Ctrl Shift H Challenge

I’ve been meaning to do this challenge since I saw it on Meara’s blog and I finally got around to actually taking snapshots of my place.  I really love where I live and I spend pretty much 99% of my time in SL there.  Lately my little haven is about the only thing that makes me want to log into SL so I really appreciate having a nice, quiet place to just chill while I have to sort through IMs and notecards.  So this is where I Ctrl Shift H to.  :D

Do you like my ponytail?

Do you like my ponytail?
(I do! I do!)
My sideways ponytail?
(It’s true! It’s true!)

Yesterday I had a crappy day… so I decided to go shopping and I picked up this new hairstyle from Deviant Kitties because it’s fun and cute and I immediately thought of the song “Sophisticated Side Ponytail” by Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head.  They are a guilty indulgence of mine and I love that song.  Also included in my retail therapy spree was this pair of awesomesauce pants from [][]TRAP[][].  I even bought RL me some new kicks so overall, I’m feeling tons better today.  Yay!

Eat Rice Christmas Freebie

There’s tons of freebies out there right now and it’s hard to keep up with all of them, especially with all the grid wide hunts going on.  But here’s a freebie that totally caught my eye, this absolutely adorable hair, antler and ear set from Eat Rice.  It’s in the subscribe-o-matic as well as available on the wall in the shop.  Yay for kyoot hair!

Artilleri

Artilleri has been giving out adorable group gifts everyday and will continue to put out a new one until the 24th.  Talk about awesome and so incredibly generous!!  I’ve loved them all but I just had to show off this dress that should still be available.  Most people complain about system skirts but this skirt is an example of a system skirt done right.  To get the gifts you need to join the Artilleri group and have the group tag active when you buy the gift for L$ 1.  A huge thanks to Antonia Marat who really is just too sweet to do this for her group members. :D

Bare Rose Appreciation – Part 2

One of my favorite things about Bare Rose is that no matter what type of look you are going for, chances are you’ll find an outfit that will work for it and that’s really fun.  While Bare Rose is usually my first stop for fantasy related clothing, like the stuff I showed off in the last post, there’s so much more there.  So today I’m showing off two different looks, one cutesy and one glamorous. :D

Bare Rose - Retro Mojo

Bare Rose - Night Magic

Bare Rose Appreciation – A look back

It’s no secret Bare Rose is one of my top favorite stores in SL…. just a trip through my Flickr feed proves I’m addicted. I can safely say no one does fantasy better and it’s always my first stop whenever I’m jonesing for something awesome. Combined with ridiculously low prices and you’ve got epic win. I don’t even think twice whenever I pop in and something catches my fancy like I would if I was just about anywhere else. So when I saw Winter Jefferson’s post calling for a Bare Rose Appreciation week I just had to make a Bare Rose fan girly post. I’m going to start with this post looking back on some of my favorite Bare Rose outfits ever and tomorrow I’ll post something new! Warning, photo onslaught ahead! :D  (If you click the pics, most will have other outfit credits if you want to know more about what else is in the pic)

Wrath Gate

I just finished the Wrath Gate quest line in Dragonblight and it was easily the most amazing and intense experience I’ve ever had in World of Warcraft. I did the Alliance version and I can’t wait to do the Horde version on my Blood Elf toon. It’s amazing, if you do nothing else in WoTLK, do this chain. I’m still a little emotional over it.

Btw, The cut scene is up on YouTube for those out there who want to horribly spoil themselves, just search for Battle of Angrathar the Wrath Gate.
