Happiness is…..

An Orange Umbrella

An Eight Week Old Kitten

A day warm enough to go without a jacket but cool enough to not sweat like pig!

The other day I was talking to Xamirus aka Napoleon aka my partner extraordinaire about fashion blogging in second life. While showing him a few of my favorite sites, I couldn’t help but hear a whole lot of exasperated sighs on the other end of the line. “What is wrong?” I asked him. “Can’t you see it?” he exclaims. “These bloggers wear way too many layers. They have a jacket on top of a jacket on top of a sweater on top of a shirt on top of a pair of shorts over a pair of jeans and then about a billion accessories too.”  After several minutes of laughter, he ended his “assessment” by saying, “Come on now. You watch Project Runway – Michael Kors would be blasting these people for trying too hard!”

Yeah, he is probably right. If I walked around Austin in some of the outfits I feature in my SL blog, I would get a few raised eyebrows. But that’s the point of SL right? It’s not real, its fantasy and a pretty picture world of what you could be if you lived in computer. So to all you bloggers out there who throw away the reality in search of fantasy – I salute you.

Okay about the outfit: Yeah, the look really has absolutely nothing to do with what I am talking about here, well kind of. It does have a lot of layers AND the photos have a 1950s movie feel to it.  It definitely is fantasy, minimal basic fantasy albeit. Plus I finally went to a gatcha festival for the first time in SLife. Woot and I have the manager of Tee*fy/LaViere to thank for that.  She was super nice to me one day when I asked about an old gatcha camera - she told me about the swap groups, the after the gatcha event sales places etc.  Now If only I could remember her name, *sigh*.  Any who that’s all I got today. So as the norm, take care my friends and have a great second life!

Sacrebleu, do I look major French stereotype here or what!. Speaking of the phrase “sacrebleu,” my friend Sasi informed my partner Xamirus that there is no such phrase used by native French speakers. “MERDE!” I exclaimed, “Damn that Agatha Christie and her falsehoods.”

Edited to add:  Sasi, in her very french way, corrected the above statement.  Apparently Xamirus said “Sacre Bleu” and not “Sacrebleu” which does exist but is very old fashioned thing to say.  :)

By the way, I am referring to the Hercule Poirot series in my Agatha Christie rant above. Any who, my outfit was cute and the Lula sim is great so that’s all that matters right? And oh, love this new hair from Laviere – Go buy it now!

Yes, I love to ramble, no I am not imbalanced, LOL – well, maybe. Well that’s all I got folks. So as per the norm, take care my friends and have a great second life!

Ms. Lexington used to spend many an hour of SLife exploring sim, after sim, after sim, after sim. As a nerd girl, she wasn’t exactly getting a lot of bow chica bow bow offers obviously – she ain’t exactly a hot piece of ass, LOL. Because of this exploring was a way she would get rid of all those pent of frustrations she would have from time to time (Hey even nerd girls need some slovins’).  As from the previous post, Elle has decided to go full on retro by letting Lizzie Lexington post these days and art installs were definitely Lizzie’s thing; so to keep in the spirt of Lizzie’s TRIUMPHANT return to the blogosphere, a post on an art installation is definitely in order.

The Inevitability of Fate is a fabulous install by Rose Borchovski & Caer Balogh hosted at Rose’s sim, Two Fish. The story of the install tells the tale of Beth and Lot, mother and son – er maybe a daughter, separated by what appears to be the Holocaust. The install is both haunting and beautiful at the same time and extremely provocative in its sprit and presence. As you wander about the various components and vignettes, one cannot help but want to know more about Beth and Lot and how their lives would have been if they had escaped the war. But honestly, Lizzie should just shut-up and let the pictures do the talking. How about that? I say it sounds like a plan! So let’s take a look, shall we?

For the windlight settings, I chose to go with the recommended light design of the creators – Bryn Oh’s Immersive Grey Dust. For only one of the photos shadows were used.  I opted to exclude shadows because I believe that for the most part residents seem to not use shadows for average daily use.  I highly recommend spending an hour or so at least at the install which will allow the visitor plenty time to explore.  That’s all I got folks. So till next time, happy exploring and have a great second life!
