Why I Wear Blue

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

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.

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?

Chop Zuey’s 12 Days of Christmas

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…Boobie has once again graced the showroom of Chop Zuey and is leaving presents for all of the group members ^^

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.

Little Things That Matter

If I haven’t said this before, if you don’t want to go out on the grid in sweats which shopping, just throw on a trench coat. If you have a few more minutes, you can add some cool accessories to elevate your look.

All Eyes on Me

Ever felt really confident when walking into a place? It could be a party, club, or even the grocery store. You know you look good, and you see others turning to stare as you walk in. Some may even say that you look nice.

Pumpkin’ Donuts: The Ultimate Pick-Me-Up

Lately, I have noticed that in the evenings I am in dire need of sweets. Even though it’s not the greatest to use food to sooth your emotions (too much potential to overdo it), it really does hit the spot.

Tonight I am getting my sweet fix with something that I saw during my Fifty Linden Friday rounds: Pumpkin’ Donuts.

Alice in Sibylline

When I saw this corset with this jewelry, I just had to see how they looked together.
