My Virtual Home

My Virtual Home

I wanted to share with you a few pictures of my gorgeous home.

I think I’ve mentioned before but I rent with Kamrain properties; and they really do have a lot to offer:) You can rent some amazing houses in all kinds of styles and landscapes, as well as some really funky skyboxes.

I think people worry that renting limits your options for decorating and making the home your own, but just like in real life, that’s not necessarily the case, as I hope the following pictures will prove:)

If you’re interested in learning more about Kamrain, there’s a link in the right-hand sidebar for you to follow…

Thinking outside the box…

Thinking outside the box…

..sometimes you just have to try something different. (Insert your own smutty joke here.)

I’m a bob kinda gal, as most of you are aware. I like my hair long on occasion, and short very infrequently..BUT most of the time I love my bobs ( Do not even get me started on the perfect bob that Truth put out and I managed to miss in October (It was called ‘Hadley’, if you got it you’re a git. Yes, I’m still hurting about missing that one!) However, when I saw ‘Lori’ there was something about the style that meant I had to try it.

And I’m super pleased with the result.  It lends itself really well to the boho vibe, yet if you were to purchase it in black would be without a doubt the most uber Goth-style on the grid at the moment. (There’s a hit of Madonna in her ‘Frozen’ guise about it..) It’s very much statement hair, and you can dress up/down as you like, but I suggest delicate prints or gently textured plain to go with this, rather than detract from the total awesome of the hair.

I’ve teamed it with an oversized tee from JANE (yes, Jane again…I know, but it fits so well and the ribbing effect is awesome) as well as some stockings that were a gift from the MIEL group aeons ago, and some boots (also from Miel) that weren’t. Last but not least throw in a CURIO skin ( From the ‘Pout’ collection; one of a number of skin collections that are reduced to L$1500 at ‘Truth’ district) and a couple of great poses from GAZE and you’re done. Awesomely simple:)

Freebie Mesh Goodness from Jane and Cold Logic

Freebie Mesh Goodness from Jane and Cold Logic

So, any luck getting into March Mesh Madness 2012?  Nah, me neither..which is doing my ‘ead in a wee bit because it features twenty, yes, TWENTY (drool!) of the finest mesh magic-makers on the grid today and promises to be an absolute joy to behold. If I could only blinking well get in. Each time I try the region is full, and I fear it’s going to remain that way all weekend.  It won’t help you in your suffering if I tell you that there promises to be a vast array of mesh only hair, shoes, accessories, clothing, and home furnishings on sale; but I can offer you a wee smidgen of comfort in some fine freebies that are currently doing the rounds.

First up, Jane has sent out this glorious frock to her subscribo group members. It’s called ‘Grace’ and is a beautifully simple frock that you can accessorise into splendidity! ( I think I just made a word up there; go me!). Think scarves, jackets, leggings; the possibilities for dressing up this baby are endless, and Janie Marlowe has been even more generous by sending three colours of the gift to members; Apricot, Khaki and Navy, so there’s a colour scheme to fit every occasion.  I chose navy to illustrate how fab this gift is:

Lush isn’t it? And as if that isn’t enough to moisten yourself over, well you remember the freebie I mentioned was available at Cold Logic? It’s a winter dress, and it’s rather glorious as you can see below:

Again, you get three colours in your gift; Stone, Ruby and Clay. I’m feeling a tad fiery so I just went for the Ruby shade, and it’s lovely isn’t it?

Last up, I also mentioned earlier that there’s a hunt taking place in the Cold Logic store, and the gift is easy to find and well worth your time too.  It’s a spiffing top with fabulous shaping to the neckline, waist and cuffs.

I love how the creasing gives it a real authentic flair..great isn’t it? And again, you get three shades in your gift; black, red and navy. So, there you have it, more than enough treasures to keep you going until you can get into March Mesh Madness! (I wouldn’t bother at the moment though, I’ve just checked the map again..green dot city.  BAH HUMBUG!)

 

Note: I’m going to try and NOT blog Jane and Cold Logic for at least a few days now..I seem to have become a tad obsessed! 

 

 

Philly’s Bar GRAND OPENING on Saturday 3rd March!!

Philly’s Bar GRAND OPENING on Saturday 3rd March!!

 

I miss the Three Lions; the first pub I ever visited in Second Life.  I’ve talked about 3L many, many times on these pages, but it was home to some amazing people that I have become lucky enough to call friends. I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently; wondering if the reason I haven’t been frequenting SL so much these days is because Three Lions, and subsequently The Crown and Pearl, aren’t around anymore, and then I discovered Phil Plasma is opening a bar again and I could have jumped for virtual joy!  If that’s not fate then I don’t know what is!

That’s right, the original team behind the Three Lions is back, and the opening party is this Saturday. The best bit is that it’s going to feature some of the original DJ line-up, as well as live acts and this weekend promises to be a corker. Thumper Boucher, who I always threw my panties at back in the day is the first live guest and he is awesome.  He’s one of the most accomplished musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing in-world and his gigs are nothing short of splendid, so if you’re free on Saturday YOU MUST come to the grand opening night at Philly’s Bar in Knightsbridge.

It promises to be a packed evening as well: The fun begins at 3am with Mia Deluca, followed by Arti Yamabushi. Following Arti is the original 3L barmaid and the first Neko I ever saw in Second Life, the yummy Kendra Fallon. At 1pm Thumper ( and my underwear) hits the stage, and the evening is brought to a close (probably a riotous one as well) by the infamous Mike Mission. Will he pass out drunk at the decks? I ruddy well hope so:))

I honestly cannot tell you how excited I am about the opening of this bar and so look forward to spending some time with old friends, and new. Come along and join the fun, it promises to be amazeballs!
