If You’ve Got To Go, Go In Style

1 If You've Gotta Go, Go In Style

I guess it’s not a common topic in polite society, but everybody has to pee. Or, um…do that other thing. It’s just nature taking its course, of course. Yet using the facilities is one topic I never thought I would be tackling on my blog. But, here I go…

The theme for this round of The Challenge is “Castaway.” There are tons of lovely driftwood, beachy and deserted isle inspired offerings, but I have to take my hat off to Heavenly Villa of shutter field. In addition to a castaway bed and lantern she has created this clever outdoor toilet set. Comprised of a sand-filled tub, a log enclosure complete with “Occupied” sign and toilet rolls plus an extra accessories set (which includes the mandatory “vacant” sign), it is as delightful and imaginative as it is well-made. The textures are impeccable and the animations are adorable. To satisfy both camps of ladies in public toilet usage, there is a choice between perching on the edge and hovering above the sand. Of course, there is another animation for men. Best of all, it has a “covering” action that made my cat huff away in envy. I honestly laughed out loud when taking it for a test run.

I teamed it with my latest favourite decor item, the Twinkling Lights Logs from [ keke ]. Even for such a basic function, a lady must be privy to elegance.

If you’ve got to go, you should always be able to go in style.

The Challenge runs all through July and you can pick up any of the products at the designers’ main stores. The Castaway Outhouse Set and Castaway Bed & Lantern are on sale at a 30% discount for the duration of the round at the shutter field store.

Cure For A Headache

1 Shattered

Gee, and I thought I had a headache…

I paid a visit to Cammino e Vivo Capovolto by Mistero Hifeng. It is a limited-time installation at LEA29 and it is definitely worth a trip. It is one of those places that is fine to go to by yourself, to wander and discover the creations of this talented artist.

This venue is as filled with beauty as it is with despair. As I walked about, I felt a sense of reverence for the pain and loss depicted by each vignette. I won’t say I enjoyed it; rather, I felt as if I had been allowed the privilege of having a glimpse of private anguish and loss.

On a happier note, the dress I am wearing from Salt & Pepper is available for this round of Shiny Shabby. It comes with a texture-change HUD to give you a variety of looks.

A little shopping is always better than a painkiller.

Dinner At 8

1 Dinner at 8

It is a limited menu for a very discerning diner. The table is set, the candles are lit and there is a fresh breeze gently fluttering the curtains. All that is missing is my dinner companion. If he doesn’t come soon, I may have to start without him.

Shiny Shabby has just opened and among the fabulous goodies you can pick up are the Zee Dining Set (for swingers) by Kuro and a great set of sitting poses by !bang. Also, Apple May Designs has released this sexy corset, which works well with the previously-released Kia lingerie set. The red version of the corset is available at the main store this weekend for only 25L. You can also pick up the lovely necklace (with matching earrings) at Salt & Pepper.

I was sure the lure of these new additions would ensure my date arrived on time!

Is it just my imagination, or is that moose smirking at me?
