Waiting For Santa

1 Waiting for Santa

I decided this year to try something different. Instead of cookies and milk, I left myself decked out in holiday finery for Santa. He can see for himself what a good girl I have been 😉

If you are looking for a lovely winter-themed sim to visit, do check out Let It Snow! It is a beautifully-done winter location created by Milly Sharple, perfect for a stroll, a snuggle or a dance.

Merry Christmas to all of my readers. You have come to be my friends and family. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and Santa was good to you, whatever you left out for him on his journey.

I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You

1 I Don't Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You 1

I don’t want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I’m playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don’t wanna spend one more Christmas without you

Lyrics from “I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You” by ‘N Sync

God help me, I’m quoting ‘N Sync.

I have been trying to do a second post with the hats from JfL Hats for the Jewelry & Accessories Expo since last weekend. Nothing has seemed to work. Today I headed over to Calas Galadhon and ended up at South Farthing. I tried multiple locations and poses, but nothing was striking me as “right.” I was about to give up, and then that bloody song came on the local music stream.

I am not a boy band fan. I am especially not an ‘N Sync fan. But something about that song struck a chord and I was able to create a photo that seemed to capture the spirit of the lyric.

As Grumper said, “No one is immune [to the power of boy bands].”

I hate when he’s right.

On a happier note, Queue Marlowe of Analog Dog has reintroduced separate bangs with her latest release, Bangers. I matched one of the sets with my standby Nicky ponytail and matching hairbase from Amacci to solve the problem inherent to wearing a hat in Second Life. Thank god for hair attachments and bangs!

(But not boy bands.)

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 🙂
