And the fever began to spread

(Listen)

Hi my darlings!

I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I last blogged; I got a new job in RL and it has kept me insanely busy and insanely exhausted.  I am now a cosmetics manager at a Nordstrom here in Cali where I live (if any of you live in SoCal & want to come visit me leave comments below, ha-ha!) and the hours are crazy.  My commute is crazy.  And my need to sleep is also crazy, so I’ve been unmotivated and just not on SL as much.

My friend Jack, however, convinced me that it was worth logging in to get the newest lamb hair which I’m sure a lot of you have already seen, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint.  In addition, Suicidal Unborn released a new top today that I absolutely am in love with, so I paired the two with some fun goodies that I hope you’ll all enjoy!

Also, today is both Dom’s bday in RL as well as Acacia’s, so since I love them both and have featured them both innn the blog,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD GEEZERS!
Love you both xoxo

I feel my pulse working overtime

(Listen)

Hello lovelies!

Yes, I did it again.  I went back to culture shock and bought even more shit.  I really couldn’t help myself, and thus I decided to blog it for you to see what got me so excited!

Atomic has released some clothes.  It still boggles my mind that Ms. Graves has two separate stores.  Illusory and Atomic are both so amazing in their separate ways, but the creativity and craftsmanship is evident in both.  At any rate, I paired it with some old stuff I found in my inventory and hope you all enjoy.

Please forgive that I forgot to take these pictures in a crazy high resolution; so they don’t get overly large like they typically do.  I was too lazy to retake them

Can’t no preacher man save my soul

(Listen)

Hi darlings! Ohhh let’s see what I have for you today… I don’t remember exactly when it was that I discovered ISON.  I think it was back during the vintage fair when I found his leather leggings and fell in love.  Since then, I have been an avid admirer of Harry Hyx’s work & creations.  I have yet to find something at ISON that I don’t like.  At any rate, just for the hell of it, I went back to culture shock after it opened (despite having been an invited blogger and seeing a lot of the vendors before it was open) because I hadn’t had the opportunity to see ISON before it opened, and I fell in love.

So yeah, today is mostly about ISON.  I hope you all enjoy his new stuff as much as I do!  I paired it with a tattoo from one of my very best friend’s new store, Lue Moonshadow’s Brat Inc, and the newest hair from Truth!

If the right one came along

(Listen)

Hi lovebugs!

I think I’m a bit culture shocked out… are you?  So today I have a few things that are new, and a few things not so new, that I hope you will all enjoy.

I finally made it over to the Sent to Destroy event, and all I can say is WOW.  Lots of new goodies that are spectacular and if I had more Linden I would’ve bought the place out in its entirety.  Even the men’s side.  Seriously.

At any rate, I don’t want to ramble today so I’ll get on with the picture & details for you

You and I’ll be safe and sound

Hello my little sweet peas!

Today I have a special guest blogging with me!  I decided to display some couples’ poses.  Specifically, two poses from Culture Shock 2012, as well as the debut of a pose from Mandyleigh Sweetwater’s Vanilla Poses.  I have been meaning to blog Mandy’s poses for literally months, but my guest blogger was being a tit about it and he took forever to come around and let me snap him.

If you know me I’m sure you can guess who he is   I asked Dominic Darkmatter (my bubs!) to blog them with me.  He’s a pretty busy guy most of the time since he owns The Fallen sim where I (and a gazillion other people, for that matter), RP, and doesn’t usually have the time to stand still and pose for me.

So thank you, Mandy, for your -extreme- patience!

Please keep in mind, dear readers, that none of these photos were edited in any way except for cropping & the adding of background shadows to the 1st & 3rd pics.  I wanted to show the poses off without manipulating too much so that you’d see them in their simplest forms!  I hope you all enjoy!

I know we’re lost but soon we’ll be found

(Listen)

Hello hello chickadees!  I have some very exciting news for you!  I was invited to blog Culture Shock 2012 and give you a sneak peak at some of the goodies that you’ll be able to pick up!  This is the second year of Culture Shock, a CHIC Management event sponsored by MODAVIA Productions with proceeds going to Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders).  Last year, over $1 million linden was raised!

Every store has a mandatory participation of one NEW and EXCLUSIVE (for the duration of the event) item that gives 50 – 100% of the profits to the charity!

Culture Shock will be up and running May 4th through May 26th.  Please keep in mind that there is a script gate at the landing point.  Only 50 scripts or less must be worn in order to enter the event to help reduce lag.

Thank you to Keira Seerose, Anyalia Pearl, Kristy Seerose, and Prue Genira for all of your work for this event and charity!

I cannot wait to show you all what I found at culture shock!  Since I have so many different goodies for you, it will be spread among a few posts, with two looks per post.  Have fun and I hope you all enjoy!
