These Are Days

Ayla and I went to the newest My Attic at the Deck event (SALE!) and both fell in love with the Baiastice corset. Of course I had to get a picture and blog it. One of our favorite things to do in downtime is to dance, so that's what we did. Guess what was playing in the background on my iTunes?

52 Weeks of Colour - Bright Turquoise by Ayla

Turquoise comes a close second to pink as one of my favourite colours so I was well chuffed when coldLogic brought out some bright, dazzling spring clothes.  This colour combination went well together so I paired them up for this weeks colour challenge.  The picture is taken at Alirium, one of the bestest sims on Second Life!

Close your eyes and listen

It was only when I dug out my radio and was setting up for today's pic that I realised I needed the mesh closed eyes from Slink! They took a bit of fidgeting about with, I had to shrink them considerably because my eyes aren't so big, and I took some time to get the shading right, but it was all relatively easy.

Today's clothes are mostly all old news, but I'm starting to dig into my inventory instead of buying something new each time I blog.  The hair is a group gifty from Magika and it went so prettily with my blouse.

The good news today was I didn't have to spend ages smudging those pesky grids lines, the photo is almost unedited apart from a smidge of glow to bring out the shadows and a crop and frame.  I am really enjoying messing with shadows, and to think I could have had them ages ago if I had known all I needed was a graphics driver update!

22769 - Depraved Madness Hunt

I got me some attitude going on this morning.  For some reason these shorts from 22769 bring out the brat in me.  Not that I have to dig that deep to find it.  When Mr Q saw me like this last night he called me Avril Lavigne then continued to chastise me like I was a child.  The nerve!

You'll find these nifty shorts at A Depraved Spring Madness Hunt which runs until the 15th of April.  Hunters are looking for a - yeah what is it, an ice hockey puck, an ear plug? A small cylinder?  Hunt hints: Slap the orange hint giver on the events wall for current hint - it whispers in open chat.

Right, I'm off to look for my Sk8er Boi!

52 Weeks of Colour - St. Patrick’s Blue by Ayla

I've done nothing but blog this week it seems, and I had totally forgotten to look for something for the colour challenge.  Just as well I took break on Friday afternoon for a spot of retail therapy and found this over sized tshirt from Jane.  I paired it with my capri denims from Zaara and dusted off the flippity flops I got last summer from Maitreya.  All I needed to do was fix my wig, and today I'm wearing Magika's mesh hair.

52 Weeks of Colour - Avocado by Ayla

Mr Qinan and I celebrate our first wedding anniversary tomorrow, so we've been hiding out on a tropical island for a few days of sun, sea and sex.  Our surroundings are beautiful, so this week my colour challenge picture is taken on Oahu at our gorgeous tiki holiday home and i've got my summer groove on.

52 Weeks of Color - Avocado by Dolly

 

Avocado was an easy color for me for this week's color challenge.  I wear it a lot in Second Life and in my real life!  While I had lots in my inventory to choose from, Jane just released her Spring collection and I couldn't resist this oversize tee shirt.  I'm also wearing a new mesh Magika hair, Glam Affair Linn skin and SLink mesh rigged feet.  The pose and window pose prop are from Adorkable.
