.Ashes to Ashes.

So I'm just gonna jump right into things and say how much death sucks. Cancer too, for that matter.

I grew up listening to David Bowie. For as long as I can remember, I heard him in the background of my life. My parents both have amazing taste in music, and they made sure to educate my siblings and I on so many different sounds...I didn't really start gravitating to Bowie until after I watched Labyrinth for the first time.

David Bowie was just...everything to me. I'm generally not really affected by celebrity deaths, but this one has affected me as much as Robin Williams' death did. I've been listening to his whole discography non-stop, and falling in love with his beautiful voice all over again.

I feel like...now that he's gone, so is our collective permission to be weird. I don't think there will ever be someone as eccentric as him in our lifetimes anymore, and that saddens me.

LOTD #015

Hello, it's me :D

I'm just dropping in real quicklike to share some more amazing stuff from this round of The Seasons Story, which opens tomorrow!! 

So...I'm not a fan of mesh heads. I don't make any secret of it, they're gorgeous but I'm too fond of my own face to really want to give it up. But...when I saw the new head that Genesis Labs has put out for The Seasons Story, I decided to take the plunge and pick it up. I put it on and...I really really like it. I won't make a permanent change to mesh heads, but I'm super happy with this one, it's so well made!!! 

Guys, there's just so many things coming out to you all tomorrow, please PLEASE go check this amazing event out, it's without a doubt my favorite one in SL :)

*skips in all happy and junk*

Hello lovelies, and happy new year!! I'm sleepy and all, but before I go catch some zzz's I wanted to give you a little peek at what's coming from my favorite quarterly event, The Seasons Story!!

Obviously this is the winter round, but I decided to stay inside with some of my family...and of course, with some cats. These adorable kitties are part of a gacha set from [[RH]], and the cushion on the far left photo has a surprise in store for when you sit on it. So many kitties, it makes me so happy :D

The hair I'm wearing is by MINA, and as usual...her hair styles mirror how I generally wear my hair in my real life - casually tossed up out of my face. 

The pose is by !bang, and will also be at The Seasons Story! It's simply adorable, and looks so fun. I'm so happy to have gotten to spend a few hours with these amazing women, and I'm glad they are in my life. 

Enough sappiness, I'm off to nap!

The Seasons Story opens on the 10th, so I will update this blog post with the SLURL once the event opens. You'll have til the 31st to shop and see the greatness offered from some of the best designers on the grid. Cheers!

Sweater Weather.

The colours and smells of autumn are among my absolute favorites in RL...and I absolutely adore seeing what creative sim owners do with their landscaping for SL. 

The events are fun too!! The Seasons Story is still going on strong, and you can find my hair, sweater and shoes from this great quarterly event, going on until the end of the month. I'm such a huge fan of high ponytails, it's the primary way that I wear my hair in RL(because its so long and unmanageable), so I was so happy to see that Besom released a high pony! Muka's sweater is so adorable, and it's just long enough that you could wear it as a sweater dress, or pair it with a cute pair of jeans like I did here..I do want to note that I am wearing the Maitreya size of the Blueberry jeans for this photo only, if you want to wear this look outside of a photo, I would suggest wearing a smaller size pant OR a larger shirt if you've got a big booty like me, because the butt pokes through in the back. :D

Reign's boots made me so happy when I saw them!! I love and adore my heels, and generally will not be seen in public in any setting without them, but I adore these slip-on boots!! The fringe is perfect, and the colours are wonderful for autumn!!

Pose used is .GlamRus. Forever Falling...thank you Naomi <3

I'm trying to spend more time with my family in SL, because this year has been sort of tough on me...I've had a lot of shake-ups and it's caused me to pull away from a lot of people, and also to tighten my circle back up again. It's how I cope with betrayals and healing from heartaches, and I've had a lot of them this year. Side note...I can't wait til I'm 30.
So with all that being said, it's really hard for new people to get to know me, but I've known this girl right here for...wow, about three years now. She is my niece Rea's forever daughter, and she is the creative mind behind some of my favorite poses on the grid. Naomi's been content creating in SL for as long as I've known her, and I am super proud of her and her accomplishments. GlamRus has become a grid-known name, and she has grown so much. She was suffering from boredom and a case of not wanting to do anything a few nights ago, so I told her to put something autumn-y on and come pose with me. It accomplished two things for me...getting a picture of us together, and being able to show off this cute pose. A big chunk of her autumn collection has rezzable leaves that you can modify and move around, just to fit in with the look you're going for...keep an eye out for them! <3

Autumn Storytime.

More and more, I am falling in love with autumn. I live in New England, so when the season starts changing, it's such a breathless sight to see. Only the hills of western Pennsylvania can compete with the vibrant changes that happen up here in Connecticut...

I promised you fine readers some new stuff, and here it is! Just in time for autumn, I give you a nice selection of stuff from The Seasons Story, which opens up to the public tomorrow(October 10th)! This round is the event's second anniversary, so there are lots of great gifts from these talented designers, be sure to scoop them up!

I needed some assistance to show off this really cute pose prop from oOo Studios, so I decided to recruit my friend Maxx. For the most part, he wears suits and other really fancy type things, so I got to take him shopping for a new jacket before sitting him with me. Thank you so much for helping me show this off, Maxx!
...also, he's a pretty decent photographer. You should follow him on his Flickr, just cus.

That's all from me for now, lovebugs!!
