Minty Stroll

That guitar looks mighty tempting, too bad I have no musical talent. Maybe if I grabbed a few pennies and tossed them into the well I could wish for some. I don't think that is how it works so maybe I can just find someone to teach me. And maybe another teacher for the piano. Oh I know instead of collecting objects I shall collect teachers. Let's see first on the list a guitar teacher, then a piano teacher, then maybe I could learn the violin.

I better get a move on, that is a lot of instructors to find and instruments to rent, or buy. Oh I wonder if I can add a vintner to teach me the fine art of making wine!

Pinks and Whites

Holy cats I am wearing pink! I know it's a shocker but sometimes I just give in, especially when it is adorable. How adorable is this dress? It seems so perfect for a chilly winter day, like today.

This dress comes with a HUD that allows you to change the color of the turtleneck. I have to admit I am loving this trend of having HUDs that let you change certain elements of an outfit. Hmm I also realized that it almost looks like I have no eyes in that last picture. I swear I have eyes.

Sailing Away

Dress for a day out sailing he said. Well I went all cute and nautical because well that seemed to make sense. How was I supposed to know he had more of shorts and sneakers in mind? Whatever though I looked cute in my dress and heels.

He did warn me not to stand so close to the edge with the deck being wet and everything it makes it really slippery...

I guess I should have listened!

Paperdolls - Day one

I know not a very creative title. Here is the premise for this series of posts, for a while on plurk Aevalah would post a paperdoll link and a bunch of us would make one and share them. I thought it would be fun to try and mirror those looks in SL, with a little creative license because some things are harder to find than others.
This is the first one I attempted. As you can see I tried to keep the basics the same, but changed up the socks and things like that. For the record all the peperdolls this week are going to be of the non-fantasy type, because those are so much harder.
Oh and I tried to pick things with various colors so you won't be seeing a weeks worth of yellow.

Cinderelly and Gus

Cinderella may have been a busy worker, but then I got to her and she caught my lazies. I mean I can't tell you the last time I was on my hands and knees scrubbing a floor. Then again I don't think I have ever made clothes for mice or went to a ball. Still I don't think I would trade lives with her, besides I already have my prince. Yup I said it and yup I am that cheesey.
I think my Gus is a little cuter than the one Cinderella hung out with. I also don't have to worry about this Gus getting chased by Lucifer (so didn't understand the name of the cat till I was older). I will be playing catch up with the rest of the characters that I haven't gotten too. I would be lying if I didn't say getting back into the back to school groove hasn't thrown me off. I am sure you would just rather have the credits so here they are.

Flotsam and Jetsam

It's another Disney Bounding post, and this time it's Flotsam and Jetsam. If you don't know who they are they are the eels that were Ursula's minion in The Little Mermaid. I just did a search for teal in my inventory and went from there. And my picture cohort hit up 100 Block and The Dressing Room Fusion (which you need to hit today if you haven't for the current collection! I had fun visiting a new place to take the pictures, if you haven't picked up the box of landmarks you really should (get them here).

Snow White and Rose Red

I was trying to figure out how I wanted to photo these gorgeous dresses and jackets from lassitude & ennui. As I was dressing myself I suddenly for the idea of going for a Snow White and Rose Red sort of color combination. Since the dresses are separate from the jackets you can mix and match, which is what I did for Snow White.
If you couldn't guess those are some shots of the dress and jacket together. How pretty and delicate is that netting overlay on the skirt?!?! So if you want it now you need to dash over to the Fantasy Faire, the Crimson Fields sim.

Peadar Pan

So I heard about this Disney Challenge and I just had to do it! This weeks challenge was Peter Pan, and well since it is St Patrick's Day today I went Gaelic righting Peter. If I screwed it up blame Google and not me okay? Oh I should show you me Peadar Pan huh?

I was a little worried that it wouldn't read as Peter Pan, so I asked my RL hubby. He took one look and said  "It's Peter Pan right?". Yup sometimes I am just that insecure. Well I am off to go drink some beer and maybe eat some gold, well chocolate coins.

LOTD - Sweet Mint

I'm Phire in a wondrous land. It's kind of like Alice in Wonderland, but there were no mushrooms, cakes or teaparties. Sad I know. Maybe next time. I hit up Fashion For Life the other day and picked up this adorable mesh dress, that come complete with a hair bow! How cute am I? Here take a better peek.

LOTD - Spring Softness

I needed a dose of soft spring-like colors today. After months of dreary grey days I am looking forward to the pastel palate of Spring. It's just so soft and girly, and of course there is some yellow too. The skirt just makes me want to flounce about and make it floof all around me. Floof is a word, at least in my Dr.Seuss inspired existence it is. I am sure you want the details so here they are!

Playing with Patterns - Florals

Today is the last installment of my "Playing with Patterns" posts. While it was only four days, it was a fun four days. Today I played with floral patterns. It was a bit trickier than I had expected. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of floral prints out there, but I didn't want to end up looking like an old ladies living room. I kept the top simple to achieve that...I hope.

If only the weather was as bright and spring-like as my outfit.

Ghost White Art

Here is is Humpday and another color to be seen. If you couldn't guess from the title the color is ghost white. I don't think I look at all ghostly, but I am wearing white.

Of course you can't really see all my white, since I am trying to become one with the art. I don't think I am doing such a great job though. Maybe I should work on my camouflage skills.

Autumn Rose Gold

I am very indecisive at times, one of those times happened to be today. You see I shot this picture several times from different angles each time and ended up with three favorites. I took me a few hours to settle on the one I liked best. The others are up on flickr though, if you like one of the others better, by all means say something so I know for the future! That being said, today I was feeling a little in the mood for something Autumnal and golden, and I had read that dusty rose was the new "it" color, so that is how I ended up here. Why don't I show you the fancy free pictures.

As you can well see, shades of gold and rose, with accents of browns in the mix. Oh and if you were wondering where my color posts have been, I am hoarding those for when I am away in RL....sneaky I know.

Wish You Were Here

I can't seem to get enough of bathing suits and bikinis this summer. Maybe because it's been so darn hot! I played with the borders and what not on this first picture because I just felt like it needed to be all postcard-y. Of course I realize now most postcards aren't square, but oh well.

Anyway I am wearing a little bit of this and that from some current events. The hair and bikini are bother currently at FaMESHed and the sunglasses at Collabor88. Okay the shades were moved a bit because the normally rest on the nose, but in the picture below I will show you why I moved them to my head.....

See if I hadn't then my hair would have eaten part of the sunglasses and I hate being a party to mesh canibalism. It's a nasty thing really. Anyway in case you couldn't guess on your own, the hair, bikini and glasses all come in an array of colors, so go pick the ones that suit you.

Lemon Chiffon Afternooon

I think I was in a dreamy mood when I took this picture, maybe it was from all the kids shows I have had to endure since summer vacation started.


This color was fairly easy for me, yellow being my favorite color and all, I had plenty to choose from. Though I did have to work to find something I haven't blogged yet. Oh well.

Retro Flair

Just a little retro stroll. I am late to the Collabor88 party this month, but better late than never, especially because there was yellow to be had! I have been told that yellow is well basically yellow is a bitch of a color, so whenever is see a bunch of it in one place I squee with joy. And the Schadenfreude dresses at Collabor88 have yellow...and other colors too. It was hard picking just one for this post, but I managed. Since the dress has it's own inherent retro vibe I decided to play that up as best I could. In this case I paired it with booties and the cute hair. Oh and a new necklace from Lasaki, which is the first to come with a color change HUD so if you can have whatever color you want.


Look at all the things!

An angel, fairy and demon walk into a bar

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but it's not it's the beginning to a bad Phire story. Wait my stories aren't bad! Here we go.....


Once there was a Blue Angel, a Purple Fairy and a Red Demon who decided they needed a night out so they headed to The Volcano Room. The Red Demon spotted a man sitting at the bard and decided they should have a little fun and see who could get the man to head home with them. Red the Demon loved to seduce humans so she figured it would be a cake walk. First up with Blue the Angel.


She took the approach of remaining aloof thinking that the man would easily want what it seemed he couldn't have. He eyed her up and down, but never really got up the courage to approach her. Next to try their luck was Purple the Fairy. She thought maybe cutting a rug with the man would be a good idea.


She had a blast dancing with the man and being close to him. Oh course she was too stunning to look at so the photographer completely forgot to photo her with the man. Finally it was Red's turn to take her spin with the man. She chose to do what she does best, drink with him.


Again the photographer was so entranced by her erm...assets that the man was left out of the shot yet again. I may have to fire the photographer. Sadly he didn't get a picture of who the man went home with either. I mean who could chose from all the beauties? Who would you choose?
