You give me fever

Sometimes a creator in Second Life designs something that instantly makes me nostalgic for a time that I didn't even know. This new hair from Truth, Beatrix, is one of those creations. As soon as I saw it, I got visions of sultry vocals, smoky lounges and vintage clothes. Its a beautiful retro style that has multiple style options that can also make it look quite modern. It's available now at the Truth mainstore, and is amazing no matter how you style it. 

One of my favorite clothing stores in Second Life is Just Because. The styles are feminine, classic and sexy all rolled into one. This dress, Wendy, is a perfectly vintage style, tightly fitted in the bodice with a sassy little flare at the bottom that would have fit right in at a speak easy. This is an older release that can be found at the Just Because mainstore.

Never Lose your Sense of Wonder

Flickr Link

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder...This is a lyric that's always stuck with me and I find that this time of the year, more than any, I need to remember that. I work in retail, and it's the holiday season...so things get a little crazy! I have to remind myself that even though there's chaos with dealing with grouchy customers, frustrated coworkers and everyone in between, that its a season to be thankful, not just stressed! So, even when things are insane, I try to find wonder in the little things. Be it help that you didn't have to ask for, or watching someone give a small act of kindness when they didn't think anyone was watching or finding a gorgeous array of flowers to stop and take a picture with. 

Truth's VIP group recently reached 40,000 members. 40,000! That's incredible! As a thank you, he rereleased a past VIP hair gift with his updated textures. He let his group members vote on which style they wanted to see updated, and I for one, was ecstatic to find that the HoneyAna/Char VIP gift was the chosen. Its a beautiful updo and is available in his store for VIP members for 500L for the fatpack for those that might have missed it. 

Image Essentials Props & Poses is going to be part of this month's Ebento event starting November 10th and running through December 1st. They have an amazing pose pack full of sitting poses available, 5 poses plus their mirrors for only 300L, and each pose is great, I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted to use!

I took this photo at a beautiful winter themed sim called Somewhere In Time. It's gorgeously landscaped and thoughtfully decorated throughout the whole sim. I spent an hour exploring and I'm sure that I didn't see everything and will make more trips back. If you're looking for a festive scenic backdrop, this is a great place to visit.

Impromptu Proposal

Flickr Link

First, a quick note! Due to the new Flickr updates with linking mp and store links in your Flickr pictures, I'm going to be utilizing (and dusting off) my blog! This is going to be a new challenge for me, but one that I welcome. So make sure to check out the blog for the full list of credits. I'll still be posting the picture on Flickr, but it'll link back to here!

I've recently been asked to blog for one of my favorite hair stores in Second Life, Truth! I've been shopping at Truth's store since I first joined Second Life almost 9 years ago, and he's only gotten better with each year and release. I'm honored to be promoting his wonderful creations. This style was a VIP hair last June, called Ambriel and is still available for purchase for VIP members, for 500L for the whole fatpack. 

I've also recently been selected to blog for Image Essentials poses, and I am so excited to share their items with everyone. They make great solo, couple and group poses and many of them include props for you to use in your photographs. This one is going to be available at Designer Showcase starting November 5th through the end of the month. The Oh Gee set is set at 300L and you get a lot of bang for your linden! It includes three couple poses, the sofa, rose and fun candy ring prop. The ring is even transferable so you'll be able to give it to your partner. Make sure to check it out once the event officially opens to the public.
