Bunnies, Blooms and Baths

PeepSideshow Darkward5 Comments

It is a Home & Garden extravaganza at my place right now. [ keke ] has been going wild with main store releases, including the adorable clipped sketches, refurbished spring drawers (available in three colours) and the glass lamps shown in my photo. In the rush to hit the big events on the grid, don’t forget the pleasure of browsing the home shops of some of your favourite designers. It is a much more relaxed way to shop, with less lag and no pressure to get in and out.

That being said, Bloom is off and running and {what next} has plenty of blooms to offer with their potted tulips, tulip wheelbarrow and pretty watering cans to keep those flowers fresh. They work perfectly together, so grab all the things.

The bathtub is from a larger set from Artis. If you read my blog regularly you can probably tell that I have fallen in love with this posemaker. This set is available at Pose Fair 2017. Do check it out.

And finally, I have fallen in love with the bunnies from JIAN at Collabor88. While they don’t come with Easter eggs, they are just perfect.

I can think of no better way to relax, reflect and revive than with bunnies, blooms and baths.

In The Wake Of Her Destruction

She doesn’t care if she wreaks havoc wherever she goes. She is strong, confident and takes no prisoners. She is dressed for destruction; primed to take no prisoners.

The dress is the main weapon, showing off legs for days plus plenty of dangerous curves. You can find the Tracy Dress from ChicModa at the current round of Cosmopolitan through April 22. The dress comes in multiple solid colours, with several patterns as part of a fatpack exclusive. Hurry; you only have a week to grab this stunner!

The pose and scene are from Exposeur. While RubyStarlight Writer closed her in-world store a while back, she still has a Marketplace presence for a lot of her classic poses and props. You can find her Pose Fair 2017 exclusives at the main landing point, but she has two other booths at the fair, giving you a chance to try out many of her older props. There may even be another new one; I didn’t remember it and of course, had to buy it. I’ll try to feature it before the fair has ended.

I did a lot of damage at Pose Fair, leaving a trail of Lindens in the wake of my destruction. It’s going to be a lean week until payday rolls around!

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Plucking petals is a perplexing way to determine a passionate dalliance. But perhaps it is as scientific as any other type of chemistry.

I am having fun with the poses from Pose Fair 2017. To stage this scene, I combined two poses: the base pose is part of the Angel seat from Artis and the hand and face position is created by adding one of the Bento poses from [addme.]. I am loving the ability to customise poses that Bento has brought to the grid. It is the difference between having a good shot become a perfect one.

I missed last month’s Luxe Box, so I made sure to get in early for April, and I wasn’t disappointed. I adore this ponytail from Moon. Hair. and the jumpsuit from ISON is typically sublime. While you can see little of the skybox from hive in the photo, it is one of my favourites from this subscription box. Don’t be surprised if you see it featured again.

*plucks another petal and stops…was that a “He loves me” or a “He loves me not?”
