May 23rd, 2021 – Orange you glad?

When one starts sorting their inventory, one of two things can happen : either one finds adorable things that perfectly match one another, or one gets lost in the neverending mess and ends up hours later, bald, with mismatched head and body skin, green lips, purple skirt, a flip-flop on one foot and a ski boot on the other, holding a penis thrower from circa 2008. Let’s be honest, the odds of the first happening are not good.

Today, however, a miracle happened. I was going through an old folder and stumbled upon that very cute head band from Chocolate Atelier, and it was going perfectly with my hair, cute earrings from Euphorie, and so on and so forth…

The only thing I couldn’t seem to find was make-up, mostly because most of what I own (a lot) isn’t made for EvoX. So I went to Shiny Stuffs and found exactly what I needed.

April, 11th, 2021. Hiding in the Mists

Once in a while, when browsing pictures on Flickr, I stumble upon something I want to get for my avatar. Mind you, it had been a while, but the Chronicles and Legends event managed to drag me back to SL, fast.

I am Fae. Always have been, always will be. But (Second) Life got in the way and I lost my wings for a long time. Today, I found them again. And it feels good.

Making Christmas

Hello lovelies. If you’ve been locked in a cave or trapped under something heavy you may have missed the news that Lelutka is offering a new head for group members, for free. You can pick up a male and female head just for the having, and I do have to admit, I might like this one the best of any I’ve gotten in 2020. It wasn’t hard to get her face in shape for a Gidgey type look either.

How are you decorating for Christmas? Do you buy gifts for your SL friends? I popped over to the ARCADE and pulled levers for gifts for friends which was fun. A cream doggie for Gogo (already gave it – no worries). A Black and Tan doggo for Dancien, something fun and RARE for Kitty. I also grabbed a few delightful hampers for some friends—it was a successful shopping trip, and I couldn’t wait so I already gave some away. I know I’m silly, but still – I love Christmas.

I’m in the middle of decorating my home and I’m using mostly old decor items this year because they are traditional to me and my SLife. Do you have traditions in SL? I like having items I do every year. It makes my SLife have more of a narrative which makes me happy.

We are winding up for the holidays – I bet there have been “Baby it’s Cold Outside” posts already.

There are still a few days left before Hallow Manor closes its doors, and if you haven’t been yet, I recommend you take a look.

16/10/2020 – Hallow Manor

I would like to invite you to a fiendish event that opens today. You will be able to find macabre items, and to search for the lost keys in a hunt for only the truly insane!

When you arrive at Hallow Manor, you enter the gates to find a winding alley of goods that have been created with the macabre and frightful in mind. Once you have purchased everything your little black heart desires, you will enter the grounds of Hallow Manor’s cemetery, and perhaps catch a glimpse of the old estate.

You will have an opportunity to purchase a HUD in order to search for the lost keys to unlock the hidden prize room, or, if you so wish, purchase a master key HUD, to bi-pass the hunt.

My personal favourites at the event so far are the gorgeous boots from Eclectica. They come in many floral tones and both the mesh and textures are exquisitely made. They’re also very volatile as they are texture change and you can modify different parts separately.

You may also want to hunt for the Macabre Girl Set from Lovelysweet, the tattoo layers are insanely cute, in a macabre, creepy way.

[shameless plug mode on] Don’t forget to check out the Banana Banshee eyes, both at the booth and hunt [shameless plug mode off]

Kawaii a Bit

I have to admit that one of the things I LOVE most about BOM being a thing is my ability to pull out RIDICULOUS things from the beginnings of SL and wear them. SUCH AS – these jeans from Butterfly Island – was that the place or the brand? The brand – was it Coconut Ice? Man I can’t remember….. Oh Butterfly Island, I coveted all your things once upon a time. I bought them, I stalked the lucky chairs, I was a fairy more often than not.

I went back once a couple of years ago or more and was nostalgic and sad for how amazing it used to be – and how it simply had not kept up in the way old stores don’t sometimes.

Thus, I put on my fairy jeans and relive my love of those days when belts were painted on our pants and we thought that was just lovely.

The secret these days, of course, is simply not to move too much in your BOM pants or that waistline slips around like crazy and you look nuts. Thus, I took may photos and tried to find the least nuttiest.

I don’t care. I still love these jeans. Weird painted fairies and all.

Now who wants to help me eat this gummy bear? This thing is ridiculous.

August 28th, 2020. A pink day

Oh hi! Today I didn’t go to work because of what I thought was a sciatica. Turns out it’s a tendonitis in my buttock. Yes, you may laugh, and no, I don’t know how I did that. Anyway, since I had a little time at home on my own, I managed to put together an outfit and take a few pictures.

I went to Uber and grabbed a few of the gifts that each store has, as it’s a birthday round. These lovely glasses were one of them. So were the adorable fairy lights in the picture below. I also grabbed (not a gift but worth it) another set of gorgeous rings from Yummy, and the matching nails from Nylon Outfitters.

SL17B

I had an inauspicious landing at SL17B as the landing point i chose dropped me right in the middle of some pool inside a building of some sort. It never rezzed to the point that I could figure out if it was a temple, or some sort of memorial or what it was I was trapped in. I finally managed to climb out, irritated to say the least but as always, I wanted to love SL17B.

It’s like the sims on SL17B were planned and put together by people who never once had to plan or lay out an event. There is some sort of joyous “cram everything together and who cares how it looks” planning that seems to go on. What this ends up meaning for us mortals not rocking the greatest gaming computer is that it is lag hell, and rendering hell. Is that a rocket ship? Is that a rock? Is that a cyclops? I’ll never know. It never rezzed.

It’s hard to put down the amazing and inspired vignettes our fellow citizens make though. There’s so much joy and creativity, little activities scattered through out to make you smile and let you enjoy the view. Sometimes maybe it’s ok if things aren’t perfect, if you can still enjoy the fun of it.

I stumbled in to a poetry cafe, where we were invited to sit and then touch the photo of the poet we were interested in. I was handed a copy of Maya Angelou’s Poem “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” which was poignant to me in light everything going on out in the world.

There are some amazing builds, beautiful vignettes to take photos or just play and enjoy your SL. It’s worth the lag and slogging through the mess of it, it really is. There are gifts that are amazing and you can find those in concentrated gift areas. There’s also a shopping area – shop and hop or something or other. You can locate them all here at this link.

Have you gone? You need to go.

After all – there is a free Kittycat! Always a win.

There was a lot more to see and do – obviously one place was giving out a horse to ride, which I found to be delightful. There is a trolley but I could never manage to get on it – i find that confusing. I waited a ridiculous amount of time – let me tell you. It kept going! There is also a drive in movie which LOOKS great but doesn’t work – it says you can click on the screen to start it but it just craps out.

Regardless of these quibbles – SL17B will only come once and this is your chance. Get off your platform and go have some fun. Be ridiculous. Pick up the freebies. Come for the fun, stay for the lag.
