Cleaning my inventory and reorganizing it has been on the top of my to do list for some weeks now. Yesterday I actually started tackling my main folder, the one where everything automatically ends up when you go out on a shopping spree, instead of working on what you already have. I need to work on that habit, or just give in and do it more. This outfit actually was tossed together purely by accident, yet has gained a place on my favorites list. I've been working on including more accessories into my outfits, and many of the sets at Twisted & Spoiled fills in my accessory need perfectly. The top was found at Twosome, a fabulous small store that I found while browsing the feeds. The rest was already lurking somewhere in my inventory, per usual.

The dominate pieces in these photos are, of course, the furniture! With the amazing scuplted work and detailed textures, the furniture from Not So bad has taken over one of my entire builds. I honestly fell in love with their furniture and purchased about half the store, twice! Anyone is welcome to come and visit us on Waffle Island and see the amazing explore areas and the castle that holds these pieces. It is well worth the visit, and be sure to share your images with us! (Flickr group to come)

March 27, 2009

It's not often I am handed things to blog, being rather content with my handful of (all be it quiet) readers I haven't pushed to be seen and known around the grid. I don't mind, that means I have more time to blog the things that I love and the few things that do indeed get handed my way get special attention.

I've been looking for a reason to visit a library of sorts in Second Life for a while, since I love to read and even write myself. I recently started a second blog, completely unrelated to SL and its fashion, though it will include photos, for some of my stories. This is only a minor tiny plug, so, you can find a link to Delightfully Deviant on my blog roll. Plug over!

Todays look was brought to you by plurk! Why? I do believe that would be because everyone that gave me something to wear, I have met through plurk! Hey, who said an addiction cant be a good thing? I have met some amazing people and even better, amazing designers who I have had the pleasure of getting to know. Most I didn't even realize were content creators. Who knew they aren't all scary 'don't you dare talk to me' designers that sit looking down on us pitiful common folk like you might think! What am I saying? I'm saying if you see a designer out there, say hi, dont fall at their feet for an autograph or anything, just remember they are here in a social game just like you are. Ok, if you happen to see *this* guy, you can fall at his feet. I certainly did!!

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.
