Like a crow chasing a butterfly

When I start to but an outfit together for a blog post, I've usually been inspired by something, a picture, a tv show, a random idea or in this case one particular product.  I was at LoQ a few days again and Gia had released this fabulous hair as a new group gift, it was drool at first sight... and the rest pretty much fell into place.

With some much newness getting around and fabulous stores opening you may have missed the sad news that we are about to lose another store from this wacky world of ours.  Di's Opera will be closing it's doors later this week, so you do have one last chance to get there and snag, what is in my opinion, some of the best poses available.

Pose Fair 2011 Part 1

I have an unhealthy addiction to poses, i'll admit it, so letting me loose at Pose Fair was a D A N G E R O U S idea.  As a result my managery of KittyCats are feeling neglected, my SL friends have been wondering why I have been more antisocial than usual and my $L have headed in sharp downward trend that would alarm even the most avid shopper BUT I am one happy little pose junkie. 

I could ramble about the kick ass stuff that is available but lets face it, you don't wanna listen to me, you just wanna see the goodies, so on with the show!

Pose Fair Opens to the public on 1st April at 12pm SLT

I know I could love you much better than this

If all of the strength and all of the courage,

Come and lift me from this place,

I know I could love you much better than this,

Full of grace,

Full of grace,

My love...

I am in the middle of a torrid love hate affair with my Second Life viewer.  I LOVE that I can wear multiple layers and I think the introduction of the tattoo layer has been one of the best things ever!  I HATE that I still can't get shadows working properly in either of the Viewer 2 releases and the other authorized viewers kinda scare me.  But never being one to dwell on things I can not change lets focus on the positive....to all you wonderful creators out there creating tattoo layer makeup, I could just hug you!  I know this is not a new introduction but there seems to have been a flood of new makeup recently and I'm revelling in the ability to colour myself in all purdy like.  So if you haven't discovered the endless possibilities yet for yourself go and check out Cheap Makeup, Tik Tok, Garage and Kyoot just to name a few!
