The Birds Tell All

The little birdies carry all sorts of knowledge on their wings. The good, the bad and the ugly truth about happenings in other parts of the land. Listen I am trying to be mysterious here because I don't want to ruin the ending of Game of Thrones for those who haven't watched. The Final Winter events comes to it's end this weekend so if you haven't been and you are a fan of Game of Thrones or just roleplay in general you should go, go now! Don't even read the rest of this post...wait no scratch that, finish this then go.

I was attempting using some tools in SL with my photos this time. I think I need more practice, but that is not the point. The point is there are beautiful and unique things to be had at The Final Winter. I however am not one of the things available, but I do look good in the items.



Enjoy your shopping!

Sun Shining

      On of the best things about living in the south for me is the sunshine, even if we do have a love hate relationship. I love the sun, however my skin and the sun don't get along. I am either super pale, or red as Rudolph's nose. Luckily in my digital life that is not an issue.

      As you can see here I have combined my two favorite things, the sun and yellow. is it really any wonder that yellow is my favorite color? I mean who didn't use yellow at least once in their lives to color the sun? I was going to be a little wordier, but I have a ride to catch for some fun in the not sun ;)

Karen the Estate Agent

      This is Karen, she is an estate agent, she has been tasked with renting out a beautiful cottage with a spacious loft style bedroom.



      As you can see Karen is quite stylish and she takes her job very seriously. So seriously in fact that she reached out to a local cleaning crew Mouse House cleaners. She figured they specialized in small home cleaning and while the loft area was spacious the house wasn't too big. The reviews were glowing so she booked them right away. Little did she know that what she was expecting and what she was getting where not the same thing. When the day arrived for the cleaners to do their thing Karen stopped by to see their progress. Boy was she shocked by what she saw!



      You can see that her mistake was purely based on grammar and how she chose to read that company's name. In the end the mouse did a wonderful job getting the home all clean and shiny, and Karen will be doing more research before hiring a company again.

Wine Tasting

      One of the activities I enjoy in my non-digital life is to visit vineyards and wineries. In fact there is one just a few miles from my new house so you know where I will be on the weekends, It doesn't hurt that there is a distillery right down the street either! But that is not what I am about today. You see not all vineyards and wineries are the same. At some there are coolers where you can purchase nibbles, as seen in the picture below, at others these are not available. I personally enjoy the ones were I can pick up some nibbles to go with a lovely glass on whatever wine strikes my fancy.


      Some of the vineyards I have visited do have little outdoor seating areas where you and your friend(s) can go relax in the the sun while sipping away and chatting about whatever strikes you fancy. Now that I will be living closer to friends I hope to do this sort of thing more often, but don't worry I will still be here to write about some nonsense or another.

Wicked Witch

      Happy Halloween all you ghosts and ghouls and other things that go bump in the night. Today I am finishing off my witchy series with The Wicked Witch. As with the Good Witch I used The Wizard of Oz as one of my references for the Wicked Witch.



      As you can see I went with the classic green Wicked Witch skin, though I did skip the chin hairs and warts on the nose. It appears even as a Wicked Witch I still have vanity issues. Also with a name like Phire, you knew my witchy self had to toss around some fireballs, it's just too fitting.


      I am not going to bore you with a lot of talk today, I will be back to normal, well normal for me posts next week. Till then have a Happy Halloween and a great rest of the week!

Modern Witch

      There are quite a few shows that I could have used to inspire my modern witch, but since I am a fan of American Horror Story I went with the witches of the Coven and the current season for inspiration. Almost all the ladies have a standard "uniform" of a full black outfit. This was easy to achieve since I am not lacking in a black wardrobe.


      No witch worth her power would leave the house without her cell phone and a latte. Maybe that is just a me thing, since I can never leave the house without some caffeine and my phone.


      I think one of the things these Coven witches try to avoid in direct sunlight, at least that is what the hats and parasols seem to say to me. I don't blame them, if these witches are anything like me they burn in the sun. Hmmm, maybe I am a witch, it sure beats what my kids call me " The Irish Vampire".

It's Hair fair time!

      Fall is officially here and so it the 2018 Hair Fair. It arrived yesterday just like fall, and I was in bed with a cold for both, go figure. But I rallied myself and here I am with my first post. Now I could give you an onslaught of picture with me in my new hairs, but today is going to be in information filled post, maybe with a little hair thrown in. First thing is first, there are 4 sims with hair named Brunette, Blonde, Redhead, and Noirette. There are also two cam sims in case you can't get into the four main sims. Oh and for you guys out there this is not a ladies only event. There are quite some handsome styles for the fellas too, and they are all marked with a big giant symbol over the shop so you can't miss them. For a sneak peak at all the hair and their locations you should hit up the official Hair Fair Blog. That will show you the styles, give you the slurls, and the location of the booth on the sim!Now don't forget that this is a charity even and a certain percent of all sales will benefit Wigs For Kids. My own daughter has donated her hair to Wigs For Kids a couple of times. She loves helping other kids and you should like helping them too! Before I forget the hair fair runs to the 7th of October, so if it is full this weekend you still have plenty of time. Now How about I show you one of the hairs I purchased at the Hair Fair?


      As you can see for this first Hair Fair picture I chose a cute pony tail style. This is because it is the way I wear my hair most days in my non digital life. My hair does that curly wavy thing, so tossing it in a pony tail is a much easier way to deal with it. Now I know some of you have seen me wear clothes from {amiable} before, but this is new hair from the same creator. There is also a cute pigtail style, and a short bob type as well!
