Second Life is a fantasy world for us all. I’m perfectly thin, I’m blonde again (the color of my childhood hair). My house is never messy and and I can simply log out when I’m annoyed.
It’s a shame then that awesome events like Fantasy Faire sometimes get looked at like “oh if I don’t have elf ears or cloven hooves it’s not for me.” Continue reading
I was absolutely taken back in time with the set of retro furniture released by Barnesworth Anubis for Collabor88.
My own Uncle George, the mecca of style and culture from my childhood, owned almost EXACTLY this furniture.
He’d designed and built a house, with a proper formal double parlour. One half of the room was southwestern, with lots of amazing things from his trips to Mexico displayed all over. The other half though, was this amazing post modern blue and white SQUARE funiture.
Paired with bleached blonde wood (allegedly from Sweden) he even had a blonde piano in that half of the room. The furniture was leather, but felt like glossy plastic. As though someone had made furniture out of patent leather shoes, yet it was in fact true leather. He polished it every week with a special product he had shipped in from somewhere.
This wasn’t lounging furniture. This was sitting up properly and visiting after dinner furniture. Or receiving guests furniture. Or listening to the piano being played furniture.
The animals WERE NOT allowed on the furniture.
I suppose that accounts for my small rebellion above. I hope he forgives me.
So because of Barnesworth Anubis, I had a stroll down memory lane. It made me a little teary and a little happy. I wish I had that damn furniture now.
Decor and Furniture Shown:
Wall Art: Trompe Loeil – Nine Cell art works
Furniture: Retro Living Room from Barnesworth Anubis

I was scrolling through the feeds this morning while drinking my coffee and realized I’d noted two posts to look at later for shopping, therefore I was almost to a fast five. Thus, I bring you the Fast Five from Gidge inspired by my morning coffee shopping time.
1. The Blues-Ish The gradient blue in this picture caught my eye immediately. I love FreeStyle and still use it as a catalog of places to shop that provide quality free or inexpensive items.
2. Beautiful Life: I only like poses that appear to be mid-motion. I’m weird like that. Sam Laszlo’s post has some great pics that truly look like avatars caught mid-joy. Love the looks too. Continue reading
It is far less likely that it would look like this…
than that it would look like this… Continue reading
Darkley said we’re doing a sweaty boobs and flexi skirt meme?
I am wearing a ballgown at the beach.
Please take the sweaty boobs as understood. Continue reading
I’ve been waiting for Hart to release Sophia in a Natural tone because this girl doesn’t tan in either life. He just recently released her in ALL tones so if you do love a darker or mid range tone run to demo!
But the VIP Group once again proves that this group is a blogger’s good friend. You need versatility and lots of skins as a blogger (especially a new blogger, this isn’t cheap) and belonging to VIP groups that provide quality awesome skins is where it’s at.
Plus I think it’s lovely that it has the same name as Cajsa’s mom.
Gidge Is Wearing:
Skin: PXL Creations VIP Group Spring Gift
Hair: EXILE – Raspberry Beret
Eyes: Poetic Colors – Coral Reef
Lashes: Amacci Eyelash Tattoo
My own sloth and WoW interfered with me posting this yesterday. I know it’s hard to believe a video game could interfere with people getting things done, isn’t it?
Anyway, here’s my fast five for yesterday also today.
1. Proceeding on Good Faith: People make mistakes. Creators, customers, etc. Paypaback Writer gives us a play by play on how she’s trying to be a good customer in the face of some kind of crazy mistakes. Reminder creators – although RL > SL you do actually have responsibilities to your customers. This is real money we are spending with you. Act like it. Continue reading
Cajsa rousted me from my sloth by taking me to the Avenue Retail room, where the fashion houses of SL are putting for sale the items they’ve shown on the runways. As the room began to rez, directly in front of me stood a pink dream.
So I had to have it. Continue reading
…with all the frills upon it.

I decided it wasn’t going to be a proper Easter unless I fetched Sophie from vising Uncle Inventory (She was there visiting with Gogo’s baby Chris) and took her to do some Easter Egg hunting! We had to go Easter dress shopping first, and I picked her up an adorable crocheted dress and Sweet Penelope & I slipped into this lovely leather dress from Baiastice that I’ve been looking for a reason to wear.
These garden gnomes though, they seem to be confused on the HUNT concept. Continue reading
