The Bedroom

I love home decor in Second Life. I can be awfully fickle and redo a home from the ground up more than once a month. Digs just released a lovely new bedroom set called Ainsley that I'm currently enjoying. The bed comes in PG or Adult versions for all our bedroom activities. Color change bedding and furniture gives plenty of versatility to the look.

Getting Ready for the New Year

My new Dutchie kitchen looks like a real cook's kitchen circa 1920. Lucky for me there are things to do in this kitchen besides cook!

The Laundry Room

Dutchie has put laundry on my mind. She released this remarkably detailed and beautiful period laundry room complete with appropriate (and inappropriate) animations for my washing up roleplay fantasies. It also makes me grateful for my washer and dryer. Laundry was hard work back in the day! But never fear, my Dolly maid is planning on some fun. The adult version of this table folds more than laundry!

Also adorably sexy is my mesh maid costume from Provocation. Now all I need is the butler!

After I Log Off the Fun Begins

Strawberry Singh has given us two ideas for this week's meme/challenge. The first one captured my imagination enough to ponder it for awhile so I had to peek in at Dolly's offline life. The second requires me to grab one of my friends for a picture, so I might try that later this week.

Meme Suggested by Mr. Winter Jefferson: “What does your avatar get up to after you log out?”
Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in [Berry's] comments and if you decide to do any pictures with this challenge, please share them in the Blog Memes flickr group.

To be totally honest, Dolly manages to go her own way at times even when I'm logged on, so I wasn't particularly surprised to catch her primping for her next day's photo shoots and role play. She is vain and at times overly dramatic so I expect some sulking over this picture. I caught her rocking out to Billy Joel's "You May Be Right," and singing into her hairbrush!

Home Show Goodies from Digs

The Home Show is a new home and garden event that just opened and will last until the end of July. It takes up two sims and is filled with top notch designers' new and exclusive releases. Digs' new releases include an interesting casual living room grouping called Ferryside. The table, tray,  sofa, matching chair, and lamps are all part of the grouping. Everything has texture changes for easy customization. Also shown is the Ryker bentwood slatted chair, the Healy ottoman, and in the next photo is the Emmet desk and possibly the best desk chair in Second Life (not because it's naughty, because it's exactly what I want for my real life desk chair).

I added plants from Dutchie and a rug and wall art from Trompe Loeil to round out the room. HERE is your taxi to the Home Show. It sets you down right by Digs and What Next on the second sim.

Dolly's Acrostic Poem - A Strawberry Singh Meme

Who knew I was such a poet? I guess Strawberry Singh knew because this is the second time she has challenged bloggers to a poetry meme. This one is an acrostic poem, using my name as the first letters of each line of the poem. Here's my creative process - I wrote down a word for each letter. D - Does, O - Only, L - Life, L - Love, Y - Yet. How I ended up with this poem is a mystery that resides in my head.  

Does she change her hair too much?

Only when she's breathing.

Life for her is lived as such.

Love for hair is fleeting,

Yet she ought to be deleting.

The sink and hair dryer are part of Dutchie's exquisite new bathroom release. I used one of the animations in the sink for this picture.

When It Rains

Sometimes I get tired of dressing Dolly up in the latest fashions and still want to mess around in Second Life. Shocking, I know. I've had this new Tee*fy release on for two or three days and HAVE NOT EVEN BOTHERED TO MATCH MY SHOES TO IT!

Whew, with that upsetting confession out of the way, I'll tell you what I've been doing instead - dressing up my homes. Dolly's got several you know. She's quite the jet/teleport setter. I seem to fall in love with all of the latest Barnesworth Anubis releases, and the rainy Parisian skybox at Collabor88 is my new love.

Mixing and matching furniture designers is as much fun as mixing clothing designers. My credits may seem kind of vague, so feel free to leave a comment below if you can't tell where I got something. Also, if the pics seem a little dark, well - I was feeling artsy fartsy and it was raining outside my skybox!

Enlightened Avatars

Dutchie just released a yoga mat with lovely relaxing yoga animations that play out in sequence.  It's a great place to park your avi while you stretch offscreen.  I feel positively enlightened.  The potted plants behind me, from left to right, are from Rustica and Dutchie.

Also, to my great pleasure, I found that PicMonkey has a cool bokeh feature.  I don't usually use PicMonkey for editing because I'm always afraid I'll overdo it!  Slap me if I do, but not this time.  This is exactly how I feel after a good yoga class, sparkly and relaxed.

March Collabor88 Goodies

I'm only halfway through unpacking my Collabor88 purchases, so I'll make this a quick post.  The Fashionably Dead shorts, Tres Blah socks and saddle shoes, and LISP table with nerd bookends are early favorites from the March Collabor88 offering. 

I got distracted from further unpacking by the sudden need to furnish my new Barnesworth Anubis skybox, also from Collabor88.  The furnishings (straight out of my inventory) are from Dutchie, Post, LAQ, UrbanizeD, and LISP.

Let's Play

Come into my library and take a look at my leather.  Chairs that is.  Dutchie has released an entire mesh grouping - bookcases, lamps, a fireplace, rug, side table, candlestick and even an ancestor to hang over the mantle.  He's there to watch over the adult games that are sure to take place in the sexy chairs designed for the domme or dom roleplayer and their happy victims.  I can't wait to see Clay.  He'll be putty in my hands.  Bwahahaha!

This was the perfect excuse to try out my friend April's Domme poses at Alterior Motions, her adult only animation and pose store.  And yes, the crop is included with the set.  Do I look fierce or what?  I think great grandpa behind me approves.
