1 Stopping Traffic sm

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll realise that I don’t do urban. You’ll also know that I love the juxtaposition of extremes. So knowing I had this feminine and sexy teddy from Apple May Designs to blog, I wanted to do something different. That’s why I didn’t photograph it yesterday; my brain was still pretty much mush from my work week.

Then this morning, while sipping a cup of coffee and scrolling through my Facebook feed, I saw the telephone booth from .UNTITLED. and I had to have it. It’s from a brand new store; two versions of the phone booth are all that are for sale at this time. But I am looking forward to whatever Supremebeing creates.

Then came my dilemma. How was I supposed to use lingerie with this creation? Urban grunge was the only thing I could come up with.

Oh, joy.

Having a sister who loves to create spaces with an urban feel helped out. I remembered one of Rwah’s go-to grunge designers and quickly hit Marketplace. Plus, being a gacha fiend, I knew I had some things from DRD that would work. Find a pose, throw in some mist and done!

I’m still not good at urban, but I know I’m going to be stopping traffic.

A Winter Scene

1 A Winter Scene sm

Frigid winter days are usually best spent cuddled up inside with a crackling fire, a snuggly blanket and good book. But once you look outside and see the sun sparkling off of the frozen pond, snow just begging to be turned into a snowman or snowballs and the promise of hot cocoa when your fingertips have turned blue inside your mittens, the comforts of home become a place to return to after a bit of fun in the crisp winter air.

A Crazy Cat Lady Christmas

1 Crazy Cat Lady Christmas sm

What can I say? I would probably be a Crazy Cat Lady if my one little darling wasn’t such a princess who shows disdain for any other feline. But that didn’t stop me from loading up on these precious creatures to decorate my Second Life home. In case you are one of the two or three people who haven’t yet seen them, they are from Jian at The Winter Gacha Festival. Look at that little sweetie digging her claws into my new boots from fri.day! And that tiny imp peeping at me from around the corner of the fireplace from Nefarious Invention. I guess it’s only fitting that two of the wee creatures are trying to enjoy milk and breakfast from Jian (although the delicious food items are available at Wayward Market).

All in all, I think my Christmas will be merry with the meowing and purring of my newest little friends 🙂
