I think that’s enough candy canes!

https://I think that's enough candy canes

I love the holidays and look forward to them like everyone else, but I’m already reaching that saturation point where I just wish they were over already… the music is wonderful the first 20 or 30 times you hear it, singing and dancing a little along with it, but by the 500th time, it’s enough already!  I love the twinkly holiday decorations, especially ones done with style and taste, as opposed to haphazard quantity, but honestly, those blow-ups have just got to go! So many houses where I live have crowded blowup scenes going on, and honestly, it’s just so tacky.   That said, I try to avoid overload myself… I mean that one extra candy cane can just tip it over the edge lol! Happy holiday shopping!!!

Les baguettes

Posted on by admin

https://Les baguettes

When I first tried on this amazing outfit with this particular hair (both being at the same event), I was immediately hit with a strong sense of French style.  I even went so far as to dress my partner in what I consider French style, and greeted his rez-in with a “bon soir”…  for my blog shot, I envisioned strolling down a French boulevard or through a French market, baguettes in my arms, perhaps the Eiffel Tower in the background; just something very undeniably French, perhaps with a title along the lines of Je m’appelle Ceja Laval.  But SL was against me (not that unusual lol); I could get the baguettes, but not the French setting.  This, then, is where I netted out… and I do have to say, it may not be Paris, but the bread alone makes it French in spirit! Ooh la la!  😉

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Neve Dress & Leather Jacket.   What a perfect look for when it’s turning colder but not yet freezing, or (which is more likely given the icicles) when there’s that warm thawing day right after a snowy cold snap!  Sold separately, each piece is available in 14 single colors (which include a HUD to change the button/fur colors), as a fatpack with a color-picker included in its HUD so you can customize/tweak colors to your taste (which I did), or as a megapack with all options included. ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Neve is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell+Pushup, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Momma, & Nhumana.  (See the ad below) EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at a special event discount at the current round of Collabor88, open Nov 8th – Dec 6th.  Demo available.

Come on now, don’t be shy

https://Come on now, don't be shy

The wonder of playing fantasy in SL rarely fails to amaze me… it’s not just the clothes (though admittedly clothes like this are so exceptional, they definitely play a big part!) … it’s not just the wings (though again, that’s a large part of WHY I play as fae!)… it’s the mental side of the totally different characters I create.  Although I also love being human, and creating a variety of looks/attitudes/situations, it’s just not at the same level as the creative process of BEING a fantasy character.  Maybe I make too much of it, but creating and getting into character is just so much larger… a bit like an actor getting into her role though obviously not to the same depth or intensity…. But it definitely is addictive!!!  Enjoy! and don’t be shy about saying hello if I run into you when I’m flitting out and about!

  • Outfit:   Petrichor in collab w/ Ersch– Saneira.  I can never say enough about a P+E collaboration, & this one is no exception… just another stunning fantasy look.  Includes the dress & harness, in both long & short versions.  Sized for a whole range of bodies (see the ad below),  Saneira is available in 10 single colors, in any of 4 HUD-controlled 40-texture packs based on fabric, or as a Megapack with all options included.  AVAILABLE at the mainstore.  Demo available.

Um, hello?

Posted on by admin

https://Um, hello?

So one thing I’ve noticed over the years as I’ve gotten older… it can be a LOT harder to get service in bars and places like that.  When you’re in your 20s and 30s, especially if you’re attractive, bartenders and maitre d’s JUMP to help you.  As you age, you become more invisible.  One place in particular – the Spice Market in NYC – really stands out in my mind; it was so frustrating we actually walked out rather than have a drink and then dinner.  No way were we going to give them our hard-earned money when they ignored us.  That said, if I looked like this, wearing an outfit like this, I doubt that would happen, but then again, I’m overly dressed for some SL venues lol!  Anyway, I LOVE this look, and doubt I’ll be ignored anywhere I go!  I hope you like it as much as I do! Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  PURPLEMOON – Kendal.  What a stunning little outfit!  Is it the wide leather cinch belt (it’s really a corset)? the unbuttoned shirt?  the “panels” on the skirt?  No matter, it’s a winning combination!  And the textures just kick it over the top!  Me, I always go for the stripes, but this time, I was awfully tempted to go with a solid (see the ad below and you’ll see why).  There are 11 different combos to choose from, or a megapack that has them all.  Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya+Petite+LaraX+PetiteX, & GenX Classic+Curvy, Kendal is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Designer Showcase, open Nov 5th – 20th.  Demo available (just click on the big pic).

A roadside break…

Posted on by admin

https://A roadside break

Love this look, but this outfit pulled me in two very different ways… first, I leant towards “redefining biker babe style”.  But then I did a whole shoot that just wasn’t sitting right, and then the overall look I’d done evoked in me the feeling of driving long winding roads.  When I started playing with poses, this idea grabbed me and made me feel very European (maybe it’s the cigarette??) while also invoking a simpler time (the hairdo is very 50s I think, but before my time lol).  So in my mind, here I am, feeling very European driving along the coast in Southern Italy.  I can’t pinpoint WHY all of this is playing in my mind, but honestly, who cares? I felt great, thought I looked great, and had a great time cruising around some winding roads in my roadster with my little dog for company till I pulled off for a little roadside break… Whatever makes you happy, right? Now for some shopping happiness, lol…

  • Outfit:  Sascha’s Designs (SAS) – Hiba.  A stylized cropped jacket & pants in classic black, Hiba includes a 12-color HUD for the top (see the ad below).

Happiness is a successful book hunt!

Posted on by admin

https://Happiness is a successful book hunt!

I’m a reader, and I definitely read a lot, generally speaking at least one book a week (this year I’ve already read 62 books, though that admittedly includes some titles I abandoned part-way through).  A bookstore — especially a 2nd hand bookstore! — is one of my happy places, especially when I find a book that’s been on my wishlist for years that for which I haven’t been willing to pay full-price (which is most books lol). That thrill of a successful book hunt is quite heady, and if I’m lucky, the title in question lives up to it.  But even if it doesn’t and ends up abandoned, that high of discovery remains! Happy shopping, whatever you seek!

  • Outfit:  KiB Designs – Kiera.  Who says style has to be complicated?  True style is effortless!  And that’s Kiera… she includes a HUD with 27 solid textures for the top, & 27 plaid textures for the skirt (see the ad below).
