Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Well, the weekend is just about up, so happy Memorial Day! If you have tomorrow off, I envy you! However, you probably deserve it more than I do. 😉

Designer Showcase May 2014

By way, Designer Showcase‘s round ends early this month, so tomorrow is your last chance to find any deals. Artizana’s Aibrean in Coastful is such a cheerful outfit. The ruffle crop top is my favorite. I can only wear such tops in SL because my RL involves covering my belly. I can only suck in so long.

I accessorized with Lindy’s Chelsea wedges and Elemental’s Carinna’s Necklace and Earrings, which are also available at Designer Showcase. All deals 100L or less! Click here for a lift.

It’s not me, it’s you.

Have you ever dodged someone you don’t want to talk to? It’s relatively easy to mute someone in SL, but sometimes there is more than a WiFi (fleeting) connection and one develops a friendship type of relationship, so real life numbers and emails are exchanged…you know the drill. I haven’t spent much time inworld, and sometimes I do have the time, but I don’t have the desire to chat. My real friends know this and leave me alone with my nerdy blogging ways, but some, in particular, try and make me feel bad.

Don’t. Please? Lol. Okay, drama over! However, I really do mean it. That time has passed.

Bullying Stops Here

Pink Shirt Day started on February 26. Have you raised your voice? I don’t know about you, but I was semi bullied by my next door neighbor when I was 7-12 years old. Luckily, she didn’t torment me as maliciously as some kids do nowadays, but she was definitely intimidating because she would walk behind me, with her friend, and make all kinds of remarks.

Picture this. In real life, I’m super short, and I’ve worn glasses since I was five year old. I was like a walking cliche of the perfect kid to pick on. Luckily, and it’s a strange lucky, my family didn’t have a home computer until I was in high school. Because now social media allows teens to target and bully from afar, and with that convenience comes double the impact to cause harm.

If you want to show your support against bullying, stop by PurpleMoon and make a donation in exchange for a shirt.

Net proceeds from Pink Shirt Day activities and t-shirt sales benefit the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of Boys & Girls Clubs Anti-Bullying programs. All transactions will be published at http://purplemooncreations.blogspot.com/p/pink-shirt-day-2014.html.

A minimum donation of 10L is required,  but higher amounts are definitely appreciated.

February Stars

While I can appreciate the day after Valentine’s day (discounted chocolate), I’ve never been a fan of February. It’s just so short! 

Image

By the way, Designer’s Showcase’s February collection is about to make its exit, so if you haven’t had a chance to stop by….why not drop in? All designers feature items for 100L or less so you may find a treat or two or three or ten.

Designer Showcase’s February round is still alive and well. Have you had a chance to pop on over?  Glitter’s Lord Mesh is a partial mesh ensemble. My avi is one of those super tall avatars*, so it may just be me, but the alpha took away my tummy. I’m half machine, so it kind of works 😉

Designer Showcase in Second Life

Designer Showcase is still kicking, but I’m about to drop! Just remember that it’s never too late or too early to shop.

Just a minute

You know how some people say “in a New York minute?” I would never make it. Lately, I run on two speeds and that’s slow and stop. Case in point, Sascha’s New York ensemble is new, but not as new as it was since I got it. The mesh jacket comes in two version: one has a fur collar and the other does not. Also, New York has a nice set of system pants to go with it, but I paired the jacket with another one of Sascha’s pieces (Iggy pants) because I love their textures together.

In a New York minute

Make the most out of your time, and see what’s new at Sascha’s Designs! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.

“ignite the sky and let it shine”

I can’t wait for 2014! I always get soooo excited about the new year because I think out with the old and in with the new. Course, a few days after the new year, I get awfully moody because I tend to break my new year’s resolutions by January 2nd.

What are your plans for the new year? Celebrate it in style with PurpleMoon, this year’s Avi’s Choice for favorite female fashion designer. A little bit of sparkle goes a long way, and PurpleMoon’s Dresha top comes with quite a few sequin tones via the color change hud.

Image

In fact, the Dresha blazer and pants are color or pattern changeable using huds too. Okay, over and out.  It’s my first Las Vegas New Year’s celebration, so I’m going to ring in the new year under the fireworks. See you in 2014!

Have a safe and happy new year’s celebration!

And may the odds be ever in your favor…

Yes, I saw Catching Fire! It inspired me to recreate my own Arcade Games. As an Arcade addict, I can get pretty mean when I want something. It costs too….but so much fun!
