"Grand Illusion..."
...living within my escape.
Monday, November 30, 2009

I discovered, not all to long ago, that while I was always had a handle on shopping for clothing and hair, I had slacked off big time in the shoe, accessory and even skin department. Skins are expensive, so I have only been very slowly increasing my purchased in that regards but I do have skins from about half a dozen skin makers now. I am skin picky, which is why most of my images include me in the same ole skin. It became 'me' and now that's what I use a majority of the time. I do intend to try more, especially as I continue to create shapes to go with the many amazing skins that are out there.

Now, shoes. I was seriously surprised at my lacking in the shoe department as I love shoes! I love pretty shoes, flat shoes, high shoes, frumpy comfy shoes. Let's buy some shoes! I have been working on that a lot faster thanks to things like the Shoe Fair and new stores that are adding shoes to their list of accomplishments. The shoes today are from Nardcotix, I think I own a majority of their shoes now! I was so tempted to pick up all the fat packs but I resisted. How long that will last, I have no idea. I will probably just end up picking them up a color at a time as I need them! It would have saved me money to just give in to fatpack heaven. These are amazing, I cannot get enough of them!

Yes, finally back to my natural shopping tradition, clothing and hair. The outfit is from Phoenix Rising, and its perfect for my 'naughty librarian' look. I don't know why, don't ask. The naughty librarian thing has been an ongoing joke for years with my friends and I, it started in There and has followed me ever since. It's always the prim, proper, or quiet ones you have to watch out for, right? This up do from Truth and the glasses from Persenickety sealed the deal on a new Naughty Librarian. I should read something just to make the occasion complete! Or I could keep working. Lets guess which wins.

Added a handful of new fun areas on the sim today, one of which Kerra and I had to test out. See, she loves the shoes too! Now, we are each off working on pictures, me the blog, but mostly...just missing Sands to pieces today. I swear, even after literally hours talking we still have things to say and going to bed at night gets harder and harder. With the holidays he is super busy and I am seriously missing him. Loving someone isn't always just easy and carefree, the missing and longing part kind of sucks so I'm staying as busy as I can. I've filled a bit of my time doing holiday shopping for my closest friends in SL and having a blast doing it, I can't wait to hand these things out and am going to be on the lookout for a tree for our sim today. I love the holidays, and intend to make these as amazing as I can for everyone I love. If thats you, be excited, because I am!! If thats not you, um, uh, well...lets pretend it is and have a great holiday season too!! That works for me, on with the aniticpation!

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.
