Them Apples

For those of you on the grid who love the Blueberry Butt (which is probably 98% of females and 107% of males), meet the Apple May Bottom. I admit when I opened the pack of Taylor Pants from Apple May Designs I thought, “Oh, a pair of pants. Big deal.” And then I tried them on. The first thing I noticed was the lace waistband and I squeeeeeed just a little. Then I cammed around and saw the back. And I fell in love. Just look at that bum! This is a pair of pants that should NEVER be worn with a long shirt or jacket! Doing that would be akin to putting a drop cloth over the Mona Lisa.

And these pants are dressy. They are textured in a soft, clingy fabric and have a flared bottom, which covers your shoes (sorry, that didn’t make it past the editing). Paired with this adorably soft and feminine top from TETRA, the open back leads the eye to the highlight of the masterpiece: The Apple May Bottom.

You, too, can have this perfect backside by visiting the Apple May Designs booth at Mesh Body Addicts through December 10. Go ahead; you know you want it!

Ladies and gentlemen of Second Life…how about them apples?

Warm At Twilight

1-warm-at-twilight-sm

Usually when I am doing a Home & Garden post, I build a set, shoot the photos and immediately take everything down. It’s not that I don’t like the looks I create; rather, I am generally just trying to be tidy and clear the space for the next go around. This time, however, while collecting the credits, I plopped down on the sofa with a sigh. I’m not sure exactly why I did it; it might be because the sofa from .. Warm Animations .. for Shiny Shabby looked so inviting. Perhaps it was because this room has a different feel than most of my settings (slightly more masculine, don’t you think?) Or possible it was because it was a chilly day for spring and the sun had just set in my real world and I simply wanted a comfortable spot to rest my bones.

Whatever the reason, I sat back and relaxed, quiet at home, warm at twilight.

Lazy Autumn Stroll

1-lazy-autumn-stroll-sm

Autumn is my favourite time for taking a walk. With the nip in the air, it is always best to have a big, warm guy to tag along. There is no need to hurry; dawdling is encouraged.

There are tons of new autumn-appropriate items floating around the grid this month. Starting with me, the dress from *Just BECAUSE* comes with a bolero to keep your arms nice and snug. The leg warmers from fri.day keep my legs toasty and the hat from JfL keeps the heat from seeping out of my head.

Chance has a totally new look (see below for all of his meshy wonderfulness), including the jacket/shirt combination from VRSION. Given my appalling lack of male fashion sense, I was thrilled to see this combo and sent Chance running to TMD to pick it up. He has even grown a beard for the season, compliments of an awesome group gift from NO.MATCH!

On to the scene…I am in love with the bicycle prop from {what next}. With a basket chock-full of pumpkins, it is perfect for a fall setting. With contributions from Apple Fall and Kalopsia, plus the finishing touch of the wrought iron fence from Botanical, we found the ideal spot to rest on our lazy autumn walk.
