Lighthouse

Apparently my blogging experience is going to come out weekly, though I do try and get in to blog a few times a week. Those attempts are often thwarted by seductions of procrastination by my friends, and while I love them to death it appears that 8am is now my official blog time, on Fridays, since they are sleeping. Of course, plurk is still open, but shh, I am allowed one mild distraction!

Earlier in the week I made a stop over at Naive to pick up the 'Karma Whore' shirt I had seen in a few different places and paused to do a bit of shopping. I am not exactly sure why, but up until now I have very rarely worn shorts in SL. Maybe its the way the mesh tugs at the material on the inner thighs, or the fact that I actually don't have many pairs of shorts to begin with. So I decided to snag a pair and couldn't resist this t-shirt either. Sorry, my Limited Time Offer isn't a blog notice about a sale, just the awesome shirt. I was still wearing it while attempting to clean up my inventory, another easily procrastinated event, when I tossed on this long sleeved sweater by Twosome and just loved the way it looked. I need to go sock shopping for this spring and summer, but I managed to find these by Ducknipple and even wore my new shoes by UBU. I was a bit shocked to find I had absolutely no shoes to go with outfits like these and went out right away to get the Drunks by UBU, they have about a million different ways you can texture and color them, a must have as far as I am concerned.

The furniture included in the above two shots was sent to me by a designer of GREENE concept and I love the pieces I received, even though I haven't had a chance to do pictures with all of them. Each couch cushion or chair, comes with multiple textures and colors for you to fit it into your decor, or for a bit of variety. Texture changes are a snap with the drop down menu and each piece also comes with multiple poses. I hope to include another piece in an upcoming blog post as well. If you are looking for versatile furniture, be sure to give them a visit in your shopping adventures. The pose in my final picture here is from Diesel Works, always worth a visit when hunting down the perfect pose.

By now everyone on my plurklist, at least, knows how excited I have been about being able to move my home and landscaping adventures to a new sim with a new dear friend. It should be no surprise when I feature the land in most of my pictures, keeps me from lingering on other peoples sims while half afk or knee deep in inventory cleansing. Every picture in todays entry is on Waffle island, changes being made constantly, partially by me. I've always enjoyed having a lot of land to play with and my new landlord is absolutely awesome, letting me play and tweak things a bit. My neighbors though, will have to keep an eye on them. Trouble makers, every single one!

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.
