Life Happens

And I'm referring to the Brandon & Leah song by that name.... I haven't been active on the blog lately because, well - see above! 

I participated in today's 25L Tuesday event and with a few other recent acquisitions came up with a cute idea for this photo shoot! The Laura outfit and calf wraps are from On A Lark (both from 25L Tuesday) and I paired them with Noir's strappy Edith heels for a near perfect match. The beautiful Lucie skin (LAQ based with Omega appliers) and shape are in the current VIP woman's gift from 7 Deadly Skins (note the new location). I suggest you run, not walk, to grab it during the 5th Anniversary event before it's switched out. The Join Fee is currently 250L and is more than worth it for the gifts, specials and goodies Izara offers her VIPs. (If that's too steep for you, though, don't despair because there are 2 Midnight Mania boards and Daily Offers that do not require group membership.) Lastly, the hair is a Truth Hair VIP group gift called Carla (join fee is 350L and you get a free VIP only hair style every month plus periodic discounts and sales).

I get so moody when it rains as much as it has lately.....

For Nau Lang Syne

Okay, so I switched up the song a bit, but since returning to Second Life I've made more new friends than I've found old ones. One such new friend is the lovely, sweet and oh so talented LadyEllenT Resident. a relatively new SL member in comparison to my own (albeit interrupted absence) antiquity who knows more about our favorite time-waster than I've forgotten! She blogs for several retail stores in SL and is also an expert bargain shopper. She invited me over to "collab" on a photo shoot and I eagerly agreed! So I donned my newest favorite gown and we welcomed in the New Year in style! A little Dom Pérignon made the evening sparkle even more!

I'm still learning the ropes of this blogging business so it might be a while before I can return the favor, but I am certainly looking forward to future collaborations!
