She will fall again, and again.

I still bear some scars from growing up as a tomboy and even some as a clumsy adult like the slanted backwards letter “t” on my ankle for falling over bed rails during the process of moving. It seems I can’t escape them in Second Life either. Saying that my scraped knees with band aid is a new release by ‘Things’ for the newest round of The Fantasy Collective that begins today. It comes with appliers for Slink, Belleza, Omega and TMP and a version without the band aid is also included.

I was pleasantly pleased when I saw the newest decor items that Little Branch recently released for the new round of Shiny Shabby. The wall butterflies that come in various colors and the wall clock also in several colors fit perfectly with my newly decorated home. I love having a decorated home in Second Life, though it does limit my space for creating scenes for blog posts. I tend to always find just one more thing that feels right at home and my available prim count goes even lower creating more of a challenge. Oh well, that’s another reason why derendering works so well.

I am also wearing a scarf that the designer of MeshedUp has released for the Fantasy Collective as well. I did a zoom in picture above to show you how pretty it is. You can find the scarf in several colors to fit just about any color combination that you’re wearing.

I think I love you.

“When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.” ― Louis de Bernieres, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

In a few days the newest round of the Perfect 10 event will begin featuring home and garden items. The event will run from the 1st of the month to the 15th and items will be exclusive at half or discounted prices only during the event. I am showing some of the stuff from Finishing Touches. The daybed that comes in a white and floral mint color comes packed with 46 single/couple animations and one of the lovely features of this bed is that if you touch the drawer below the daybed, it will open the trundle bed.

The rest of the set includes the rocking chair, the hanging frames, wall lanterns, bird cage and rugs.

[CIRCA] at Fit for a Princess

On September 8, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home1 Comment

I was a bit pensive and feeling weary as I was going through the poses on this ottoman when I came across this one pose that seemed to reflect and fit my mood very well. It’s always remarkable what a good night’s rest does to help restore your energy and balance and that’s always good for a Monday.

The ottoman is part of a new set that was released by [Circa] for this month’s round of “Fit for a Princess” event that runs until September 25.

The “Field of Roses” room set consists of the drapes & ottoman that has 10 grey-white fabrics at the touch of the menu. I chose to go with the pink roses on the grey fabric. There is also a bookshelf with a vase with flowers and several choices of area rugs that complete the set. I finished up my scene using some current arcade items.

A Little Cheer…

On February 2, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home, Role-Play2 Comments

First I will say that I don’t even watch sports. My family still will not let me live it down that I said touchdown at a baseball game almost 20 years ago. I don’t know anything about either team — other than I know they made it to the Superbowl this year.

Though I can still appreciate the craziness, fanatical and over the top love people have for this sport, my family included. Heck, my brothers, cousins and uncles had a Pre-Superbowl meeting on Wednesday just to line up what they each were going to take to the party today.

Since I like both Denver and Seattle equally having traveled to each city on many occasions I figured that I would cheer for both. 🙂

Happy Superbowl 2014 to everyone!
