Post #49 I'm Outta Smokes

Going through my old 'premade' outfits again, and sometimes updating older things that just look ridiculously tacky, I came across this one which I figured I could salvage.  I always gave my outfits the weirdest names, this one was called "I'm outta smokes".  What on earth possessed me to name it that?  I guess I must have been outta smokes at the time.  Nonetheless, i still think the style holds up, although I did add some new shorts to it from Jane, and my fave flats by Roly-Poly.  I didn't realize the hair was not for sale till I went around getting links for stores, otherwise I would have thrown on something still available.  

I still really like this backpack from COCO.  It is one of the best fitting prim bags for the back I've ever owned, and it's cheap like borsht.  Kind of gives me a scholarly look.  Would go really well with some nerdlinger glasses.  I went to Peppermint Blue to see if they still had the yellow bikini top I was wearing but they are a cafe now, not a cornucopia of freebie stuff, haha.  I stopped to take some pix though.  Loved the build.

Just walking around the building.  I can see why the Jane shorts are on sale.  They are not standard sizing and I could probably fit a small dog down the front of my pants!

Wonder what's in the backpack...

Post #38 Aphrodite Hair

Three new Lelutka hair releases today.  Boy was that store packed!  I just grabbed the demos and went home to try them on.  They all looked kinda not great on me, but this one, Aphrodite, just went with my new sweater from Chemistry.  Of course I'm wearing the Ronsem skirt again I can't seem to remove it from my body.  Until I find another mini skirt it will be a mainstay in my inventory!

I was feeling pretty mossy, and this spot at Noweeta Grassland, that I like to frequent often but don't like the music, seemed the perfect spot to take some spontaneous photos.  Loved the jeep.  Some guy was saying "hi" to me and I was too busy trying to get my eyes to look straight so I apologize to nice guy for ignoring you!

Sowwy!

Post #29 The Bird is the Word

Checked out the new faMESHed event and there were some pretty nice things there.  Of course I made a beeline to the Celoe/Mon Tissu & Wasabi Pill booths.  I bought the pants first and thought, okay I have so many of these MonTissu shirts already I must have something else to go with them, but nothing looked as good as the shirt that came with the pants.  I headed out to a nice place where I might have a picnic because those pants just made me think of a sunny day filled with barbequed chicken.

I met that little bird on the fence.  She didn't move or anything so I decided she would become my friend, or perhaps teach me to fly.  I was thinking maybe she would think I was a bird too since we were both wearing orange... hehe.  Did I mention those pants are awesome!  I love the way they fit.

She just stared at me and i stared off into space, growing impatient.

Finally I started flapping my arms hoping she'd talk to me, she didn't.  She was a plastic bird.  I was depressed for the rest of the day and pigged out on what was left of my burned chicken.

Post #22 Feeling Like a Blue Bird

Never being one to pass up a good photo opportunity, I jumped on this really cute swing at the "Pose Fair".  It was located at most awesomely decorated store, Lost Angel.  They had some really awesome props there.

Last fall I got hooked on Mamboo Chic skins.  They have some free ones at their older store on a lucky board, and if you join their group you can get skins every once and a while.  I paid 300L for it, I think.  This is one of the gifts, Olivie.  It's a 'bit' orangey, but I really do love how it looks.  I call this one mid-age.  I wear Mynerva and I feel really young, I wear Dutch Touch and I feel much older.  This is kind of in the middle.  

I got this top and jeans at Oyakin.  Around the time I got the skin.  I really like the two together.  So sweet and cute.  Went great with the prop.  Just kinda hanging out all flowy and stuff.  The top is doing strange things while I am posing, lol.  But when you are standing around, even in an AO, it is all lined up and not sticking out of your breastbone.  What can I say I don't do much editing in my pix.  So unprofessional, I know.

Post #4 Finding Places

I have been teleporting around SL the last few days trying to find places to take pictures.  I have been using the Destination Guide, but I haven't really found anything I liked.  Mostly the textures at the places I end up at look just bad.  Not smooth, fake wood and gold etc.  It's pretty hard to find stuff.  I am starting to realize the most beautiful sims are ones that have good stores.  I was at The Dressing Room Blue today to pick up an Atomic skin, and I just thought, oh they have this decorated so nice!  There were a few people there and I really didn't want to start whipping out my poses and standing in corners and stuff.  I'm sure no one would even noticed but I would feel so weird, lol.  I did manage to get a shot standing next to the curtains though.  Timing my AO to not have my hand sticking through my head or anything.

I decided, ah frick it, and went to the same studio where I did my Maitreya red dress.  I found some sort of cubicle filled with balls and took pictures in that instead.  They have some pretty interesting poses.  This unit i photographed myself in must have been devoid of gravity because my hair stayed pretty much the same.  Pretty amazing!

Oh, it's just sort of falling down.  This is Truth's new mesh hair "Barbara", it comes with a flexy add on if you want to have that flowy look added to it.  It's pretty nice.  I gave up on Truth a while ago, well I owned most of their stuff and the new things coming out were pretty much looking the same and I was also looking for some funky styles (found a place called Burley for that, great cool haircuts!)

I'm not a zombie, I just have my hands on some balls yanno?

I love this top I picked up at The Dressing Room, by House of Fox.  If I were to look at any blog right now it would most likely be in it's original shape.  Long and more like a dress.  Now I know the designer worked really hard giving it lots of detail because I had to completely move every prim to fix it (I like to walk around in my clothes and don't like it when my hips and ass stick out - these people must think we are sticks, the alpha layer didn't work at all it was way way too skinny).  I made it much shorter than it's advertised at, but you know, it looks good.  I suppose if I was just posing I could wear it the way it was made, but I'm way too jumpy and squirmy.

Loving the new skin!  The Lien line from Atomic.  I had to add some bronze lipstick to it though because everything I have gotten from them has been pretty much red lips.  and LOOK AT THOSE CLAWS! They are even blinged out!

So I guess for now it's taking pictures outside of all my favorite stores or in studios.  I have a pretty nice beach house and a cool skybox too and lots of furniture.  Maybe I'll start setting up scenes if I get uber ambitious.
