52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Cerise

And of course my first post for the new year is a catch up one, i think cerise was the colour of the week, umm  2 weeks ago now.. oops my bad!  I blame lateness on Christmas, New Years and that fact that Dell still has not delivered the computer that I purchased close to a month ago.  But bitching ain't gonna get me caught up so moving right along.

I hope you all had a fabulous New Years and 2011 turns out to be everything you want it to be!  Also, i'm going to be changing a few bits and pieces around on this little patch of dirt I call my blog, starting with the inclusion of the designers names in the credits, I often search this way to find particular stores and find it useful so hopefully you guys will too.

The Rumor Sim Dress Up Challenge

Emily Kaestner of Croire let me know through flickr that The Rumor Sim was holding a dress up challenge to celebrate their revamp.  Now I love a good challenge, I just never seem to have the time to do many of them lately, but I wanted to see the new Sim layout and this seemed like as good an excuse as any to get myself motivated and go.  The rules of the challenge are relatively simple, you must be wearing at least one article from a store on The Rumor Sim, and your photo must be shot on the Sim itself.

I chose to use the cool little auditorium on the Sim and sort of had a whole rocked out image in mind, however gremlins seem to have invaded my computer and made it damn near impossible to take a picture without SL crashing and then just to add to my frustration photoshop decided to hate me too, so please excuse my crappy photography today and do not let it deter you from visiting The Rumor!  The revamp is great and all your favourites are back so it's definitely worth a visit!

Dirty little freaks

So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be anything but loud and nitty gritty,

Dirty little freaks,

Won't you come on and raise your glass...

I've had a few people lately ask where my skin is from because I don't credit it in every post.  This isn't because I want to take anything away from the wonderful designer or because I don't want to share it.  I don't change my skin all that often and I will always credit it when I do like I did way back here.  So if I haven't credited it in a while, it's pretty safe to assume I'm still using the same one.  But for those that are wondering Atomic's Audri Abyss 2 in porcelain by the amazingly talented Miss Ivy Graves is currently rocking my skin world.
