Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli. This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy. When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why. I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick. The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little. There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora. I still do not remember how I found it. It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain. But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

e!…Ingenue, Essences, Dark Mouse

A while back my wonderful partner, Vanish suggested that I stop making my blogs SOOOO detailed and just blog about the one or two items of each outfit that really caught my attention. That is SOOOO hard to do when there are SOOOO many pretty things just staring back at you! The funny thing about it, is that this outfit ...

52 weeks of color, Ramblings

52WOCC – Celadon

by El | 0 » | Jul12 11

This week's color, Celadon, falls into the green tones that I love so much. You would think that I would have TONS of it in my inventory...and yet...most of the stuff I seem to tuck away in there is black, white or some neutral shade between with a smattering of red thrown in for good measure. So I was really ...

Design

by V | 0 » | Jul11 11

I'm currently playing around with wordpress themes, and I just keep coming back to baroque/arabesque ornamental designs that, by all design lessons, only serve to distract from the text and confuse the eye. But, judging from my own online reading habits, I just have to say that most blogs I read have an absolutely awful design. That's not because they ...

My friend, Opensource Obscure, has been banned from Google+, apparently because Google+ requires you to use what we call your "real life identity". Now, this sets us back again. I don't really know why they picked him of all the hundreds of SL users who signed up for the service using their SL names, but it shows that "WE" ((WE, ...

Electric blue – SEXY SEXY SEXY!!!!

by El | 2 » | Jul6 11

Vanish told me I HAD to write something “sexy” to go with these pics. So there it is....right in the title...it can't be missed. (Ducks as she hides from Vanish and waits for his lecture about how THAT was not what he was talking about!) It has been my experience that when someone SHOUTS about how sexy they are...or how ...

Happy Fourth of July!

by El | 0 » | Jul4 11

This post kind of doesn't fit in any category I have. It is more than a "Quick and Dirty" but does not fall into my 52Weeks of Color Challenge either. It was simply something that came together quite easily and featured some items that I wanted to talk about! As I spent time in SL getting ready for my next 52 ...
