1 Come Home For Christmas With LUMIPro

It is getting closer to that day that either brings out the child or the Grinch in all of us. Well, those who celebrate Christmas, anyway. It has been a long time since I went all out for Christmas; it is just my cat and me, and she views decorations as her special playthings, so I tend to keep things to a minimum.

This year marks my 15th Christmas in Australia. I still haven’t gotten used to the idea of Christmas in summer, but no matter where I call home, that’s where you’ll find me for Christmas.

I shot this photo for the LUMIPro Holiday Advertisement contest, and to my surprise and delight, I was one of the winners. Thank you to Stefan, for choosing my photo and especially thank you for such a wonderful product.

I also want to thank everyone who voted for me in the Avi Choice Awards. Although I didn’t win, I was just honoured to be nominated and touched by the support I received. I especially want to thank Starr, who nominated me. Your thoughtfulness is a gift that I will always treasure.

I hope to post more before Christmas rolls around, but as everyone else, I have very busy days ahead. If I don’t see you before, I hope you are able to come home for Christmas…wherever that may be.

Who Needs Mistletoe?

1 Who Needs Mistletoe

I have never been a person who puts up their Christmas tree in RL before the beginning of December. In fact, I won’t be putting one up at all this year. It’s too much of a temptation for my cat and since it’s just the two of us, why test fate? Besides, even after 14 Christmases in Australia, I can’t get my head around Christmas in the summer. It would be my luck to trim my tree and get hit by a bushfire alert and have to take it down.

Instead, I can have a cozy little place in Second Life with a roaring fire, a big, brightly lit tree and even snow falling softly outside. I can even change it on a whim, depending on who is stopping by to visit. Today I brought along Chance to show off this very romantic pose by !bang for this month’s round of TMD. He didn’t bring the mistletoe, but honestly, who really needs it? 😉

Just a reminder that the Avi Choice Awards voting ends on Monday, December 8 at 3pm SLT. If you haven’t already and are so inclined, I would love your vote for Favorite Fashion Blogger. It’s wayyyyyy down toward the bottom of the voting page, so I hope if you pop over you don’t give up before you get there 🙂

Attitude

1 JfL Round

There’s just something about putting on a hat that screams “attitude.” Sassy, confident, pert and perky.

They say attitude changes everything. Attitude is everything. But for me, attitude is all about the hat.

Johnfrancis Laville of JfL Hats is releasing several versions of his round hat for the Jewelry & Accessories Fair, beginning December 5. Check back when the event opens for the link to the fair.

You can pick up a little attitude of your own.
