American Woman

So.. I just was reminded that Fourth of July was this week. Wops. Don't hate. I'm not even American and I've been in the hospital for a week, I'm excused for not even knowing what date is today. But.. Flux event is picking up again, guys! And I'm sooooo excited to be picked as a blogger for this event that was so big in the past. For this set, the theme is Americana, and I'm in awe at some of the stores and what htey're sending out, like this bikini, and the headphones with the American flag, too adorable, and the spoon set from Lark that I'll blog later, really.. really amazing stuff the creators have been able to come up with in such a short amount of time, so I decided to do an homage to the Fourth of July using some of these items! Also... there's this new store that opened up in the grid, they make skins, and.. I do love the face, I'm absolutely in love with the innocent face, but the body has absolutely no dimension to it, and it's milk white, so don't ever wear white with this skin. Over all, it makes for a good kid skin, were it not for the cleavage on it, I was kind of disappointed to be honest, but for 600L, it's well worth it! Happy Shopping guys!

Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect

So.. I'll admit, I've gone way overboard with the Arcade. Really, but.. this has got to be my favorite set of Arcade things ever, so much amazing things, so much talent, so much to play with! I decided to create a full bedroom using mostly Arcacde items, and using the amazing skybox from 22769 for the Challenge, available all this month. So.. I was lucky enough to finish the Tres Blah set. Yeah, I get to brag about that, I mean.. I worked hard for it! But.. It has got to be my favorite piece of furniture in SL thusfar, honestly, and I do adore the game sets from Second Spaces, and the piggies.. I had to make my piggies play them! Look! Devil piggy is about to get arrested too while he's playing with Cupid! 

I honestly wanted to do something that reverted somewhat to childhood, because to me, that's what the Arcade this round is all about, appealing to that inner kid inside all of us. I mean.. those Zigana robots.. how they talk even? I've never been this excited about anything ever! And the dolls from The Secret Store.. I mean.. even the packaging is adorable! I'm honestly thinking about redoing my room, even with the art dummy bed that.. well, is kinda bland, for a rare. But really, amazing, all of it is so amazing, I couldn't be happier with this round. I'm clean out of linden, and not even going to complain about it! Hopefully you guys make it in, because.. really, this round is extremely worth it, a round of applause to all the designers that went above and beyond our expectations. And while we sleep, our dreams will make the things around us have a life of their own, our dream run the world wild, and that's really what this picture is all about.

And now I'm in a Whole New World With You

So.. I was a little slow this week with Disneybound.. but.. don't hate on me! I've been through a lot this week, that, and it's partner's week for Disneybound! Aladdin and Jasmine. I love this movie, one of the ones that I used to watch in repeat when I was a kid. You know.. when we still had the bulky VHS, and would play, rewind like a million and one times. Yup. That was me, singing along, and yelling at Jafar. And cry with the Genie.. Ah childhood, how I miss thee. So.. of course I had to get my Aladdin, it wasn't an option to have anything but the magic carpet ride. Nope. So I nagged one of my best friends, James Matfield into doing this shoot with me, and the results.. well, I love them. Through a couple of days of planning and trying to get free time together, we finally did it! I hope you like this week's Disneybound challenge, I know I can't wait for next week. And Natalee.. I'm still waiting for something to do with Sleeping Beauty. I swear I'm about to throw a major fit here, woman!
