AN OLD BROOM

Playing dress-up and trying on Halloween outfits this morning when I would rather be spending all my money at the Arcade. I can't get in!! ARGGGGH … I chuckled a little when I saw the new brooms Birdy has out at the Arcade cause they are similar to this one I already have. I like the new colors and accessories. But, the new broom hovers higher in the air, which made using my photo screen inconvenient, so I pulled the old one out of the closet. (At least I'm not trying to ride a vacuum.)

A HOT MESS

Yes I'm a Hot Mess. I filed for divorce last week, and I am emotionally mentally and spiritually scattered. I've got to get it together. It doesn't leave a lot of energy for blogging but I need to pick myself up and get on with things. So here is what I have been wearing for a few days.



I also have to mention the sneakers. These Chucks are another new purchase over at Damien Fate's new shoe store. They include a HUD that changes to twenty-three different textures, all original artwork by Nylon Pinkney! This texture went with this outfit, but most of the others are in bright colors and I will certainly be wearing them again. :D
