It’s been an exceptionally busy few days for me in SL. Although I’ve loved loved LOVED where we’ve been living, I’ve been so prim starved that (a) I couldn’t landscape/decorate the way I wanted, having to leave lots of empty space (tolerable outside, not so much indoors) and (b) I had to continually swap things out for similar items that were lower prim. When I needed to rez a backdrop or skybox or even a lot of H&G items for a shoot, I often needed to temporarily delete an entire room of furniture or a landscaped area, etc., and then put it back when done. The bottom line is that this was costing me way too much time, energy, & even money since I was replacing things I loved just to save a few prims here and there. So, we gave up our direct access to the Blake Sea, and moved to a new lot “back home” in the estate area where we lived for almost ten years before heading out for the sailable lands. Moving is time consuming… choosing which lot (this estate does a beautifully fantastic job of environmental landscaping) is stressful for a perfectionist like me, trying to find things in inventory when they’re named strangely (and you fail to write it down!) to rez in the new place is frustrating… looking for a new house to go with the feel of the new land is exhausting. I finally threw up my hands, put up a temporary house that I picked up at the weekend sales (fabulous house, just too small for me), and released the old lot since no one wants to pay for two lots at the same time. Very bittersweet… the challenge and excitement of creating something new, mixed with the bittersweet of letting something you love go. I definitely needed to check out the local bar scene and have a drink! Time to go collapse on the deck for a bit and just watch the sea… now where did I pack those chairs???
- Outfit: C.Y. Fashion – Dakota Fatpack, which includes the shirt, pants, & very high stilettos. I love the styling of this shirt… single sleeved, cropped with a slight looseness, cut-in neckline, with an artful use of texture with alternating sheer stripes at the neck and the lower part of the one sleeve. The pants are available not just in 5 different colors, but in three different fabrics… I just had to go for the metallic for that clubby look!
