1 Frogstar Wertina_021

I feel a bit like I should be transported to the Red Light District of Amsterdam right about now. I have never been, but I have heard the tales of ladies of the evening sitting in their windows, waiting for trade. I don’t even know if that is still in practice, but sometimes an image can bring a story to life.

The pose prop by Frogstar is one of the Rare gacha items at this month’s Serafilms Moulin Rouge event. This is the hot pink version, but you can purchase directly the same prop in black, crimson or purple. Commons in the gacha machine are the stool with a few poses, and the other rares are the stool with tons of poses.

You can also find the corset and lace mask from Wertina and the stunning Sabine necklace and earrings from Cae at the same event.

I think I’ll turn off the lights now. This girl is out of business.

Rainy Day Spring Fling

1 Rainy Day_009

I have had a lot of fun with the new offerings from The Theme Park. This month’s theme is “Spring Fling” and there are a lot of really lovely items to get you ready for the changing season. I have been a bit slow off the mark blogging them – the round began on the 15th, but I promise I’m not finished and it runs for three weeks!

To start you out, though, I am showing off this feminine and flirty maxi-dress from Coquet. and this adorable pose set from an lar [poses]. There are three different dresses to choose from (I naturally chose the pink) and the pose set includes matching umbrellas for the poses. This isn’t the first rain-themed pose set I have owned, but it is one of my favourites due to the natural poses and the pretty floral umbrellas.

This pose also works well to show off my new manicure, thanks to ~SongBird~. Since it is named “Peeps Nails” I knew it was destiny! The colours are true to the Easter Peeps it is actually named for and come with either white or black tips. These nail appliers for Slink hands are vivid and springy and perfect for brightening a rainy day.

You are probably becoming familiar with the setting – I have fallen in love with the little flower garden I grew in the back yard of my show room. Feel free to pop by anytime if you would like to take a few pictures or just hop on the swing and let out your inner child. If you want to do it in the rain, there is a pinkish rock you can click for instructions on how to start your spring shower. Don’t you wish it was that easy to summon – and end – the rain?

Second Life Book Cover Meme: Ready For My Launch

1 The Girl With The Cupcake Tattoo

Well, it took me all day, but I finally managed to get into Second Life to shoot the cover for my new book. Didn’t you know I’m a budding author? The plot is…well, there really isn’t one. It’s just about the frustrations of a forgetful cook. I have to say I don’t tend to lose recipes; I just forget to put the coconut in the ANZAC bikkies 😉

This week’s Monday Meme from Miss Berry is a really fun one. I must say coming up with a book to spoof was kind of hard, but I thought back to the recent book meme and used a book by one of my favourite authors as my inspiration.

I am talking about Stieg Larsson and the first of his Millenium trilogy, “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” The story is dark, but the characters are unforgettable and I love Larsson’s style of writing. The fact that all three novels of the trilogy weren’t discovered and published until after his death just left me wanting more from this talented writer. So, as my tribute to him I chose to parody my favourite of the three.

There have been several reprints and covers for this book, but I chose the one that is sitting on my bookshelf.

If you want to play along or check out the other entries for this meme, here’s what you need to do:

Meme instructions: Create a book cover to show your avatar in fiction. It does not have to be based on a real book, it can be one that you make up. Don’t forget to leave a link to your cover in the comments (of this post) and share it in the Blog Memes flickr group.

If you would like an autographed copy, I’ll be doing a signing at Garages & Ignoble on Tuesday from 10:00 – 10:15.
