New-to-me Meme: Time To Have Fun

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 😉

Hello SoCal, Goodbye .::Vivid::.

1 Vivid Closing Sale

I really wanted to be one of the first people who showed photos of this gorgeous sim, SoCal, but I got stuck in the jumping castle and a lot of people have beaten me to it. I’m not going to worry about it though – it is a fun sim that does catch the vibe of Southern California. I lived there for almost a year and while it wasn’t the best year of my life and I would never move back again, it is a great place to visit.

Now I can do it from the comfort of my desk chair instead of traveling 13 hours to get there 😉

It has it all…gacha stalls and stores (still filling up), a bands shell, a ferris wheel and yes, a jumping castle, cliffs, beach and of course, a pier. It was rather busy while I was there with people hanging out on the beach and checking out the gacha goodies. It is a fun sim and I have no doubt it will continue to be a destination for photographers.

I am wearing an outfit from .::Vivid::., which is sadly going out of business on March 2. Everything in the store will be at least half price – with some items as low as 25L. It is a great time to go and stock up on casual clothes (a lot of them with colour-change HUDs), makeup, Slink nail appliers and shapes. I want to thank Honey Bernandes, the designer, for allowing me to blog for her over the past several months. Some of my most fun-loving posts have been shot while wearing her clothes (cleaning house, fighting off zombies, trying to get to the North Pole).

Honey will keep her Marketplace store, so she is not disappearing from the grid completely. I wish her the best and hope that things settle down in real life that she might be able to come back from time to time with something new to delight us!
