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 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.

Just a sweet look for a month's end composed of a lot of great items I have snagged at various events around the grid. Most are still going strong, some end in the next few days, so don't wait to get out there and visit while the crowds are thinning and the shopping is lag free and stress free at the same time. Among my favorite events are My Attic at The Deck, where everything is less than $100L, and the Cosmetics Fair Beach Party, where you can change up your whole look with some brilliant little additions to your favorite skins. I love discovering new to me content creators, and both events are full of wonderful examples of new content and new to me brands. Happy end of the month shopping day everyone!

I am feeling rather lost lately, not in the sense of not knowing where I am, but rather in not knowing where I am going. I feel disconnected and isolated so much of the time, and find myself withdrawing farther from others all the time. It isn't what I ever planned for myself, not where I saw my life going, but it is what it is. I know things can get better, I know they might, but not without effort. When I am in Second Life I can pretend to be someone else, I can dress up like I have somewhere to go, but most of the time even I know it is an act. My true self is hidden behind costumes and cutesy looks that I would never pull off anywhere else. This look is different, it somehow echoes deeper in my heart and soul. It resonates with who I have been and who I am still. This is how I live now.

When I was a little girl, my father would name all the animals we found in an alliterative way. We had Henry the Hamster, Ferdinand the Frog, and a lot of Willy the Worms after it rained outside. While visiting the Okinawa Summer Festival 2014, I picked up a new friend. Meet Freddy the Fish, yes, he is the little on in the bag in my avatar's left hand. When I finally got around to visiting The Season's Story, and saw this adorable little summer dress from ::{u.f.o}::, I knew it was meant to be. So here is my fishy dress and my little friend Freddy, and we are out for a walk in the sun. I had to show you all the cutest hair from Rosy Mood at Hair Fair 2014. This style, called Kinako, made me think of the 70s, and spending time with my twin sister out in the sun. I included a picture of the two of us, in our actual double pony tails playing with wild daisies, below - so you can see the similarities. I visited with my sister today, known to most of you as Anessa Stine of 'On Your Toes', DCNY, and Girl Thursday. She is still in hospital but doing so much better, and I miss her like crazy. We giggled like idiots over the most mundane everyday hospital happenings, we can have each other in stitches (not literally this time) in seconds. It is good to laugh with her again, I hope she can come home and back to all of us in Second Life soon.

Pick a fair, any fair Skin, Hair, Shoe, and there are a lot of winners there. Certainly, we shoppers are huge winners, we get heaps of new and must have goodies all in one place. The content creators are winners, they get to show off their creations alongside the best of the best, and even the little fish in the pool can get a lot of exposure. But beyond that, there are the charities that are tied in to most of these big events, and they win in two big ways. First, they get a lot of exposure for their cause, as Wigs for Kids has at the current Hair Fair 2014. Secondly, they get many small donations from the sale of items at the event, and all those small donations add up to something wonderful when all is said and done. Every single purchase you make at Hair Fair gives Wigs for Kids a small percentage of the cost to helping children who have experienced hair loss as a result of medical treatment, a health condition, or trauma, such as a burn. It's a lovely commentary on the power of the many when they come together to support something bigger than themselves. A new to me vendor like !Saltgrass!, who have this lovely Raleigh style available Exclusively at Hair Fair 2014, is the perfect example of a wig that turns a purchase from you into so much more.

There is something about hair from tram that just makes me feel girly and sweet. This new D523 style is another cloyingly sweet addition to my collection, available now Exclusively at Hair Fair 2014. It has a lovely wee braided crown and cute fringed bangs. It made me feel like throwing together an equally sweet look, including some of the great Gacha items at the current round of The Chapter Four, and a precious necklace from The Secret Affair. A great pair of jeans is always a wonderful thing, and this pair from DRIFT at The Dressing Room FUSION has a HUD with 5 different denim dye washes to choose from, it's five pairs of jeans in one for less than $100L! Better snap up these items fast, time is limited with most of the event items at a sale price. Adding some sweet and colorful dots by Ama. to my manicure it the icing on my little sweet cake.
