Viking Princesses

The Fantasy Collective is back with a brand new round and the theme this time is Vikings! There is lots of cute stuff to be had including hair, clothing, and accessories so I grabbed my hoar sister, Zieking and made her pose pretty with me. We are fierce Viking Princesses, aren't we?

Genie in a Bottle

I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're lickin' your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby (Baby baby baby...)
Ooohhh, my body's sayin' let's go
Ooohhh, but my heart is sayin' no

 

 

If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression (Oh yeah) 

Gotta like what you do

Let It Go

Hey all! I'm back from my RL vacation and mini blogging vacation. I hope you've missed me. I decided to change my priorities in SL a little and just have fun so blogging took a back burner for awhile but I'm back. You see, I was getting caught up in the game and taking things too seriously. I trusted people over the past year whom I now know I shouldn't have trusted and was hurt numerous times by people I considered to be my best friends inworld. I've made the choice to become selfish and only do things for myself in the future. It's sad that I have to change who I am in order to mentally survive in a virtual world but sometimes I guess change is for the good so here is to hoping. When I first joined SL, I was looking for a place to escape the seriousness of my RL but over the past year, SL has brought me more drama and grief than RL ever brings me. I don't want negativity online and yes, I know that I am responsible for some of it but it's not who I am or who I ever want to be. I feel sorry for those who let it consume them and eat away at their hearts and hope someday they can get to this very place where I am at. Since it's the start of a new year, I'm using this time to let it go and forget about the past. I hope you all use this time to do something that makes you happy and brightens up your life as well.

Now onto blogging stuff! Once again, I've decided to enter The Arcade photo contest. I love gachas and the thrill of attaining that precious rare you must have plus the warm feeling in my heart when I surprise my friends with a little gift that I've picked up from them so of course, The Arcade is my favorite SL event. I love how whimsical the designers get with their creations each round and always wind up picking up more than I need. The last few rounds I've realized that I could use my stuff to make pictures and enter the contest dreaming of winning so that's what I did. When Dead Dollz released this breathtakingly beautiful Frozen inspired dress at their store, I decided I wanted to do a snow fairy look with all my Arcade goodies so voila this is the picture.

Finally, my location today is at the Louisiana SIM and I'd like to thank Zaidee Frost for allowing me to come rez all my stuffs and terrorize her land. Zaidee designed this beautiful winter SIM for a winter charity ball that went off this weekend raising 23K in lindens for an AIDS foundation. The SIM is fabulous and rez is on so you can rez fun little props to take pictures if you promise to clean up after yourself. You should definitely check it out as it's open until January 5th and while you're there, be sure to donate a little money to the cause at one of the many donation boxes that decorate the SIM.

Weird Question Meme

Hi all! It's time for another little meme brought to you by Berry. This time she's got us answering weird questions about ourselves. Since I like to talk, I just had to participate. If you'd like to participate, you can copy the questions below and answer them on your own and if you want to check out any of Berry's other fun memes, you can do so here.

I'm also using this blog post to show off some items from Summerfest. I fell in love with this playable ukulele that Balaclava has out for the event. It has three songs on it and you can also play duets with other ukulele owners. Summerfest has loads of goodies so be sure to check it out. Now on with the questions and answers!

1. Which was the last sim you visited? (Other than your home) Baja Norte to take this pic

2. Does your avatar look like the real you? Nope but I wish she did! I try to maintain some curves with Kis though because I'm not thin in RL and I feel awkward being so in SL. 

3. Do you wear underwear/panties underneath your clothing when out and about on the grid? Nope, I usually forget and I've been told about it dozens of times! *sticks my tongue out at my besties*

4. If you won a million linden dollars, what would be the first thing you buy inworld? Hmm, probably presents for all my besties. I like giving presents! I'd then pay my land for a year and cash the rest out.

5. Have you ever bought something in SL and then realized afterwards that you had already owned it from before? Nope. I know what I like and have a pretty decent memory so I am able to keep track of what I've purchased.

6. Have you ever done anything in Second Life that would be considered illegal in real life? Yep. I've done everything from escort to breaking and entering to being a public menace to shooting people during urban RP. 

7. If you could go out on a date with any other avatar, who would it be? My heart, Carter. 

8. Who, in your opinion, was the greatest avatar to ever slive?  Myself! Just kidding!! Everyone has an amazing avatar and it's wonderful to see the many ways people in SL represent themselves. 

9. What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done inworld? Hmm sooo many, responded in the wrong window, pasted chat convos to the wrong person, tp'd somewhere naked, logged in on my ex and the girl he was playing at the same time as me cuddling on his couch. SL is full of  embarrassing moments. You just learn to laugh about them. 

10. If your avatar had a mind of its own, what do you think it would say to you? Be happy. SL is supposed to be fun!

Seaswept

Demise of Flight released the most adorable basic maxi dresses. These simply pretty numbers come in 8 bold colors ranging from a neutral black to a brighter teal. I loved the teal meadow color so much that I just had to show it off for you. I added some new Exile hair (loving the sunkissed streaks!) and a pretty lotus flower from Noodles and voila, my seaswept look is complete!

Also forgive me if my picture is a little imperfect today. I was messing around with trying to create my own depth of field in GIMP and it was my first attempt. If anyone knows any good tutorials for this, feel free to pass me them because after all, practice makes perfect! :D

Cause I'm Broken When I'm Lonesome

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I want to hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; and I know it serves me well

You've gone away,
You don't feel me here anymore

Clumsy

*looks out at the icy rain leaving a glistening trail down my windowpane* Today, it is miserable out. It was supposed to snow but instead, we got this yucky rain. You know, the kind of weather that makes you long for sunny days with bright blue skies. On SL, we don't have to have dreary days if we don't want to so I took advantage of this to throw together a look that reminds me of warmer weather and the beach. In RL, I live about an hour away from the beach so if I really want to, I can just hop in my car and be on the boardwalk skating my heart out in no time.

Magic Night

I like mostly everyone on SL went to The Arcade and went broke. I kept going back for things I had forgotten the first time I went and then, I found the yard sales and yeah, you know what they say, "One person's junk is another's treasure." so I bought a little from them too. I loved the rich satin texture of this dress from Baiastice so much that I had to build a look around it. Lucky for me, I had the perfect skin in Al Vulo's TDR release of Ramona. Magic Night has purple eye makeup that complimented the dress well. This skin comes in 3 tones and includes lots of extras like the Lola Tango appliers and the pretty eyes I'm wearing. I'm showing off the Fairy tone. What's your favorite one?
