Maitreya 2-26-09

I'm pretty sure many of us will go out and make purchases only to organize the item and never see it again. This tends to happen to me with hair. I love the demo, buy the hair, fit it just right, and then forget about it completely, or, worse...no longer like the hair when attempting to fit it in with an outfit. Recently I have been involved in a long debate with myself about the Maitreya hairs and finally, happily, settled on the Piper style. I still feel like I am walking around Second Life like a bobble head from a dash board, so hairs that are on the smaller side, flatter or more smooth for example, never seem to compliment my features at all. This one, does.

What I didn't expect was to go browsing around and find more items to purchase in their clothing department. Even more unexpected are the lengths they have gone to make sure you can wear some of their clothing, by including an AO! Who else does this? I will gleefully be a regular customer, as this is one of my biggest issues with clothing lately. An unfriendly AO! I have fallen in love with this shirt by Maitreya and paired it with a skirt and scarf from them as well. I love it, period. Nuff said.

Grand Illusion...
...behind the mask!

Grand Illusion, to me, is a great many things. A place to share my adventures within the grandest illusion I know, Second Life. Exploration, friends and loved ones and best of all, fashion and the addiction that is, shopping! I often spend most of my time in SL working these days, but I still find time for the fashion, for decorating and landscaping and the pure obsessive nature of it all.
