Bathe Yourself In Light

Leave a reply

All of the best things in my Second Life I do with Cajsa. That’s no lie. Anything awesome and spectacular started with us going “what if we did ….” and suddenly we’ve got something that makes us both squee.

This box of light is like that. Cajsa had started messing about with projectors and boxes and  then we realized that once again, the symbiotic nature of our relationship fit together perfectly – she could build it and I could script it with poses and we’d have something beautiful.

BOOK CLUB!

Leave a reply

I am a little excited cuz I joined an SL book club. It might sound silly but I never do stuff very much other than work, and the occasional party so to have a planned SL activity plus yay BOOKS, I was excited.

My friend Owly has been quoting from this book for days, and eventually I was so intrigued I had to ask about it and then next thing I knew I was reserving the book at the library and then I was making plans to attend. Continue reading →

It Could Also Be A Couch

This might not sound like a compliment, unless you – as a small child, spent hours and hours in discount fabric stores in the 70s. They heavy, thick fabric texturing of this sundress from Aris Aris reminded me immediately of fabric that you could find on sale to cover your chair, or to make a skirt or a dress.  It’s made with natural looking creasing that only lends to it’s appearance as a thick woven fabric, heavier than a denim.

Save me from the nothing I’ve become…

“How can you see into my eyes like open doors..
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb                                                                                                      without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold                                                                    until you find it there and lead it back home”

I can certainly understand this. Wanting someone or something to bring you back to life….. Continue reading →

You Can Almost See My Sn@tch

Leave a reply

Every week Ivey Deschanel releases a new note card with another play on her stores infamous name. I’m not sure how she keeps it fresh, but I always secretly giggle a bit.  Cajsa helped me with my inventory when I was sick once, and she was horrified to discover hundreds of new release notecards from Sn@tch.

They entertain me, what can I say? Continue reading →

Bandana Day 2012 – from Gidge

Leave a reply

As Cajsa so eloquently put it, Hair Fair culminates today  in us taking off our hair to celebrate the beauty inside of us all.  Our hair is a mane that speaks to the world before we open our mouths, but how much more important is our character and person than that? A thousandfold.

It’s why I am ecstatic every year when Hair Fair occurs. Not because we love hair (we do). But because it’s about something bigger and more important than our hair do’s and blogger selves.

I want to thank Sasy Scarborough and her amazing team for once again putting on an event to be proud of, an event that speaks to us all and shows us that real beauty is more than the sum of our parts.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
~ Audrey Hepburn

Two if By Sea

Leave a reply

Longfellow’s poem tells us that Paul Revere instructed the colonials to hang lanterns “one of by land, two if by sea” at the Old North Church in Boston. I’m not sure if this is before, after or during his ride warning, “The British are coming! The British are coming!” But it occurred to me, remembering this poem, that the colonials must have already considered themselves “other” to be referring to the advancing army as “The British”.  Continue reading →

Meanwhile at Starfleet command

I am notorious for missing things. A floating necklace, a hand intersecting something, my hair stuck in my boob, or arm, or shoulder.  So you see, I took a lot of time with this post. I scrolled through most of Cajsa’s hair fair posts looking for which ‘do I wanted to wear. I had this heart ring from Callie Cline I wanted to wear and I’d been working up this romantical dreamy post all day.

It was going to be smooshy and lovey and say stuff about my heart and love, and be kind of emotionally swirly and if it was about you, you’d at least crack a smile and possibly a woody. Continue reading →
