So, I was slapping together my morning blog post today and I said, self, something is wrong – THIS IS DEMO HAIR! My friend Alice had sent me some hairs cuz we’re friends and I’m a blogger and she makes hair and it’s a symbiotic relationship and anyway don’t even bother her about free hair I can’t get you hair but anyway after I realized I had on a demo, I went to Plurk.

Dancing And Pool Parties

Leave a reply

I logged in for Cajsa’s smooth jazz set on Sunday and she said “Put on your swimsuit.”

Handily, I had just picked a new one up at Fameshed from Valentina E.  I thought it was kind of adorable because it included a cover up so it was perfect.

The Velvet had added an outdoor pool of eclectic elegance so it was a relaxing morning of floating and dancing while we shook off our Sunday lethargy.

When I didn’t feel like swimming, the cover-up still provided a pool party appropriate look without my bootie hanging out. Continue reading →

Damselfly Returns To My Shopping List

Leave a reply

Everybody has that store, that store you USED to shop at. Damselfly was my GO TO for big old floofy “TEXAS PAGEANT HAIR” and it was awesome. Truly, I was a major fan and flocked over to pick up every release I could. While I’m positive by the amount of FLEXI one sees in ballrooms that big flowy hair still has it’s audience, in order to keep my Fashion Mafia card I had to move on to mesh.

And said fair thee well to Damselfly. Continue reading →

Several Shoots Later

I shot this outfit five times. Five different times. This is a grand departure from my old self, wherein I would say TO HELL WITH THIS OUTFIT and delete it all and you’d never see it.

I used to feel like, it just wasn’t meant to be, if the pics were all shite. But that’s more Presbyterian than I care to be, so I kept going back and back and back to the studio, or that studio, or this location, or at my house, until eventually I even made myself a projector and played with it until I came up with these pics.

Good Things

I like things that take like 1 land impact and are awesome. I was desk hunting the other day, and besides finding “daddy little %&^ bucket” desk, I was having trouble locating something that was ME.  I like my home in SL to be comfy and cozy, maybe a bit worn and lived in. I want it to be a place where you feel welcome.

My friend Isla Gealach (and contributor here at IOF) popped in and said DUH, I made on it’s 1 Land impact.  It’s from CHEEKY PEA and if your land impact needs are constrained it’s BRILLIANT! Continue reading →

PixelProm Stag

Leave a reply

I had originally planned not to attend Pixel Prom because my husband is still away in Azeroth, so I figured, eh, why bother. Plus the time was bad for me. But then things changed and the time wasn’t so bad after all…and so I thought well, hell, I could slip on some nylons and something floofy and head over for a while? Continue reading →

A Life More Ordinary

I was having RL stress Wednesday night when my friend Harrison logged in. He’s never around, at least when not when I am, so I ordered out for sushi and invited him to come over and hangout in Government Housing with me. Continue reading →

Beach Blanket Bingo Is For Ugly People

Leave a reply

To celebrate the opening of THE GARDEN this round, there was a beach party over at THE NEST. It just so happened that I had a new bikini and nowhere to be for at least an hour, so I failed to touch up my roots yet ran over anyway to frolic in the sand with everyone. Continue reading →

The Drama Train Never Stops On Sunday

Leave a reply

There is something to be said for Sundays away from the computer. You miss a lot of name calling and raging and shenanigans. It seems like, on Sundays, our friends are unable to defend themselves and require us to rage against people that they may or may not be mad at. It also seems like, everything and everyone can’t just like, don’t worry be happy.

I however, opt for the latter. I made jello. Jello is, in my belief, one of the finest treats around. I am considering making something that I am told Australians love, Fairy Bread. I don’t know yet, that’s a maybe. Continue reading →
