“With the blink of an eye, [I] finally see the light…”

Posted on July 2, 2014 by laylahlecker

The scent of honeysuckles reminds me of home. If you didn’t know, honeysuckles grow as a vine. Or maybe a certain variety does? I don’t have a green thumb. However, I recall them climbing my childhood home. I’ll be back in Albuquerque in a couple of weeks. I haven’t been home since November 2013, and maybe that isn’t too long for some, but what can I say, I’m a hometown girl and away from my roots as I work in Sin City (aka Las Vegas). Prism Designs‘ Lua in Honeysuckle reminded me of home if only for the color’s name.

Honestly, I’m flying back home because doctors believe my dad may have Parkinson’s Disease. I just realized this now, but Prism Designs actually has a limited edition dress and half of its proceeds will go towards research for Parkinson’s Disease. Incidentally, it is not a limited edition version of what I am wearing in the picture. I just forget to copy my SLurls, so I hit up blogs to find them. Subsequently, I found out Prisms Designs supported the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

That’s just so cool. I had to mention. I also saw the light. I don’t necessarily need a reason to go home. There is no shame in adults missing their moms and dads!

How do you picture the future of SL? If you say sky high buildings and high heel wedges, we are on the same page!

In honor of SL11B, johannes1977 reveals the Tribute City-Black Eagle Rock Club always moves and never stops. While the events are done, all of the sims are open for your viewing pleasure, so check out what may be Second Life’s future. At dusk, the tall, moving buildings have an ethereal glow.

In crisp daylight, the build offers a magnetic background for pictures. Really, it was almost mesmerizing to watch the buildings rotate.

If you need a little relaxation, I highly recommend you visit it. The sims close on July 5th, so you have plenty of time!

Now about my sky high wedges, if you are looking for a traditional pair, Styles by Danielle’s mesh Vista Wedges come in rigged and non-rigged versions. The HUD gives you 8 skin bases, with a color mixture, 3 platform textures, 15 nail textures, and the choice of gold or silver metal. You also have 11 colors to choose from. I am embracing the season before Labor Day and running around in the white version.

Are you up for a challenge?

No? Hey. I can’t believe you gave up that easy! Come on…everyone loves a selfie right? As many of you know, it’s Second Life’s 11th birthday! While the celebration started on the 22nd, the party is still kicking until June 29th. Doc Gascoigne wants to see your faces amongst the birthday celebration! Now, taking the perfect selfie is not rocket science, but I always say go high! Camera angle high that is.

When you have your camera above your head, it slims the face. Or, perhaps my real life face is too round. At any rate, the angle works for me.

Take up Doc’s challenge okay? This year, SL’s birthday theme is the future. How do you envision SL’s future? If you can’t picture it yourself, come to the celebration. So many beautiful builds and you can take the perfect selfie while you’re there! Share your SL11b selfies with SL11B’s official Flickr.

I snapped my selfie at one of the starting points, so click invite and celebrate SL’s b-day! Have fun!
