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:  AnaStyle – Kiraraa 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.

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.

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).

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…

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!

Well, SL life and blogging goes on… My blog is up and working, with a few bugs to figure out (if I can, WP and web designing/managing is definitely outside of my wheelhouse); my beach lot — which I had set up and maintained basically for blogging beachy stuff, but rarely used) — is emptied and up for sale.  Found some abandoned land I like for Thea’s new home (I’m giving her my tier allowance so she can have a bigger place for HER fantasy blogging/SL life)… and of course there’s always SL date night and dancing, dancing, dancing!!! Ready to trip the light fantastic????  Whatever you choose to do, enjoy!!! Smiles, and poofs…

• Dress:  ALTER – Tokio Mini Dress.  WOW, did I fall big time for this dress!  The look, the styling of it, is a combination of modern, classical grecian, elegance & sexiness.  I, of course, went with one of the animal prints, which are subtly sophisticated.  (So many adjectives, lol, can you tell how much I love this look lol?)  Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky, & Lara+LaraX, Tokio is available in 8 single colors or as a fatpack with a 20-color HUD. She is featured at the current round of Designer Showcase, open Oct 5th – 20th.  Demo available.
