A guide catering to the shopaholics of second life. You know, those of us that when we see linden up in our display.. we just have to buy it all. We are all caught up in this love affair.
I know I already posted today but.. I couldn't help it. One of my favorite stores has a new release/VIP gift, and like.. it's so adorable I just had to rush and tell you all about it. So.. this Cross my heart shirt.. like.. totally free. If you're in the group. Now let me tell you a little about it. Auxiliary VIP groups is one of the best VIP groups in the grid in my opinion. There's constantly free gifts, unlike Mon Tissu, which still highly disappoints me since the joining fee is like 1.2k, and it's insane expensive, and they haven't changed the gifts since I joined! It is 1k to join the group, however, it is totally worth it! There's new gifts every couple months, or every month... just often enough so that I feel I'm getting my worth from joining. And you earn 10% of your purchase towards store credit, so.. yeah. I'm so glad I joined it's not even funny. So.. if you want to pick up this cute little purple tee, along with some other amazing gifts, head over to Auxiliary, join, and get it, trust me, it's worth it. It even inspired a quick blog post because I loved it so much. Welp.
So I'll admit, today I was very lazy with the editing. Don't hate me, I wanted something just simple and quick so that I could get this out to you, and work on a major post that I have. Two actually. I havent' done home blogging in a while, but really they take sooo long. But.. well, while I have those two in the works, I really didn't want to stop with the flow of the blog that i have going on currently, I really do want to try to blog daily, minus the days where I'm hospitalized, and another is coming because I have to get surgery. Welp. So that's why I'm trying to blog as often as I can! So.. today I have just a quick LOTD.
First off, I love this dress by E! I really do love her stuff, I found her through fameshed, and absolutely fell in love, but this little number.. well, I couldn't get it off. I wanted to do a very casual safari look for it, since.. well, the team for it was safari! I paired it off with a feathery hair that I love from Taketomi, a new release by Atooly, because... you all know that I do love them headbands, and some League wear and accessories that helped the look all around. Just because you're going hunting, doesn't mean you can't do it in style!
Just for the record, Daisy has got to be one of my least favorite Disney characters. She's so.... urgh, I don't even know how to describe it but like.. she's so naggy,I really really hate her. But.. Nat made the challenge, and I answered, okay?! Can't hate on me for doing it, it was hard, but.. well, there it is, Daisy and crap. I really hard a hard time finding something to go over the dress that was purlple and i liked it. Probably because I hate the color purple too. God, poor Daisy, I'm just bashing on her, and I'm probably getting a lot of Daisy lovers hating me right now but.. you have to admit, she's a biotch! What was Walt thinking!?
Anyways, I dug in the depths of my inventory, and had a back in time experience. I had a good friend in SL that left, and I got sad face. She owned Fishy Strawberry, and.. I miss her. We used to have so much fun together! Our children! Think of the children! But anyways, I'm still very happy thinking that she has moved on to better things in life, but.. I still think abut her every now and then, and well, with that.. I had to use this coat, I paired it off with pink and white shoes from a past Collabor88 season,and the mon tissu white dress, and.. of course, pearls. The skin is still from the same whisper pack.. this time in Anime color! I actually like it, it is pale, but it has a pink subtle tone that I love. So.. that's about it, Disneybound as Daisy. :/
Today is Bandanna day, which means.. it's time to ditch our pretty little hair, and show our support for those kids that are losing their gorgeous lucks to this horrible disease. It's hard to see them suffering. I am speechless, I can't imagine a mother going through seeing their child suffering like this.. it's unfair. So today, in the last day of this wonderful event we know as Hair Fair, it's time to show the support. I thought long and hard about how I wanted to portray this.. and I thought.. the best way to do it, was to be yourself.
You might be losing your hair like those children, I know I am! It really doesn't matter, and I'm sorry I'm lacking the right words for this, but.. I'm actually in tears writing this. But I guess what I'm saying is.. it doesn't matter what you look like, you're always a queen or a king. Just have to learn to love yourself. What's outside..it doesn't matter, it will go away. All we need is what's inside, the small things that make us happy. So.. regardless what your position is today, or your health, or.. just whatever, just be yourself, and love yourself unconditionally for it. Like.. for myself, I'm a geek, I'm a dork, I like clothes, and half of the time in RL, I do look like this.. sue me, I'm a total geek, and you know what? I love that about me! It's what makes me unique and fun to be around.
I want to thank all the sponsors for this wonderful event, every designer that was able to put all the petty differences, and all the bs aside for this event, and I want to thank every single shopper too that has made this event possible, because of you all, a kid will be able to smile when they get a new wig, a part of whom they were before this horrible disease hit them. It's beautiful, really, to see the community coming together for such a big and wonderful event, year after year, like Hair Fair. So thank you, here's to many more years of Hair Fair, and more years where SL residents can contribute to the smile of a child that really needs it. And just remember, despite everything, despite whatever you feel is wrong with you.. just know.. Love yourself, and be yourself. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's what makes you beautiful.
Up in melancholy hill, there's a plastic tree. Okay, you're not here to see my awesome lyric typing singing skill while I sing. But.. there was a challenge somewhere out there, I think, or maybe someone was planning to make a challenge where you were inspired by song lyrics for your post. I was! I did it! I absolutely love the Gorillaz, and this song is sooo cute and so me, So.. yeah, there you go, challenge accepted, even if it wasn't a challenge, and done! Bam.
So.. today there's two newness on the release of new stuff. One.. Essences released their new line, Whisper. I love it. For a moment I thought that the skin was too pink, and I didn't care for it, but.. now I just absolutely love it. Look at the nose! And the eyes, and just.. so adorable, I absolutely love it. amazing job. Now, I am going to be completely honest, one of the things about Essences is that I don't like a lot of her tones, but I absolutely love the light rose, and the sunkissed. My two favorite ones, I find that she sometimes gets too close to a hue, like.. either too red, or too green, but the execution of the skin, the detale of it, and just the softness of it, I completely love. And the eyebrows. They grow on you. So.. I am wearing the sunkissed version of it, and I'm trying to change things up, still trying to figure out the new look with this skin because.. I absolutely love it.
Lark also has a new upcoming release. This cute little bathing suit that is just.. completely adorable. The red polka dot made me think Minnie Mouse, and if you don't know by now that I'm a huge fan of three things, Doctor Who, Disney, and Harry Potter.. well.. you need to go back and do some reading! I couldn't help but to put on my Mouse ears, and go around in this cute little piece. My favorite part of this swimsuit has got to be the back. One piece on the front, two piece in the back, and I had to show that off. So.. yeah, there's your Sunday newness for today! I hope you all enjoy!
Growing up, Sleeping Beauty has always been one of my favorite movies. Though.. I'll be honest, it wasn't for Aurora, it was the pink and blue fairy, AND Maleficent. I know it sounds weird, but I've always been captivated by Maleficent's character. Younger, I was afraid of her. Like.. that scene with Aurora following the green wisp of light along the corridor.. the music, all of it, it was just.. so eerie. I used to cry in that scene every time. Literally, just.. petrified of it. But then I started to grow up, and I started admiring the work that Disney did on her, the fact that Maleficent was just.. evil. Pure evil. I mean.. you go to Disney, when you watch the Fantasmic! show in Disneyworld... they use her almost as the queen of evil.. darker and more sinister than the Evil Queen herself. Which.. let's face it, she wasn't that evil, she was just vain to the point of insanity really. But Maleficent.. just.. everything about her screamed evil. I loved it. And now with the new movie coming out.. like.. I really hope they don't ruin that. I love her as she is.
Anyways, the challenge is Aurora. And I wanted to do the mix up of the two fairies. You probably remember how they used to battle each other to turn the dress into pink or blue.. ending up in something like this:
So.. I mused for days on how to do this, I wanted to do a dress, and then mix it like that in photoshop.. But.. that wasn't the challenge. So.. I figured it out. I had to include both colors in it! It wasn't a choice about pink or blue.. it was merging the two of them into one look. Anyways, I grabbed the top from one of the newer stores in grid, well, making a come back really - okkbye, which I absolutely love. I don't really like bright pink, so the fact that it was soft and sweet was perfect for me, added a headband from Lark, since I didn't have the right tiara for her, and just.. used the Snow white at hand to give it a little bit more of modern edge/attitude. And finished it off with the blue theme with jeans from Maitreya! The end result was a more modern and relaxed Aurora look that looks casual enough to pull off, and well.. still eludes to all the stuff from the movie, one of my favorite parts anyways. Enjoy!
So, if you don't know who Donna Flora is.. you've practically been living under a rock. Okay, exaggerating, sorry! But.. Donna Flora is by far one of the biggest, and oldest names in jewelry. She got some devastating news as of recently, and Second Life has come together in order to help her out. She's battling cancer now, and we all wish her the best of luck in her battle. It's always really nice to see SL come together like this though, like.. instead of all the hate, and the annoying battles that happen in SL, it's really nice to see people come together and try to help each other out. To me, that's what SL and the experience of it all is about. Not trying to bring other people down, but trying to help each other up. Not tearing down, but building. There's been a lot more tearing down lately than usual, I mean, I've even felt it, so.. nice change! I guess. But.. I decided to compile a cute look with a couple of items for the Love Donna Flora event.
Also, the Seraphim social is up and running, and one of my favorite items in this necklace from Lark. I just love it, and the symbolism of it. So.. let me tell you a little bit about it. The Seraphim Social is an event that it's all about reading a book, and then designers make an item based on the book. It's actually a pretty cool concept that Lashae has created, and I loved it, had to get on board any way that I could. Now if only I could stop playing SL long enough to actually read.. it would be better, right!? But this month, for the opening month, the book chosen was The Host. And even though I'm not a HUGE fan of Stphanie Meyer, well.. I have to admit.. the movie wasn't half bad. Wasn't Twilight, but then again, I might not have hated Twilight half as much without freaking Stewart kid.. at any rate, I think I might actually pick up this read! This necklace represents the two souls inside of the body, and like.. any ways, it's really cool, and I love it, and I'm a sucker for things with a lot of meaning behind it, so.. yeah, love, and worth a pick up! Make sure to visit this event and see the awesome creativity of some of the SL designers in the grid. For sure more to come on this throughout the week.
Rumor has it that FateWear is coming out with a new line. It's going to be called FatePlay. Really, I'm extremely excited over this. I love Damien's style, so when I heard that he would be coming out with something that girls could wear, and something that was really well made.. well... I fan girled a little. I know I shouldn't but.. yeah, I did. First of all, I love his stuff, second of all, one of the things I hate about rp'ing medieval style, or anything of the sort.. there's not enough quality mesh out there! So this is huuuuuge if you're a roleplayer, and really a must have. the quality of the clothes is what you'd expect about of Damien, nothing but the best, and in all honesty, this makes me want to rp again. So that's one of the rumors floating around, that is nothing short of completely true! FatePlay Mainstore will open in the FateIsland sim, and with it, you'll be able to get some of his most popular costume- like releases for Fantasy Fair, in different colors! So.. make sure to be able to get into that as soon as it opens! You really don't want to be left behind.
Rumor also has it that Berry has done another Meme challenge. This week is all about Bucketlists. I guess this has a specially space in my heart because.. Talia Castellano has passed away from her battle with cancer. You might remember her for this little bit:
At any rate, I was really sad to hear she passed, but she did leave behind her bucketlist. It was posted on facebook, and you can find it in that link, and the idea is.. we do her bucketlist for her. Just one, or all of the things, it doesn't matter, but I think that list really makes us realize how beautiful life is, and how to appreciate the little things in life. Pesonally, me this weekend, I'll be sending a message in a bottle, I can't wait! But.. now I have to think of an SL bucketlist. And this wasn't easy, guys, specially since in SL, you are free to do as you wish, and so many of my things have already come true.. it's hard to pick a couple.. so.. I guess I'll try, don't sue me if it turns out to just be funny, because.. I can't think of anything and I'll be probably writting it down while it comes to my mind. Don't hate too hard!
1. Remove all bling, body oil, and clicky heels from the grid. Bothing bothers me in sl more than this, seriously, I see it, and I want to stab my eyes out. Bling is not cute, no matter how you put it. It wasn't cute in 07, muchless now. Body oil makes me think you need a shower. And the clickie shoes thing.. just.. urgh, heels don't sound so loud, if I can hear from the other end of the store, I'm going to think you're King Kong in heels. No. Just no. I would love to figure out a way to murder these things out of the grid.
2. I'm probably going to get hell for this but.. I would have fun making a script to pop huge prim boobies: Dear God. You've probably seen it, the boobs that are bigger than the whole body. I want to get a needle and pop them. I know.. I know this sounds terrible, but.. that's the only thing I can think of. It would be so much fun to like.. make a needle that would pop them. :x that's all I'm saying, I'm going to get the Tango girls after my butt for this. I sorry!
3. Own a Harry Potter adult sim: Okay, so what i mean by this is.. there's much more to Harry Potter than Hogwarts, don't get me wrong, love me some Hogwarts, but the kiddy rp.. not always my style, sometimes I want to have some evil wicked dark witch fun. And not have to teach. A ministry sim, and everything would be awesome! with a muggle London around too so people can rp muggles too, that would be sooooo much fun! Yeah.. pervs, you thought I was going for sexy time. Psyche!
4. Own a prefab store: I'm trying really really hard to learn how to make mesh, so I want to open up a prefab home store. It would be fun, and I think sl needs more of the selection for family homes, so yeah! that's one of the dreams I'm working to achieve.
5. Stay away from drama: Lol, if only it could happen. SL is always going to be filled with drama. I just.. I wish I could stay away from it, and not even hear about it for a week. Too much to ask? Urgh.
So that's really all I can think of, and... we'll see if that even ever happens, but.. they're cool ideas! Maybe one day. Until then, I'll keep up with my blogging and learning how to work photoshop. Enjoy the credit guys!
I did warn that I got a lot of hair, right? I think so... well, more hair fair!
Hair Fair.. honestly one of the biggest events of the year. I get so giddy when I see it come about. And I still have more hair. Really, this is only part II and I'm not even blogging all the goodies I got, only my favorite styles that I found. I'm still irked because I keep hearing people say that it wasn't good. Like.. I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yet at the same time, I have those friends ask me where I got the hair I'm wearing. I'm just all like.. Err... well... Hair fair, it's magical. I have lost count of how many times I've sent people packing to hair fair, like.. come on guys! Walk through it! There's soooo many new names just.. It makes me sad to see that you're not taking the full advantage, and discovering! There's so much more to hair than Exile, and Wasabi Pills, and Lelutka, and Truth.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love those stores guys, prove is here, all three releases of Lelutka are in my favorites' list, but.. I guess I just tried to go out of my comfort zone and see what else there was. Like.. Baiatice and Auxiliary being in the line up. Ummm... Excuse me! Since when? And I'm not saying this is a bad manner, far from it, they're two of my favoirte stores, so... if anything I just got really excited. And they didn't disappoint me! Far from it, I was excited to see what they came out with. I know that Auxiliary has dabbled in hair before, just never seen something like this. And the Baiatice hair, well, that's for sure worth a second look. Then you have Alice Project. A lot of the times, her hair doesn't really fit my style, and it took me forever to color my hair because I bought the Create Your Own instead of Infinity, and tried using my infinity HUD on it. Well. Woops. These two hair styles though left me drooling. Alice really outdid herself for hair fair.
Lelutka, dear God. Lelutka can't ever do wrong in my eyes when it comes to hair, and one of them had a fades pack, I literally just threw my hands up in the hair and said good bye to my money, and bought. Loved. Eaters Coma also had a really nice release. They're not a huge name in hair yet, but I think they should be, a lot of their releases are just so cute, I totally love. And Last but not least, Clawtooth. I'm a huge Clawtooth fan, and I've blogged a couple of the Hair Fair looks as well, So.. yup! That's rounds off Part Two of Hair Fair. Stay tuned for the second part. After I really get some sleep. All this editing is making me die. A little. Each day. Kidding, but! I hope you enjoyed this, and it opened your eyes up to some more amazing hairs that you can find at Hair Fair. Don't forget, part of your purchase goes to helping Wigs for Kids! So each Hair that you buy helps make a difference in a child's life that is battling with cancer. I can't even begin to say how much this organization means to be, so be generous! And chop to your heart's delight. Sash out!

Okay, so after the craziness with hair fair, that still is being worked on, I needed a day break, but.. I'm back people! And what I have today is something that's pretty cool. Auxiliary has always been one of my favorite stores, and now Tyr actually released these amazing sweats that... well, to be honest, if she didn't have teal, I might have defriended her and cried forever, but.. Mint is close enough. Luckily. Anywayyyys, away from the random crazy rambles, I was actually pretty astounded when I put them on. They're not my type of release normally, I like more girly styles, but they're just so well made, the folds, the way it moves with the body, it's just absolutely amazing, and this picture doesn't even begin doing it justice, they're seriously worth the money and the trying it on. I also have a new tat that a friend of mine made, and well, it's cute, so showing it off, actually two of them, can't really see the neck one too well, but it's actually a snake! Like Slytherin. I'm normally petrified of snakes, but this is cartoonish and cute enough to set me at ease and get my Slytherin spirit on. Finally we have the hair from Auxiliary, it's available in Hair Fair, and they have some pretty cool packs that let you change you and be original when you want. So.. I think that's about it, I'm feeling pretty crazy and random, so I'm going to leave it at that before I bore you all!
Not really what you were expecting, eh? It's okay, I wasn't expecting to go this direction either, but.. somehow it happened. I tried doing something cheeful and happy and very whimsical, and ended up being thrown away and replaced by this. I don't know but.. I just got the idea in my head of a little girl lost in an asylum, escaping to Wonderland. If you look at the floor you can find the Cheshire cat somewhere even. But.. yes.. this ended up being my interpretation of Alice, which is funny, really love the movie, guess sometimes the way we feel in our life manifests through here. A lost person escaping to wonderland. Sounds like me escaping to second life. Oh well.. I did come up with a cute little outfit for it that i hope you love! I don't think the necklace and bracelet are for sale anymore, they were for a limited event, but.. everything else is up for grabs. I just really couldn't help myself, I needed to have them on for this! The pose from Collab also helped give this picture the exact whimsical feel that it needed. So.. yeah, this was my post for Disneybound, Alice edition! Enjoy!

Hair fair was a huuuuuge event, and I have lots and lots of favorites from different stores. I tried to do just one big post about it.. but.. I couldn't do it justice, so.. I'm going to start showing off some of the looks that I loved!
Welp. So if you've been wondering where I've gone to, I've actually been working on these. They're soooo amazing. I mean, I keep hearing that a lot of people are disappointed with Hair Fair, but I think it's because they didn't dare and try to go to places that they hadn't been to before. There's so many new designers that I was just.. mindblown. I mean, for example, Elisa by .Olive. Olive is just starting to make hair, and it's quite amazing really, but because it isn't one of the big hair names, it probably gets skipped. No, look at the amazingness of this hair style, and just.. aww at it, because.. that's got to be one of my favorite hair styles in SL. And Redmint. I mean, I had never heard of the brand in sl before, sorry, but.. when I saw this hair I was completely blown away. Granted, I probably will never wear it except for ablog post, but it's so original that I just had to have it. Then we have Lamb. I am a huuuuge fan of Lamb Baillic. Her work always leaves me wanting more, and well, she didn't disappoint me in hair fair, by far some of my favorite looks in Hair fair. Then.. OhMai started doing hair. I mean, what can't this woman do? This cute look that's so soft and whimsical left me speechless. I completely love. Esk-imo, I've seen around in Hair Fair before, but I never really purchased from them, but this bad girl hair is totally adorable! And Wasabi Pills, I mean.. what's not to love about a big puffy hair?
My point is, when you go to hair fair, don't go for the big names, Exile, Lelutka, and those.. go for the whole fair, take a full day and try everything on! I mean, there's so many new places that ventured into hair, that are sooo worth taking a look at guys, so go with an open mind, and remember, portions of your sale go to helping Wigs for Kids, so.. it's a huuuge help you guys are doing it, and I mean, the fact that we all keep going to this fair year after year, it also opens up a huge oportunity in the years to come for this event to be able to keep going. So, with that said, go and explore, have fun! And I'll be posting more about Hair Fair for you guys to oogle at, and drool. Yes. Drool at my amazing hair collection that I spent a small fortune on. Bwahahaa.

I added the store and names to the picture to make it easier on you all, and I used the same look. Though I did change the pose. For sanity's sake, this will be the one set of pictures that I don't post poses for, mainly because I want the focus to be kept on the amazing hair at Hair Fair!
So I've always loved Disneybound, but with everything going on, I've kind of put it in the back burner, I hate to say it, but.. no more! I did a disneybound you guys! I decided to do Dumbo this week, because.. he's so adorable, and who doesn't love a flying elephant, like.. it's the most adorable thing ever! It was kind of easy, to be honest, I mean, color scheme is gray, red and yellow, mostly gray. Maybe I took it too literal, but.. oh well, I still love the outfit, thought it was something maybe different from teh direction that a lot of people went. I did use the elephant necklace though to just tie the whole theme of Dumbo into it, and I used Kuzco's bow, from Noodle's last arcade round, to finish off the scheme. It's a cheat, I know, but it worked really well, even if it was meant for another character! Anyways, on to the credits! After not sleeping for two days, it feels a little odd to like.. finally write or something, I still need coffee!
I've got this friend that every Monday morning makes memes! And I love doing it, mainly because my readers get a really good feel of who I am. This week it's all about questions, and well, I thought I'd try my best to answer them honestly, without offending anyone. There's so much drama around, sadly, and I suppose it's just a big part of SL, no matter where you go, but.. I want to have, no drama. I've got enough of that in RL. So.. on to it? I hope you guys actually enjoy reading these, I don't... know? But I think it's a good way for you to get to know the person the behind the pretty pictures.
How do you deal with criticism? In the past I wasn't the best with this, I'll admit. I got very easily offended, and got my feelings hurt. I mean, a big part of my change lately might be the medication I'm on that just makes me not give a crap, or maybe I've been through so much that I honestly don't care, but.. I handle it really well, I can separate it, and take it to fix and work on myself, if that makes sense? Like.. I don't take offense. And if you mean offense.. Honey, I don't care, but, I think this has actually helped me out a lot in my time in Second Life now, and allowed my blog and SL adventures to become more enjoyable.
What’s the most infuriating thing other SL residents do? The constant attacking some people do. Specially on Plurk. Come on, it's getting old, really. I would understand if we were still in High School, but we're not. Most of you are actually in your thirties, I'm in my twenties, I mean.. come on. We should have moved past this years ago.
Which SL resident would you most like to have lunch with and why? Easy, Strawberry Singh. I know, lame answer is lame! But she's a huuuuge part of why I became a blogger. For years I followed her blog and her growth, and I was too shy to do anything, but then I finally decided to start to learn photoshop, and follow her tutorials, and I started this, which has now overtaken my SL life and changed it. In a way, Berry made me guys. And she can destroy me. Kidding aside, she's been a huge inspiration to me, and I'd be honor to even spend a day around her. I'd probably start squealing if I did RL and my husband would look at me like I'm a loser. It's ok though, I am.
Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Someone who serves as a warning rather than an inspiration? There's a few people. I'm not even going to say names, I don't want to get into it. But I've voiced myself against them, they know who they are. I don't backstab, I speak truthfully, I am not double faced, and I won't attack people for no reason. People that do that are my anti role models.
What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? Hm, I guess Roleplay. I used to enjoy rp'ing a lot, but there is so much competition with slutty girls that just want sex, that it just became an annoyance more than anything. I don't need to compete and try to count down how many more "sexings" I've had than you. It's sad. Trying to get attention through sex speaks very low. I'm sorry. I'm not going to compete in things like that, before I do, I'll leave.
What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about? I.. honestly can't think of anything? I'd want to try being a kid av and getting adopted, but.. I see sometimes the secrets.. in the rare occassions that I do read them, and just.. I get heart broken that that's how some people treat their family. I believe in Ohana. Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind :D.
What’s the oddest term of endearment you’ve ever used or that someone’s used for you? I call my RL husband Hunny Bunny! And I call my best friend in SL Cliopants.
Have you ever fallen in love with another SL resident? Yes
Describe a time/event in your slife that you’re nostalgic for. Rp'ing in my first Harry Potter sim. It was sooooo much fun.
What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you? Just a kind word will do. Stars in my flickr page also make me teary eye. Getting runner up on Hair Fair made me cry too. I don't know. I guess feeling like there's a sense of achievement does it for me.
So.. for today, with all that typing.. and all that reading, keeping it short. One of my favorite stores in SL is Ison. I love Harry Hax so much, have since 5ever. And now he's making hair, so of course I squealed when i saw it, and I am wearing it forever. I also loved his little dress for Collab! So.. that's about it, I hope you guys like!
So... another week in the hospital, this is getting really old, but I'm finally back. Well, been back since yesterday, just took me a little because I really really wanted to do something good for this post! And I'm actually pretty happy. A lot of things have been happening. For one, HAIR FAIR. I love hair fair, and I was lucky enough to have one of my works selected to be displayed guys! And even though I didn't get to use my early pass for either hair fair bloggers, or my early pass for winning runner up, I am still so happy and humbled to be selected for both, so thanks to the Hair fair theme. And I still managed to shop.. over 20K worth in hair, trust, I'm a shopaholic when it comes to hair, but.. it's worth it guys, a percentage of your sales goes to Wigs for Kids, which also helps other kids with cancer .. well, have wigs! So I love this organization, and I have no problem on dropping a lot of cash to support! Make sure to go and check out Hair Fair this year. It's built in LEGOS. And it's amazing, they outdid themselves. Shame Truth wasn't there, and I don't even wanna know the story, so gossip starters, don't even! I also checked out collab, and that's where the rest of my linden went. Wops. But.. well, Aime actually gave me these cute little fairies, they're so adorable, and they make me cry every time I detach them.. because Aime is a very evil bunny filled with cuteness. I just can't. I wanted to do a follow through the forest kind of theme, reminds me a little of Sleeping Beauty.. following the glowing light to her doom! Except.. they're good fairies... I hope! So I also went to Maitreya and got the jeans.. because.. Maitreya has a sale, and they have the best jeans in grid, so I had to fat pack! All in all, a lot of shopping.
Oh.. yeah.. this skin? The newness of essences. It's so soft and adorable, Cho is a must if you are going for more of a youthful/soft look, or Asian. I went for youthful. And also, a plurker friend sent me these a long time ago, but.. I've been bad! So much going on, but.. doctor who nails. I'm a huuuuge fan of Doctor Who, so.. .yeah, I'm rocking these pretty often. The necklace is from Noodles ( <3 you Nat) and the shirt is from Milk Motion. All are available at Collab this round! Oh... and don't you love the eyes? Newness from Ikon. Sort of, just.. close up of them. Hope you enjoy guys! On to the credits!

Okay, so today.. There's no rambling. I think. I don't know. When I blog I just type whatever comes to my mind and hope people can make sense of it. I don't literally have a plan, I don't know, I guess I want you guys to know me for whom I am, not because I'm trying to just say "LOOK! PRETTY STUFF TO GO BROKE ON!" Which.. I mean.. come on.. the hair and the outfit.. totally deserves to be bought, but.. still, I guess to me blogging is more than that, I try to bring a bit of myself into every post and hope that you guys enjoy the quirky mess that is me. Well, sometimes is emo, but whatever. I'm over the emo, time for fuuuuun! So.. I went today to Fameshed, because.. I was a bad blogger and hadn't gone. And I drooled over the new hair. I was sad truth hasn't put their stuff out, or Lame Furniture, since I'm a huge fan of theirs, but.. whatevers. Replaced by Wasabi pills. I'm lately all about the poof like that, with the headband holding it back. maybe because I'm a dork and I love all things headbands *HINT HINT TO ANY DESIGNER OUT THERE! MORE PLS! TY!* So.. yeah.. Of course I grabbed the pack in a heart beat. Then I walked around.. and fell in love with Cracked Mirrors release, and I had to buy it as well. I mean.. it's sooo cute D: I also had to blog it because I feel like.. I don't know, this represents my style really well, very comfortable and casual, but pretty, and I wish more designers would do things like this, because.. well, I do bring a huge part of myself and personality into SL, so to me it's important to look a bit like myself, or keep an essences of myself in my avatar. So props to Cracked Mirror for this, honestly, very well done, my only complain is that the pink is a little dark, and I wish there were more combinations of the colors. LIKE TEAL. But then again, like.. I'm obsessed with that color. TEAL AND BLACK! Honestly, I'd just throw linden for that, a teal over the top tank, layered over a black one. So happy. And then one with a white one on the bottom. Can this be done? Please? Well, I rambled waaayyyy longer than I wanted to, so I'm just going to jump to credits. Enjoy guys! And head over to famashed for more fabness!
Okay! So... I'm really excited, recently a lot of things have been happening to the blog. Way more hits, and I've got two major stores that took me in as a blogger now, and I couldn't be more thrilled! Essences, and Trompe Loeil. These are two of my all time favorite stores, so it's a pretty huge big deal for me, and an honor, and I've actually gotten to talk to both Inka and Cory, and they're both so sweet! I love that, like when you meet a designer, and they're actually.. not cocky and all weird, but down to earth and really fun to talk to. So.. yeah, tears have been shed a little, specially when I got my invite for Covert Affairs, and.. Umm... big stuff! I never in a million years thought that blogging would be such a big part of my sl life and my life, but it turns out that my passion for pictures, trying to network and get out of my shell, and trying to grow as a person has worked, and I am ever so thrilled. I mean, I've changed a lot from the time I started blogging. It's pretty funny, this person, his name is James, James and I were close friends way back in the day when I started blogging. Then drama, and angry blow ups, but when we started talking again, like.. literally yesterday over one of my you tried stars, I just.. let everything go, I mean, I have changed, why can't others? So even when the cautionary tales came, I was like.. woah, chill, 1. I'm not marrying the dude, 2. what's wrong with giving someone a chance? You can't ever change if no one gives you a chance or just craps all over your parade! So.. I did it. And so far, you know what? I'm glad, I am laughing, I'm having fun, and there's no drama. Okay, yeah, with all the cautionary tales and crap I'm cautious, but I'm enthusiastic, because.. I'd rather have a friend, than an awkward enemy. So that's why I decided to do Berry's challenge on him, and then doing a couple others, maybe, we'll see! I for sure want to introduce you all to Clio Clary, who's like.. my best friend ever in SL. So yes! Here we go guys!
Sash Arabello: First off, in Berry's page, she says hi. So say hi.
James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Hi
Sash Arabello: okay, so, how long have you been in SL?
James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Since late 2005
Sash Arabello: Holy crap you're old. Lol. So in all that time, what have you done with your SLife?
James Weaver (legion.afterthought): I started off in the club scene where I performed as a DJ which later evolved into me owning a couple clubs of my own. After that, I joined up with the gaming community of second life which engaged in various activities - but consisting mostly of just shooting things. That got boring after a while though, and I made my final stop right in the popular roleplay community known as the Crack Den Sash Arabello: homg you're so formal, just.. chillax lol, be you James Weaver (legion.afterthought): I'm being interviewed fool. I can't help it! Sash Arabello: bish, pls. Sash Arabello: okay, so what keeps making you come back to SL? James Weaver (legion.afterthought): I guess it's just the freedom of all the things I can do in SL along with the great people I can meet here! Sash Arabello: okay, I'm totally copying her questions, cus I suck, so sorry when Berry reads this, but whatever. So what do you like the best about SL? Legion Afterthought: Pretty much the same thing I said above - I can do literally anything I like and explore the little bit of creativity I have. XD
Sash Arabello: kay, this is the fun question, what are some of your favorite stores? James Weaver (legion.afterthought): I don't do that much shopping but when I do, truth, FATEwear, and Hoorenbeek are the places I check first. James Weaver (legion.afterthought): That answer makes me want to make a meme Sash Arabello: rofl Sash Arabello: ogod that was perfect for that beer guy rofl James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Lmao James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Exactly! Sash Arabello: rofl Sash Arabello: so what has SL taught you? Sash Arabello: damn it Weaver, after just our past, this answer better be good [19:03] James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Hmm..I suppose you could say SL is where most of my social life has been..as pathetic that may be XD but I've seemed to age in maturity in here the very way a child does in RL. I started out immature: rude, a huge troll, and so many other names I could use to explain my former self. Thanks to my experience here,:I've finally learned how to move past that and act proper in social situations. That is more than likely the biggest of lessons I got while in SL! Sash Arabello: HEY! Nothing wrong with trolling... >> I do it. James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Is that good enough for yee!? Sash Arabello: aww, you being so nice and sweet <3 I feel like an idiot doing this. LOL. Sash Arabello: actually half the time I blog I feel like an idiot, regardless! James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Well there is a such thing as too much trolling! XD Sash Arabello: PFT. Sash Arabello: Lies. James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Okay, go on a trolling rampage for a week then. ;) Sash Arabello: FRECK YEAH Sash Arabello: Okay, so.. is there anyone in SL that like.. you miss? Someone might have left, or whatever, tell us a story Weaver. James Weaver (legion.afterthought): That's hard to say since all my friends I had way back are still in SL to this day..except one person, now that I think about it! When I was part of that gaming/shooting community mentioned above, there was one group I remained consistently dedicated to until it's fall when their leader was falsely banned from SL entirely. He was by fat the best leader I've ever come across in SL. Creative, intelligent, and when the other leaders insisted on involving politics and drama into their groups, LEO Damone (the aforementioned leader) didn't give in and allowed for the group to maintain a cool atmosphere. If you take a look at my profile, you will see a group named Valkyrie Veterans - that's the group I made in nemoriam of the group that was led by LEO James Weaver (legion.afterthought): YOU WANTED A STORY James Weaver (legion.afterthought) points Sash Arabello: ISAW Sash Arabello: so! Last but not least, you have to say why I'm awesome Sash Arabello nods Sash Arabello: this is crucial James Weaver (legion.afterthought): I'm awesome cause I said so. Sash Arabello: ISAIDMENOTYOU James Weaver (legion.afterthought): Exactly, and I'm explaining why I'm awesome. Not you. Sash Arabello cries James Weaver (legion.afterthought) hugs Sash Arabello: mean, lol <3
And now that you've met my friend, it's time for the goodies. Today I decided to do a home blog. Home blogs are hard because.. well.. it's a lot of work and editing, and after slaving myself for two days, I'm actually pretty proud of what I have to show you guys. Trompe has a lot of new stuff out, which made me feel in such a gardeny mood that I just had to make a garden blog.. my first one every so.. be gentle! The Challenge's theme for this month is also the Garden, so with a couple of the things I snatched from them, and Trompe's new releases, I was able to make a get away place, somewhere only we know! I'm also sorry for the length of this post.. normallly they're wayyyyy shorter, I know! But.. this has lots of important informations!
