Almost Christmas…

It usually never snows in my hometown and the Christmas decorations are pretty dreadful, so I’m left enjoying the holyday’s spirit eating insane amounts of typical winter dishes, not that I complain that much about it, of course.

I am currently channeling my desire for a white Christmas into Second Life, I guess

Murder on the Orient Express...
I was just flipping through my snaps’ folder for some long deserved clean out and found out a few old shots taken ad Drowsy’s autumn festival.
I was pretty sad when they took down their tents from spooky carnival, but I love the half drowned train as much so, I must say this sim never disappoints me.

I guess I never realized I might have a slight obsession with bowler hats before… got at least three in my inventory.
After I've seen those combat boots in Meachi Pizzicato's blog I had to have them, just for the idea of owning a pari of "Dr. Murder's", yes, I'm that childish.

Back here…

Editing a week ago image, as always, which, by the way, is all about poetic irises, I mean, Poetic Color’s eyes by Lano Ling.
I never change my avatar’s eyes simply because I got my freebies eyes practically a week after a first logged into Second Life and I still haven’t found anything I love more than Poetic colors.

So here’s a tribute to his latest freebie that comes also in a dark version.

Funny facts: I learned how to cover my avi’s belly button before learning how to fly up and down and not in some sort of zig-zag pattern of doom. So this must be a first (and probably last) time the midget here will be this undressed, I kind of understand why Mika wanted to take a pic, which also shows better the slouchy Amerie’s pants that are made of love.

It usually takes me a while to come up with a post, but this time I made an effort, took some caps yesterday night and got some lines ready made today.
Well, it wouldn’t’ t make any sense to post this in a month or so …

Anyway yesterday it was the official opening night for “Libertà di essere” an art exibit that, despite its strictly Italian title, seemed pretty international to me.
Got some spare SL time? (make some spare SL time!) Go take a look because the set only it’s worth a visit.
Obviously I’m very proud my friend Mikako Ghost is one of the exhibiting artists.
I was so proud yesterday night I grew several inches taller…no wait, that were my ballet shoes.
A tiny recap of the night, just because I’d like to show off a look the part of the open minded-intellectual person and fail miserably.

Mika most graciously tped me to the place and there I met my date for the night: THE LAG. Mr.LAG very courteously made me feel like a was floating into some vast blue emptiness until Mika pointed out that was the entire point of the setting: a staircase floating in the sky.
Of course, I complied on my best behavior while I patiently waited for SL to rez that big fat white cloud just above my head.
Then I had an epiphany and now I’m a believer. No, really this is the first cap I took after realizing I was under someone’s kimono, floating godlike beautifully just shy of the floor (yes, my avi is that short).
After that it was a blur of me and Mr.LAG waltzing our way up, up, up to the Heaviside layer and tumbling down countless times.
Mika constantly several steps above sent IM going from “This portrait is breathtaking” to “Someone loves my shoes!” ending with “Get yourself up here: there’s a ginormous bird!” (yes please, you Italian readers…laugh, it was actually a pretty funny bad joke)
I very politely commented on the music while Mr.LAG showed me endless flat grey panels before finally slowly rezzing the artworks, then I went on falling from the stairs.

..and of course we had to try every single poseball cause you have to make a conceptual fool of yourself when your hunger for art is sated, that’s the way it works.

Let’s say I’ve been waiting to get these shoes from Bare Rose forever I just needed an excuse. I’ am pretty positive everyone has already seen this coat from COCO and it’s just that great, in every single tiny detail.

Outfit remix!
Meaning: I really couldn't part with PR!TTY hair (I pratically advertised them with every single one of my three and half contacts and forced to give up and buy, cause they're awsome) and that *deviant girls* skirt, so I just mixed and matched other items with them.
Plus little girls go into a heavy pink phase when they're five and I just got to that point of my life (quite late I must say), so: pinks, nudes, skin tones, I am the chubby barbie shaded avi on the grid these days.
It will pass...eventually.

p.s What's with me and my playlist lately? I always come up with these emoish songs for my posts...I guess it's further proof I'm kind of tone deaf.
