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.

The calendar may not agree that summer is officially over (that day is Sept 22nd), but for most people, Labor Day is the unofficial end.  Even here in central FL, temps are down and a light sweatshirt is needed after dark (though I’m sure it won’t last lol).  IRL stores are already flaunting Halloween and even Thanksgiving paraphernalia (which I think is pushing it a bit), and here on the grid, fall fashions and that gorgeous autumn scenery is rapidly taking over.  I’m already pondering how I’ll redo my land for autumn and when I’ll swap out my tanned summer skin… but for this moment, I’m still enjoying the brilliant sun, deep blue skies, and sexy summer wear! Happy shopping!

• Outfit:  SUN Fashion – Ivana Top & Skirt.  This little set (with the top & skirt sold separately) is just so cute & flirtatious… IMHO the perfect way to bid farewell to summer.  The keyhole sleeveless crop top is a beautiful summer knit available in 6 single colors or as a Megapack; the short ruffled skirt is available in 3 versions of black or white (no belt, gold belt, silver belt) or as a megapack of each.  (See the ads below.) Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy, & LaraX, this flirty set is available at the current round of Designer Showcase, open Sept 5th – 20th.  Demos available.
