Rock the Ganesha!!


It was just the right time for the sun to fall into it's slumber for the next few hours. She was wearing a simple outfit, one given to her by a friend from the adventures in the land of the Taj Mahal, and she was going to have some fun tonight. She wore her heels, and her hair pulled back, and even had her cigarettes with her. Oh yes, the nightclub was definetely going to be her ring. She was much more than ready to claim her title, as the greatest beauty of the night. She walked past the cafe, tried not to look inside, but failed. There he was, the man that could have been, but never was. He was sipping coffee, while talking to an older lady. She sighed, and walked past the cafe, while thinking pretty things. This was not going to be a good night after all. She got the lighter and drew a cigarette from her clutch, turned it on, took a drag of air, and walked on to the club.

Fields of Gold

She had heard of the fields since childhood. She had even seen images, but till now she had never seen the land that was to become hers. The Golden Fields, as they would name them, were to be the greatest gift from her father to her, and thus her whole inheritance. Today she finally decided to walk the long path to the empty greenhouse in the fields, to the very olden train that had brought her family into the very town she now lived. The ashes of a life long past, memories long forgotten, dreams that would fail, and hopes that would feed into her lifeblood. Today she stood up straight and tall, and found her identity amidst the past long forgotten in the golden fields. This would be a future.

Le Imagination

Did I not say that I had twenty million pictures of me wearing nice stuff in my inventory that I never even looked at twice? Ah well, here I go with some of these images. Mind you, some are month's old. Some are just a little old. Memory is usually good with me, so I have a feeling I will be able to give you where things come from in the images, and also what inspired me. But this post is just random for now hehe.


This picture above, was taken at Tableau and is a simple idea I had. I had always loved teacups. and TOSL created a lovely dress with the shabby chic idea of teacup prints. I of course had to wear a cardigan because my arms needed to be covered up. Yes an rl peeve I have that follows me in sl usually.

Someone's knocking on the door...


The Labyrinth of SL and RL had me caught within it's trappings for months on end. But even a long labyrinth has an exit or an intermission. Thus here I am again talking about some of my findings in sl. First and foremost, I have realized that to me sl and rl fashion is not just about the names of the designers but about what they design. Not every darling designer is one that I adore. Many times, I buy their pieces and then end up never wearing them. So I have learned that much like rl, there are some pieces that are just, "NOES!!!!!!!!!". Just because Chanel is Chanel does not mean that all of the new designs are great, sometimes one must wonder, "What were they thinking?" when you see some pieces. So here is a look I did come up with today. It is relatively simple, I often times am elaborate and I have realized that simplicity is sometimes the key to a great look. It is also summery and ultimately is a great look for a summer resort outing in sl. Or just an idea to wear for rl.

The design of the skirt is relatively simple in mind. It is a somewhat pleated white and red skirt with a simple gray tank and a gold chain necklace. The hair is long and shows the amazing breeze in the beach, and the flip flops are gold. The bag is a somewhat odd combination of an older gingham bag that was lying around in the house. See simplicity is key in this look. Not too many layers of clothes and just one necklace. No overuse of color except on the skirt.

Or a Mexican Riviera holiday, what do you think? Tableau was a great sim to have the images taken it. I have so many wonderful pictures from that sim.
