"Grand Illusion..."
...living within my escape.
Thursday, October 22, 2009

Its been an incredibly long time since I was able to run around and get into trouble in SL with Kerra, but today was the great exception. She put up with my random, and long, AFK's and even let me snap a picture of her in ...ok well, you will see. SySy's released some amazing new pieces and they are so perfect for fall I couldn't resist wandering around in them today. I think my favorite part are these pants, the prims for the bottom and the belt are absolutely amazing. The top is fabulous as well and I cannot get over how comfortable this look...looks. Hey, I'm still sick, cut me some slack!

I really wanted to find some business environment, or a city area, or...something. We ended up over at Princeton University (which I actually enjoyed wandering around) and snapped a couple of pictures. I could have done better, I admit it, but cold+flu+pictures in sl=well, you can see the results. I also didn't modify them as much as I normally do because I really wanted the details of the outfit to stand out on their own and my typical tweaking makes things like this too dark. I slipped on a pair of Maitreya shoes, purchased a clutch bag on xstreet from Ariana's Trinkets, left my hair as it was and even slipped on some old bangles I've had in my inventory for so long the store that sold them is gone.

We kicked back and chatted for a while, I put up with...whatever that is she is wearing, until she finally changed. She looked much better later but I forgot to take another picture! Then she jumps up, proclaims she is going to New York and poofs. Because she adores me and lets me have full rights, I mapped her funky butt! We did not end up in New York, but ran (literally) around some sim that had women on leashes or in a cage in random corners of the builds. Thats the last time I let her lead the way...tomorrow its my turn by golly!

On the RL front, I am still sick, this is getting old really fast and I am tired of being sick but I do at least feel partially human today. Why am I feeling human? I have good reason to! My youngest turns 1 today. Ok, it kind of makes me cry, this year went by really fast but wow, she has grown so much and is so amazing. Yes, I am biased, but seriously I adore my kids and the fact that this is our last 'first birthday' is just crazy. When did time go by? I mean really, they were all just 1 just...yesterday? I will share pictures of the messy face tomorrow, I hope. I'm looking forward to making her treats with her siblings here as soon as they get home...so off to prepare the kitchen. You know...for the insanity. Halp!

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.
