Moon of My Life…

http://Moon of My Life

If you’re not a Game of Thrones fan, then you may not get the title of this post, but if you are, then you understand… completely!  I don’t know about you, but while I’m so excited that the next season of Game of Thrones will start soon — April 14th — I’m also kind of sad, because it’s the final season.  That’s the problem with a wonderful miniseries, or a wonderful book… at some point, they come to an end, and you are left to imagine what comes next.  The good news? I have a WONDERFUL imagination… hopefully you do too! 😉

DJ Got Us Fallin in Love

http://DJ Got US Fallin in Love

Blogging is a strange thing. Some pictures can take hours and hours or even days, between putting together the look, the scene, the editing, the writing.  Nothing feels right, it’s all somehow out of sync. Others just seem to naturally fall into place with an image blossoming in your head almost like a piece of music. Thankfully these days most of my pix fall into the latter category, with this being a prime example. I’m wearing items from 4 different sponsors — one, Syndicate Sunday, for the very first time!! — and rarely have all the right notes sounded so clearly when coming from such disparate sources.  It’s kind of like falling in love… the magic starts happening and you need to just let it carry you where it will.  So let’s turn that volume up, and dance to the music!!!! 😉

Now who’s been naughty and who’s been nice?

http://Naughty or Nice?

It’s already a whirlwind holiday season in Second Life, with even more events than usual and tons of wonderful must-have items both to buy and to blog, some supporting American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life (which I always indicate in the blog copy).  It’s exhausting, exciting, and sometimes tempting to take the easy route and go with “good enough”, but anyone who knows me, knows that I ALWAYS do things the hard way lol! Which doesn’t mean I’m not willing to take a moment now and then, and just stop, breathe and collect my thoughts. Now let’s think… who’s been naughty and who’s been nice? Need to keep those lists straight… 😉

  • Outfit: ML Fashion – Winteroutfit Snow Hoodie & Jeans; cropped little hoodie w/ a 5 texture HUD — each with a contrast bottom band & hoodie cords — paired w/ hip-hugging belted snowflake jeans w/ their own HUD of 10 colors plus 3 belts. Sized for Tonic, Belleza I/F/V, Slink H/P, & Maitreya. EXCLUSIVE at TheEvent for December.
  • Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Silence, worn in Butter, browless, another of the AMAZING skin gifts on the Advent calendar at the store.  I ADORE this skin (it’s the second tone I’ve worn & blogged, I just don’t want to take her off lol!) NOTE: Here’s how the Advent Calendar works. Each day you’ll see the current day’s gift box on the tree with hover text saying “Come get your present!” Simply right click & pay 1L (you’ll get it right back). Previous gifts are shown with hover text “You’re a little late, but you can still get your gift for 99L.” New gifts open around midnight SLT each day, & are randomly put into the boxes; inside each box are male & female gifts. Remember: the advent poster is RANDOM!  
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – NEW! Erika Booties, sized for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya; 50-color HUD for the main body & then for both the inner & outer straps creates an almost unlimited number of customized looks to go with every outfit! And those tassels!

  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1

Grave reflections…

http://Grave Reflectionshttp://Grave Reflections (close up)

You really never know where inspiration will come from.  Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was bemoaning how Halloween was already becoming ho hum? Then wham! I see these awesome “Grim Graves” props from Circa and suddenly here I am, excited to be doing a whole new Halloween-themed post lol… So much more fun to be in the Halloween spirit … I don’t know what had come over me… maybe I ate a bad shroom lol… in any case, I absolutely ADORE this look I put together.  And I DO mean “put together” because it’s lot’s of assorted bits and pieces from JR Wolf Creations, a designer that is new to me because I never realized they made things in Tonic sizes!

  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty, the new V5 body featuring newer smoother mesh & a brand new HUD; you should also note that V5 is a single mesh now — hands and feet are included in the mesh, saving you valuable attachment slots (using the Alpha controls in the HUD you can easily hide the feet/hands if you need to). The hands, wrists and elbows, fingernails and toenails had some major rework done and are much MUCH nicer, better looking and more realistic.
