The first thing that came to mind when I read that this week’s Single Frame Story challenge was “Watch” was steampunk. Steampunk always makes me think of grandfather clocks, pocket watches, and time pieces of all sorts. I briefly toyed with … Continue reading →

Constellations Blog has a challenge called Bust Out Of Your Bubble. I asked Millie Gloom from Demented Dollie if she’d like to collaborate for the challenge.
We got together and had a great time putting together a rock show scene, and afterwards we kicked back for a little Q&A to get to know a little bit about each other, since the objective of the challenge was to meet new people and learn about how they blog.
I asked the questions first. For Milli’e questions to me, visit Demented Dollie.
1) What inspired you to start blogging?
My love of goth/ alternative fashion and seeing that it was often not well represented on the fashion feeds!
(you’re representing well!)
2) What do you do to prepare for a new blog post?
I take hours to prepare for any blog post. But it usually starts with an idea/ concept, then I move onto select my outfit and finally choose a location/ build the scene.
(I switch the last two, I’m usually more interested in the scene than I am my clothing.)
3) What tips would you give to a new blogger?
Preparation is key! Make sure you are well prepared beforehand. Also, enjoy yourself! If you enjoy the blogging process it shows in your photos!
(If you’re not having fun, it’s really not worth doing!)
4) What are five brands in SL that you love?
Only 5? There really are soooooo many that I love! I am a total shopaholic!! I could probably pick 5 brands per item- hair/ skins/ eyes/ clothes/ shoes/ jewelry/ (Read more...)
I don’t consider myself a writer, but I love doing the weekly 100 Word Story challenge. This week’s prompt is “Border”.
The Border
Billy had tickets to see Velvet Crush, the rock band he’d waited to see for years. The car was loaded up for the drive to the club, a couple hours away near the border. The smartphone was running GPS for the trip, which Billy was following closely.
His excitement grew when the GPS spoke in a robotic voice, “Concert Club one mile away”, but his heart dropped when it continued, “200 yards beyond the border”. Billy drove up to the crossing and parked on the side of the road, fearful.
He’d heard too many stories about nausea and crashes at borders, and was afraid to cross.
Stay tuned to this blog for a Velvet Crush appearance!
“Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne
I’ve listened to preachers,
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
What you see:
Car .. Intense Creations – 1967 Fastback
Hair .. Argrace – Glide
Shirt .. FATEwear – Nathan Shirt

Way back in time, when this blog was nothing but a reserved name at Google, I asked a few close friends for a few song suggestions. It took me a few months to get into a habit to make my posts on a more regular basis, and over that time I’ve forgotten …

Strawberry Singh has a new meme! She calls it the Procrastination Meme, and since i was not really wanting to work hard yesterday afternoon, I couldn’t resist giving this week’s meme another go.
What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often?
May 25, 2007 (I’m almost six!)
Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life?
There is a place that I think was called Platinum, where people went to sit for long periods of time hoping to win a few lindens. I’d spend some time there and chat. One person who became a good friend threw pants at me as an icebreaker. (Apparently I was not a well-dressed newb!)
Where do you spend most of your SL time now?
In one of three buildings, or on a platform, at the two parcels I rent or own.
Who is your closest friend in Second Life?
Maci Restless
What is the most favorite thing in your inventory?
My purple ’65 Pontiac GTO convertible from a creator no longer in the game.
The last thing you purchased in Second Life?
A missile. Seriously.
What color clothing does your avatar wear most often?
Blue (as in jeans)
Do you prefer to walk, run or fly?
I usually run if I’m at a massive place, or I cam at a smaller build.
What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in SL?
….
Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife?
Robert Downey Jr, or David Spade
“Secrets” by The Cure
One look relives the memories
Remember me
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This holiday is also the prompt for this week’s 100 Word Challenge. If you enjoy fiction, head on over Sunday afternoon to listen to the podcast or read all of this week’s tales.
St Patrick’s Day Pub
The Guinness was ready, and shamrocks were placed everywhere. Billy had his tacky, bright green leprechaun suit dry-cleaned and ready for the weekend.
Business was really tough lately. The regulars were dying of liver failure or “getting healthy” and drinking less, and Billy’s country bar was really struggling. But a couple years ago, he had a brilliant idea. He changed to whole bar into an Irish pub for one week of the year, when all the cowboys claimed to be from the Emerald Isle. Billy was making enough in that week to stay afloat the rest of the year.
This year, he even hired a ginger.
“The Boys Are Back” by Dropkick Murphys
Standing on the highway, on ninety three
I’m missing my home, and it’s killing me
Down the ramp passed the jail, I’m feeling alright
Bought roses for my ladies from a corner [?]
It’s time to get ready for that song and dance
Let’s go my friends, it’s time to take a chance
We’re back in town, we’re gonna get it done
We got nowhere to hide, we got nowhere to run
It’s been a long time coming
It’s been a long time coming
The boys are back
The boys are back
The boys are back
This week’s prompt for Single Frame Stories is Blur, so as usual, I just translate the word into something I know.I’m a moderate drinker these days, but everyone has a few experiences from the past they’d like to forget! Enjoy, and please vis…
