I found this flamingo in my inventory and could not resist not even a little bit. It’s a perfect way to spend my beautiful day in the government housing I actually call home.  Further proof that a life of luxury and leisure is not impossible in the linden ghetto, I suppose.

Further proof that fancy is as fancy does, I suppose.

I am determined to lounge and worship the sun all weekend. This swimsuit isn’t new, from Sn@tch, but is still one of my favorites.  I like a little classic modesty, what can I say?

I wish you a beautiful Saturday wherever you are!

It’s a long weekend for my avatar and I’ve got a new shop that got me beach ready in a hurry. Lacuna has released breezy maxi skirts and gorgeous toned bandeaux for sunning yourself on relaxing island days that are perfect as our thoughts turn to sunshine and the beach.

I’ve grabbed some older jewelry and accessories from Maxi Gossamer for relaxed, casual style and since the grid won’t let me change skin today, YAY another look at an older release from Belleza – AIKO.

The hair is Wasabi Pills and keeps my pixel neck from sweating.

Luckily ladies don’t sweat anyway.

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…

With all of the photoshopping and windlighting and fancy things we bloggers do to pictures, it’s easy to forget that this isn’t the usual SL’ers experience. Some people come onto the grid and don’t even know HOW to change the lights. Personally, I remember someone teaching me how to make the sun come back as being a brilliant day. I got lamps for my SL house just FOR WHEN IT WAS DARK. I literally didn’t know what else to do.

So when I walked outside into the park near my house, in default lighting, I had this moment of realizing WOW that’s what this just looks like, without anything fancy, with nothing taxing the old graphics card – my setting was HIGH not ultra, and just the default region windlight.

It’s a testament to the quality of what I’m wearing I think, that everything skin, dress, hair etc doesn’t NEED a quick PS touch up to look pretty. If you buy these things, this is what you’re getting, without fail. No worry that I’ve changed the colors or the shape with little tweaks here or there to hide imperfections.

I think that’s great.

Another thing I’m here to share today is two of my favorite new things.» View author and full post…

I was going to originally call this post something else, but I’ve been only in the mood to do quick shots lately, so here is a one-shot look at today’s outfit. I don’t often wear greens, so I decided to depart from my normal choice of pinks and purples, to show another side of me in aqua and chartreuse. The weather hasn’t been so great, so my windlight settings for today’s photo also reflects that.

I decided to use my mesh breasts again, so we have another boob-friendly outfit from DCNY which is specially available at Bewbapalooza! You can wear the dress with or without the sheer black shrug; and with or without mesh breasts. You also have the option of a prim or mesh skirt panel. There are nine colors available, and each one will set you back only L$ 135! This is a limited time event, so you’ll want to hurry over and grab one now.

A little while ago my alt got herself some mesh breasts, and when I saw the Belted Chevron dress from DCNY, I splurged and bought myself a pair. So here we go, my first post using mesh breasts! They take some adjusting, but I’ll be using them more as the weather gets warmer and I want to show some more skin. This dress comes in a variety of colors, with 2 belt options (black or brown), and then a belt-less version like I am wearing. You can get it right now at My Attic, which only runs for a short while longer.

I got some new items from E! Eclectic Apparel and Accessories today, and one of them was a cute new tank top with an Easter bunny. Since it’s just a couple days away I put together a casual version of an Easter outfit using it as the base. It’s the current VIP group gift, if you’re not a member of the store’s group, there is a group join board next to the gift. There is a L$ 400 join fee, but you get a gift every month so it’s totally worth it. I decided to also wear their new Kallie Pants in Navy, which has a subtle leather texture. The pants come in 10 colors so there’s plenty to chose from.

I added the Video Games hair by Truth to top it off, since it comes with a flower headband that reminds me of the headbands that little girls tend to wear with their Easter dresses. For L$ 100 you can take your chance at The Arcade and get a random color from the gacha machine. The headband is separate from the hair so you can wear it with other hair.

That’s all from me for today, Happy Easter everyone!

Today’s outfit uses items from 2 events, so you’ll want to make sure you stop by and visit both of them! My hair is out at Collabor88 by D!va and it comes with 2 versions, and the ability to change the colors of the accessories as well as turn them off completely. I also got my new cute skirt recently, it’s from The Sea Hole’s gacha machine at The Arcade. It’s got a cute little kawaii happy poo on it, and well…this could be the first and last time I wear poo.
