I believe in giving back. We should all be engaged in doing something to help the world, to make it a better place …

Which is why I offered to donate my brother’s body to science. I figure, you know, he is not using it, and I am sure that there are a number of agencies that would like to know what made him tick, or at the very least they can use it to practice things on, or to help some doctor somewhere pass that last exam before being given the keys to the kingdom.

(you may wanna get some hankies for this next paragraph, oh .. and if anyone in the office knows how to play violin, have them play something, otherwise a group of them humming can also achieve a nice effect)

I think that would be a nice feeling, a comfort to everyone that was ever involved with my brother, to know that he was involved in that kind of benevolence … the gift that keeps on giving. Think about it, his body helps new doctors and science and those doctors and that science helps others to help others and maybe some of them donate their bodies and it is just a ton of ripples in a pond that could end up looking like a torrential downpour that floods over into all of humanity and maybe even heals us.

Well, my computer went wonky this morning. Each photo I shot crashed my entire laptop and turned my screen to a jumbled mess of multi colored pixels, so it is off for repairs. Fast repairs, I hope.

Meanwhile, I got a couple snaps of this outfit that features a gorgeous sleeveless top with gorgeous collar points on the collar. The folder comes with your choice of gold or silver collar points (or tips). I chose silver because the belt on the pants is silver, too. Collar points are more common in menswear, in particular Western style clothing. At one time no self-respecting country singer would be found without collar points.

I added the fabulously strong silhouette of these high-wasted pants from Gizza. With the wide, long legs, they have a powerful style all their own.

My hair is from Truth – a new release with a lovely casual style. The skin is another of the special release from Glam Affair for Collabor88.

It is, I don’t lie! LOOK OUTSIDE. IT’S WEDNESDAY, not sure why you need to look outside but do it anyway, then back to me… no can’t even be arsed to finish that. HI GUYS. ITS MY NINTH REZDAY TOO BTW! YAY

Well!  FaMESHed is stil l going strong and these gorgeous items from 22769 are still available there!    The  hot pants and delectable Anushka top come in various colours for your mix match pleasure and they are just lovely, so well made, excellently textured and their stuff is always just worth it! I opted for yellow/green combo cos that’s how I roll, but you might find other combos, THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER!    I thought I’d wear the Wasabi Pills Sunny hair with it, along with an old FLF Belleza Skin…. Adorkable provided my poses (still a sale going on!) and Sasy Scarborough provided my lovely slink applier nails, you can’t see them but they are OWLS.  If you haven’t checked out Flairs HUGE selection of nail appliers, you really bloody should.  Sasy is a machineeeee, a lovely sexy one.

Now now NOW! Breno made this awesome house for Collabor88 and I am finally getting around to blogging it!  Isn’t it effing gorgeous?» View author and full post…

I am ready to plan with my notebook and laptop tucked neatly into this fabulous tote from BSD Design Studio. The fun and flirty skirt is from the brand new store, Lacuna. it comes in all sorts of happy, stripey color combinations.

Strawberry Singh’s Teach Me Something meme appeals to me. To be honest, I do not do a lot of the memes and challenges because what with all the weekly challenges from colors, to Disney characters, to concept challenges to these weekly memes, a person can easily lose track of their own blogging and become just one more iteration of the various weekly themes. However, this meme is particularly fascinating. I would love to learn about skills people use in their real lives – and get an insight into their interests and passions outside of Second Life®.

In my professional life, I probably spent more time planning than doing. After all, there were lots of volunteers and members for the doing, carrying out the plans we made. I did all sorts of planning: planning for conferences, board meetings, dinners, auctions and other fundraisers; planning lobbying campaigns to pass legislation, planning electoral campaigns for candidates and for ballot measures, strategic planning for long-term growth and development.» View author and full post…

Writer’s block: DEMOLISHED!

Well, mostly.

If you’re just tuning in now, you might have missed my newest blogger challenge! Yes, I was having a hard time putting words to (metaphorical) paper and I’ve noticed that the longer you put writing to one side, the harder it is to start up again.  Hence the challenge to just post something, already! 

Feeling similarly stoppered up? Give it a try!

( The Truth.)

I hope you’ve heard by now that our beloved Sea Hole is closing. Like me, you might have wondered why a star brand at Collabor88 was missing, only to sigh, nod sadly, and sulk over the news for days. Whether you made it to the mainstore right away or not, whether you bought half the store in one fell swoop (like me) or resolved to get a few things, only to find you absolutely NEEDED the entire store afterwards (also like me), it is my sincere hope that you have done everything in your power to send this incredible designer out with a bang (and all of your L$). Drinkenstein Sorbet, you will be missed!

(The WHOLE Truth.)

Second Life is always changing. This is most likely the only thing we can say for certain about the place we choose to make our home.» View author and full post…

Technically it’s Wednesday in the UK but SHHHHHHHH!

TSG (The Sugar Garden) release some GORGEOUS stuff, they have their own hands and feet, and they now do suppliers for SLink stuff too!  So that’s great, but I am not here to show you them!  They have a gorgeous new mesh dress out, I have worn it above in a lovely pastel pink colour, and it’s soooo lovely!  It’s a strapless affair,with lace around the bottom and it makes for such a cute and sexy look.    You could wear it over leggings, or jeans, but I opted to wear it solo with a gorgeous new Exile hair, TSG skin and Adorkable pose!

TSG also recently released the Stargazer Eyes!  They come in all the colours shown above, and each comes with a L and R mesh addon.  I have shown just the texture versions though.  Whether you want a normalish green, brown or blue, or a bit out there red, pink or grey…. these are are lovely.  They come with a larger star in the middle, and little specks here and there, definitely more fantasy eyes than regular but gorgeous nonetheless!

If you don’t normally shop at TSG or haven’t been before, or in a while, I suggest you go NOW!!!!» View author and full post…

Often times when blogging, I find it really hard to come up with something to write. I mean sure I can talk about what I’m wearing but I don’t want to seem like I’m gushing too much or using the same adjective over and over. And in the end, you will know what I’m wearing from my credits. So what else can I say? Do I just leave a pretty picture? Do I give you an appropriate quote or song lyrics? Do I talk about a topic that’s been on my mind for a while? In the end it’s my blog, and I’ll talk about what I want. Even if it is hard to get started sometimes.

Afternoon Lovelies! <3
