Help Japan

It's good to see/feel that Second Life is a community that cares about Real Life people all over the globe, with literally no boundaries. Spontaneous fund raisings and events are initiated for whatever disaster happens in the world like the recent tsunami in Japan. 

I remember the first time I became aware of this strong community feeling: an SL friend from the US lost his RL home coz of a fire. He had nothing left and had to live in a hotel room for a while. His SL partner and friends organized a fundraising party and we all attended, showed our sympathy and donated Lindens. 

Of course Alex and me we went to the fundraising sales for Japan and bought stuff and donated to the Red Cross. 
However, sometimes I have the feeling to drown into all these charity events, fund raisings, 'special days' like Valentines, St. Patrick, Halloween, Christmas, Easter you name it. Oh and I forgot all the hunts that are going on. Yep no time to linger ;-)

Comfy red

Yesterday, the new comfy NS red sweater Matt was wearing, got me into an early Christmas mood ... I put on my red Reindeer sweater and we snuggled in a boat surrounded by falling snow. Felt like December.

Matt had been shopping coz next to the sweater and the Aoharu scarf he also bought new hair from UncleWeb. Wow I like his hair, cool look! Before buying he acquired many (over 10) hairdemo's and liked them all. I bet he will return to UncleWeb...

A Plastik Courtisane

I love The Plastik mini dresses they are my favourite, easy to wear/combine, no fuzz adjusting and always super sexy and classy. I started my 'collection' months ago with a black and a gold boudoir dress, that I combined with my then favourite Milk Motion admiral jacket, but now ... omg I have so many Plastik dresses. My last acquisition is the red (Temptress) Courtesan dress as shown in the pics below.

Last evening I went out dancing in my new dress, combined it with my Aoharu leather jacket and red Courtisane Hors d'Haleine boots. Because I wanted really hot red lips I changed into the Exodi Sienna Nuit skin. Made me feel sexy this look and I was not the only one as I received compliments being told 'tonight you look so lovely'.

/me purs ..... hey I am a girl and love compliments ;-)

This weekend I spent far too much money on clothes. I had been such a brave girl over the last weeks, but.... well must have been the autumn weather (wind, rain) that inspired me to go shopping in SL. And because of the fact that I spent lots of Linden dollars I now feel the obligation to blog about at least some of the items I bought ;-)

As I love the picture shown above I decided to start with the Aoharu black leather jacket. I combined this new item with my black Zaara slacks, the Coco (Update group gift) belt, a simple top, a pair of sunglasses and my fri-day red Deena hair, giving me exactly the look I like 'Dido style'.

Group membership and frustration.....

Arghhh so frustrating: the message 'you are in too many groups' cannot ad you to this new group. Mmmm, I have to decide then which group to leave, or ... decline the new group membership. Afterwards I am often sorry for leaving a group because I hear from my fashion friends that they had such a nice group gift. Brrr, so I have to remove another group and join them again to get the group gift, etc.... Pffff how complicated can SL be ;-)


Anyway the above happened when I read in Amerie Naughty her blog yesterday there was a long fluffy hippie skirt as a group gift this week, which I had to have of course! Mmmm, difficult choice but I decided to leave Pixel Couture. I tp-ed to Pixel Couture first to look around see if leaving this group was a good choice. Well it was. My tp brought me to a nice parcel of land, very romantic and beautiful and for rent. My endeavours in Search to find Pixel Couture did not bring me anything. So Amerie is back in my groups. I love her clothes and have several of them in my invent.


I combined the skirt with my golden AoHaru sandals and a top of Bare Rose (part of the Duet outfit). It's also super with a jeans, cool!





Last week I spend a few evenings dancing with my French friend Voodoo at The Wave, the KeyWest Resort & Marina dance place. Actually this is Liz Harley her place. She used to be the driving force behind Hot Sax Jazz club, which was my fav club in SL. Almost lived there and therefore I was ever so sad when it closed. Liz her club at Keywest is not hot and fancy but I love the music and the people. A group of pleople and DJ's come there almost every evening and the atmosphere is relaxed. I really enjoyed it.

Sandals ....

Another of my SL addictions, next to exploring, is shopping. I follow several SL fashion blogs the best I can, which of course is never enough (sighs). There are so many, soooo many freebees, group gifts, hunts, lucky chairs, new hair, skin, clothes whatever pfffff.
Sometimes I simple don't wanna bother and go exploring, like I did this week. But..... then I spot something really interesting and I cannot resist it I simple have to go there and buy buy buy ;-)

I was excited when I read Aoharu has sales: 50% off from 11 - 20 July. I went there Tuesday evening and bought 2 pair of sandals. I noticed them in a blog and although I am a 'boots girl' I loved the cute flat golden sandals.

Omg they are super but........ what a lot of work to put them on! I had to cut of my feet first, otherwise the sandals wouldn't fit, adjust the prims of the sandals, colour the skin of the feet (yeah wearing them means you have artificial feet arghhhhh), adjust the colour of those feet to match with the rest of your skin and as icing on the cake: colour your toe nails.

Pfffff I am a lazy girl and was exhausted after putting on both pair of sandals. However, I returned to Aoharu wearing my new sandals to have a look at the clothes on sale. I could not resist buying some: a purple mini dress and a purple kind of hoodie. I also took some freebee socks.
