I Want Candy

Leave a reply


I know a guy who’s tough be sweet.
He’s so fine he can’t be beat.
He’s got everything I desire.
Sets the summer sun on fire….
I want Candy….

One of my favorite clothes designers, and most creative jewelers on the web is Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora. She’s released the BACI set for Valentine’s fun and I want to eat it up. It reminds of sweet shops where candy making is still an artisan craft versus mass produced assembly line treats.

It kind of makes me want a candy right now, come to think of it. Continue reading →

Week 13 – Emerald

Leave a reply

This post is a two for one! First things first – this weeks color is Emerald and this skirt from GL Designs.

The skirt from GL Designs was a sale item last week and was what brought me into the store.  The tight fit and high waist are just my style. And the texture is gorgeous.  For the second part of the post… we move to the shoes.  I was fortunate to get a valentine gift from Je T’aime of a similar pair these gorgeous pumps.  So I had to run to the store and get a pair in black.  I am forever looking for well made, good fitting pumps, since I love to dress vintage, pumps are a must have and these are perfect.

Style Notes:

Skirt:  GL Designs – High Waisted Pinstripe, Emerald

Blouse:  2aT-Steampunk Heroes – Kiralette Ruffled Blouse, Cream

Shoes:  Je T’aime – Diana, Black

Jewelry:  Earthstones – Romance, Gold/Classic White Pearl – earrings and necklace

Glasses:  Solar – Arae

Skin:  Belleza – Jesse Sunkiss 1HB (cleavage)

Eyes:  Illusory – 05

Hair:  Dernier Cri – Sadie

Africat

Leave a reply


So I said to myself that a lazy kitty like me should get out and about and explore more often. I decided that I’d like to check out some builds of real life places and where better than a nature preserve in Africa? PHOTO SAFARI! YAY!
Except that – Africa was full of Noob Residents. Sigh. Thus you might see some weird croppings making this an less than optimal photo safari sadly. Continue reading →

A New Love For Carob

Leave a reply

I’m on a mission to explore the other colors in the wheel besides blonde from time to time, and today my spin landed on CAROB in the Truth library of beautiful color.

Carob is, to me, a disgusting powder forced upon me in childhood by well meaning relatives who felt certain it had nutritional value and would work to improve your health. They also were under the delusion that it “tasted just like chocolate.”

Pro-Tip parents, nothing tastes “just like chocolate” except chocolate. Continue reading →

Paranoia Rising

In case you missed the news, I have been exploring the fresh new hell that is modern medical care. Don’t get me wrong, I am overwhelmed by the compassion and professional care provided by the nurses, doctors and all the staff. Even when I have been “i know you are trying to kill me” paranoid, they have been wonderful. But all the compassion in the world cannot put the lid back on the bug jar when that bizarre combination of real physical pain, the loss of editorial control from pain meds and the psychosis induced by renal failure introduced me to an entire new world. In fact, when I get out I think I have some blockbuster sci-fi stories on file, if I can find some thread of coherence.

Isn’t it just perfect, then, that the last photo shoot before I went into the hospital is atypical of my usual shoot and includes some pics that would totally fit into a couple of my narratives of the last week, like the one where the Dept. of Defense was attempting to do a consciousness transfer of my mind to the man who loves war via Ipod. Ipod??? Go figure. But I am pleased that the DoD was on the side of peace and justice and only hatched their scheme in response to his love of war.

Color Me Coddly, Color Me Happy

I had planned to blog this before I went into the hospital for surgery, but ran out of “oomph” and didn’t get it up. I shot this for Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color Challenge because I love this gown from Paper Couture and it’s blue, blue, blue!!!!

The gown may be blue and the lovely Endless sim may be blue, but I a not feeling blue at all. I am a happy woman. When my best friend came to visit me after surgery she said, “before we chat, go look at your blog.” I cried, of course, touched not only be the treasure trove that is Gidge’s boundless heart, but also by the outpouring of good wishes, hopes and prayers from friends, acquaintances and readers here on the blog, in SL and in plurk. There was a whirlwind of love and kindness that circled the globe, gathering up hope an dropping it gently into that operating theater here at OHSU. And it worked. My surgery was complete within the minimum estimated time and there were no complications at all. Despite a rough day of illness and drama yesterday, I woke up this morning full of energy and optimism. Thank you each and every one for adding your voice to that whirlwind of hope that lifted me up through a very rough few days.

Brand New Day: Grey Can Be Happy If You Wear It Right

You can turn the clock to zero honey
I’ll sell the stock, we’ll spend all the money
We’re starting up a brand new day.

Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if he’ll take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way


It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
There’s no simply no immunity – no guarantee
I say LOVE is such a force – if you find yourself in it
No time for reflection there…


Turn the clock to zero Mac
I’m begging him to take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero boss
the river’s wide we’ll swim across
I’m starting up a brand new day
