It's Friday! YAY!

Honestly, I don't know why I'm so excited, the weekend for me just means more time sitting on my butt being anxious af!

So, I know I might squeal a little bit about Moss&Mink like, forever, but with today's post I wanted to try something a little different with Cielo's items, and it all boils down to the 20 colour/pattern hud that she's been working on forever. The hud is now universal, and has been for a little while - i'm just late to the party in terms of talking about it *cough*. The idea is that now, no matter what item you have rezzed out, you can use your universal hud (if it's compatible, and she's working backwards to make sure the majority of her store is up-to-date), to match the colour or pattern you want. That means if you have say.. the Bailey Bed, the Monique Vanity and the Shell Chair in your bedroom, you can click slide your mouse over each item, activating the universal hud and then change all of those items to match. When you're done, you just click slide your mouse off the product and WHAM you've got an entire room of matching furniture at minimal effort. Of course, you don't have to match, that's the beauty of Moss&Mink items! Even when they don't match, they sort of do.. so really it's leaving your creativity to run riot and make a home for yourself exactly the way you want to.

With today's post, I wanted to show a little that it's not just 'cute' furniture that can be pink. I mean, sure... who doesn't love a lil pink moment? But look... LOOK how bad ass Pickle is today... and Moss&Mink STILL manages to come through!

Anywho, check out Moss&Mink for yourself, or I'll hunt you down. (Not really, we've already discussed how lazy I am.)

Ahhh! How awesome is this siiiim!!! I'm legit freaking out over it, it is SO detailed, and beautiful, and it fits right in to the new Narcisse main store area.

Need to say a thank you for Mal being a creepy clown dude in the background... I didn't steal his credits because he's all blurry and stuffs, but if you need any details, feel free to comment/IM me in world (LollipopLace Resident), and I'll see if I can't persuade him to give them up!

The idea for this picture was supposed to be something far less malicious and actually included fairies (they'll be coming tomorrow), but as soon as I figured out this shot, I knew I had to be a "victim" in a scary movie. You just know that creepy Mal-Clown is gonna manage to trip me up as I attempt an escape from his clutches, and there'll be no more Pickle...

Not entirely sure why all the scary ideas are appearing directly after Halloween, probably because I'm always late to the party, but hey - at least I get there eventually!

I've been rocking my Genus head again for a few days, and while it's still technically in Beta and not released publicly again yet, it has been updated to omega, so I've been experimenting with hairbases, make-ups and other cool bits and pieces. I've worked out that most Logo appliers will work for the head, and that's due to the fact that Logo is omega based.

In other news, I've been really stinking lucky this week, and been invited to three new blogger teams. Now, I don't really know how or why this happened, but I was obviously over the moon when I was approached by the blogger managers for Culprit, Hextraordinary and The Enchantment event.

I don't like making a big song and dance over 'sponsorships' across social media, because I know how it feels to watch someone get a spot you were really hoping for, and while there's always going to be a "Yay congrats!" to them, my stomach does sometimes do a flip flop and make me wonder why I wasn't 'enough' to join that particular team.

The truth is, there are many reasons as to why you are or aren't selected for a team. I still feel like I'm not a 'real' blogger. I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable being all "Yeah, hi. I'm Pickle, and I'm a blogger." I have so much to learn, and there are so many different ways to present items... I just hope I do those who put their trust in me justice, and am terribly grateful to those who have supported my ramblings and pictures thus far.

Today isn't a good day in the world of Pickle.

I'm not entirely sure why, I just feel like I woke up with a case of The Moodies, and they've been impossible to shift.

How do I combat The Moodies? Well, firstly I take pretty pink and girly pictures featuring three of my favourite SL brands, Moss&Mink (The skybox, which you really need to see in world, because I've only shown a teeny tiny portion!), CandyDoll with the dress and boots (can you say adorbs?) and Essences for the lush skin that adorns my bootilicious body.

Secondly, I make changes.

Today this meant cleaning out my SL friends list. I like to keep my list around 100 people - that includes my alts (of which there are plenty, *cough*), my friends alts, and the occasional new person who pops their head in and has potential to become a friend too. 

Just because I remove people from said list, doesn't mean I won't be friendly. I'm picky, and weird, and not for everybody. 

Once again, I'll clear up that I LOVE taking pictures and having this blog. I LOVE the friends I have, and the good people I meet in SL, but it is becoming noticeably obvious to me that the friends I have are scattering (and rightly so) because of RL, and meeting new people without an agenda is either becoming more difficult because of the quality of people in SL, or because my mind has been so skewed by prior interactions, I just automatically place a negative on every new person I meet, and honestly, I'm not sure which is scarier.

Despite my mood, I know that this will pass. I know I'm adjusting.

Tomorrow is another day and I'm hoping that I wake up grinning, and ready to tackle everything with positivity again.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Please welcome Kat to Kaleidoscope today! I've known her for a little while, and she's managed to cling on all the while I was ill and weird af, and now, finally, we have a cute picture of us! Yaay!

We're kind of similar in the way that we don't mind changing our avatars up. Today you'll see we're both wearing the flat-chest v-tech mod. I've featured this a couple of times, but it really is wonderful in my opinion, and now that CandyDoll has begun rigging for the chest, along with the little boobies for the slink body, I figured it was only right to feature the boi's again!

I might even give the petite tata's a shot at some point, because; challenges!

Most of you will know I'm an avid overthinker. I'm never sure if I'm TOO effeminate with the femboy chest, but I figure there are many many different styles, and so for this particular postie, I went with girly boy, rather than boyish boy. Maybe i'll perfect the boyish boy too!

So I've been a little slack lately in keeping up on Adam Lavell's photo challenges. Due to what's going on in RL right now, there are several things I let slip - I apologize, but certain things are definitely more important to me right now. Anyway! The newest challenge started yesterday, and it's featuring the super talented Kristi Renae's sim "Lazy Daze". Essentially it's a haven for surfers, there's also an adorable pier type area with games and stores, plus a dance floor for some amazeballs parties!

It's very much family friendly - hence Little Pickle being featured today, so it's well worth a visit!

Finally I have a little respite from feeling gross! I'm well aware it's a work in progress right now, but I have brand new medication for the anxiety that causes my stomach issues and currently it seems to be doing what it's meant to, so let's keep our fingers crossed because the last couple of months have been horrific!

I have SO many ideas for blog posts right now and it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day, so please bear with me while I get back on track. I want to shout out again to RLD (Red Light District) which opened on the 15th, even though nothing is featured from there in this post, and also to the Secret Affair that is still ongoing - please make sure you check out those two events. I'm also well aware that Man-Pickle has been suspiciously missing this week, so be prepared for him to make a surprise visit at some point soon!

The beginnings of my RL changes are going to start this week, and while I am excited, I am also incredibly nervous, but it's a good nervous! This might mean I'm going to miss a couple of days here and there, or maybe - maybe, I'll manage double whammies some days. Who knows?

Anywho, I hope you enjoy Pickle trying to be bashful about the fact that she's just thrown 12 cupcakes into her bag as she faux-innocently offers you a wave before grabbing a fresh mug of hot-chocolate and runs off to explore the beautiful Luane's world sim!
