I did not even know this is an actual fruit, thought it was just a mesh-up name for the colour, but apparently it is! I had to do something silly for Miss Tangelo, so somehow that translated into an anything-but-realistic … Continue reading →

If everything else fails, get a bigger hammer. Or a crowbar. Perfect engineering rule! This particular character started with the steampunk bandana by Calico Ingmann Creations, available in Hair Fair. Remember that Bandana Day is on Sunday! There’s a bandana … Continue reading →

I’ve lately been just squinting at evil twisting cubes all over the grid while doing the Twisted Hunt, but I managed to tear myself away from the camming madness to blog today! Huzzah and such things! I’m not quite sure if this character is taking a break watching tv or breaking the tv itself, but [...]

I spotted this challenge in Plurk and first it made me cheer, then it made me confused. “I was thinking that it would be a fun challenge for you to do something out of the norm for a day. Do something that is uncharacteristically you! Try sci-fi, steampunk, grunge, burlesque, etc. Step outside your comfort zone [...]

They’re everywhere! Santa hats, reindeer horns, candy canes, red lingerie, shiny lights… the grid turns into red and green for December. There’s a lot of hunts, events and just straightforward wonderful gifts by designers to make sure your avatar is appropriately dressed. I swear, you could make full 24 looks out of everything that is [...]

More cute autumn things! I thought I’d wait a little, but then Chandra Masala of {bilo} dropped cute shirts on me and there I went again, building looks and squeeing my way through the settings. Have you ever noticed how in real life autumn goes from still-sort-of-summer into yey-pretty-colours-for-two-days and then into dark-cold-rainy-misery-for-months? Fortunately in [...]

This all began when I realized I had three pairs of faun legs I wanted to blog. So for a while the title was Three Little Fauns. Then I started dressing up the said fauns and realized I had no natural faun-appropriate modesty layers… but I did have scales. At this point the sisters turned [...]

Melon was an interesting thing to put together. Not only did it need to be funny and quirky and even silly, it was way too pastellish for me to have much anything in it. All ‘melon’ searches brought up bright watermelon entertainment. Fortunately Curious Kitties had their summer festival going on with plenty of freebies, [...]

Did I mention already that this has been a lazy week? I did? Oh. Well. Miss Lemon got to suffer take advantage of it and just lounge about in the sun with her namesake fruit. As obvious and easy as you can get, ‘m afraid, but at least she seems to be enjoying herself. The [...]

I’ve been feeling all summer-lazy and meeroo-snuggly lately and even managed to wage war versus inventory to get it under some semblance of order. I cleared all the old stuff from my sort-folder and left only things that I knew I’d wanna blog there, waiting for both inspiration and the missing pieces to complete a [...]

There’s been a cutesplosion in my inventory lately and I figured I should set them in something resembling order. It was a bit of a challenge with all the awwing they inspire, but I think I managed! Here’s Sonya’s Arc, although it’s really just a raft. All the animals and the raft itself are from [...]

What’s your number? Mine’s 15848 at the moment. I managed to get below 15k in February, but after that it’s been a constant struggle. Yes, I’m talking about the monster that is also known as the inventory. You look away and it has doubled and you have no idea how! So then you roll your [...]

The first week of every month is always such an inventory disaster in SL. All the new hunts and events begin and loots keep piling up! At the moment the big lagfest of a shopping spree is Culture Shock. I’ve managed to crawl through the lag a couple of times now, but no doubt I’ll [...]
