I GOT A PIRATE KITE!!!!

I have always been in love with the photos of Miss Jasmine Ballinger, she is in my top 10 SL photographers list - the people that make me think WOW every time I see some of their photo artwork. Jasmine - aka Veggie Burger by me at least - makes very soft, pretty photos the vast majority of the time. They have a real delicate and feminine feel to them, if that makes sense, and I love the way she brings out bright colours.

We'd been planning to get together for a photo since we met at the Festival of Sin, which was months ago in February, but only last week did we manage to get our acts together and meet up for a photo. 

Her blog provides more details about the discussion we had in setting up this photo lol, basically it was her idea but I was adamant in wanting a pirate kite. She offered me cupcake kites but I was a bit like a stroppy kid wanting the pirate kite! 

There you are kiddies, sometimes it pays to be a bit of a spoilt brat - sometimes it gets you what you want LOL!

Have to get excited over this outfit too!!! Sometimes, mesh and I have a bad relationship. I wear a no mod shape, long story, one that I have discussed before, but anyway it will sometimes stop me wearing mesh clothes. This sweater from Una is mesh though and it fits really well! Teamed with some leggings from SAKIDE, hair from Wasabi Pills and accessorised with a necklace from Magika (which I believe is no longer available!) and some of my favourite boots from sYs, I think this is a perfect kite flying outfit!

52WOCC2 - Week 28

Another week, another blue tone... We seem to have had lots of blues this time around so far! I absolutely loved working with red last week, such a bright splash of red to get the creative juices pumping, but another blue this week caused me trouble! I sighed, I threw open my wardrobe, and then as with every week I stood scratching my head for at least half hour wondering what I would wear before closing the doors and going off to do something different for a while. This week though, once I found the dress I wanted to wear I still had to ask Fledge for an idea of what I could do with it LOL... Luckily she came to my rescue!

This outfit prompted a HUGE laughing fit, I really needed one of those but afterwards my stomach muscles hurt a bit and I think Hell thought I had gone insane! Basically, a lot of our SL family are non-human, we have an interesting collection of dragons, furries, werewolves, and other random magical folk (that's really compressing the list and Fledge may tell me off lol - but if I had listed everything this would be a MASSIVE post hehe!) Anyway, I think it was my first or possibly second rezday, Suzari, the black panther of the family, told me to hold out my hand and promptly coughed a large black fur ball into it! I was able to trade the fur ball in at the time for one black Zoobies kitten, who spent many years roaming my SL homes. However, as I was putting together the look that Fledge had suggested would work with the dress, I realised I wanted some big furry buttons, upon searching through my inventory I stumbled upon the fur ball that Suz had given me, I had tucked it away as a memory for 5ish years (if it was a real fur ball it would be toxic by now lol). It worked but was a bit big, and due to the fact it was no mod and no copy, I needed to see if Suz could give me one with different perms, so I put a message somewhere it would be seen... My Gtalk status... In the end I didn't use the fur ball, but that is my epic funny story of the week!

Week 28 - Astronaut Blue

Week 28: A Romantic Pierrot look for me, Thanks Fledge!

What is she wearing; 

Hair: Yulicie – Want 

Skin: The Hidey Spot - Vera Skin in Crimson Pale 

Eye Make-Up: KOSH - Exile Duo Eyeshadow in Silver sky, AND, Sassy Kitty Designs (now SAKIDE) - Pierrot MakeUp 

Mouth Rose: KOSH - Crying Rose in red 

Neck Ruffles: A Little Circus - Pierrot Costume Pierrot-eri (FREEBIE but retextured - ty Fledge for the lace and the location of this costume!) 

Dress: paper.doll - Peyton in frozen 

Fluffy Buttons: Fluff from a shirt sleeve I edited myself

Ring: Maxi Gossamer - Gigi Shimmer Bow 

Pose: STaTUS - Glammah Shotz 3 

I had no idea what to do with the background of this picture, when you look for Pierrot images it either seems to be showing the clown in a very gothic style with ruins and the like, or on a plain pretty background. I went with the pretty, sparkly as you can see and dropped a few pretty layers over the top to make it look kinda whimsical! I love the way that this turned out, never did I think I'd love blue LOL, but I think it is just pretty - I am biased however hehe! 

Next Week - Persian Rose

Nyan Cat Just For The Bean!

My nephew is a super smart 4 year old, who is already as good as, if not better than, me at using a computer. He seems to have the incredible knack of finding the most random of things on the internet, and sometimes this ability gets Fledge (his mum) on edge... You never know what she is gonna show me that he's found. 

I am not totally sure if it's still a favourite, but for a while he drove Fledge bonkers with the Nyan Cat. 

I was skipping merrily around SL the other day when I came across the store Nemezi, I think I was at Jersey Shore, though don't necessarily count on that. I was being a lazy shopper at the time and I cammed around inside the store but then suddenly, OH MY GAH NYAN CAT EYESHADOW!!! I had to have it, the price 5L!! ONLY 5L I was blown away!! I grabbed one fast and ran away, cackling like a crazy lady... 

Silly me though, I had kinda forgotten about it until today when I wanted to create a pretty picture and was wearing a fairly rainbow coloured outfit... It was like hitting the jackpot, when I found it again hehe!!! 

There are a few other 5L eye shadows available at Nemezi, you should really check them out. I got a few, but I really hope that more join those that are available, as it awesome to find bright and fun make for such low prices!

Fairy Post The Best Way To Send Love!

I've been playing with photography again, am I getting better or just more meh on a different level? I can't quite work that out for myself, still I am enjoying learning and trying new things... I really enjoy this website that Morgana found too for adding layers and things! SO PRETTY some of the things you can do! I'm still playing with that too! 

Today though I wanted to create a picture that would have a special meaning, kinda... 

I felt brave, I went into the Fairy Heart in our garden, because I had a jar of hearts and wanted to send some love to a few people in the fastest way possible. Fairy Mail is much better than regular post, it's almost instantaneous and you always find the messages left under your pillow - how did you think the tooth fairy did her job so fast!

I did however want to send some love, so I took out my jar of hearts made my my fabulous friend Lynnieloo - better make sure I send her one of these hearts. Oh and I wanna send them to Fledge and to Horatio, as they are some of my favourite people in SL and in RL too... Hell doesn't get one though, he is currently in the dog house for filling our build platform and being a greedy prim whore lol! There have been people who've come back into my life more too, Kregan - a long long long time friend is back, and I met up with Nick too who I'd lost contact with due to some soap opera style melodrama, they can have a heart each, oh and maybe another for Fledge for hosting the party that brought me back into contact with these guys. 

A heart for Niki too, who hasn't been around for a bit due to RL ouchies and travels. 

The main hearts that I want to send today through the fairy mail are for both Laila and Shiny. These girlies have been "having some work done" in RL and so I'm sending them love and wishes that you both recover fast and come back soon! 

Who says sending love has to be restricted to Valentines, I want to send some love now and again... To everyone I love, have some love LOL - Now I am done being nice for the day it's time to go wake up Mr. In-the-dog-house... MWHAHAHAHAHA!

Down at the Swamp - Ribbet Ribbet!

I logged into SL yesterday to a really lovely IM from a stranger. SpaceCase Munster, owner of my new personal Bible blog - Virtual Vagabond, sent me a message to say that she'd randomly discovered my blog and she really enjoyed reading it! *waves to SpaceCase* I am totally and utterly flattered, I know that I have a few friends who read my ramblings but to hear from a complete stranger that they enjoyed reading what I have to say made me feel really good. It brought a huge smile to my face ALL DAY hehe!!! 

After meeting her and reading her awesome blog that is stuffed full of freebies, I had to create a picture to show off my favourite item that I had picked up in the huge freebie collecting session that her blog sparked! 

This frog comes from a store I'd never heard of called Stray Pig, and it is a store packed full of mesh animal tiny avatars and cute fun toys! I was in heaven LOL, they have a wall of lucky boards that have a myriad of cute cuddly things, and the frog you can see me sitting on in the photo above! He's MESH, and he comes with a raining leaf, that I decided to pose without! I have one of their plushie Crocodiles in my hand too, I won that on the roulette game, worse than a gacha machine that thing but I got lucky getting the one I wanted first try!!

You should take a look at SpaceCase's blog - Virtual Vagabond - there are tones of random fun freebies, all with store links, so you never miss the random fun that can be found in SL... I'll be watching the blog religiously from now on! I don't wanna miss anything!

Wow, I've Got A Friend In AD/DC!

Last night was a very busy for me, I mentioned that in the colour post earlier but thought that I should show off some of the things that I have been getting upto... I will wait a bit to see if Fledge posts about her party before I throw any photos onto my blog or Flickr, but I can show you AC/DC.

Horatio Scholessinger, has been a friend for a long time, in many different forms, but he's always been around hehe! He used to be in tribute bands on SL, and stopped for a while when it became one of SL's fads, but has recently been thinking about getting back into the swing of things. If you've never been to a concert in SL, or only ever been to bad ones, you should really try to hit more of the cover band concerts, some of them are REALLY good - don't get put off by the not so good hehe! 

Last night though, Horatio and his partner in crime TEE Dye, joined forces with some some other tribute performers for a rocking AC/DC performance. I do have a few smallish criticisms over certain aspects of the show, like the fact that the performer representing Angus Young remained in a female avatar as she had refused to put on a male one, and other members of the band seemed to look nothing like the real AC/DC. Yet TEE and Horatio stood out as highly professional performers, matching their RL counterparts for appearance and movements! I personally cannot wait to see them take to the stage with their regular line-up, which apparently be putting on a performance of The Doors in just a few weeks! 

TEE and Horatio - Congrats guys you rocked that stage! Shame the others couldn't achieve your standards, but I really cannot wait to see you as The Doors... Consider me as your number 1 groupie fan hehe!

Just because I can't stop singing AC/DC today... Here is a legendary little tune to brighten your day hehe!!! 

52WOCC2 - Week 27

Oh my word, yesterday I was busy!! I had so much to do, including some RL boringness, a movie shoot with Mayala, Fledge's Party and Horatio's AC/DC Concert - all of which I am sure will be posted or mentioned in the next few days lol... Who doesn't love sharing their fun stuff? I mean now I have started uploading things more to Flickr, yet not sure when things will go up LOL, as my blog is and will always be my main focus, but Flickr is easy to use and although I avoided using it for a long while I should use it now I have it! One of those I didn't want it but was made to get it for Seraphim type legacies LOL! 

Still Colour Rudh, focus on the colour lol... I love red, whether it's bright or dark, so long as it doesn't get to pale and venture into the realm of the REALLY EVIL Pink range lol. I had said to a couple of the awesome colourettes that I would include HUGE boobs and rhubarb in this post, but they are missing - sorry Nic and Liz, I will try to get things into a post at a later date - although on the other side of things my SL boobs are pretty big anyway! I did have a lot of choice for the outfit this week, I had to ask Fledge if she thought MaccieD's French Fries or Merry-Go-Round would be a better look... Shouldn't really have asked, she told me what I already knew - Merry-Go-Rounds are always going to get her vote over McDonalds lol! So this week we head back to the fair...
