Event Overload

Image August 16, 2014PeepSideshow Darkward8 Comments

I seem to be suffering from Event Overload. It is that time of month where first-of-the month events are now becoming easily accessible and the middle-of-the month events are open. I do have my favourites that I never miss, but new ones pop up all the time to snag my interest.

For those of you who are The Seraphim Social and Serafilms devotees, this round of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe will be the last event until the new year. The brain children behind the amazing Seraphim blog who keep us up to date on events in Second Life are taking a break until next year, when they will be coming back with new events. Be sure to drop by to see all the lovely items inspired by one of my favourite books.

The Theme Park is also open now. With the theme “Some Like It Hot,” it is perfect for those of you in summer and those of us needing a little winter warmer!

And there is another event that has a short run, but is dedicated to helping out a talented creator. I don’t know Ulaa Coronet personally, but I have long been a fan of her *Funky*Junk* brand. < 3 Ulaa is an event that runs from August 14-18 to aid Ulaa in raising the funds to take her son to visit her mother, who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Ulaa hasn’t been able to make the trip to visit her mother since long before her son was born. This trip is not just to introduce a grandson to a grandmother, but a chance for Ulaa to say her goodbyes. It is a sad story, but hopefully we can all help Ulaa’s dream come true. For more information, you can visit Ulaa’s gofundme page.

Of course, there are tons more events happening; you can visit the Seraphim website anytime to keep up on what is happening around the grid with previews of all of the tempting goodies!

I swear I am going to get this post done if it kills me! I have attempted it three times and with the recent changes to WordPress, I keep losing all of the text from my drafts 😦 Somehow, I have managed to get back the previous version of the editor (don’t ask me how; it just spontaneously appeared), so I am determined to get this up before everything in this post is old news!

*copies all text to the clipboard and continues typing*

If you’re like me, you may have been stymied by the Nathalie outfit by Legal Insanity at the Black Fashion Fair this past weekend. Inexplicably, the entire range was shown, but wasn’t set for sale 😦 I’m sure poor DATRIP Blackbard was besieged by IMs and note cards from frantic shoppers trying desperately to purchase this cute set. As you can see from the photo, it is now available so if you missed out on the weekend, be sure to head back.

You’ll also have to wait to snag this adorable hairstyle from *~*Damselfly*~*. It will be featured in the upcoming round of The Theme Park, which begins Friday, August 15. *~*Damselfly*~* was one of the first hair stores I frequented when I joined Second Life almost six years ago. I am thrilled to see they are still pumping out cute styles!

*swears at the small photo that I can’t resize, throws up my hands and walks off in half a huff*

(Only half a huff because at least I got the bloody thing posted!)

*Seriously wonders what has happened to WordPress, pats myself on the back for winning this round and heads off in search of alcohol*

Being Scarlett

Image June 13, 2014PeepSideshow Darkward5 Comments

“I’ll think of it tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”
― Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

I have to admit that I have a tendency to be Scarlett more often than I should. Oh, I’ve never made a dress out of drapes but I do tend to postpone thinking about things that should probably be faced and dealt with right away. It didn’t always work out for Scarlett, so I’m not sure if I’ve chosen the right role model. But after so many years of following her philosophy, it’s tough to change my ways.

I’ll think about that tomorrow, too.

This month’s round of The Seraphim Social is based on the book “Gone With The Wind” by Margaret Mitchell. It is an iconic American novel made famous by the movie of the same name. I remember sitting through the movie (all four hours of it) twice in one day. It is probably the only movie that comes close to being as good as book, in my opinion.

The dress I am wearing is from [ SAKIDE ] and is available at The Seraphim Social. While the sliver of midriff that shows isn’t true to the period, if anyone would have worn it, it would have been Miss Scarlett.

Also available at TSS is the lovely :: Melly :: necklace and earrings by Cae and the Slink nail appliers from {Wicked} Peach.

Don’t be a Scarlett; hurry over to The Seraphim Social today!

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

*Dress: [ SAKIDE ] Scarlet Summer Gown GWTW by Kinu Mayako (available at The Seraphim Social June 2014)
