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
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. Continue reading
She was the walking incarnation of the karma wheel, was Milly. She did good things, good things happened. She did bad things, bad things happened. Yet just like the old witchcraft rules, her evil returned to her threefold (although who is doing that counting is always somewhat suspect to me).
Born in the coal mining hills of West Virginia, the 9th of 13 children, Milly was born into poverty. Her exhausted mother looked at the two nurses who had just come to the house to deliver her and asked “What are your names?”. Sister Imelda and Sister Ann they were, and thus – Imelda Ann was named – called Milly. Continue reading
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
Whimsy and fun are half the reason I log in to SL. The other half is clearly the wry repartee. Continue reading
It had been so long since I took my Bloom Doll out for fun that I couldn’t resist playing with her last night. I wondered how and if she’d work with mesh and voila, first try an XS fits her just fine. Continue reading
Wednesday is never easy. People try to pop around happy proclaiming Happy Hump day or other inane blather but to me, it’s like omg, the weekend – so FAR away. This morning I couldn’t be arsed to do more than lay about my house and consider getting up. Just consider it. Continue reading
Some people are super anti template. I don’t really care as long as it’s been textured really well. I mean, you just throw a silly plain color on it and I’m not digging it. I’m not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure this skirt I’m wearing is a mesh template (I saw MANY replicas of this style on the marketplace today). And that’s okay, I think templates CAN over saturate the market but the one’s that are really well textured are fine. Honestly, who the hell is purchasing the boring stuff anyways? I’m not because this skirt is cute with little white skulls on it. So there you have it. The top is from Ison and I love it. It’s going to be one of those tops that go with everything and I like that because I’m lazy.
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.

Okay, I lied. I said I wasn’t going to take off the new Glam Affair skin I bought today. But, when RubyStarlight and I went to check out Metaphoria today and demo their pretty new skins I couldn’t resist and purchased it.
This brand is new to me and to a lot of others from what I’ve heard so far. It’s so funny because when a new skin maker comes out the first thing people say is “IS THIS AN ALT?” “IS THIS BOTTED?” Which is a shame because we are all jaded from all the crap that has happened lately with other skin brands. I guess we forget that some people are honest. Shit, I hope I don’t eat my words! SEE!!! lol
