Every time I begin to set up a new living space in Second Life, there is always something missing. No matter how much I adore the building, there always seems to be too much room. Look at this stunning Jasmine House from The Scarlet Creative, it is the perfect setting for my 'I was a Bollywood Queen in another life' sensibilities. It is brand new at this round of COLLABOR88, and the price is epic in a low kind of way.
I managed to pack in all three of the amazing Zaara {Home} collections from the past 3 The Arcade Gacha Events, and still had heaps of room for more divine decor. How stunning is the brand new Zaara {Home} The Maharani's Boudoir Set, not to mention previous offerings The Indian Kitchen and Living Room sets. I lovingly tossed in ample goods from junk.'s Wannabe Boho collection, also from last June's Arcade, the wall hangings are particularly well done. My back room is my new work and dream space, filled with my treasured -Tres Blah-, The Workplace Collection which is brand new and yours for the earning at The Arcade Event on now and for the rest of this month.
So what is missing? It's not a what but a who, and it has been almost 2 years since we last had any contact, more than four years since we shared some time in Second Life. There will always be room for him, in my heart, in my life, and in my arms. This little Bollywood Queen is forever looking for the return of her King. As long as I still draw breath, he is the only one for me, no matter how many or how few days that may be.

Pushing through when you are fighting fatigue and exhaustion is a special kind of ability, and one I seem to be lacking for the most part. Today I have managed to do it, but who knows what tomorrow may bring. I figure every push is like earning my stripes, so to speak, and over my lifetime, I have more stripes than places to display them. This adorable look came together with a little bit of luck and a whole lot of awesome pieces from a lot of different places. Really it is my favorite way to blog, although time consuming, pulling together a really unique look is what makes me most happy. When you combine well made items in new and unexpected ways, you can really express your own sense of style.

It's been a bit of a week for me, and being under the weather does not agree with me so very much. It certainly gets in the way of my ability to blog, which is a shame because there is so much worth blogging on the grid lately. When I finally made my way to The KUSTOM 9 over a week ago, I managed to snag up so much greatness that this post is full of it, in a good way that is. Finds included this adorable AMITOMO Black Cat Clutch, which makes for an awesome Gacha prize, you have to love the glowing eyes. I also got a chance to wear this great new TRUTH HAIR in-store release called Nissa with a fabulous fishtail braid over one shoulder. I do love the reds when I wear TRUTH HAIR, they are just so foxy, which makes this adorable *katat0nik* Fox Ice Cream Bar the perfect treat for an evening on the pier. Lots of animal tails in this blogging tale, and lets hope that my health is on the upswing.

This post took a whole lot of effort to piece together, just like a patchwork quilt. I took me days to get the style together, then to hunt for a cute location, another two to finally get my photos done (thank you SL), and yet another day to track down all my location SLurls and event landmarks. I hope it was worth it, it takes a lot of work to look this cute. Thank goodness for great new hair from .ploom., Missy is available now exclusively at The Big Show. I almost always wear my hair up like this in my everyday, and the pumped up bun on top is pretty accurate (even though my hair is very salt and pepper, white/grey and black). It's mainly because I am way overdue for a trim, like years overdue, and my long hair reaches my lower back. Not sure if it looks as cute in real life as it does on my avatar, but I am going with it.

Just a chill look fit for any summer music festival. Casual, cute and cool with bits and pieces I have been collecting at some of the amazing events this month. Make sure you check them out while you can, you wouldn't want to miss the festival express. Hit up Uber, COLLABOR88, FaMESHed, and The Chapter Four.

This month marks the three year anniversary of COLLABOR88, and it is a shopping experience of truly epic proportions. The theme is Odyssey, and it is entirely evocative of Greek and Roman Pantheon Gods and Goddesses. I opted to evoke the three Fates, or Moirae, with three looks to match the three Goddesses.
Considered the cruelest of the three Fates, Atropos wielded the scissors that cut the string of life spun and measured by the other two Moirae. This final cut was the decisive time of death, ending the life of the mortal. I choose to think she was merely misunderstood, and decided to set this cruel beauty in the night, sky full of stars, after the sun has set on a life. Atropos is wearing white here, a color long associated with death, in this fantastic sexy gown by Baiastice. The gown, Exclusively available at COLLABOR88, comes in a shockingly sexy version with bared breasts if you dare. I opted to cover her arms in bangles and gems to symbolize the wealth of knowledge accumulated in a life well lived, all of these are new from aisling. and yours to win at Fantasy Gacha Carnival. The stunning hair, sandals, poses, and even the piercing are all to be found at COLLABOR88 exclusively, until this round ends, but don't wait till your thread is cut short. Happy Three Years COLLABOR88, the fates of shoppers everywhere are happily in your hands.
