I have said a few times that I really don’t like gacha very much. It’s fun-ish but can be frustrating. However, that has never stopped me from trying for something I have my eye on. I am epically stubborn. After so many tries, it becomes more about my stubbornness than my desire for whatever it is. Case in point, the… Read more →
I made my shape in 2006. Obviously I have made some tweaks to it over the years, but not much actually since I came back. I was always a petite avatar, in a sea of glamazons back in 2006 – 2008. Am I attached to my face and shape in SL? Yes, of course. Gillian in SL is an extension… Read more →
Hats. I love wearing hats IRL. In SL? Very hit or miss. Unless they come with the hair (and even sometimes when they do), they can be hard to work with. And when they come rigged to the hair, options for styling are very specifically limited to the type of hair. However for me, anything is better than the blockiness… Read more →
Back when I started SL in 2006, there was a big movement to bring RL corporations into the “game.” I guess it was mildly successful for a short time, but in the end, it wasn’t really a business platform. During that time though, there was all sorts of “business wear” (a lot of it was terrible – made by these… Read more →
Dreamy is a bit how I feel styling these pieces. The feeling you get from everything – the casual cargo pants, the undone hair, the loose fitting tunic. And of course the jewels. The magnificent jewels from Mandala, which I chose to dress down. Pretty dreamy. The cargo pants are by a designer totally new to me – Addams. They’re… Read more →
I wished for a pale fatpack from Belleza and it was granted when Uber opened today. I was THRILLED that I could have every make-up (all 8) in my tone in one pack!!!! and the price is too good not to get your whole tone. “Jia” is so beautiful; absolutely magical actually. I am wild about her. The make-ups are… Read more →
~90 days and 60+ posts after I returned to blogging after many years away, I am on the verge of doing the first quarter purge of my inventory. I want to keep it at 20k or less. This is a spectacular goal considering I used to hover around 100k when I was blogging before. The only things in my inventory… Read more →
Yesterday was intimate, today is intricate. I feel like because designs in SL often have to be exaggerated to be “seen,” sometimes the subtleties of a piece of jewelry or belt, for example, are overlooked. So this is all about those details that make whatever we’re wearing special. Very. Even if you’re the only person who notices because everyone else… Read more →
I don’t wear a lot of intimates in SL other than foundation garments, but I really should. How cute are these? I happen to love the retro stylings from Lacuna and Atomic in these bra and panty sets. You don’t need to show a lot of skin to be sexy (but you do probably need a fuller shape than mine… Read more →
More from Shiny Shabby, the perfect retro, bohemian, vintage collection of treasures. It is so up my fashion alley. I won’t ever tire of it. There is a very special necklace there that I am not showing yet because I need something worthy of it, but I cannot wait to style it! I would not be surprised if practically every… Read more →
A Friday afternoon and I happen to be home, poised to visit Shiny Shabby once again. And fancy that, it’s just as good as last month’s. I also exerted a bit more self control this round….well sort of. There were no major skin releases, so that helped. Starting with a few of my favorites is the farmhouse type dress by… Read more →
As I prepare space in my inventory for Shiny Shabby (yay!!!!)…I take a hard look at what I haven’t worn and consider why…why do things get stuck in my inventory? #1 – Where would I wear it? I love the look of whatever it is but for whatever reason, it won’t be seen beyond my attic skybox. It’s SL so… Read more →
I loved this round of Kawaii Project, but it’s true that I don’t really do kawaii really well >.< Still, I absolutely LOVE these shoes by Kata0nik. They are just tiny bits of perfection. With my pixie hair from Moon, I feel a bit like a pretty little imp. Is that a thing? Another item from Kawaii Project, this sweet… Read more →
There are skins I wear regularly that are so distinct, no one would ever wonder what I am wearing. Glam Affair is one. Belleza is another. Both these brands do impeccable work when it comes to creating varied and distinct skin lines, so expertly crafted it’s no wonder they are some of the grid’s most popular faces. But within each… Read more →
Rose from Mudskin, one of the prettiest new skins for me at Skin Fair. There are 7 makeups (from memory) available per tone; this is #1 in the Sunny tone. The skin comes with many different mole and cleavage tattoos, 2 versions of the skin (one lightly freckled, as above) and 10 different eyebrow versions, plus a no brow version.… Read more →
