The importance of seeming unimportant

Sometimes in SL, I just feel like doing absolutely nothing. I'm seer ( did I seriously just say seer? Can you guess my age, dearies?), sometimes I just feel like sitting...and..well...doing sh*t all. People watch, you know? I don't have any cool people watching stories, sorry, cause most of the time I've got no clue what the heck they're saying....and they tend to use those weird crappy sounds...cue 'freaky laughter'...Okay, ANYWAY, I gotta look cool whilst doing absolutely nothing, right? Want to look indie? Wear a plaid shirt. BAM, you're indie. Oh, oh! And weird Kanye/Nu wave shades. Last year, you propably said these were ugly, and every Salvation Army was full of them. Now I can't find these freakin' things anywhere , cause' all those art students already got to em'. I mean, come on, leave the damn Wayfarer's for the rest of us, you've propably already got ten pairs! ....I digress... Anyhoo. I now declare today indie day! GO GETZ YER DANCE ON!

p.s...I should propably add that I'm not actually being serious...

Windlight!

Hey! Hey! Lookit! WINDLIGHT! Okay, so I'm one of those fools who always looked at beautiful SL pics and thought they were simply photoshopped....after attempting to 'photoshop' some of my own pics, I always noticed the quality seemed different..i.e: not as good..And then BAM! Reading a few blogs, I realized people were taking these fantastic pics using windlight, duh!
To learn how to use it yourself, both Caliah Lyon (Soigne) and Iris Ophelia (Ophelia Drowns) have both recently posted some great how-to's.

Fight or Flight

Playing in Caledon...Pondering....Recently, I sent an I.M via Second Life to a very well known Blogista. I see her as a role model and an inspiration, and decided to let her know that her work had inspired me. This wasn't some creepo msg, people, I was merely saying that she rocked. Now, does this not deserve a "Thanks :)" or some sort of reply? I mean, I took the time to give her some damn praise, I think the least one could do is acknowledge the fact that they have "fans". Once you're at the top, do you completely forget that you were once at the bottom? That you once looked up to all those Elite? Needless to say, I have lost some respect for my once role model. I might be a little fishy, but I've got a long memory. PEACE!

Btw, in my previous post, I forgot to mention the gorgeous hair I was wearing was Artemis- COIF

Skin Within

One of my absolute FAV designers, Moanasyrene Boucher (best known for her incredibly detailed gowns and party frocks), has recently come out with a Skin line! These skins are so glam, and so out there gorgeous! I'm not a "blog by submission" blogger, I blog what I ACTUALLY like, and these skins are IT! I have to admit...I bought the Green eyeshadow one without even trying it on and thank god it looked absolutely fantastic. Oh, and did you notice the ever so subtle bit of lace above the right eye? How Nylon (the mag, not the sl store, peeps) is that! If you're a bit more adventurous, theres also a few skins with even more lace...kind of a bit Phantom of The Opera. Très Stella. So of course I had to go to Osaka and play a little outside Numery Mart, in Moana's very luxurious Temptation gown. I often like to go slumming in my very finest.

So, I'm a platform girl. Ballet flats, although I do wear them, just dont give me the same sexy confidence that platforms do. Not even the ever fabulous stilettos can compete with my platforms! And gosh, does Armidi ever make some gorgeous platforms! How to wear platform sandals in winter? Leggings, duh. Ever realise when you're wearing a skirt in the winter you can kind of block off all feeling to your legs , so you hardly feel the cold? No? Just me? Okay, anyways, check this sweater from Japanese shop Bare Rose.... HHHHAWWT.

Here is another take on how to wear these fantastic platforms in the dead cold of winter. Ohhhhhh don't I look so dreary? Look at my hat! LOVE! So cute. Japanese sims are filling the void I never knew I had!

So, for the next few days there will be no SL for moi. The mum summoned me home, to her country abode, where they own craptacular computers ( I'm an APPLE girl ), that cannot handle the beauties (err graphics) of SL. I MISSED NEW YEARS . Upset, I am ( and now speaking as Yoda). I had this fantastic outfit planned out, complete with G.L.A.M rocker white dress and Chapeau Très Mignon bouffant with massive golden egg! So I'm whining, whatever, but reading fashion blogs for the next few days is going to make me feel like an addict going through withdrawel. How do I even save pictures on this thing? (just kidding). I'm going to go play Solitaire and Hearts untill Thursday.
Woe is me.
