It’s A Dirty Job

1 It's a dirty job sm

The things a girl will do to afford new shoes! Just look at this mess! Dirty clothes on the floor, stinky shoes left sitting out, wet towels on the floor and ewww…I’m gonna have to go get a mask and gloves before I go near that toilet!

But the shoes are worth it. Ultra high sexy babydoll pumps with optional stockings – yes, I said optional, so you get two looks for the price of one. Because they’re from fri.day, you know they’re beautifully made. They’re available at the new round of Uber, so you may have to try several times to get in, but they are truly worth the effort. You can always polish the sink while you’re waiting 😉

Save My Seat

1 Save My Seat sm

It’s a common problem for a pet owner. You get up to grab a drink and come back to your furry friend curled up on your seat. If you have a dog, he will probably look at you with sad eyes, tail thumping slowly, hoping you don’t displace him. For cat owners, you know well that glare that says, “What? It’s full of warm. Go find another place to sit, Human.”

My darling little puss has this look down cold. She is usually only willing to give up her spot in exchange for a brushing. She normally wins.

Do make sure to check the shopping list today. There are TONS of goodies from several events to drool over. I do want to draw your attention to the desk set and accessories from .tree at Wayward Winter. You are most likely familiar with Karla Marama’s work as the designer of Pr!tty (store currently closed for remodeling). Karla has undertaken creating “trinkets and furniture” under the brand .tree . While she hasn’t yet opened a store in Second Life under this brand, you can find her lovingly crafted treasures exclusively at Wayward Winter. Each one is created with attention to detail, care and amazing quality. You don’t want to miss out on this chance to snatch up her work.

I’m heading over myself in a few minutes…save my seat.

Pretty Stuff I’m Showing Off

1 Once Upon A Winter's Night A sm

Yesterday marked my third year of blogging. It amazes me how some days it feels as if I have been blogging for 30 years and others it feels as if I have been blogging for 30 minutes. Like a lot of things, blogging has gone in cycles for me. I will go into a frenzy and post daily for a while, then I might drop off for a week…on a couple of occasions, longer than that. When blogging begins to seem like a chore, I am more likely to take a break until something inspires me to dust off the camera and shoot another photo. Or 12.

I am fortunate to be an official blogger for several creators and events. I take this responsibility seriously; I do my best to blog everything that I am given. The only times I don’t is when either time or inspiration (or both) prevent me from presenting the items to my very best. No, I am not the most gifted photographer in Second Life. Nor am I the most verbose author in the blogging realm. But I am honest and always try to blog with integrity.

I learned the hard way to blog only things that I would buy myself. That is how I started; simply photographing and writing about things I had purchased and loved. I don’t apply to blog for designers or events that aren’t regulars on my shopping list and I have turned down a lot of offers from designers, simply because their style didn’t fit my own. If you read the credits at the end of my posts, you will see that I head them with “Pretty stuff I’m showing off.” That isn’t just a tag line; it is more or less my philosophy of blogging. If it’s pretty and I like it, I want to show it off for the designer who has chosen to share his or her talent with us.

I was asked just a few days ago what my blogging specialty was. It really was a question that stumped me. I rambled on about fashion, H&G and even location shots, but never really did answer the question. After thinking about it for a few days I have come to the realisation that my specialty is simply, “Pretty things I’m showing off.”

Thank you to all of the designers who have given me the gift of your talent, the readers who have been here since nearly the beginning (Cao, Wendz, Rwah, Alexa, Cheri) and those who have stopped by frequently without leaving a comment. I’d love if you did; comments to me are the beginnings of conversations, and conversations lead to friendships.

I’ll leave my ramblings off for now, and let you get to the good stuff. You know…
