Just some place to hide awhile

I went into the Autumn season with this picture, which is one of my favorite seasons. The weather is always much better around this time of year for me here in Florida.  I don’t get the colors of the season in my real life, which is why I love this season in SL as well and enjoy taking photos.

This post is a little catch up with previous releases by sponsors and also includes items from the just opened round of The Gacha Garden… take a look at credits for all the details.

Sweet friendships always refreshes the soul

Morning and Happy Friday!! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and while I have somewhat of a busy one with things I have to get done I’m looking forward to mine.

Today’s post is a collaboration with fellow blogger and someone I now call friend, Jules, who has her own blog at Sunshine & Sparkles.  It’s an appropriate name for her, as her personality is all sunshine and sparkles and I really like that about her. Plus she shares my sun sign of Aries, with our birthdays just days apart, so we’re finding that we have a lot in common including our feisty nature.  I think she has more patience than me and might not be as stubborn as I can be at times.  I know that’s hard to believe, but alas it’s true as much as I hate to admit it.  I do try to reign it in, because it’s not really endearing qualities to have.

Anyways, check out credits below for the amazing stuff we’re showing and as soon as Jules posts I’ll link up her blog once again here.

Have a fabulous rest of the day!

Girls night in

This is my first attempt at blending two photos together in Photoshop, so hopefully it’s not too bad. While it takes a little work there are some advantages to doing this. One is when you have several things to blog and you are wanting to show more items in a blog post.

I’m showcasing items from the current round of Cosmopolitan that ends on March 26th, so you still have plenty of time to get there and catch some great bargains. I’m also featuring a couple items from On9, another great event that is ongoing until the 28th of March.  The hair worn on the avatar on the floor is by Wasabi Pills, that can be found at Ultra and that event runs until April 15th.

Hope you have a great week ahead!

*********************************************************
The concept of COCOON is a house with many spaces inside and outside developed without interruption for the view. for the presence of large windows.  In close connection with the house is the swimming pool that becomes the entrance of the house itself.

Cocoon House is available PG & ADULT version.
The animations Menu is just ONE for all (to reduce to 0 sit /stand up constantly when customer decide to change area).
From inside the house you can sit on the objects and the starting point of the animation it is always the same
Start point is always the same and you receive a Menu with 3 areas.
POOL
LIVING
1ST FLOOR
The points of the house from which you can access the animated menus are
swimming pool: water

Simplify by sliding the mouse over these areas appears chair symbol (click the left mouse button)

ADULT VERSION:
n° 20 Single animations
n° 35 Cuddle couple animations
n° 76 Sex Couple animations

PG VERSION
n° 20 Single animations
n° 35 Cuddle couple animations

LIGHT SYSTEM
Near swimming pool there is a switch to change color/intensity/access

BONUS MESH POOL
I know how complicated terraforming in Second Life.
The ground is never perfect near the edges of an object!
For this reason I have added a “bonus mesh” you can use near the outer edge of the pool.  My advice is rez home and terraforming perfectly and, at the end, add the prim bonus on the edge of the pool.

You can use it as an extra space or stairs.

 

 

 

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.
