This may be a dress, but

oct18b_002

This may be a dress, but I cannot see myself wearing it that way. I don’t mind short, but if I don’t have to bend over to show off my panties, well, it’s a tunic, not a dress. But what a tunic! I love its simple lines and modern aesthetic. It zips up the back for a snug fit and the small center pleat gives it just the perfect bit of swing. I love everything about it once I quit thinking of it as a dress.

Excuse Me We Need To Talk About Your Hands

I am here today to talk to you about those hands. Cuz, I too, was a wearer of meat hands. And LO my friend Sasy said “GIRL, why you still wearing those MEAT HANDS!” And I said “NAY! For I like them and they are what is natural and good in my eyes!” And Cajsa said “BUT THE MEAT HANDS DON’T HAVE EXPRESSION!” and I said “But they are MINE and I love them.”

But then I put on the mesh hands and I left behind the meat hands forever.

BUT THERE IS HOPE YEA THERE IS HOPE! If you too say “I love the meat hands but I sure wish I could get some of those amazing fingernails, WHAT DO I DO?” Let me tell you all about it. Continue reading

What Can I Do In Slink(y) Stilettos

It started off like a fashion blog might. I took some shots of a lovely cocktail ring from Maxi Gossamer. I was delighted that it sits next to my wedding ring – I LOVE wearing more than one ring.

Then I shot the shoes.

And I had this THOUGHT! I’d do a THEN AND NOW OF THE STILETTOS OF MY SL.

Because, the world has changed. I dug into my inventory with glee planning to show you how far we’d come when I realized – I’d deleted them in a rare inventory purge. Which is sad, because they were really something. I’d gotten them in a freebie box at this place that had tons of free or cheap furniture and you could game there. YEAH that’s how long ago I got them. I looked on MP, so great was my zeal to show them to you, but alas, the great MAGIC BOX SUNDERING of 2013 must have obliterated them all.

So, next idea.  Continue reading

What Does My SL Actually Look Like


With all of the photoshopping and windlighting and fancy things we bloggers do to pictures, it’s easy to forget that this isn’t the usual SL’ers experience. Some people come onto the grid and don’t even know HOW to change the lights. Personally, I remember someone teaching me how to make the sun come back as being a brilliant day. I got lamps for my SL house just FOR WHEN IT WAS DARK. I literally didn’t know what else to do. Continue reading

59th Street Bridge

apr10_003

Retro prints make me happy and I could not resist trying to make a thoroughly modern look out of the gorgeous Kitsch leggings from Tableau Vivant for Collabor88. Adding a very modern bodysuit and capelet from Molichino, this look may be feeling groovy, but it’s hippie chic not hippie chick.

Slow down, you move too fast, you’ve got to make the morning last
Just kickin’ down the cobble-stones, lookin’ for fun and feelin’ groovy

Feeling groovy Continue reading

Let Me Give Your Heart A Break

I Know You Are

Watching the temperature drop has made me a cranky girl. I want my daffodils and spring days. I am ready now, for winter to be gone and the newness of the world to open up like oxygen to us all. Continue reading

Easter Colors Hatch

The soft yellows, pinks and greens of Easter are upon us, signaling spring is coming. Despite the snow storm that just swept across the north of my part of the world, today it’s  a barbecue and socializing that is on my calendar. Continue reading

Make Mine a Sarsaparilla with Phosphate

Mar07_006

I headed out to an old-fashioned diner thinking I would like an old-fashioned soda. When I was a child, it was an 85 mile drive to go to the eye doctor, so mom always gave me a special treat taking me to this old-fashioned diner that served phosphates. I always ordered a sarsaparilla phosphate and just the thought of one makes me thirsty and homesick and of course, makes me miss my mom. I stopped off at the Roadside Diner and I would have ordered a sarsaparilla phosphate, but the jerk was obviously taking a long, long break.

Something In a Sunday

jan26_008

DCNY released the Moto jacket in several colors in plain or embroidered options.

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

Gos Boutique released an entire collection of shoes that take all the guesswork out of tinting. You will find some problems when shooting with projectors since SL does not love alphas as much as it should. You can eliminate the issue by turning off the ankle sheath in the HUD settings.

I’d smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I’d been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I’d lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way.
