As much as I love getting my human avatar dressed in an exceptional outfit and working to create/select the perfect (or as near perfect as I can accomplish) setting for that look, I have to admit that nothing stirs my creative juices like blogging fantasy fashion. It’s just so unique, and can go far beyond the creative use of color and texture into skillful execution of truly imaginative design ideas. That creativity lingers in the clothing itself, and seems to stimulate my poor blogger’s brain into striving to do more than just create a setting but to build a scene that fits into a story line (a secret one lol since only I can hear it). I’ve been considering changing my blogging style for these fantasy pics… departing from this chatty stream of consciousness prattle and instead writing the scene for the shot . I’m a bit fearful of the challenge to be honest; whether or not I can do it successfully at all, let alone every single time. I definitely don’t want my posts to get hung up any more than they already are by real life; somehow I don’t think my sponsors would understand that I was delayed by screenwriting lol. But don’t be surprised when one of my fantasy blogs suddenly takes a turn into short story land (VERY short story). It could be fun, it could be a chore, it might help, it might do nothing… I guess I’ll only know by trying my hand at it. If you have any thoughts about it, I’d love to hear them, either by commenting on the post itself or reaching out to me directly through Flickr or inworld. Here’s to a bit of fae magic in all our lives!

Outfit: Poet’s Heart – Calaena. Another highly detailed, richly textured outfit from what I believe is a greatly underrecognized designer. The creativity of design & the VAST selection of textures for every detail of this amazing & amazingly different outfit just blows me away every time. Thankfully, PH utilizes the best outfit HUD I’ve seen, with color coding for what item(s) you’re changing all in one tab… it really simplifies putting together a unique look when there’s so many options — both in color & in fabric texture! — your head can spin! Calaena is designed for a warrior (a very stylish one), & is sized only for Maitreya. She is EXCLUSIVELY at the March We Love Role Play event, open through the end of the month. Demo available.
Head, Eyes, Skin, Makeup: LOGO – NEW! Bella bento head, releasing EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair 2021 at a remarkably low promotional price for the entire bundle of head, skins, & HUDs. Her beauty was featured in yesterday’s post, you can see the portrait & all the details about this fantastic new head HERE. This post shows you the versatility of the included animations, & just part of how “animated” she can be. The LOGO booth is in the North Sim of the Skin Fair; you can tp direct to it HERE.
Ears: LOGO – Ilvanya Elf Ears.
Hair: Kuni – Laisla
Horns: Eclectica – Crystal Satyr Horns
Beauty Mark: Izzie’s – Beauty Mole dark
Nails: StunnerOriginals – Mesh Ballerina Long Fantasy Bento Nails
Wings: Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Ragged Fairy Wings
Poses (blended together): Astalienda – Pisces; Kokoro – Wizard Holding Fire + Staff Holding
Location: Lost Unicorn

The Skin Fair has been open long enough now where you can actually teleport in without too much difficulty and shop (I don’t know about you, but I personally found it VERY hard to cam around a huge 2-sim event like the Skin Fair to see what was available and pick up demos). Even though I get excited about seeing the latest, I realized a while ago that there’s no prize for being the first one into an event and I much prefer to be able to wander and get a good feel for everything that’s available, especially from brands that I may not know. Whether you’re a wanderer like me or someone who picks their favorite stores to bop in and out, there are some truly fabulous finds (and my wallet is definitely showing the effects lol). IMHO, this new LOGO head is an absolute must demo… she looks amazing from the get-go but is totally customizable for you to achieve the look that is uniquely YOU. Best of all, she’s on a HUGE promotion, so both you and your wallet will be happy! Details below (with a sneak peek at a sensational new outfit that will be featured in tomorrow’s post!)…

Head, Eyes, Skin, Makeup: LOGO – NEW! Bella bento head, releasing EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair 2021. Bella is named perfectly since she is a beauty! Not only that, during the Skin Fair (March 12th – 29th) she’s at an equally beautiful promotional price, the entire BUNDLE (including skins plus the customization & animation HUDs normally sold separately) is just $499L ! Bella is a mix of all the things you love LOGO for plus a few big changes including all new teeth. She includes a starter shape (which I’ve tweaked slightly), eyes, teeth, skin in 6 tones, eyebrows in 9 shades, eyeshadow, lipstick… & with the customization HUD it’s easy to modify makeup into whatever tints you want (which is what I’ve done for my eyes & lips for that more elven look). The LOGO booth is in the North Sim of the Skin Fair; you can tp direct to it HERE.
Ears: LOGO – Ilvanya Elf Ears. I can’t say enough about these amazing elf ears (sold separately, they don’t come with the head) that I use to style her for fantasy… The utterly amazing ears come in two sizes with a customization HUD to change the color of the tattoo shading, ear cuffs, studs, chains, & gems, so that they can function not just as part of your head but as a fashion item as well. For a fashion diva like me, that’s important, as is the fact that they fit the LOGO heads seamlessly. But what constantly knocks my socks off (um, assuming I was wearing socks, of course) is that they have their own AO! Turn it on, & the ears twitch, tips go up, down, & all around… SUCH FUN, so natural looking. & so unique! Demo available.

A Secret Cave of Wonder

Posted on March 9, 2021 by cejalaval

For a somewhat chatty person, today I find that I have absolutely nothing that I want to share. It’s that time of the month where I’m spending a lot of time unpacking blogger boxes, sorting, experimenting… it’s all a bit exhausting and confusing, especially when it’s divided between two different avatars. On top of more “work” here inworld, my real life has been a bit more tiring than usual as well, since my husband overdid the activity a bit and is gimping around the house (barely!). That means I’m now doing his share of the dog walks, taking over the cooking, and yesterday I chauffeured him around to urgent care centers, the pharmacy, etc. If I’m honest, though, the biggest source of my stress is that I’ve started my diet/fitness program, (NOOM!), and I think I’ve been overdoing it, not just physically but depriving myself of calories. I need to be smarter about it, or I won’t succeed, because as we all know, deprivation just doesn’t work and is definitely NOT the key to happiness! Sighs, I much prefer living in my fantasy world, where all I need to do is play with my sliders lol! Though I’m starting to consider I might need to go on a shopping diet inworld, but there’s just so many talented designers with absolutely marvelous creations… how can I resist temptation? And on that note, happy shopping!

Outfit: Jangka – Lisa. NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya, the complete Lisa outfit consists of 3 separate parts — the top/pants with all the belts (2 pants included with each outfit), the boots, & the gloves, in 5 different color sets (only 2 for the gloves). Fatpacks are also available. The styling & attention to detail is exceptional, as I’ve come to expect from this designer (not to mention that these boots are to die for!). This outfit is EXCLUSIVELY at the March We Love Role Play for 25% OFF, March 4th – 30th. Demo available.
Scene: Swank & Co. – Secret Island Cave Hideaway. I’m not sure if it’s my photographic abilities that are lacking, but I found it impossible to capture the magical beauty of this amazing cave. And it’s a true cave… a rocky dome with a hidden entrance that opens/closes at a simple touch. The door opens to wonder, because inside is a magical hideaway bursting with colorful flowers, trees, butterflies, a waterfall cascading into a sparkling pond on which floats a raft filled with animations; even the walls have a colorful hue… it’s absolutely gorgeous! See below for some additional shots. Available in Adult & PG versions, both are a 100% DONATION to Relay for Life in Region 8 of the Home & Garden Expo, HERE. Be sure to see the demo while the H&G Expo is open from Feb 27th – March 21st.
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I can’t say enough about either this bento head or the amazing elf ears (sold separately, they don’t come with the head) that I use to style her for fantasy… Featured in yesterday’s post, which you can see HERE.
Eyes: Petrichor – Hylina Mer Eyes. One of the latest designs in Petrichor’s new line of fantasy eyes, the Hylina are one of my personal favorites. These amazing eyes are available for 25% off at The Warehouse Sale Event from February 23rd – March 18th. Featured in yesterday’s post, which you can see HERE.
Horns: Petrichor – Trinket Horns (Neutral Pack). I know it’s not like it would be in real life (hah! no kidding), but I’m one of those fantasy avatars who change my horns to fit my hair & outfit. These were my very first horns when I updated my avatar, & they are definitely among my most versatile. 100% custom design, these horns include 3 versions –plain, embellished with just ribbons, or with ribbons plus dangling trinkets, gemstones &/or skulls. Each version then has its own HUD to choose among all the color options. Unisex, moddable, & resizable, the Trinket Horns are available in 11 different color packs, or as a fatpack. What an awesome addition for any style-conscious horned avatar! Demo available at the mainstore. Featured in yesterday’s post, which you can see HERE.
Body: Maitreya
Skin: Petrichor/Plastik – Styliste

Look Into My Eyes

I don’t often do head shots, but sometimes it’s the only way to show some fabulous items that help define your look. As far as this fae is concerned, these are true finds that totally add some magic to a fantasy look! Every single item offers lots of customization to either create a personal look that never changes or (if you’re like me) to change daily based on your mood & outfit. How I wish I could do that in real life!!!! But until they figure out how to do that, I’m happy playing with my look here on the grid! Happy shopping!!!

Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I can’t say enough about either this bento head or the amazing elf ears (sold separately, they don’t come with the head) that I use to style her for fantasy… The head is the latest in the fabulous series of bento heads from LOGO, is simply beautiful & beautifully simple to modify into the look that YOU want. The utterly amazing ears come in two sizes with a customization HUD to change the color of the tattoo shading, ear cuffs, studs, chains, & gems, so that they can function not just as part of your head but as a fashion item as well. For a fashion diva like me, that’s important, as is the fact that they fit the LOGO heads seamlessly. But what constantly knocks my socks off (um, assuming I was wearing socks, of course) is that they have their own AO! Turn it on, & the ears twitch, tips go up, down, & all around… SUCH FUN, so natural looking. & so unique! Check it out for yourself… demos are available for both the head & the ears at the mainstore.
Eyes: Petrichor – Hylina Mer Eyes. One of the latest designs in Petrichor’s new line of fantasy eyes, the Hylina are one of my personal favorites. 100% custom mesh & textures, the HUD starts off with 80 fabulous colors. I fell hard for several of them, eventually choosing what looked best with the outfit of the day (which will be shown in full in tomorrow’s post). But choosing the basic color is just the start with Petrichor’s HUD… the HUD has additional tabs so that you can customize the shine, shadows, pupils, even animations IN the eye (think rotating or swirling for a truly mesmerizing effect). These amazing eyes are available for 25% off at The Warehouse Sale Event from February 23rd – March 18th.
Horns: Petrichor – Trinket Horns (Neutral Pack). I know it’s not like it would be in real life (hah! no kidding), but I’m one of those fantasy avatars who change my horns to fit my hair & outfit. These were my very first horns when I updated my avatar, & they are definitely among my most versatile. 100% custom design, these horns include 3 versions –plain, embellished with just ribbons, or with ribbons plus dangling trinkets, gemstones &/or skulls. Each version then has its own HUD to choose among all the color options. Unisex, moddable, & resizable, the Trinket Horns are available in 11 different color packs, or as a fatpack. What an awesome addition for any style-conscious horned avatar! Demo available at the mainstore.

A Queen’s Work is Never Done

What a weekend! After what seems like forever of trying to get my COVID vaccination scheduled while everyone around me was receiving theirs, we got the email telling us that we could now schedule our appointments. As someone who has an auto-immune condition, my relief was palpable, and we immediately scheduled for the next day (yesterday). We were lucky in that the site that came through (we were registered at 4 sites, and had been trying to get through to Publix scheduling and had traveled down to a first come-first serve site three times without success) was in a field 5 minutes from our house. Everything we’d heard and read was about the efficiency of this site, how it would be a maximum of 45 minutes from leaving our home to getting back. Unfortunately, that was NOT our experience, due to torrential rains in the morning which flooded the field and turned it into a mud bog. We arrived on time for our scheduled 1:30P appointments to be told that the field was closed and that we were to go to the high school that was basically across the street. No easy task. No one was there directing traffic or where to go for almost an hour, a major thoroughfare was blocked, resulting in a bit of mass insanity. Eventually, things were sorted and we ended up on a long, long, extremely long line filled with people who had appointments ranging from 8:30A (it turned out that morning appointments had been canceled and everyone was told to come back at 1P), through the afternoon. We had made sure to bring water and books to read, but other folks had not; lack of bathroom facilities was a huge problem since the line was filled with senior citizens, and the biggest issue was NO COMMUNICATION. An email was finally sent out at 3:30P (why nothing until then????). We DID receive our shots at made it home at 4:30P… not that long when you consider what other people are going through, but WAAAAAY longer than anticipated, we were VERY hungry since we had planned for lunch afterwards, and I personally was ready to burst. Yes, the weather had handed them a curve ball, and they were very efficient once you got up to the site personnel, but IMHO they should have (A) had a backup rain plan rather than first start scrambling to get one, and (B) they should have alerted everyone BEFORE heading over to wait on one line to then have to make it across to another. Still, we are lucky enough to have received our first dose, and we will certainly be prepared for contingencies like this when we go back in a month to get our 2nd shot. Not a very romantic note, but still a positive one… so I wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Shopping!

Outfit: Poet’s Heart – Eirwen. I may be a bit biased, but IMHO no one pays more attention to design detail & customization than fantasy designers. This lovely medieval-style gown — with an optional lace bolero — offers color customization of every detail, from the skirt (which is not only color-changeable but also with/without fade!) to the corset to the laces on the back of the dress & the buttons on the front & more… all with fabulously rich textures. Eirwen is sized for both Hourglass & Maitreya, & is EXCLUSIVELY at the February We Love Role Play event, open through the end of the month. Demo available.
Headpiece: Poet’s Heart – Eirwen Crown. Another EXCLUSIVE at the February We Love Role Play event, dare I say it’s the crowning achievement of the look (I know, I know, but how could i resist?) Once again, the customization options for the crown are amazing, with every element — the front “points”, the jewels on them, the back “points”, the decorative points, the beads, the forehead jewel, the hanging chains… all customizable with the incredibly easy color-coded HUD. See the closeup below… it’s a fae’s dream!
Makeup (Eyes): LOGO – Twilight Eyeshadow. The deep colors of twilight in 8 smoky shades. Install one or all, with/without crease, into your LOGO customization HUD. What a stunning way to set off the color of your eyes (whatever they may be)! See the closeup below.
Makeup (Lips): The Little Bat – Aria Lips. 12 luscious & fabulously different shades in both BOM & Omega. EXCLUSIVELY available at Sinners and Saints 2 Valentine Edition, an Evil Bunny Production, from February 6th – 28th. See the closeup below (& note that I added the stripe).
Chair: Petrichor – Lynuen Moonchair. A wearable, animated chair with 2 animation sets (rezzable AVsitter chair also included). Includes two HUDs with 45 colors each for shading all the elements of the chair (the base, the swirls, the floating pearls). Modifiable size/position for avatars. EXCLUSIVELY available at Midnight Order, through February 20th.
Horns: Petrichor – Arenvie Horns, worn Baph Style using the Fades HUD). I’ve blogged these multiple times because with 5 wear styles & 6 HUD color packs, they work with just about every style!
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears
Body: Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
Skin: Petrichor/Plastik – Styliste + Lip Stripe
Eyes: {Demicorn} Cosmetics – Meringue Eyes (Omega Appliers)
Hair: monso – Meiga
Wings: Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Luna Moth Wings

Here Comes the Sun

I have to say it: I do love being a fae. Years ago, long before my blogging days, I had opted to play almost exclusively as fae (my partner played as elf). At some point, for some reason lost in the mists of time (but before the advent of mesh in SL), we switched back to human form and our fantasy selves were forgotten. As I’ve said in earlier posts, my fae heart reawakened last year with the Fantasy Faire, and it’s been a true joy to have my wings back! My look obviously needed to evolve and I’m finally happy with where it is. As a well-dressed fae, my wardrobe also needed an overhaul, so when I find an outfit like Aerin, one that exhibits the very essence of what I look for in a fantasy outfit, it’s like the dawning sun in my face, making my little fae heart skip a beat and my wings beat joyously!

Outfit: Poet’s Heart – Aerin. Incredibly detailed with fabulously rich textures, Aerin is sized only for Maitreya. The outfit is available two ways: as a fatpack with 14 options for the overtunic + 5 for the gown + 4 for the shoulder “nets” + 9 for the neck & belt jewels, or as a group gift in green only (see below). Either way, this fae believes that Aerin is a must have for every fantasy wardrobe!
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I’ve blogged them both before, & will continue to do so because they have become my “look” (I’m especially enamored of the ears & the way they move, since they have a special AO of their own.) What a fantastic combination!
Body: Maitreya
Skin: Petrichor/Plastik – Styliste
Hair: no.match – NO_LIMIT
Horns: Eclectica – Metal Satyr Horns
Eyes: Gloom – Tirel Collection
Makeup: Zibska – Olek Makeup (eyeshadow) + Shura Lips
Wings: Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Irid Light Wings

Enchanted Fantasy

Even after almost 14 years here in Second Life, I have to say that the creativity of SL designers continues to amaze and delight me. IMHO, it is most powerful when it comes to fantasy, where imagination comes into play as much as design sense, taste, and attention to detail. I’m thinking that this might be a large part of why I’m finding myself so drawn to the fantasy side of things these days. There are not as many designers, true, but there are definitely those that outdo themselves on ALL fronts. And I’m continually thrilled to be able to share just a few of my favorites as I continue to explore the worlds of imagination on display here on the grid…

Outfit: Jangka – Elysium. NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Legacy, Elysium consists of the dress, separate armbands, & two styles of boots (with/without stocking tops & garters), in 5 different color sets. As always, the styling & the detail is simply exceptional. This outfit is EXCLUSIVELY at the January We Love Role Play as a gacha for 75L/play, Jan 4th – 30th. Demo available.
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I can’t say enough about either this bento head or the amazing elf ears that style her for fantasy… The ears come in two sizes with a HUD to customize chains, gems, & ear tattoos, but what still knocks me out is that they have their own AO.
Horns: Petrichor – Sanya Deco Horns. Beautifully shaped, HUD controlled with 80 horn colors, plus more for the metals, skulls, ribbons, gemstones, & more. Also unisex, 100% custom mesh, modifiable & resizable. Truly my favorite horns!
Scene: Enchanted Fantasy – Winter’s Tale Animated Horse. My poor fae heart has been stolen by a horse! I am totally enchanted by this horse, so beautifully styled with a looping animation that is just so natural! Available at the January Swank Event, open from January 7th – 30th. (In fact their booth is so amazing, I took this shot in their gorgeous fantasy display… other items you see here also on sale!)
Body: Maitreya
Skin: Petrichor/Plastik – Styliste
Hair: Kuni – Minha
Eyes: {Demicorn} Cosmetics – Unicorn Eyes (Omega Appliers)
Makeup: Zibska – Shura Makeup (eyeshadow & lips)
Wings: Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Thread Leaf Wings

A Winter’s Dream

Posted on December 28, 2020 by cejalaval

All this work IRL setting up my new house seems to be contagious. I suddenly have the bug to replace my house in Second Life, which is a stunning log cabin-type house that is rather primmy, and prims as you know are a very precious commodity (especially to a blogger who does some Home & Garden/Home & Decor blogging). In some ways, it’s a lot easier in SL… not as much time, money, or energy is involved, and it’s so easy to change your mind and redo it again… and again… and again… something that I am certainly guilty of over the years. But it’s also not as easy as it once was. I’m not quite sure why, but there are just fewer house designer/manufacturers than there were previously. I’m finding lots of houses that I love that are HUGE… lots of houses that are TINY… and some houses that fall in the middle, which is where I want to be. The issue I’m running across is that I simply don’t understand why the bulk of SL houses have so many bedrooms. For example, I found a perfect house in terms of style, quality, footprint, but for some reason the designer put in all these interior doors leading to 4 bedrooms. Four! We’re two people living in a house, what do we need with 4 bedrooms??? Maybe I’m dreaming, but I want that house with ONE bedroom plus a bath… sighs, sometimes I wish I had the knowledge and talent to create exactly what I have in my head lol, but since I don’t I do wish more house builders would think about the end user… I have to think that single or partnered avatars are buying most houses, not communes. I mean, I belong to a “cooperative” of sorts where we all have our own land but in one group so that we share usage over everything, but we still have our own houses. Oh well. My rant of the day is now complete, and we can all return to our regularly scheduled programming. Happy shopping!

The look:

Outfit: Poet’s Heart – Sophie Ghost. The pure white of this special holiday edition gown is simply stunning! Featuring a tightly laced satin bodice & then the skirt flowing loosely from the hips in a soft moire texture, Sophie includes a matching top hat with calla lillies… what an amazing look! (The lighting effects from the hideaway reflect off it beautifully, but you can see it’s purity & the beautiful texture in the closeup below.) Sized only for Maitreya, Sophie is available as part of the Poet’s Heart Holiday Hunt, Dec 24th – Jan 3rd. Happy hunting, there’s lots of awesome things to find!
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I’ve blogged them both before, but they are both just so special they are now my “look” (I’m especially enamored of the ears & the way they move, since they have a special AO of their own.) What a fantastic combination, as you can see in the closeup!
Jewelry: Glint – Gemmed Icicle Necklace & Earrings. Includes a HUD to change the metal to silver or gold, plus 8 colors for the gemstones. EXCLUSIVELY available at the December Twe12ve event, an Evil Bunny Production, open through Dec 30th. Be sure to see the closeup below!
Horns: Petrichor – Trinket Horns
Body: Maitreya
Skin: Petrichor/Plastik – Styliste
Hair: Kuni – Minha
Eyes: {Demicorn} Cosmetics – Unicorn Eyes (Omega Appliers)
Makeup: Zibska – Shura Lips; LUXREBEL – “Butterfly” Eyeshadows
Wings: Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Irid Light Wings
Pose: an lar poses – The Paulette Series

The scene:

Swank & Co. – Winters Dream Fantasy Hideaway Adult Bed. Truly a winter fantasy setting, with a bed surrounded by wintry flora, with stylized snowflakes drifting softly. This item comes with light effects (blue, purple, green, & red), which you can turn on & off to use just one or in any combination of light colors you want to create. What a stunning setting, & it surrounds a bed that includes some very adult (& fun) animations. EXCLUSIVELY available in Adult version only at the December round of the Swank Event, open until the 30th. See the full pull-out shot below.

Look! He likes my antlers!

Life is settling in a bit… I got my Florida driver’s license and registered to vote so I guess my NY-er status is officially over. Life there is already receding into the past, as I try to figure out my new life here. So many activities and things to do are on hold during the pandemic (or I’m unwilling to do during it due to the risk), which I’ve realized may actually be making it possible to ease into this life as opposed to the shock of trying to get busy and into things. Part of me does miss the snow… the pics friends and family have posted are just so beautiful, but then I remember all the bone chilling cold and arthritic achiness that goes with it, and well, I find I don’t really miss it at all! Much more fun here on the grid where it’s just the beauty without all the physical stuff lol! Happy shopping!

Top: Cosmos Apparel – Hannah Cardigan. Relaxed, casual, & with the top two buttons open causing it to slide slowly off the shoulders, well it’s also quite enticing. Comes in 3 fatpacks — Stripes (8 colors), Knit (8 colors), & Basic (4 colors). Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, Altamura, Legacy, & Maitreya, Hannah is EXCLUSIVELY available at the December Swank event open Dec 7th -30th.
Head & Antlers: LOGO – Chelsea. This stunning new bento head is gorgeous, she’s got lots of new LOGO enhancements, & she’s fully mod so you can tweak her shape to look the way YOU want to look. Today she’s sporting the all-new LOGO Christmas Antlers. I’ll admit that it took me a few minutes to realize what made these antlers so darn cute… it’s the little ears!!!! It’s details like this through everything LOGO does to show you what a fabulous brand it really is. The antlers are available EXCLUSIVELY at the December eBento event, through the end of the month.
Scene: Sadie’s Design – Solstice Winter Scene. Soooo lovely, it includes my friend here with icy roses & leaves on his back & twined around his horns, together with the two snowy pines & the arching white branches with lights. (See the shot below for a full pic.) Better yet, it’s the 10L GIFT available at The Naughty List, an Evil Bunny Production, from Dec 12th – 31st.
Body: Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
Hair: Tram – J0524
Freckles: Izzie’s – Heart Mole & Freckles
Jewelry: Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
Jeans: Kastle Rock Couture – Nikolette Jeans
Pose: Eternal Dream – It’s A Snowy Day

Sooo tired. Still living in a pile of boxes, living without living room furniture except for ONE semi-recliner that we are all sharing (our son is here for a while since his home is in lockdown mode, and then we had an additional guest for 2 days over Thanksgiving, Still dealing with house issues, though the biggest one has been solved (it seems silly, but we only had one garage door opener that worked; no one knew the code to open the door, and resetting didn’t work. Turned out the unit on the door was broken. Now at least there are no more calls about being locked out or wanting to leave and not being able to close the door lol.) Still adjusting to life in the South. BUT we are at least starting to slowly enter in that life, participating a bit in all that is offered here. So many activities to choose from, and so many that are hold during COVID. Between not having a desk, having company, and having so much to run around and try to take care of, being inworld has been exceptionally difficult. My blogging has suffered a lot, and I feel guilty about not being to meet my commitments. I’ve been sitting here for what seems like forever unable to even name this pic lol. In response, I’ve been forced to leave some of my sponsors, and will probably need to leave a few more. It’s hard to do… I blog for designers/events because I like their work, and as someone who spent her work life in the world of marketing/advertising, I believe that my small efforts can indeed have an impact (albeit a small one) on brand recognition, store traffic, and sales. I mean who can resist a gorgeous gown like this if they have a taste for the world of fantasy? Certainly not me lol! But I can only do what I can do in these circumstances, as I continue to work to improve them, and hope that my remaining sponsors understand and believe in me as much as I believe in them.
