I'm boy-Pickle today. I'm not sure if you're aware, but Muggleborn adds the option of 'pouches' to most of their clothing so that it can be worn realistically by femboys and ladies with penises. I'm all for diversity in SL, so this makes my heart very happy.

Seriously though, I've been seeing a butt-ton of nonsense on facebook lately, which just seems to be pulling people apart, and I was wondering - is that a direct result of social media?
Without the social media thingies, our opinions would be confined to those people in our lives that actually had some semblance of importance there. Now, your next door neighbours best friends cousin can be on your social media account because you waved at her once and when she sent you a friends request you didn't want to decline in case you offended your neighbour.
This whole social media thing is an absolute minefield. You don't share enough and you have the potential to be forgotten (especially if you're a blogger/creator within the SL world), and if you use it too much you're liable to say something eventually that has the potential to piss off an entire clique, thus spinning your 'reputation' into turmoil and potentially causing you to fall off the SL grid.
I really believe that while opinions aren't -usually- harmful, the way other people respond to said opinions can be. Not everyone needs to know your feelings. Not everyone needs to agree with you, and the truth is that if they do, you're probably surrounded by a bunch of 'yes men' that will likely shit talk you behind your back anyway, so sure, give us your opinions via social media, but don't get butthurt or defensive when your opinion isn't shared by all of your followers, and remember just as you seek respect for your opinion, others will be expecting the same for theirs, regardless of the content differing.
I took my picture today at my friend Juniper's sim. Now at the beginning I wasn't even really looking to take a photo, I was just being a nosy Pickle, but when I wandered around a little, I found there were some absolutely fabulous nooks perfect for photographs.
I realize I haven't shown much in this picture, but that should only encourage you to go and take a look for yourself! Please remember it is a roleplay D/s & BDSM area, and it is ADULT themed. Enter with a respectful mindset and I have no doubt you'll be at home.
For whatever reason, I have huge, huge issues multitasking. I used to be pretty good.. I could do homework, listen to music, and sometimes I'd even have the telly on too, be texting a bunch of different people and still hold a conversation. Now if I want to watch and notice things on TV I have to clear a space for me to do that. If I want to listen to music I need to hear the lyrics. If I want to have a conversation I need to only have that conversation, and not have any possible distractions... which obviously causes a certain amount of issues.
I often feel incredibly guilty for being all like "Hey, I'm doing something, let me get back to you." especially when that something is as simple as listening to music to pop in this here bloggity blog.
I think I frustrate myself more than anyone else. I get angry for not being able to do things with the ease others seem to, and as I've said before, being a bit of a people pleaser, it's really difficult for me to use the term no because I just feel like I'm failing.
The rational part of me knows this isn't true, it just means that my spoon usage is different!
Anywho. Today is Monday, and that means Man-Pickle is making his appearance. I had this look idea as soon as I grabbed some items from TMD (Opening today!), and I'm super glad the photo came out as it did. I've featured the Stray Dog skin & Hermony eyes, and of course, the hair covers the eyes and the shirt covers the skin, so i've added a little extra picture below for more detail. It's unedited in caIWL, on ultra.
Hopefully that'll give you a better of idea of the quality of the items - plus these eyes are EVERYTHING and I'll probably whack them on again in the other colours available.

I kinda think Man-Pickle looks a bit like Johnathon Rhys-Myers...
I've spoken very briefly about the Red Light District event currently going on, the new round opened on the 15th of June and once again they've bought a plethora of wonderful creators together to offer some amazing quality items all at the event.
I am going to drop the website >Here< , you can find a BUNCH of information (including my lovely picture on the blogger page - see if you can find my photo!) including designer details, pictures of products available at the event, and all the gossip about the winners of the coveted "featured designer" trophies so far! Seriously, don't miss out - I have absolutely adored covering RLD, it has been professional, original and quality since it started four rounds ago, and I'm excited to see how it develops along it's journey, and I genuinely believe that it adds realism to the over-saturated Event-Market that seems to be taking the SL world by storm. If you have a penchant for the adult side of SL, you WILL find something here for you, and regardless of my standing as a blogger for the event, I will stand by not only the management, but the quality too.

Can you guess what my inspiration for today's post was?
Usually at this point there would be a list of items in the background and a pose credit, but obviously, there's absolutely no point as this is just my face. I hope you'll continue reading, however, because I have a bunch of information about the Lotus skin & Eyes used in this image shown below!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Pocket Gacha, it's basically a hud-based game of chance that works exactly like in-world gacha machines. A bunch of creators are involved, you grab a hud and rather than teleporting to a laggy sim where you can't move and nothing rezzes and OMG I'M BEING EJECTED BECAUSE MY SCRIPTS ARE TOO HIGH, you sit in the comfort of your platform/house/that one dance club you like, and click through until you find something that sparks your interest. You then select the option to either pay the hud in Lindens, or specially purchased credits, and play the gacha you desire until you a. get the item you want, or b. give up and cry 5ever. Like all gachas there are a set RARE percentage, and with some creators there's the option to purchase a full set without even playing on the machine and trying your luck! For more information you should check their website at the link up there ^^, because I'm faffing and probably explaining super poorly! :P
ANYWHO.
Lotus has released this deliciously lovely skin & eye set called Rebecca, especially for the March round of Pocket Gacha. Here are some pictures!
This is the Rebecca skin, in CalWL on Ultra grapics in Firestorm viewer. I haven't used any shadows, and there is no shine on my catwa head, also, zero editing in photoshop other than the cropping effects when I popped the pictures together.
Shown here from left to right are the Tone 3 versions available, LOTUS.7 Rebecca Skin (tone 03), LOTUS.8 Rebecca Skin (tone 03), LOTUS.9 Rebecca Skin (tone 03).
This is my favourite tone! It's my humble opinion that the Lotus skins have come on leaps and bounds in this edition, the textures are much smoother, and the detailing across the nose and lips are much improved! I'm a real sucker for a cute button nose, and I don't feel at all let down here. I'm also absolutely in love with these cat-liners. They're sharp and realistic down to the matte effect on my eyelid, and I am doing some serious heart hands!
Shown from left to right are the Tone 2 versions, LOTUS.10 Rebecca Skin (tone 02), LOTUS.11 Rebecca Skin (tone 02), LOTUS.12 Rebecca Skin (tone 02)
Here are the rare skin hud tones.
It's worth mentioning that ALL the skins, whether common or rare come with the body applier huds for Maitreya and Slink, so you can guarantee a match for all of your bits at no extra cost. Honestly, each one of these skins are lovely and I'm ecstatic to be able to add them all to my collection!
And now for a musical interlude until next time. I'm sure you'll find this familiar.
"Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me."
Kinda apt this'd be a skin post, really... don't you think?

My husband, Santa, has obviously been very busy making the children of the world happy. The last month has been especially hard while he tries to get all his deadlines met, and his Elves have been needier than ever. Not to mention Rudolf caught a cold and his nose wasn't shining nearly as brightly as it should have been, so I've been in the kitchen concocting potions (mainly chicken broth) to try and make him better in time for Christmas Eve.Unfortunately for me and Santa that means we've been like two ships passing in the night, kissing briefly under the mistletoe when we pass each other in the halls decked with holly. Now the hard work for this year is over, and I've gathered by the sofa with some cookies I baked (Santa NEVER tires of his cookies), and some warm drinks, along with a few presents I've gathered for Santa to open when he finally awakes from the longest sleep he has all year.
It seems I might have dozed off myself after preparing a feast fit for a miracle man, let's hope he wakes me sweetly!
I was lucky enough to see the outfit I'm wearing today pre-release, in wip mode. I legit got super excited, mainly because the texturing is SO STINKING GOOD.
I was also super happy because it's not your average "Christmas" outfit. Although all the bones of a comfortable outfit are there - the snuggly sweater, and the long warm pants, the little extras Moss&Mink have included are absolutely gorgeous. From the cute detailing of the belt-like panel across the waist, to the dropping bow over the top, and even the cashmere effect of the jumper/sweater itself just made me squee, there's no obvious Christmas themed colours, so this is an outfit that will serve you throughout the year, for any occasion.
And dat headbow doe.
LOVE.
