Inside The Rabbit Hole

PeepSideshow Darkward8 Comments

It’s all Home & Garden today; loads of pretty stuff from The Liaison Collaborative, plus a starring role by the lovely lamps from [ keke ] I showed the other day. While I love H&G, I do struggle with getting the right amount of clutter balanced with realism (or at least my version of realism). I tend to place things around the edges, leaving the centre bare. Which leads to me adding more things and moving stuff around until I barely recognise what I started out with. I do admire the work of dedicated H&G photographers; the credits alone make them worth their weight in gold!

This was supposed to be a completely different photo; I had to totally rework the credits after I finished processing and cropping. But sometimes the best intentions just go down the rabbit hole.

Nobody’s Fool

After I took this photo and was finished processing, I sat back to think about a title. The more I looked at it, the more I thought to myself, “Geez, she looks pissed off!” It’s the look on a woman’s face whenever she is being fed a line that is pure BS: part incredulity and part anger that the speaker believes she might just fall for it. Being April 1st, the title just seemed appropriate.

I am showing off the latest release from fri.day for Uber, the Aloy Booties. These stunning shoes are half boot, half strappy heel and pure sexiness. Perfect for doing a little arch-stomping, if need be. My top from ChicModa from the March BishBox is a great halter that says, “I’m fun, but I’m no nonsense.”

In other words, I’m nobody’s fool.

Christmas Wonders

In case you have managed to get into Tannenbaum Holiday Market for some beautiful Christmas things, congratulations. There is so much at this event to love! The oversized baubles and gift boxes (which I also oversized!) from {what next} are great additions to your holiday decorations. Peruse the credits for more from this fabulous event.

Oh, but don’t forget that The Arcade opens again on December 1st! As always, it is eagerly awaited by a large portion of the grid and I’m providing you with a sneak preview of the “She’s a maniac!” set from Salt & Pepper. Inspired by the movie “Flashdance,” you can find all of the pieces to put together a dancer’s outfit or just a cozy little number for cuddling in the cold. The harness I am wearing is one of the Rare prizes, and the bodysuit, leg warmers and hood are just a few of the commons you can win. Don’t forget there is an alternate cam shopping sim adjacent to The Arcade; I have linked to both sims in the credits.

It is the season of giving, but don’t forget to get a little for yourself, too. The month of December is guaranteed to be filled with Christmas wonders.
