Our friends, associations, and experiences help shape us and create our likes, dislikes and contribute to the sum of us as people. When I learned to take pictures for this blog, it was after more than a year of Cajsa taking all of my photos. Looking at her style, the angles she used, the lighting, formed my own opinions on what was good, on what I liked – regardless of if I was even aware of it. Continue reading
The club where I DJ was in the Destination Guide today and many newbies dropped in. It was fun to see them running about to the right, left and all around. Most of them were too busy rushing to stop and chat but a few did. Most wanted to know if Second Life was addictive. I sure think it is, if they get past the confusion that we all face at first and begin making friends. It’s the people, the friends, that make SL addictive. Two of the people I met my first week in SL are still my two best friends in SL – so I hope they have as wonderful luck as I did.
And I hope they also find the joy of exploration – going to sims to see what can be seen. I went to this Japan Garden sim yesterday – a beautiful place of peace and harmony. It seemed a good choice for showing off this gown from Azul. It’s the design from Mami Jewell of Azul for Miss Virtual World Japan. It comes in 8 gorgeous color options, but I chose this one for the bold cerise and bordeaux combination.
It’s true, all that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it is bronze, silver or platinum. And sometimes it is a bit of all at once as in this gorgeous top from Fashionably Dead. The peplum top is available at Collabor88 where the theme this month seems to be proving that glitter comes in every color. I dressed it up with the bottom of the Kamille dress from Countdown. One of the advantages of combining mesh with system layers, as Countdown has, is the ability to mix and match which makes me happy.

It was a busy day at the office yesterday. My To Do list was a mile long and I don’t think it got any shorter by the end of my day. Fortunately, Cajsa has put up a lovely new office at Glookbone so at least if I have to sort through the work part of my SL I have a pretty place to do it. Continue reading
In the middle of the night I found myself wandering a landscape of grey and black. There were no candy apples for sale, despite the sign. OMG – This could mean only one thing – NIGHTMARE. Continue reading
I woke up early to go and see the sunrise and hopefully get some pretty pics for my walls at the new place. It was gorgeous outside, with lots of wildlife and the fresh air so early in the morning was so bracing but refreshing.
I sat on the beach and watched giant turtles swim and frogs bounce across the landscape. I am really glad I decided to spend my weekend here, it’s a great place for a busy pixel girl to relax and enjoy some pretend nature.
As the sun climbed higher I ventured out to the rocks and found this poorly landed plane. The scenery here is fun and quirky, I admit I am glad I came. I need to make someone come with me next time.
I can’t play checkers by myself!

Becoming a premium member of the Grid is a bit like a time share opportunity. They have these “premium” destinations you can hop off to, for merriment and festivity. Since I’ve always wanted to see what they were like, I decided to pack Sophie off to Auntie Inventory for the weekend (she loves it there, Aunty Inventory has EVERYTHING) and spend a weekend at The River seeing what all this is.
Some trashy books for reading and comfy clothes – and I was off! Continue reading
My busy Friday started with going over to our new office at Glookbone to check out the studios and the build. Cajsa picked up one of the more lovely buildings at Scarlet Creative for our new office, it’s got great windows for pics so I couldn’t resist firing one off. Love the lights through the blinds.

I love all the cold and bracing winds of this time of year. I was taunted last night by the Weather Channel with promises of snow. There is no snow. I should not be surprised, living in RL in the land of cotton (old times there are not forgotten) but I was hoping for a white dusting at the least. Continue reading
Mijn Boutiques cat sweater seems made for me – the caretaker and servant of a black and white cat named Oscar.
My mom liked to say that everything you do should be done with love. It is one reason why I am so fond of the With Love Hunt an annual event that asks all of us to act with love. Creators are asked to create with love – making wonderful items that they will offer at a fraction of their worth. Bloggers are asked to blog with love and integrity, without giving away anything more than approved hints. Hunters are asked to hunt with love, without complaints about the nomimal 10 linden price or hard-to-find items. We may not all succeed, but we are asked to try.
This sweater from Mijn was certainly made with love, love for cats, for whimsy, for fun. And it came to my attention with love when a blog reader, knowing my fondness for Oscar, alerted me to this Oscarish cat. And yes, I am blogging it with love, love for my ridiculously entertaining cat and the fey spirit that creates such a fun sweater for me to enjoy and the diligent event coordinator who uses her skills to build community.
