Cajsa already hit you with the details but I’m here again to remind you that the FORMAX event is still happening and this is an opportunity to bring the love to one of our residents who’s been creating and making our Second Lives more beautiful for years. Continue reading
First things first, Strawberry Singh wrote an important post about an ongoing fraud happening in SL right now. You should read it to best protect your own account. Of course, a good rule of thumb is not to execute or agree to anything from objects given to you by strangers. While it’s not true that you can never cheat an honest person, it is true that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
So autumn is here. Here in Oregon, it’s raining, bringing sweet relief from the heat and let us hope, from the fires that are destroying so much habitat in the Pacific Northwest and California. Here in SL, though, there are no fires and the rain is holding off for another day. However, the state fairs are all over and all the 4Hers have their ribbons and are back in school. Fruits are being harvested and canneries are running around the clock. For me, though, lounging by the barn is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Schadenfreude’s black squirrel is much more industrious, picking up a small pumpkin to store away.

Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with earth,
Next to nothing for color.
Next to nothing for use.
But a crop is a crop,
And who’s to say where
The harvest shall stop? …Robert Frost

My favorite farmer’s market in Portland is on the South Park Blocks. I love walking on the grass under the cool, shady trees. There’s something so much fresher and vibrant about that setting than the many other markets set up in concrete parking lots under the hot sun. There was one right next to my old apartment, less than a block away, and I still preferred the wonderful shady, tree-sheltered market downtown. Folks in Second Life® can put their markets anywhere they like, so I chose a grassy spot with trees.
My dress is from Bomshire – a new to me store. It is a dress with a simple black top and a vibrant print skirt. I simply love it.

Codie and I have decided that the only way to afford our ARCADE addictions is to get proper jobs. Standing all day in a hot food truck pays better than you might think. And we get all the fancy coffee drinks we want.
Now if I could get Codie to help out. That girl is lazy. I told her not to wear stockings and heels in here!
It’s worth it though! ARCADE IS HERE YAAAAY !!
Gidge and Codie are Wearing:
Kimonos: Pixicat – The ARCADE
Hair: Truth – Sakura – The Arcade
Food Truck: THEOSOPHY – THE ARCADE
There are some things in SL that just strike my fancy. The dress form is one of them. I love dress forms. I love that creators are whimsical enough to create dress forms. This month has seen an abundance of them. Allegory Malaprop of Schadenfreude and Julliette Westerburg of Tres Blah both released dress forms as part of their Arcade Gacha items. Sienia Trevellion of Lark also released a lovely dress form and I pulled an older version that I’m particularly fond of out of my inventory, one by Theosophy’s Trace Osterham.
One of the best things about moving into my houseboat has been redecorating and making the empty shell my own. I’ve been kitchen shopping but living on a boat, I find that space is a huge consideration and I just can’t throw in much of the furniture pieces I like because I don’t have space. BUT PRAISE SWEET LITTLE BABY JESUS Lisp Bazaar has the best kitchen on the planet AND it has a nautical theme, for sale at Collabor88. Continue reading
It occurred to me recently that since I am no longer land locked on mainland, I should not only spend time looking at the water, but actually in the water since that was a huge part of my attraction for moving.
So last night I opened my deck doors and jumped into the lagoon for no other reason than I could. Continue reading
When I opened this dress from She’s So Unusual at the beginning of the week, my first thought was “What a hoot. I’m totally blogging this dress.” I had visions of a beach and a quickie shoot because, it’s a flip flop dress. It’s funny and I hear there is a commercial with a similar dress.
This dress is one of the things I like about SL fashion. You don’t NEED it. My entire RL wardrobe is filled with things I needed. Things which are functional and serviceable. Thus – things like flip flop dresses totally press my buttons in SL. Continue reading
