SHOWING MY AGE

I've always loved to mash-up outfits with bits of this and that and mix old and new. I wore pointy ears and wings before it was the "thing" and I'm still wearing them after it was the "thing". This outfit contains rigged mesh, unrigged mesh, sculpted prims, system clothing and flexi-prims. The top half of my body is my system shape, the bottom half is a mesh body, because my kewl new pants are appliers-only. I wish Second Life had more appreciation for longevity; just because something is getting older doesn't mean it isn't still beautiful, like this scarf, which I bought in 2009. Hmm? What do YOU still have in your inventory that has stood up to the test of time?

HO.

Hello everybody! Even though my life is officially a wreck I sure had fun decorating my own little house today. I can't believe I've been gone for nine months.  :)  I missed you. Life is funny isn't it? (Laugh or cry baby, choose one. My new motto.)

FIXATIONS

I have to admit, I have a fixation on food. I find myself hungrily eyeing the sprinkles on this knit hat and I wish I could really eat the luscious cherry on top of the cone. I guess I shouldn't go shopping for clothes when I am hungry.



I don't really go for the more risqué clothing at the Epic Store, but I still like a lot of their Kawaii accessories. All in bright candy colors. Or chocolate shoes that look almost good enough to eat. I could go for a Waffle Cone right about now. :D

HANGARS LIQUIDES

Wandering around Hangars Liquides at night is a little risky. I still can't believe I fell off that catwalk.
