I’ve never been great at waiting. And yet it feels like more and more of my life is just that… waiting.  You’d think that I’d be better with age (ahem!), but I’ve actually become more impatient.  Shrugs… not much I can do about it, but look good while I wait…

Wow, time really has a way of disappearing doesn’t it? I have a tendency to get lost in books and just lose days, suddenly realizing that life has just kept going and deadlines are fast approaching.  Still, sometimes that’s what’s needed… to get lost in a story or in the music or just in life itself…

On a Greek isle…

https://On a Greek isle...

I’ve been lucky… I’ve been to Greece, but somehow I’ve never made it to Santorini.  And it’s such an iconic place… when I think of Greece, the image in my mind is one of white buildings, those blue accents on the roofs and doors, and that hot hot white light, some of which I’ve never seen.  And the fact is the way the world is going, I probably never will.  From what I’ve read, Santorini has been overrun with tourists BECAUSE it’s the quintessential Greece… and now all those earthquakes… sighs… well, the good news is that I can wander through the SL version of this magical island without the expense, the crowds, or even having to leave my chair! If only we could TP in RL!!!!

  • Dress:  I.M. Collection –Eden Cloth Dress. For me, the dress (especially in the yellow) just made me think of tropical climes, and images of Greece appeared in my mind… so that’s where we went!  Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya & LaraX, Eden includes a HUD of 6 solid cloth knit textures + 3 metallic textures for the optional star chain belt (see the ad below).  As the GRAND RE-OPENING SPECIAL to celebrate the new store, Eden can be yours for just $99L (matching shoes available)! Demo available.
