Bad to the Bone

Last year I had the amazing opportunity to blog for a group raising funds to help pitbulls that needed rescuing. When I was asked to do it again, I had to…it’s such an awesome cause that is worth supporting. I also have the wonderful treat of again having help from Spikedwithfashion. The perks of having a very photogenic fiance. For all his info, and his take on the photo, please visit his blog in the link.

Rally to Rescue is once again giving us a chance to help make the difference in the lives of animals in need of rescue. The event runs from March 1-20 and has 35 shops participating with 100% of all sales being donated.

I got you babe

They say our love won’t pay the rent
Before it’s earned, our money’s all been spent
I guess that’s so, we don’t have a plot
But at least I’m sure of all the things we got

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here, we’ll just say life seems to take its own path when you think you have it figured out. Truth be told, I’d likely still be procrastinating about a blog post were it not for the fact someone very special decided to get into blogging, and asked me to help. So before I get into much more, check out Spike’s new blog here at Spikedwithfashion. He’ll be covering mens fashion in SL, and I can’t wait to see how his blog grows!

First, I want to say how sad I am that this will be the only joint blog of ours with Swag Bag items in it. While I understand the stresses of getting mens items for a monthly subscription, it was very disheartening to hear its run its course. As an avid shopper, this is a plea to all mens designers out there, PLEASE start making more available. There is the want, there is the market….the men of Second Life deserve great things too.

Second, I have learned today not to toss out old gacha you think you will never use…case in point, boxing gear….by the way if anyone needs backpacks or sports tops, let me know.

Now, all those fun things about me have changed, and I know I need to do an update, but here’s the quick rundown… Vista Bento hands, Catwa Catya Bento head, Maitreya Lara body, Dee Talez skin because ❤

Spike’s items are here

What I’m wearing:

Hair: Truth VIP February gift (get in that group!!)

Outfit: Khoi + Rep epiphany gacha @ Represent

Socks: Izzie’s tube socks

Shoes: Reign/Flite Tayler’s

My Fairytale

Now, you’re all looking at the picture and thinking this is going to be a mushy romantic post…and that might make a perfectly typical fairytale… but that wouldn’t be mine.

So let’s start it off…..

“Once upon a time there was a shopaholic girl who had an Oasis away from the uglies and drama that can sometimes be found in our pixel world.There were gachas, and shoes, blueberry booty’s and cupcakes….

It wasn’t all shopping with the girl, in an effort to bring beauty to the world, she started a blog. It was filled with things to enhance anyones life, and she was so proud of her efforts. Of course, the evils of the world were not willing to let the pretty lass spread such beauty and threw in challenges of things like a wicked thing called RL, dumb boys pretending to be men, they even stole her muse for a time. She battled it all, even took up a quest to enter the fabled halls of the famed Blueberry, proclaiming she would be back leading the world to beauty once more….

And then, the greatest challenge of all….

a full sim.

Events were missed, days blurred in the race against tier running out… she even wore the same shorts and tank top for 3 days!

Just as things were at their darkest, and the girl was struggling with the stress, the prims, the sheer size of it all…. a bright light appeared, it was Epiphany. In all its glowing wonderousness, the gacha, the cute, the shoes, the zombicorns, that renowned Blueberry booty with all sorts of magical Halloween delights.

She dusted off her trusty hud, donned her cloak of invisibility and with a prayer to the great power of Orryx, made it into the promised land.

Returning to her Oasis, she was swept into the arms of her King to enjoy a night of celebration.

And the girl was once again able to tell the world of wondrous things.

The End”

Ok, so I am still suffering with the effects of moving from a half sim to a whole (new) sim and having it open in 5 days. And I was feeling terribly guilty for saying I’m back to blogging and then vanish again….so a creative story seemed best.

The picture was taken in the almost finished Kawaiiland at the Oasis. There is a full sim to come explore and enjoy…so please do.

And now for the details

What I’m wearing :

Hair: Truth Sunday Hair ~ Epiphany

Shirt: Truth Sunday Sweater ~ Epiphany (off sim lm)

Panties: Truth Pig Undies ~ Epiphany

Eyes: [Buzz] Chromatic Eyes ~ Epiphany

Head: Catwa Amilie Exclisive

Ears: Swallow Shiny Ears

Body: Maitreya Lara

Skin: DeeTalez Amaya (Forest exclusive)

Also in photo:

Eye Candy: mine ❤ but he’s wearing, TMP body, *RE* sniper tags,Legal Insanity Logan pants @ Men’s Only Monthly (don’t know the shirt)

There might be a lil dust on the blog?

There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don’t let it fool ya about what’s inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It’s one of those things that gets sweeter with time

It’s been a while… again. My pixel life has a way of keeping me busy. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to blog, it’s more of a physics thing. You know an object in motion stays in motion, and object at rest stays at rest. (look at that a fashion blog with educational value! Newton’s first law of motion just in case you were wondering)

What prompted a restart of the blog posts? A few things…. my little corner of SL seems to be in that happy grove. I’ve gotten my muse back, and am feeling creative again (my sim has noticed that creativity) and there was this little mention of a certain designer looking for bloggers….how could I resist that temptation?

Blueberry, is by far one of my favorite designers. I don’t think there are many on the grid who haven’t heard of her “blueberry booty” and the way it transforms a nice booty into this amazing work of art (I know I’ve commented a few times about it in the past). The fit of her clothing is amazing. While I don’t have a slink body to say first hand it fits all the popular mesh bodies perfectly, I haven’t had an issue with either Belleza or Maitreya. The top I am wearing has become one of my favorites for that casual, comfy side of SL. I’ve paired it with shorts today, but it goes nicely with skirts, a few jeans, and a few bottoms from other designers as well (I know long tops are sometimes an issue when matching up)

You may also notice I look a lil different…. you can thank that bestie of mine for that.  After the Belleza update, I promised I would give the body another try…..I only wear Maitreya now when I really want to wear that outfit. The Belleza Isis has such nice curves to it, and that hud! If you haven’t tried it out yet.. go try Belleza….this is coming from a die hard Maitreya girl.

Still with me? Good.

I’ve been waitin’ all day…

When you gonna call
Don’t leave me brokenhearted
I’ve been waiting up
Let’s finish what we started, oh oh
I can’t seem to let you go

Ever have that one person that you wait for… and wait for…and wait for……?

Granted, most of it is my personality of not wanting to be like I’m a bother so I don’t get in there face and say ” A lil attention here please!” Still when you have a cute girl waiting….. you really need to smarten up before the cute girl does 😉

For now, retail therapy…. including trips to Migica (50% off summer sale!!!!)  N21, Tres Chic, and Shiny Shabby.

Just as a heads up, the capris I am wearing from Just Because are an N21 Exclusive, and they have a perfect fit. You don’t want to miss out on those.

What I’m wearing:

Magika – 01 – Summer

*Just BECAUSE* Jen Capris – N21Exclusive

REIGN.- WHATEVER HEELS- N21

Mimikri – Naomi Organza Crop Top blossom – Tres Chic

Decor ~ Zerkalo Sea Breeze gacha – Shiny Shabby

I’ll keep you up

I need her so bad,
Sometimes I feel like I can taste it
This evil romance
So good I never wanna waste it
I can’t trust my friends
‘Cause she’s what everybody chases
I know where she’s been
‘Cause it’s on everybody’s faces

So the week has been busy, and I am currently in the midst of that post Epiphany high where how much I spent during early access to the event hasn’t quite hit me yet…..it will be followed closely by the “damnit I missed that one!!” I also did a bit of a damnit I missed that one on a blog post too. Took the photo, had everything organized….then my graphics card and win 10 updated….and firestorm decided it no longer liked my graphics card, or maybe it’s jealous of my house…but it keeps crashing every time I try to be home. Thankfully it seems to like the rest of my sim, so I’ll just camp out there (not like I actually do much in my house… that may be another blog for another day..Bella’s non used house)

Anyhow, because of the whole thing, you are getting not one, but two photos and things to buy, and likely seeing more parts of me than normal in my posts (don’t worry, all the pixels that will have people gasping are covered)So without further ramblings…. get ready to go shopping

The week started off with goodies from The Forest and blogger packs from Marvelous Monthly.  I believe you can still get a key to the Forest (1000L group fee) and there are all sorts of amazing items waiting for you ! (including fatpacks of DeeTalz skin!!!!) Marvelous Monthly is still going strong, and we’ll just say I’m “fashionably ” late to the party? Both are events you’ll want to check out. The Livian bodysuit comes with a hud giving you a variety of transparent colors, and appliers for all bodies including system layers.

What I’m wearing:

Lavian&CO – Cover Me ~ Marvelous Monthly

[BREATHE]-Mandy Heels-The Forest

Exile:: Wicked Games

DeeTaleZ *Appliers* CATWA Head “Face Amaya” ~The Forest

Pose: BoS Tude ~ Marvelous Monthly

Romp has been missing in my life. Anyone who has been to my sim will undoubtedly found some of the elegantly kink items in my previous trips to the event, and their event this month is one not to miss. It even gave me a chance to wear those pointe slink feet!  Anachron’s Pointe Foot Trainers are a very lovely set of footwear that I think I will be finding excuses to wear….please note, you NEED slink pointe feet to wear them. I also have to mention the pose, because it is one of three very unique poses from Hopscotch. The human lamp includes RLV and 6 different poses for your sub, giving you a more enticing object to look at than just your ordinary lamp.

 

What I’m wearing:

Pumec ~Lucia Catwa (body appliers included) ~ FREE GIFT

S&P Ryan pink ~ Romp

S&P Diamond Pasties ~Gacha Guardians item

Anachron – Pointe Foot Trainers ~Romp

One more

“Something like a strong wind is coming over me
It’s got a hold of me, yeah
Thinking and doing things I shouldn’t be
I really shouldn’t be
Give it one more call
It’s one more “whatcha doin right now?”
It’s one more trip to my side of town and you walk right in
One more here we go again”

Rally to Rescue is in full swing now, and time for a few more goodies you can get for great deals, and do something good for those sweet pitbulls that need your help. I’m very pleased to see some of those big names in SL fashion helping out with the cause, and really happy to tell you about their items!

Blueberry has spoiled us with the very sexy Sabina dress, in a special fatpack….and it’s $400L. but before you stop reading now and tp over there just wait. Truth is also supporting Rally to Rescue with the Opal hair for only $200L (fatpack $500L). I am also really happy to be able to show off the Industrial Loft skybox from Unkindness (I’ve had a chance to blog their items a few times, and have always loved their things)

Anyhow… you have a few more days to get your items, and a few more days to go hang out at the Ghost Bully’s MC World and enjoy the events there… so … get shopping!!

I’m so over it

Cut my hair cause it reminded me of you
I know you like the long do
Had to switch up my attitude up
Thinkin’ of changin’ up how I ride
No more on the passenger side
Too bad you missed out on the way that I drive it

So life has strange ways of taking twists and turns you weren’t expecting. Not that it’s a bad thing, just unexpected.  Most of you know that I own Daddy’s Girl Oasis, and well I have totally revamped the place to be my own little world unto itself… I should never have the ability to play with half a sim…anyhow there is a reason for the shameless plug for my spot (yes you should come check it out, it’s amazing for photos) I’ve opened it up so that people now have access to another 1/4 section on the sim and to a really cool pose shop, »»─Provocative Designs─««. (might be bias, might have to do with her making a Bella pose, but they are still awesome) So you should come to the sim, have a tour around and yes, get some shopping done. I even have the invitation/hud giver to Rally to Rescue at the landing point.

In my last post I mentioned a bit about the event that starts on the 8th. And for those who didn’t pay attention. On July 8th there will be one hell of a party starting here. The event is to help rescue real life pitpulls from abuse & neglect.

July 8th

12am – Rally To Rescue Shopping Hud!
12pm – Joe Cocker Tribute Concert (street stage)
12pm – Cutest Real Life Pet Photo Contest Starts
2pm – Rob Zombie Tribute Concert (main stage)
4pm – Rally To Rescue Charity Rideout (all are welcome!)

And now for another sweet preview of what’s for offer on that shopping hud.  Souled Out has the outfit I’m wearing in 3 color options. It includes Maitreya, Belleza (all shapes) and both Slink, as well as standard mesh sizing. The booty shorts are very attention grabbing…and I got mad compliments while wearing the outfit around yesterday….and she put it out for sale early! It’s always awesome to have something earlier than every other person on the grid 😉 Seriously sexy/cute outfit no matter which of the three you pick…or be smart, get them all and have way more options!

I’m the only one

But I’m the only one
Who’ll walk across the fire for you
I’m the only one
Who’ll drown in my desire for you
It’s only fear that makes you run
The demons that you’re hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I’m the only one

In June I received this notecard from someone I never met, asking me if I would like to blog for an event in July. I said yes for a few reasons, the main one being the event is for something very awesome…. and because I can’t say it better, here’s what the organizers have said.

The Ghost Bullys have chosen to be a voice for Pit Bulls and their persecution, but we believe it is our moral responsibility to protect and improve the lives of ALL abused, abandoned, and homeless animals. Rescues are often these animals, last and only hope.

100% of our collected donations goes directly for the care of animals at non-profit, no-kill, volunteer rescue organizations.

I’m a huge animal lover, will even admit I like most of them more than I do a good portion of humans. So the chance to be a part of something like this was one opportunity I couldn’t say no to. Rally to the Rescue Runs from July 8th to 12th, and I’ll be posting more info in the next blogs too, because they have rides, concerts, contests, and a shopping hud (link to the free hud on mp) with some of the most awesome designers in Second Life giving their support!

My outfit is from Pretty Sexy Things, and I have to say I’m loving the top. Always been a fan of knotted tshirts, and this one is perfect. The jeans have the distressed rips, and a a few cute patches to let everyone know how much you love your dog…..and the booty.No you aren’t getting a rear view of the jeans…but lets just say I had more than a couple positive comments about it.

The top and jeans are in standard mesh as well as Slink (yes hourglass too), Belleza (all shapes) and Maitreya. She has you covered no matter what body you want to wear.

And…. you might be late for it (we can hope they were left out still) but my hair and skin are both from this weeks Fifty Linden Friday. Belleza skin applier for Catwa, and Exile’s hair. I’d go check just to see if you can still get them.
