Friends List

I was lucky enough to catch Ayla Barzane online before she went to bed. She was kind enough to pose with me for Strawberry Singh's Friends List Meme. It's like old times! Which is why we went vintage - well, that and the fact that Collabor88 is so deliciously vintage this month.

Meme instructions: Grab a friend from your second life friends list (optional) pose with them and/or answer the following questions. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments and share your picture in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

1. What is the number of contacts on your Second Life Friends List? (visible in firestorm viewer or your web profile) Seeing Berry's friends list makes me feel totally antisocial. My list is only 126.
2. Are you picky about who you add to your list or do you usually add most people? Apparently more picky than Berry. I never thought I was! One dirty little secret is that I have almost never turned down a friend request, but I've deleted a few the minute they've logged.
3. Who is your oldest contact? (check your calling cards) I couldn't figure out how to sort them by date. I'm guessing Malloc Rau. I've tried to delete my calling cards to reduce inventory because I never use them (it doesn't work, they always show back up).
4. Who is your newest contact? (check your calling cards) That one is easier. Winter Sorex.
5. Do you know every single person on your list? Almost all of them.
6. How many do you speak to on a daily (weekly) basis? Daily one or two. Weekly maybe three or four. I'm not nearly as social in SL as I used to be.
7. How many do you see/get together with in-world on a daily (weekly) basis? Two or three.
8. Who on your list do you have the closest relationship with? Clay Cowen, Ayla Barzane, and Aprilmae Devin.
9. Who do you wish you knew better? Berry, because I just adore her from a distance. She is so incredibly sweet and talented. And Cajsa Lilliehook because she is knowledgeable about progressive politics. I really admire her.
10. Who on your list is the funniest/most entertaining? The winner of the funniest person on my list is Friar Tyles.
11. How did you meet most of the people on your list? (work, parties, etc…) I used to meet loads of people through role play. Now it's mostly bloggers, creators and random folks I chat with when wandering the grid.
12. Do you ever clean out your list? Not often. I've done a couple of purges.
13. Do you have a crush on someone in your list? Clay Cowan and I have hung out together for years. Can that still be a crush? 
14. Is there anyone on your list that you would trust with your password? Yes, but it hasn't ever come up.

How Do I Look?

Here's another Pose Fair find, this time from Savoir Faire - The Dressing Room Prop. I dressed it up a bit with the Apple Fall coat and palm tree, and the Standby Inc birdcage. The prop has ten darling built in poses. This pose is just calling out, "How do I look?"

I'd Like to Thank My Mom...It's the Oscar Contest!

Contests are fun and Harper Ganesvoort's 5th Annual Oscar Fashion Photo Contest is one of the most fun of all. Last year Ayla and I won 3rd place with this entry! Every red carpet fashionista should enter! Check out past years' entries (and add your entry for this year) at this Flickr pool.

I'm planning to take a few photos and choose my favorite for my entry, but this "Thanks Mom" photo is a definite possibility. There's time, the contest runs through March 2nd.

I'll Have a Double

Oh yes, people. I love my espresso machine so much that if the house were on fire and the kids and dog were safe, my espresso machine would be the first thing I would save. The Arcade Gacha Event is in full swing and I've made a few purchases already. As you can see by my loving look, the coffeemaker from Standby is my favorite so far. Also from Standby is the package of French roast.

The eye chart poster and hanging willow plates are from Apple Fall - I want that whole set if I get lucky. The jams and cute table are some of Vespertine's Arcade items. Even my Glam Affair skin is available at the Arcade!

Grandma Roared!

Oh Collabor88! Because of you it's 1929 and my personal stock market just crashed! That's my way of saying the 20's and art deco vintage offerings at August's Collabor88 are irresistible. From flapper hair, clothing, jewelry, and skins to furniture, homes, decor, and poses, I was transported to the roaring 20's with bootleg booze hidden in globes.  The clever globe is by Standby Inc., and a terrific mirror from Art Dummy is my background. Both items are found at Collabor88.

Go with lots and lots of money. You'll want it all.
