Remembrance

140905_007

 

Versus Magazine did a lovely tribute to Squinternet Larnia that was released on the 4th, the one-year anniversary of her death. Tania Tebaldi who wrote and managed Squinternet’s blog for her wrote an essay that showed a different perspective on Squinternet than the one I knew. That’s one of the reasons people come together to mourn their loved ones – because we all know people through different lenses and in sharing our grief, we all get a fuller, rounder perception of the person.

If Loving Tres Blah Is Wrong…

…I don’t want to be right.

No one reaches into my head quite like Tres Blah’s ARCADE ITEMS to describe what I’d like to have exist in all of my lives.  Calm, beautiful pieces with style and taste, that reflect the sort of gorgeous things I would choose surround myself with.

Thus, in my Second LIfe, I do. Continue reading

Check’Em – For Squint – And For Yourself

Our Avatars will never get breast cancer. Our breasts and bodies will never be ravaged by disease of any sort. We have the luxury of being perfect every day, no matter what.

But our Avatars can remind our real selves of things that we want, things we can aspire to, and things that are IMPORTANT.

A very small thing is a monthly breast exam. Early detection is the key.  More women than I care to think of that I care about have endured this battle, and for some it did not end in their favor.

I’ve promised Cajsa I’d made something to promote Breast Self Exams for some time, but life gets in the way. Just like not checking your breast for lumps, life gets in the way, you forget to do it.

Today is the one year anniversary of the day that we lost a brillant creator, and a lovely friend, to cancer. Her journey began with breast cancer. I still miss her and her amazing wit, and her startling timeless designs.

You can pick up this pose for free, to help remind us all to take better care of ourselves in the RL at PRETENSE POSES on Juicy.

LET ME LOVE YOU

I am suffering from a late arrival home but not suffering so much I couldn’t squeeze my new kitty from THE ARCADE. Fat kitties and fat babies are two of my favorite things. Aisling released a host of fat kitties to hold or to set about and be your sweet companions, for THE ARCADE.

I love that you get a little HUD to change their eye color. That’s such a sweet little touch!

And now I’m going to crawl to the RL and anxiously await sleep tonight.

See you later my pretties!

There’s only a few designers with the confidence in their design aesthetic and creative skills to resist the tides of change while simultaneously surfing the waves. Monica Outlander is one of those artists. Her new MiaMai Black Label collection is the perfect exemplar of that duality of leading and trailing edge design.

What do I mean by that? Well, she is using appliers for Slink Mesh attachments to enhance her clothing. Meanwhile, she provides system layers for people who use the default avatar. She is using mesh in many creative ways. Meanwhile, she will use flexi-prims when they suit the design better. It is that flexibility that leads her to use whatever method best suits the design – not just the newest method, that shows confidence and commitment to her own vision.

ARCADE PREVIEW: Belleza #5 – Make It Your Own

The thing about skins is, none of us wants to look like the other one.  But for the awesome price of the ARCADE it’s hard to pass up a great skin like Emily. You can always opt to make some tweaks to the skin that make it more YOU, your signature look, than just the out of the box skin.  Three very small adjustments personalized this #5 version of Emily.

It’s 100 Degrees, Again

Whatever induced me to think a weekend in the trailer when it’s 100 degrees outside, I’ll never know. As it is I’m reduced to my undies and can barely move unless I have to. The humidity is so thick you could cut it, even with the sea breeze. Continue reading
