Chapter Four has a new round and I fell in love with this playful top.  You get two shirts for the price of one and they are so whimsical!  You can wear them as a dress or if you're like me I decided to pair them up with some leggings.  There are a lot of goodies this month.  You can check it out here.

Serene Sanctuary

I need to organize my inventory.  So as the procrastinator that I am I decided to shop the marketplace and destination guide instead.  I ran across a place called Serene Sanctuary.  It is a lovely place for meditation.  It was raining while I was there which is always a plus for me since I live in AZ where it never rains.

I also found this cute outfit which is  perfect for summer.  This is exactly what we wear here in AZ.  Lot's of air flow on those hot 115 degree days.  What do you do when it is time to organize inventory?

Uber and its many shades of summer

If you haven't been to Uber yet this month you need to go.  There are some gorgeous, bright colorful things waiting for you to purchase.  I had to get this jacket/shirt set in the fatpack just because I couldn't decide on one color.  You can change the jacket, trim and shirt color to mix anyway you want.  It is just perfect for summer.

LOTD

I am currently pretending that it is spring in Second Life.  I live in Arizona and spring started in January and February and apparently we are in summer now.  That means June and July are going to be really bad!  

I love this dress from MotiAme.  It comes with a hud that allows you to change it to a variety of colors including the lace.  You can wear it with or without the denim shirt.

I'm wearing the Lizzie slippers from fri.day who is having an amazing sale right now.  If you haven't picked up those shoes you have been meaning to go now!

The bunny is one of my Ozimal bunnies.  Someday I should spend some time and count exactly how many I have.  I thought she was a nice addition to spring.

Seeing Red...

So I am officially on spring break and I have a little more time for posts and shopping.  Yesterday I went to the Bikers Choice Fair and got this amazing red leather jumpsuit.  It comes in a variety of colors and the fair has tons of stuff for the "biker" in you!

You will notice it has studs on the collar.  It comes with a hud so you can change from silver to gold.  I thought about showing off the booty but then this post would be really graphic heavy!  It does a nice job of making your booty look nice and curvy though.

After I left the fair I headed over to the Luck of the Irish Gacha event.  It has like 39487394 gacha machines and I spent a fortune on Reign's two.  They have some cute shoes in both and rings in one of them.  The rings are awesome and I wanted them all.  My alt always gets the duplicates as she is looking kind of dated of late.

This one shows the cute sandals and the rings.

If you have some spare time and spare change these are two fun events I would definitely check out!

Guilt is a beautiful thing...

Soooo Emerald Wynn asked me when I was going to blog again...well that of course guilted me out because I have been neglecting this blog for a year now. Above is a close up of Belleza's new skin Claudia that they released today.  You get every skin tone now when you buy a skin which is awesome!  It of course comes with the regular hair bases, cleavage, freckles etc. too.

 

My outfit is from The Deck which just opened a new round. The top, shorts and shoes were 95L a piece.  Can't get cute outfits like that for under 300L often.  It is a really good round so head over and grab the bargains.

Ozimals Beach Bunnies!

Soooo...when was the last time you checked out Ozimal's Bunnies?  They have gone to the beach and are hopping around with color!  Right now Ozimal's has beach bunnies available, like the ones pictured above, in Gatcha machines  for 50L. You can get either a towel, a surfboard or a bunny!  I got more bunnies than anything else.  There are even some gorgeous rares too! If you haven't checked out the bunnies at Ozimal's lately it's time to head on over to their new beach and play some Gatcha! You can also read all about the new bunnies and summer fun on the Ozimal's blog here.

Donna Flora

 

Donna Flora and her works of art have been a staple in Second Life for years.  Some are classy, some are quirky, and the jewelry is to die for.  Well, she needs our help right now. To quote  the http://lovedonnaflora.wordpress.com website...

For years, Squinternet Larnia has been an active and well-loved member of the Second Life community. There were items from her store, Donna Flora, at almost every charity fundraiser. When she was asked, she said yes.

December 2011, Squinternet learned she had breast cancer and that it had already metastasized to her bones. Her prognosis was bleak and she was not expected to see the summer. Well, this is the second summer since her diagnosis. She pursued alternative therapies that have helped and given her a hopeful and joyful extra year. However, the cancer has regrouped and her strength is flagging. At the moment she needs home nursing care and is hoping to travel to a cancer treatment center in northern Italy for another last-chance attempt to prove the doctors wrong.

Since she has not been strong enough to release recently, her income from SL has dropped to just enough to maintain her sim. In characteristic Second Life fashion, the community that makes SL what it is has come together to throw a fundraiser for her to help defray her  expenses. While Italy has national health insurance, she must finance any alternative therapies and much of her home nursing care.

It will begin on July 25th and run through August 11th.

One of the ways you can help now is to add to your collection of Donna Flora pieces.  I went and splurged on several new outfits such as the one I'm wearing.  The gown is called Marlene Diva.  I heard someone recently say we should throw out all of our flexi gowns. Whatever! I have several gowns that have flexi that are gorgeous like this one.  I still love the look of flexi and refuse to become a mesh snob.  

I'm also wearing some of her fantastic jewelry.  I turned the ring a bit so you could see it better. This set is called Irina.  The detailing is wonderful and went so well with the gown.  I should mention the gown comes with a fur stole but I live in AZ and it was 129 degrees out when I worked on this picture and I just couldn't put on a fur stole...not even for pretend. lol

Procrastination-meme

So I am officially on spring break and have a bunch of school work to do but of course I am procrastinating and playing SL instead. lol  So when I read Strawberry Singh's blog and her procrastination-meme I just had to do it!

1. What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often? June 13, 2008 (but I have been in game since 2004)
2. Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life? I was actually never a newb. I came here with friends from The Sims Online and our Grandparents had come here first and set up everything so we just showed up and they showed us the ropes and set us all up.
3. Where do you spend most of your SL time now? On the island I share with my best friend.
4. Who is your closest friend in Second Life?Annora Chatnoir   We were mortal enemies the first two years we knew each other but for the last 7 we have been through so much and have really been there for each other.
5. What is the most favorite thing in your inventory? (only pick one)Any of my Ozimal bunnies!
   
6. The last thing you purchased in Second Life? Drift's new top but that may change if I don't publish right away. (shopping addict here)
7. What color clothing does your avatar wear most often? black but I really make an effort to mix it up.
8. Do you prefer to walk, run or fly? I walk.  And embarrassingly I still use my 9yo original freebie sexy walk because nothing is out there I like better...yet.
   
9. What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in SL? Not so much crazy, but awesome...back in my mafia days we planned out this really organized attack on Little Italy that went in stages. We pulled it off perfectly and it was just an awesome sight to see.
10. Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife? Kristen Bell

My Seven SL Facts Meme

Strawberry Singh did a lil challenge called SL Facts Meme over on her site and I decided to bore everyone with 7 facts about me.

1. I came to second life with my family from The Sims Online. Some of them I still talk to which means we have been together, gaming, like 11 years I think.

2. I have had 3 different businesses in game. Only one I would consider successful.

3.  I sometimes go for weeks in game without speaking to a single person. (I recently had my best friend come back to game so that has changed. I used to talk with some great bishes but they all became famous and got too busy to chat.)

4. This game and my Ozimal's bunnies kept me from killing myself when my son stopped talking to me for a year. He is my life and without him there was no point...but I kept logging in here and it kept me going. He is back home now and I am glad I had this platform to log into.

5. I have house ADD.  I change homes constantly because I love decorating and I love the challenge of doing it up nicely with so few prims.

6. I am a recreate of my main which I still have that started in 2004.  I had to recreate to this one and wish I could go back to her but I have too much cool stuff on Whispers now to do that.  I miss her though...

7. People think I am a bitch because I am shy.  I have them tell me that all the time.  I just really am quiet and don't say much.  I never IM anyone...unless I know they are hurting and then I might give them a drive-by hug. :)

*nudges everyone awake*  Carry on with what you were doing now. ;)

I love President's Day!

When I open my reader up and see that COCO has new items out, I almost squeal with delight.  She has been a favorite designer of mine for years and if you aren't a group member you should be.  She is one of the most generous designers on the grid.  This morning (I am home sick) so I was fortunate to see she had released this new dress/ jacket combo.  You can wear them together or the jacket alone.  It is adorable and perfect if you want to wear the jacket around during the day and toss on the skirt for the evening.

I am also wearing the new skin from Belleza and I'm not going to gush too much because others have done it better justice than I am here but I have to say it will take a lot to get me to take this one off again. Belleza is by far my favorite skin and this just took it to a whole new level!

The shoes are from Cliche which can be found on the marketplace and the hair is from Lelutka, an older one but I'm not sure I have ever worn it.  How sad is that.

I do have to mention that COCO has other awesome releases today that I didn't feature and you can read about them here.

Oh Dorothy!

 I have always been a huge fan of the Wizard of Oz and COCO so when the two collided I was so excited to pick up this mesh avatar.  I, of course,  had to head over to the Magic Of Oz Sim and take some photos.  I hopped right on my broom...er in my house and landed there.  I think maybe I landed on somebody. :/

 This seems like a good time to head down the yellow brick road and make my fast get away!  This outfit is free and comes with a gorgeous book with all the other decorative avies.  You can read about it here.

Bodacious Tatas

Who said a bodacious set of tatas couldn't look classy?  So, yes I invested in a pair of Lolas and spent some time adjusting them with my friend the other night.  Then of course the search for clothes that show them off in a favorable light began.  Ladies Who Lunch have just the dress that fit the bill.  This outfit comes in a huge array of colors and you can pick up the applicator for all of them as well.  You have a choice on the sash and can wear it with or without the ruffle.  So if you are interested in a classy outfit to show off your new "ladies" click here.
