Wait a minute, he said WHAT?

https://Wait a minute, he said WHAT?

Playing telephone… we all do it, both IRL and let’s face it, being in SL has a visual component but it’s still all based on words, and if you’re like me and don’t use voice, you’re also trying to interpret tone.  Be that as it may, I’m happy to report that the problems with my website are figured out!  After Flickr support failed to provide any answers, I had independently discovered a quick fix for my last post (and I implemented it for the one before), but it was a one-by-one thing, and with more than thousand photos on my blog, there was just no way to implement.  Support on my hosting site is now completely AI, and she (not sure why I think it’s a she, but I do!) figured out that one of the plug-ins was causing the issue… so my website is back to working!  YAY!  Now if I could only figure out why Flickr response is just so down… are so many Second Lifers abandoning the platform?  I’d love to hear from you about that…  And on that note, enjoy!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Fiorella Top & Pants.  As you might know if you follow my posts, I love lace.  This entire look is just so feminine & yet also so comfortable-looking… perfect for those Indian Summer days where autumn color is all around you but you’re warm enough to dress a bit lighter.  Fiorella is available in 14 single colors, with the top & pants sold separately, as fatpacks (the fatpack includes a HUD with all colors plus a color picker to let you customize them to the exact tone you want, which is what I’ve done), or as a Megapack with all colors for both pieces plus the color picker. ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Fiorella is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Lovemomma, & Nhumana  (see the poster below), & can be found at the mainstore as a NEW RELEASE.   Demo available with all colors included.

Will tonight be the night?

https://Will tonight be the night?

The scene is set, everything is ready, and there’s really nothing more I can do.  I’m kind of at that point IRL too, though in a completely different situation.  My computer/Flickr/blog issues are not resolved, which is hindering my progress as I keep expending tons of time and energy trying to fix it.  At this point, I just have to let it go — again — and get my post out.  Time just keeps ticking away, and I keep finding myself up against the wall.  And after all, tomorrow is another day, and I plan on enjoying it fully.  Hopefully, you will too!  Happy shopping!!

The Gold Standard

Posted on by admin

https://The Gold Standard

It’s been a few weeks since I blogged… for the whole week before leaving on a 2-week vacation, we had no internet, no WIFI, no TV… turned out that a lightning strike destroyed our cable line.  Just one of the hazards living in this area of Florida, which has been called the lightning capital of the US.  On top of having that quality I DON’T want, I also DON’T get much a change in seasons (though the temperatures do surely drop), and oh, do I miss it!  All those glorious colors!  To my mind, this outfit captures that gorgeous gold of fall — not TOO gold or sparkly, just golden enough — combined with the white shorts of summer… absolutely perfect for this transitional time!  It’s so good to be back!!!!

  • Outfit:  SUN Fashion – Antonella Gold.  Includes the stunning deep plunge top, short shorts, & absolutely marvelous heeled wrap sandals.  Rigged for Reborn, Legacy, Lara+LaraX, Antonella is available in 8 colors for the top or a megapack, 5 colors for the shorts or a megapack, & 3 colors for the heels or a megapack.  You can find her ONLY at the September round of Designer Showcase, open Sept 5th – 20th.  Demo available.

Strutting…

https://Strutting...

I love the way some outfits just make you feel… this one makes me feel like I can conquer the world lol, just by strutting down the street!  Though I realized after the fact that I should have been walking the Champs Elysee in Paris rather than traipsing around London lol! Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  Le’La – Dark Louvre.  This look just oozes city style & includes so much with lots of options — the cropped black leather jacket, BOM lace bodysuit, denim shorts or jeans, big wide belt, boots, sunglasses, choker, earrings & a clutch bag (see the poster below).  Rigged for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, LaraX+Petite+Maitreya+Petite, Kupra & Erika, she is available at the August round of Designer Showcase, open Aug 5th – 20th.  Demo available.

Signs and sayings are not usually my style, but sometimes you just got to own it, right?  Since I’m recovering from some oral surgery IRL, every little bit of attitude helps lol!  Happy shopping!

  • OUTFIT:  WILD Fashion – Zinnia.  For such a simple concept — a bow-shaped tube top, short denim shorts, optional puff-banded sleeves — this is quite a WOW outfit! I immediately knew that for me, the sleeves were NOT optional, they were an absolute.  But with so many texture choices on the top –colors, patterns, fabrics — & then again on the shorts (it’s a 180 texture HUD!), I kept falling in love with a look over & over again. I was stuck on my last two favorite color combos for a couple of days lol, but finally made a choice & just stuck with it.  Luckily, since all the colors are included, you get to create so many different outfits, no long-term choices needed!  Zinnia also includes big gold hoop earrings, & is rigged for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy, LaraX, & NHumana.  EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the August round of Designer Showcase, open Aug 5th – 20th.  See the poster below; demo available.

Workin’ it

Posted on by admin

https://Workin' it

IRL I’ve always hated regimented exercise.  In my younger days — before torn ligaments, broken bones, etc forced some changes on me — I loved tennis, zumba, waterskiing, etc., where you were getting exercise but having fun doing it.  Which isn’t to say I never went to the gym… I just hated doing it and was extremely inconsistent.  And honestly, that hasn’t changed, though I’m working at getting myself back into the gym through group classes since I’ve been losing weight and need to do something to tighten up that flesh.  But wow, if I looked THIS good wearing work-out clothes, maybe I’d go more often… or out to lunch before or after, showing off my bod!  Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  13 Avenue – Kimbra. Working out (or just looking like you’re on your way!) has never looked so good! Asymmetrical straps with optional contrast edging on the adorable top paired with slashed ombre leggings (see the Ad below) really shows that body off!  Sized for Reborn+Waifus, Legacy+Perky, & Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kimbra is available in your choice of 8 patterns (each with 2 variations on both the top & bottom) or a Fatpack with all options & the ability to mix ‘n match like I did.  Demo available.

Come a little bit closer…

Posted on by admin

https://Come a little bit closer...

In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to bad man José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say

Come a little bit closer, you’re my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer, I’m all alone
And the night is so long

So we started to dance, in my arms she felt so inviting
That I just couldn’t resist just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
Vamoose, José’s on his way
And I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say

Come a little bit closer, you’re my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer, I’m all alone
And the night is so long

Then the music stopped, when I looked the café was empty
Then I heard José say, “Man, you know you’re in trouble plenty”
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away I could hear
Her say to José

Come a little bit closer, you’re my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer, I’m all alone
And the night is so long

I just can’t get this song out of my head… and yes, the overall lyrics don’t match the scene at all, but the important part of beckoning? yes, that definitely fits lol…  But the fact is that this dress does quite a bit of the beckoning all on its own, don’t you think? and so much better of a title than something along the lines of Sunset and Lace (my ability with titles has sadly abandoned me of late)…

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Alessandra Dress.  Is there anything more romantic & feminine than lace?  And this is not just lace… it has 3 different patterns & is on a simply gorgeous style with a tied bodice, slightly belled sleeves, & solid underneath so the lace is almost like sheath covering a sexy little skirt & top… the result? ooh la la!  Alessandra is available in 14 single colors or as a fatpack (the fatpack includes a HUD with all colors plus a color picker to let you customize them to the exact tone you want, which is what I did here.). ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Alessandra is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Lovemomma, & Nhumana  (see the poster below), & can be found at the mainstore as a NEW RELEASE.   Demo available with all colors included.

If only I could teleport…

Posted on by admin

https://If only I could teleport...

Travel just isn’t what it used to be… I’m definitely dating myself, but I remember when travel was fun.  Before all the security.  Before cascading delays.  You showed up half an hour before your flight, you were good.  My favorite was the old Eastern shuttle between Boston and NY.  You got to the airport, you filled out a slip of paper, and you were on the next flight (they were every hour and you paid on the flight).  If a plane filled up, it took off and you took the next one.  That was also before they charged you for every little thing… you want to bring a carryon? That will cost.  You want to choose your seat so you can sit with your child or lover or spouse?  That will cost.  Delays happened of course, mostly due to weather, and I do remember getting caught all the way across the country during a strike, but it was so unusual that it became an adventure to get home.  Travel in general just wasn’t so exhausting and frustrating as it seems to almost always be today.  I was very fortunate on my two recent trips by air… on one trip, we were only delayed on the way home… it was more than 4 hours, but we were heading home, which is somehow more bearable than when heading to your destination where you have PLANS.  And on our last trip, we had smooth sailing on BOTH ends despite huge warnings about backups in getting through security… what a delight that was!  But easy travel shouldn’t be unexpected… the DELAYS should be unexpected, not the norm.  Patience is definitely a requirement in today’s world if you want to actually go somewhere.  If only we could teleport IRL!!! Just imagine that… (I know that I do, every single time I travel lol)!

  • Outfit:  JUMO – Briana.  Includes blouse + pants + belt + sandals + bag… the only choice you MUST make has to do with color/pattern, which is a lot harder than you would think lol!  Each of the 5 elements can be changed individually on the HUD that includes 20 “smooth” colors + 5 animal prints + 5 florals (like what I’m wearing).  Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, & LaraX+Petite, Briana is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the July round of Designer Showcase, open through TOMORROW July 20th.  See the poster below; demo available.

Ready to hit the town, but where do I start?

Posted on by admin

https://Ready to hit the town, but where do I start

Life certainly has its ups and downs, but I seem to be stuck in a down spiral.  A 5A visit to the ER with my husband (he went by ambulance), followed by 12 hours sitting in a bay with no answers, transferred to another hospital for admittance, and more waiting.  Now that he’s home, we’re running from doctor to doctor… frustrating and oh so frightening…  And my escape, my SL?  The last restart seems to have frozen my region, and I could see my home, but could not approach, and all I got was a message about my credentials not being authorized or some such thing.  After a lot of frustration I learned it the region needed a reboot… but of course this was over the holiday weekend.  I camped over at Thea’s place (my fantasy alt) so at least I had a private place to change, but it’s just not the same thing sleeping in a bed that’s not your own.  I had planned on doing this shoot with a backdrop that was all set up, but since I couldn’t get to my platform, I had to scout for a new location.  But working on this gave me focus and got me out of my worried brain, providing a much needed energy boost and some calming energies… now to keep it going IRL!  Here’s to better days!!!

  • Dress:  13 Avenue – Miss K Dress. NEW!  What a sassy little dress this is!  And the patterns, oh my!! Me, I went totally gaga over the “slashes” with netting (which alone has 9 pattern variations), but there’s a wide range of other patterns boasting net edging instead (see the Ad below).  The little sleevelets are optional, & panties are included (yes!!! makes life so much easier lol).  Sized for Reborn+Waifus, Legacy+Perky, & Lara+LaraX+Petite+PetiteX, Miss K is available in your choice of 28 patterns or a Fatpack with all options.  Demo available.

Cat crazies

Posted on by admin

https://Cat Craziness

OK, I’ll admit it… I’m a crazy cat lady here in SL.  But lately I’ll admit something else… my cats are starting to make me crazy.  Maybe it’s because I’m just not inworld as much, but anytime I sit or stand anywhere on my property, I’m inundated by cats.  I’m suddenly a virtual cat magnet, with them constantly demanding attention (not to mention photo-bombing lol).  I suppose that makes it even more like real life, where sometimes my pets start getting a little too overdemanding for pets as well.  The problem is that I have so very many KittyCats inworld, but I just love them so, and they definitely help make my SL house into a true home!!!  Have a happy!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Celeste Top & Pants.  Openwork + fringes, not to mention color-matched panties… I’m in love!  And I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about these fringes… when we were out dancing, my partner commented how cool it was that the fringes moved with my body.  Of course, they don’t actually move, but there was definitely the illusion of moving, maybe because of how the fringe is multi-strand at different angles, & when you’re moving, the light continually hits different parts. That’s my theory anyway, but I can say that it was definitely mesmerizing! Celeste is available in 14 single colors or as a fatpack (the fatpack includes a HUD with all colors plus a color picker to let you customize them to the exact tone you want, which is what I did here.). ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Celeste is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Lovemomma, & Nhumana  (see the poster below), & is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Dubai, open June 20th – July 15th.   Demo available.
