42dontpanic

The designer of [42] sent out this gift to the stores group, this is going to be the only place and time you can get this awesome shirt in both male and female versions! Soon they will be releasing more shirts so you will just have to stay tuned and make sure not to miss out. Currently they are having an amazing sale, everything just $42L! If you have not yet checked out [42], this is *the* time to go!

I've dressed my SL in purple today in support of those fighting cancer. Ironically I remember talking to my mother in law, years ago, about her battle with cancer and her recovery and I asked how she was able to get through it without having moments of panic. I was surprised by her strength and her determination not to let it get the better of her. Luckily she had a fabulous amount of support with her friends and family, and has been cancer free for some years. Even though I am unable to financially support RFL as much as I would like, this is a simple way we can all show support for the amazingly strong people that are battling with cancer every day. Dress your SL in purple today, and show your support as well!

April 6, 2009

Spring sprang, and then left again here. Thank goodness the seasons are not so fickle in Second Life! I was able to spend a great deal of time today working on yet another area of our sim and decided to take a break to post this look of the day. The outfit is the RFL item that Mischief has provided and I absolutely love the colors. Mischief was always been one of my favorite designers, one of many that has stuck with SL over the years producing fabulous clothing. To date, my Mischief folder has had to be organized into sub folders countless times because I simply have so much! I also took this chance to show one of my newest favorite hairs from ETD, she has a handful of new items out now that the sim is open again so be sure to stop by and try them. The location, of course, is Waffle Island, my own personal landscaping and decorating playground. Please come by and visit us, even though improvements are still being done. Hopefully you enjoy the place as much as I am!

RFL & Coin Hunt

I've shopped, I've hunted, I've unpacked and even taken a few photos, but I don't have it in me to stay up much longer to blog it all. For now, just a quick recommendation. Go to the Relay For Life clothing fair!! Between RFL and the coin hunt going on at the Magic Of Oz sim, this is what I came away with. There is a group gift from LeLutka slipped in there as well. Tomorrow I will have more information on all of them, I promise, for now my inventory was just happy to add all of this to its contents. I may be broke, but I'm happy! I also snuck over to Material Squirrel and picked up a pair of green wings which were on sale, slipped on the dress from The Laughing Academy (coin hunt gift) and took the following picture. Over all, a very good day of Green Magic!

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.
