Ohai!

I've only been wearing this dress by Tres Blah for Collabor88 for a week, and I've only been wanting to blog this dress for a week, but I haven't had the time.  It's one of maybe two pink dresses I own, and I love it.  Yes, I know it's all been blogged to death, and I know I might have a bit of a reputation for being anti-pink, but you know what?  I don't care.  :-P

BTW, these Meredith glasses by Artilleri are EXACTLY like my RL glasses.  I get all kinds of compliments on them in RL.  I love it when my worlds cross.

Smexy Meshy

I love mesh hair!  I love it! I love it! I love it!  It moves with you, doesn't poke through your boobs, and really looks pretty.

And I love these gorgeous high-waisted pants from LeeZu.

I also love A Glam Affair's skins, especially when they're on sale at the Dressing Room, and the drama of Finesmith jewelry.

Plurk Blogger Challenge - In with old

In response to the Plurk Blogger Challenge, I started sifting through my inventory.  Wow, do I have some horrible things in there.  It's frightening.  However, I did find some hidden gems from my noob days.  I'm not as old as many of the other bloggers - just about 1 1/2 years in SL, so I can't pull out the stuff from 2006 or 2007.  I did find some of my old favorites.  I was very thankful for one shop in particular when I was a noob, Dogyanya2 and their lucky boards.  It always seemed to hit "I" when I was there! \o/

I just went back and visited the shop again and all three dresses are still on the lucky board.  They're cute, well made, and don't look noobish at all.  I got my Tesla pumps from Free Dove and for awhile, they were my only shoes.  I couldn't stomach the blinging boots that seem to be so popular.  I don't remember how I found Dogyanya2, but I took all my friends there when they were new.  There is also a nice freebie area on the sim with some other cute dresses, shoes, and accessories.  

My very first skin purchase was this Chai skin by Launa Fauna.  This skin is no longer available, but Launa Fauna's shop has some beautiful new skins that are among some of my current favorites..  And my first hair purchase (after getting the obligatory free hair from Gurlywood and Diversity was the Milano style from Armidi.  I thought it looked a lot like my RL hair, and I wore it ALL the time in my 1st couple months in SL.

Always After the Fact

Out of the many recent new releases from Sn@tch, this Swirl and Swing outfit is one of my favorites.  The skirt has a sculpted inner piece, with flouncy outer layers.  The velvety top has a wonderful texture to it.  The outfit comes with the top, three different skirts, and the stockings.

I'm also wearing "Oh Darling" from Posh.  It was part of their 50L weekend sale.  Ticky Tacky earrings and bangles complete the outfit.

And why is it that I don't notice the glaring errors in my pictures until after I've already edited them, uploaded them, and finished blogging them?  Doh!  Seems to happen to me every time.

Kitty Mew

I had a wonderful time at the Tic Tac Toe grand opening.  There are bargains galore, great designs, and the cutest gifts!

The top and skirt are opening gifts and were only 1L each.  I paired them with the cute little paw collar from Dreams.  It's color change, so you can match any outfit!  The hair is from the Gatcha from Kik.  There are 5 different styles and they are all so cute!  In addition to the kitty hair shown above, there is a stag, a bunny, a bear, and a mouse.  Each try in the gatcha is 30L and each style comes in 3 colors.

Ode to Mom

I Love Olive's new release, Doris, of course, got me thinking about my mom, also named Doris.  She is an amazing woman.  A feminist ahead of her time, a self made person who grew up in poverty, put herself through school, and made a career for herself alone in the 1950s.  She has selflessly raised an autistic son, and always been there when she was needed.  She is a wonderful mother, and my best friend.
