Respite

On September 9, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home, Role-Play2 Comments

I make no secret of liking to dress up in mythical and fantasy like costumes and events like 25L Tuesday, which are geared more for the role-player make it a lot easier. It’s sort of my rationale for I won’t feel so guilty for buying something that I might just wear once for a picture if it only costs 25 lindens. The rest of the items minus the shoes, chalice and fruit were from the August Collabor88 event.

Hauling the loot home…

“Sometimes I pretend to be normal, but it gets boring so I go back to being a pirate.”

There were a few pirate outfits you could piece together with this round of the Fantasy Gacha Carnival from a couple or more creators. Due to the vendor not rezzing for one of those creators I ended up getting to this vendor and grabbing this pirate costume from !gO!. I absolutely love it and enjoyed putting it all together. I was not aiming for any particular color and was lucky enough that I didn’t have to play more than two extra times to get the complete set in one color. I could live with that.

Now time to haul my treasure home. Yep, we don’t mess around here. We mean business and take it all. 🙂

“Life’s pretty good, and why wouldn’t it be? I’m a pirate, after all.” ~ Johnny Depp

I always have good intentions of blogging things that I like and put together during the actual event. Then you know those unexpected things happen that get in the way. When that occurs, intentions while good, take a back seat. Though better late than never? I’ll just pretend it is. Some of the items were from the Fantasy Collective in April that can probably be found in the main stores now. Plus transferable items from a friend and fellow blogger, Sita Writer, which can also be found on market place from AleyMart for free. Everything is listed under credits.

“Not all treasure is silver and gold mate.” It includes the diamonds and emeralds too! It’s all good and dandy, until I landed in pirate jail and became bosom buddies with the Cap’n. He wouldn’t share his rum even after I sat there hearing all about his wild adventures in Second Life.

“{{Hands off}} my booty.”

“Ye be warned! Pirates be operatin’ in these waters.”

I got the last laugh blowing everything to smithereens.

D is for…

“Glamour is what makes a man ask for your telephone number. But it also is what makes a woman ask for the name of your dressmaker.” ~ Lilly Dache

Today’s letter is D and I choose to go with this fabric shop set from Dysfunctional Designs, because I absolutely love it. I really meant to blog this way back when it came out, a few weeks ago at a “We ❤ Role Play” event (crosses fingers I’m right on this). Then time just gets away. In my case, it’s also that things really get buried in my inventory and I loose track easily what I purchase from week to week.

This fabric shop set just made me think of an era I have only read in books. When dresses were made specifically for you at dress maker shops and you were fitted to be able to get the perfect dress made.

To help you prepare…

Sometimes you make the perfect plans for something, and hope that everything goes well and then nothing goes the way you expect. That’s been my afternoon and so what do you do? Improvise.

This would be the equivalent of my date not showing up after I went to all the trouble of preparing a “heart”y meal of pizza and icing the beer for him and the double chocolate ones for me.

Aphrodite Shops has been one of my favorite groups for a while now and I’m now honored to be blogging their items. I’m not disappointed with these heart shape place mats that rezz a feast if you’re looking for something sweet and enjoyable to share with your loved one on Valentines Day.

I could have gone for a much more fancier meal, which are included in the place mat. Though you can’t go wrong with pizza and beer either. I settled down to watch a movie all the while talking on the phone enjoying the red bouquet of roses with the delectable chocolates and cookies from this gift tray, other wonderful Valentine treats from Aphrodite. Watching this cutie pie in this movie more than made up for all the issues I had today.

May your Valentines be special.
