"Grand Illusion..."

The fact that I shopped again is completely not my fault. When someone hands you lindens and its 50L Friday, its rather hard to resist. I only got a few things, not enough to completely toss my inventory count back to 42k.... and I ended up with this look because of it so it couldn't be all that bad now, could it? I've shopped at So Many Styles before and have a good gathering of their items already, but I had to pick up this top while I was there for the 50L Friday item. For some reason I have always strayed away from browns, but lately they have just been my preference. Paired with these great pants by Ty Zvezda and my (pulled from inventory I swear) Tesla boots, I think the top is perfect. Like many, I couldn't resist at least one of the new hairs by Truth and switched to a different make up from the Belleza fat pack I have been favoring. It took me a while to find something I was happy with, being accessory deprived, but this necklace from LeLutka is fantastic! Using a pose from LAP's 50L Friday bundle, I ended up with the above shot and am happy enough with it. Obviously, since I stayed in the same outfit until today to do a blog post!

Everything has been rather quiet on this side of the grid lately. I see dozens of plurks about drama, people in down moods because of the things going on and I am blissfully ignorant at the moment as to the current shenanigans. I did happen to notice a few other updates while browsing the feeds this week and had a lingering thought or two I kept meaning to jot out. Its actually interesting, how some people make these huge proclamations about how Karma is and how everyone gets what they deserve. Of course, they always make these declarations while shouting out to the world how they have been wronged and the person who has wronged them should die in a fire, or some such thing. These same people, when Karma comes knocking at their door, will sit and just shrug it off. Its so easy to tell other people they are getting what they deserve, but when its you dealing with a few of life's low points?

I could ramble on and on, and almost started to when I realized why bother? Deep down we all know what we do or do not deserve, and we will either sit back and wait for life to hand it to us or get off our duffs and go grab life by the balls and live it for all its worth. I've come to the conclusion that I need to finish what I started, with rearranging my life and cleaning out the toxic portions of it. Life is amazing, I am surrounded by fabulous people, and I fully intend on keeping it that way. Its not always easy to only keep people that are beneficial to your life around you, sometimes a stray may sneak in but now? I'm learning, every day. Bring me down in the slightest or even hint towards causing problems and you can be removed. Its that simple. Life is far too short and far to delightful to have its finest moments stolen by people and their...well, their karma. The only karma I need to deal with is plurk karma, and let me tell you...that karma is easy to manipulate!

Hope you had a great weekend, SLers, and I am looking forward to an extremely productive week coming up. Will be a few blog posts, without a doubt, as I play in my inventory. I know, that's what I have been talking about a lot here but darn it all it has been a ton of fun so far! I have my ups and downs too but over all I am really enjoying my time on and the friends I am getting to spend time with. Don't even get me started on the fantastic amount of new friends I have been making! Here is to SL, the addiction and how it keeps sucking me back in...have an amazing evening all. I know I will!

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.
