SySy's will be releasing this amazing dress soon, and I was thrilled to be on when the sneak peek showed up and it begged to be blogged. This is exactly the look I've needed the last week with the warmer weather that showed up, a full week after snowing! Go figure, living up north is an adventure to be sure. Paired up with these amazing little sandals by Shiny Things and wild fun earrings by Ticky Tacky, I'm ready to go linger in my coming to life garden. Someone bring me some ice water?

I don't often have enough time in Second Life lately to go out all that much, but I do hear there are still clubs and dancing and even live performers! The dress released by SySy's tonight was inspired by a live performer that the designer is sponsoring this week. Lollo String, as well as his background dancers The Lollette's, have been entertaining the masses within SL since 2008 and have a large variety of music they are able to dazzle you with. SySy thought of them as she made this amazing dress, calling it 'Fluffy, feathery and sexy!' The dress comes in three colors, the blue shown as well as black and red. I figured the feed is always full of black, and tis the season for red, so blue it is!

I slipped on a new pair of fabulous shoes by Kilnins and my all time favorite updo by W&Y for this fancy night on the town look. SySy's dress makes me feel like twisting my hips and dancing the night away, seriously, just to see how the layers will swirl around me. I stepped out of my norm for this and put on a super sexy skin by Exodi and donned a beautiful Balderdash jewelry set. If you haven't taken the time to visit any of the mentioned stores, you need to this holiday season. There are so many parties to attend, events to be had and pictures to take and these designers will make you look amazing!

While it still takes me hours to complete a blog post, between chasing around kids and dealing with work etc, I love this part of my online time. Matter of fact, there really isn't anything about my time online that isn't make me extremely happy lately! The choices I thought I had to make about SL with the last post were undone, and it leaves me with the sim to work on and with for another few weeks at least. It was so hard to imaging all the work that had gone into the sim would have been gone next week, but a very dear friend swooped in to save us. I am so very thankful to him for doing so, and hope he enjoys his new home with us and we can make him proud. Back off to do a little bit of work while I want for Sands to get home tonight. It should prove to be yet another amazing night, I'm wondering when my luck will run out on those but so far so good! I hope you are all staying warm and dry tonight, its snowing again here and freezing. Cannot wait to snuggle up and stay warm...someone make the work day be over please!

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!
