Music Monday - Men in Black

     Maybe this would have been a better one for last week with Halloween, or maybe back in September for the failed area 51 invasion. Oh well poor planning on my part, but here it is.


      Dressing the alien queen was fun and pretty easy once I figured out how I wanted to make her look. You can get a better look at her in the "look" picture below.


      This post is a brief one due to pain, but hopefully I will have a longer post later this week. Have happy Monday (or whatever day it is you read this)!

Party Girls!

I am not a nightclub kind of girl, I am more of a local bar kinda gal. That being said I have agreed to go to clubs with friends in the past, when I was younger of course. The only kinda club you would see me hitting now would be the sandwich kind. I will hit up a "club" in my digital life, but that is mostly to listen to music and pretend I am social. Why am I admitting all this? Well it's because of today's post.

As you can plainly see you are partying it up with laser lights! Woohoo! Or maybe we are just using a background and are actually at my house. You will never know...until you read the credits. We do look pretty cute if I do say so myself, and I do.

We just need some drinks in out hands to make the look complete. At least I want a drink, maybe a nice refreshing gin and tonic.

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.

Holiday Prep - Baking

      The holiday season is here and that is the reason I have been so quiet. I have also been working on another series of posts. I scoured the marketplace, yard sales and my inventory to find all the goodies in these photos. Today I will be showing you one of the baking areas of the North Pole. I got special permission from the big guy in the red suit. Of course there were some places I wasn't allowed to venture into, for instance his office where he keeps the naughty/nice list. Oh and his and Mrs. Claus' private home, but I understand that, I wouldn't want people traipsing about my home either to show to the world.

       Anyway this baking shop I checked was one of a few, the elves are always clamoring for cookies and cocoa. I don't blame them though, the cocoa I drank while there was the best ever. And the cookies! Oh my word they seemed to cater to everyone's taste.

      While I was there this elf was busy whipping up some icing for some sugar cookies she had just made. If my photos were scented this one would smell of sugar and vanilla and warmth. I am pretty sure I packed on 10 pounds just by looking at all the delicious cookies, not to mention the other sugary treats that they also make there. Tomorrow we will be taking a trip outside to check out the newest reindeer recruits!

Hard at Work

I have been a little quieter than I like lately. That is because I have been working in my non-digital life and haven't quite found the work/fun balance yet. Also sorting through data all day makes a person not want to look at the computer again, at least for me. I decided that I would make my SLife look like my non-digital life for these pictures. I mean there are a few differences. In this picture there are no cats trying to get cuddles while I work.


Luckily I work from home which is why there are cats and the occasional NSFW outfits. I do have to be covered up somewhat since my desk faces the front door. No one needs to come to the door and be greeted by a barely covered me. I may scar the pizza guy for life!

Dancing with a memory

I may be missing someone very much, or maybe I am trying to be "arty". It is quite possible that it is a combination of the two. I wish I could think of something wise or moving to say, but I got nothing today. Hopefully I will be more brilliant in the future, for now you can have the credits.

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the vainest of them all? I know today it is me because I look damn fine in this dress. See totally vain. Having a wall of mirrors to take to doesn't hurt, though if they start talking back to me I may become concerned. It would probably be over to top to wear my dress around the house to do chores in. Then again I am not above wearing a tiara while I clean the house. Then again a tiara can't really get ruined by bleach or other cleaning supplies.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't do my hair up in a fancy up do. Instead I have the "I just shagged" look going on. I mean I know I am still the vainest of them all, but maybe I should find myself a date and wear it to a fancy shindig. It's not wasted on me because I am my biggest admirer.

Trois Petits Danseurs

I will apologize right now if I terribly butchered the French language with my title. You see I never learned French and so I had to rely on Google Translate for it. If you are like me an only know certain words in French and none of those are them I will translate for you. The title says " Three Little Dancers", mostly because there are three of me. If you couldn't guess I did edit this picture, but I tried not to mess with the over all look of what I am wearing, I am still an super new at that sort of thing.

Now enough of that prattling and on to the clothing. If you take a trip to Uber you with find the dress and a trip to SOU by Creation.jp will get you ballet slippers. When I saw the two, separately I knew I would put them together. I even made a note of it on my shopping list. Yes I am that organized and make shopping lists for events in Second Life. Before I get on to talking about the virtues of lists I will post the credits.

Monocromatic Cutie

No stories or silly words today just your basic Look of the Day type a post. I figure it's been a while since I have done one. If you couldn't guess I was going for a more monochrome look today, because that is what the dress is called. It was fun taking more simple photos and I need to do it more often.
