There is a wee gacha festival opened up on Jersey shore and I popped over this morning to distract myself from my impending day of being an adult. While I wasn’t able to do MUCH shopping, I knocked off one item from my list immediately.
The glasses from Hopscotch are truly must have. This way ladies, you can tell if he’s got the goods – in his inventory.
The hair is from Alice Project and I think I forgot she has a new HUD. I like it better. SO SIMPLE EVEN GIDGE CAN USE IT!
That’s all for today my lovelies. Pop over to Jersey Shore for a little gacha fun.
Gidge Is Wearing:
Hair: *Alice Project* Summertime Sadness [S] – Basics – For Rhapsody
Glasses: *~*HopScotch*~* X-Ray – for Oh My Gacha
Head: Slink Visage Mesh Head – Becky
Skin: Adam n Eve Skins – Siobhan T1 Candy

My new SLINK Physique body and I have a busy day ahead of us. I decided to feed it some breakfast, to find out if it’s as big of a foodie as my old body was. Indeed it is. I picked up a new toaster from What Next for FLF which is the PERFECT addition to my shades of pink kitchen, and it makes lots of yummies. Continue reading

In fact it came with the hair, from PLOOM for The Fantasy Collective. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to take one of Sacha’s Designs ballgowns for a stroll, shopping in a crown and ballgown, I believe it’s what our Linden Overlords intended when they made our world.
I usually slap on one of the huds to dye my hair this or that, I love Ploom’s colors, however this one was so cute out of the box I had to leave it. Continue reading

Yesterday The Lab decided early AM was the perfect time for rolling restarts. I was sitting in my house, living my 2nd existence when I got a notice that I would be booted if I didn’t leave the sim in five minutes. My first thought was WHY IS GOGO RESTARTING THE SIM AT 7 AM? Alas, it wasn’t Gogo, she wasn’t online and then I realized it was The Lab.
I headed over to my studio, and got dressed, thinking I’d do a nice traditional shoot with a lovely casual release from ISON at Collabor88, except right about the time I’d gotten my wig on, again ROLLING RESTART IN MY REGION. Five minutes to move on. So, NOW WHERE? Continue reading

I had a tremendous giggle over these hats from Xen’s Hats. Textured with various fruits, they’re silly and fun.
Sometimes I just love something that was made for fun. You don’t need for it to be super meaningful or high fashion. It’s just damn fun.
When I was a noob, I bought purple hair at CAKE. My friends I came to SL with asked “Why is your hair purple?” My only response was, “Because it can be.”
That is sort of the same for these hats from Xen’s. THEY CAN BE HATS OF FRUIT – therefore they are. They are also 100% donation from Fashion for Life event so you still have time to pick them up, for no other reason than they are a fun item and a great cause.
Gidge Is Wearing:
Skin: Adam N Eve – Simone
Hair: Exile – Criminal
Hat: Xens Hats for Fashion for Life – 100% Donation Item
Earrings: Bliensen & MaiTai – for Fashion for Life

I was browsing my inventory this morning, searching for something to wear with my earrings from Bliesen + Maitai for FASHION FOR LIFE and was reminded, due to my lack of inventory maintenance, of how many years I’ve attended Fashion for Life. It’s not something that’s ever been top of mind, like COLLABOR88, Fifty Linden Friday, or The Arcade, where I feel a RUSH and desire to go. More like, it’s something I should go to as a member of our community to support the spirit of charity and helping support American Cancer Society.
I’m lucky, genetically. There is no cancer in my family. It doesn’t mean there won’t ever be, it just means I’m not predisposed. My genes are on file at Columbia, because of different family medical issues, and I know for a fact that I carry none of the KNOWN genetic markers for any type of cancer. Continue reading

La Gyo has released two accessory sets for COLLABOR88 this month, one sailor themed an done pirate themed, for your nautical accessorizing needs. They are pretty cute and the hat was super easy to fit. Continue reading
Shh, don’t tell Gidge, but I am wearing pink! Not that I hate pink or anything, I just generally choose other colors because I know if Gidge likes the same dress, she would probably choose pink most of the time. However, this time she is out of luck. I have it first. I am wearing it. So there!
This gorgeous gown is from Lili’s Couture Collection and is a limited edition release at Fashion For Life. Only 100 copies will be sold, so if you have it, you can wear it to a formal event and be pretty sure you will not see it on another person. It’s made with several options that I left off, preferring a simple silhouette. You can add stockings, gloves, sheer sleeve caps and a full mermaid flounce at the bottom.

One of the joys of Second Life is allowing us to inhabit parallel lives, the lives we dreamed in our youth. Like many of you, I dreamed of all sorts of “when I grow up” scenarios. Mostly I said I wanted to be an archeologist when I grew up, but there were times when I declared my intent for president, supreme court justice, artist and dancer. Of course, I did grow up to inhabit none of these dreams, finding instead my adult dream as a political activist. I am happy with my adult dreams and only feel a faint nostalgic wistfulness for my childhood dreams. How fun it is, though, to live those dreams as an avatar. This season’s offerings from The Arcade are really the stuff dreams are made of.
