There’s an exciting new store by the name of Shine, created by talented photographer Sophy Violet. Shine brings us sophisticated attire while utilizing a lot of sculpts to add drama and flair to the design. Check out Shine when you get the chance.

Dutch Touch has released a new VIP exclusive skin by the name of Sterre. To purchase Sterre, join the Dutch Touch Skins & Shapes VIP group, activate your group tag and voila! You have access to an exclusive skin, only available to the members of the Dutch Touch group. I’m wearing the fudge tone but there are 4 different tones available.

I’m about to start a little project that’s been in the back of my mind for a while. I told Mr. Revolution my idea and he’s smirking and betting on how long I get bored of this. LOL I do admit to starting many things and then leaving them behind in the dust just because I am so antsy and always looking for a new adventure. But today I am just gonna go ahead and do it. About 3 years ago I created a group inworld called Berrylicious. At that time, my goofy friends and I used that group to chatter amongst ourselves and sometimes we invited random men we would meet in our travels and torture them in group chat LOL (yes I know, we are so very mature). Anyhow, that was a long time ago and these days the group was just kind of lying dormant. A few of my older friends are still in the group for some reason though LOL.

Now, what I’ve done is gone ahead and made the group public and I’d like to use it to get to know my blog readers a bit more. I will be involved in group chats on a regular basis, just to chat, socialize (since I am usually stuck in my skybox shooting) and share tips and tricks as well as learn from whomever else would like to join. I will also send notices to the group anytime I blog and/or hear about a sale or event that interests me and I would like to share with my group members.

A lot of times what happens is I’m given something to blog and it has to do with an event or special sale or a group gift. And even though I adore the item, because of my hectic schedule, I just don’t get the chance to blog it in the timeframe it’s available. So this way I can at least share the information with my group members.

To kick this off, I decided to send a free gift to the group. You’ll see it in the notices if you join. A month or so ago I was just goofing around in ps and decided to try to make an eyelash tattoo. It’s not amazing or anything, but hey it’s my first face tat and it doesn’t look all that bad. :D So it’s yours for free if you join me. My group will remain open now and there will never be a fee to join so you can come and go as you please.

Let’s just hope I don’t get bored of it too soon! :D Join my Berrylicious group inworld!

This post is totally about me being all excited like a little girl in a candy store! Not only was I asked to pose for a vendor for this fabulous new Plume hair, but Mr. Lulu Jameson took my picture for it. It always feels nice when someone actually wants to take MY picture and not the other way around. LOL Plus, I have always loved Lulu’s photography, his work is just breathtaking. And I am also loving the new Plume store, their hair is so different and fanciful.

This new pearl hair is very elaborate and comes with some very neat options. It’s scripted so with just a click you can easily resize the hair and also change the appearance of the pearls. The pearl earrings I am wearing actually come with the hair as well. The hair comes in 15 different color options and some are multi-colored to give it more of a stylish, high fashion look. It’s perfect for a night of ballroom dancing to match your lavish gown.

Fauve and Lulu also created a Plume magazine on issuu.com and one of my blog pictures ended up there, totally exciting!

Do you sometimes have such a crazy amount of work that you feel like you are drowning in it and you won’t make it out alive but you are having so much fun at the same time that you don’t really want it to stop either? Yeah…this is what it’s come to.

Anyhow, I thought I’d share with you guys what I did last night. Last night I went on a crazy group joining spree because the lovely plurkers on my timeline discovered that we can now have up to 40 groups. Some people have warned not to join over 25 groups until they are “officially announced” by the lab so it’s up to you. But if you read the following plurks you will get a list of a bunch of groups you can join that give out great free gifts from time to time and more information about the 40 groups.

Groups you can join that give out great gifts: http://www.plurk.com/p/a4tnzx
40 groups in different viewers: http://www.plurk.com/p/a4tex9
>> EDIT: 42 groups now, read this plurk: http://www.plurk.com/p/a5emda
According to the comment from Maestro Linden on this jira, we have 42 groups now.
>>>UPDATE: 42 groups officially announced on the Second Life Blog.

The hair I am wearing is from a new hair store called “Plume” which is the brainchild of talented photographers Fauve Beaumont and Lulu Jameson. The hair is completely different from the norm and certainly a work of art. Check out Plume for more gorgeous styles.

September 22nd is my birthday and this year is kind of a milestone birthday for me. I dunno though…I’m feeling kinda old. Feels like I’ve really aged these past few months. And although I was able to let go of a lot of things and move on from them, my permeable layer that I use to shield myself from others seems to be a bit stronger. I’m a bit more protective and apprehensive about opening up too much of myself. Not sure why that is the case or perhaps that comes with age. In your youth it may be easier to let people in but as you get older, your good and bad experiences can affect how much of yourself you are willing to let go.

I also feel like there is so much in my life that I kinda wanted to do or should have done and I haven’t as of yet. Does that make me a failure? Is there really a set of rules or goals that one needs to have accomplished at a certain age?

I’m rambling aren’t I? Sorry, didn’t mean to get all philosophical on y’all. I just get these random thoughts so I figure what better a place to share these thoughts than my very own blog! :P

Will you pile me up? Pretty please? With a Strawberry on top?

So anyways…for my birthday would you like to pile me up? :D Check out the pile up group on flickr! I dunno if this image is a good pic to pile up on, but it’s raw from sl with shadows enabled. I tried to keep the image size pretty big, so hopefully you’ll be able to work with it. Here’s the original size for you to play with, it’s 3800×3080.

Anyhow, I’m gonna go get some sleep so I’m all ready to eat lotsa cake tomorrow. Have a good night everyone <3

I’ve been watching
I’ve been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I’ve been searching
I’ve been living
For tomorrows all my life

Can you tell I’m having a blast playing with shadows? It’s become my new love…and yes for those of you who have asked me about it…I’m working on a video tutorial for them! :)
