A few hairstyles I’ve collected thus far. Some are fairly older than others but, I love them all the same and I’m pretty sure you guys haven’t seen any of them on this blog so I figured, why not share? Besides, I’m inventory sorting, finally! after weeks of piling things on and rummaging through folders. Btw, if you haven’t done your inventory sorting yet and don’t know where to start, check out Ohmai’s amazing tutorial on how she sorts her inventory! In the meantime enjoy these hairstyles!

The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

My daddy is coming for you.

My daddy is coming for you. ( Pt. 2 )

Look! guyssss!, I made some fashion collages in photoshop!. What do you think?!. I sorta felt like blogging today because, I put together this cute outfit inspired by ranch girls. Maybe not the kinds you have in mind but, go ahead and imagine I herd horses and stuff. Don’t blame my imagination, blame these great boots!. Ugh, look at that shine!.

Anyway, Wasabi pills released some new mesh hair today with pig tails. It’s like she read my mind!. I had been sorting through my “hair” folder in my inventory earlier in the day and whining about how much hair I had but yet I couldn’t seem to find the right one for this outfit I had just put together. Yeah, you know it’s time for an upgrade when you have so much to wear but just can’t seem to “see” anything to wear. Does that make sense?. Alright folks, enough ado about nothing, enjoy the look and see you next year!. Yes, that means this might be my last post before the new year. Goodness I’m nervous to know what may come.

My daddy is coming for you. ( Pt. 1 )

xoxo,
I love you guys,
yours truly,

As winter came, winter stayed. ( pt. 2 )

The itch to blog has began again and so I am vaguely back to enlighten your visuals with some pictures and this look. I meant to blog sometime before halloween and I am sorry i am late on this one but, you’ll have to understand, time these days have been quite fleeting and I barely get enough time to take pictures and then in turn blog them ( I swear some posts take me at least 3 hours to complete.. Nooo, not kidding).

Anyway, so this -is- or perhaps was, my look for halloween. i hope you like it.

Also,before it slips my memory you must visit this sim. Amazing barely defines what my friend Ona has put into it. This is a brief snapshot I took after I was done with the pictures. If only pictures could say the words my eyes fail to tell! *sighs* (oh! and forgive my half-ass attempt at photoshop! :D I wasn’t kidding when I said I was a photoshop newb)

It’s a beautiful thing when music inspires fashion. Such is the case with this look I sorta scrambled together. I thought I’d share it with you guys. I hope you like it.

Also, I’ve spent the last few days walking around with this machine gun leg as seen in the movie Planet Terror directed by Robert Rodriguez. Here’s a picture of the character Cherry with them on!

I think it’s sexy!. Also, Halloween is around the corner, it could work as something to help build your character! :)

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged anything. Back to school, you get the drift. Anyway, while i was away I missed out on the premier of MESH across the grid but, I’m sure you probably got enough coverage on it ( I still kept myself up-to-date via flickr and fashion feeds). I however was a little skeptical on some of the items released. Luckily you can demo your outfit or whatever before you purchase it which I think is a nice addition because, sometimes a picture can exaggerate the goodness of things.

Youmakemyheartbeatfaster

Here, I managed to collect two of my ( so far ) favorite mesh items. This hair by /Wasabi Pills/ and these thigh high pumps by Slink. The pumps I have to admit are exceptional!. I’ve always been a fan of thigh high boots except in sl (before) your best bet was to walk or stand because, once you sat down the beauty of your boots were out the window.

Gosh, so exciting!. On that note, hope to see you guys soon, and as always,
Enjoy,

P.s :: I heard about the discontinuation of Kristen’s viewer and my heart dropped. So far I have been trying to tackle with the picture taking capabilities of the firestorm viewer and I can’t say I am remotely impressed. I really miss Kristen’s viewer and I hope something turns up to help us ( photographers/bloggers ) with our picture taking needs. :(

Please note : This is by no means a “brag” post. There’s an astronomical difference between teasing and bragging.

Ever seen or purchased something in reallife and you wished you had the same item in secondlife? Well, guess what? It could probably happen!. Thanks to an awesome project started by Abra Exonar on flickr. It is called, the SL Please Make this group. ( click the link to learn more about the group, designers are all welcome! ). There is also an in-world group, join it HERE.

So of course, yours truly had a request :) . I added this picture to the group. ( I found it randomly months ago and held on to it hoping that one day I’ll find out who the artist was. )
Native daughter by variations
I even uploaded it into sl and had it on display at my home for a while. Here’s an old snapshot of me posing with my cat Bella and the picture in the background.
Meet my Bella
Anyway, so long story short after posting it to the group, designer Mae Liamano creator of ( love )  decided to give it a shot. And, *heavenly bells* this is what it turned out like. Can you say gorgeous?

TheNative

It should be officially released by tomorrow ( i.e: August 09 ). *Sighs* , who knew hair dreams could come true? * wipes off a tear *. Thank you so much, Mae Liamano. *sniffs some more *

It comes with a feathered piece which is separate from the hair and another version without bangs ( I am posing with the bangs version because that was my favorite ). There is also a HUD for the fatpack which has a wide range of colors. I really like how the pigtails turned out though I do wish there were more wisps, either way, Mae has done an altogether great job on the entire hair.

Fun and Fashion.

Fashion is meant to be fun, playful, dangerous, line threading, even expressive and much more. Sometimes as bloggers when under pressure to showcase the latest and newest items on the grid we lose sight of that and sometimes end up turning out to appear typical and generic.

I am not claiming to be some sorta fashionista or uppity fashion guru, I am just another secondlife resident who loves playing dress up who happens to have a blog, and who also happens to love taking pictures!. If anything most of my posts have been about having fun and playing around.

And well, like I’ve always said, once it gets boring then you’re just not experiencing enough. Anyway, today I decided to come up with 5 consecutive looks in 5 consecutive posts. So stay tuned and keep an eye out. Love you guys and as always have fun!.

All American.

I’d like to say a big thank you to Aranel Ah the designer of BOOM for this beautiful patriotic bikini she gave out as a gift to all her customers. Also for the beautiful Nautical hats she sent out to all the participants in my little All American photoshoot, good times, good times!.

allamericanphotoshoot

I might have had a little more champagne than usual today so bare with me if anything I type up sounds a bit off ( I was celebrating darnit! :D ). Today is America’s Independence day and I had the pleasure of sharing an awesome photoshoot/moment with a few other residents who adorned themselves in BOOM‘s Independence day gift. The sultry bikini set we ( girls )are wearing, except for the sexiest of the bunch, Bouncer, the only guy in our midst. Notice how he took a convenient spot behind all of us? I’m on to you Mr. Bouncer! *laughs*.

What does it mean to be an American? Historian Philip Gleason would put it this way; ” To be or to become an American, a person did not have to be any particular national, linguistic, religious, or ethnic background. All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals f liberty, equality, and republicanism. Thus the universalist ideological character of American nationality meant that it was open to anyone who willed to become an American.

I am proud to say I am an American and even more honored to share this day with everyone in the world out there right now. 235 years and counting. How awesome is that?
