The Graceful Rain

Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
John Updike

Today I was browsing the Second Life Destination Guide and came across a sim called 2304 Rain. It intrigued me. Finding good “weather” sims in Second Life can be tough. This one seemed to have promise.

Oh, boy, did it ever. Wandering around, discovering the most surprising items scattered around, from giant rusty razor blades to a human-sized chessboard, to random photos propped against rocks, to an owl holding an umbrella 🙂

I just took photo after photo, taking multiple shots of each pose, changing my windlight constantly to try to get just the right mood. The setting just cried out for darker lighting, but with highlights of brightness. If I hadn’t made myself stop so I could do this post, I would still be there, exploring, discovering, trying to to do justice to this amazing setting.

I don’t normally post this many photos, so I apologise, but I just want to share this incredible place.

Cupcake Lovin’

I’ve had the same two New Year’s Resolutions for the last two years.

1. Eat more cupcakes.
2. Buy more stuff.

This pose and the new outfit I’m wearing illustrate just how well I’ve kept these resolutions 😉

That LBD

Every girl has one. Or if she doesn’t, she’s always on the look out for that one perfect Little Black Dress. It’s a wardrobe staple that probably inhabits at least 72% of women’s closets (I made that stat up – but it sounds about right to me 😀 ) And I capitalise it on purpose – it’s a fashion statement all on it’s own!

I swore to myself when I started this blog it would be about photography in Second Life – NOT about fashion. There are more of those than I could ever get through, and I check out a LOT of them. But I am an admitted clothes horse, shoe whore and hair aficionado. I am the “go to girl” for shopping in Second Life amongst my friends there. So it was inevitable that at some point, fashion would be the focus of a blog post.

This dress is the reason why. I found it while shopping with my sister, Maddie, and as soon as I tried on the demo, I melted. THIS is the LBD I have been looking for! It’s sleek, sophisticated and oh, so sublime. Not to mention sexy and smokin’ hot!

So, here’s to the Little Black Dress – a dog may be man’s best friend, but the LBD is a girl’s 😉
