The One Where I Do The Happy Dance

Posted by Gidge Uriza

WHY ARE MY FINGERS IN SHADOW! AAAAAAAH!! Okay, ANYWAYS…

I’m doing the happy dance. I’m seriously doing a dance of joy and this was the best way to show you. WHY? WHY?

Well, it all started like this, first I popped into Fleur cuz she’s got all her skins 1/2 price and I like her boutique skins – she’s got some pretty faces and I wanted to take a long gander at what she had just to see if there were any I needed. (cough, cough).

While I’m there studying face by face…I just notice she’s got a freebie up on the wall. And I say, SELF – I wonder what is IN that freebie? I check it’s contents and it’s several skins I HAVE….but it’s also a nice assortment for “newbies” of her Vivant skins which I had never tried.  A range of tones, etc. Continue reading →

Okay, so I’m showing you my entries to the Tres Jolie photo contest.

I’m not a photographer. I don’t even play one on TV.  But I’m sort of getting INTO taking my own pictures and I figured Iota is a friend and she wouldn’t laugh hysterically at me if I entered.

I took about, oh……..200 pictures. NO LIE. About 178 of them are EXACTLY THE SAME.  This is how I know I will NEVER actually BE a photographer. Because there are probably nuances of difference between them which I will NEVER see.  Continue reading →

Is it me, or do I look like I’m being stalked in this picture? GET AWAY!

Just kidding.

I’m making my way through the VIP hunt gifts and this one is a little out of order – it’s from the creator Fukmi Sideways who, although I knew her from Plurk, I’d never visited her store until the hunt. While there I picked up a cute bikini for my beach time this Memorial Day holiday! Continue reading →

Blacklace Whimsy

It was really Ivey Deschanel’s fault. She made these huge floopy boudouir slippers that required new lingerie to wear with them. I’d had them a few days and already felt bad for having nothing new to parade around the house in with them. So I slipped over to the SXY2nd Sim and into Blacklace to check out what I just hd to have and ran into this SWEET little set. Continue reading →

Indy 500 Fever

Indy 500 fever will be gripping the greater Indianapolis area as the parties and events leading up to the big race are in FULL Swing by now. (ah, I do miss it). Party hopping on Friday before the race used to be a full-on social requirement and the only requirement for being fashionable, was to ROCK the black and white.

I was wandering around Retrology just seeing what I needed and still didn’t have and ambled into this really cute set from Encore. Meeting all the requirements of casual, cute and black & white I decided it was a win for Friday festivities! Continue reading →

Casual Friday – On Wednesday

It’s Friday in my world. I used to work in a place that had a jeans on Friday rule. If you were going to be OFF of work on Friday, you’d wear jeans on whatever your LAST day of work that week was, and declare to anyone who raised their eyebrows “TODAY IS MY FRIDAY!”

Hey. It worked.

This is another great pick-up from Dolly Rock when she releases her new releases for only L$100. I would never lie and say I’m madly in love with everything she makes (hell, I fangrl Digit Darkes and won’t even say that about her) but truly – I find some gems in that store, fun kicky things from formal to smexy and I adore picking them up on sale for belonging to her SOM.

This set includes the jens, corset style top and a hat.

I am not wearing the hat. I’m not a hat person, they involve editing and other things that I have little patience for. It’s a CUTE hat. It’s just not my thing. Especially after I spent so much time doing my hair!

I have a new project I’ve taken on. I recently did the key hunt with Cajsa and Belle. And I have a confession.

It is the first hunt I’ve ever actually DONE it all. I have never had a hunt hang- out night with my girlfriends, never actually just SAT UP until it was done. So afterward, after I had collected my BOOTIE……..I had this thought.

What if? What if I took my time and went back to each and every store that was good enough to particiapte – and check them out? What if I actually patronized them, since I was introduced to many of them via this hunt? Continue reading →

Eating My Way Through the Sxy2nd Sim

So a few nights a go my friend Jackson, when asked what he was doing, replied that he was building his boardwalk. Boys in SL telling me they are building is the equivalent to being asked to watch someone play a video game. So I said “That’s nice, talk to you later” and went on about my life.

I spent too many of my first months on the grid, watching other people build. 

But I was curious, so when I was certain it was safe, I popped over to see what was there.

YAY Games! Im totally taking Silo over here!

After posting a super fun dress I found at Weatherby’s while shopping with Belle, I got a big old bag of goodies dropped on me from them. HOW sweet! It included this dress, #5 that is just irresistable in it’s color splash joy.

It’s still cool enough at night to warrant a light sweater where I am, and I knew I picked up this bolero length sweater from AXEL for a reason. It’s a great compliment to some of the swirls in the dress. Continue reading →

Beach Day!

It’s summer, right? It is at THE DECK, the endless summer beach shopping sim owned by Sasy Scarborough. When invited to her Rez day party I realized I hadn’t popped into Nicky Ree in a while, and maybe she had a new swimsuit that’s suit my fancy.

So I popped over.

Of course she did. Continue reading →
