Double Trouble

http://Double Trouble

So it’s a bit funny… as much as I keep saying that I’m going to stop what I call “double posting” — putting two images up on FlickR rather than just one with a supporting image in the blog — I keep doing it.  Why do I want to stop? First it’s a lot more work… deciding which groups to post which image is can be so painstaking it just gets annoying.  Second it really impacts response, and as a blogger who is looking for one or two brands to replace some events that have closed, response matters.  But the fact remains that my primary audience is ME; I only blog items that I truly like, and I’m the one I need to satisfy first and foremost.  If I’m not happy with the work or not having fun, it shows.  And another funny thing is that my favorite pix never seem to perform as well as those I’m a bit more lukewarm towards…  not quite sure what that’s all about, but I’ve found it extremely interesting that I hear the same thing from other bloggers and from designers that I’m friendly with.  Just goes to show you lol!

Getting that perfect Selfie

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Getting that perfect Selfie

Am I obsessed with taking my own picture in SL because I’m a blogger, or am I a blogger because I’m obsessed with taking selfies?  It’s one of those chicken and egg questions, for which there is no real answer.  But since almost every post I make is basically a selfie, I really liked the idea of confronting it head-on in a pose. It’s a funny thing though… I very VERY rarely take a selfie in real life, but then I don’t blog RL or post many pix in social media.  I’m sure there’s some deep psychological meaning in all this, but honestly? I don’t care… I’m having fun and that’s all that counts!  Now if I just tilt my chin a bit that way, I’ll be able to see the earrings better…  snap, shift, snap, shift…  and so it goes!  😉

The fatpack comes with 4 faded denim colors; Sadie is EXCLUSIVE at the August eBento through the end of the month.  Remember to wear your MOZ tag for special Member pricing @events like this!  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Myles, worn in my favorite summer tone, Maple.  Myles is right up my alley, since she has light freckles & some scattered beauty marks.  To show you her simple beauty, I took off my standard applier freckles & all makeup for the 4 tone shots below (I did still wear my own red eyebrows).   Gorgeous, right? Myles is EXCLUSIVELY available in fatpacks of light or dark tones at the Fetish Fair, Aug 17th – 31st.  Shape & demos available too.
  • Nails:  Cazimi – Sugar Rush Nails, beautiful soft toned nails with a silver/white either at the tips or at the cuticle.  The HUD offers 5 colors in both options, for a total of 10 different nail styles (see below for a shot of the HUD).  Appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, & Slink, available at the Designer Circle 16/19 August 11th – 24th.

http://Waiting for my YaYa

So here I am again, sitting on my ya ya waiting for my ya ya, uh huh… What’s a girl to do? Drank my beer, read my book… I guess I could paint my toes, but then again you can only paint them so many times, & they’re looking pretty perfect already.  Time to start thinking about how I should have him make it up to me… hmmmm… what jewelry would look good with that new dress I just got huh? Or maybe I can whip out the fur-lined handcuffs, and–  but oops, this blog is PG, best to keep THAT thought for closed doors (or maybe another blog lol)!  Well, at least I’m sitting here on these gorgeous fun new loungers, playing with all the built-in textures & animations… oh well, “It may sound funny, but I don’t believe he’s comin, Uh huh, uh huh, Baby, honey, don’t leave me worried, Uh huh”…

  • Outfit:  S&B Fashion – Over Bikini Top w/ Jeans Shorts.  To me, this is sweet, sassy, yet surprisingly simple. & sexy  The shorts are your basic denim, but with an a to-die-for fit; the top is the cutest little combo. You catch a hint of the solid color bikini top but get the full effect of its criss-crossed front straps, while in back it’s just the thinnest of ties… over that is a loose, patterned top with a regular shoulder strap in front that then criss-crosses behind the shoulder blades, leaving most of your back bare.  Includes a 3-texture HUD for the top; sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya, eBody, TMP, & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 15/19 July 28th – August 10th.  Demo available.
  • Chairs:  Circa Living – “Baja Sun” Beach Loungers.  They may be created for beachy spots, but IMHO they work great on decks & porches too!

Each comes with an array of pattern & solid textures to mix ‘n match via touch menus (the Aztec set, shown, has 7 patterns). Just at a simple touch of a menu you can have a whole new look. Some loungers are colourful & exotic while others are more neutral in tone for serene looks. The base piece below the cushion comes in aluminum metal, blonde wood, & teak wood.  Each comes loaded with 44 sit & lounge animations for the ladies & gents, offering both quality & variety.  EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running through August 15th.

Packing a little extra booty

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Packing a little extra booty

So I’ve been prattling on and on about needing a vacation for a long time now, but tada!!! It’s finally booked!  I can hardly wait! It’s not till mid-September, but it was a pretty complicated three-city deal to set up, so that was the earliest I could pull off with any kind of economy.  Why three cities? Well first we drive to Philadelphia to leave our dog with our son, which means one night in a hotel there. Then we fly to Florida to look into moving a year or two or three down the road; then we’re driving over to a beach resort to just veg and relax before heading back to Philadelphia for a last night, some time with our son, and then back to NY with our dog in tow!  Lots of coordination with reservations and checking alternate routes and ways of doing things, but I got it done in one very long day.  Of course, now comes the hardest part… WAITING.  I wish we were leaving this week lol, but oh I love the anticipation… it will keep me going for all these weeks!!!!  And what does all this have to do with “packing a little extra booty”?  Because now I’m thinking how nice it would be if my clothes in RL were anywhere near as lovely as my clothes here in SL (like this GORGEOUS suit/cover up), not to mention my body lol!  Then I’d be TOTALLY happy!!!!  😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – Andi Swimsuit & Cover Up.  Andi is a stunning one-piece suit with open lacing up the front, but from the back!!! Wow, it’s the barest of thongs that flaunts whatever it is you’ve got to show!  On top of that, the cover up has just the perfect amount of sheer.  Andi includes ORIGINAL TEXTURES in separate 10-texture HUDS for the swimsuit, the cover up, & the included sandals so you can match fully or coordinate, however you want.  Sizes available for Tonic, Slink, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya & Classic.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Mirabelle, worn in the beautifully tan Maple tone (browless).  Based on Genus, I’m wearing her on a Tonic mesh head. I’m not wearing ANY makeup with Mirabelle; she comes with this beautiful shading around the eyes & blush on the cheeks… absolutely gorgeous, whatever tone you pick from the fatpacks of dark or light tones available EXCLUSIVELY at the Sense Event through August 8th.  Shape & demos also available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control (although I wear it all the time, it REALLY comes into play when you wear something like this; customizable to how much extra “up” & “out” you want, it’s awesome if you like to pack a little extra booty)… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!
  • Head: Tonic – Coco, one of the two NEW bento heads from Tonic; fully mod & Omega-ready so you can easily customize her to make her look all your own
  • Hair:  BESOM – Maddy
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega);  DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)

Just Sitting

http://Just Sitting

Maybe it’s because it’s a guy’s post, but for some reason, I’m just out of words for this blog. Unusual for me, to say the least. Maybe it’s because the heat has just crushed them all out of me. Maybe it’s because it’s Saturday morning and I stayed up way too late inworld last night playing cards & dancing. Who knows? Either way, everything in the pic really speaks for itself… so I’m just going to keep on sitting here, enjoying the breeze from the water, thinking & watching the world go by… 😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – Evan Shorts Set.  What really sets this outfit apart is that the alternating panels on the top — the light ones — are somewhat sheer so you can see a bit of what lies beneath.  It really adds a bit of oomph without going overboard.  Evan also comes with beach shoes (slip ons that are open in the back) that are just really versatile for all those summer outfits when sandals aren’t enough but even sneakers are just too much.  Evan comes with separate 10-color HUDS for the top & shorts; wear matching tones together or mix ’em up anyway you want.  Sizes available for Slink, Adam, Aesthetic, Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, TMP & Classic.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Hakon, worn in Earth, has a great combination of bad boy & clean cut looks all rolled into one.  Worn with the Hairy version of the body skin, which you see at the top of the shirt & just enough of it through the mesh.  In other words, damn sexy.
  • Seating:  Dawn Home Furnishings & Decor – Alpine Seating Set.   Lovely, relatively simple set, just perfect for that setting that needs something but not too much.  Includes the armchair & the couch, both with single & couple animations. EXCLUSIVE at the July Boardwalk Event running July 15th – August 15th.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Head: Akeruka (AK) – Clay, the latest deluxe bento head from Akeruka

Endless Summer

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Endless Summerhttp://Beach Babe

Wow, hard to believe we’re more than halfway through July already. I haven’t been to the beach once, or really done anything that says “SUMMER” other than use a lot of air conditioning and try to stay cool.  In fact, it’s going to be so ridiculously hot this weekend that our outdoor plans were actually cancelled; instead, we’re considering going to the movies of all things.  Shakes my head sadly at what my world is coming too… oh well, at least here in SL I’m on the beach all the time, having fun, boating and so much more… truly an endless summer… and I don’t even have to worry about sunburn!!!!  Beach baby, go go go!!! 😉

Stay, Just One More Minute

http://Stay Just One More Minute

Time’s a funny thing.  Some hours seem to stretch on forever… others pass by in a rush.  Much better and greater writers than me have written about this; but I have have found that Second Life can create the illusion of both happening at the same time.  It’s a time warp effect that I for one absolutely love, although the return to reality can definitely be a bit jarring.  But talk about time warp!  I think my blog has gone and made changes all on its own without me, reverting to an old header photo on its own accord… The fact is that Crichton is updated, so a closeup of the “old him” really didn’t work anymore, but not quite sure how my blog knew that.  If it’s going to do anything on its own, it would be lovely if it could write itself lol!!!!  Well, time to do the Time Warp again!  It’s just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right!!! (and if you don’t get the reference, well, that’s ok lol; I’m just in a strange mood this morning) 😉

Finding Balance

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Finding Balance

I’m beginning to understand why some bloggers don’t name their photos but just number them.  Personally, I’ve never liked the practice… it’s not quite at the level of pet peeve, like taking a vertical photograph and turning it horizontal — something I’ve never EVER understood, unless it’s in the hopes of getting a cover? ; but it does seem kind of lazy and to me, somehow makes the picture itself less unique.  But then again, there are times I agonize over what to name an image, only to have the absolute perfect name burst into my brain after I’ve published with something “good enough”.  This is one of those times.  Everything is done and ready to go, EXCEPT A TITLE.  No one is around. So I’m just going to go with what my life is all about right now… finding balance.  Between health and illness, dreams and reality, strength and vulnerability, and so much more.  One day at a time. So true… I guess that’s why it’s a cliché, right?  😉

  • Outfit:  Dallas MacKenzie Designs – Braelyn. “One-piece” double-belted outfit, with midriff netting that’s a muted echo of whatever color/pattern you select for the top.  HUD includes 24 textures for the top, 35 for the pants, 3 for the belts, & 3 for the buckles. Sized only for Slink H/P & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 12/19 June 9th – 22nd. Demo available.

  • Shoes:  Tonic – Encore Clogs, a re-imagined version of an old favorite.  HUD includes 8 luxurious leather colors. Tonic/Slink high versions (so yes, even if you don’t have a Tonic body or can’t wear it because of a clothing issue like here, you still get to wear them!!!!!).  Demo available.

Nothing Says Summer like Barbecue!

http://Nothing Says Summer like BBQ

Summer may not have officially begun, but as far as I’m concerned, once Memorial Day has come and gone, it’s summer! And although the definition of summer has changed for me over the years, as my life has changed, one thing has always remained constant… summer means BARBECUES!  And at my house, we’re old-fashioned… no gas grills for us, we still use charcoal, and BBQ the way we did when I was a kid.  I love everything about a charcoal grill — the smell, the taste, the charring — mmmmm, I’m making myself hungry lol! But that’s why I was so thrilled when I saw this set from [Circa]… it’s not only charcoal, it even has flames.  And just in case things get out of hand, they’ve even thoughtfully included a fire extinguisher!  So let’s throw some steak and chicken and corn and whatnot on the barbie, and get this BBQ cookin’!  😉

Waiting for that Kiss

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Waiting for that Kiss

I don’t know how patient a person you are, but patience is definitely NOT my long suit. I’ve worked on it for years, and I’ve definitely improved over time, but I’ll admit that I still like immediate gratification.  Sadly I’ve done a lot of waiting over the last few weeks… some of it really emotional and filled with worry and fear, some of it just long and boring, and some of it — like waiting for FlickR maintenance to be complete — just purely frustrating. But if it’s one thing I’ve learned is that you can’t avoid waiting, it’s just part of life.  Not only that, the payoff for waiting is often worth it… and in this last case, hopefully the ongoing and increasingly annoying problems with FlickR have been resolved. I guess we’ll all find out together.  I WILL say that my photostream is loading much quicker than before, but whether that’s temporary or permanent, well, time will tell. I just hope I didn’t jinx it by putting it in print lol!  😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – NEW! Nico Shorts Outfit, the perfect spring shorts set for just about any guy! Subtle vertical stripes down the center of a loose but shape-revealing tshirt worn over belted matching shorts in brushed cotton with matching sneakers is the very definition of relaxed comfort…  Worn here in olive, Nico also comes in blue, smoke, purple, red, & turquoise, all 100% Original Textures. Sized for Slink,  Signature Gianni, TMP, & Classic (S/M/L). Demo available.  A We Love to Blog designer.
  • Hut:  Kozy Korner – Romantic Stilt Fort, only 12 prim & sooo incredibly cute!  Includes 4 texture changes to the pillows & blanket.
