All the time someone is watching you

dad-013ps4

I’m in the groove right now listening to 80’s music, which was one of the highlights of my teenage years.  When I was putting this scene together the song, “Somebody’s Watching Me,” is what came to mind.  For most of my career, at least the past 15 years, I had a very public life where I had to get used to the fact that there is always someone watching you.

I kid you not. It was a bit uncanny when comments would reach me that someone would see me at a certain place or I said this or that, all unbeknownst to me.  I was still in this career when I started Second Life that at times I was a little apprehensive with it. Though I’m no longer in that career and fully embracing not having to censor everything that I do or say.

Today I am showing DaD Design’s latest creation, which is the ‘Wrought Iron Vintage Bed’.  It’s 100% original mesh and is available in both PG and Adult and has 4 different texture colors (white – gray – dark grey – black) accessible by clicking on the headboard.

You can find more details on the bed below the credits.

I’m back…even though I never got an opportunity to mention that I would be gone for a few days and without internet.  My apologies for that as I just didn’t have the time to log in and do one more post.  Then somewhere between that time period and now I’ve misplaced the memory stick where I had saved those photos.

In any case I’m ready to once again show you some wonderful items from all over the grid.  It might be a little slow going at first as a knee injury has flared up and I’m limping at the moment.

Today I am featuring several items and I’ll start with what I am wearing.  It’s going to be a rather long post for one picture, so I will try and include more pictures next time.  The hair and hat is by No.Match and available at this newly opened round of On9, that started on September 9th.  No.Joke and it’s the name of the hair/hat combo and great for this fall weather that is upon us now.  The sweater top is by [Lakshmi] and also at On9.  It’s available in several colors and there is a skirt that is available as well to fit the top.

The Royalty Leggings I am wearing is a new release by Wazzer Works and will soon be available at the newest round of The Secret Affair that begins September 15th. This is the start of their Fall 2016 line, so hope to show you more of their creations soon.  The heels I am wearing is a new release by Empire and available at Collabor88.  The Hebe heels includes 15 colors in the color hud and they are mesh body compatible.

I’m holding a money duffel bag by (epia) available at their main store.  The name of the 100% mesh bag is “Make it Rain” and literally it can rain lindens. It’s HUD-controllable, and has the ability to throw money stacks that can pay real linden dollars to those who walk over or touch them.  The amount can be changed via the HUD.  It has 10 different texture/color options, and 4 bag versions that allows you to wear the bag on your hand, arm, chest or back.

The remaining items that I am featuring in today’s post is the egret, which is by TLC and it’s available at the Spoonful of Sugar festival that I mentioned in my last post benefits the Doctors without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontieres. Visit the website for more information.  The cherry trees in the background are the latest new release by Little Branch at On9, which are four seasons that can be accessed via the menu.  The pink and green bushes along the lit pathway are also by Little Branch and available at The Chapter Four event.

Lots more to come as I try to catch up again.

Taking off the grit and grime of everyday life

Epia 005 Close up

When I got this firefighter uniform, a new store release from (epia), also known as “Every Pixel is Art,” the thought of doing a scene of saving a cat from a tree came to mind.  Except someone beat me on the concept and so switching gears I recalled this animated water hose in my inventory and the scene sort of created itself.

Have a great Monday!

Make it a celebration everyday

017-2

The bears coming to the Arcade this round by BoOgErS are the cutest things. They each have a certain theme or holiday spirit to them.  As I was looking at them all I found myself drawn to this Cinco De Mayo bear, because of my ancestral heritage.   This is not the actual size as I supersized it and when I did the poses sort of then materialized for this picture.

Who says we can’t celebrate early right?

The southwestern home in the background is by Glas Houses called the Granelda is available at the Home & Garden Expo.  It is truly remarkable how much choices we have when it comes homes and decor and creating the home life we may only dream about.  For some it’s just creating something entirely different to what you may be used to… really the choice is yours.   The Granelda is quite roomy with large rooms and it has two fireplaces throughout the house.

The Expo is open until March 6th and just announced a Photo Contest!

It’s a case of who caught who

Pic 12

I was working the midnight shift in SL Town where it wasn’t so uncommon to find your usual unsavory and nonconformist types.  It happened so rapidly as I was cruising the streets that he suddenly appeared from the shadows of the side alley.  I quickly swerved to avoid to hit this suspicious tattooed character who was dressed in some off white assemble. That one eye face mask with a bat full of nails hanging from his back was surely a sign he was up to no good.

Pic 053

Muttering under my breath as I braced myself for the eventual impact against the fire hydrant just to avoid to hit this loose cannon.  I quickly got out of my vehicle with my nerves still intact and my hand firmly placed on my revolver as I moved to the other side to ensure that I hadn’t skimmed him with the patrol car.

Pic 044

He stood there erect and immovable, like a night predator watching his next victim approach.  No outward sign of injury as I cautiously got near.  There would be no need to call in my years of first aide training or to apply mouth to mouth resuscitation.  Clears throat.

Even before I could speak he maneuvered around me and caught me. Maybe. Looks can be deceiving. I think this last picture tells that the story can go a few ways.

Thanks ! (smirks) ❤

Epia 001

My sister PB gave me the keys to her house while she’s away and said make yourself at home and so I did.   I should send her a note letting her know she needs to make a pit stop on her return trip to restock her liquor cabinet.

In the meantime… “Salud!”

Cheers also for the new combat boots that (epia) has released for this round of FaMESHed.  The boots are mesh and 3D modeled to fit and come with 8 choices in texture for the boot and 3 for the metal.  They can also be re sized by HUD or manually.

Epia 016

This is a bit of  the rebellious nature I find myself in shining through in this post as I share with you some more items to be found during this month’s round of events.

Both the fringe suede top and skirt by MoDANNA are mesh and found at two different ongoing events right now.   There are several colors for both items and you will also find other styling pieces as well so that you can tailor fit your style.

The other item that I am featuring today is the workbench by (epia) available at this round of The Men’s Department.  While it has single and couple animations I decided to use a different pose as I wanted to make sure that the clothes were highlighted as well.
