A very, very fine house

My House

I do not move houses very often in Second Life® or in real life. It is just too much work. However, when the Brooklyn Carriage House came out at Collabor88 last month, I could not resist its bright red doors and fine brickwork. I finally have everything arranged, but will be moving shortly. I thought I would share before I pack it all up. I love the house and how it looks, but I guess my four year old computer really cannot handle such an open floor plan where everything fezzes all the time. I need rooms and walls that limit the textures my computer has to handle, so I will be on my way to a more traditional space. That is totally a reflection of my computer’s age and is no criticism of the house – which is gorgeous, very, very gorgeous.

My outdoor decor is pretty limited, just a few shrubs and bushes from We’re Closed, a couple trees and the gorgeous deck from Lark that was released at The Liaison Collaborative a few month’s back.

Pink Of The Day

Here is my Look of the Day! It’s all about the pink, which I think is appropriate for Mother’s Day Weekend. I always think of pink and flowers and spring and love and the birth of a season.

To all the Mother’s, Mother’s To Be, People Who Foster and Men who take on a Mother’s Role.

Happy Mother’s Day! <3

Deep within the corners of my mind

I wish I could do justice to this fabulous jacket from erratic. What you cannot see is the leather detailing that begins below the breasts and continues to the hem with rows of leather piping. It’s a stunning and ultra modern jacket. It comes in several colors.

Deep within the corners of my mind
I keep a memory of your face
And I only pull it out
When I long for your embrace

Deep within the corners of my mind
I’m haunted by your smile
As it promises me joy
Like a journey to a tropic isle

Totum quod splendet

It’s true, all that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it is bronze, silver or platinum. And sometimes it is a bit of all at once as in this gorgeous top from Fashionably Dead. The peplum top is available at Collabor88 where the theme this month seems to be proving that glitter comes in every color. I dressed it up with the bottom of the Kamille dress from Countdown. One of the advantages of combining mesh with system layers, as Countdown has, is the ability to mix and match which makes me happy.

Dead Man’s Party

I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin’ with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin’ to a party where no one’s still alive.

I was struck by lighting
Walkin’ down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It’s a dead man’s party
Who could ask for more
Everybody’s comin’, leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .

Collabor88

Seriously, this is the cutest outfit EVER. I sludged through the lag at Collabor88 but it was well worth it. So many adorable things there this month. I’m sure you’ll see all these things blogged a million times this month but who cares….I’m cute as shit.

This outfit makes me long for fall. I was just saying this morning over on plurk how I hate that So Cal doesn’t have seasons. I guess I will have to be content with living out my fall fantasies in SL.

Spoiled

There seems to be a lot of drama surrounding NSFW lately. Is it a full moon? Are people getting  end of the winter cabin fever? Are people just really this prudish? Are people really this offended? I don’t have the answers, I just think people should calm down. There are more important things to get up in arms about…like that guy Rick Santorum. He’s bat shit crazy.

Anyways, here is a cute outfit from Blue Blood called spoiled doll. I’m sure that means spoiled as in “this dolly gets everything she wants” not “this doll smells like cottage cheese”.

Boots: Blue Blood – Lovely Goth Boots – black
Eyes: Blue Blood- DollMania Avatar Eyes

Shark Tale

Yeah, a tale about a beautiful dark/goth skin from (fashionably dead) that has been set out for 50L only: it’s “Shark”, Toast Bard’s item for this Fifty Linden Friday and i absolutely love it!

Shark!

Did i say that i love it? 😛

It comes in three different tones, so everyone’s happy 🙂

If you like this awesome skin you better hurry up, because time is ticking away and tomorrow it won’t be available anymore.

Sorry for this short post, RL is keeping me soooo busy lately, but i HAD to find 5 mins to show you this fab skin, in case you missed it.

Ciao! 🙂

And Now for Something Completely Different

blackglow_004

As you can see, despite having worn this dress for a few days while I ran hither and yon and snapped and screenshotted for three different tutorials, this dress has resisted all stains and wrinkles. I think it’s perfect travel wear and should go with you on all your journeys. The top and skirt are from Fashionably Dead and are beautifully made. I love the understated colors in these pieces and the rich details such as the floral print inset on the skirt and the little buttons on the sleeves.
