Taken in the Trompe Loeil - Margaux Photo Backdrop + Surround
AHHHHHH
I might be a little excited about these Moss&Mink Computers!! HOLD ME DOWN WHILE I SQUEAL.
ok i'm done.
So i'm sure you've probably seen the inspiration behind this pic before, and if you haven't there's a little gyazo of it right >Here<
I searched for a couple of hours for a pose of it on marketplace last night, and then potatoman decided he'd do it.. and when I woke up this morning the sneaky little bugger was online and had completed half of it! How awesome is this!!?
Seriously, I am SO grateful for the beautiful people I am surrounded with at the moment, and often get a little teary eyed just thinking about how wonderful they are!
I have so many THINGS to show you! I'm actually not even going to attempt to waffle today, instead I'm going to show you the things, ok? Ok!
So Moss&Mink came out with a couple of fabulous additions recently... the first is "La Piche Moussue" in collaboration with the Peaches hot chocolate set that I showed you somewhere.. maybe >Here< ? Anywho, the store is bloody gorgeous. So gorgeous that I'm keeping it full time on my homestead. Twice. Not only does it include the building which I've kinda shown in the first picture (you can unlink & remove the snowy top, so the store can be used throughout the seasons), but it also comes with matching inside pieces to mix & match too. There are three versions of the store, a white with red trim 'Nordic' version that is perfect for the Holiday season, the 'Worn' Blue shown, and a white and gold trim 'Clean' option... along with a selection of different coloured matching counters and displays.
There's also the super cute Sleigh, which has an unlinkable snow prim not shown. It has tons of animations in for both singles and couples, and I can see this being a welcome addition to any home or garden during the winter months.
In other stores, Miss Chelsea has provided this snug cardigan and tee combination in two colours (Sold separately) for 50L friday. Yah, it's Saturday, but I checked a couple of hours ago and it was still available for the special 50L price! I really love the detailing of Miss Chelsea's items, and this cardigan has such cute elbows I almost squealed!
The Native Urban Sneakers can be found at Uber, and have an insane colour hud! Well worth the price point, and definitely one to put in your shopping cart!
Eyeshadow : Veechi (I'm really not sure which one, but it's a liner and it's probably for LOGO head because that works with the omega system in the Genus head)
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!
Apparently in this photograph, I'm smoking a joint. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-weed.. I hear a bunch of stories every day about how it helps settle people's moods and yanno, other things... and if that's the case, even if it's just a fancy placebo effect then I'm all for it.
In SL, I find cigarettes and joints can make fun RP attachments. However, in RL I haven't touched a cigarette for three years, and there hasn't been a trace of weed for a REALLY long time.
When I was about 18-19, I had a really cute boyfriend. I guess he was my first love, and we went through a lot of things together over the year we were together - as you do when you're 18-19. I mean, you're still growing, everything is dramatic. You have a small argument and it feels like the world is ending and your soul is splitting.
The reason I bring him up is because he and I experimented with weed together. A mutual friend of ours used to "deliver" weed, and occasionally, he would drop by my boyfriends house and we'd smoke some 'left overs' with him. Some of my best memories with that first love of mine include sitting on his mothers couch (she was super liberal and would often join us for a smoke), sharing some weed, giggling ridiculously together and then taking crazy road trips to find snacks.
Most of the time, however, I would be asleep for the field trips... I had the habit of being a giggler and then falling asleep because I just can't hold anything - weed or alcohol. Both make me super emotional in some way and then I just pass out. On the couch. Which meant I would wake up with the English equivalent of cheeto's stuffed in my shirt, or bacon strips on my face - and one time - half an eyebrow....
Who doesn't love some cute little chickies and geese? Honestly not sure I'd throw my hand into a bucket of chicks because I'm pretty certain geese can become kinda violent, kinda quickly and I'd like to keep my fingers intact!
I love the colours of this Miss Chelsea outfit. The bright oranges and blues are making me get all excited for summer, with images of seas and sunsets. The outfit is of course available in an array of colours, so if these don't appeal to you, don't dare miss out on snapping it up in a more pastel theme or less bright theme. The hair and Dappa Tattoo are giving me absolutely massive boho vibes which is a big thumbs up from me, as I'm a bit of a boho girl at heart.
The wrap around shoes from Empire are in my opinion perfect when it comes to finishing the outfit.
Hoping to be back in a few hours with a Man-Pickle Monday post, so hang on for that!
Location : Elysion (Adult) - The Redwoods (Residential Sim, Group only access. Please be courteous!)
Today, I bought you flowers.
As soon as I saw this tattoo I squee'd. Santi also prodded me to make sure I'd seen it.
I don't love many flowers, I mean, they're pretty to look at and some of them smell okay but I'm a pretty severe hayfever sufferer and if I sniff for too long I'm likely to cough, splutter and sneeze for at least an hour afterwards... but sunflowers? I can get with those bad boys.
I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps it's their cheery colour, or the fact that they really do look like little suns growing tall and proud, or maybe it's because as a kid in Primary Schools we were encouraged to grow them and the tallest won.. something I don't remember. I don't like eating the seeds, but I do like watching the lil animals scampering around shoveling them into their mouths and running away with cheeks full to popping point. And hamsters. I kinda have a love hate relationship with those furry buggers too, but they're always adorable with a pouch full of sunflower seeds.
Anyway... with such unusual colouring I wanted to make this picture pop, and I totally copied my Juni and ran around Elysion (because she'd reminded me I was in the group and I flippin' paid the fee so I'm gonna flippin' use it, k?). I believe it's been newly decorated and semi-newly opened up with rentals and it's of course, stunning and I hate that I'm a fraction as talented as the landscapers... but I digress again...
Honestly, I have no idea where I'm going. Sometimes I start with a plan, and other times it half formulates as I'm writing. I think today I might have fallen down a rabbit hole and maybe should have written about bedazzling my vagjayjay like I suggested to Juni, but I'm not. Instead I'll tell you that I spent a small fortune trying to get the bee's & the purple headpiece from a Lode Gacha, because they matched the tattoo and whenever I think of Sunflowers I also think of bee's, and scamper off to sleep after an amazingly awesome set by Recka at Consent. Yes. That's a good plan Pickle. Go to sleep you plonker.
When I was small, my family had a caravan by the beach. I use the term beach very loosely, because once again, I remind you this is England, and what was considered a beach was actually about 3 feet of stony/sandy toot with some kinda greyish water.
My Dad asked me to go fishing with him in that awful grey water one day, and I jumped at the chance. I must have been about 13, and he often took my brothers but rarely thought I would be interested. My middle brother had managed to catch an eel a couple of weeks previous, and I wanted nothing more than to prove that I could do better. "Want to bait the hook?" my Dad asked. I died a little inside and shied away from that pretty sharpish.
My Dad bent over to get a maggot from the tupperware pot he used, and what do you know, two £10 notes flew out of his pocket and started to blow down the beach. "What are you just standing there for? RUN!" << My Dad.
So there I am at 13. definitely not a track star, running down a dingy British beach, chasing after £20. I legit run the entire length of that fuckin' beach, and it was like something out of a comedy. I get close, I smack my foot over where the note should land and of course, the wind picks up and off it flies just out of reach. How did I know it was the end of the beach? There's a chain-link fence leading onto a private military area, and the two notes - instead of getting stuck on that fence like they should have - somehow slid right into that private area.
I am devastated. My fishing trip with my Dad has been ruined, and he's going to shout at me. I'm sobbing because even then I'm an emotional wreck. After walking lethargically back to the fishing spot, my cheeks stained with tears and sniveling rather pathetically my Dad stands there with his hands on his hips and says... "I didn't expect you to run THAT far!"
Luckily in SL we have pretty beaches, and fishing is usually rewarded with prizes! The only thing you're going to lose your linden to are the absolutely stunning fashion finds featured right here in this blog! :P (Totes imagined myself as a TV host there. NotSorry)
