So the title of today’s post is a bit of an inside joke with me and my plurk timeline. If you’re on there and know it you’re probably shaking your head and laughing at me right now. If you’re not on there and don’t get the joke, consider yourself lucky. :P

In other news (and the main reason for this picture) Glam Affair has finally released SLink appliers for both hands and feet. I am so incredibly happy about this, you have no idea. All of my favorite skins have appliers out now and my life is so much easier. There’s just one more skin that I would love to have appliers for and that is Glance!

If you are a skin designer, please take a look at the Slink Avatar Enhancement System’s Developer’s page and ask Siddean Munro for a kit. You will make your customers so happy!

I’m also loving all the nails people have been making with this kit. The ones I’m wearing in this picture are actually free from League. They are so well done, I love them. She made them both for hands and feet and they are absolutely free!

Finally, I wanted to give a big thank you to my friend, Mr. Ghosty Kips, for sharing a really important debug setting with me this morning that I found very useful. The setting is windlightUseAtmosShaders. Have you guys ever had the missing prim issue where parts of your jewelry and/or clothing may be missing and you need to keep right clicking on it or relog to make it appear? Well, if you set this setting as true, that should fix the problem. Here’s a link to the picture he shared with me where he shows you how to add this setting to your quick preferences in Firestorm. You can then easily toggle it whenever you have the missing prim issue. The following picture is mine from the official viewer that I use:

This helped me rez my ring properly and hopefully it’ll help you guys out too so I thought I’d share it.

Have a great weekend! <3

“…Where are you, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping
From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need?
Do you know the greatness of my patience?

Is there any spirit in the air capable of conveying
To you the breath of this dying youth? Is there any
Secret communication between angels that will carry to
You my complaint?

Where are you, my beautiful star? The obscurity of life
Has cast me upon its bosom; sorrow has conquered me…”

-Kahlil Gibran

This gorgeous mermaid outfit was given to me on my rezday by a dear friend. I’m absolutely in love with it so I had to take some pictures. I’ve been pretty much wearing this the whole week and having a lot of fun shooting at this stunning location.

The lovely Garvie Garzo of meadowWorks gave me a little sneak peek of the new location for the meadowWorks store which will be open on May 24th. It’s absolutely beautiful, my pictures do not do it justice. It’s like a magical underwater city. MeadowWorks will also be having an amazing release at The Home and Garden Expo (RFL event) around the same time.

I feel like I really failed at this week’s SL DisneyBound challenge because I had all these ideas and I was going to use ManBerry and was going to dress him up as Aladdin, etc… but I’m currently going through a number of projects at the moment that I just haven’t had time. In fact, I am squeezing this quick picture in because well, I really really really wanna do this challenge.

This picture kind of represents my life right now. I feel like I’ve gone through (and still going through) a lot of changes and I’m seeing the world a bit differently. To make this post sound even cheesier, it’s like “a whole new world” to me and lately my life has been nothing short of magical.

Tomorrow is my 6th rezday and I’ve been planning a special post for it for about a month now, but it’s not exactly turning out how I planned it in my head. I’m going to try and squeeze time in today and see what I end up with for tomorrow. It’s been quite a journey and I feel like I’ve learned and grown a lot.

Anyhow, this week’s SL DisneyBound challenge, if you haven’t guessed it by now was Jasmine and Aladdin. I gave my Jasmine a bit of an indian twist with the henna tats cuz they were so pretty. You can check out the SL Disneybound flickr group to see everyone’s gorgeous entries in this challenge.

Before I start this meme, I must give credit where credit is due. A few weeks ago, designer Kellie Iwish of Elate messaged me and said that she enjoys reading my memes every week and she had a suggestion for one, “ask people to sum up their SL lives in a single haiku.” At the time I told her that I am horrible at Haikus (as you can see) however I would give it a try.

The reason I suck so hard at Haikus is because I am a rambler and just way too wordy to think of just a few words and syllables to make a powerful statement. Anyhow, for the past few weeks I have been trying to come up with a Haiku about me, my avatar, my slife, my sl name, SOMETHING…and lemme just tell you, IT’S DAMN HARD! I even asked a few of my friends to help me out, which some of them really did and I’ll share one of those in a bit.

Before I go any further, I figure I should share a bit of information about Haikus for those who are not that familiar with them. A Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five. We are of course going to do the English imitation of this. I actually used this website to help me out a bit, you might also find it useful: WriteAHaiku.com

So the meme for this week is, write a Haiku about your Second Life. Remember to leave your link in this meme’s post so others can come by and read your answers as well!

You probably already read my Haiku in the picture above, but I’m also going to type it out here. After weeks and weeks of contemplating and trying and struggling and crying and hating myself, I settled on this one because well…IT’S THE BEST I CAN DO FOR NOW OK!

A strawberry sings?
Or does she prance in windlight?
Heard it’s photoshop.

Yeah…I dunno. Whatever!

So as I said earlier, I also asked some friends to help me out and one of them sent me this:

Strawberries are yum
Sometimes they give me the runs
Then my bum hurts, ow.

So even though I HATE HIS BRATTY GUTS, I actually laughed so hard at this one that I just had to share it, and it kind of pisses me off that it’s way more entertaining than the one I came up with. THANKS CHAD!

So yeah, these are my Haikus. I have no idea if any of you are going to do this one but I sure hope you do because I have a feeling it will be quite entertaining!

Please remember that you can participate in any of the memes at any time. You’ll find them all under my Blog Challenges category along with other memes and challenges I’ve done over the years. If you do an image for your meme and put it on flickr, feel free to share it in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

P.S. The meme’s a day early because I have a meeting on Monday. Have a great week! <3

Basilique is an adult-oriented members-only club in Second Life. But it’s more than just a club, it has a lot to offer with a lot of different activities. The setting is of an European town. I am standing in the main open area since you need to be a member to get into the bathhouse or watch the burlesque shows. I was given a bit of a sneak peek and you can also get a free guest pass for one week to check it all out. It’s very well done and definitely a stylish place to hang out. I hear currently they are showing a 90 minute production of Romeo and Juliet. You can keep an eye on Canary Beck’s blog for all of the details.

My skin, top and poses are all from Zodiac Taurus this month. Taurus is the sign of the bull. The bull is a symbol of strength, tenacity, virility, and power. There is a pretty awesome selection of items this month so grab the slurl and head on down there. I’m especially in love with this skin. I think it kind of makes me look exotic, what do you guys think?
