C’mon, I need a rematch

https://C'mon, I need a rematch

One of my favorite activities in SL (along with shopping and dancing) is to play games.  All types of games — cards, board games, you name it.  Come to think of it, it’s one of my favorite things IRL too lol, although I admittedly am not a good pool player, I still have fun.  Not doing something well doesn’t usually stand in my way of at least trying to hold my own, since I know that you never improve at anything unless you keep on slugging away at it! I am, however, a much better shopper lol, which is why I enjoy blogging so much… it’s the best excuse for shopping! Speaking of which, I’m off to do my weekend shopping! Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Sienna Set.   Now that winter is receding & spring is on the way (at least here in SL, RL is quite a bit behind depending on where you live!), an outfit like this is absolutely perfect!  A stunning deep V-neck light-weight long-sleeve sweater paired with a belted pair of wide-leg pants, this outfit is totally figure-enhancing (my partner even commented on it).  Each piece is available in 14 single colors, as a fatpack, or as part of a megapack with both fatpacks included. (Single colors come with a HUD to change buckle, belt & buttons; fatpacks contain a HUD with all colors plus a color picker to let you customize all colors to the exact tone you want.) ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Sienna is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Momma, & Nhumana  (see the ad below).   EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Dubai, open Feb 20th – March 15th; demo available.

OK, so I’m a crazy cat lady!

https://OK, so I'm a crazy cat lady!

I’m a bit late in posting this (the event closes tomorrow), but I’ve had a really rough few days.  Here I am, planning to shoot this adorable kitty-cat outfit when my own kitty, suddenly out of the blue, stopped eating,  and crawled into a corner he’d never ever been in.  A few hours later (about 1A) he started screaming and writhing intermittently, reminding me of when I passed a kidney stone a few months back.  Sadly, the urgent vet care near me closes at 11P, so all I could do was lie there on the floor with him, stroking him, talking softly, and just being there.  Eventually I fell asleep for about an hour, and when I woke, he was gone.  It was a hard death because it was obviously so painful, and I was so distressed my body went right into some kind of stomach reaction (food poisoning maybe?).  Bottom line, blogging was just not the priority.  But I’m back, missing my Rudy (see him below), and posting this shot in honor of my boy…

  • Outfit:  AnaStyleKiraraa Kitty 1.  An awesome look for all cat lovers, Kiraraa includes a high-necked mini sweaterdress with matching BOM panty, gloves with thumbholes, & glorious thigh-high boots with zippers up the back (see the Ad below for a more vertical shot).  The dress is available in 12 different patterns (only 3 others are cats!) or a fatpack, & is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Maitreya+Lara+LaraX+Petite, Star, Kupra & NHumana.  Sold separately, the gloves & boots both come in black or pink, & the panties are only in pink.  Kiraraa is featured at the February Round of Designer Showcase, which closes tomorrow Feb 20th.  Demo available.

Love is in the air

https://Love is in the air

I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day.  It just seems to be one of those overly commercialized days, creating a desperate “need” to both give and receive cards, flowers, candy, jewelry, etc.  How many tears have been shed over the lack of having a Valentine? I know how many I personally shed when I was a teenager and young adult.  So no, I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day.  But love?  I’m definitely a romantic at heart, I just don’t believe that it has to be so regimented…. loving and being in love (which really are two separate things) should be natural and personalized, demonstrated in small and meaningful ways ALL the time, not just on Feb 14th with “surface” expressions.  But still, Valentine’s Day deserves an acknowledgement, and hopefully it reminds us all of the importance of love in this world that is increasingly hard.   Love is all around us, all the time, even if it’s not right there, shouting, like it is on this specific day.  Happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  BlondeQueen – Amorette.  A perfect way to show that love is in your heart, and not just on this one day a year… A sexy plunge-necked knit sweater with a bit of a roll to “crop” the front just the right amount, featuring a heart texture perfect for Valentine’s (or any time you want to wear your heart out not just on your sleeve!), paired with a buttoned mini-skirt & thigh-high boots.  Each piece is sold separately, with a choice of 9 colorways for each piece, or as a fatpack. She is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky, & Maitreya+LaraX+XPetite (see the ad below), & is featured at the February Round of Designer Showcase, open Feb 5th – 20th.  Demo available.

Trapped in my nest…

https://Trapped in my nest

Well, I woke up this morning to bright sunshine and it’s going to be warm enough for capris if not shorts, but until yesterday/today we’ve been hunkered down in the cold even way down here in the Sunshine state.   Before moving here, I was up in NY where they’ve been just buried in snow and freezing cold temps.  Since I hate the cold (hence the move to Florida!), when the weather deteriorated to that stage I‘ve always had a dual sense of being safe in my nest but also trapped in it … yes I have SL, and I read a lot, etc., but staring out the window and feeling that inability to just go for a walk etc., well, to me it’s right up there with the COVID outbreak in terms of going stir-crazy!  Thankfully, the weather has cleared where I live, so I’m free to go run around and shop and explore… just as in SL!!!!

  • Top:  GHEE – Philla Sweater.  Superb styling in a big over-sized cold shoulder minicowl-neck winter sweater.  Relaxed fit just screams comfort!  Available in 9 different patterns or a fatpack (see the Ad below for one more in addition to what I’m wearing), plus a special heart version (6 patterns or a fatpack), Philla is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Maitreya+LaraX+Petite, Star, Kupra & Erika, & is featured at the February Round of Designer Showcase, open Feb 5th – 20th.  Demo available.
  • Jeans:  Le’La – Chandra Jeans.  High-waisted skinny-leg jeans with an optional pocket chain that adds that distinguishing touch.  What’s more, Chandra includes a 40-texture HUD (see the Ad below) & is sized for Reborn, Legacy, GenX Classic+Curvy, Maitreya+LaraX, Kupra & Erika.  She is available at the February Round of Designer Showcase, open Feb 5th – 20th.  Demo available.
