Shopping in Second Life

Paw Prints On Our Hearts

I have been working in Photoshop for the last few days and haven’t had time to get my shopping fix in Second Life! Today, I decided to rectify that. What better place to start than at Avatars for Animals’ Catnip Carnival. It’s a small event, but it has some of the best creators in Second Life offering their wares in aid of River Cities Humane Society for Cats in Louisiana, USA.

Avatars for Animals was started by Harlow Heslop, one of my favourite bloggers. And I totally support her in her efforts.

Instead of repeating everything she has said about the organisation, I urge you to check out this link to her blog.

The top and necklace I’m wearing are from this event. Please, visit the Catnip Carnival – not just for the pretty stuff to buy, but to help out the furry friends that leave their paw prints on our hearts.

PS – I’m adding a link to the SeraphimSL blog where you can see all the amazing stuff available at Catnip Carnival. Drool on the page, then go buy, buy, BUY!

Another Bloody Fashion Post

I really, really, REALLY try not to do this very often. I mean, I LOVE Second Life fashion, but there are tons and tons of way better fashion bloggers out there. I’d rather leave it to the pros.

However, every once in a while, I throw together an outfit and it’s just too cute or pretty or sexy or…sumthin…not to share! This is one of those occasions 😀

I was checking out SeraphimSL today, as I do every day, and I noticed that even.flow was having a 50% off sale. So, naturally, I had to check it out. I grabbed a few things, but my absolute favourite was this adorable Ladybug jacket. The detail of the buttons and fasteners are just wonderful! I slipped it on with a bikini bottom I picked up there as well, threw on my Sayaka3 hair from D!va, and actually got my Slink feet to match! Woot! Yep, definitely the occasion for a fashion post!

I’ll shut up now and just let you perve me.

Oh, one last thing…the sale ends at midnight SL time tonight, so if you want to check it out, you’d better hurry!

Weekly Photo Challenge: A Day in My Life – Everything You Can Imagine Is Real

I’m going back to the basis for my blog for the Weekly Photo Challenge this week. “A Day in My Life” is a good place to show you a bit about my Second Life. I’m going to try to use photos I’ve not posted to my blog before, although you may have seen a variation of a shot I’ve used in the past. In some cases, my Second Life and real life blend and merge…I think, no matter what anyone says, that’s pretty typical.

So strap on your seat belts, grab your popcorn and here we go!

What day isn’t started without a nice cup of coffee or tea and a cupcake? Those chores will have to wait!

I spend a lot of my day trading messages with my SL sweetheart in real life. He moves from location to location while he’s working. We have a joke that I gps stalk him from the messages he sends me. I do love to see the different places he goes, and if he accidentally turns off his location services from his phone, he’s quick to turn it back on. I never ask him to, but he picks up from questions I ask that his thumb has switched it off. Clever girl, eh?

My photography and blog are big components of my Second Life. I spend a lot of time testing out poses and techniques on myself before I use it for a photo shoot. These are just a few shots of my guinea pig imitation 😉

And always, there’s time for shopping! Just a few pics from my recent skin-shopping adventure and some of the demo skins I tried.

This is the one I chose 🙂

And then, off to work. I’m a shift manager and host at Breaking The Rules, a rock club in Second Life. Trust me, it’s a great job…you get to listen to music, socialise and just get silly!
