This month marks the three year anniversary of COLLABOR88, and it is a shopping experience of truly epic proportions. There is so much stunning content of every kind, and easily twice as many vendors as ever before. The theme is Odyssey, and it is entirely evocative of Greek and Roman Pantheon Gods and Goddesses. Everything is decadent and gilded, and it is really a matter of being spoiled for choice, I had to have it all. In celebration of the three year mark for COLLABOR88, I opted to evoke the three Fates, or Moirae, with three looks to match the three Goddesses.
Clotho is the youngest of the Moirae, one of the three Fates, and is known as the spinner. This Greek Goddess, the daughter of Zeus it is presumed, is said to have spun the threads of destiny that determine the time of birth of an individual. I depicted her in the morning sunrise, as she represents the early morning of the lifespan. I see her in green, a color of living things and growth. This classic dress by La Penderie de Nicole is clean lined perfection in a fitted mesh. Hair, most accessories, and poses can also be found at this months round of COLLABOR88.

MELITA INSULA ~ [Ancient Greek Roman Role Play sim], Isola Atlantide (72, 126, 30) - Moderate
I have recently been introduced to a new series of Paranormal Romance books, the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole. They are something to keep my mind off other things, especially at bedtime when I often struggle with nightmares. One of the most brilliantly written groups in these books are the Valkyrie, a group of petite but fierce women of Lore, that fight hard but with power and grace. After a visit to the new round of We Heart Role-Play! yesterday, I knew I had to go full Valkyrie and have a little Role-Play fun. It all started when I spotted these amazeballs pants called Rogue, by -Pixicat-, and yes the shoes are part of them! I may never take them off, and you will want them even if you don't RP, they are perfect for the every curvy girl, and they go perfectly with this amazing We Heart Role-Play! Exclusive Nyoki Hair from ~Tableau Vivant~, a hella sexy style for both guys and girls. The Rogue pants are available in 5 color choices, while the hair is available in dozens and dozens of tones. The poses, also a brilliant score from the We Heart Role-Play! Event are by !Musa!, and were great fun to play with. Don't wait to visit this great event, the lag is low and the shopping is fierce.

This post really isn't about new things, it's more about digging into my inventory and showing off things I have picked up at various events and shops, but have yet to wear. It's a summer casual look that is all about comfort, and perfect for a little walk about. While checking out My Slink Obsession, the event, I stopped to snap some pictures. I always forget that in addition to being a wonderful shopping destination, Slink West is a really well designed SIM with lots of great spots to take pictures. I love finding new places to shoot for my blog, a little exploration is in order, but it's always fun and there is so much diversity in Second Life to celebrate.

There are a lot of things that I adore in Second Life. I am a huge fan of accessories in particular. I love bracelets all the way up my arms, I love bags, and heck, do I ever love my shoes. So this look is a great opportunity to go all Fan GurL on some of the best and brightest stars on the Grid in the accessories department. Lindsey Warwick is quickly becoming one of the best and most dedicated shoe makers around, always impeccably textured, her shoes under the [L.Warwick] brand are simply foot candy. Her newest release is perhaos her best so far, available exclusively now at the My Slink Obsession Event, the [L.Warwick] Cordelia Platform Heels come with three strap variations, all at one incredible teeny tiny price.
ISON by Harry Hyx is another total winner winner chicken dinner creator in my book. This newest ISON Summer Striped Net Bag is an example of a genius creation. It has specially crafted handles that fit perfectly in my Slink Avatar Enhancement Hands, the bag is also slightly curved away from the leg, so it photographs and wears beautifully without cutting into my Avatar. It also has those little details that make it superbly well crafted, textured stitches and details, sheer panels, and best of all, heaps of practical goodies inside the bag for the most realistic look. Get your own in a variety of color options exclusively at the new Uber Event.
Getting back to bangles, my personal favorite must-have jewelry item in Second Life, there is no one like Zaara Kohime to make my arms jingle jangle jingle with joy. Back when Summerfest 2014 was all the rage, I snapped up these absolutely luxe Indra Bangle Stacks from {Zaara Couture}. There is so much detail, so much color, and both gold and silver versions in the set, I couldn't live without them. I treasure all my Zaara jewelry, and have been collecting it for almost 7 years. Just try to pry it out of my pretty little mesh hands, I dare you. OK, Fan GurL session over for today, I need to go fan myself off, I am feeling hawt!

I have been an artsy person for as long back as I can remember, and the minute I spied the / XIAJ / Sunday Morning Artist Studio set at this past The Season's Story - Summer Event, I had to have it all. Always a visual thinker and dreamer, as soon as I could hold a crayon I was drawing on everything. My mother saved some of my early art, and it seems I was always drawing people. Not real people, people from my imagination. All through my school years, the class that kept me motivated was Art Class. Formal or not, and I have many teachers who can attest to the fact that often I was caught doodling in other classes too. Friends would always asks for doodles and caricatures of themselves, and I was happy to oblige, even in Math or Social Studies.
I was once thrown out of my High-School art class for screaming at a teacher, true story. He was a pretentious ass who wore a toupee and often would just pick up a pencil or a paint brush and alter a students work in progress as they sat there and let him. I was incensed, to me art and creation is sacred, how dare he just assume that he could 'perfect' their classwork by doing it for them. Needless to say I was all full of righteous indignation as I stood in the hallway waiting for the class to end. I still get a little riled up at the thought.
I continue to 'Art' to this day, I have an office full of paints, brushes, scraps of fabric, wood, a sewing machine, heaps of tiny cute odds and ends, beads, and just about every kind of pencil and marker an artist could ever want. But it takes inspiration now for me to push through and create. I need to be in a certain mood, and when I am, I can be up for days and night on end, just puttering around and creating things. My nieces and nephew have all gained heaps of new 'Stuffed' friends from my sewing work, they clamor for them, and want to give them to their friends too. I can't say no. My Etsy store dreams may never happen, but it is about the process after all.

It's a sweet Sunday morning, and I was feeling the need to be cute. This look is so stinking cute I can't hardly stand it. I picked up the top, erratic's Amber - Tie-Up Shirt , at the new Uber Event and built a look around it with a whole lot of Kawaii pizzazzle. It was the perfect time to throw on all the goodies I picked up yesterday at The Candy Shop, including these sweet HUD customizable Baby Pumps by Ninety, the adorable [ Infliction ] Toasty Bag, and a great jewelry set from . Sweet Thing.. I found a great excuse to wear these [LE FORME] Kawaii Bear Ears , with a HUD controlled texture bow that was too perfect a match to believe, and speaking of bows, I love this adorable hand-drawn NEO** : Lululala - Summer ribbon legs tattoo from The Season's Story. I have my three *MishMish* Candy Fluffz guardian angels floating round me, to keep me from being too naughty a girl.
