Hanging Out at Home
Sometimes, like when you’re stuck at work, you just want to be home.
Sometimes I don’t even care if I’m sitting around and waiting for someone…
or if I’m lounging around reading…
but my favorite is laying around without a thing to do in the world.
Is it time to go home yet?

Shamrock Tea!
Long day at work, fantastic traditional dinner and now I’m more than ready for some tea to finish off St. Patrick’s Day.
Still, it’s hard to work up the energy to actually get moving.
No reason to be running around when I can’t even remember where I left my darn teapot.
Can you tell I have tea on the brain? I want tea!!!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Baking Treats
The first day of holiday baking starts out optimistic. So many people on your list, and all of them love cookies!
Except, I keep forgetting that making cookies takes forever.
Somehow, the amount of dough you have to work with never gets any smaller… not on day two
Or day three…
Eventually, all of the cookies are done, packed and ready to be given to your friends and family, which means that it’s time to check on that stocking you left by the fireplace and see if any goodies have magically appeared.
Just be sure you don’t get caught, or they might disappear.
For more stocking shenanigans, there are a few more pictures (and bigger versions of the pics here) on my Flickr.

Halloween at the Plastik!!
When I joined Second Life last year, it was the creativity that I saw in the Fall that made me stay. So many incredible creators that are so vastly different, which gives all of us consumers just that many more ways we can choose to express ourselves as well. Personally, I’m a consumer because I have no talent for creation, but I like to put things together and play around with what other people do. Nothing is limited. Sure, the season you are in probably influences your choices (if you’re into fashion), but dressing up or trying something different isn’t limited to fancy dress parties or any particular day of the year. My next couple of posts are going to show off some of the different things that I have found recently, (yes, that is the point of this blog, so I am being redundant) but fair warning – some of them are likely to be Halloween related for right now. Well, the special items that are out and available for Halloween provided I get to posting in time. (I’m hoping to get more than one done a day.) Then, back to “look at all the cool stuff I found today!”
Anyone who has checked out this blog knows that I’m a HUGE fan of Aikea Rieko, the designer behind the Plastik. So, when I saw her Halloween collection, I knew I had to get my sick self off the couch and in front of a computer (and spend several days making sure I get decent pictures)! Here are some of what she created for 2010 – I’ve barely scratched the surface here, but… there are more pics of her awesome stuff on my Flickr. (You’ll also find full body pics of the skins so you can see the awesome bones/muscles and spiderweb designs.)
Donate – Couples Poses
Project Donate has fantastic couples poses for sale to benefit flood victims in Pakistan. I’m still getting used to adjusting poses for two, so bear with me if they aren’t perfect, but check out some of the poses you can find:
Don’t you love the tiled water in the first picture? I do. I just can’t figure out how to not make that happen. Something more important – the pose from the first picture actually comes in that mat of Autumn leaves that you can see at our feet. There are four couples poses in the mat AND there are particle leaves that fall around you in a beautiful, whimsical way. Unfortunately, when I took the pic, I had turned off particles, so you can’t see them here. Trust me, they’re beautifully done.
The top I’m wearing in all the pics also available to benefit Project Donate from *FaKE* – a lot of these are also available at the main stores of their creators.
Project Donate – Helping Flood Victims
Okay, I suck at blogging in a timely fashion. However, you have until the 19th to get to Project Donate and … well.. donate. The event is to benefit UNICEF’s relief efforts in Pakistan after the massive flooding that has happened there. Check out some of the cool stuff you can pick up to help a really good cause:
You can find skins (here you can see what Atomic and PXL Creations have to offer), hair (Truth’s Aloha style), clothes (Addict put out this great shirt), and body decorations (AtomicBambi’s body vine is exquisite).
Close-up of the skins and Truth’s hair:
More pics can be found on my Flickr.
One of the things I love most about Second Life is how everyone comes together in times of need and helps. Regardless of whether it is an established event like Relay for Life, or something new like Project Donate, the Second Life community comes together and gives however they can. I’m very proud to be part of a community like this one, so I’m embarrassed and seriously angry at myself for not getting to blogging about Project Donate sooner (and more frequently). (more…)
Where did August go?
No, seriously… where did it go? Because the last time I checked, it had just started and I was all ready to have a somewhat relaxing month – and then I woke up and remembered I still had to go to work. Man, if I didn’t have bills… or a serious addiction to really cool SL stuff…
Anyway, since today is the last day of August, it’s the last day of the Platinum Hunt – you know, the one I told you about before? And totally meant to write more about, but August ran past me like a toddler with with a contraband cookie. Right, so, since it’s the last day of the hunt, I thought I’d taunt show you some (more) of the goodies that you can pick up for 10L each until the end of the day today (in case you haven’t already).
The hunt items are the Mustache Pearls from Ha! (comes with a scripted version to where the mustache wiggles – it’s awesome!) and Messed Memory Wired Set from Acid & Mala (just beautiful detail).
The hunt items in these pics are the Acid & Mala set again; the dress from *Reale* (Holds up to rezzing, and dancing – I tested it!); the top from Berries Inc.; the Enchantress set from Deviance/Rockberry Kalista skin; the sunglasses from Blitzed/jacket from SLink/skin from [dekade]; the skin from Rockberry/top from *Just Me*/hair from Magika. More pics (including some stuff from the hunt not covered here) on my Flickr.
All of these items are incredible and showcase some of the best designers/creators out there. As an aside, I have to point out something that I love about the Berries Inc shirt. I love how the artwork on the system shirt and the prim are continuous (depending on whether or not I’ve messed it up with a pose). LOVE IT. It shows an incredible attention to detail, something I appreciate, but totally don’t have the patience to do for myself (which just makes me appreciate it more).

Summer of Love… coming to an end
Summer always flies by with day when everything is a little more relaxed and nights a little longer than normal. Every June, when I was still in school, I always thought the Summer would stretch on forever, but come the end of August, I always felt like I blinked and it was over. Now that I’m working, I feel that way about most time in general, but the Summer slowdown in particular – that special time when not everything is a rush, it never lasts, darnit!
The same thing goes for the Summer of Love Fair, which ends on August 8th. So many talented designers are participating and have put out great finds (and some deals!) – a few of which are exclusive to the fair. My favorites? Check out the pictures below:
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I will continue to repeat myself (I tend to do that, my apologies now), but one of the big reasons I fall in love with an outfit is versatility – either in styling or use of the individual pieces.
More pictures can be found on my Flickr with full styling credits.
As I’m sure you’ve seen, the point of this fair is to raise awareness for mental health issues, which a lot of people are affected by, and all of us encounter in one way or another in our lives. I’m not going to get into any of the politics behind the quantity of information supplied (I get enough of that at work, thanks), but I do want to point out one thing – with all of the participation and interest, what I see is a group of people who are trying to say that if you have an issue and you need help, you are not alone.

Taste of a Game (and Taste of Second Life)
Congratulations, Spain! That was an incredible match, and an amazing end to a crazy World Cup.
I’ve been reminded of three critical things over the last several weeks: insanity is most clearly seen on the thick of things, you only need one more goal to win and leadership is key. Also, I was right – this was a World Cup of keepers, especially Iker Casillas who really is almost supernatural. [And Holland plays brutal football…I had thought that was just against Portugal…perhaps they thought they were playing Australian rules?]
Taste of Second Life (TOSL) this week is a tribute to The Beautiful Game, and the favorite games of the designers. The link will take you to the TOSL blog with more information on what everyone has available this weekend. Alexohol Fashions, one of my favorite designers of fan gear (as you have seen before), has put together a sexy fan kit for 14 countries. Each set is 75L for this weekend. Here are some of my favorites:
Check out how the background only rezzes half of the time! Textures have been rebaking constantly for me and it took me forever to get any clear pictures – fun times!

As Promised… (for Germany)
I promised a friend of mine that I would post a German fan look based a little bet I lost. I admit, I took my time getting this done. Not because I have anything against the German squad, they’re actually my second favorites. However, seeing as how they knocked out my first love (England), I dragged my feet a little. Even though Lahm et al were the clearly superior squad on that day, it was disappointing.
So, in honor of my bet:
That’s how I felt at the end result of the match between Germany and Spain…followed quickly by…
It was one of those situations where you’re surprised, but not at the same time. I had thought that the game would come down to defense and, ultimately, the keepers – and, Iker Casillas is brilliant. Neuer is great, but Casillas… I don’t know if there is anyone better. Still, the result left a lot of people feeling like this:
On a note regarding the awesome outfit I have here, the jersey is from Alexohol Fashions, like my England jersey is – as always, the quality is excellent, and I really do love the attention to detail. Also, how cute are the flags? They’re on a tattoo layer from ::Iren:: (they also come as a prim attachment if you’re not using a viewer with tattoo layers). ::Iren:: also has these for other nations as well and they were free when I picked them up a week or so ago.

Well done…
I’ve been waiting to post this picture, and it’s about time too! I hope I get to post something similar Sunday after England plays Germany…
I posted to show off this outfit again, revel in a well-played victory, and also to finish something that I started and didn’t finish nearly on time. Of course, the day of the blogger challenge I flake out on is the last day. I’d love to say that it was because of something other than sheer exhaustion, but I can’t. I’ve mentioned it once or twice before, I think, but I went back to work on Monday after being out for three months. Getting ready to go back this past weekend and playing catch-up has been more exhausting than I expected, although the week has gone quickly, which is nice.
So, what can I say? The blogger challenge opened my eyes to the things that I could include in my blog, gave me the push I needed to talk more than just about whatever outfit I took a picture of this time. Now, I also learned that if you write, people will read, and that’s awesome – and it’s something I should do more often. I’m trying, right now is difficult, but I am trying… I love taking pictures and I love sharing them with people (I’ve always been the person who has something new or shiny and wants to show everyone) I just have to get the energy up to do so more often.

Bloggers Challenge#5: What’s on Your Mind?
Today’s topic for the blogger challenge is: what’s on your mind? Now, is it just me, or are open topics sometimes the hardest things to write?
I was going to put this one off for tomorrow, but it’s nearly 3am and I can’t sleep – I keep thinking about this post, going back to work, tomorrow’s World Cup matches (how I really want to be awake to watch Germany)… Thursday’s World Cup matches – all the usual stuff.
If you couldn’t tell, I’ve got World Cup fever and I’ve got it bad. Luckily for me, it only strikes once every four years (and during qualifiers, but who’s really keeping track?). I can’t quite believe that France lost to Mexico earlier, in a good way, but definitely a surprise! How awesome is it that Hernandez and his grandfather both scored against France in the World Cup – 56 years apart?!?
As fantastic as that is, my heart belongs to England, which led to this ensemble for today (the England match is at 20:30 local time) …
The very talented, and also very kind, AlexandraM Guisse of Alexohol Fashions sent me the England sweatshirt after I wore her England jersey in a post the other night. I’ve been a fan of her work for quite some time, and was very excited when I originally received the subscribe-o notecard about her World Cup national team items. I didn’t even know that she had this sweatshirt in store (or I would have picked it up when I got the jersey), so I was very excited to try it on (I’m an England clothing junkie right now) – I think it looks great, don’t you?
By the way, the rear-view photo is to show off the back of the jeans from Action. I’m not sure if they are still available – they were part of a Super Bargain Saturday buy.

How old *are* you? (Blogger Challenge #4)
Today’s blogger challenge topic is: how old is your avatar? how close is that to your actual age? (I’m paraphrasing, but that’s the general idea.)
Given that this is my general picture for any identification pages for my avatar, I think the answer to the challenge topic is perfectly clear. Of course we’re the same age – chronologically and mentally. (The mentally part fluctuates – as it does with everyone. I’m the first to admit that I’m not the most mature individual in the world, and I like it this way!) When I came into SL, I chose to make my avatar a representation of myself in a virtual world and not so much a character I would play, but she can definitely do things I can’t do in real life for health/economic reasons.

Blogger Challenge 3: Relationships in SL
As I’m sure you’ve seen on the feeds already, todays topic for the Blogger Challenge is relationships in Second Life(tm): are they hard to find? would you meet in the physical world? if you did meet in the physical world, would it change your SL relationship?
For this, I’m bringing back my old friend from around Easter. We just met and he’s getting all hands-y. (It’s a word! Sort of. You get what I mean.) Handsome, isn’t he?
From what I’ve seen, it’s easy to form relationships in SL, it’s just not easy to form quality relationships. If you’re looking for a quick way to cyber, there’s lots of places to find people who are looking for the same; if you’re looking for a solid relationship with emotional and psychological connection, it’s more difficult. Of course, I don’t think it’s any easier in the physical world.
So, if this handsome fellow and I had lasted, and had come to mean the world to me in SL, I love spending time with him, I’ve talked to him on voice about anything and everything, I know he’s who he says he is – as much as I can in a virtual world – and we’re totally committed to each other. We want to take this into the physical world, the one I can’t log out of. I don’t know if I would ever meet him. I hate to say “no, I would never do that,” but I do have all the concerns of anyone meeting someone from the internet. There’s only so much I can know about him because online, but we’re in lurve and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, so I’d at least consider taking that chance.
That being said, if we did meet in the physical world, I think it would have to change our SL relationship. There is something about being able to picture someone’s face when they smile, or the way that their face expresses their emotions that inherently changes the relationship between two people – makes it more “real.”
I should mention that it is not my intention, in any way, to diminish what people who do have a SL relationship feel. I know several people who have met the loves of their life online, be it in-world or elsewhere, and I’m happy for them. Everyone deserves to be happy.

Blogger Challenge (2): Keeping it Positive
So, today’s topic for the Big Bad Blogger Challenge is to write about three positive things going on in my Second Life. I’m pretty good at finding things to be frustrated about, but things have been going well lately, this should be pretty easy to do.
My friends – I’ve met some great people, who are very understanding about my tendency to get lost in my own world – and who also can pull me out of that world. They’re amazing and have shown me so much in the short time I’ve been in-world (well, almost a year now, but it feels like a short time). I know I’ve been very lucky on the friend-front in Second Life. The first night I logged-in, I met someone who took me around and helped me find a new shape, skin, hair, clothes. He’s not online much anymore, but I will always be grateful for his help.
World Cup fans – The last week has been fantastic with all of the World Cup fans coming out of the woodwork. A lot of my friends (RL and SL) love football like I do, but not many people I interact with in RL even understand the game. It’s great to have so many people to discuss this with in SL, even if we don’t agree all the time.
Bunnehs – A while ago I posted about my bunny obsession, and not much as changed. I love my bunnies like they are real pets. I understand it’s a game, but they’re just so cute! Look at Tyrone, isn’t he adorable?
Style Notes:
Shirt: Alexohol Fashions – England Women’s World Cup Jersey
Shorts: SPIRIT – Ballet Knit Shorts (Swan Black)
Skin: ATOMIC – Baily Autumn 2 (Cream)
Hair: Fri.day – Tatum (Passionate Red)

It’s Cup Time!
I’ve been meaning to post for the last couple of days, but I’ve been distracted watching the reason for this post – the World Cup! I’ve been trying out my best game too:
Looks easy, doesn’t it?
I have a great pose-maker to thank for that! (Vivaposes released a set of 9 poses, more of which you can see at my Flickr.)
I think it’s pretty clear who I support, yeah?
Honestly, I’m a little disappointed at the outcome today (not that I had anything to do with it other than yelling at the tv), but it’s considerably better than a loss would have been.
A draw because of an error? Not the end of the world. Well, not in the group stages at least.
And…this World Cup has seen several firsts: my first World Cup in Second Life (I’m SO excited to see how many other people are into it); Capello’s first time coaching in the tournament (I have a serious crush on him – ask me about it sometime); the first time my mother was interested enough to even talk about soccer with me (yay!); and the first time I actually cheered for Stevie G. (I still can’t quite believe that one myself).
I could go on for a while, but I’ll just leave it at: Come ON England!

Monster Weekend (Themeory)
I love monsters – especially cute monsters – so, this week’s Project Themeory was right up my alley. Below you can find much of what was offered – I had to have it all.
Here I am hiding from the cyclops downstairs at the clubhouse…
He’s a very nice monster, but it was his turn to be “it” in the game of hide and seek. And I’ve always thought that plain sight was the best place to hide. (So does my other friend on the top level of the club – say ‘hi’ to Salamonster… she’s very sweet, terrible dancer.)
This dino-monster is a great place to hang out.
Now, some of the clothing…
First, what I wore in the above pictures; then that outfit all spruced up.
If you’re going to hang out with monsters, you really ought to dress like one.
I always do like good company.

Themeory: 80s-Tastic
So, like so many others, I was super excited when I saw this week’s Project Themeory – I love the 80s!
Intrigue Co. has this fantastic prom dress in the mix:
And, of course, the bodysuits for working out:
Okay, I think sweats make more sense, but this bodysuits would make a gym trip super cute, and look nice even for relaxing in the chair from [what next]. The chair come with three cozy animations (reading, drinking, sitting), which you can see after the cut.
The pic above is my favorite though, I love how the toe of my shoe goes through the cushion. The shots that go “wrong” are usually my favorites.
— I should mention that the toe going through the cushion is due to the shoes used, not the chair. If the shoes were different, the foot wouldn’t be at a point like that and wouldn’t go through the seat.
Style notes at the end. (more…)
50L Fridays – Last Minute Pickups
Two favorites from 50L Fridays – another late one, sorry! The bathing suit is from Whippet and Buck, the kiddie pool is from Long Awkward Pose. Both items were still for sale as of posting time.

My Stumblebum finds this week…
Okay, not the most original title, but it’s late and I’m wiped. Here are three finds from the Stumblebum stores this week that are definitely going to be in regular rotation…
O-k, so that’s two shirts, jeans, shoes… what the heck is she talking about three finds? The poses are the third find. I compulsively collect dfo! poses because they fit so well (no overextended hands or bad angles!) and not just because I do love adding new poses to my photo studio.
The shirts are from Ducknipple, which I got really excited about as soon as I saw the name on the Stumblebum list! It was one of the first stores I found in SL where I really liked everything about it – the quality of the work, the style of the clothes, the setup of the store, everything. In fact, if I remember correctly, Ducknipple was the first store that I actually paid for the clothing – until then it was all freebie boxes of stuff, some of which was ok, some of which should never be mentioned again. EVER. (Oh, like you didn’t look like a complete moron your first weeks in SL – whatever.)
Style Notes:
Top: Ducknipple – Pitfall (Rainbow) Part of Stumblebum pack of 2 tops

Super Bargains – Urbanity and GATO
Woo! Super Bargain Saturday certainly had some super bargains today, and you still have a couple hours to go get them today. Sorry about the short notice again, but I couldn’t get on the computer uninterrupted until late tonight. (The items will probably be like this until tomorrow morning, but it depends on when the store owner has a chance to get online tomorrow and take the deal down.)
Urbanity has her super cute extreme high heels on sale for 75L – for any color. Here’s a look I put together with the Rose color – version 1 (more rounded toe).
GATO had two adorable shirts in Keith Haring prints. I was really excited when I saw the prints earlier today – Haring has always been one of the my favorite artists. Here is pattern #1 with and without the waist attachment. (I think I like it a bit better without the attachment.)
Will have more tomorrow!

Electric Blue Friday!
Today is the kind of day that definitely calls for an electric blue end, and (luckily) Whippet and Buck have come to the rescue with one of the bustiers from their 50L Friday fatpack of 7! This deal is for Friday only, so you have… about 2 hours left to pick it up (sorry for the short notice).
Ta-da!
Update: Pic of all the colors, for your enjoyment!

Fifty linden Friday links are all over the feeds today, and a lot of people have shown other awesome things, but I have to say that this bustier fatpack is my favorite of this weeks selections. Might be because I was looking for something bright to cheer up my day, might be because I love the detail that Whippet & Buck put in even the simple things – like the detail in the bustiers – is one of the reasons I keep going back for more.

Fantasy Faire 2010: Not Over Yet!
The Fantasy Faire ends tonight, but there is still time to go over now and check out the fantastic designers and all that they have available!
For instance… I picked up this beautiful outfit from Evie’s Closet, which is on the Elvencourt sim. This the the Ariel outfit in Rainbow, which can be found in her Relay for Life vendor!
While upstairs in Evie’s Closet, I noticed she had her Faery outfit available in the special edition that was out for Spring. This is a special edition available until it isn’t any longer (unfortunately, I don’t have the notecard on exactly how long it will be available).
Go check out Elvencourt and all the 8 other awesome sims of the Fantasy Faire while it’s still going on!
More info can be found at the main sim and at the Fantasy Faire blog.

Fantasy Faire 2010: Fairy Unique Designs!
I’m very excited to be blogging this particular post because, today, I have done something I was never able to do before in SL. I built something recognizable!
Happyholly Grigges of Fairy Unique Designs graciously let me try out her textures that are in her Relay for Life vendors, which can currently be found at the teleport point for the Via Obscurium sim. Hurry over because today is the last day!
So, what did I build? A flower garden!!!! (Humor me, this is very exciting.)
You can even tell what it is that I built. I was so excited, I had to sit down and enjoy my new garden for a bit.
I think I will need to expand my garden soon. Maybe turn it into a full-time bunny home.
Being the complete amateur builder that I am, my little garden demonstrates only some of the textures available from Fairy Unique Designs. In each pack you get several color variations of her textures (as in the case of the fence and gate), or several different textures of similar items (as is the case with the flowers), so that you can be as creative as you like.
Here’s what you see:
Garden Fence and Gate: Fairy Unique Designs – Fantasy Fairy Garden Fence Texture Pack (R)
Flowers: Fairy Unique Designs – Purple Flowers Set 1 Texture Pack (R)
On Me:
Hair: Fri.day – Tatum (Passionate Red)
Skin: [ATOMIC] – Baily Autumn 2 (Cream)
Shirt: Apple May Designs – All His Top (Green)
Poses: Fri.day – Model Pose 14 (ao version); Posies (ground sit)
