Come On Let’s Go !

Come on Pixel Gidge, Let’s go out.

“No,” she answers. “YOU LEFT ME HERE! YOU PROMISED WE WOULD GO OUT AND WE DIDN’T GO OUT YOU LEFT ME HERE ALL NIGHT.”

Hey, I changed your clothes and hair, and I did your nails. I even moved your bed in off the water, what’s wrong? Don’t you want to get out today? 

“You left me here,” she pouts. “YOU PROMISED TO COME BACK YESTERDAY!”

Her typist sighs, Yes I know but RL happened. But I’m here now. Don’t you want to go out and do something? Continue reading

That shirt

150812_011

That shirt! You know the one I mean. We all have one. The shirt we have owned since forever, that repeated washings and years of wear have softened the fabric to a perfect level of comfort. It is the adult equivalent of a blankie. A shirt that ends up in every load of laundry because after a hard day, we put it on the minute we get home, as though putting on a hug. We have forgotten to turn it inside out a few hundred times and the fabric is pilling and snags are visible here and there, but we don’t care. It is our favorite shirt and we will keep it until it falls apart on our body.

Whatever sizing and substance the fabric once held is gone. It conforms to our body like a second skin, a cozy, comfy, second skin that says “You’re good enough. You’re smart enough. And doggone it, people like you.” We have that shirt in our first lives, but now we can have it in our second as well, thanks to Vinyl’s Little Toast (sukoshitosuto) and any doubts whether this distress and well-worn look was not deliberate can be dispelled with a look at some of the other options on the texture hud.

Yup, that’s deliberate.

Same Damn Dress

150802_004
Gidge and I popped over to Nº21 because she had seen a dress in the EloquenceSL Shopping Guide she had to have. When I saw it, I had to have it too, so we decided to do a “Same Damn Thing” challenge, or in this case, Same Damn Dress. I love the same damn challenges because it gets at the heart of what makes fashion exciting and creative. We are all individuals who make decisions about styling so that even when we wear the same damn dress, we look different. So, if any of you want to style this same damn dress, post your links below for the giggles.

Strange Shadows and Ominous Portents

An early studio day has me questioning whether I need more coffee or what. My shadows have been wonked since about 7 am, with my shadows having shadows.  I’m not sure why, but I have decided to call it art and roll with it. I can remember when it was the case of “some had shadows and some had none”. Well now I have more shadows than you.

LOOK ON ME.

Just kidding, I don’t know what that is but hey, it’s not the worst thing that ever happened. Continue reading

Poolside Blogger and Other Misunderstandings

My friends Whimsy and Sasy collaborate each round of My Attic for something wonderful. They make photoboxes for bloggers, or great items with lovely poses and props for everyone. When they passed me their item for this round of My Attic, my poor eyes that are adjusting to contacts (monovision, what fresh hell is this?) read “Poolside Blogger and Friends” in the description as this was something for bloggers, and their friends.

“Oh nice, another photobox for bloggers YAY” my brain said.

It’s not. It’s a big ass pool. Continue reading

Because To Me It Should Be Fun And Joyous

Ignore that weird red thing in my pictures. What the hell is that? I don’t actually know and honestly – it’s irrelevant to what I’m on about today. I’m not fixing it, because there are three other things in this pic I’d change if I could and I’m also not gonna edit them.  Maybe it’s a ghost. An SL ghost. Yeah, that’s it. OK – back to what i AM on about.

So I’m sitting on three extra Tres Jolie Makeup bags. I’ve been wondering what I should do with them. I’m a big old school about Gacha. I love it. I remember the glee of running up and down the row at Albero pulling and just being giddy about whatever you got. I remember grabbing a bunch of random stuff and making blog posts. It was fun. It was joyous.

I feel that same glee with the Arcade. I LOVE pulling to complete sets, scouring yard sales for things I really want. The joy of the hunt SUCKS me in. I probably dropped more at Arcade this time than ever and NO REGRETS. It’s really one of my favorite things.

But I always get, I dunno, a bit of a twinge when I see rares out for sale insanely over priced. I mean, I guess sure if you can get it. But it doesn’t feel right to me. So I’ve been thinking since I had these and they’re lovely I wanted to do something with them and I didn’t know what.

Then this morning after being annoyed with someone and their behavior a lovely idea came to me. I’m going to give them away. Continue reading

Livin’ In A Bloggers Paradise…

Bloggers are notoriously messy creatures. Catch us outside the pages of our blogs and we’ve got on pieces of six outfits and no alpha layers. It’s true. No shoes, mismatched earrings, no hands – this is how we run around the grid, stopping to catch perfect moments only when we’re shooting.

It’s sort of hilarious.

Our bedrooms, if decorated realistically, would be no different.

It Begins – ARCADE June 2015 is 48 Hours Away…

Arcade June 2015 has once again proven to me that the creators at The Arcade KNOW me.  They really really know me. They know I’m messy. They know I have too much make up and I’m not ashamed. They know, I have a lot of little bottles of things sitting around. And they love me for it.

I’m pausing as I absorb the amazing things available this round and trying to decide if I need to move house or how many more little things I can possibly shove into my house. I have to remodel my bath. That’s just got to happen.

What are your faves this round? I’m so excited, I can’t wait to bring you more, this is an amazing round. Get your clicking arm ready – there are lovely things to make your SL story even more your own.

My story is that of a blogger with too much stuff. They know me, they know me so well.

Arcade opens JUNE 1 – GET READY.

A Puzzling Sunday

I’m having a lazy Sunday morning here in SL. I’ve been tied up in the RL and poor Gidge has been wearing the same shoes for a week. This is almost a tragedy except that they are adorable shoes from House of Hucci at this month’s Collabor88 and therefore, tragedy is averted. Continue reading

New, Not Improved

150511_004

Do you know what would make me happy? If Flickr went back to the way it used to be – back before Yahoo purchased it and started to make it more and more like Tumblr. I want to hit a next button and wait for a new page. I do not want infinite scrolling. I hate infinite scrolling. It gets laggy and slow after a few page downs. If I click on a picture to see it, when I go back, I go back to the top, not to where I was. Does anyone know some secret way to have the old Flickr? I used to avoid it by using Flickr in Spanish, but they updated the Spanish version to their new horrible system, too. Now they have “improved” it again and it’s beyond irritating. Why do services that people like and use think they need to completely upend their design? When it’s working and popular, why change it?

Into the Light is the theme for this month’s Collabor88. If you love romantic pastels, this is the month for you. Among the highlights are the fabulous top from StoriesYCo by Flowey and this skirt from Tres Blah. The top comes with matching flirty shorts and the skirt comes with coordinating cropped sweatshirts. However, since Collabor88 designers work with a common color palette and theme, it seems that the point is finding new combinations as well. The beautiful quill incense burner is from {anc} and is also from Collabor88. The tea set with books is from dust bunny and was in the March Arcade session.
