How to Train Your Raptor

Second Life is 12 years old! Can you believe it? While the celebratory events are over, the sims are open until July 4. There are some beautiful exhibits and the stages are always particularly fun to explore. What secret crooks and crannies will you find?

Designer Showcase July 2015

I found a raptor. Much like Jurassic World, this raptor appears to have socialization skills and subsequently is trainable lol. I really did enjoy movie. It’s good campy fun, but the Party Raptor was a limited edition gift! I found it at the celebration while roaming around last week, but you can always try Marketplace!

Now, while all good things must come to an end, others will take their place. Designer Showcase‘s, a monthly fashion event, July Round is open. Spend your Friday shopping and exploring!

“Cherry lips, crystal skies.”

Summer is my favorite season for the colors alone, and Designer Showcase’s June round is filled with summertime love.

Through my eyes I see the past

Don’t you love May? I do because it’s like half summer and half spring, at least in my neck of the woods. We have the summer time heat, but the springtime showers.

Speaking of May, Designer Showcase’s May round is alive and kicking. Designer Showcase features many talented designers across the grid. Case in point, Entice has a jumpsuit, aptly called “Sweetness Follows,” for sale at Designer Showcase.

Incidentally, Entice is a collaboration of Second Life designers Jolene Carami and Kira Paderborn and they are also participating in the upcoming Penumbra Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015.

You’ll find discount prices and some exclusive pieces at Designer Showcase, so click here and take a peek.

I have to keep telling myself, if things went back to normal, I wouldn’t have what I wanted right now. Oh, life lessons.

In like a lamb (lion)

In my personal life, March came in like a lion, so I hope it goes out like a lamb. My boyfriend turned fiancé is having a couple of issues. Truthfully, they are due to me, so I shouldn’t complain. 😦

His attitude, much like the weather, affects my moods. However, the beginning of March also brought Designer Showcase‘s newest range of designer goods. Mood back up. 🙂

This round ends March 26, so plenty of time to find killer deals. Click Designer Showcase for your lift!

Don’t let the sun go down on me

I’m so dramatic. Actually, I’m in a great mood! I don’t have many real life tattoos, okay I have four small tatts. The largest is one line of Latin between my shoulder blades. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, so I can’t remember exactly how it is written, but it’s roughly translated into in darkness, there is light. 

Don't let the sun go down on me

That saying always cheers me up! Shopping cheers me up too. Designer Showcase‘s January round will be gone on the 26th, so if you haven’t been there yet, head on down!

Ladies who lunch and wear white after Labor Day

While the LBD is timeless, it can get a little boring, so I love to wear white after Labor Day. Again, I’ve always lived in dry and hot climates so I don’t have to worry about really cold weather. Although I think a snowy white coat would be gorgeous! Ah well, I’ll have to stick to my winter going out staple: the LWD.

Designer’s Showcase’s October round ends tonight! If you love LWDs as well, better get a move on. If you don’t, you’ll find both items above in other colors or print. Cheers!

It’s really over

Summer is my favorite season! True, it’s brutally hot in Nevada, but I still love the idea of summer barbeques, swimming, and pool parties. I’m gonna miss you summer! I suppose fall is technically here, but mind you, I’m still dealing with 90 degree + weather, so forgive my fashion snafu.

Goodbye Summer Sad Panda Face

Designer Showcase’s September round, has a little bit of this and a little bit of that, if you are still prone to summer wear, but understand the fall fashion season has hit. My post is my last ode to true summertime fun and fashion. Sniff.
