Auntie Peep’s Bedtime Story

Something a little different at MadPea International Food Fair is this nursery scene and pose/prop set from -NOeditiON-. These prizes (plus another pose/prop set) are rares in their gacha. The scene is very detailed and the pose comes with two different babies – one light, one dark. They are great photography sets and of course, if you have your own little one, you can read to him. While I have cropped the shot closely to really only show the bed, the scene is actually a full room, complete with an armchair for snuggling, bookshelves, toys and other props. It is well worth trying your luck for this really well-done scene.

My outfit is a mix and match set, with an older top to go with this new mainstore release by *Just BECAUSE*, the Tori pencil skirt and adorable plats from fri.day, available at the latest round of Uber.

Unusually for me, this is a raw shot, other than cropping. I decided to let the scene tell the story itself. Just like Auntie Peep should do.

Oh how you sparkle
and oh how you shine.
That flush on your cheeks
is more than the wine.
And he must do something
that I didn’t do
whatever he’s doing,
it looks good on you.

~ from “You Look So Good In Love” by George Strait

Too Stinkin’ Hot To Blog

1-too-stinking-hot-to-blog-sm

I interrupt my regularly scheduled blogging to try to get relief from an historic heatwave in Sydney. Not only is this the hottest summer in general since they began keeping records, but the last three days here have been comparable to the middle of the Gobi Desert, Death Valley or the bowels of hell itself. While I normally relish the weekends, I find myself longing for our air conditioned offices at work on this muggy Sunday morning. Not for my job; just for the cool air. No, I don’t have air con at home. And sitting at my computer is the equivalent of sitting in front of a roaring fireplace or inside a blast furnace; I’m not sure which at this point. Maybe both. At the same time.

My inspiration has melted, along with my deodorant, my disposition and even my will to live. I am holding on for the cool change promised later this evening, although my grip is slipping due to the sweat that is dripping from my fingertips as they slip and slide across the keyboard. My eyes are watering, although I am not sure if it is from perspiration or tears of despair.

I plan on catching up on blogging during the week, once this hellfire subsides. In the meantime, please peruse the credits for info on this lovely top from *Just BECAUSE* for Collabor88, along with the coordinating skirt and leg sleeves from Vinyl and the hair and makeup found at The Liaison Collaborative.

I do apologise for not giving more detail, but it’s just too stinkin’ hot to blog 😦
