hopscotch pose fair preview part 1 + surf co + mild self pity

Easy Silence – The Dixie Chicks

I wonder how long these titles can be, anyway. Something to test for the future!

Chandni Khondji of *~*HopScotch*~* passed some poses to me – in fact ALL of her Pose Fair poses! xD How generous and exciting. I love them all they are super great but my favorites by far are the couple poses from the “Best Friends Ever” set. Oh My God so cuuuuuute! I knew I wanted to blog them immediately if not sooner, and I knew I wanted to do it in the brand spankin’ new Surf Co. dresses, and I knew I needed a friend.

Oh. Crap.

Yeah see, I don’t really have any friends who are willing to a) spend money on what I want them to buy for a particular shoot and b) patience to sit while I adjust pose balls and focus prims and so on. I NEEEEEEEED a friend like that. We always joke about needing a boyfriend (or girlfriend) store, but what I need is a Bestie Friend Store. =P lol!

Yes I am pathetic.

The poses in this set are really, really sweet. They remind me of young girls playing in a field of wildflowers, and then a montage of them growing into young teens, then young women, still running through the field picking wildflowers together. It’s a really nice set. =)

who's that lady?

So who is this stunning willowy blonde ingénue, you might ask? Clearly some charitable soul has taken pity on you, Bunny. Clearly someone out there has a heart, has the compassion to pose with an aspiring fashionista photographer!

Clearly, that somebody is me. Yes, enter my previously blogged about former main avatar. =P She was sadly outdated, I had to make a whole new shape from scratch because I hated her old one. Luckily I had a fairly recent Truth hair on her, and even more luckily, DSkin holds up to the test of time, still one of the most stunning faces I have had the pleasure of wearing. Aside from the funky armpit shading in above picture, she’s looking pretty damn good. I am pleased.

lay off the twinkies, bish

I had a lot of fun taking these pictures with myself on these poses that were symbolic of loving friendship. Yippie. =P Seriously, I had a ton of fun but it was also tinged with the sadness of knowing that I just don’t have someone that I feel this way about, who feels this way about me.

is there a banana in your pocket or...

I don’t know where this person is. I sometimes think that because I am too scatterbrained, too incapable of really multi-tasking when I get into a project or person, that there is no one person out there to be my bestie because I’m not good enough to be theirs. Does that self-pitying logic make any sense at all to anyone but me? =P I guess I am saying that because of how I am, it’s pretty impossible to get to know me, and more impossible to put up with my difficult ways once you do. *nod* I’ve been working hard to branch out and make myself more open to people but I have trouble with it still. I promise friends o’ mine, I’m trying!

*snuggles*

And that’s the end of the pity party, for today at least. =P I hope that keeping it sammiched in between pictures and random fashionish statements that it won’t drive all the readers away! So now let’s talk fashion. New Surf Co. dresses = omg omg omg? Yes, they definitely do rate omgx3. They come in a ton of springy fabrics and there are matching wedgey shoes, yay!

easy silence

Who is so excited about Pose Fair that they could just die?! Me that’s who. =P Also very tired and this post is sounding frighteningly shrill with an edge of hysteria in my brain voice.

Also Pictured:

On Bunny: Magika – Bean, Caroline’s – Anne Crystal Gold, Earth Stones – Stacked Spectrum Bracelet Gold, Lara Skins – Heather, KHUSH – lyric fun tattoo

On Hannelore: Truth – Linda, Paper Courture – Gold Diamond Bee Necklace, D-Skin

I don’t feel like making links for these places because it’s almost 3 am and I am tired! I promise to work on my SLURLS page soon.

vive9 gifties and i learned something new

rage filled?!

So. I have a new layout. It’s nice. It’s also one of the most commonly used layouts ever but, oh well. Being a unique snowflake is SO 1999. =P

I finally finally finally made it in to the vive9 sim to pick up the giftbags. I loved a lot of the skins and I figured this was a good time for me to learn that spiffy and exciting technique that everyone but me seems to know for blogging skins.

The oh-so-complicated grid of images all the same size and scale! I am really proud of myself for figuring out a way to do this, lol. What seems simple and everyday to other bloggers is new and exciting territory for this newbie!

Something I found to bitch about – fucking idiot second lifers. Okay people we’ve all been here how long? You’re bitch bitching bitching in local chat about the lag and how you can’t get any of the free stuff and “omg i cnt bulief this shit linden lab sucks vive9 sucks i demand my free shit rite now.” I despise you, random SL people!

You’re blingin’ and you’re blangin’ and your super scripted prim feet and twitching cat tails and ass-presenting AO and pierced elf ears and six miles of flexi hair and ridiculous ballgowns with 45 layers of glowy shit. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WEAR THAT SHIT INTO A SIM YOU KNOW DAMN WELL IS FULL?! You KNOW there will be a ton of people there. You KNOW it’s going to be laggy before you even get there. You KNOW it’s a stressed sim because you had to try teleporting 40 times just to get in. So why, oh idiot shoppers, do you go there in your full “fuck me i’m super OG/unique/awesome/most hated/DRAMAFREE/bitchkitten” finest? This isn’t a fashion show or a party, it’s a shop and NO ONE is looking at you.

Except me, and I fucking hate you. K?

So anyway, about the gifties. It’s TONS of stuff and I really haven’t sorted through all of it yet. But I did want to show some of the skins I really liked. =) And thank BluAbyss Denimore & company for setting out these gifties for us. I feel it was definitely worth the wait and effort for me to get into the sim and pick this stuff up. Without further ado, I present (some of) the skins!

click! for! larger!

click motherfucker! do you speak it!? (that was weak, i know)

So in the top peeeecture I am wearing the Nest Leggings in Burgandy which are also one of the (previously unreleased) gifties. In the skin photos I am wearing the vintage eyes in Lucid Black, all the eyes come in a gift bag as well. Sweater is Raspberry Fluff Soft Cotton Pullover w/ bra from Pig and Shoes are Strawberry Fluffcake flats from 50L Flats. The shoes don’t REALLY match the outfit at all but I like wearing things with FLUFF in the name. To make up for it I added the BER necklace (old 50L item from Miel) which matches the outfit but sadly, not the shoes. Damn shoes. =P Oh and Soma hair from Lamb, one of my new favorite hairs. :D And the skin is another of the vive9 gifties, the Fresh Risque which is by far my favorite line from that store – I wish I had found it before now, lol.

In WoW news, I did not log in there last night. I straight up skipped the raid without even a text message to the raid leader – something I’ve literally NEVER DONE EVER in the history of raiding. Seriously. I don’t do that. I felt guilty all night, lol. =( Silly I know. I still am not sure how to rectify that whole situation.
