I am still settling in to my new place, living in smaller quarters with the ocean as my yard is taking a little getting used but I admit, I kind of like it.
Trompe Loeil released a gorgeous couple of sets of patio furniture recently and now that I’m getting settled in to sorting out my living arrangements, I thought that this set fit exactly for my new deck. Continue reading
I’ve haven’t blogged in a while, I’ve just been in a blogger funk..it happens. I decided to blog some Culture Shock stuff because, well, I just wanted to. 😀
Culture Shock opens to the public May 4th and will last 3 weeks.
You might say to yourself, SELF, I don’t know what to wear to the Zombie Apocalypse but I’d say, why just dig around in your inventory. You probably have lots of awesome stuff just sitting around waiting to wear while killing zombies. Continue reading
I decided to do the opposite of Cajsa when picking up the Unedited Photo Challenge and do LOTS of color vs very limited range.  I followed my usual habit of snorking off of Honour McMillan’s blog for a place to shoot onlocation.  It was perfection that the place I landed on  is called Happy Mood, as I have nothing but one of those.

There’s the progress we have found
a way to talk around the problem
building towered foresight
isn’t anything at all
Buy the sky and sell the sky and and bleed the sky and tell the sky Continue reading
Growing up in the Minnesota Northwoods, Mardi Gras was not something I paid much attention to. I had Catholic friends and knew all about Ash Wednesday, but there were never any big parties the night before. Can you imagine Marge and Norm Gunderson or Jerry Lundegaard dancing down the street while jazz was played by live musicians? Can you imagine live musicians marching down any street in Minnesota playing something other then Minnesota, Hail to Thee or the localized version of On Wisconsin? It’s not that there were no Catholics in the Northwoods, but they were Scandinavian Catholics which made them act more like Lutherans anyway. It worked the same with the Baptists like my family. You may see lots of movies with those Baptist gospel choirs and dancing in the pews, but not the Scandinavian Baptists. They might sing gospel songs, but with all the fervor of Sheldon Cooper. So, any interest in Mardi Gras would have been anthropological – an examination of the rites and practices of some foreign country, like Louisiana.
The Love Gacha launched this week and so I thought I’d show you a few of the goodies. The flower in my hair is a gacha item from Balderdash and comes in a beautiful rainbow of colors!
I’m also wearing the cute baseball top from SN@TCH that Cajsa got, since I live my life saying MEH nonstop, she knew I’d have to have it. I’m wearing it with the yoga pants from Somnia which are made to coordinate with the top. And now I can do yoga! Continue reading
A plurk conversation yesterday sparked a conversation where Photos Nikolaidis declared that EVERYONE SHALL WEAR PIPES tomorrow. It was then decided it’d be Pipes with no Panties.

I am a sucker for a proper corset or corset dress. The kind with stays and boning that would actually bind you into it like Miss Scarlet getting ready for the barbecue at Twelve Oaks. Continue reading
I did not know our blog was read by goblins, but it is. One of them even volunteered as guest stylist with all her goblin-ey goodness. So, gracing our pages again is the ungrinchified goblin Mae Tabak. According to the Uncyclopedia, Goblins like boggy areas so I thought it the fens at Zone might be a good place to shoot so we headed off to Zone where the giants walk. I figured if they got feisty, having a goblin around might be an asset. Mae was seasonally festive in a red and black dress from Sn@tch – the store where all the most discerning goblins shop. The textures are rich and the dress has those details that show care and imagination like the row of embellishment right under the bodice and the gracefully curving lines that flatter.
