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.

Alone Time

Truth Hair is Truth Love

Okay, so I'm running out of ways to express my love of Truth hair.  I'll work on that. For now, that will have to do. On to the hair...

First up is Tia in Champagne. I love love love this 'do. I'm only showing one shot of it because frankly, it's all in the front. It's all about the front and let's face it...the front is what matters. It's a side-swept pony with luscious tendril around the face. The tail is big and fat and there's something about that that is strong and smexy and yet uber feminine at the same time. Xena, Warrior Princess anyone?

Next is Poppy in Seaspray. This one is a little something different. the bangs are parted barely off-center and the ends flip just a bit on the sides. Really nice for a change of pace and I love seeing Truth mix it up a bit. Again, the soft layers and curls fall around the..um....front of the body.

This hair warrants a second photo so you can see the layers and curling ends drape down the back. Really pretty.

 

Last is Riley in Swedish. another hairband style, this time in a loose silky cloth band. The band comes in 22..that's right..22 shades.

 

I love the the way the band seems to loop around in a layer. Nice and wide to hold that bundle of gorgeous hair back away from the face.

The back shows the richness of the material of the band and how nicely it hangs at the bottom. Just beautiful.

You owe it to yourself to go check these hairs out. I know I gush and that's just the way it is. Yes, the first style is my fave. No, I don't care for the second style all that much but only because I don't find it flattering on Joonie. And the third one is just adorable. Regardless of style preferences, with Truth hair you know you are always getting quality and design. And what is the most important reason to wear Truth hair?

BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL PRETTY!

Till next time...

TP to Truth

Party at Rouge!

My friend, Eva, tp'd me to Rouge for a party. I love Rouge and I love Codie and Gabby. I love Nexeus and used to go to Rouge on a regular basis. But you know how SLife can be. We stop going to places we used to or something happens or something. Anyway, it was awesome to be there and see people I hadn't seen in a while. As I panned around the room, I realized there were several Lindens there. And it was Teagan Linden's Rez day! I remember Teagan when she wasn't a Linden and have always thought she was very talented and cool. So it was nice to be able to wish her a happy Rez Day. Blue Linden was there and I remember him from Plurk (yes I left there and now wish I hadn't.) LOL

All in all a fun night. Love Rouge and being there tonight reminded how fun it is! I think that might be a nice place to go on Thursday nights! =)

I have met some amazing people in SL. A few not so much but the ratio of cool people to asshats is pretty one-sided in favor of the cool kids. YAY! AND Emerald is on the compliant list. SLife is good. lol

Zilch...I got nuthin'

Some of you may have wondered why I posted this pic of an 'elf playing the piano' as one friend put it. This is no elf. This is Skye Galaxy. So, why? Good question. I love his music but I don't know him. This was taken at the Pop Music thingy I blogged about a few posts back or something

So the reason this pic is here, is because, I had nothing to post last night. This was the only photo in my file that hadn't been posted yet. So...I posted it. Just through it up here with no Title and no text. Nada. Zilch. Sorry to use you in that way, Skye.

Now, here it is another night and I still don't have anything? why? Well, because when I logged into SL to take pics of my next "subject" someone IM'd me and asked if I wanted to go bike riding. He meant bike as in motorcycle!  I had to say yes to that.  It was fun, just like I knew it would be. He ran over a few ppl and kinda messed with this one guy. He was 12 I think. Anyway, all in all a very successful evening.

When he had to go, I thought great, now I'll take pics of my "subject" but...I couldn't tp anywhere. Thought I'd log off and try again. The worst idea ever. Once I logged out, I couldn't log back in no matter how many times I tried. I even restarted my laptop.

Oh well...such is SLife.

Sorry for no new post....just new words.
Until next time!

I Love Options

Apparently so does Shad. He took the pic. I merely blogged it. Please IM me for more details. ;)

Lean On Me

It's always good to have a friend you can sit on....I mean lean on. Thanks Shad!

The other day I was feeling all waah waah about things (I know right?) and I just happened to be doing the 50L Friday shopping spree. One of the vendors didn't have her item out, so she was standing in her shop apologizing. What a sweetie! She had this tat on that said " I make lots of mistakes." I immediately loved it and asked where she got it. She found it at Aitui. I couldn't get there fast enough. LOL

Here it is in all its glory. Nice way to say "I fk'd up" and to remind myself that as perfect as I might appear *cough cough* I still have things to learn. :)  Thanks for loving me anyway!

Elven Forest

I don't usually like group spam. Tonight someone sent a link to The Nameless Isle group, of which I will be a part until they pry it from my cold dead pixel hands.  Anyway, the slurl was to a place called Elven Forest.  It's not The Nameless Isle, but there were some pretty parts of it. Like this. Yes it's a unicorn. So what! :p  LOL!

Thanks for looking.

Calling on the Magic

I found this place unexpectedly while shopping. I couldn't find what I wanted in the shop, but I found this magical place. Just what I needed at that moment. Sometimes our actions cause ourselves and others pain. Nothing hurts more than knowing that. So today, I surrounded myself with beauty and magic. They seem to restore me and give me faith in myself again.

Thanks for reading. Be careful out there.

Hugs!

Truth Strikes Again!

Yay!! I love Wed/Thur! I can usually count on some kind of release from Truth Hawks. And I wasn't disappointed today. More hair!! So let's get on with it!

First is Tesa, here in Champagne. Tesa is absolutely gorgeous. I think it's my fave of the three.

Front view - love the relaxed way the tendrils fall and the side sweep of the hair.

 

Back view - Again the pins holding the hair in place. Love the way these new pins look. Lots of detail.

 

Side view - It just keeps getting better, doesn't it? Love this hair!

 

Next is Emme, seen here in Swedish.

Emme is beautiful and more on the elegant side.

Front view - left side shows the gently flowing hair that was fallen out of the loose knit bun. Really pretty and sexy feeling as it tickles the neck. Feel it?

 

Front view - right side shows the ribbon that holds the hair loosely in the back. The ribbon comes in 12 different colors and has a rich quality to the texture.

 

Back view - finally the back view sums it all up. Really classic style with wisp of hair on the shoulders and back.

 

Last is Annette in Seaspray. A beautiful side sweep do.

Front view - left side shows the way the hair falls over the shoulder and the beauty of this hair is in the layering of the hair that falls forward.

 

Front view - I love the way the hair wraps around so gracefully. Take note of where the ends fall on the body. Very smexy and without clothing you will see how it falls in just the right place. just sayin'  ;)

 

Side view - Love the sweep of the hair forward and the way the top of the hair slopes gently in a really flattering way.

So that's it for another Truth hair release. I hope you enjoy these. I'm well aware of the fact that I gush...lol...but I love all 3 of these. I'm sure there will be a Truth hair that I can't stand and when I see it, I'll honestly tell you it's crap, imo. It just hasn't happened yet!

nini everyone!

SL Games

No, not those mind games.  My friend Shad and I were just hanging out the other day when he brought up this game that I hadn't played in forever. I know it has a name but I don't know what it is. I asked Shad but the bum didn't answer me. :P

So it's when you take turns searching for a word in SL Search. Then you can either go to the first one listed or whichever one sounds most interesting. Here's how our game went:

I went first and my word was: Pickles

That took us to a store named Pickles but out in the yard was this cool airplane ride. So of course we jumped on it. But really, it was kinda lame.

Next, Shad chose the word Guadalajara, which put us in a church. I thought it was cool and really pretty, but Shad wouldn't come in very far.  LOL  Don't know if he thought the ceiling was going to fall in or what, but he wanted a new word in a real hurry!

So my next word was: Word

The word Word brought us here. I believe the place was called Written Word. Ugly build but we did find some dance balls with written words on paper on the floor. hmm....we look cute but I think it was a bust.

Shad chose Percival as the next word which took us to Avillion. I had been there before, but this time I was NOT dressed for it at all. Neither was Shad. So...here we are in front of the dress code sign feeling all defiant!

It was my turn for the word and I chose two words....cos i'm all rebellious....uh huh.

My word(s) were Space Monkey. Now I don't know exactly why it brought us where it did...but it did. We rezzed inside a store with men's underwear.  I didn't know there was a store that catered to that niche, but there we were. When we first rezzed, there was a big diplay of mannequins showing off their wares...or rather...THE wares. I thought it would be funny if Shad joined them in has wares so I asked him to do it. And he did!!

Butt shot...had to do it. The sacrifices I make for my readers! ;)

 

Shad in all his glory. If anyone is looking for an underwear model, please contact me. I am his booking agent and I receive 40% of the top. Or the bottom...whichever....  *groans*  Did I just say that?

This last place was def the winner of the night. LOL It was a fun way to mix things up a bit. Try it next time you're bored. Erm...not that I was bored with Shad or anything...eek!

Creative Marketing

That title is a bit misleading. However, I'm always impressed with how designers package their goodies in cute, adorable, or original ways. This was the way Pop Art sent out their invitations to the Partical Show. You can't tell here, but the box actually swirls around with particles. Very cool. I'm going to leave it out, I think.

.

I know this is a short post. And I know we purchase what's inside the pretty packaging, not outside. But I tend to think that designers who go to the trouble of impressing us when we rezz the box must have some awesome stuff inside. Not always the case, but I like thinking so.  ;)  So then it's true. :p

More cute packaging posts as I run across them =)

New Truth Hair!

Joonie is feeling pretty again, and you know why. Yep, it's Truth hair day!

Kylie (champagne) - Kylie is a cute style for Summer. I love the way the tails loop over the shoulder. They look soft and pretty with small wisps. Typical Truth hair. Yummy.

Had to show you a closeup of the pins holding the side part in place. Great detail on these.

Giada (platinum) - This is a really nice long do with color changeable headband. The headband looks like it could be made of silk or other rich material and comes with 24 different color changes. My fave part about this hair is the way the hair falls forward over one shoulder and back on the other one
.

I can see it being played up or down with the right color band.


Annie (seaspray) - I always have a fave, and this time it's Annie.  Joonie usually has this girl-next-door smexyness about her. Or at least that's what I usually go for. Because of that, Annie suits Joonie perfectly. I love the way it frames the face but isn't severe. And I love the side swept bangs.

View of the back. I just love this so much. It says Smexy and Summer and Fun and Sensual all in one style. You can almost feel the hair tickling your back. Don't you feel it?

 

Side view and OMFG! Look at that poof. Look at those pieces that all come together to create the most awesome sauce hair  EVAH! I won't even try to sound cool and bored. This hair rocks.

 

Until next time, don't forget to wash your hands and always tell the Truth
