Ring side ticket

“In the boxing ring of life, it’s not how hard you can hit, but rather how many times you can get hit and keep moving forward.” ~rocky

Over the weekend on Sunday after having dinner with family members we all enjoyed time together playing cornhole. It’s a lawn game where players take turns throwing bags of corn at a raised board that has a hole at the far end of it. I’m not much of a sports person, but it’s always fun getting into the spirit of playing with my family.

Though playing with some of my siblings means you have to be able to handle their intended good nature teasing. My younger brother is a big sports fanatic whose played sports since he was young. He loved to taunt me that I took after the other side of the family when my throws didn’t quite make it. I had to remind him that at least I wasn’t whining and crying like he did when I beat him at marbles when we were young.

Well this month Genre is back with a sports theme. Today I’m featuring this gold trophy by Bliensen + MaiTai, which is available now at the newest round that started on May 15th and will run through June 12th. I’m showing only the 1st place trophy, but there is a 2nd and 3rd place trophies as well.

I was after boxing gloves when I played this gacha and ended up getting the mystery item, which is the boxing ring that came in handy for this post. Most of the items except the top and shorts that are from Collabor88 this month are gacha items and detailed below.

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

This is a quick post as I have just enough time before I have to go out the door this morning. I’m showing this lovely morning glory spring set by [CIRCA], currently available as a gacha set at the Dreams Gacha Fair. I listed all the pieces used in the picture, but there is a few more pieces that complete the set. The sit pose I am using is not from the ottoman, but it is actually a pose by [evoLove], which is available at the newest round of GENRE.

I’m also featuring some landscape items by Little Branch. The wild grass and the white cherry blossom trees available now at the current round of the LTD The Event.

All these spring colors are sure to brighten up your days. If the spring colors don’t do it, check out this adorable English bulldog. He is cute, isn’t he? I’ve yet to name him, but I think that I have a perfect name in mind.

Enjoy your Saturday!

I had hoped to get this blog out first thing in the morning, though good intentions don’t always work out. I have had one of those debilitating headaches most of the day and finally succumbed to taking a pain killer to ease the intensity.

Most of you already know Jian for their quality home and garden items for most genres in Second Life. Now you’re in for a treat as they start to expand their line under JianJAM, which is their division for jewelry, accessories, apparel, shoes and a whole lot more. Today I’m wearing a dress that they created for the Mix Event, which runs until August 31st. The dress as you see me wearing is a tube dress and is available at the main store. It comes in three different patterns and each pattern comes in 7 different colors, so that’s a lot of choices for you to pick from.

I truly love this necklace from !dM, or also known as deviousMind. There’s just something really sexy about a necklace that hangs down your back and was the perfect accessory for this dress. You can find it currently at Genre in several colors.

I’ve been fighting a headache most of the day and sleep didn’t help much so I figured it could help to distract myself a little by blogging some items recently sent to me. I need to mention that my blogging may become a bit erratic or non-existent as I deal with a personal situation. I don’t have it in mind to abandon ship, but my real life will always take precedence so just bear with me if I have to disappear for a period of time.

I bought this outfit about a week ago, because it made me smile as I recalled growing up as a tomboy and loving to play in the dirt. I’ve probably have shared before how my family loves to remind each other of those things we did as children and one fond memory they have of me is having to literally drag me from underneath this place I was at playing in the dirt. You could say I was a willful child in those days and that trait has never really worn off. What can I say? I didn’t turn out that bad.

Jian has released these tomodachi trees for this round of Genre. The theme is Anime. There is a static tree and a tree with a dancing animation. They both have a texture change option, so you can customize both the bark and the leaf colors.

The other items that I’m featuring are the lavender and green shrubs by Little Branch for this round of The Liaison Collaborative, which are 100% mesh and low impact.

I had flashbacks of the movie Grease, which was based on the adventures and romances of high school kids in the 1950s. It’s been a few years since I last saw it on television during one of those marathon weekends of older still popular movies. If you watched and remember the movie you will recall many scenes were shot in a diner type setting where all the kids hung out.

Want to create your own 50s scene then these items by [CIRCA] are perfect for just that. You can find all these retro diner items at a discount at this current round of Genre that unfortunately ends tomorrow, so you have just one more day to get there.

I tried playing with shadows again even changing my settings and all it produced was frustration when I crashed every time I hit the save button. Finally, I just settled on using a texture as the background and went with it. The other thing I am noticing is that I’m losing some resolution in photos, but before I start thinking of buying a new computer I switched from using the jpeg format to the png. The pictures come out slightly larger though it did make a difference. These are just items from some of the fantasy role-play events that are happening on the grid.

I tried something a little different and that is using a texture as a background and then just added some light in a couple of places. I much prefer setting up a scene or going on location though using this method can be useful at times.

Happy Thursday!
