The Old Kissing Bridge

PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

The height of romance is a walk in the country, capped off by a kiss on a wooden bridge. The Old Kissing Bridge is the latest main store release from {what next}. It comes with three texture choices, plus lanterns and steps for decoration. There is even a sign that has three choices of text, plus a plain version in case you want to add your own. The bridge rests on stone piers that can be sunk into the ground or left exposed. On my land, it worked best to sink them, so they aren’t visible, but the texturing is lovely.

There are no poses included, but that just means you can choose your own. You can stroll, kiss or cuddle to suit your mood.

It is a truly stunning addition to your landscape, capped off with a kiss.

Nobody’s Fool

PeepSideshow Darkward7 Comments

After I took this photo and was finished processing, I sat back to think about a title. The more I looked at it, the more I thought to myself, “Geez, she looks pissed off!” It’s the look on a woman’s face whenever she is being fed a line that is pure BS: part incredulity and part anger that the speaker believes she might just fall for it. Being April 1st, the title just seemed appropriate.

I am showing off the latest release from fri.day for Uber, the Aloy Booties. These stunning shoes are half boot, half strappy heel and pure sexiness. Perfect for doing a little arch-stomping, if need be. My top from ChicModa from the March BishBox is a great halter that says, “I’m fun, but I’m no nonsense.”

In other words, I’m nobody’s fool.

Just When You Thought Your Lindens Were Safe

Image PeepSideshow Darkward11 Comments

1 Summer Romance sm

Maybe you really did think your bank account was safe. Then the calendar turns over to the 7th, and not only does The Liaison Collaborative open, but so does a brand new event, Bon Voyage! And if you make it through those two events, the page flips to the 8th, and Collabor88 opens. Oh well, no use saving for a rainy day – go forth and spend now!

The Liaison Collaborative this month has tons of lovely things, as you can see from my hair, the lanterns, the stool, the gorgeous olive tree and my pose. Dig into my credits, and you will find all of the details on these gotta-have items. I’ve been teasing with stuff from this event, but now that it is open, you can go see for yourself.

1 Summer Sweetheart sm

Do check out my shoes from fri.day for Bon Voyage. This event, which runs for a full month (August 7 – September 7) is themed around a specific country. The inaugural round centres on Japan. Think kawaii, think adorable, think bunny-eared stockings to go with your heels! The stockings are optional so you can choose to wear the shoes alone, but with that wriggly little nose, why would you?

Even after splurging on these two events, makes sure you save a few coins for the 5th anniversary edition of Collabor88. {what next} brings you this delightful summer house, which will perk up any corner of your garden. I simply adore the bi-fold doors and the metal roof with the finials. (As an aside, did you know you could find that term by googling “pointy bits on a roof?” 😉 ) You can also pick up the potted olive trees – obviously the little brothers of the giant version from The Little Branch from TLC – with the summer house.

So, the moral of the story is…your Lindens are never safe if you stop by my blog!
