New Beginnings, Happy Endings

I honestly can’t believe that 2017 is half over! We passed the winter solstice here in Australia about a week ago and are heading toward spring. July will soon be upon us.

The end of June is a new beginning for the mega-event, Uber. It has been open for just a few days with a Camping theme and *Just BECAUSE* has this great tank top that is designed to fit perfectly with a pair of shorts. Another late-in-the-month event is the subscription box, BishBox, which releases at noon on the 20th of each month. Those shorts I mentioned are from the June round and come in three delicious leather textures. It’s not too late to head to the BishBox Headquarters and grab your box (3000L post-release vs. 1500L pre-release).

The happy ending I mentioned is The Arcade, where you can pick up these adorable sandals from fri.day. What is happy about this? Well, for the next few days (until June 30th) you can easily get into the event to try your luck at the most popular gacha event on the grid. No desperate multiple TP attempts, no waiting ages for things to rez and all of the glorious gacha goodies for the taking! Well, for the buying. But let’s not quibble over semantics…

It’s all about the happy endings.

Future

1-future-sm

While 2017 is still in the future for a lot of you, it arrived here nine hours ago for me with little fanfare. I chose to stay home and away from the crowds (and drunks) this time. I heard the fireworks at both 9pm (the family fireworks tradition) and again at midnight. But I was dreaming not long afterwards of a better year to come.

Here is wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2017. The future is our best hope as we try to create the best present ever.

Digue The Beat

1-bb1-sm

I have yet another post featuring items from the December round of BishBox. My hair, shoes and jacket all come from this very impressive first subscription offering. Do make sure you stop by the BishBox headquarters to sign up for January’s edition, and if you didn’t get the December version, you can still grab it there for a higher price. It’s well worth your money, after you have returned the fuzzy socks from Aunt Martha and the ugly sweater from Cousin Ed.

I shot this photo at La Digue du Braek, the sister sim of Furillen (which is all decked out now as Endor of Star Wars fame). I had visited Digue a few times but hadn’t yet shot a single photo, until I wandered into the upstairs of the warehouse and found this eerily unsettling movie playing. I have always wanted to be in the spotlight, and doing an almost dirty dance with Mickey seemed like the right time.

I highly recommend this unique location. The scenery is amazing and the detail is divine. And the entertainment…you can Digue the beat!
