Looking For Something Else

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.

La La Lolita Bear

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.

FFL - True Nature's Child

Are you the outdoorsy type? Do you love gardening, hiking, bird watching, or just being somewhere far from the the city in the fresh air and sunshine? Personally, I am an indoors kind of girl, I burn in the sun because my skin is so fair, and I am allergic to so many things it is never relaxing to me. I also have trouble sitting still for very long, so I need something to keep my mind busy as well as my body.  But I know the type. My mother is one, so is my niece. The birds and flowers are never more beautiful than when they are close by, they soak up fresh air and sunlight. Winter, spring, summer, or fall -- you can find them out of doors being sporty or just walking the dogs and looking at the changes in the landscape.  They seem to glow from it, are refreshed by it. I am so envious of these Nature's Children types.

This look made me feel very joyful and light, so I headed out to a favorite location to take some pretty shots. There is no PS here, this is all the lighting on the SIM, and the AnaLutetia Avatar Optimizer - Whiter Windlight pre-set.  How pretty it all looks, and no allergies! The pretty comes in large part to the beautiful outfit I am wearing, a Fashion For Life Exclusive from Tres Beau. Paired with sweetly beaded earrings from *Mon Cheri*, and platform heels from HOLLYHOOD, both also FFL Exclusive donation items, and even a FFL Exclusive Slink Nailpolish from -{ZOZ}-. I feel like I could go just about anywhere and fit in. The bag is a new release from .random.Matter. at the Hello Sunshine event, and the Swallow ring is from the new round of The Dressing Room FUSION event

Below you will find all the shopping details, including the teleport to mainstore locations. To get a TAXI directly to the store at the Fashion For Life event, click on the Fashion For Life link after the item name/description so those lindens can really add up as donations to Relay For Life of Second Life. Happy Shopping!

May The Fourth Be With You

A long time ago, in a Second Life far far back in November of 2006, a little avatar named Jhuzen Ketsugo stumbled into her Second Life. She joined SL after watching an evening news program that highlighted the 'game' and all it's various role play communities. When she joined, she didn't know that you could be anything and everything on one avatar or account, so she choose a name that was similar to a Star Wars fan-fiction character that she had been writing about, for her own geeky amusement.

Ket-Su Jhuzen, the name of the original fan-fic character set out to become a Jedi in the city of Naboo, and found herself a Jedi Master who tried to teach her how to use the Force. Unfortunately, a huge snag was hit when Ketsy could not figure out how to build a darn thing, her own light saber included, linking two prims was simply too much to handle.  And thus Ket-Su tired of her quest to become a Jedi. Besides, most of the time she sat in on NOJ Council meetings and watched warring groups of posturing SL Jedi fight over how things should be conducted in the larger RP community. Bo-ring much?

So Ketsy branched out, met people, learned to shop like a mad woman, made another account and did her little stint as club dancer to manager to co-owner in literally a week's time, and then a new DJ was created. From there, the story takes off on it's own. A legendary Shopping Addict was born from themed events at a little hot spot called PIN  UPS, that required new outfits on a daily basis, and a blogging journey began. But let's be clear, I joined SL because of a love for Star Wars, and love it I still do. So on this May the 4th, or Star Wars Day, I wish you all the good things that can come from your Second Life, and hope it has enriched your first life in the way it has mine.




All three of these fabulous futuristic fashion looks are from R2, and can I just say, Star Wars geeks have never had it so sexy. This amazing Twi'lek Skin and matching Lekku (head tentacles) are by Stargazer Creations.  This is so much more advanced then my last Twi'lek Dancer look, back in July of 2008, and at the time that was spectacular in and of itself. Mesh clothing and shoes just makes all the difference, not to mention the ability to use appliers to blend in my amazing Slink Avatar Enchance hands and feet.  The look here is not inexpensive, but you never know when you might feel the urge to pull out a blaster and blow some Villainous Scum into the dust of the Dune Sea. Speaking of the Dune Sea, if you have never been, you have to visit the Little Mos Eisley SIMs. There are two linked SIMs, and they are visitor friendly, all you need to do is wear a floating text tag and explore. The details and the builds are sheer perfection, an absolutely a must visit location for anyone in SL. Check out all twelve of shots, with better details of the costumes, in the flickr embedded app above.

Lush As Spring Tulips

[Full Credits Follow Post]

Spring doesn't just mean a palette of sweet pastels, it also means lush petal tones, like those in the tulips trying to poke their way out of the earth to enjoy the sun.  This lovely look made me think of those beds of silky red tulips that blanket downtown Toronto, and welcome the warm weather with the rest of us. With Passover starting tonight, and Easter just around the corner, it is time to celebrate new life and all things that bring family together. I very much hope that your Spring Season is wonderful and peaceful.

Bears - Beets - Battlestar Galactica

With favorite TV sitcoms like 'The Office'  in mind, I put together a business savvy look that also lets me rock my personal style and quirk. Yes, I am a nerd and darn proud of it! The title for this post is a quote from 'The Office', a hilarious episode where Jim impersonates co-worker, and may I add - fellow Second Lifer, Dwight Schrute, and concludes his argument with these three now famous words. Yes, the character actually had a SL Avatar and it made for one of the most insane and wonderful episodes ever. When I told my RL sister and fellow blogger that I was going to post an office look with many of the items from this months COLLABOR88 Event, she told me not to bother posting it on her blog On Your Toes, as she had done the same thing. When I saw her post I almost fell off my chair, both of them, her look is entirely different, even though we are wearing the same skin type we look completely unique. How great is that. Check it out here.
