The Path

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Technology

Have you noticed the way the whole world seems to be staring at a screen? What is in that screen that we can't find out in the world? Does it make us feel connected in a disconnected world? Relevant in a sea of irrelevance? Comforted in anomie? Focused while surrounded by distraction? Neil Postman says we're just "Amusing Ourselves to Death."  I kinda like Postman.

The Darkness and the Light

“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”

― Mark Twain

Sunshine Tentacles (aka Ruina Kessel) of Devae has updated her skin line and added appliers.  This one she named after me, Isabeal, because she knows I love being a ghost! 

And, if you like dark things, please check out this month's round of Horror Haute.  The theme is The Black Death, and it is wonderfully dark.

The Old and the New

There are some shops out there that seem to just make me so happy. The Plastik has been a favorite shop since I very first came to SL. I also love discovering new shops, like Ab.Fab, from which I very much look forward to seeing more.



Check out these three new releases from The Plastik (along with a really cute little skirt from Sn@tch). Get thee to Skin Fair 2015 if you haven't already been, and take a look at Ab.Fab's skins (the one of the left is a gift skin for only 10L! and the other two are only 99L).  If you want some great deals on hair, Soonsiki has a beautiful March group gift out and Little Bones has a whole shelf of free hair.  Finally, if you're looking for some beautiful and unusual eyes, BLD just released a ton of new colors.  I'm wearing my favorite, the electric hazel color (you can click on the pic to zoom in on the color), but there are so many choices.

I'm Outta Here

I wish.  I wish I could hop on a scooter and just go somewhere.  I have a Harley in RL that I would totally trade for a pink scooter just like this one.



Everythings packed and ready to go.  I've got my photo album, a nail file, some spiders and bats, my matchbox cars, and a pack of gum.



I just hope I didn't forget anything important.

Is it Spring Yet?

Here are some more goodies from The Witching Hour and Skin Fair 2015.



This cute dress is from Blue Blood at The Witching Hour.  It's a gacha prize and is only 50L per pull.  You'll get one of several colors.  My spider necklace is from !~v~ ImmateriA ~v~ also at The Witching Hour.



This skin I've blogged a couple times now because I'm in love with it.  It's from Static at Skin Fair.  It comes with all the appliers, so I can wear it with my Slink hands and SweetLips mouth.

A Demon in my View

It's time again for the Witching Hour Gacha Event!  Be sure to check out Beliria's horns.  They are beautifully crafted in mesh with materials and the textures and details are amazing.  You must also get yourself to Skin Fair and pick up this beautiful skin from The Plastik.  It comes in a variety of tones.  I love the veiny texture to it - perfect for an immortal skin.

House of Rain has this necklace on sale to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Sister's of Mercy's First and Last and Always album.  It's only 30L.

Skin Fair Preview - Favorites

Skin Fair 2015 runs from March 13th to March 29th, and I just wanted to show a little preview of my favorites this year:



I tried on a lot of demos, and these are the 5 skins that I fell in love with - all for different reasons.  I'm amazed at just how pretty the PXL's Aeryn skin is.  It has a softness to it that is lovely.  Static's skin, Seia, is just plain glamorous (worn here with PXL's SweetLips).  Ab.Fab's Amy Lee skin looks amazingly like Amy Lee, one of my favorite singers, and the skin is so sexy!  !Imabee's Imogen skin is really unusual.  It's unlike any other skin at the fair, and I am such a fan.  Finally, The Immortalia skin from The Plastic is really unique - there are only a few fantasy skins at the fair this year, and this one, I fell in love with. It's veiny and vampy and chilling. 

Individual reviews of each of these five gorgeous skins are forthcoming.

Be sure to visit Skin Fair 2015 when it opens and check these skins out!
