Dangerous Curves Ahead

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Dangerous Curves Ahead

The longer I’m in Second Life (and I’ve been here a loooong time), the more I realize that I’m a bit of a prude by SL standards.  Yes, I wear plenty of sexy styles and love to flaunt my stuff, but there’s a lot of clothing out there that I just won’t wear because IMHO, it just goes too far to be stylish.  Sure it’s just pixels, or maybe it’s BECAUSE I’ve been Ceja for so long now; all I know is that she is still me and I just wouldn’t feel comfortable putting it all on display.  (It’s also why I don’t do any nude or topless shots on FlickR; just a personal thing.) The point is that every once in a while, I find an outfit that skates dangerously close to that line but is just so cute, with some element of style that I adore, that I’m completely won over.  This is definitely one of those outfits… the addition of the lace joining the teeny top and bottom, with those two little straps turns this little number from an “oh no” to an “oh wow” in my book… and if you’ve got ANY curves, this dress will signal them to the world!!!  😉

  • Dress:  Graffitiwear – Curvilicious.  If you’ve got curves, this little dress (& I do mean “little”) will definitely show them off.  Ten styles available in the fatpack, three options individually at 99L each, all with these relatively tiny bands of fabric joined by fabulous lace on one side plus two skinny horizontal waist straps.  Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, & Maitreya.  EXCLUSIVE at the Designer Circle 15/19 July 28th – August 10th.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Evadine, based on Genus Omega, worn in Cashew (browless) on my Tonic mesh head.  Lightly freckled, totally gorgeous.  Best of all? FATPACKS of light or dark skin tones are on sale for just 250L each at the Designer Circle 15/19 July 28th – August 10th.  Shape & demos also available.
  • Head: Tonic – Coco, one of the two NEW bento heads from Tonic; fully mod & Omega-ready so you can easily customize her to make her look all your own
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!
  • Hair:  Analog Dog – Gia
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Eyes:  IKON – Triumph
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega);  DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Nails:  Livia – Sail Blue (May 2016 Group Gift)
  • Jewelry: Maxi Gossamer – Ayla Moon Goddess Earrings; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Bed:  Generation X – Kymani Bedroom Set (see yesterday’s blog post); EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running through August 15th.
  • Cat:  Image Essentials Props and Poses – Full Perm Mesh Cats.  EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running through August 15th.

A Blogger’s Dream

Posted on by cejalaval

http://A Blogger's Dream

One of the reasons I love blogging for the Boardwalk Event is that I see — and get to “play” with — so much cool home decor and what I’ll call “blogger necessities.”  My eye — and heart — was immediately struck by both these items.  In fact, I grabbed the Photo Studio Skybox the instant I saw it , set it up immediately, and see tons of future use for it…  But it’s one of those items that’s just not easy to blog… until I realized how perfect this bedroom set was, and how well they worked together.  No, I’m not giving up my house and moving in, but I think this gives an idea of the versatility of BOTH of these pieces.  I know that I already have plans for both lol!  😉

Generation X – Kymani Bedroom Set.  As I said above, I just love this set, & not just because my home has a southwestern flair to it.  As you can see, here I’m using it in a contemporary brick skybox, & it looks like it totally belongs.  The full set includes the bed (available in two shades; PG or Adult), bull head, side table, fur rug, hanging lamps (which turn on/off), chair, vase/books, elephant ear plant, & floor baskets.  Or, if you prefer, you can buy any or all of these items individually. Everything is copy/mod so you can arrange however works best for you & your room setting.  EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running through August 15th.

Z.O.E. – Urban Studio Skybox.  A photographer’s dream come true, this skybox is one of those things that I didn’t know I needed until I saw it.  Unbelievably awesome! First of all, it has that contemporary urban brick, which I just adore, with a high ceiling & plenty of space.  Plus it’s REALLY low-prim — only 10 LI, for a box that’s 12x24x12.  But what makes this skybox truly unique is that the very urban-style staircase leads to an upstairs loft… yes, I could have put the bedroom up there, & if I was using it for a living space, perhaps I would have done that, but instead I’ve copied the Z.O.E. demo & used that space for the Hanging Photo Backdrop to set up my own photo studio.  (I mean I AM a blogger after all lol!)  Other finishing touches I used on the skybox are the Upright Track Lighting (with a touch menu for 11 shade options) & the Pipes Chandelier (also with 11 color options on touch).  All these items are EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running through August 15th.

Packing a little extra booty

http://Packing a little extra booty

So I’ve been prattling on and on about needing a vacation for a long time now, but tada!!! It’s finally booked!  I can hardly wait! It’s not till mid-September, but it was a pretty complicated three-city deal to set up, so that was the earliest I could pull off with any kind of economy.  Why three cities? Well first we drive to Philadelphia to leave our dog with our son, which means one night in a hotel there. Then we fly to Florida to look into moving a year or two or three down the road; then we’re driving over to a beach resort to just veg and relax before heading back to Philadelphia for a last night, some time with our son, and then back to NY with our dog in tow!  Lots of coordination with reservations and checking alternate routes and ways of doing things, but I got it done in one very long day.  Of course, now comes the hardest part… WAITING.  I wish we were leaving this week lol, but oh I love the anticipation… it will keep me going for all these weeks!!!!  And what does all this have to do with “packing a little extra booty”?  Because now I’m thinking how nice it would be if my clothes in RL were anywhere near as lovely as my clothes here in SL (like this GORGEOUS suit/cover up), not to mention my body lol!  Then I’d be TOTALLY happy!!!!  😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – Andi Swimsuit & Cover Up.  Andi is a stunning one-piece suit with open lacing up the front, but from the back!!! Wow, it’s the barest of thongs that flaunts whatever it is you’ve got to show!  On top of that, the cover up has just the perfect amount of sheer.  Andi includes ORIGINAL TEXTURES in separate 10-texture HUDS for the swimsuit, the cover up, & the included sandals so you can match fully or coordinate, however you want.  Sizes available for Tonic, Slink, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya & Classic.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Mirabelle, worn in the beautifully tan Maple tone (browless).  Based on Genus, I’m wearing her on a Tonic mesh head. I’m not wearing ANY makeup with Mirabelle; she comes with this beautiful shading around the eyes & blush on the cheeks… absolutely gorgeous, whatever tone you pick from the fatpacks of dark or light tones available EXCLUSIVELY at the Sense Event through August 8th.  Shape & demos also available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control (although I wear it all the time, it REALLY comes into play when you wear something like this; customizable to how much extra “up” & “out” you want, it’s awesome if you like to pack a little extra booty)… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!
  • Head: Tonic – Coco, one of the two NEW bento heads from Tonic; fully mod & Omega-ready so you can easily customize her to make her look all your own
  • Hair:  BESOM – Maddy

No Dogs Allowed !?! How DARE they?

Posted on by cejalaval

http://No Dogs Allowed?!? How DARE They!

So anyone who reads my blog or watches my FlickR knows that I’m a crazy cat lady.  But actually I’m also a dog person.  In fact, in real life I currently have one dog (the best dog in the world!), two cats, and two parakeets… I’d love to have more, but since I also want to travel more, this is where we’re drawing the line.  But as much as I love my dog and  just dogs in general, it does make me a bit crazy how some people think that THEIR dog should be allowed to go everywhere they go… stores, restaurants, trains, airplanes, you name it.  Granted, my dog is 50 lbs+ and many of “those people” have little dogs, but let’s face it… little dogs tend to be rather yappy and therefore not the best in enclosed social venues.  To put it mildly, I’m just not a fan of that behavior.  However, here on the grid? Different story! I totally fell in love with this bag/dog combo… the little dog is animesh,  just absolutely adorable, and both the bag AND the dog have several texture options so it’s even fashionable enough for a blogger like me!  Still, when I took him shopping with me, the store said “No way!” (the way I wish more would in RL!)  All I can say is that’s the last of MY hard-earned lindens they’ll see lol!!!  😉

  • Top:  MOZ Designs – NEW! “Leana” Cold Shoulder Top.   LOVE this soft feminine top, which can really be worn year-round.  Cold shoulder, straps,  edging around the top & bottom, semi-sheer bottom sleeves, a bit cropped.  Comes in a two individual patterns & three solids, or choose one of the 3 fatpacks for many more texture options . Original Fitmesh for Tonic, Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, & eBody mesh bodies.  EXCLUSIVE at the July eBento through the end of the month. Demo available.  (Skirt is also from MOZ Designs – Renata with Ranger Belt)
  • Backdrop:  CEBO Buildings – “Ladies Candystore”.  Looks amazing as is (see below), but the backdrop is completely MOD so you can edit every single item if you choose!  Every blogger’s & photographer’s dream!  EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running July 15th – August 15th.
  • Head:  Akeruka (AK) – Cleo, one of the new deluxe bento heads from AK
  • Skin:  theSkinnery – Giulia (Freckled version), NEW & EXCLUSIVE until August 8th at the Access Event
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!

People Watching

Posted on by cejalaval

http://People Watching

I’ll admit it, I’m a people-watcher.  I always have been.  Some of my fondest memories growing up in Manhattan (yes, I’m one of THOSE), is just sitting somewhere like the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, withor without my best friend, coffee in hand, and watching the world go by.  In the bad weather, the venue changed to a coffee shop window (yes, there were coffee shops back then!!), but the activity remained the same.  A lot has changed in my life since those days, but I still love to sit and watch, everywhere I go.  Do I judge? Absolutely.  Do I get inspiration and ideas?  Definitely.   But let’s face it… one of the best places for pure people watching enjoyment is on the beach… hunk watching is just SOOOO much fun!!!  The whales, the fails, and everything inbetween!!!  Oooh la la, that one’s definitely caught my eye!  😉

  • Outfit:  Tonic – I Love Summer Bundle, which includes the “I Love Summer” bodysuit that comes in 24 fun fabrics & the “Stressy” shorts, which come in 16 distressed denim colors.  Exclusively for the Tonic mesh bodies (Curvy & Fine), & EXCLUSIVELY available at the Curves Event through July 24th, so HURRY! But even if you miss the event, don’t let those curves go to waste! This awesome outfit will move to the mainstore…

Change of Weather Coming In

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Time to Go, Weather's Changing

Well, the last several days have been absolutely miserable weatherwise here in the northeast US in RL… hot, humid, oppressive to the point of high heat warnings (well over 100 degrees with the heat index)… but the weather seems to be breaking even as I type, with storm clouds moving in and the temperatures finally, FINALLY!, beginning to drop.  It was so hot, we had to actually cancel our previous plans as I had mentioned, and yes, we went to the movies where a lovely time was had by all, as we stayed cool and gorged ourselves on buttered popcorn… mmmmm good!  Still wondering what’s happened to all my RL summer activities, but now that I’ve seen a summer movie, I at least feel like summer has begun!!!!  No such problems here in SL, where it’s been nonstop summer action and fun… though it looks like change is on the horizon, and it’s time to pack up and go home, at least for a little while!  😉

  • Top:  WellMade – Gabrina Top, a totally new take on denim!  It almost looks like the top part of a pair of jeans, reborn as a sexy tube top, unzipped, with the belt open, finished with a wide ruffle on the bottom.  Dips down in the back for an absolutely incredible shape. Includes a 21-color HUD of various denim tones for the top, plus 21 colors for the ruffle, & 21 for the belt.  Belt &/or ruffle can be hidden as well. Sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, eBody Curvy, Jomo T/F/W & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 14/19 July 7th – 27th.  Demo available.

Just Sitting

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Just Sitting

Maybe it’s because it’s a guy’s post, but for some reason, I’m just out of words for this blog. Unusual for me, to say the least. Maybe it’s because the heat has just crushed them all out of me. Maybe it’s because it’s Saturday morning and I stayed up way too late inworld last night playing cards & dancing. Who knows? Either way, everything in the pic really speaks for itself… so I’m just going to keep on sitting here, enjoying the breeze from the water, thinking & watching the world go by… 😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – Evan Shorts Set.  What really sets this outfit apart is that the alternating panels on the top — the light ones — are somewhat sheer so you can see a bit of what lies beneath.  It really adds a bit of oomph without going overboard.  Evan also comes with beach shoes (slip ons that are open in the back) that are just really versatile for all those summer outfits when sandals aren’t enough but even sneakers are just too much.  Evan comes with separate 10-color HUDS for the top & shorts; wear matching tones together or mix ’em up anyway you want.  Sizes available for Slink, Adam, Aesthetic, Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, TMP & Classic.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Hakon, worn in Earth, has a great combination of bad boy & clean cut looks all rolled into one.  Worn with the Hairy version of the body skin, which you see at the top of the shirt & just enough of it through the mesh.  In other words, damn sexy.
  • Seating:  Dawn Home Furnishings & Decor – Alpine Seating Set.   Lovely, relatively simple set, just perfect for that setting that needs something but not too much.  Includes the armchair & the couch, both with single & couple animations. EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running July 15th – August 15th.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Head: Akeruka (AK) – Clay, the latest deluxe bento head from Akeruka
  • Eyes:  IKON – Odyssey

Endless Summer

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Endless Summerhttp://Beach Babe

Wow, hard to believe we’re more than halfway through July already. I haven’t been to the beach once, or really done anything that says “SUMMER” other than use a lot of air conditioning and try to stay cool.  In fact, it’s going to be so ridiculously hot this weekend that our outdoor plans were actually cancelled; instead, we’re considering going to the movies of all things.  Shakes my head sadly at what my world is coming too… oh well, at least here in SL I’m on the beach all the time, having fun, boating and so much more… truly an endless summer… and I don’t even have to worry about sunburn!!!!  Beach baby, go go go!!! 😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Emerald Couture – July Beach Outfit.  Includes the bikini & the beach dress, plus a HUD that lets you choose from 10 textures for the bikini top, the bikini top string, the bikini thong, the beach dress, & the beach dress fringe.

Sized for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya.  Also comes in Standard sizes.  A We Love to Blog designer.
  • Jewelry:  IT! (Indulge Temptation) – Aurora Earrings. 100% unrigged resizable mesh jewelry, materials enabled, HUD driven; available in 13 different variations or as a fatpack. (I’m wearing version 1.)  All 13 packages discounted at 60L in the MP and store.  A We Love to Blog designer.

Whale-watching

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Whale-Watching

Have you ever seen a whale in the wild? It’s always been one of my dreams, but I’ve yet to have the opportunity.  I’ve seen plenty of dolphins, I’ve even swum with them, and I’ve seen orcas at places like SeaWorld, but someday I really want to see whales where they belong, roaming free in the sea.  I don’t want to get TOO close and personal, mind you, just enough where the experience is imprinted on my mind forever.  If I could hear the song of the humpback whale (other than on a record, which is extremely unlikely to say the least), that would just be the most amazing icing on the cake.  Until then, I guess I’ll have to settle for the sealife here in SL… I even have my own personal orca, roaming just off my land… sometimes I think he’s just teasing me lol, reminding me that I still haven’t seen the real thing.  Who knows, maybe this is the year?  I’ve even just completed my own whale-watching platform, so I can wait and watch in comfort and style.  Whale ho!  😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Dallas MacKenzie Designs – Emily Shorts & Top is definitely NOT your run-of-the-mill shorts set.  The top has a beautifully easy flowy feel to it; it’s deep cut but in an open airy way, attaching to a band that wraps & ties in back in a bow.  The HUD for the top — which has both this pattern in 8 colors & 25 solids — lets you choose separately for the top & the bow.  And the shorts!  They have an attached apron plus a waistband with another bow. Absolutely adorable! The bottom HUD lets you choose between 25 colors separately for the shorts, the apron, the waistband, & the bow.  Make everything match, or mix it all up; it’s up to you. Sized for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 14/19 July 7th – 27th. Demo available.
  • Head:  Akeruka (AK) – Cleo, one of the new deluxe bento heads from AK

Both the pergola & the planters have three different wood options (on the planters, you can also change the lattice); the patio floor also has multiple texture choices for full customization to your setting & your taste.  Buy as a set, or buy separately.  EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running July 15th – August 15th.
  • Park Place Home – Coral Reef Hanging Chair/Coral Shell Floor Pillows.  The chair has a gentle side swing rotation; the set includes two different sets of pillows & a pot of colorful hydrangea on a copper table.  Both the chair & the pillows are stuffed with animations for singles (male & female) & cuddles.  EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running July 15th – August 15th.

July Boardwalk – Serendipitous Purrfection!

Posted on by cejalaval

http://July Boardwalk - Serendipitous Purrfection

The July Boardwalk has opened, and I have to say, it definitely looks to be an awesome round.  In fact, when I first saw these two items, I virtually leapt out of my chair in excitement!  Serendipity Designs is an old favorite of mine that went dormant for a while. But it’s back, and this living room set is absolutely GORGEOUS.  The fact that I live in a log home with a southwestern theme makes it perfect for me personally too (which is why it’s mixed in with some of my own things in my own home), but I’d say it’s a great addition for just about any non-beach-themed home.  And anyone who follows my blog knows I’m a crazy cat lady… my KittyCatS are not always the most cooperative when it comes to photography and I don’t like putting them in image mode because for some reason they tend to get stuck (I think intentionally to punish me for not letting them run around!), so these cats from ImageEssentials are (prepare yourself!) truly the cat’s meow!!!  Both items are EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event which opens today July 15th and runs through August 15th.   😉

Serendipity Designs – Cimmaron Living Room Suite.  In case I haven’t been clear, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this set, to the point where I’ve already tossed my old living room into inventory & incorporated this instead into my own house.  You can buy it as a complete set, or individual pieces; they’re all EXCLUSIVE (& all copy, so if you have room for two couches or want 4 lamps, etc. you can!) at Boardwalk.  Here’s what’s included in the set (everything shown in the picture, except as noted):

  • Sofa, which includes 658 animations — single (male & female) & couple (MF, FF, & MM; cuddles, D/S sits, & XXX)
  • Navajo Rug
  • Coffee Table
  • Console Table
  • Table Lamp (switches on & off; shown on the console table, see closeup #1 below)
  • Dapple Friends (the white horses shown on the console table, see closeup #1 below)
  • Foal Friends (the brown horses on the console table, see closeup #1 below)
  • Stallion Wall Art
  • Gecko Succulents (shown on the coffee table, see closeup #2 below)
  • Draperies
  • Decorative Branches (with lights)
  • Ceiling (not shown)
  • Window (not shown)

Image Essentials Props and Poses – Full Perm Mesh Cats.  15 original mesh Cats available in 5 different textures (black, white, grey, ginger, & tiger) & a normal specular map. “Captured” in various poses — sleeping, jumping up, jumping down, licking, stretching, sitting rub, lying rub, & standing rub.  Each one is absolutely purr-fect (sorry, can’t help it lol) & sells for 125L; EXCLUSIVE  to Boardwalk for this round.  See closeups #2 & #3 below… the detail on these kitties is absolutely incredible!!!!
