The view from sky high

Well it’s been a lazy day as it was a holiday so I got to stay home. I only made one trip out to the store to grab things for tonight’s dinner.  It’s panini sandwiches in case you’re interested.  It’s fast and easy and very little clean up.

I’m showcasing the Modine Collection by Fancy Decor in collaboration with Commoner out now at Collabor88.  The collection is available in individual items or discounted as a fatpack.  I am featuring them using the Forest Skybox & Scene by (Milk Motion) also available at Collabor88.

The other items being featured today are the dancing flamingos, which are a part of a gacha set by Yokai at The Liaison Collaborative. The fox is by JIAN and it’s a previous release.

Have a great rest of your day or night!

It’s another of those days when I’m not able to gather my thoughts enough to write anything interesting or of value, so instead of boring you I’m just going to quit while ahead.  Though make sure to check out credits for all the wonderful things that can be found at this round of the Arcade and FaMESHed.

Have a great one!

The little moments with my twin from another mother…

Hello everyone! A new week and a day away from a whole new month — aren’t you excited? I am.  This month wasn’t one of the best and it will be good to put it behind.

Today’s  post is another collaboration with Lotus Mastroianni, fellow blogger and friend that call each other twins, hence the title.  It’s not because we look alike as she’s pretty light skinned and I’m pretty tanned as we both are in real life too.  Though from the time we met and began to share certain facts about our different Latin cultures and familial backgrounds we found some commonality and ever since she made me her Mexican twin.  If you don’t know her work, you really ought to check it out as she’s extremely talented.

Check out credits below for everything shown and have a fabulous rest of the day!!

Timeless aging

If you’re familiar with Death Row Designs, that is also known as DRD, then you know the quality and the overall awesome creativity they are known for.  They recently introduced their new concept; the Shadow Box, a monthly subscription box that has a bit of mystery to it. Something new and unknown once a month, with a bonus reward if you purchase every box in the series, which is 6 months.

I’m going to link you to the Death Row Designs website where you can learn all about this new subscription box and how to subscribe. You will not be at all disappointed if you do.

Just opening the box is an amazing experience! You click the nicely wrapped box tied with rope, which sets it to start animating to unwrap itself and as the paper and rope fall to the side a beautiful standing jewelry box is revealed that also animates opening its doors on the side and top and you automatically receive two folders containing the light and dark sets of the series.

I’m showing the items in the light version set. As you can see they are remarkably well done.  The sofa and chair have sit animations as well as the piano chair with objects having a land impact that range from 2 to 18.

Enjoy!

What if life gives you bananas?

You eat them of course. If you google, you’ll find there a lot of reasons why munching on a firm yet creamy banana is good for you. It’s a happy fruit that possesses nutrients that relieve stress and helps keep you upbeat and it’s also great for an energy boost among many other things.

There is even a new proverbial saying of “a banana a day keeps the doctor away,” so eat a banana or have sex as you’re probably going to see the frames and think of it anyway.  It does have some of the same benefits… just saying.

Details of everything shown is below in credits.

Enjoy!

Daily living

Cosmopolitan is on a new round having just opened three days ago and as always lots of great fashion, poses, decor and much more to be found. I’m showcasing some of the decor in these pictures.  Cinphul has the ‘Forget Me Collection’ in two versions. I’m showing the [death] version and consists of the console, chair, step stool and two vases.   Luc Boutique has these metallic fern lamps in a few colors. Puke Rainbows has decorative flower art for the wall and OHeMo has boxy decor for wall and also for floor, which those have legs.  The trees, hill and grass shown outside the window are by Little Branch.

The other item that I’m featuring is the bed by [Merak], which is currently at Shiny Shabby.  It’s got a land impact of 16, and texture change for pillows and cover.

Have a great Thursday!

Some days are just meant for grilling

I knew soon we would be seeing the fall colors start to make their way into Second Life.  This is one of my favorite seasons to photograph so I’m really looking forward to seeing some great home and garden decor for the season.

Today I am featuring items by Ionic at The Chapter Four round.  The Summer Island Gacha has 13 commons and 3 rares to the set.  To see the full set you can visit Ionic’s Flick here and here to see the complete gacha.  I’m also showing items at The Liaison Collaborative.  The country love sign is by [Merak], the copper and weathered lamps are by Plastik and the three pairs of decor rubber boots are by [ kunst ].

Everything used in the picture as always is included in credits.

Have a great one!

Far from home, but closer than ever

It’s a lovely Tuesday morning, despite it being 81°F outdoors and if you add the humidity on top of that it’s pretty uncomfortable for someone who isn’t used to the heat. I’m used to it. Preferably indoors with air condition and a refreshing drink. That reminds me that I have a mango to slice into later on.

Today I’m showing fashion from two events that opened up in the last days, On9 and The Liaison Collaborative.  Both great events that have a mixture of fashion, decor and poses and lots more, so make sure to go check them out.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!
