Tea & Sympathy

Image PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

Just when I thought I was completely over the flu, I got hit with it again. This is a very nasty strain that seems to cycle back and just torment you with a sore throat, headache and rumbling cough. I can say, unequivocally, that I am over it.

Over having it; not actually over it. So I am dosing myself with loads of tea with honey and lemon and resting as much as possible. Thanks to [ keke ], I can serve up my tea in style with this weekend’s 50L special, the “hard to find set” in blush. This is an amazing bargain, with eight pieces in a lovely shade for one small price.

You can find this set at the [ keke ] mainstore if you, too, need tea and sympathy.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

On The Edge Of Forever

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

I think it’s wonderful to find accessories designed for the Water Horse Riding Horse at mainstream events. Jinx has once again done this at The Liaison Collaborative. This time it is a side saddle and a dress that works with it. The top is an Omega applier and the skirt is pretty much one-size-fits all and comes with a colour-change HUD. You will need to alpha out your legs and possibly your pelvis (like I did), but it makes for a lovely ensemble. Best of all, the saddle comes with versions for both the Warmblood (English) and Quarter Horse (Western). Since there are a lot more accessories for the Quarter Horse available, this is very welcome news for us Warmblood owners!

Also good to know for Water Horse owners is that Calas Galadhon Park has riding trails set up all throughout the sims. There is a particularly long coastal trail that covers the full perimeter of the park. And for those of you who don’t own a horse, they have rezzers in some of the sims, including double riders so you can enjoy the park with your loved one or friend. Do remember that these sims are maintained for our use by two individuals, so if you are able, please leave a donation to assist with the upkeep at one of the several donation stations set up throughout the park.

When riding along the trails, there are lots of places to stop and enjoy the scenery. I just happened to do it here, on the edge of forever.

I wasn’t even afraid to look down.

Secrets Into The Wind

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

I did a bit of wandering yesterday in Second Life. I visited several sims and took photos at them all. Some will make it into my blog; others will probably just sit in a folder until one day I reopen it to see what I have seen. I love immersing myself in others creativity and while I do that on a regular basis with fashion and the occasional H&G post, I am usually most inspired when I do a bit of traveling.

When I land on a destination sim, I always start with the region Windlight setting. I want to understand the mood the creator tries to convey. I also make sure I have my stream running to soak up the sounds that accompany the landscape. And then I roam, just looking for a while, and usually end up taking pictures. When I do this, I try to create a story with the images that I share.

I felt a bit whimsical in the outfit I chose and that suited de*cid*u*ous, a pastoral location. It seemed a good place to whisper a few secrets and allow them to dance in the wind.

And at one point, I do believe it whispered back.
