Why I Wear Blue

This post may be a little bit late, but I feel that it’s not too late to raise awareness.

Now at The Darkness, the Midori Catsuit from Ghee will let you have it you way. With 8 latex colors that borderlines on metallic when it comes to the shine, you will definitely stand out from the crowd.

The Aftermath

This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

– Fort Minor, Remember the Name

 

**Note: For some reason, formatting this post was hard – the spacing is all over the place and not how I set it. So if something looks weird, know that most of the time doing this post was fighting with the spacing format 🙂

As I sit here, still in my party clothes from the other night, I can still feel the energy from our event at The Fashion Loft. You can check out the TFL FB page for photos from the event here.

2018 Reflections

This will be my last post of the year – woohoo! Last year I did not do a reflection blog post, or even a rez day post 😦 If you would like to see what that would look like, you can check out this post here.

This is my 2018 collage of 1 photo a month 🙂

I will do my best to do a rez day post, because people have been very kind to me this year. And I would like to update you guys as to what I have been up to these days.

I believe 2019 will be a time for re-focusing and getting back to basics. This year has been a rough year for many reasons. So what I will do is to revisit some of the goals that I have set in the past, and check my progress, if any.

When the Clock Strikes 11

Hey guys! So, we have made it not only to the end of the month, but to the end of 2018…wow. So what are your plans for New Year’s Eve?

Neon Lights

Baby when they look up at the sky
We’ll be shooting stars just passing by
You’ll be coming home with me tonight
We’ll be burning up like neon lights

Be Kind

I would like to share with you all something that happened recently in one of the groups I am in. A moderator shared an Amber alert for a missing child in New York with the rest of the group via group notices. Now, was it the best place to share (was not a content creator group, but special interests group)? Probably not. But the comments that took place after that made me wonder why some people felt justified to be condescending and mean. I even wrote in the group, “Which is easier to do – ignore something that doesn’t pertain to you, or make a bunch of comments complaining about it?” I reached out to the person who was practically getting attacked, but I had to step away before I received a response.

By the time that I got back, he had told me (and the group chat) that he would be leaving, and he was pulling sponsorship of his store from all of the group’s activities. “and your reactions have made me decide im done forever with ****, no more sponsoring events, no more parties, and no more ***** discount. Im done trying to help people in rl or sl”.  Scenarios like this one is why I have in my inworld profile, “Do you want to be right, or do what’s right? Be the change you would like to see in the world.” There was absolutely no reason why the group conversation had to go the way it did, except that people thought they were doing the right thing by berating the person for putting the information in the group.

Recent Changes In Flickr and What It Means For Second Life Bloggers

Since the announcement was made on November 1st that there would be changes to Flickr’s Pro and Free account offerings ( Let’s be candid.), feelings of disbelief, anger, and concern have been expressed in the Second Life community. There is no secret that Flickr has been integral to promoting SL fashion & photography. I have even written a couple of blog posts in the past about the influence of Flickr on Second Life blogging, and my own struggle to get the coveted 99+ faves . After reading all of the chatter for the past several days, I decided to make my own comments on the situation.

Just Fly

I was working on this photo last night when Second Life logged us all off (again). I kinda freaked out a bit and a few of my friends messaged me whether I was okay. Oops…but you know how it goes. You have the perfect light, angle, etc and you are about to hit that button to save the photo and then BOOM!.

Just One Minute

After everything is over, sometimes you just need one minute to relax…
