I was finally able to get to the Spread the Love Gacha Event that the SLGBT Alliance is currently hosting to check out all of the goodies and try my hand at some of the many gachas filled with goodies! With at least half the proceeds of every gacha play going to the PFLAG, I'm hoping to go back and try some more myself - I have a "Doe Eyes" vintage light that would look raaaather cute next to one of those  "Stag Love" buck rares! *crosses her fingers* And there's a "Men's Hoodie gacha" I soo wish came in womens! heehee. - Such a worthwhile cause, can't hurt to drop in and see if any of the gacha machine goodies just happen to tickle your fancy. It's open until the end of the month (February 2014). tp?

Oh! While we're here I'd also love to mention another little gem I happened across later that evening (thank you tumblr!) that I'm now rather in love with! The sim is an adorable little place called [Nouveaux] and it is just as their blog describes it "Think of it like a mini-mall full of a variety of new and upcoming designers", only their sim is as adorable as the shops and I'm so very excited to see what comes from them all in the future. (At the moment, although I'm not sure for how long, they have a small sim hunt going with a few delightful little goodies to be found!)

With the Winter months having consumed parts of the rl globe, snow and ice have spread over many sims in sl, and this kitty needed to find a comfy coat to keep her human bits toasty warm on those outdoor adventures. Soon I came across this lovely piece, and for L$1 (on mp) no less! It fit perfectly and I simply had to have it!

Worn with these super plush paw mittens not even the coldest of sims was getting to this kitty, 

not even after hours of exploration, ice skating and even some snowflake catching.

The next two posts are already in mind, and outside of the small touches it's a matter of bringing it all together to share! Although I was so hoping to get at least one shared before I went out of town for the weekend, lighting and poses simply didn't agree nor want to cooperate.

And now I spend the weekend with half of the images sitting on my desk at home and the ideas I'm dying to toy with and try running through my creative mind until I can get to them! AaahhhHhh! >.< 

*sad kitty face*

And so, I send you all well wishes and hope each of you has a lovely weekend.

 Until next week, lots of luvs! 

After a long weekend that followed an even longer week, there's almost nothing as lovely as sitting back in your comfiest jammies with some tunes, a good book and some sticky-icky.

While I have had tons of ideas for the "official first post", I suppose my original banner image (that's currently being used, but I already have plans to change to better fit the layout, hehee) would be rather fitting.

Just a city girl at heart, something comfy while hailing cabs, with a bit of sex appeal simply because you never know who you may run into, and what everyone should always have - a touch of class.

After taking a quick break along the cement wall and catching a few moments of the random basketball game being played, the two grabbed the next bus uptown... "Come along, Pond" she called to the small rodent following quickly at foot.

My ratty friend, Pond: Alchemy - Rat Familiar, in Chestnut [Fantasy Fair 2014]

For years photography within SL has been a creative outlet for me, the nearly unlimited possibilities in the pixel world around us is truly amazing in that way. We're only limited by our imaginations - well, those of the wonderfully talented builders/creators, but they never cease to amaze - and mine often tends to run wild, giving way to photos I could only dream of in RL.

Now, I have my older photo collections packed away, others collect dust in folders on this hard drive while a few here and there have found there way to my facebook, or an old photobucket account (with entirely too many never reaching the editing stage). But all of that is simply just not good enough. It just wont do.

While I surely don't anticipate reaching some large number of those of you who do enjoy a photo blog or two, it would just be nice to share something I love to do with any number of you. ᕙ(⁰ᴥ⁰)ᕗ

And so here we are, on a blog I'll probably change the design of a couple dozen of times before my OCD creative brain decides it'll do.
I plan to post and share as often as possible but at the least once a week, with my random rambles sharing bits from my most loved shops, wondrous and beautiful places and showcasing some of my favorite fashion finds - gachas, hunts, events, freebies and gifts included!

So please, come back again soon and often to find what sorts of random rambles this feline has come up with next.
