Happy Hour

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Happy Hour

I’m one of those people who love Etymology, the origin of words.  I find it fascinating how words and phrases make it into our daily lexicon.  For instance, did you ever wonder where the term “Happy Hour” came from? It sprang from the mind of some marketing guru, and spread like wildfire throughout our society.  It’s one of those terms that really grates when you think about it… who wants to be happy for just an hour? and is happiness really based on discounted food and drink? Or, as I believe, are there different levels of happiness, and happiness itself is a transient state?  Well, enough philosophizing… all I know is that this flirty little dress in this beautiful silk pattern feels like a summer breeze and always makes me happy, even more so when my partner commented on date night how exceptionally pretty it was on me.  Not to mention, it’s Happy Hour somewhere on the grid and in RL… so let’s start getting happy!

Beachin’ it!

I’m heading off to the beach today in RL, and all I can say is that it takes an awful lot more work than on the grid.  Inworld there’s no driving, no traffic, no lotions, no red flags… all it takes for a perfect time at the beach is a sensational bikini, sunglasses, some kind of floatie, flip flops, and a hat… then a quick TP to find my perfect spot in the sun!  Sighs… if only it was this easy in RL… and if only I looked this good!

Going for a ride

http://Going for a Ride

This is one of those outfits that I wanted the moment I saw it, and was just thrilled that it not only came in Tonic sizes but was from a designer whose sizes always fit like they should! The lo-cut, off-shoulder blouse has a wonderful finishing edge, and just looks like it would be incredibly soft to the touch. The cute little shorts are hi-cut in the rear, and unzipped in the front to not only make room for that post-partying bloat, but also to show a glorious inside fabric that matches the teeny thong. And of course there’s a HUD for everything, so you can pick the color/pattern combination you prefer (and let me say, it was NOT an easy choice).

http://I'm a firework! Happy 4th of July!

So I wasn’t going to blog today because it’s a holiday and I figured few people are online. But then I realized that I’M online for at least a few hours, so maybe others are too. The result:  a SPECIAL JULY 4TH EDITION.

And what could I possibly blog other than a “patriotic” outfit. So here’s my take on the red-white-and-blue SL-style! There’s nothing subtle about this outfit, in ANY respect — strapless, lo-cut in front; wayyyy short in back (ass cheeks hanging out on full display here), side leg zippers pulled wayyyy up on the side (finding panties that worked was for me a necessity but quite the challenge!), and an in-your-face American flag pattern. I, of course, took it even further with some older items buried in my inventory  — July 4th shoes, firecracker earrings, and a tattoo of stars. I’m a firework going to shoot across the sky! Happy 4th of July (and Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends out there as well)!

For someone who’s rarely taken bikini photos, I seem to be doing a lot of them lately (and there’s more to come).  And for good reason: it’s bikini season, and SL designers are going all-out to outdo each other with great cuts and fabulous textures.  Just look at this suit! The bottom is about as teeny as they get, with a pure thong in the back and just enough coverage in front; the top is lo-cut but full enough to comfortably support full-sized breasts, and sports cut-outs at the bottom for that added note of sexiness (as if this suit needs it).  Two tiny bands over the hips with a patch of fabric, and skinny string ties for the top with an alpha bow… all these details make for an incredibly special bikini. Sized for Tonic, Belleza Freya/Isis, eBody Classic/Curvy, Eve, Maitreya, and Slink Orig/Hourglass, it’s available in a range of solids and patterns… I’m wearing the Neon Ribbon, but be sure to check out the solid Blue Caribe… it’s 50% off at the July Fitmesh Plaza & 50% Discount Event.

Rain rain go away

http://Rain rain go away

OK, logically I know we need the rain, and sometimes a rainy day can be incredibly enjoyable, but NOT when the weatherman predicts sunny skies. In my time, I’ve had a lot of extra cups of coffee waiting it out, but — and how’s this for a segue? — I rarely look as good as in this amazingly soft-looking, flowy, remarkably feminine jumpsuit. Yes, the cut of the top is great, the sheer fabric in the middle adds undeniable sex appeal, the color choices are wonderful (15 solids, plus the pattern I’m wearing in 5 colors) but it’s the way the bottoms have such natural-looking folds that really makes this jumpsuit special. Unfortunately, though, it can’t stop the rain…

Soaking up the last rays of sun

http://Soaking up the last rays of sun

If you follow my blog (and I certainly hope you do), you’ve probably noticed that I’m suddenly taking a lot of pictures on the beach or in water lately, including several in bikinis. There are three reasons for this… first, because it’s bikini season in this part of the world, SL designers are all releasing incredible new designs and textures that are just too hard to resist. Second, photo contests are popping up all over the place, and one I’m participating in is at a beach community. And three (and frankly, this is probably the biggest reason), it’s just wishful thinking on my part since (A) the beach is a few hours and a whole hassle away in RL and (B) RL bikinis belong way back in my past. But that’s part of what Second Life is for, right? So I’ll just continue my bikini dreams, soaking up the last rays of the Cape Florida sun… and I don’t even have to think about sunscreen!

Pina Colada, Anyone?

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Pina colada anyone

I’m seeing variations of this sexy little bare-backed romper EVERYWHERE, in different patterns and textures. It fits amazingly well, and is both cute and sexy.  But by trying lots of demos, I did notice that while they all looked good in and of themselves, almost all had severe alpha conflicts with long hair, probably because most designers included sheer options. For me, long hair was a MUST with this outfit — especially since I just discovered Stealthic and have refused to take this hair off for days lol (I just love the naturalness of the hairline) — which is partly why I chose this relatively simple denim interpretation of the romper. (which still provides 12 different colors). But after all that shopping and demo-ing, I do think it’s time for drinks… pina colada anyone?

Confidence with Style

http://Confidence with Style

This is definitely not one of those all-too-common micro-bikinis that provide the merest scrap of material to cover enough bits to meet potential sim requirements… this is a suit that is bursting with STYLE.  Beautifully designed to flaunt your body — whether curvy or model-thin — while the latticed “cage” on both the top and bottom provides incredible interest to draw and capture the eye.  And the patterns in the HUD are all so beautiful the hardest part was deciding which one to wear.  Honestly, if I could still wear a bikini in real life, this is exactly what I’d want (yes, even though it would give really strange tan lines lol)…
