Jumping On The Winter Wagon

1 On The Winter Wagon

I fell off the summer surfboard and landed squarely on the winter wagon this weekend, so I started setting up my snow dome. I had no intention of turning the island into a winter wonderland, but I have been feeling a bit of the Christmas spirit this year after it took a complete departure from my life last year and when I think of Christmas, I think of the white variety. I haven’t finished, but it’s far enough along that I could use it as a backdrop for some of my finds from Collabor88. Somehow I managed to get in today, lag wasn’t horrible, I only crashed twice and I made away with quite a few goodies. Why am I buying for myself this close to Christmas, you ask? Rumour has it that I’m on Santa’s naughty list this year, so I’m not expecting to find much but a lump of coal under the tree.

That’s my excuse story, anyway 😉

I’m glad you asked! JfL Hats will have a second release at the Jewelry & Accessory Expo on December 13. The Kufi hat v4 is a performer’s double kufi. It is unrigged mesh, comes in six colours and is materials enabled. For some reason I have an urge to sit on a darkened stage reading poetry in a smoke-filled cafe 😉

Black Friday All Week…In Pastel

1 CYN Romper

I have always avoided shopping on Black Friday in RL, even when I lived in the US. I think I did it once, and then only because it was a necessity due to timing and logistics. Never again! And although we don’t have a traditional Black Friday in Australia (no Thanksgiving so no real reason) a lot of retailers have picked up on the fervor that has become a world-wide phenomenon.

I admit to doing as much of my RL shopping as possible online. No parking hassles, no crowds or long queues to check out. But I did venture out in SL to grab a few bargains.

My wifey, CYN, however, has done everyone in SL a huge favour – she started her Black Friday sale on Friday, but it’s running all week at her IMPULSE mainstore. Everything except gift cards and vendors are 99L! While she specialises in biker gear for women and men, she also does some sweet casual items. If black is your colour, then IMPULSE is the place for you. But if you adore pastels, Cyn has started to let a few lighter shades sneak into her line – like the sweet romper I’m wearing in the top photo that comes in about 10 different colours (including black, of course!)

And in case you’re wondering, you can look tough in pink. Just sayin’ 😉
