This Corona Moment Brought To You By ….


Piddler’s Perch and their free gift for the Homestuff  group members

This Corona Moment Looking Forward

This Corona Moment Looking Forward

It’s lazy days like these that make me not want to leave my home in SL, just spend all my time fixing it up, inviting friends over, and hanging out there. Thank goodness I have help in figuring out how I am going to fix it up, because there is a new group just for this purpose, and, based on the track record of the group organizers, it promises to be a good one. The Homestuff  group is brought to you by Ivy Maverick and Rob1977 Moonites, the organizers of Menstuff and Womenstuff. The group launched March 28, 2012 and designers are invited to fill out the application, if they have home related products and wish to participate as a designer in the group. So far more than 20 creators have taken them up on this invite and placed gifts out in the lounge for collection by group members. The above scene is one of the free gifts that the group members are eligible to get simply for being a member. It’s from Piddler’s Perch and below is the view from the front of the same perch.

The gift, the Fun in the Sun deck set, is quite elaborate and includes the deck, two torches on the deck posts (touch on and off), the two palm tree cluster and shadows, two chairs (each with multiple male and female poses driven by an easy to use touch menu), the table, the 3 candle cluster (touch on and off), and the ice cooler of beers. I know the name was fun in the sun, but I just couldn’t resist shooting the pics at dusk / night so that you could see how lovely it looks when you use the built-in lighting. Rowan Attis, the creator of Piddler’s Perch is not just an exceptional creator, capable of setting an adorable scene, she is thorough, generous and approachable. She strives to make her work better at any opportunity and welcomes comments or questions from her customers. I actually had a question about the freebie and honestly didn’t expect much because it was a free item, but not only did she respond, she treated me to first rate customer service and took the time to make sure that all the issues I had were addressed and taken care of to my satisfaction. If that is the sort of caliber of designers this group is attracting, I can’t wait to see more.

Now for those of you who just want to join the group and take advantage of the benefits such as the adorable freebies like the one shown in this blog, you can do so by joining the Homestuff group in world. You can pick up the free gifts once you are a member at the SLSTUFF LOUNGE http://slurl.com/secondlife/Gizza%20Creations%20II/21/16/72, and you’ll find more information about the group and the creators that are part of it on the Homestuff home page. There will be more blogs posted there soon as they get the staff up and going for the blog. I also will be expecting a pretty awesome Homestuff Hunt one day to go along with the amazing ones already thrown by the organizers. Keep your eyes out for more information on Homestuff.

Happy Valentine’s Day


Mixing Old & New

SL for me has had two primary concentrations for me lately, Back to Black and Sorting Inventory. In the process of doing both, I was able to put together a comfortable Valentine’s day look.

Hugs & Kisses

The skin is a new one from Illusory and is only available from February 8 –  March 7 at the Collaborate themed shopping venue. It is truly lovely. Clean, fresh,and innocently seductive. It is a perfect match for the new Elikatira hair, Abbey. This hair, inspired by one of my favorite broadcasts on Masterpiece Theatre called Downton Abbey, is one I started drooling over as soon as Elika posted a picture of it on Flickr. She has since updated her blog to let all those, like me, who bought it as soon as it released to let us know that a HUD is now available for color changing the ribbon (use the redelivery system in the store to get the latest version which includes the HUD.).

Sweats, Socks, & Shoes

The socks and shoes are both staples of my inventory and I have had them for what seems like forever, although Maitreya didn’t release the socks nearly as far back as I got my Pornstar Hi-tops. They are both so comfortable and casual and go well with so many things. Here I actually doubled up on a copy of the socks to give the tiered look and the color and pattern change options on the shoes allowed me to mix and match for a combination that matched the other items in my outfit.

The sweats are from IREN and they are one of the five colors of sweats being offered from IREN at the Back to Black event. The creator has made a few different options to be able to provide some variety to your shape. Hopefully you can find one that closely fits your own body type. The texturing and accessories are excellent and a fine example of the sort of exciting items that are available at Back to Black. My next post will show a few more items from the event to look forward.

So to all my friends and family out there, Happy Valentine’s Day.

50L Friday Preview Pics – Week 14


OK, Guys it turned out to be a really good week. I really liked most of the items and seriously spent way too much. Here are the links to the items pictured for each designer. Only thing without a picture is the LAP poses because I did not have time before work to unpack and pose and take pictures and upload… ok, you get the picture. 😀 Past performance has been really great poses from lack but may want to check some other blogs if you are unsure because there is no place set out that you can demo the poses before you buy them (VERY FRUSTRATING!) or even see a picture sample of the poses.

Fifty Linden Fridays Week 14 Updated SLURL List


Woke to do the 50 L shopping, there was an updated list. Let me get you the new list and then I will work on preview pics, because they take a little time. Apparently the incorrect landmark sent out was the one for [ glow ] Studio Main Store.

Retiring Hair Sale @ TRUTH


TRUTH LogoTruth Hawks has put over 55 old hairstyles on sale [regular packs 25L – better than any >TRUTH< sale i have ever before seen].

Stop by the store to get the details they are in a notecard you can find in >TRUTH<‘s Group History. I am not able to get in world to get the full details, but I am sure this is one sale no one will want to miss. Runs and buys more lindens.

Trapped in the 80’s Hunt


Trapped in the 80s

Trapped in the 80's Hunt

Basic Rules:

  1. You will be searching high and low for vinyl records. Each will contain a folder with a prize and a landmark that brings you to the next location.
  2. Hints will be available on the official blog for those who are stumped!
  3. There’s a zero tolerance for harassing store owners or hunters throughout this hunt. Please be respectful and make this experience enjoyable for everyone involved.
  4. Keep lag in consideration and lower your rendering cost. What does that mean? Primmy items, accessories, and scripted ao’s and radars should preferably be turned off throughout the duration of the hunt. Just remember: Lag makes people unhappy campers!
  5. Spread the hunt out to a few days if it gets to be too much. There will be 30 vendors in all to ensure the fact that no one gets too crazy by the final destination.
  6. HAVE FUN. Bring a hunting buddy or group. Listen to some 80’s tunes and have a blast!

What to expect:

The hunt’s organizers, Intrigue Co., tell us to expect unisex clothes (yay! guys you don’t get shafted in this one), furniture, poses, gestures and more. “Everything you need to showcase your 80’s child within.” Based on the hints list that will be up when they start the hunt (http://trappedinthe80s.blogspot.com/2009/10/hints-trapped-in-80s.html) looks like they are planning on about 30 stops. So this will be a reasonably sized hunt but not over whelming. And you know you can also expect tons of fun with this kind of theme.

50L Friday Preview Pics


OK, so there is not a pic for every one of the 50L purchases, but I did manage to snag several before work. These pics are the taken of the display boxes that are put out by each of the stores. They are not my actual wearing / displaying of the object and taking a a pic. One from This Is A Fawn is even from OMGWTF Barbecue‘s flickr site. The idea here is to help you get a preview of the gifts without having to go to the site. Those of us who suffer with lag, know how bad Fifty Linden Fridays can be. It is only because the designers are doing such an incredible job of making things that we, consumers just love.

This week, the designers and their offerings are as follows:

  1. This is a Fawn: (This gift is at her new location and it is looking good) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sunset%20Glory/56/118/25
    This Is A Fawn - 50L Week 8 - Deep Dye Deep V-Neck

    This Is A Fawn - 50L Week 8 - Deep Dye Deep V-Neck

    This Is A Fawn - 50L Week 8 - Leda Dress

    This Is A Fawn - 50L Week 8 - Leda Dress

    From the woman who started it all and never ceases to amaze me, come two adorable products … If only i had that dress yesterday. It would have made a great nighty for the slumber party that I went to.

  2. Kookie: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cupcake/156/55/36
    Kookie - Poweder Puff Spikeys - 50L Week 8

    Kookie - Poweder Puff Spikeys' - 50L Week 8

    Love these! Will be wearing them with my SOS Hunt Gift #1 from [PR!TTY] they are a perfect match! And they are so pr!tty themselves. With fall coming the orange and brown in these shoes, you should easily find many opportunities to wear these.

  3. Clawtooth by Clawtooth: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tableau/128/128/2
    Clawtooth by Clawtooth - 50L Week 8 - Good Evening - Special Colors Only Available At 50L Fridays

    Clawtooth by Clawtooth - 50L Week 8 - Good Evening - Special Colors Only Available At 50L Fridays

    Both hair styles are offered in two special colors that are “brand spankin’ new” and they are luscious reds, “Delicious wine” and “Strawberry cream”. Also you get both colors for each hair when you buy the pack for 50L. This is double the value of some of Bubbles‘ past 50L Friday Packs.

    Clawtooth by Clawtooth - 50L Week 8 - Sugar Biscuit

    Clawtooth by Clawtooth - 50L Week 8 - Sugar Biscuit - Special Colors Only Available At 50L Fridays

    “Sugar Biscuit” is Bubbles‘ new CBC hair and as Bubbles says, “it’s a saucy loose updo with a scripted color change headband, and there’s even a tasteful bit of flexi added for you flexi loving ladies.” And just like Good Evening it is only available in the special colors for 50L Friday Week 8.

  4. Kunstkammer: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Emmelia/242/140/67

    Kunstkammer - 50L Week 8 - Reactive Beaded Curtain

    Kunstkammer - 50L Week 8 - Reactive Beaded Curtain

    This curtain is scripted to react to avatars passing through and gives the option to have shadows or not and even a security prim option. Clever!

    Kunstkammer - 50L Week 8 - Coin Necklace

    Kunstkammer - 50L Week 8 - Coin Necklace

    Picture is worth a thousand words in this case. What will you wear this necklace with?

  5. Whippet & Buck: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Imogen/63/231/25This one was not out when I went round this AM, BUT every gift to-date from W&B has been awesome. I will definitely be going back for it this afternoon / evening.
  6. Fishy Strawberry: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sanchon/50/159/32
    Fishy Strawberry - 50L Week 8 - Waist Jacket

Fifty Linden Fridays – Week 8


It’s time for 50L Fridays again!! I have missed a few weeks and it is so good to be back. So what is 50L Fridays you say? Well every Friday, a group of designers will place an item in the front of their main store marked down to only 50L. The item might be something from the store marked down, or maybe an exclusive, special item. Each week the designers and items rotate. The items will be available from 12:01 am SLT on Friday until 11:59pm SLT on Friday, this can vary a bit from time to time when the designers get tied up 😀. You can get the items by following the SLURLs in this post.

50L Fridays: Week 4

My favorite way to do this is to start a group chat with all your friends interested in the 50L Friday Designs, then copy and past the below SLURLs in the group chat. That way everyone has the links. This week, the designers are:

  1. This is a Fawn: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sunset%20Glory/56/118/25

Rockabilly Styling For Men And Women


So he thinks he is Walking the Line, but she sees him as more a Dead Man Walking. The great thing about rockabilly style is that it is fun and flirtatious, creative and retro, sexy and conservative, open for all kinds of interpretation with something everyone young and old can appreciate. There is even clean cut and gritty versions. And if you really want to talk about women’s lib look up Women of Rockabilly. There is a particularly interesting documentary called Welcome to the Club: Women of Rockabilly.

When my friend Hank Acronym said he wanted to look like Sean Penn in walk the line the same day that I was decked out in Adreahna Vlodovic’s [AV] 50’s Housewives All Black (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Venus/104/24/28),

it seemed a match made in heaven. So we started on the hunt for the best Rockabilly hair around. Men’s hair is never easy, and this particular style is even more elusive. Plus, we needed more than just the hair, we had to have the chops and the goatee, too. We found the hair at Pirate Arts on this great sim, ConneXXion Sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/ConneXXion/144/50/25), and the goatee at Calico Creations. The style needed to be a step up from grunge / greaser, because we decided to hang out and do the photos in the dinner / lounge on the sim. Here is what we came up with.

Hank Acronyms Rockabilly Style - Click the picture for full style details

Hank Acronym's Rockabilly Style - Click the picture for full style details

My own style just happened to be what I had thrown on that day feeling kind of retro at the time. Maybe it had something to do with it being Elvis Week in my home town of Memphis, TN, week long celebration of the singers life for an entire week on the aniversary of his death. I have been feeling that kind of retro feel in general of late so maybe that is all it was. I think it is also likely that the new skin that I purchased from []::Tuli::[] could have something to do with it. It is called ::SUMI:: beauty in sunkissed skin collor and has the most adorable freckles and pouty red lips.

In any case the D’Orsey Heals in Black and the [AV] 50s House Wife dress with Ruby hair from >Truth< was just the trick. Not one who normally wears jewelry in Real Life or in Second life, I am really careful when I do choose what I want to wear and though it was out of its intended style range, there isn’t a choice that could have pleased me more than the Kaya Onyx  Bracelets & Earrings in *silver* from Zaara (I think that stands for goddess of all things design.). I would like to add that I don’t know many housewives from the 50s who were wearing winged hearts witn love banners across the heart on the back of their dresses. Maybe the ones that were were the forerunners to the future desparate ones. One last note, though none of the styles are pictured here if you like the Rockabilly look or the retro / pinup looks you should also check out Artilleri (http://slurl.com/secondlife/artilleri/106/70/24)

You can hang out at the dinner and listen to some tunes while you bebop along.
