Ah.. Day 45324543456 of this flu, I swear. I have reached the pathetic, achy and off-and-on weepy portion of this thing. I'm sad and melancholy and all I want is my mother's cool hand on my feverish forehead. She passed away on Feb 18th, 2008... So, this song means a lot to me.

The shirt I'm wearing is Reek's addition to the effort, and is one of 4 patterns for 75L ea. I plan on getting all four, as well as many other amazing items.

autumn almanac.

Song For This Post - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNgo07Cg7lI

So let me just start with saying that this is a song I have been chanting for the past week. Course, it is more effective to chant when you are stomping through giant piles of crunchy fall leaves, but that's coming. "It's all PART (crunch) of my (crunch, crunch) AUTUMN (crunch) AL (crunch) MA (crunch) NAC!!!! (crunch, crunch, crunch)" Bellowing is not optional.


So, no. There is no fall background to this one because I had to much fun snapping pictures of the dance I finally buckled down and bought after my year in sl (the 25th was my rezzday!! I had no clue til the 26th haha). It's the most awesomest dance, from Sine Wave, called the Jammy Dodger. There is another one that I want to link with it, but I'm not telling you, cos it'll be my signature dance move. *flashes the pearly whites*


Onto the pretty clothes! This may be a look you'll see me sporting more and more as I love it soo much. Both the jacket and the skirt are from oyakin. The skirt is part of the group gift (0L in notices still I THINK), and the jacket is something I plan to collect in every colour (90L). The skirt is my favourite in sl right now, and I am drooling over the bright blue! Ah well, next pay period. I spent a lot, selectively, during my shopping excursions this past little bit.


With it, I am wearing the Millionaire hair from Tiny Bird (complete with tiara) that was Autmn's most recent 50L Friday offering. I LOVE the soft fluffiness of the hair, and the tiara is texture-scripted to match any outfit you can come up with. I also have on Tarnished's BonBon socks (75L/fatpack incredible steal!). The gorgeous skin is lessthanthree's phoebe 02, one of the incredible skins she will be releasing for the upcoming skin fair, and the necklace is from Boing Fromage (prev blogged).


These snaps were taken during my friend Naga's set @ Lucidity, floating high above Wretched Hollow, home to Wretched Dollies. I'll show you more of the sim in a few posts, as it is perfect for haunting fall shots.

AND!!! Just 'cos this thing is awesomeness, and I want it even though a) I have no home to put it in YET, and b) I cannot afford such a wicked thing (2000L). Cloud tp'd me to this awesome cyberpunk/robotics type store a friend of his runs.. and I was in awe. So much here that I want - but LOOK!! at this lounger/shelving unit!!!!!! God this pic doesn't so it justice, so please take the taxi to this store.

Robotic <3

So today I went wandering around the Harold sim, taking pics for the Starlust Flckr contest, and I loved my outfit so much I had to blog it! It all revolves around these two gifts from Reek! - the huggable robot from the Feed Your Head hunt, and the little guy sitting on my shoulder (0L group giftie from the 4th of July - still available to subscribo members I believe). Technically it attaches to your head, but I just did a quick prim adjustment. I can't get over their cuteness! Totally adorable...


All the pictures I have taken here were pictures for the contest (2 I used, 2 I decided to put here). I'm all for the two birds with one stone yaddayadda. So, they were taken around the Harold sim, and I had a lot of fun doing them! All of the poses (aside from the last pic - that's my Line AO) are from (pda).


The rest of my outfit consists of *anuenue's Plaid Half Pants (150L prev blogged), Reek's Ouch! bandaids (99L/fatpack), their Batman Belt of awesome (175L prev blogged LOTS) and their Hidden Temple tee (150L/fatpack - I'm wearing the Faded Orange Iguanas - remember the Nick TV gameshow?? heehee). I also have on Wot's Hair 0014 (1L Harold sim Gift), Sh*t Happens kneesocks (purchased loooong ago), kicks from A.Y.Y. (250L- but I see they have a Lucky Board with these in them as well), Skull F'd glasses from Liquid Candy (50L) and I'm wearing Eloh Eliot's Pleiades Skin in Electra (0L at the Gnubie Store).


Tell me this porta-john is not the standard to which all others must aspire? And yet also very nervous-making.

Anime Me!!!

Today the BBBC topic was to answer who in SL would you switch lives with. I thought hard about this, and honestly? I wouldn't. I enjoy being me in so many ways, both irl and isl. I am too important to me to want to be anyone else (tho' a me with more ducats would be ideal). I wish that I could spend more time with the ones I love in Second Life, but that still would be spending that time as ME. Today's outfit is a perfect exclamation of me in my silliest side. I wandered around the Renesis sim, playing at being an anime character. I shot these pictures at Jenova's homestore (http://slurl.com/secondlife/RENESIS/190/120/30), and I plan to take many many more at different sections of this sim, because it is unforgettable!


Today was all about having fun (by myself, cos everyone was offline >.<). I love the playfulness of this look. It started off with this helmet that I got from a members only camping chair at Utsuku City, which I have heard was closed. Now I have no idea where you can get these things. I know, I know: FAIL.

I also have on the awesome Lopeared Parka, and the Bloody Tank from Rosso, which fit this look perfectly. And my pants of awesome, you ask? From Bot**. A teeny store in the Black Maria sim, filled with free or cheap fun clothes and accessories. Poses are by Elisa and Ladybird (both victims of the SL economy slump).


AND FINALLY!!!!!!!

This is the coolest thing EVARRR and is what inspired my Kingdom Hearts-type video game look *makes fanfare sounds* Reek's Sims Plumbob (99L!!! that's IT!!?!?)


This baby is too astounding. You can load the notecards with phrases and words to trigger the colours to move from happy to furious, just like in the Sims games. It has so many options, all I can say is go get one and HAVE FUN!! Isn't that the best thing about SL? We get to play in all the ways we used to, and with the most wonderful friends along the way (and yes some a-holes, but doesn't every playground have a couple?) .

Tomboy!

I don't know what it is about Reek's clothes that bring out my inner tomboy, but it happens everytime I put on anything from there. Maybe it's because all of Riq's releases relate back to our childhood favourites. As a child, I was DEFINITELY a tomboy. Rough and tumble, I hung out with all the boys, played kick ball, chilled with the older skater boys, and was the girl who got kissed by the boy downstairs while playing Manhunt (a version of capture the flag that any New England child knows well). *grin* Yeah.. that is me in a nutshell. The picture below is me showin' off my Manhunt skills, hiding behind a trashcan.


Okay okay - enough blahblahblah 'bout me.. I'll talk about the clothes now. I'm nearly head to toe in Reek. He's not made shorts yet, but, you know... it's not such a bad idea *coughs*. First I have on Reek's latest Lucky Board Beatles shirt (oL). Under it I layered one of his Colours Baseball Tees (199L/fat pack). When I was a kid, I literally had these classic baseball tees in every colour and wore them under my Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls. I would eagerly watch my older brother's baseball shirts for when he would grow out of them, which ticked him off like you would not believe! Now I can relive my love for these in SL. I blogged one of these in my Purple blog if you want to see a full product shot. I also have on my favourite belt evarrr - Reek's I Heart Batman Belt (prev blogged - yesss I am addiction prone, so sue me).


You NEED to take a peep at my poor knee. I totally skinned it when I fell off the monkey bars. Luckily, Reek has me covered - just like my momma used to, with these wicked bandaids. The I Heart Bandaids (99L/fatpack) come in a TON of colours/layers, so you can mix and match colours, and even wear them on either/both knees! I am especially fond of the reddened skin detail behind them. Takes care of all my ouchies!


To finish off my look, I have on RockCandy's Bambi hair (100L/5pk colours), all the same jewelry, tats and fingertape I always wear, and these superhappymaking kicks from :::LiNe::: (0L MHOH gift). Their Chucks rank amongst my favourites. My shorts are from Frop (part of a previous MM gift, these change often so get to the boardslappin' peeps!).


Finally, just 'cos, I wanted to show you the new friend I made outside of Boycut's public bathrooms on Harold.
