So Many Goodies, So Little Time!

And that's the Truth! There are days when it's best to stay in bed. This was NOT one of them. LOL

OMG, so much stuffz, so little time. So let's get on with it!

First up, unless you've been hiding under a rock, there's new Truth hair. I think a national holiday should be deemed in SL. It will be a weekly holiday celebrating the release of all things Truth. But until then, I'll take it upon myself to talk about them. Dirty job...but..

So, first up is Sylvia in Champagne. I think this is my fave for this release. Trust me, that says a LOT because there are some really fab 'dos this week. I love the layering in Sylvia. And the side-swept bangs are thick and the part is waaay over to the side. Really Cute!

Up next is Anthea in Copper. I love all the shades in the hair packs. They're all so rich with lots of different shades all blended in together. Anthea is a really pretty side pony. But, again, I have to have bangs on this long-ass face. So it doesn't work well on me. But it is gorgeous and I would def wear it if I could.

Okay, so here's my usual hair lust do. And I do love this. It's Bettina in Sand.  I love the way the hair hugs the face. This one is not as "big" as some of the thicker 'dos, and I like that about this. Very sweet.

Last is Jason in Platinum. I'm assuming it's a Male style and I wasn't even going to put it on, but once I did, I fell hard! Isn't this the cutest Summer style on the grid? Well, I think so.

I started taking the pics before I realized I had my piercings in...so there they are. Hope they aren't too distracting from the styles. Oh who am I kidding....I like them.

 

So the creme de la creme of the day is this dress and these boots! OMFG!  The dress is a group gift from DCNY called "Fay" and the boots are from a new designer at FM Shoes.

The boots are called Miss Whiplash and come with..well...handcuffs?  LOL  I adore them! YUM!  They come in six awesome colors. There are many more styles at FM Shoes, so be sure to check out the entire line.

Not Much Here

Joonie's SLife has become insanely crazy. Crazy busy. But I'm loving it...so far. I reserve the right to change that perspective at any point in the future. ;)

So I leave you with this not so great pic. I like new horizons...or is this one setting? Hard to tell sometimes. Endings and Beginnings. Beginnings and Endings. They all start looking the same...they fade into one another.

Female Archetypes

I haven't blogged in a bit due to lack of inspiration. Tonight, my muse appeared and I followed where I was lead. This is where I ended up. I hope to explore more the notion of the female archetypes, who they are, and how we view them. I won't give too much information on my opinion of each image, at least not specifically. There will be a story behind each one. But it is my story. Feel free to create your own from the images.

New Truth Releases - May 13

It's very rare that I love all the of the hair in the same release, Truth be told. But today is the exception to the rule. Let's get started.

First is Marcelle in Champagne. What to say other than stunningly beautiful. As always, Truth's textures and layering are the best in Second Life. It just doesn't get better than this. I didn't take more views of  this hair because the back is more of the same yumminess as the front. It follows the same pattern as the front; whispy and layered and the same length.

 

Next is Paula in Mahogany. I'd thought I'd mix up some different colors today for all the non-blondes. Again, regardless of color, you get the same rich texturing and color. This style is so cute. The whispy, loose pieces at the sides that Truth hair is known for and is very complimentary to any face shape. I love the back and side views. Just the right amount of messy.

 

Last is my fave of the releases and is something a bit different for Truth. This is Shinji in Carrot. It is adorable. I don't know who Truth's muse is at the moment, but he needs to keep this one around. You will have to pry this hair from my cold, dead pixel head.

That's it for today. Hope you enjoyed.  Limo to Truth hair is below.

Thanks for reading!

Surreal

Where else can you sit on a goat in the rain with heels on?

Joonie is feeling a little lost here. Not sure why exactly. I'm sure she'll be fine.

Doesn't it just suck when one person likes the other person more than the other person does. We've all been there. It sux either way. Or when you discover you lost your chance at something good. But the way I look at it is like this. Paths cross. Connections are made. Some last and some don't. If they don't, there has to be a reason for that. Sometimes the thing I thought I wanted the most was the worst possible thing for me. And the thing I didn't want at all was just the thing I needed all along.

Cryptic, eh? Well, you know....you know. That's Joonie, you know. ;-)

LeeZu Group Gift

I logged on today to a yummy group gift from Leezu Baxter who i love. I remember the first time I purchased anything from her. She was set up in one of those mall like places, but she had the most incredible stuff. I bought some wings from her that I'll have to show you sometime. Anyway, that was some years ago and now she's doing extremely well. I was so happy to get the group gift. And it came in a cute basket with Spring flowers on the side. (see below.)

The dress is called Yann's le coeur babydoll dress. It comes with two separate skirts. One with a big red flower and one that is totally black. Adorable!

 

So what are you doing here? Get over to LeeZu's and join her group! Grab the gifty!

Something Anything

I didn't spend much time in SL today. And it was kind of awesome. Tonight, around 1am I decided it was time for me to blog. I had this great idea that I would log in, find an awesome faery outfit and blog it.

Here it is, 3:35am, and I have nothing to show for my troubles. Found lots of cute fairy outfits but nothing that I was looking for.

*yawn* So here I go off to dreamland...but before I do...I just wanted to blog something...anything.

thank you, Mr. Rundgren, for that reference =)

This One's Gonna Hurt

Today has been one of those days..you know? When everything that can go wrong does, indeed, go wrong. And why is it when I'm working in SL, that is precisely the time people decide to have a meltdown.

But there a few happy moments and some bittersweet ones.

Bittersweet one first. This is Blackheart. I know, I know....just the name alone should make me run! LOL But he's actually one of the nicest guys I've met in SL. Today, after getting a cryptic im from him last week telling me he has some RL issues going on, he ims me again today. This time to tell me he's moving to another town for work and won't be back in SL until he gets situated. I'm happy for him as it's a promotion for him, but I will miss him. More than I think I realized. Definitely more than I want! LOL

We spent the time we had today taking pics. He bought me a cool photo studio before he left. What a sweetheart. Blackheart? I don't think so. So this is a post to Blackheart and our friendship. Hope to see you soon. All the best to you. And thanks for the pics.

Black or white? Good vs Evil? No...just an awesome guy who will be missed.

Speaking of good and evil...has anyone been watching the final season of Lost? OMG..so Locke was bad all along? And Sun and Jin...waaaah. And goodbye hottie Sayid. What is going on? Is it good vs evil? Or is Locke just dreaming? Joonie <~~~ confused. Any ideas you'd to share?

Oh..and the happy moment? I don't have a pic of that actually. Just got to hang out with an old friend who means more to me than he realizes. Noooo...not like that. Just with a lot of affection. Thanks U. ;-)

Nini - thanks for reading =)

Truth Goodness and Mercy!

It's so embarassing the things I want to say about this Truth hair. Yes, I still have more gushing I could do. But I'll spare you and just get right to the hair.



Up first is Isadora in champagne

Loving the braid. I really like the side view. Not one Joonie will wear much, I'm afraid, but I adore the concept. If you can rock the no bangs look (like Joonie can NOT) you will love this 'do. Awesome for Summer and boho looks.

Next up is Jana in Champagne and Seaspray

It was with a "happy happy joy joy Joonie is full of glee" kind of feeling when I placed this 'do on. As I was unpacking these boxes (also in cute packaging of shampoo bottles) I was wondering if Truth would ever update his old style called Jennifer. That was my "go to" hair forever but it was from June '08 and needed new textures. And now...OMG...this is a very close copy. (Jennifer had some smexy long side bangs, but hey..Truth if you're reading this please think about updating Jennifer. Oh..and if you could name it Joonie that would rock sooo hard. k..thx.)

Anyhooo....I love the femininity of this hair. And, again, it falls just in the right place. Well, it does. Ohhh...talk about the 'do!  okies..I love the lift on top and the way if falls and swings forward with ease. Beautiful, smexy, and can be dressed up or down.

And it's neatly held together on top with those silvery perfect pins. (I can't help it!)

Next is Paige in platinum.

Joonie doesn't do short 'dos much, but I must admit I really like Paige.

It comes with the option to wear with a cute little bow in 15 colors or you can wear the bow in invisible mode. Cute as bunnies, right?

Side view. This style is adorable, summery, and moves in just the right way. Lot's of whispy moving ends. Not too much, tho. Just very natural and pretty.

Last is Tia2 in Driftwood. Last week, Truth gave us Tia, a side-swept braid. With Tia2 we get the same style and feel, but with two braids. Absolutely adorable.

Back view. Look at those whispy loose ends! No one does loose ends like Truth! LOL

I bit of a side view, but really, just more shots of Joonie!  Why? Because she looks....wait for it....

PRETTY! 

I would gush more...I mean write more...but I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Happy shopping!

Zaara

Tonight was the grand re-opeing of the Kasbah. It was a fun night doing my fave thing...listening to live music in SL.  First was PM Bookmite. He was awesome on piano. Then Max Kleene, my boss, who always sounds phenonmenal if I do say so. ;)  And after Max was Edward Kyomoon. I had to log after the first song because it was getting late. But I'll def make more time to hear him again.

Being the Kasbah, what better to wear than Zaara.

More specifics later...now i must sleeeep!

Happy Cinco de Mayo

I say it's a day for drinking Dos Equis or Coronas and eating yummy tamales. I don't know where I was tonight when I received this hat, I just know it made me very hungry. LOL

Beauty

Warning: Joonie is going to wax all melancholy....maybe

SL can be many things. For me, it's always been about the beauty found there. I'm drawn to beauty. I'm not sure why. The dark and dirty side of life holds no appeal for me. Perhaps because in RL, I have experienced that already. So SL, for me, gives me an escape...a place to go where I can choose beauty amid all the darkness.

The darkness doesn't scare me. I know it well. I just know where it leads and I have no need to go there again. Sometimes it's inescapable. But the choice is always there to stay or to find your way back to the beauty. I will always choose beauty over darkness. Whether it is in the form of emotion, pixels, or love.

We are faced with choices every second of every day. The choices we choose today make up our tomorrows. Take care of yourself by making choices you can live with today.

Enough of my 2 cents of vague meanderings. Choose beauty. You won't be disappointed.
