52 Weeks of Color Challenge (sort of) Iron and Patina

2012-01-29T19:58:00.000-08:00

Color challenges: Iron and Patina (sort of-not exactly)

I won this Android skin from Nomine in the lucky chair today and couldn't help but take a picture and use it for the color challenge(s).
I've put this shape out as a gift at my store Shape it Up! Just look for it in the Women's section.

What used to be fun is now just irritating.

2012-01-28T19:48:00.000-08:00

I used to enjoy logging in and popping over to some fun places to dance, listen to good music or just get out of my sl home/workshop. The last 2 times I've tp'd over to one of my rl/sl husband's favorite places, I've been accused of scoping out someone else's "man". Really???? (I guess they could see my camera views, but really, I was trying to cam in on SOMETHING that would actually rez on my laptop which used to render things okay but with the latest "upgrades" from Linden Labs has left me feeling like my gaming laptop is a piece of crap!) I really and honestly do not give two shits about your "man" who is actually probably a) a woman b) a 300 pound male who couldn't get a woman in real life anyway c) not my husband so I really don't give another shit about who you're sldancing with anyway!! My rl/sl husband is 3 feet away from me playing Everquest thankyouverymuch!
And another thing...with the last update, while I am supposedly on the mesh viewer, my mesh stuff (including furniture) either does or doesn't show up and I'm a ghost & have to rebuild myself. What a pain in the ass! I've been messing with this for about 2 hours! Thank you for the enriched experience Linden Labs but I'm about to say buh-bye!
I'm considering checking out the other sites that are like sl used to be.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Indigo

2012-01-16T15:03:00.000-08:00

This week's challenge was tough for me! I LOOOOOOOOOVE this color but realized that I had so little in my inventory. I knew I wanted to feature the extra gift I'd made for the last Twisted Hunt - the bird cage hat with exploding feathers. I was calling it "blurple" because that's just the only thing I could think of for a color name. It's now available inside my store and while not free, is still priced pretty reasonably.

Since this my freebie blog, I wanted to feature a freebie or two...makes sense, right? I was able to find this indigo cut out swimsuit on marketplace and everything fell together.

(forgive me that I'm on a laptop & can't jack up the settings enough to get the actual new, cool shadows of sl!)

On with the credits:

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Coral Week 2

2012-01-13T22:52:00.000-08:00

For this week's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge the color was coral. I'm not a big pastel color wearer in either lives--funny how my first life carries over into my second so much. I scoured my inventory for coral and found only one item that was coral. Now, I know that should've triggered me to start shopping, but I wanted to push a little further. So I searched "blush" and "peach" because those colors are somewhat close depending upon your eye (and the designer's). I didn't find any more clothing items so I decided this would be a headshot.

Back in my "old" real life photography days, we would've said the lights are too hot, but I don't care, I kind of like the effect.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Champagne. Week 1 = disaster

2012-01-11T21:53:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I thought I'd join in on Luna Jubilee's 52 weeks of color blogging challenge. Since I didn't do it last year I may as well bust it out for this year. Well, my first (late) week into it and I've already turned a fashion blog into a disaster.
You see, I pulled up all the champagne key words in my inventory and it took me to my all-time favorite designer, Digit Darkes' timeless dress, Barely in Champagne, which made me miss her all the more since she was a great friend & is no longer in-world and we keep playing phone tag. This led me to plunk on my champagne colored wig from Exile - Samara and in my deep sorrow of missing my friend, the champagne glasses in my inventory just weren't enough...nooooooooooo! I had to drown my sorrows with a champagne bottle, Asti (no less!) from Medhue Animations (pay attention to the attractive hiccups and stumbling).
Since all good parties end in the kitchen, I felt it only appropriate to take evidence-er...pictures here.

What was to be so fashion photo shoot turned into disaster. Ever have one of those nights? Yeah, I knew you had.

**I think it's the one eye with the astigmatism that always seems to squint when I get drunk. That's the tell that I've had too much!

I decided to share a pic of the June group gift out now. (wear your tag-if you're not a group member it's only 190L to join and SO worth it.)

Kiss me...I'm s***faced!

2011-03-03T19:55:00.000-08:00

My rl & sl friend, Debil Skute, has been working extra hard not only on her original furniture & scripts, but she's also just recently made some fun things for St. Patty's Day! She's got lots of festive clothing on sale for extra cheap--not free, but so cheap it's close to free! So, she threw me a shirt & I hit Finnegan's Irish Pub, where I got s***faced!! This shirt is unisex in green or grey.

(This is so reminiscent of Debil & my rl times! lol!) Anyhoo--hit her store for all of your St. Patrick's Day wear before it's too late!

Her store is called Dekute Dekore, and she's got fantastic scripted furniture there, too!

I fell in love with a snake on Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T14:17:00.000-08:00

Today, I fell in love with a snake. I didn't want to, but it happened.
In addition, I cheated on my laptop. I took pictures on my husband's computer which is WAY more fired up than my laptop, and I don't think I'll ever go back! OMG!

Let's start first with the snake with which I'm madly in love--it's a Valentine's Day gift from Pixel Mode!!!! I'm jumping for joy because I missed the other deliveries she made of the leopard shoes but I was actually ON today and got the snakeskin shoes!!! Oh for joy!!!!!! I can be dead and buried in these! *un photoshopped pictures coming up*

I also received a lovely gift from Glam Affair-Eva for Valentine's Day!! I'm in LOVE with their skins and just can't get enough!

I also recieved a group gift from Emo-tions hair-*Celeste- but that's not all! I also got cute heart eyelashes from A'vion! I jumped into one of my stand-by designer's dresses-Digit Darkes -Barely in Mocha. I miss Digit in sl SO much!! I've been trying to talk her back into sl because she's so talented!!

Anyhoo--it's been an extremely fun Valentine's Day so far! (I even met my husband for lunch and he's making a tremendous dinner for us of lamb, shrimp, asparagus & all kinds of good stuff--I can't wait!) Happy Valentine's Day to you! I hope you find love in a snake, too. :)

Not free, but I love it!!

2011-02-13T20:50:00.000-08:00

I love my KittyCats Kitty! I'm in love with mah kitteh!! She sleeps so cute in her little basket!! uh mah gawd! And then I bought this gorgeous Cheeky Pea set from Chic Limited that includes the chair, kitty bed and lamp and table and it's just 3 kinds of great! Low-res picture, I apologize, but Maddy was laying in her bed so cutely, I just had to snap away!!

SHADOWS! UH-MAH-GAWD-BECKY!

2011-02-11T13:51:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the masterful perfection of Luna Jubilee (I wish to one day be as great as she!) I jacked up the settings in my laptop (thank God for the fan!) and set to work on messing with shadows. It's by no means great, but it's a start!

THANK YOU, LUNA! The tutorial she posted on youtube was a great help, too!! My poor lil lappy ran like a slug, but I intend to jump on hubby's computer Monday and mess some more! yay!

Long time no see! I've got FREE!

2011-02-11T12:02:00.000-08:00

Long time no see! I've decided I need to get myself busier on this little bloggity blog, so today, I'm featuring some wonderfully free goodies and one not-so-free goodie.

The hat/hair was a great group gift last December from Truth Hawks and I hadn't taken the time to thank him and blog it. It's a big ol' pack of all hair colors and the hat is scripted texture change so it's great for any winter-y ensemble. Truthfully, I'm about tired of winter where I am, but it is nice to feel warm and this hair and hat do it for me.
The coat and pants are part of a full outfit won in the midnight mania at AdN called Pure--always very generous with her midnight manias, this also comes with a cute pair of ugg boots, too.
The shoes...oh the shoes!! I've meant to buy these for so long and I finally did! They graced the fashion feeds a while back, but they are still so fabulous, I had to have this pair! Pixel Mode's Baby T's with anklet socks--I love them! I also had to get another pair of the pumps without socks because they're so versatile. I have to admit that BOTH times Tya has sent out the gift shoes in the subscribo, I've crashed or my gift shoes got sucked into the abyss! CRY!!!! I'm so jealous of the rest of you who got them--hug them for me!! ;)

Ivey Deschanel -- You've done it again!!

2010-10-21T20:35:00.000-07:00

So, after my post about the Exodi Hunt Ivey Deschanel (of Sn@tch fame!) passed me a notecard about her DIVE hunt. OMG! It was so much fun, and sooooo cool!!! You get a hud for your screen to just make the hunt a little more interesting. (seen below) I wish I'd have taken pictures along the way, but I met another new friend! We hammered the clues out together, and it made it much more fun! (I'll go back through & post pictures because the theme of the hunt and the story, drama, intrigue--it was FABULOUS!!!!!) It wasn't so hard that I got frustrated, but I did notice some asshat tp in at the very last spot--which, to me made them the double loser because they lost out on all of the goodies along the way!!! I shall be opening my goodies soon, and will post pics, but if you haven't done the DIVE hunt --you MUST make it a part of your Halloween fun-ness! Here's the starting point! Kudos to Ivey and her Pulse team--you made another great slmemory for me! :)

EXODI MURDER AT SKULL CREEK HUNT

2010-10-20T20:50:00.000-07:00

Wow--it's been awhile since I've completed a hunt. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but they're all pretty much the same. Not since I did a Halloween hunt as a semi-newbie (it was the school hunt & dropped you into the Sn@tch store) have I participated in one that was this much fun! You have to collect all of the clues (65 in all) and talk to all of the "witnesses" (I don't remember how many) then you can solve the crime & go collect your goodies. There's stuff for guys & girls, and I must admit, I finally yelled out for some help & of course met some new friends, that way! (thank you, Cerrie & Giselle!) The following are just a FEW of the fun things I got at this hunt. (there was a lot--go...do!)

Skins, (all of the following pictures are just SOME of the fabulous Exodi skins--in the first picture below is the jewelry set from Exodi as well as the top & jeans from W.o.E)

Then I got myself zombified--I'm sure my neighbors were thrilled!

The following picture was taken at the Murder at Skull Creek--it's a great sim! In the following picture are the Exodi Vamp newborn skin as well the "wear purple day" shirt from Miamai. (if you don't know why you should be wearing purple today (October 20) then see here:

I don't know how to do drow properly, but this skin is so beautiful, I don't think it matters!

Here's a ride to the start: You'll get a notecard that explains the details beginning with this sentence: "Rumors of my death have NOT been exaggerated!"--Dick Wiesel (of W.o.E.)

Do this hunt and have fun finding all of the clues...you won't be sorry!! oh, and I KNOW WHODUNNIT! On a side note, how could someone who's been murdered leave a quote about their death? hm...

Dear Digit

2010-08-05T21:40:00.000-07:00

I miss you, my friend.

It's getting a bit Nipple-y!

2010-04-01T19:15:00.000-07:00

God love WoE and Exodi, because after tonight, it's really nipple-y! I LOVE Exodi skins, and I LOVE WoE jeans! They were extra generous to us because in WoE store here you'll get free eyes, skin, jeans, shrug & tanks (complete with nipples)! I love WoE's jeans, but I gotta' admit that I get a little prudish when it comes to the nippleage in the shirts...oh well, whatev...get over it, right? And the skin, is, as always--GORGEOUS! So go, get the freeniess!!!

Okay, not free, but I made it...

2010-03-21T22:29:00.000-07:00

So I'm all up in the business of the Ozimal bunnies, see...and, I wanted to carry around a bunny but in a more fashion-forward way. Thus became Bella Bunny. Now there's a carrier for your pet that you can hop all over the grid with your favorite pet inside! :)

Glam Affair Freebies

2010-02-14T17:59:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day!

I went on the Glam Affair hunt, today & got this FAB skin, along with a dress, bra & panties and this fantastic leo that I paired with the skirt from the dress. (did that make sense?) Anyhoo, it was a super easy hunt with amazing couture goodies!

I'm also wearing my Showgirl Lashes I made & gave out to the FabFree group. i.m. me if you want a pair.

Also worn is the Valentine Right Hand Ruby Ring I gave out in the Shape it Up! subscribo & to the Shape it Up! Group. In addition, I'm wearing the Shape it Up! Vivienne shape, and you can find it here!

Here's more goodness I picked up! Fri.day had this great Ruched Button Down blouse as a freebie for the holidays along with a few other things. The boots are from Her Shoes and were free as part of their generous Everything Free deal-o. They're so comfy for the winter!

So many great things!!

2010-01-01T19:53:00.000-08:00

I've been really neglecting my blog and more importantly, the wonderful people who've made these fabulous things and given them for FREEE!

First up: Kellie Iwish was SO generous to her Elate! subscribo group with the Felicity dress! It's my favorite dress from her, and it comes in silver--but you can tint it to whatever color you like!

And Brinks Lemmon has made these great handbags and they're dollarbies at her store Puddles!Lots of different styled handbags, clutches & travel bags in all kinds of different colors!

This is a post-holiday gift from B&T, the corset & leggings. the corset would be great with jeans, too, and the leggings come in both panty layer & pants layer. The cute little flats came from Her Shoes --everything in the store was free for the month of December, but I'm not sure if they're still marked that way.

Free Skin! (I'm a sucker)

2009-12-21T21:35:00.000-08:00

First, Ibizarre sent out their subscribo gift--this fantastic sweater, it's sort of a coal-blue color with a sculpted high waisted belt...LOVE it!
Secondly, Cupcakes sent out their group gift, which of course was a big ol' fatpack of skins called Brilliant...and it is...brilliant!

The hat is something I made for the upcoming shoe & accessories hunt :) I also made some mittens to match that are big & fluffy! Yay!

Needing some slrelief

2009-12-17T16:57:00.000-08:00

I'm in a really cranky mood, so here's a shout out to my slfriends, I'm looking for some sltherapy tonight! I want some shopping, and maybe a bit of building jewelry. MAYBE. I was making a necklace (in rl) last night, and I think I want to try to make it in sl, now, and my hubby gave me a great idea that this would make a cute hip belt, as well...so let's see if I make it in the coming week or so.
I'll see ya' around 8pm, slt!

Stiletto Moody-Bare Ginger

2009-12-05T12:50:00.000-08:00

FABULOUS! Stiletto Moody did it again with these Bare Ginger shoes! I love how the skin is so easy to match & you can choose the toe ring, toe nail shades, & buckle metal!! in addition, they come with a backup--which is genious, in case you edit beyond control! (notes from experience!) They aren't free, but they are fabulous!! I chose 2 photos to show these shoes, because I couldn't choose which one I liked better...I paired them first with an Ed Hardy-esque dress from On the Catwalk,

and then I paired them with this gorgeous dress from Digit Darkes, Carson, in white. I love that this dress has tons of options as far as the corset color, buckle metal, and the belt color!! Designers who give us choices just rock as far as I'm concerned! Thank you to the lovely designers who make my second life more fashionable!

50L Black Friday

2009-11-27T08:19:00.001-08:00

Today, I picked up some great things...I got a couple of Holiday Trees from Botanical that are simply gorgeous for 50L! I also got this great tweed jacket from Fishy Strawberry for 50L and this great skin from Glamorize was only 2L! (uh...no landmark in the folder!) The hair in this picture is a freebie from Vive 9 & I got another really cool hair for 50L from Deviant Kitties! It was a great Black Friday for me...I didn't have to fight the crowds! :)

Worshipping the Stiletto Moody Gods

2009-11-22T19:35:00.000-08:00

When Sileny told me about the Stiletto Moody free group gift, I thought, everyone and their mother will be walking around in them...I won't succumb, I won't! I got into the SM group about a year ago, and then to save group space & my lindens, got out. Then Sileny just HAD to tell me about the whole group gift deal-o...

I couldn't resist...I did it. I joined the group, and I'm betting I'm going to be buying more SM shooz! I now worship the Stiletto Moody Gods! But that wasn't enough, noooooooooooo I couldn't stop there...I went to N-Core for a pair of shoes I had seen and bought THOSE too, but for the price, I couldn't resist, I mean 595 and you've got all the options that you could want!

N-Core is here

Damn you, Truth Hawkes!

2009-11-20T17:41:00.000-08:00

You make me love you, time and time again! Here is Micah--okay, not free, but for only 250L and you get like, 5 color choices, it's practically free! This hair is really close to the way I wear my hair in rl so I had to get it!

Truth, if I profess my love to you, will you name a hair after me, too? :) I adore how the textures, color, and movement are so perfect!! Thank you, Truth, for your new release....Micah. (stop looking at the breastages!) oh, that's a skin by Lara, and my gown is one of the new Digit Darkes Holiday gowns...

DUUUUUUUUUDE! It's a dress named after me!

2009-10-30T22:10:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'm outing my friend, Digit Darkes...yep, we've been hangin' out a lot and I love her! (okay in the girley-friend way!) She's the best, laid-back, non-"effected", low-key, honest, generous person in sl--so when she said she wanted to have a hunt at her sim for her grand opening, I was like, "I'm in...what can I do?" so I did barely anything (I came up with the clues for the hunt and stood there talking to her and went to bed while she set up the whole, entire hunt!) And still, she named a dress after me! Wooot!! Does she rock, or what?!

You HAVE to go to her sim, ADDICTIVE and you'll get clues which will give you a gift and lead you to the next clue...please explore the sim (there are a ton of great photo ops there) and you can find all of the clues--the last clue will take you inside the Digit Darkes main store--you'll win the Alexx Dress (woot) and then you can go back to the starting point & get a 100L gift card for Digit Darkes! (there are 5 goodies & then the 100L gift card) most of the gifts are unreleased Digit Darkes clothing!!

But that's not all..........vendors have left gifts all over the garden (where you land) and those will stay for a long time.

But if you want everything else, you'd better hit her sim NOW!

Yay!!! I <3>

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd the skin I'm wearing came from Lara Skins which, uh...I'd give you the slurl but it wasn't in the skin I bought. :( you can get a free skin there, too. Um...if Lara sees this, I have some space at some of my shape stores that I'd share if you need it, cuz these skins are awesome! Her place was sort of hard to get to, I heard about it through the FabFree group but I don't have the slurl now. Darn. Lovely skins, tho! help?

I'll Get You, My Pretties!

2009-10-20T20:30:00.000-07:00

So, I was standing around my house, staring at the turtle my friend, Austie, gave me...wondering when the damn thing will wake up, with my cute Ozimals beta bunnies who will soon be evaporating (sadness) because the open beta will be soon, AS IN...TOMORROW!! YAY! When, Voshie Paine sent me a message about a new lil dollarbie at her shop, LaPetite Morte. It's this CUTE pose & background! The broom is included, so you just hop on the broom and voila! you're flying over the moon! How cute is that?!

I jumped into my witch skin that Sileny made--isn't she getting so great at skins?!--for the Car Wash Hell Boppers at our Shape it Up! store, where you'll also find the Witch shape that I'm wearing--emphasis on the big nose ;) Just bob for a treat! Some tricks are included, but it's fun to see what you'll win.

Also worn:

Curl Up & Dye Hair-Helena--chair camp (not sure if it's still in the seat or not)

Witchin' Costume--Reasonable Desires Group gift last year

Digit Darkes Clyde Boots--not free, but TOTALLY worth owning!

Happy Halloween!

Skin/Shape Expo 2009 -Tuli Skins - Bella

2009-09-27T00:47:00.000-07:00

One word: Lucious!

I love these skins by Tuli and I have to say that I'm never disappointed by her skins and Bella is no exception! These have freckles, and normally I don't go for freckled skin, but I really like these!! Make sure you see Tuli's booth at the Skin/Shape Expo! And check out the bewbage! o.O Wow! This gown I'm wearing is from Digit Darkes-Siren--rawr!!

Big Blogger Challenge

2009-09-06T19:33:00.001-07:00

My friend, Isabeau, told me about the big blogger challenge posted here. A lot of sl fashions definitely lean toward a svelt figure, so I thought this would be an interesting, if not, fun challenge! My business partner, Sileny, & I have made some bbw shapes for our store, but I can't say they've been huge (no pun intended) sellers. Nonetheless, I grabbed my partner in crime, Ysabel/Alex and went to making the shape. She wanted to try it, too, so I gave her a copy of the shape. Here's what we came up with--I thought we did pretty well--both of us went to one of our staples, Leezu! Among others. We'll show Ysabel, first:

I really loved the close-up shot. No matter what shape or size, I'm glad she's my friend & I think she's beautiful! Up next: me...
I included one of my other shapes, to see the difference. I'm going to put the Big & Beautiful shape in my store at The Deck shopping for anyone who'd like to do the challenge, as well. It'll be a freebie, but I want your post link, please :)

"Why, Ms. Usbourne, you dance divinely..."

2009-09-06T10:56:00.000-07:00

"Oh thank you, those Arthur Murray dance classes are really paying off!"

"Ms. Reinard, our bewbs are squishing!"

...just a bit of what happens when four girls decide to go to Frank's for a girls' night. Yep, we pretty much stomped on all rules of etiquette and laughed our a$$es off at Frank's. Ysabel, Isabeau, DarionMonkee and I decided to don our gorgeous gowns and trip the light fantastic. See, none of us are looking for cyber im's but we do like to take a break from building, creating, whatever to go have fun. If you were at Frank's last night (/me waves at Harper) and were offended by us, we apologize...if we gave you some laughs, then I'm really glad we could, because we really had a good time!

After that, we got to slay a content thief and go tour a super-secret sim that's in the works of a very talented designer. The new sim is really cool & if what she was wearing is any indication of what's to come, then this fall will bring some fabulous fashion!! When she launches the new sim & fashions, I'll spill the beans. :)

I'm an idiot for Idiosyncrasy Skins

I'm in love with Ashia Tomsen. Not THAT way...although, she's really nice, but I really love her skins! So that makes me an IDIOT for Idiosyncrasy! (see?)

I should start by saying that she's a freakin' rockstar when it comes to photoshop--you can see that on her Freestyle pictures, but when she makes her skins, they are CAPITAL B Beautiful!!!! I'm so fortunate to have made her as a new friend, and both Sileny & I have made shapes for her new skin that will be introduced at the Skin/Shape Expo 2009. (coming in September)

You'll want to get to Idiosyncrasy to get her current skins! now! Lucy is the latest, and I'm wearing one of them (#4 in tan) no glamorous pictures, just the hubster & me lounging.

New Skins, Friends, and A.D.D.

2009-08-22T17:16:00.000-07:00

I began this post in my head, thinking I wanted to show you the GORGEOUS skins I got at Cybernetics for only 1L! (hurry, I'm not sure how long it will last!) All of them are marked down, men and women's skins!!! Also, there's a beautiful gift skin as you walk in the door for the women's skin.

Here's just one example:

Then, as my break from housecleaning continued, I noticed my "bestie" was online. She's been awol from sl for some time, and has come back so I'm really happy. I went to her place to check out her new sion chickens (a sure-fire way to keep her in sl for a while!) and showed her some of the new skins I bought. We then started cleaning our inventory while chatting. She put something on that she wouldn't normally wear, so we began finding our most outrageous (for us) clothing...once on, we decided we needed to go to outer space for a photo op. Of course, we went to Inspire Space Park and began floating in space. Check out some of the pictures! It's pretty cool up there. I didn't realize when I've been there before that if you hop on a embrace pose ball, you'll start floating around in space! Seems you can always find something new in sl. I'm so glad I got to blow a couple of hours having fun with my "bestie", Ysa. ILY! :)
Now back to cleaning the house...yay.

Free Skins! Skin Fair!

2009-08-14T20:41:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'm a skin hoooooooor and I'll admit it. I went to the U Vogue Skin Fair & I got these gifties (and more). The shape is one I'm working on for Shape it Up! and it's not for sale...yet.

Okay, not free, but HOT

2009-08-13T12:56:00.001-07:00

You have to get over to Reasonable Desires for the latest: Boiling Point! it's only 175L and is TOTALLY worth it and more!!!!

See my other post on the costume blog and you can check out the RD Site, too! A fabulous deal, oh, and they've changed the lucky chair prizes at RD, too, there are like, 12 chairs out in front of the store & 2 inside--come & sit on the chairs & win free stuff!

Boiling Point:

Retro Swimsuit from Digit Darkes

2009-06-28T20:42:00.001-07:00

There's a hunt at the SL 6th birthday sim from Digit Darkes & Baiastice, and I got this "retro mocha bikini" from Digit Darkes. There are 12 stars to find in the sky above, and at the landing point are some cyber skins & futuristic hairs & eyes.

The hair is from Hair Solutions, at the Hair Fair--this one's Victoria. Skin from Cupcakes, Shape is Robin, from Shape it Up! (Sale is still on!) Shoes are a freebie from a long time ago, by Fuel.

Here's to Good Friends...Tonight is Kind of Special

2009-06-27T20:20:00.000-07:00

Recently, I've reconnected with some of my "old" sl friends who had stepped away from sl for whatever reasons--real life got busy, changes in life, you know. A couple of weeks ago I reconnected with my friend, Forever, and it was so good to see her! We did silly things like we used to do, and it was so nice to sit and laugh & be silly! I've gotten far too busy with the shape biz and haven't played much at all. Working 8+ hours a day in rl plus coming home and working in sl was making me cranky. So, we went to RC Cluster. I freakin' love that store! I was determined to buy one of the sofa cusion forts, so I did it! yay! We took lots of pictures & even had a tea party. She was going for the Housewives of New Jersey look and I think se pulled it off! lol! Forever, thanks for being my friend, and although we can't hang out as much as we'd like, it sure is fun when we can. (huggggs!)

Another friend whom I've reconnected with is Kitana...well, that used to be her name until LL took over her account because she hadn't logged in for a couple of months--bastards! We got silly, too, and did some fishing at Katatonic--I tried to show here where the fish were. (OKAY, WHY CAN'T I MOVE MY PICTURES NOW! GRRRRRR)

King of Pop

2009-06-27T19:53:00.000-07:00

We've all heard that Michael Jackson passed. It's weird...just weird. I believe he was such a musical genious and it's sad that it's ended.

Cheap Love Song put out a King of Pop shirt out for 0L and it's got the male or female version as well as all the layer options.

The jacket is from Aoharu and is not free. The skin is from Cupcakes--they put their grab bags out for 250L, and for each gift bag purchased, you got a 500L giftcard--nice deal, if you ask me, and I LOVE all the Cupcakes skins! Shoes are from Digit Darkes and not free. Jeans were a gift from Ibizarre from the Ghost Hunt '08. Earrings are from Chuculet's dollar store. Shape is Robin, from Shape it Up! where we're having a sale on all shapes only at our location at The Deck, and they're all 24L-74L. The hair is (I think) a Hair Fair 2008 gift from Magika.

I tried to get around Hair Fair 2009 and had a huge challenge. Although I think the idea of the design was cute, the lag killed me. I found a really cute hair by Curio and wanted to go back and get it but can't remember where, exactly, the location was. I had to tp out just to let the hair rez long enough to see if I liked it. I know, a lot of people complain about lag, and it's sort of the norm for Hair Fair, so I guess I'm no different. I did pick up a few, and a couple of freebies. I'm deciding whether or not I want to try to go back & get through the sludge...we'll see.

Free goodness!

2009-06-11T22:23:00.001-07:00

Free skin from Glance (look for the mirror on the front desk) *thanks to Suri Christen for the hint at Freestyle! You get 2 skins in this hunt and both are yummy!

The entire outfit including shoes came from DPD (Deux Petite Dahl) I'm pretty sure it was in the midnight mania, might be a different outfit now, but always worth checking it out. I think I got this one at the Le Zoo location.

Hair, free from the Truth sale...don't know if it's still going, but great free stuff! :)

Oh! and the SHAPE was free! Sophie is the shape in the free box at the Onyx Noir sim--Shape it Up!

**excuse the unediting of this picture**I really need to get to bed, I have to get to work at oh-dark-thirty. o.O

Ivalde is closing :(

2009-06-04T13:52:00.000-07:00

It's a sad day...Ivalde is closing. It was one of the first stores I stumbled upon at Retrology when I'd first landed in sl and I fell in love, instantly. I couldn't wait to spend my lindens on my first dress, there.
Nef has been soo soo generous with her designs and gifts, she's truly a talent that will be missed. My only hope is that this is just, "so long, until we meet again" and not "goodbye".
xoxoxoxxo

Thank You, Designers!

2009-05-27T22:49:00.000-07:00

This thank you is for Claire, at Symphony Skins (ltd edition skin) and the lovely ladies at House of Heart (this is the Tuli hair in brown). I'm still unpacking my boxes from the blogger appreciation, but I wanted to publicly thank you! (each of you who gave were more than generous to those of us who love to blog about your creations!)

xoxoxo

Alice in Wonderland Hunt

2009-05-27T21:34:00.001-07:00

Here's what you get at Reasonable Desires! The WHOLE outfit (sans shoes) for free! Look for the mirror!

Thank you, Callie Cline!!!

2009-05-20T21:54:00.000-07:00

I first started buying caLLie cLine clothing when there was a "freebie geebie" week at Callie's so long ago. I ended up discovering her clothing and buying a lot, then. My friend, Alexanndrea and I, saw the model of the month contest and thought it would be really fun to enter, since we both LOVED caLLie's designs and share the same brain.

We chatted with caLLie and were in awe of how friendly she was and submitted our entries. WE WON!

caLLie was SO FUN to work with on the photo shoot, and very professional; lots of fun and I really knew that the she was as genuine as they come. We were featured in BoSL Magazine and I will never forget the honor. My friend, Alex, has since found other things to do but we keep in touch...we still talk about our caLLie experience with fond memories.

I'm looking for pictures of the 3 of us and now I'm not finding them! :( but, I do have a few of our photos of Alex and me. caLLie made it 3 kinds of fun! *btw, Callie, if you have them, I'd love a copy!*

My favorite all-time caLLie cReation:

Black Swan

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

2009-05-20T09:20:00.000-07:00

To Callie Cline, for making a special group and an entire week of blogger appreciation, thank you! To all of her officers (I'm sorry I don't have them all at this moment) THANK YOU! I really hope the fashion bloggers group stays open because I've found it to be a wonderfully positive, supportive group of lovely people.
I'm still working to get all of my gifties opened and photos taken and blogged, but I want all of the designers who gave gifts to know that every day, you are the ones who make sl so special! I appreciate all of the time and effort it takes to create everything you do, and I admire it and am so grateful!!
Next, Sileny Noel and I have opened our first Shape it UP! Store at Dilly Dolls, and our main location will open this weekend! *I'm not in-world at this time, so I don't have pictures, but know that I will post them soon, as I've been so busy rl & sl!*
THERE ARE FREEBIES at our Dilly Dolls location! (please search for the Dilly Dolls sim & you'll find us on the tp pad) .
And, finally...I was extremely busy, last night with the FIVE! YES, FIVE new releases from Reasonable Desires!! I've been busy, but not as busy as Austie and Marti! WOW! If you like Alice in Wonderland, you have to stop by and pick up Oh Alice! Also, the awesomeness that is Queen of Hearts! Then, if goth is more your flavor, there are 3 new goth outfits that are way cool and combine leather & lace in a fabulous way! (Sileny said I need to make a post but since I was up so late with the release, I didn't get pics taken last night! But I will, tonite!)

Oh for the love of generosity!

2009-05-17T22:37:00.000-07:00

Oh wow...the generosity has been amazing!!! I am still going through all of the lovely gifts from the blogger appreciation week, and I took pictures of our garden party at Callie's place. Everyone was sooooooooooooooooo generous!!! Much love to the designers and bloggers and Callie! xooxoxoxo

Inspired...

2009-05-06T17:58:00.000-07:00

I probably should've found a cool place to take this picture, like Harold or something, but when I picked up this character skin in the Rockberry Skins group notice, I was inspired. I also picked up this free men's hair (thank you to the Freestyle blog for the tip) at Uncleweb (look around the front desk). I knew I had to wear an outfit from The Black Canary (not free, although it could be in Morrigan's lucky chair now.

It's Arresting...It's not free, but it's HAWT

2009-04-29T22:30:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist taking pictures this new release from Reasonable Desires is too hot not to have fun. Get it for just 175L TOTALLY worth it and TONS of options! Strip Search...get it NOW! (gun not included but hat & night stick are)

A New Challenge...are you game?

2009-04-29T15:50:00.000-07:00

I was reading on What the Fug about finding new, inexpensive things for guys & girls to look good. Now, I know it's a challenge for my husband to find good, quality, inexpensive things for his avie and I must say he's dropped (as my friend would say) a "grip" to look as hot as he does. That being said, I was reading the comments and read one from Pumpkin Saenz and hopped over to her blog. (Funny how reading blogs can lead to so much blog-hopping you've wasted all of your day, huh?)
One of her posts was a challenge to sign up for a new alt and in under an hour & a half, pimp your avvie to look as hot as you can, spending under 100L. (read the challenge for complete details at her blog). I thought it was a fan feckingtastic idea, so if you're reading this & want to meet up for the challenge, i.m. me in-world & les doit! But...I think it should be a dude alt. Now THAT'S a challenge!!
*makes note to be sure & create more dude shapes*

First Look Everything is 1L

2009-04-26T21:37:00.000-07:00

First Look is reopened on LVS...everything is 1L! yay! I picked up a few cute things.

Elate! Group Gift

2009-04-26T21:03:00.000-07:00

I love Elate! Kellie Iwish is always very generous to her group, and a great designer, to boot. This is from her new releases out now. It's called Sylvia.

I got an lm for a new AM Radio exhibit and popped over there for a peak. It's pretty cool...you get a dragonfly for your shoulder & wear a hud to see the exhibit. I took pictures.

ROCKING F'ING BOOTS!

2009-04-24T23:42:00.000-07:00

I was minding my business, the other night, tp'ing to lucky chairs & midnight mania...when I got a group im from Travis Roecastle, at Nightwish Designs Boots & More about some boots for the Midnight Mania. I tp'd over & hit the MM. Although I'm not usually a cowboy boot sorta' gal (btw, country music makes my ears bleed) I thought, what the heck, let's just see. When I got them, I couldn't take them off! A CUUUUUUTE pair of red boots! (and tonight, I got some BLACK BOOTS! (THANK YOU TRAVIS)

SO, Travis announces in our lucky chair group that he's just added a blue pair in the MM. I sashay over there to hit it and while I'm there, I see the lucky toilet (crack my happy ass up) and the lucky phone booth (thank you to Lava Inside for the recent freebie giveaway) and we're talking along with Brandy Sugarplum, (isn't she gorgeous?!) who was funny as hell! My husband, Conplexus comes over & we all began chatting and laughing & lighting bodily gasses...well, you get the idea. We were laughing and being crude. Long story longer...just get over to Nightwish because they've got some great boots and funny people there! You'll enjoy stalking the toilet and hitting the MM because the quality rocks! and the owners are even better

Here's your flying toilet.

Midnight Madness!!!

2009-04-23T22:20:00.000-07:00

The other night I was going around, hitting all the midnight mania boards people were yelling out and I hit Dilly Dolls. I had hit that one earlier in the week but there was like, one short to make the limit. This time, I got it! So, I was thinking it was one plaid color & that I would be eh, so-so about it. OMG I love it! A bunch of choices for colors, and the skirt is scripted so you can resize it and change the color! But that's not all...I also hit the A-Bomb midnight mania board and won these shoes! I thought they were really cute in the picture, but once I got them on, realized they're also scripted to change colors & resize! Rock on! I can't script my way out of a paper bag, so I really appreciate talented scripters. I don't have the lms included but I'm sure you can search...right? *the fatbelt I'm wearing is not free--it's a Callie Cline. The skin I'm wearing is one of the Cupcakes-Seduction skins from the Easter hunt.

Oh...there's a cute little couples pose rocker at Belle Belle Furniture & it's in the lucky chair. The Midnight Madness (Mania?) there is a piece of a living room set. (at first, I thought it was the whole set--don't be decieved as I was ;) )

While I was at CnS Poses, I saw the info for an upcoming VIP Hunt, it's where you buy a key for L200 to get the landmarks for designers who've made exclusive items for the hunt. Supposedly, it's to eliminate the freebie biz in a box stuff. I'm not sure I want to buy the key yet...I think I want to find out who's going to be involved, first. The hunt starts May 1 so if you hear anything, i.m. me in-world or email me here, k? (alexxusbourne at gmail dot com)

Okay, I just had to do it

2009-04-18T20:42:00.001-07:00

When you stand around long enough at a lucky chair, waiting for a damn A that NEVER comes...all the while, standing next to this person with, yes...A FREAKING SUPERMODEL TAG...it just begs to be fugged. I nearly thought she could be a noobie that I was fugging but NO, she's been on since 2007!! I'm sorry but there are enough freebies in this slworld that you can look better than Freebie Dungeon! So without further adieu....She's a SUPERMODEL!
Note the BLANG, the freebie heart necklace that we all got as noobs, and I swear to all things holy I had this gown from the freebie dungeon in black. Yes, I admit when I was new, I did...oh, and did I mention the lovely shoes? And the noobie pose--no ao. Maybe I need to just take a breath & relax...maybe this is an av that's not logged in much. Maybe, um. That's all I got.

Chaisuki Skin Hunt

2009-04-17T20:21:00.000-07:00

You're looking for eggs. I didn't find them all but did find that these skins are very pretty. Looks like the hunt ends soon, so if you want some of these skins & tattoos, hurry!! The hand print one also has hand prints on the butt. The "sun kissed" skin has...kisses and then there's a non tattoo'd skin.

I also got some tattoos, the flash tattoo was cool, imo.

Search Chaisuki skin!

Le Zoo

2009-04-04T20:38:00.000-07:00

Check it out...a Bat Cave at Le Zoo (home of Cupcakes) it's pretty cool, when you go through the door it drops you down below the sim to a bat cave & then you walk to see the sharks & turtles in the aquarium. I recommend when you're exploring to definitely check this out!

Le Zoo

There are some freebies & dollarbies around the sim, as well. I got a job, while there, you can see how well I liked it. ;)

OMG! ETD IS OPEN!

Baistice Group Freebie!

2009-04-01T23:55:00.000-07:00

New Baiastice Group Freebie dropped on me tonight. Love it! I went over to Harold for the picture.

The entire outfit comes with the hat and the sunglasses too! The only exception is the shoes, that came from Line & were like, 85L--cheap and cute! My fave--well, free would be even better ;)

Squeeeeeee! Subscribo/Group Freebies!

2009-04-01T23:27:00.000-07:00

I got in one of my subscribo notices that Prism Haute Couture had a new subscribo gift for the week as well as a gift with purchase. While I was there, I was greeted by the designer, Journey McLaglen and her Marketing VP, Loxley Tatham. Both ladies are adorably friendly! There's a gift every Wednesday! This week, it's Shine in a beautiful mint color, perfect for spring! I really felt like this was a moody dress, so I got all moody for the pic.

Hair: Aimee (free from Maitreya a long time ago)
Skin: Freebie from [42]
Eyelashes: Freebie from Sky Everett Designs at the RFyre mall
Dress: Shine from Prism Haute Couture

While I as at Prism, I bought a cute little frilly cocktail dress (also named Frilly) and I knew that my gift with purchase would go fabulously with it! For the next 3 days your gift w/purchase is the lacey bangle bracelets. RUN!
(if you can't see, just click on the picture & it'll enlarge) GORGEOUS dress and bracelets!

You should also check out this adorable Parker outfit, that comes with shorts, skirt, 2 pairs of pants, 2 versions of vest (open or closed) and includes prim collars & cuffs! OH AND SHOOOOOOOOOOZ!

Lucky Board for Hair

2009-03-26T20:04:00.001-07:00

I found these hairs on xlstreet and then tp'd to the store to buy one of the demos when I found a lucky board! Yay! As soon as I landed, I got an A! woot!

WHITE WELL HAIR

The hairs are only $150 to purchase & you get blonde, "blown", dark "blown" and red. Not bad for 4 hairs. They also have some 10L hairs. I found 2 hairs for free on xlstreet, as well. They're not bad, I must say!

One of my freebies...and a 1L

2009-03-22T22:36:00.000-07:00

One of the things I got tonight was this really cool skin from Skinzor, it's called Halloweenie but it can be used for high fashion, too, in my opinion. I also got this pose chair that has 5 poses...a nice price at 1L (maybe it was 5) from *Elisa* . These places can be found in search, I'm sure, since I don't have the slurl here.

A day in slife

2009-03-22T21:18:00.001-07:00

So, my friend, Sileny sent out an i.m. to the group to go to the new extended sim to Starlust--Harold. She said there was a playground there with lots o' freebies...2 things I LOVE are the Starlust Motel and freebies! So, I just had to pop over! Lots of pose balls to play on the monkey bars & teeter totter. I had fun all by my own self. Then I checked out some of the stores...for example:

This place sells the scooters for when I get old...yeah, like THAT'S gonna' happen! :P

So, I checked out part of the rest of the sim, and came upon this place. There's something about Starlust and its sister sims: Lloyd, Floyd and now, Harold...there's always a ton of whimsey, which seems like such a nerdy word but I can't think of a better way to describe it. Totally unique spots to check out and a surprise around every corner.

Yep, that's me, riding a horse like I was in the mutherf*ckin cavalry!

There was also some interesting artwork there...

Then I got called to help a riot vend--it's a thing where you get as many people to stand next to this sign and the price keeps going lower and lower till it reaches its lowest--and then you can buy it. This was at Hatpins--they have some beautiful hats, and although these hats weren't my taste, I thought I'd help some peeps out who wanted them. So I stood there & went afk for a few. lol I took a screenshot just for the hell of it.

Then I got a call for a midnight mania board--it's where you have to have like, 50 people or in this case--100--touch the board and if everyone does by midnight, you get whatever is in the midnight mania. I sometimes get not-so-great things but sometimes I get really great things, so it's fun--a crap shoot, if you will. ;)

And now, I think I'm going to check out all the stuff I got, this evening, and save/purge. So, for my friend, Freeyrmind in Tropicalifornia, this is just one of the ways I waste my time at night. ;) xooxox

FEEEED MEEEEEEEEE!

2009-03-21T23:23:00.001-07:00

I was dropped this unusually awesome chair from Cheran Snook, of Atargatis http://slurl.com/secondlife/Four/35/112/22 where you'll find all kinds of things for diving, mermaids/mermen...and a stork where you sit inside its beak and that's not all! Go see for yourself! Cheran makes everything, and I was amazed!

I bought a mermaid suit while I was there, and it's beautiful! It also comes with the hud, so swimming like a mermaid comes very easy! Go see Cheran & tell her Alexx sent you!

So here's the deal...

I introduced my friend to sl and she said, "so you guys are freaky in sl--that's cool." But I'm not sure that this friend "gets it"...and I love this friend so I want to sort of give her a tour of sl through my eyes. I'm gonna' be blogging some of my favorite things to do in sl and fave places to see. But that's not all, I suppose my favorite thing about second life is being able to play Barbies (tm) (whatever, mattel don't sue my ass cuz there's nothing there!). In sl I get to change my doll ALL THE TIME! Change her hair, makeup, shape, clothing, shoes...you name it...it rocks! And, I suppose that since I used to play Barbies (trademark blah blah blah) forever, this makes sense--it's the grown-up doll. (without getting into trademark infringements with either second life or Mattel Barbie! So....without further adieu...I make fun of people...I pretend I have an L.A. figure...I pretend I can afford most clothing (that I don't think is stupid to waste four American dollars on); I can live like a single woman f'ing my partnered model-quality-sexy-man/husband and I can have a job that doesn't require 40 hours a week, although sometimes I think about it much more than a few, it's a job I do in real life so it's okay. I can pretend I have the ultimate high tech house and the most retro furniture that I change about every 3 weeks.
There are so many cool places I explore, like "Oz", and the Black Swan, and various sims that are just plain cool if you take the time to check it out.
So...yeah, pretty much, it's like playing Barbies (tm) for grown-ups!

Vixen Boots Free @ Dominion

2009-03-04T20:44:00.000-08:00

I love boots...and I especially love FREE boots!

These are the cute freebies now at Dominion! http://http//slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Dominion/201/209/30 FREE BOOTS!

Loook Into My Eyes.......

2009-03-04T13:11:00.001-08:00

I'm not sure if this av spends part time at the pond, catching flies, or what! What the hell?!

I experienced this one while waiting for a lucky chair. Not only did she have big boobs, but she had this pose, too! While surfing her profile I found out that she's a cross-dressing dom. Shocker. What the hell?!

It always amazes me when I'm at a "high-fashion" store and I see an av with their mouth hanging open. Is it the prices? Are they shocked at the selection? Were they in one of the free sex places before they went shopping?! What the hell?!

Reasonable Desires Sneak Peak!

2009-03-01T20:40:00.000-08:00

I just got dropped the newest release from Reasonable Desires--I figured it's safe to post here, since I have no readers! Anyhoo, in case I have one or two...Reasonable Desires will be releasing Liz, very soon! I love it soooo much! I had seen it in the "workshop" at RD and asked them to name it after me because it was my favorite! Alas, they didn't...but I love it, just the same! It comes with options of the girdle with panties or without, as well as just wearing the panty with the top! PLUS! the stockings, of course! Make sure you pop over to RD for Liz, along with the lucky chairs and the group gift and vip gift!

Dahaus ROCKS!

2009-02-27T22:58:00.000-08:00

I've gotten some of the best best furniture in sl at Dahaus Furniture! Daedulus Brink has been so generous in so many hunts; giving us his tables, chairs, lounge chairs, even a Valentine's bed! I have so many pieces from Dahaus that I've bought--I can't even tell you! Right now, he's got a contest running to name a certain bed in his store. I have a stake in it with my own entry, and want to be the one to win--but, I want you guys to check out his store!

I love the retro feel of his furniture as well as the way it's so fantasticly arranged in his store. Every time I step foot in Dahaus, I want to buy everything!! You HAVE to make this one of your stops...NOW!
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Play%20Sexy/133/53/22 Check it out--and if you join his group, he doesn't spam the crap out of you. Low prim-sculpty, scripted furniture that kicks ass!

Mkay...I will add a picture when I can. My "interweb" is acting up so I can't add a photo of Dahaus. You need to go there, instead. What are you waiting for?? go...now!

If it is for free...it is for me!

2009-02-26T16:49:00.000-08:00

This is my new place, pull up a chair & get comfy, because although with my title you might think it's all about freebies, I might throw a zinger out there every now & then.

After getting settled I may even throw in a "what the hell were they wearing?!" because my inventory is FULL of those pictures!!

I work as the Marketing Director for Reasonable Desires, so you're always going to find out about the latest releases. They make THE BEST lingerie & costumes in sl!!

I'm also working on some shapes...eventually, I'll start a store, but I need more time in my day!

Be back soon!

xoxo
