i dont get invitations

When it comes to invitations to join Flickr groups with names like, “hottest virtual girls” or “beautiful AVs” I don’t get a lot. You won’t see me posting a gratuitous, “thank you!!!!” for a group cover photo, because those don’t happen either. My avatar is petite in every way, and like her RL typist, prefers midi skirts (with boots IRL) and jeans with blazers, over mini skirts and boob shirts. You might say we fly below the radar in more ways than one.

But on a good day, the absolute joy I get styling my virtual doll is unmatched. Today I went cutesy, almost sickly sweet, with a combination of pink and blue. There may be no award for best dressed but I had a great stress relief session and even finally found a hair from Nova where the wide middle part and almost “shaved” effect didn’t totally throw me. IYKYK.

Late this weekend I am off to Paris for work. Sounds fancy, right? In reality, it’s not but it is the first trip in a 6-week stretch of insane travel commitments. I don’t think I will be home for a full week until July! At any rate, I’ll try to be back before I jet.

a spring skirt

DeuxLooks - a spring skirt

I bought this beautiful midi skirt in two color packs and then quickly lost sight of them. I am determined to make better use of recent purchases and progress through the overflowing “to blog” section of my inventory. I love where that led me today.

As ever, I’m not a huge floral person but every now and then it’s appealing; especially in Spring. Of course this one is – uniquely in SL – not ridiculously short. /appreciate

maximalist

I wish I was a minimalist IRL, but the truth is, there’s “stuff” everywhere. Treasured stuff. Photos, books, paintings, chandeliers in every room, a new penchant for brass and wallpaper, shoes, shoes, shoes, bags… My maximalist side has clearly won out in terms of my home anyway. Interestingly, my fashion tends to be far, far simpler. My closet of neutrals and monochrome is an antidote to all the other over the top parts of me.

This look in Second Life is like a palette cleanse for all the “stuff” – just don’t ask me where my avatar’s hands are. Oversized is in, anyway.

lemon slingback

I love these lemon slingbacks. They’re from my crack dealer favorite shoemaker in Second Life. Incidentally, I realized that the first shoes I went hyperbolic about from NeutralTones are actually inspired by Prada (which I now own IRL). I believe, this the first time SL influenced an actual RL purchase for me. Now, these spring slingbacks look a lot like a pair (but in pink) I just ordered that will arrive in September. I need to stop this. SL is one thing. IRL is quite another.

As a result, I’m off to do RL work to pay for all my shoes!
