"Grand Illusion..."
...living within my escape.
Friday, October 16, 2009

This isn't exactly what I had planned out for my 100th blog post, but if I keep putting it off until I did what I had in mind it would simply never be published. Rather than let the blog die, yet, I decided to hop in world and do a few shots and just get the post out there. Hope you like the pieces I have chosen for it! Some are pieces from today's 50L Friday, some are pieces I have had for a while, and some...well I'm not even sure when I got some.

100th Blog Post

I think I have said it about a gabillion times the last few weeks, but I still don't like orange on me that much. Hence the lack of Halloween or Harvest type looks! This, however, works well enough for me. The Moon is a piece you can actually wear form Random Kitten (found in the gatcha machine) and it attaches perfectly. After taking off your old ao it will have you floating around on it all day swinging and kicking your legs, so cute! The top was picked up from Malt and as harvesty colored as I am going to get me thinks. The pants are from the 50L Friday selections from Fishy Strawberry. Shoes by Dilly Dolls, an old time favorite of mine from right about the time the grid went crazy with flats.

This beautiful dress is one of a handful of pieces I picked up from SySy's a couple of days ago. I have always been a romantic, I suppose what woman isn't, and love long flowing gowns. Who ever has a need for them though? I am completely using the excuse of 'it has to be blogged' for buying this and I don't care if it sits in my inventory never used again. Maybe I will just wander around the gardens in it, like I did for these shots. Who would know! Well, except for the fact that I just told you. Its a good way to get my fill of romance, even if I have nowhere to go. The hair is by Truth, latest release from today as a matter of fact and the skin is my typical Belleza.

Last, but certainly far from least, is this 50L Friday dress by Artilleri! I have been reminding myself to stop by and get one of these dresses, they just made it that much easier. Worn with a Truth hair and flats by 50 Flats, I wandered over to the furniture area on the Artilleri sim and thought it was the perfect place to snap a pic! I don't have space for this kitchen set, but I think its adorable for you rockabilly and retro lovers. I absolutely love it, all of it and there is so much more to look at on the sim. Go on, visit it, you have time!

100th Blog Post

The way I write these things lately you would think I was getting paid to do them, but nope. Not a bit, matter of fact about 99% of what I blog is things I have either had or things I purchase. Once in a while a gift will pop in there, but most of the time I just dive into my inventory head first and drag out what I think will work together. I really need to step it up and do it more often, but I have a feeling lots more will change first before I do. I don't always handle change well, so if I am really quiet for a while don't be surprised. Then again, I might surprise even myself and flood you with more than one LOTD post just to keep myself busy! Who knows...we will see, won't we? Its Friday people, go out, have fun, laugh, live...we may be enjoying a Second Life here but the truth of the matter is you only get one. One. Love it for what it is, even if it has its moments. Wishing you each a weekend filled with only amazing moments....and much more to write about.

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.
