*Just BECAUSE*

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.

Well, I’m recovering from a very nasty flu that has been sweeping Australia, so while I had photos ready for posts, I just couldn’t drag myself to my computer to finish them. I’m going to be doing a couple of posts a day so you can see all the things I have to show you, but they will be short on commentary, heavy on credits for the low down on where to find them.

It’s always about the pretty stuff I’m showing off, anyway 🙂

Nicki Remembers

As soon as I tried on these panties, I had the lyrics to “Darling Nikki” by Prince running through my head and I just had to grind! Of course, I can’t do it quite like I used to, so this photo was taken as I was panting and desperately trying to recover.

The panties are actually magic; they have been designed to work with every skirt by Just BECAUSE from the end of July into the future. Currently, Annie Melson provides two versions of her skirts – one without panties and one with them in-built. This new pair gives you the option of adding them whenever you want to, without having to have two versions of the same skirt in your inventory. They come in a fatpack only, but there are 75 textures in the HUD, so you’ll be able to match any skirt she releases. And, they’re amazing just by themselves!

And everyone knows, when you’re grinding in your knickers, you’ve got to have long, lustrous hair to swing with you. The Lina hair by [NANI] from the July round of BishBox fits the bill and is even swept back, keeping your face free of those annoying flyaways.

The final piece to the puzzle is a pair of sexy come-get-me sandals, provided by fri.day. These sexy heels are available at the birthday round of Uber and definitely give your calves that stretch you need for the perfect strut.

After getting your groove on, you can just recline in a becoming manner and remember those words:

Come back Nikki, come back
Your dirty little Prince
Wants to grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind
