Come Swing On My Heart

1 Swinging On My Heart sm

Rides are relatively inexpensive. Half price for a limited time – one-of-a-kind offer! Satisfaction virtually guaranteed.

There are loads of pretty new things in this photo, starting with the pose prop from !bang, available at this round of The Thrift Shop. Like my special offer, this prop is 50% off for the duration of the event.

The dress is also new from !:Lybra:! for The Liaison Collaborative. A simple A-line dress with sparkles and peek-a-boo panels, plus a glimpse of skin, it’s the perfect “wrapping” for this gift. Finish it off with these adorable flower heels from Salt & Pepper for Flower Power, and you have the complete package. It even comes with shimmery things from [ keke ], which is always better than a store-bought bow!

Town & Country

1 Evergreen Nook 1

Just when you have wound down from shopping at the early events of the month, it’s time to gear up for Shiny Shabby and My Attic @ The Deck. There are loads of goodies at both events, and I took the opportunity to take a few of them out for a spin.

My destination was a lovely sim called Evergreen Nook. It is all decked out for autumn with a very rustic feel, so it complimented the Town & Country theme of My Attic this round. My skirt from K-CODE, earrings and bracelet from Cae and shoes from Essenz are all from this event, and I found perfect compliments from Shiny Shabby with my scarf from Apple May Designs and pose from !bang. They’re all reasons to get up in the morning and get out and about!

You can see the scarf and accessories better in this photo. The scarf is unisex, so you can pick up a matching set for you and your significant other.

Head into town to do a little shopping then make your way to the country to enjoy the lovely autumn weather.

If I Pretend It’s Not There

1 Lady of the Manor2

I was working on a photo yesterday when Rwah IM’d me. We chatted for a while, with her telling me she was finally getting her sim together, and shared raw shots of photos we were working on back and forth. I was struggling with an angle and set to showcase the dress from Apple May Designs I am wearing, but Rwah just didn’t get it. Honestly, neither did I (it wasn’t this photo, by the way).

She had told me that I should come to see what she had done already, but not to go into the kitchen – it was “a bit of a mess.” Then she told me to get off my platform and use her kitchen to shoot my photo. With trepidation, I TP’d over and into the glorious, gore-fest she had created. The stuff from which nightmares spawn. Telling me to make myself at home, she then proceeded to leave me all alone in this room where horror is the recipe and terror is the final dish. Below is a (pardon the expression), raw shot of her kitchen.

I couldn’t quite bring myself to do it.

Not only am I the kind of person that watches horror movies with squinted eyes between barely-splayed fingers of one hand while gripping the thigh of my companion with claw-like talons of the other, I was suffering from that Second Life phenomenon known as texture refresh. Yes, the textures on the baby, blood and table cloth kept refreshing, making the fabric and skin appear to crawl like thousands of maggots were just beneath the surface, struggling to get out. And come at me.

No. Just NO.

So I plopped myself down in the rather safe confines of the parlour next door and included just a glimpse of the gruesome scene next door. If I pretend it’s not there, it’s not…right?

There ya go, sis. I got off my platform. Ya happy now? 😛
