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.

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.

Life Is Good at the Beach

I hopped straight over to the Liaison Collaborative to check out the new home and garden offerings. I was particularly interested to see 22769 Bauwerk's changing room beach buildings and accessories. Not only are they darling, but the changing rooms are an example of the new shiny (literally) in Second Life, Materials. If you look at the blue and white planks, you can see the subtle use of this new building aid to give depth to the flat surface of the board textures. It changes as the light changes. Very cool and like magic to me. So far you can only see Materials on the Second Life Beta viewer, but it's coming soon to your favorite viewers.

As for my outfit credits, I see no point in a list for this post. The hat hair is from Maitreya and the bikini from Baiastice.

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!

Home Is Always A Work in Progress

I try to blog regularly, but I got distracted after going to see the beautiful Neva River, which is only open to the public for a limited time.  It inspired me to redo my little bit of Second Life, and I borrowed liberally from Neva Crystall's vision.  See her blog HERE for more information.  The Studio Skye path leading to the steps of the house, and indeed the house from Culprit, I discovered by wandering her sim.  The tree tunnel from Studio Skye is a particular favorite. 

I added a pond in front of the house.  To the rear is a bay.  On the right side of the house is a stream that begins with a waterfall.  I find water features restful and in Second Life they're also prim savers if you have terraform rights.

I can't - nor would I want to - exactly recreate Neva's beautiful sim.  I'm adding elements from it and giving credit where it is due.

The trees are from Deco and Botanical, grasses from Rustica, rocks and waterfall from Studio Skye.  The pictures are raw shots with Annan Adored windlight settings and shadows turned on. 

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.

I want to ride my bicycle

A bloggers work is never done. Even in the middle of winter, through blizzards, hail and high winds, we are out scouting for new inspiration. Just happens I didn't have to look far for this picture. My little corner of the grid is gorgeous and sometimes forget it when I am out looking at locations for shoots.

The bicycle is from What Next. I already had a few but this one is for bloggers so I had to have! Also the hair is new from Truth and comes with a colour change scarf. Adorable! The rest you can find below.

Do you ever get that urge come midnight? You know the one where you are horny and alone. Ever scrolled through your phone in the hope that someone might just be available to pop over to fulfill your needs? No, neither have I.

Changing the subject quickly. I love this dress from Cracked Mirror. You'll find it at this months FaMeshed and it comes in a multitude of colours.

We're Homeward Bound

I snuck round to Dolly's for inspiration today. Her land is right next door to me and she has all sorts of props and poses dotted around the place. In the first picture I borrowed her horse from Focus Poses. Isn't she a pretty thing?

Now to the clothes. I am a bit behind with all the events and sales, so the other day I did a little catching up and I landed at FAIR where I got this snugly coat from Zenith.  The scarf is from last winter but it is still available FREE at Mr Poet  (You'll find it upstairs). It's colour change and definitely one of my favourite winter warmers. The rest of my outfit you can find credited below.

In this second picture I used a pose I got from Adorkable at last years winter gatcha event. It is quite serene and reflective and it gave me the idea to capture that against water.

Sway's Gacha Clocks

A new round of The Arcade Gacha begins in December, which creeps scarily close! I have always been a great admirer of Sway Dench's work since I stumbled across her store years ago. The textures, attention to detail and pure awesomeness of her work never fails us!

These 'Spirit' clocks are so damned adorable and you will get your chance to win them soon when The Arcade Gacha opens. Bye bye Linden dollars!

Collabor88 Goes to the Desert

There's always something to love at each new Collabor88 cycle, and November is no exception with its painted desert theme.  For me, the item that made me say "wow" was the Cheeky Pea Sweetwater Outdoor Room set, complete with authentic looking Southwestern furniture and an adobe structure.  I'm teasing you with just a little peek of the sideboard, rug, cacti, mirror and vase.  Don't skimp, get the entire set - you know you want it. 

Don't stop there!  Practically everything I'm wearing is from this month's Collabor88.

There is still no cure for mornings...

...but coffee helps. I was up at the crack of dawn this morning so I jumped on and checked out some of this weeks new releases. I ended up at Maitreya and loved this sweater dress. I imagined me throwing something like this on first thing in the morning to get up for coffee, then have a good slob around in it. I imagine you can dress it up a bit too, but I'm in a lazy mood so this suits me!

Welcome to Hell

The Costume Ball starts later today (12pm SLT) and here is another little sample of what you can find there. This mesh Sexy Devil Costume is from Cracked Mirror. It comes with the pitchfork, a tail and horns (which i just realised must have come off when I was getting this picture prepared, sorry!).  It's makes me feel deliciously naughty!

This dress is another stunning creation from our friends at 22769 Casual Couture and it's available at the Fair event which started on 20th October and runs 15th November.  I love the colour, the pattern, the detailed folds and creases and it hugs my figure perfectly! Nice one boys!

This is the first time I have used projectors in my pictures. It comes in very handy for indoor shots when shadows are impossible to get unless you aren't completely closed in. Very nifty I must say!

Breaking the Bank

After all the shopping I've done in the past week, including a good few fatpacks, now is the time to jump online to check my bank balance. I am good at keeping some money tucked away for a rainy day, but just recently there has been way too much temptation and I am only half way round the Cinema event!

The news isn't good. It looks like little piggy is going to take a hammering so I can go out and buy the new Slink hands everyone is raving about. It's a shame, look at her sitting there looking after pennies, but needs must! Look away, pig slaughtering isn't for the faint hearted!

I love this Rebel Hope dress. It's simply elegant and beautifully designed. You can find it at this months Fameshed event, along with a whole array of other meshy goodness. My poor, poor bank balance. I'm going to have visit the bank manager and sweeten him up for an overdraft!

I nipped over to the new Fair event and got this adorable sweater and matching socks.  As soon as I saw them I knew my next post was a bedroom shot.  I'm not in it often enough these days, so it was a good excuse. Morag seems to have taken over the bed though. Pets, they think they own the place!
