And She Whinges

Yep, I’m gonna whinge (whine) a bit today.

I haven’t been feeling too well and I should be working on photos I shot for a friend on the weekend, but I just don’t seem to have the energy or concentration to give them the attention they deserve. But I wanted to post something today, so I clicked through a folder of older shots I took for an image I could work with.

I recently changed to a lovely, pale skin by Tuli, Helena. And I love it. But I also love the Meg skin I previously wore by Akeruka. This was a shot I took when I wore that skin daily. It was originally a much darker photo I had bypassed, but I’ve been playing around with tinting and curves and decided it would be a good practice shot before I go back to working on what I should be doing instead.

I always feel a bit pouty when I wear this skin. Kinda like I do today – just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

I’m a bad blogger 😦 I missed the Weekly Photo Challenge yesterday and didn’t blog at all. I’m using the fact that I had a roaring headache all day and the cold/flu/ickiness that I thought I was over seemed to have come back. I guess a day of playing couch potato helped though, because I’m feeling much better today.

I did spend part of my slothful time checking out some of my favourite blogs. And of course, this one by Chic Aeon caught my eye – food and fetishes? Hmmm…yeah, that works for me! Certainly, waffles are delectable, but this girl went straight for the cupcakes!

These pose props, part of the SugarRush Calendar set from (*chanimations, are nothing but fun! They are cleverly named (Waffellatio?!, OrangeOrgy and Ice My Berry are just three that had me giggling) and highly detailed with loads of options for utilising the poses. There are even different versions, depending on how much detail you want and how many prims you have to spare. Click the photos for a better view of the amazing detail. You can check out all of the choices in the Main Theatre at (*chanimations.

While I didn’t spring for the full 12-month calendar pack, I did grab another set. But you’ll have to wait until another day to see the other one I chose. Right now, I’m sticky sweet and heading into a sugar coma 😉

Single Frame Stories: Weapon – When She’s Smiling

1 Weapon03

There is no weapon in the feminine armory to which men are so vulnerable as they are to a smile.
~ Dorothy Dix

I’m not a big weapon person. I learned to shoot a shotgun when I was young because my Dad believed if there was one in the house, we should know how to use it. I never did, beyond my lessons. I don’t role play in Second Life (although I did have a brush once with James Bond and a zombie or two), so my choices were limited for a prop for this week’s Single Frame Stories prompt: Weapon.

So I turned to the best thing I had in my arsenal: my smile 🙂
