Dream Logic

may24_004

My post title comes to you courtesy of Kerryth Tarantal. It’s a good choice because this dress from Sysy’s looks like a dream incarnate. While my family lived in the Northwoods of northern Minnesota, my sister lived in the Red River Valley where it’s so flat you can see the shore of Lake Agassiz from miles away as though it were some huge land formation. There’s even a viewpoint for drivers to pull over and marvel at this 8 foot “cliff” marking the shore. Lake Agassiz would be the largest lake in the world if it still existed – and that flat plain that is its former lakebed created a vast, flat plain of rich farmland. The thing is when an 8 foot lake edge is the most significant land mass for hundreds of miles, people tend to focus on the sky. And the vistas in the sky are amazing – the Northern Lights are definitely the Queen of the Sky Pageant, but Sky Blue Pink is First Runner Up. Sysy somehow managed to create a dress of Sky Blue Pink – that illusive color that we all know but struggle to define. I got the dress at Shoe Fair.

This set was shot at ImagiLearning Lowlands – one of the many gorgeous Imagilearning sims. The sky is a glorious Sky Blue Pink thanks to a windlight setting Gidge made and gave to me. You will have to hit her up for the NC of the setting.

Looking Good While Doing Good

mar18_019

I hope you spend some of this weekend at Fashion For Life and the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser. I know sometimes folks are reluctant to go because they think with so many people there will be a lot of lag. That has not been my experience. I hopped over to Bourke White last night to shoot these pictures and had no troubles with lag or rezzing even with my graphics cranked. I checked the map before going and went to the sim with the fewest people, but I don’t think any of the sims were full except, perhaps, Avalon, where there was a dance. Additionally, at Fashion For Life have incorporated many strategies to reduce lag to make your experience as enjoyable as possible.

Guest Stylist Amase Levasseur

Amase Levasseur_009.jpg

Amase Levasseur is another volunteer guest stylist. I met her when she came with her partner to get some pictures taken of them and she quickly became a favorite. She is one of those people who is enjoying SL to the fullest – and always willing to come for some fun times. Here’s what she had to say about the guest styling post, “Caj and Gidge among others have encouraged me to do some mixing and matching and playing with accessories to make outfits my own instead of just “off the rack” in both SL and RL. It’s much more fun now to figure out just the right mix to claim or own a look rather than it wearing me!”

Quick Look: I Gatcha

Poses from I Love Olive

posted by Gidge Uriza

Elusyve said I had to go to the Albero Gatcha Festival -and since she’s a fucking giant who might squashe me, I went.

She also said I had to wear everything I got immediately, which meant I was walking around wearing many boxes. I think this might’ve been some mean elf trick on her part.

But since I had never been to nor patronized any sort of gatcha, you know, like Ron Burgundy would say – WHEN IN ROME.

I can’t actually wear everything I got at once.

That just means there will be another post.

You lucky suckers………

There Aren't Enough Squeegees In The World

posted by Gidge Uriza

As a former resident of the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico I’ve watched in horror since the Deepwater Horizon exploded.  Were it not for the loss of life, both human and sea creatures, it’d be comic. With no plan and no quick resolution available, we have continued daily to watch the mess unfold and to listen on the radio to the communities of the Gulf beg us to please come spend our tourist dollars there.

There are jokes about the Exxon Valdez. I guess some day there will be jokes about this. I can’t imagine them, but they will exist. Maybe this all won’t seem so bad by then. I doubt it.

We lack the alchemy to reverse what has happened, and the science to swoop in and just STOP The leak. Continue reading

Water Baby

Astrologically, I am a fire sign – an Aries. But I have always been a water baby at heart – I grew up on a lake, spent untold hours canoeing miles of rivers in the NorthWoods and love the sounds of water. I have been blessed to hear the breaking up of the ice on the lake as the waves smash it into ever smaller shards on the shore – creating the sound of thousands of glass wind-chimes ringing as the shards clash against each other and the rocks on the shore. I love the sound of waves, the roaring of waterfalls and the lonely cries of loons resounding over the water. One of the joys of Second Life is replicating the sounds of my childhood – though I have yet to find anyone who has recorded the ice breaking up or the snap and growl of the ice in winter.

GoldBlooded

I adore the name of the bracelets and earrings I am wearing today. They are by Ganked for the Accessory Fair and are called Goldblooded – and with that blood orange color, they seriously could not have a more clever name if a panel of naming experts had been convened. I am wearing them with a dress from Sysy Chapman that I picked up at her RFL Clothing Fair booth that really shows off the jewelry. The necklace from the set was not such a good fit with this bodice, so I opted for one from Couture Tres Chapeau that almost becomes an extension of the dress.

It Started with Sysy's Scarf

posted by Gidge Uriza

I gotta admit I’m not a big scarf wearer. I find that they so often floop out unnaturally and just look bizarre – or cut into my hair or some other thing that annoys.

So when I dropped on this lovely scarf from Sysy’s – I was immediately in love with the comfortable way it lays on your shoulders. So – I had to make an outfit around it, now didn’t I?

A crushed velvet jacket from Sn@tch and suede pants also from there seemed the perfect winter accompaniment to this lovely knitted scarf. Ok I might not be too warm……..but I look cute. Continue reading

Never Drink Alone

posted by Gidge Uriza

I may be the only one that gets dressed and ready even when they have no plans. I wasn’t in a shopping mood, or an exploring mood, or an IMing old friends or people who are on my friends list and I don’t know who they are anymore……….Mood.

I was just in a sitting around mood. Weird, eh? Continue reading
