D is for Demo. Or Disaster

1 D is for Demo

D is for oh, dear! I had an attempted shopping day a couple of days ago. I say attempted, because I tried my luck at The Home Show. I got in, but it was full and after standing in one store for about 30 minutes, less than half of the items had rezzed. I tried cam shopping, but more or less ran into the same problem. Repeatedly. All in all, I spent a little over an hour there and finally gave up with plans to go back another day.

So since I had Lindens burning a hole in my pocket, I hopped over to FaMESHed. I knew I was in for the same problem there when I saw nothing but floating heads, missing vendors and orange puffs. Fortunately, things started to rez after several minutes but I knew better than to try on demos there.

So, off I flew home. Now, I didn’t originally plan to try on four different demos at the same time, but I was still suffering lag and although I thought I had removed each one when they didn’t show up initially, they obviously had a different idea. Suddenly they all appeared. Well, about half way. And there they stayed. They wouldn’t fully settle onto my body and they would NOT come off! I was giggling as I took this quick snapshot before logging off to try later.

I went back the next day and bought all four items I tried on, after logging back in to a completely normal avatar, albeit dressed in nothing but demos. I even changed before I headed back to do my shopping.

Disaster averted. And my “D” entry was completed.

1 IDC Negril for The Challenge

By the time this round of The Challenge is over I think I am going to have to have some pages added to my passport. From Kentucky to Germany, on to Turkey and now Jamaica, I feel like I have completed a round-the-world trip.

Alyssa Warden of Ishtari Design Concepts had created the Negril set, complete with gazebo, furniture, plants, accessories and even a Jamaican flag fluttering gently in the breeze. This set slotted in nicely on the northern shore at home, allowing both the rising and setting sunlight to filter through, yet protecting me from the worst of the midday heat. It is a lovely spot to entertain or to just flop down for a mid-afternoon nap.

After my travels this week, I could use that nap.

New-to-me Meme: Time To Have Fun

Image PeepSideshow Darkward10 Comments

1 New-to-me_064

I am going to admit that I am not very imaginative. When Strawberry Singh’s Monday Meme came out this week I had to stop and think a bit. She has asked that we blog something we haven’t blogged before. So I set about to figure out what I could do that I hadn’t already done. I have done fashion posts, home & garden, landscape & location shoots, reviews, tutorials, commentary and even real-life photos. I was kind of stumped for what I could do.

That pretty much left me with a bottle of peroxide.

It is only as I am sitting here, writing the actual post after having shot and processed the photo, that I remembered that I have blogged myself as a blonde – and even for another challenge (insert blushy face here). I went blonde when I created my movie poster meme several months ago – one of my favourite challenges ever. I was also a male in that photo, another thought I had but eliminated since I had already shown my masculine side. I just didn’t recall that I had gone blonde for the other half of that picture. So I’m going to discount it, since I wasn’t really me in that shot – I was Meg Ryan.

I have always said I have a recessive blonde gene, so I am going to use that as a defense and go ahead and post this 😀

In case you want to play along or check out other entries, here are the details:

Blog something you’ve never blogged before and/or something you normally wouldn’t blog. This is more of a photography themed meme, with a focus on visuals of the item(s) you’ve never blogged before, however, if you prefer to make it a written meme and just write about something you normally wouldn’t write about, that’ll work as well. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and share your images in the blog memes flickr group.

I’m not convinced that blondes have more fun, but it felt perfectly natural when I walked into a wall after donning my platinum wig 😉
