Tempted Fate

“A thousand times I tempted fate …” – 30 Seconds to Mars, “Up in the Air”

Have you ever tried for something over and over and over, wanting so much to succeed, yet find yourself hitting a brick wall? Yeah, I know we’ve all been there.  Whether in SecondLife or the real deal, it’s life.The times you try and fail cannot orchestrate your fate. It’s in these times that one finds the true strength and confidence to press on, out of the shadows, unafraid to take chances, unafraid to breathe in the new opportunities that present themself each and every day. As they say, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life! I plan on finding the silver lining in things, learning from mistakes, noticing the little things and maybe then my intimidations’ efforts will fail to phase me.

#295 Loulou & Co @ the 100 Block

Lolly Carlberg, the owner and creator of Loulou & Co, is also participating to the 100 Block Event hosted by Depraved Nation.

Today I wear the exclusive item she created for this amazing event, the so sexy Paloma dress. When you will buy this dress (and I am sure you will want to buy it *winkles*) you will find in the box a hud which offers you a very nice choice of 15 patterns for the dress. 
So when you buy the Paloma dress you don’t buy one dress but fifteen dresses! And don’t forget the 100 Block Event exclusive items are sold for a lower price till the end of the event (on May 31st).

Below you will find the styling card and landmarks.

epia @ 100 Block

The owner of Every Pixel is Art jokingly gave me a hard time for not blogging them. I, of course shot back that the hoodie released for 100 Block was for men and cut into my ample hip area.  He laughed at me, but I must not have been the only one giving it to him because there is a female version that was added to the releases a few days ago :D victory.  I meant to blog it as soon as it came out, but RL called in a serious way.  All is well, and even though it's taking me the better part of an hour to hunt and peck type I'm glad to still be able to! 

Depraved Nation is holding a photography contest that will close on the 25th and the winner will be announced 2 days after.  For all the details and prize run downs, visit Depraved Nation!

In the Rain

I do like standing in the rain.  It is refreshing.  I like the feel of the raindrops on my skin.  I am also a big kid cos I will stand in the rain and open my mouth and catch droplets on my tongue.

It felt like a nice day to enjoy the rain in SL too.  The best thing about SL rain is that I don’t have to dry off after or get warm!

Today’s items in the rain are brought to you by The 100 Block!

Skin:  [Mystic Canvass] – Anabella Skin – Smoulder

Uhm wut?

So, shopping is fun, but not when sl is hating on you hardcore. I’ve had the worst lag in sl all week. But I find something so funny, so I’mma sort of rant here. Every time I tell someone I’m a blogger they say something to the effect of  ”Oh! I’ve always wanted to try that, I would love to get free stuff.” Or people get into it thinking they’re going to get a ton of free stuff, or money, or whatever.
News flash: That doesn’t happen.
And frankly I get a little pissed when people get into blogging with that kind of attitude. It’s like store owners who only start making stuff because they want to make money. Or DJs that only DJ to get famous. What the hell? That’s not right! As a blogger, I spend a ton of money, and I’m freaking lucky if I can get a store owner to give me something free. And the only time that I legitly ask for something for free is when I find something I absolutely need for a post that I can’t afford. And even then I almost never get what I want and end up having to wait two or three days to buy it.» View author and full post…

Keep Calm and …

What a week it has been. Perhaps not all of you have seen or heard, but my SecondLife was recently hacked into. Thankfully, no essential information was taken or deleted, but it was scary all the same. As a blogger, I realize that I have put myself out in the public eye, whether through an avatar alias or not, and whatever information or items that I post are up for any individual to ridicule, manipulate, share, agree with or simply scroll by. It’s what we do as bloggers. Plus, there’s that whole thing about freedom of speech and freedom of press, but does this make internet bullying acceptable? Is it funny to point and laugh at images that were thought to be private? Sure, if you don’t want someone to see it, don’t post it. Yet to work your way into someone’s personal property, extract whatever you want from that source and then put it on blast to the world… it’s tough to deal with, but I’m moving on from it, happily. I’m not the only one to be violated and it won’t stop with me, but I want anyone who happens to see this to be careful with what you decide to share.» View author and full post…

Depraved Nation is holding a photo contest during our current fair, The 100 Block. Participating stores have donated tons of prizes to be distributed to the winners once they are selected. There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner for this contest.
Here’s how it works:
۞ Entrants will purchase a board (available 5/16/2013) which they will use to display their photo. Boards will be set for sale for 349L$.
۞ In lieu of voting, we are charging a one time entry fee to cover the expense of this contest. We feel this is the best way to ensure the contest winners are based on photo quality and style versus who can TP in the most friends. This is NOT a popularity contest or a contest that will collect L$ for votes.
۞ Once the board is purchased please submit your photo to our designated flickr group. (If you do not have a flickr acct you can pass your photo to Heather Smithson and I will add it for you, please make sure you IM me and let me know this is what you’re doing!).
