What's in my bag?

my bag

Ok, I don't normally do these.. not because I don't think they're fun but because I just always think I will and then never get around to it. This time though, Vi said I had to do it or else she was going to.. well, i'll leave that part out lol but anyway.. here it is, the junk from my bag.

**PS I went the lazy way and made notes on the actual picture so you may need to click it and choose "all sizes" to see it better. Oh, and I did somehow miss two things.. the random empty vending machine ball that had some toy in it that my niece just HAD to have, and the bottle of assorted pills :D hehe Ok, that's all. Enjoy!

Candy Corn dollarbie set out @ Vi's church!

Ok, now for a less controversial post lol I just put out my candy corn piercing set at Vi's freebie church outside of her mainstore HERE. The set includes a single labret spike, triple labret spikes, septum ring, eyebrow ring, spiked fangs, and three versions of the gumball necklace, all for a solo linden! It'll be there till halloweenie is over! :)

While you're there, make sure you pick up all of Vi's awesome dollarbie's too, and check out the awesome work Lala did on the chuch windows. It's us! hehe

@ Lurve

I woke up this morning to the wave of gossip surrounding the feed. When I saw Sn@tch vs. Torridwear, I thought it must surely be some type of joke. How can the two even be compared? While they are both very talented designers, the products they produce are so completely opposite. Then, I read the post. I was sickened.

How can someone take it upon themselves to blow an issue like this wide open when it's nothing that directly concerns them? Especially someone who has already been involved in a nasty mess like this one. I may be new to the world of blogging, but that doesn't mean I have been out of the loop in the past. I know this woman doesn't have a very good rep when it comes to theft accusations.

I'm not saying that she was wrong for expressing an opinion on the subject, she has a right to an opinion just like the rest of us, but I believe it was horribly wrong of her to go public with something like this when it's none of her business. This is something that should have been discussed with the designer in person.. quietly.

I feel absolutely horrible for Ivey, knowing what she is going to have to go through even if these claims are dropped and go nowhere. Imagine the people who read that post and then spread it around like wild fire without even paying any mind to Ivey's defense. These are serious accusations and could be very damaging to a person's reputation on the grid.

I really hope that as she's sitting there hiding from the drama that she herself started, she realizes what she has done and how low it really was. I also hope that Ivey keeps her head high and keeps going with what she does. Her true fans will be there regardless of what these people say. It's perfectly obvious that there was no intentional theft in this case. It all comes down to an honest mistake in my opinion.

It's coming!

Fall is almost here! Well, at least in my part of the world. The days are getting chilly and it's time to pull out those warm clothes. I know personally, there's always a few weeks that i'm cold but not ready to give up ALL of my summer clothes, so I try to mix and match seasons. This is a LOT easier for me to do in SL lol. It's cool and rainy out today, and this outfit just looked like something that would be a little on the warmer side with a hint of the passing summer.



I started with the Turtle Sweater from Kurotsubaki. I've had this since last fall and I still love it. It looks so cozy and comfy. It comes in a two pack with a navy blue version too for only 100L. It's a total steal and they're so versatile. I paired them with the free, yes FREE, Check Pants from UnToneQuilt and to jazz it up a little, I slipped on the slinky stilettos in black from Maitreya. These used to be free in front of the store but I didn't see them the last time I tp'd in.

Shhh! Don't tell anyone... but

I'M LATE AGAIN! I totally missed bandana day because I was out of town having a WoW fest.. (don't tell anyone that either) but I HAD to do this post because I loved the bandana I bought sooo much. I had a hard time choosing from all those up on the wall, but I finally decided on this cute pink flowery one from Torrid.

I picked it because I thought it would go with a ton of stuff... um no. At least not in my inventory. It totally clashed with the very few shades of pink I actually have and the pattern was hard to match. Buuuut, I finally found something that worked and here it is!






The totally cute jewelry is miscellaneous pieces of the cuppycake set from the oh so talented Violet Voltaire. If you have never seen her stuff (which I doubt) go there now! It's freakin awesome and it looks so good you'll wanna eat it! The overalls are an oldie but goodie from Panjen and the shoes are the chucks from Akeyo which I lurve and wear with just about everything! I chose to go topless not to be sexy, but because I could not find a good pink top to go with that bandana and the ones I tinted came out horribly. lol Besides, they cover the nips and that's good enough for me! hehe



Ok, back to WoW for a bit.. until next time!

Aloha!

I'm off to my mini vacation early in the AM, so I thought this post would be appropriate. Ok.. so i'm not going to Hawaii, nor would I want to (I'm a total winter person) but I am going on a canoe trip and that has to do with water = Hula girl? Erm.. no, you're right, it has absolutely nothing to do with it at all.. but enjoy the post anyway and i'll see you in 4 days! :D

This came from the Hair Fair freebie box at the A.T.H. hair fair display..
It's inside the cake that's on top of the mushroom.

*mookalakaliki yaknowyawanalayme* (bad stab at Wayne's World humor)

I love that the entire outfit, besides the undies of course, is made out of prims. It has great detail and it even comes with a sexy little hula dance animation so you can show it off ;)

Hair Fair Challenge

Ok, so.. the the challenge of the moment was spawned by the hair fair. It's pretty simple, see how good you can look with no prim attachments. Sounds easy.. it's not! LOL Just ask Vi and Lala. They'll tell you how long I stood there changing clothes.. it wasn't pretty. Anyway.. I finally settled on this look. It's totally got a G.I. Jane feel to it, wouldn't you say?





What I'm wearing:

Jeune Top from comme il faut

System skirt from the Combat Cutie outfit *Alkaline Designs

Unisex Manties in Army from Pubes!

Skin by Blowpop! Caramel Rai in Nude w/ Freckles

The texture necklace is "Who's that Girl Key Necklace" from Jennyfur Peregrine. (The link to the store in her picks is no longer valid.)

The system sandals are quite old and have been in my inventory for a loooong time, they no longer say who the creator is lol If anyone knows, please let me know so I can give credit!


This challenge is actually quite fun but it also helps soooo much with the lag when attending packed events such as the hair fair! So play around and see what you can come up with. Even with all this, my ARC number was still only 154 which is completely in the green.
