Still Life With Redhead

1 Eve & Apple sm

As Christmas nears, I am getting busier and busier. I know that’s nothing special; everyone is these last few weeks. The season of giving requires a lot of taking, too: taking of time, energy, money and patience as we battle through the traffic and crowds to complete our Christmas preparations.

When it gets to be too much, it is nice to be able to just sit for a while, enjoy the calm of our surroundings and just breathe. No need for movement; just blending in with the scenery.

You can create your own still life* by just checking through the shopping list I have provided below.

When The Bough Breaks

1 Cold Out sm

Winter is slowly finding its way to Second Life. While there are still some sims sporting autumn colours and some that just stay the same summery or springy style all year round, there are more and more opportunities to frolic in the virtual snow. Pull on some snug boots, throw on your favourite jeans and toss on a sexy jacket and you’re prepped for stepping out or just lounging on the nearest branch.

Since I didn’t get to partake of Thanksgiving dinner this year, I’m hoping I’ll be able to get out of this pose before the bough breaks.

This cute jacket will be 50% off at Apple May Designs on November 29th for Lazy Sunday. It comes in a variety of colours – something that will suit your mood, I’m certain. The boots by fri.day are available at Kustom9 through Dec. 10th. You can check the credits for all of the other goodness.

Party Girl Wanna Be

1 Party Girl Wanna Be sm

In her heart, she’s really a party girl.

Her nails are painted, fingers and toes. She has the dress, shiny and red. She has the champagne, already chilled. She even has the sign reminding her to celebrate.

But she knows that when the polish is dry and the dusk fades to night, it will be a party for one. One lonely champagne flute for one lonely girl. Too pretty to keep hidden away, but the mannequin will be the one still modeling the dress when the party starts and ends.

She’s a party girl wanna be. In her heart, she wants to dance through till dawn. In her soul, the music never stops. But in her head…a wanna be is all she will ever be.

Don’t be like her; head over to My Attic @ The Deck. The theme is “It’s My Party” and you can find tons of party gear. It runs through November 30th, so don’t let the clock strike before it’s over.
