Getting Stuck At Scribbled Hearts, Or How To Explore A Sim And NOT Ruin Your Shoes!

Image PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

I promised a few days ago I would go back to Scribbled Hearts to explore the sim. Since I needed to test out the “fix” I applied to Fernando to make sure he wouldn’t have another meltdown, I decided to head back over and fulfill that promise. As I was wandering around, shooting photos, a little story developed in my head. My apologies – this is going to be a long post with quite a few photos. I am going to attempt to use a “cut” for the first time so this doesn’t clog the feeds, or if you’re on my blog’s home page, you don’t have to follow my tale to the end without clicking into the post 😉

It all really started with this photo…

Oh no! My teleporter is broken, the only taxi in sight looks like it has come out of the back end of a Demolition Derby and I’m in a “no coverage area” for my mobile! This must be a Windows phone 😦

I guess I’m stuck here for a while. Maybe I’ll wander around and see what might keep my interest. Of course, I’m wearing heels on the one day I have to walk…sighs.

I Needed A Tan

1 Scribbled Hearts_018A

I live on a beach. And my everyday skin is very pale. So you see, I had a reason for what I did today.

I really, really needed a tan.

I succumbed to the sale at Glam Affair, where Aida Ewing has put several skins on sale for 100L each. I have never been a Glam Affair skin wearer – the older tones just didn’t suit me. But I recently tried on a demo of the Jamaica tone and really liked it. But since I have been waiting patiently to demo Hart Larsson’s PXL Creations skin, Jade, which should be arriving on the grid soon, I didn’t want to invest in a new skin just yet. This sale was the perfect opportunity for me to pick up a darker tone without feeling guilty. And I love it.

I wandered over to the Scribbled Hearts sim to find a place to photograph my new look. This a location that has been on my list of places to visit for a while. I wanted someplace that went with my casual look, so today seemed like the perfect occasion. It looks delightful; I really can’t tell you much about it because I didn’t get past this sign at the landing point. I should probably feel ashamed that I didn’t go any further, but this sign captured my attention and I felt I didn’t need to take another step. I will go back very soon to explore and show you more of what promises to be a delightful destination.

But for today, I just wanted to preen a little and show off my glorious tan 🙂

Staring Down A Songbot

I’m not quite sure what it is about Bryn Oh’s Immersiva sim that keeps drawing me back. It’s a bit surreal and other-worldly – not the kind of place a down-to-earth gal like me normally chooses as a hangout spot. Maybe it’s just the sheer creativity or the fact that I’ll discover something new to capture my fascination on each visit. Whatever the reason, I found myself back there a couple of days ago.

I had seen this statue – the Vera Lynn Singbot – before. In fact, she is featured on the Destination Guide page for this sim. However, where I had just wandered past her before, giving her a wink and a nod, on this trip she seemed to call to me to stop for a visit. So, with my faithful Cyber Ducky as my companion, we settled in for a little visit.

As the thunder rolled and the raindrops pattered around us, she sang to us her lovely song. No, I don’t know the tune, but I probably should. Instead of worrying about it, I just stood, transfixed, as she poured her melody into the rain.

And I learned one thing – songbots never blink.
