Running Into Good Friends

Sometimes you go your whole SL without running into friends randomly in stores. Most of my friends are actually on plurk so it's even harder. A number of years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Sileny Noel that began with a thump ;). A few days ago, MINA plurked about the newest group gift at the store. I'd never been there actually and decided that I wanted such a cute hair shown in the picture above. Joined the group for 200L and snatched that right up! I turned around to look at other hairs and SURPRISE!! Sileny was standing right behind me ^_^ Catching up in-world was fun but I only had the hair, I needed an outfit! This reminded me that Free*Style has a shop of great designers.

Dear Readers,

I recently joined a bunch of feeds and had started getting a few people reading this blog. Sadly, a snag in the works has come up. My original computer is too old to run Second Life past 2.6 (which means no mesh) and LL has now decided that to log in you must have at least 3.0. For a time I was using a friend's laptop that was able to let me run SL pretty well with shadows on and everything but unfortunately this friend will be moving soon.

What does this mean? Well, this means that I will not be able to blog for a good amount of time (unknown) until either I replace my desktop or find another way to get on. I really enjoyed all that I did up til this point and really wish I wouldn't have to go on this forced hiatus.

I might be able to do one more blog post before the end of this week.

Where you can find me if you'd like:

Facebook
Plurk

GIfts for December

 Another hiatus but luckily that means there are just more gifts to find and pick up. Advent calendars have started up to which you can find all over the grid and on many blogs.

I'm really starting to love MESH even more because I could never wear dresses properly before especially short ones. Not having to resize boots is another awesome plus to MESH. I just pick a size that would fit my leg and BOOM they fit.

*Epic* Group Gift 5L 

4 different colors available, boards are as you walk into the main entrance.

MESH MESH MESH

So many bloggers have already done beautiful posts of The Arcade Gatcha event. I couldn't pass up the chance to do the same. Unfortunately, those without MESH viewers will not be able to see much of the design or Gachas as most of them are MESH. Also, a lot of the items you can receive are also MESH. You have until the 15th to go collect your gachas.

At the same time 22769 created a few MESH items for The Gallery Gift shop and The Autumn Effect Hunt, both until the 15th of this month as well. Look for a ice hockey puck and get your hint from the orange sign board at the tp point.

Varsity Coat Weather

The weather, for us northern hemispheres, has certainly smashed into fall hasn't it? I live in Pennsylvania, USA and it went from being unbearably hot to downright chilly! One good thing our avatars have over us is the inability to feel temperature. For some reason I have to dress my av for the weather even if she can't feel it. 

 Join the *Epic* VIP group (check for a fee) and you can get these MESH Kawaii Varsity Jackets for 5L each. They come in several sizes so you can find one that fits your avvie just nicely.

The hair shown is a current TRUTH hair group gift called Sam and it is MESH. It comes in normal colors as well as some crazy cute ones like the Blueberry shown here. It might still be in the subscribo notices but that shouldn't stop you from joining anyway if it isn't. The group gifts are nice.

Another group that gives out great gifts and plenty of them is .ID. (Insufferable Dastard) which has wonderful eyes done in system and MESH. 

I picked up the skin on my av over at The Dressing Room Blue. [Atomic] puts up an exclusive TDR only skin up pretty regularly. Galaxy is the name of this round's pretty skin. 75L and it's all yours.

Sick :(

As the title suggests, I've gotten sick and haven't done a darn thing since 2 weeks ago. Hopefully because fall is here and it's been 2 weeks, this will ride itself out and go away.

Here's hoping!

Last outfits for summer

Are you able to see/wear MESH and have 160L? Then you can have this outfit from 22769! (there is also an outfit for men not shown here). Floating Sunrise top and skirt in MESH. 

Honestly, I'm starting to really love MESH. Being able to use certain poses with skirts and dresses is awesome. Kicking!
