Hand on My Heart

It's been a while since I've made a Second Life fashion post & there are a lot of reasons why. I haven't been on SL lately because I had a major falling out with a couple of my SL "friends" & I got a bit disillusioned since this is not the first time I've had a falling out with some people I thought were my internet "friends." I had to take a big step back & examine myself & my role in the events & the people I tend to gravitate toward & the drama I attract & participate in & produce, as well. It's not always just "everyone else" - it's also me, I have to take responsibility.  All of this "drama" was going on in the midst of some Real Life heath crisis I won't get into detail about now, but as some who REALLY me know, I am dealing with my own chronic illness, & other members of my immediate family have also unfortunately had to deal with their own types of sudden onset illnesses. I am in the role of caretaker for some of them, so there are a lot of stresses. I don't get into details as to preserve my loved one's privacy but let's just say I have been extremely consumed with grief & worry lately & it's very hard.

Even thought I tend to talk & share a LOT, I am actually a pretty private person & I don't tell many people ALL the details because everyone doesn't need to know everything. Everyone has their own major troubles they deal with every day. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about will know. If you don't know, then consider yourself lucky. So yeah, I needed a breather to asses all this "drama" because it really did hurt me & I needed to re-evaluate if I even wanted to continue to participate in the virtual world of Second Life, which suddenly seemed silly & like such a waste of time & money in the grande scheme of things when there are life & death matters on the table. My poor little hurt feelings & the so-called "friends" who were mean & just "didn't understand me" seemed like a waste of my emotion & honestly I don't feel like I have that many emotions left to spare.

Obviously, after about a month & a half of a break, I tentatively got back on SL, but it's a whole new experience now. I don't spend NEARLY as much time as I used to. I used it as a total escape from my life before, but now my life, as complicated as it is, doesn't need escaping as much for some reason. Just like in Real life  situations - maybe I realized that what I was escaping TO wasn't giving me the relief I was expecting anyway? I think I have a better perspective. I kept looking for deeper connections with people & failing. I'm not saying I hate humanity, but I think I am just coming to terms with reality better. I feel profoundly changed by the pain & I think it might be a positive thing. 

Yesterday, while sitting, cuddling with Nico, my new rescued kitten, on my patio in the warm Summer afternoon, listening to the mellow sounds of community radio, I actually wept because I was so happy. In spite of everything that has happened & everything going on I was happier than I had been in longer than I could remember. Hand on my heart.

Sorry no SLurls this time... I'm so lazy tonight! (Most of these stores are already Slurled in my blog on other posts, in my groups or profile picks OR just use search inworld!)

Vershe & Lamp*Light

The other day I made a post welcoming Lamp*Light to the NOP~ Hong Kong Mall & told you I was going to blog about the cute free bloomers that the super sweet & funny owner, Alice, (follow her blog here!) was giving away. Well, I got them & they are SO fun: totally tintable to any color with the use of an editable hud (just follow some easy instructions on an included notecard,) & the option to turn the eyeballs on & off. I wore them to a jam-packed club & got compliments galore!

As I was putting together the look around my bloomers, my friend Jada Kolda told me about the new store *VERSHE* by Vershel Iadyl & hooked me up with some awesome review copies of some really cute items that I liked so much I went to the store to look around & I ended up buying a few more things! I urge everyone to go check out *VERSHE* for themselves.  

The store is set up very tastefully & there are some really very cool items, like the spring belts, the McQueen tights, & lots of really cute shoes, just to name a few things, (all of which I will blog soon because I bought them!) But for now I am going to show you a cute skin & one of the shoes! You can find the store on the Marketplace but if you go inworld there is more of a selection as well as Midnight Mania boards, Group Gifts & some fun hunts going on in the store! Thanks again to Jada. Please go support the store & be sure to follow Jada's awesome blog! 

Here's the look I put together based around the *VERSHE* Skin & shoes & the Lamp*Light Bloomers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

*VERSHE* Camille Tan Skin, Oh Marilyn (I added Freckles & Dimples from L.Fauna but the skin is very pretty & smooth, with no seams or flaws I could detect. I'm just addicted to freckles! I got more skins from VERSHE & will blog more & try to refrain from freckles next time so you can see the skin better, I promise! :P)

Candy Heartbreaker (Belated Valentine)

I meant to post this on Valentines Day, but some desktop computer issues, (which my poor boyfriend Ted stayed up all night & most of the day working on) & my lack of good or speedy photoshop skills & also the fact that I had to take a break to do some first life activities, (like go visit my Mom's new puppy. As you know we were trying to find a name for him. We have settled on "Ricky," but my Grampy wants to call him "Micky," like the mouse, because he's so small, but we don't like that, so we are locked in battle over this, lol,) Anyway, I was only able to use my laptop to post music blogs recently because it won't run Second Life. There are still some issues, but I was finally able to get through a few hours of walking around to gather my SLurls for this outfit I have been wearing a couple days & posing for pictures long enough to deliver you a belated Valentine. It actually worked out ok, because when I woke up yesterday I discovered that my friend Kiba Tachikawa, the owner of Actuate Eden, just put out a great face tattoo inspired by the G-Dragon song & video Heartbreaker that REALLY finished of my Valentines look & if I had posted earlier I don't think it would have been quite the same <3
