Penthouse Please

The Cosmopolitan Room is celebrating a second anniversary and has some great bargains like this on the daring side little red dress that I couldn’t resist buying for very little lindens.  These heels made for slink feet that come in an assortment of colors for also a minimal amount.

Though I have to warn you ladies that you might get more than you bargained for.  I didn’t expect to be propositioned with an offer to get married and raise up 5 or 6 prim babies and live happily ever after.  Makes me kind of chuckle at the lines people use as a conversation starter today than lets say 20 years ago when I was more into the chat scene.  Though I must agree with his remarks.  If you can’t laugh at yourself and others in here, act silly and have a little fun and not take this too seriously, then don’t bother logging in.  I told him a simple hello still works and his response is that it might get you in the door, but after that you had better have game and be on your toes lest she lose interest.  I guess he makes a point as you know how finicky we women can be.  Plus it doesn’t hurt the ego when you’re complimented, even if I take those things with a grain of salt.

Taking a break from trying to decorate a new home I went to Collabor88 hoping it wouldn’t be so crowded to move around and shop freely.  It was better, though still fairly full and difficult to maneuver with the speed of my internet these days.  I found this luggage cart, which reminded me of this elevator prop and well it lead to doing this picture.

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin Patch

The last few weeks have been a little up and down for me and a large part is my own fault for allowing circumstances beyond my control to negatively get the better of me.  Though over the weekend I had a bit of an epiphany and accepted the circumstances in the best way possible by making a choice to let nature take its own course.   My seventy plus year old grandmother often reminds me that sometimes you have to let one door close to allow another to open.  Since she’s still kicking up a storm I guess she knows what she’s saying.

Feeling a bit of the tension now leaving me I found myself wanting to bring out little me, because she makes me laugh at myself.  I picked up these pumpkins during a 25L Tuesday, which I might add this list is mostly role-play items.  I have always loved the idea of a pumpkin patch and unfortunately here in my part of the world you only find them in the yard of a few churches who decide to sell pumpkins to raise funds.  Just not the same thing and it’s a good thing I’m in Second Life, because I’m definitely not wearing mommy clothes for such a place.

Thank you to all of you who reached out to me in-world to find out how I  was doing.  The bruise on my arm is about the length of the tattoo in this picture and is now changing color signifying it’s on its way back to normal.  My knee is still tender and I can’t laugh without feeling the soreness.  Nothing like a fall to bring you back to reality.

Even if my real self is sore and feeling like I’ve been battered my pixels feel pretty darn good in this stunning dress from Junbug.  It was available during the mystery gacha that is now over.  I’m not certain if it will be available at the store — though worth checking out.  If not just ding me in-world I’m sure that I have an extra dress and stole and my inventory will surely thank you.

The song “Listen” by Beyonce has been playing in my head for the last week or so.  It’s a great song and I remember hearing it for the first time during the period that the movie “Dreamgirls” was released.

Why it’s playing in my head is another story, but it seems to fit my mood today.  Just being lazy on this Driftwood Hammock by 8f8.   I’m also sporting a new skin just to try something a little different.

Playing Dress Up2

“HAPPY girls ARE the prettiest.”
~ Audrey Hepburn

I could never wear rollers when I was younger.  My scalp is so sensitive that any pulling and stretching would be quite uncomfortable.  Even today I can’t stand anyone really touching or doing my hair.  Now there are so many things available for straightening and curling your hair that seeing rollers on anyone is probably a thing of the past.

When this hair with rollers was released a few months ago I thought of doing a post with little me with a girly theme of playing dress up.  The opportunity to create that scene could not have come at a better time then now with the new vanity set that CIRCA has released.   The set comes with all the decor items you see on top of it and the seat comes with 28 animations that are a combination of beauty with wearable props and sits.

The vanity set I am featuring is the color cream, but you can find other colors here.

“….and the winner is… ”

I have never been much into sports and rarely… better said almost never do I take the time to sit and just watch a sports game.  I don’t dislike sports.  Its just never been my interest and pretty much the only games I’ve ever sat down to watch were the little league games my nieces and nephews participated in as they were growing up.  The few live events that I tagged along with friends were always fun if just seeing people’s reactions to some action out on the field.   It’s pretty amazing to see people’s enthusiasm or moments of insanity if their team fails to live up to their expectations.

Today in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Italy plays against Costa Rica.   You could say I am a little bias for team Italy… and I will be cheering them on from my imaginary sidelines.  After seeing the availability of these cute toddleedoo world cup uniforms it was fun bringing out the little me to take pictures with.

Snapshot_0645

I am also showing the World Cup Snacks Stadium that Aphrodite Shops released that is mesh that is made up of all sorts of snacks for you to enjoy your virtual experience of watching the soccer games with family and friends.  The stadium dispenses over a dozen items for you to munch on.

X is for…(challenge)

X is for 2

I thought maybe this letter would be my biggest challenge in finding something in my inventory. Though as I looked through I saw X-Clusives Animations as a store inside my folder marked “X” for animations.   I had completely forgotten about this store.   Seeing the name reminded me of one the first items that I purchased for my landscape decor.  This covered bridge, which by the way has been re-textured from the original texture. If my land was a bit bigger this is something that I would still use today.

Only two more letters to complete this alphabet challenge.   It’s been a fun challenge to do, and it’s given me an opportunity to dig through my inventory and revisit items I hadn’t given thought to in a long time.

T, U, V is for…(challenge)

Picture 2

The TRUTH is I am going to play catch up again.  You probably got my all caps as the designer I am using to represent my letter “T” for the alphabet challenge.  The hair is called “Maiko” that Truth had for the Arcade this past month.  This picture also represent my letter “U” as the pose is from Unorthodox Poses, from the series called Humble.

Picture 1

The denim jacket that I am wearing is from Vive Nine, which represents the letter “V” for today. Though V also stands for Village and I wanted to show a few pictures from this cute picturesque placed called “Little Village.”

Picture 7

It’s like the perfect postcard and I did nothing other than crop, using the region wind-light.

Picture 8

I always admire the work that is put into creating spaces like this, just disappointing that you always find these places empty.  The bright side of that is you can take pictures without anyone getting in your way.

Picture 6

The final picture is just a close up of some of the little houses.

Crying 4

I put this picture together last night, so today I get to post a little earlier than usual.  When I was looking for something that began with the letter “O” it was hard to come up with anything that didn’t begin with like orange and I didn’t have too many designers with the letter either.   Though as I was going through some of my of dated folders (a habit of dumping everything I purchase into a folder and dating it) I ran across this sweater from OhmEga.   For the life of me I don’t remember buying it or do I recognize the designers name.   However, as I put it on to see how it looked, the sweater is actually very nice.  Plus it’s very comfy to relax and lounge in.   My mood certainly called for a nice huge cup of ice cream to make it all better.

I am also featuring this cute bunny that Ohmai released for the Love Donna Flora event and since its Easter time, it seemed perfect to include.
