"Grand Illusion..."
...living within my escape.
Thursday, October 8, 2009


As I was getting ready to start this post I noticed I am fast approaching my 100th blog entry for GI (this isn't including older posts, of course, on my first blog). I'm hoping to do something really special for the occasion, but today is just another good ole look of the day for you. Most of us know about Pixel Dolls (previously blogged, so you better know about them!) but some only think they are good for those amazing sales. Not so! I went and picked up this 'Bella' gown today and instantly fell in love with it. Long dresses are more 'me' than the super short ones, and this one is beautiful. The skirt is actually very sheer and the entire look is ultra sexy. You don't have to wear a micro mini to be alluring, I say.

I adore the neck piece, which comes with a couple of color options. Since I am accessory deprived, having a piece like this to include with an outfit just makes my day so much easier. The detailing of lace along the sleeves and bodice is simply amazing and I could sit and stare at this dress for hours! I took myself on over to the PAX sim (if you have yet to visit them, please do so, photo ops abound) and am wearing an older Magika hair to complete the look.

For those wondering how the inventory reduction and cleaning has gone lately, well stop it. Just stop all the pressure! I can't take it! Well, mainly because my inventory has gone up to almost 43k since I started the entire process. I haven't even unpacked much, that is all because certain stores are having these certain sales and I am a sucker for 50L goodness! I need help, I admit it, I cant stop the inventory expansion. Even better is I took over 400 images and tossed them into an organizer, and its still up that high. I swear, I don't recall shopping that much, probably because my linden balance barely took a hit at said sales. So, designers with your fancy smancy sales, I blame you. Yes, its all your fault. Don't you dare stop!

Off for a day of RL cleaning and such, my inventory count here is going up as well and I swear I don't RL shop like I SL shop. Heaven help my poor house if I did. After five long days without Sands I was so excited and lucky to get three full days of him home, so my cleaning got a wee bit neglected. See how I did that? Blamed him for that too, nothing is my fault I swear. Ok, its all my fault, but I have excuses...or I can make something up in a heart beat! Its amazing how fast three days can go though, when you are spending them with someone you love. So, here is me trying to make up for a lack of bloggage the last couple of days, as well as the rambling! Didja get your fill?

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.
