HOME & GARDEN EXPO 2022

February 26 through March 20, 2022

It’s that wonderful time again this 2022 Season for the Home & Garden Expo which supports Relay For Life.  Known for its largest and longest running event in SL, keep up with their schedule for entertainment, $10L Hunt Prizes and One-Of-A-Kind Auctions.  100% of proceeds are donated to RFL. 

You can VOTE, too, for the H&G Decorating Contest where many fabulous Designers have embellished and decked out some amazing homes.

Stay informed with all the news and updates for H&G Expo HERE!

MANY A MOON….

As the Viking Era blazed through history many moons past, we are always happy to place our interests in memoirs and connections to their pride, strength and honor.  Their saga of sword-swinging raids, quests and legends come to life in our Second Life world where magnificent Designers create impeccable works where we can formulate our own Viking life in clothing, furnishings, long halls and landscapes.

Many a moon cycles our current thoughts in a blending of time passages with our fandangoed needs.  Alas, at the end of the day where battles tethered our bodies and the stains of blood wear upon our skin the time arrives for the washing to whilst away our pain.

The detailed Victorian Bathtub (by Artisan Antiques – Silver Sponsor) can be found at H&G Expo along with matching Sink & Toilet.  I was excited they added features where you can touch the faucet for texture color change and to rez it’s decor along with poses.  Once the items are rez’d, take them back into your inventory!! LOVE IT!  (H&GExpo Sim 1)

Once you are all washed up and clean, Tirrany Designs created accessories for a delightful Gilded Vanity (not shown) where you can brush your hair, gaze into the hand mirror and spray a little perfume all over!  The texturing is perfect along with the design…I’ll create a review very soon for their Vanity, but their bells & whistles decor was perfect for this scene!  (H&GExpo Sim 1)

I’ve been a fan of Tm Creations (Silver Sponsor) for years and have reviewed their items many times.  Once again, an essential for all your decorating needs can be purchased at their beautifully decorated space at H&G (Sim 1).  The Pot Ficus Audrey Plant comes with 3 types; linked and unlined.  100% of the sale goes to Relay For Life!

And now for the juicy prodigal Viking goods… RiG! Artifact Design (Copper Sponsor) creates skillful original mesh where his Medieval and Viking designs are perfect. The full range of his items are mouth drooling and you’ll find your little pixel fingers clicking to purchase each!  Shown here is his Northern Jarl’s Throne and Wash Stand/Basin.

I’m also an Official Blogger for [HARSHLANDS] and while setting up for my scene I couldn’t resist showing off his latest creation “Decorative Vintage Wall” set available at The Liason Collaborative Event going on now, too.  The set comes in 4 styles and you are able to modify the size; which I did here in order to snuggly fit my review items.  If you are a photographer who loves backdrops, this is a must!  I couldn’t get the circled window in the photo, but you can see the built-in tattered brick shelving and window here.  Kadaj Yoshikawa, you always amaze me!

“mOnKeY in mY cLoSeT” by Bambi Chicque

I was granted early access to Festival Of Sin II and made a personal

“gotta have” list; which absolutely included Exposeur’s

“Luxury Closet & Prop Room” GACHA!!  Ruby Starlight did an impicable

job with this amazing closet prop!! It’s open on the end so you can add it

to your home and “walk in”!  The doors open and close, there’s plenty of

room to add all your favorite clothes, accessories and vanities!

Her GACHA items include the hanging clothes, pillows,

poses and many other related items!

♥♥♥

Take special note to LoveMe Skin’s “DAWN” as it is on sale for $100 Linden

at the current Designer Circle!! Dawn has a gorgeous fresh face and is available

in several skin tones, lip colors, beauty marks, cleavage plus along with appliers!

If you like selecting a skin to wear all the time, I totally suggest Dawn!

♥♥♥

Getting back to Exposeur, since I was using one of her newest items to show off,

I dug through my Exposeur folder and pulled out one of her vintage style expressive

poses to compliment the curious “mOnKeY in mY cLoSeT” who insists on answering

my telephone!!!  Ringaling!

♥♥♥

And finally….I just had to toss in this precious “Short Short Trailer” by

Irrie’s DollHouse.  You have to keep up with Irrie Ember’s designs

….all vintage….all stunning and unique!

What hangs out in your closet???

Hair Fair 2013 Photo Contest ~ Matrix ~ "Trinity"

Hair Fair 2013 Photo Contest ~ Matrix ~ “Trinity”

My HAIR FOLDER in SecondLife grows and grows!

Gets longer and longer ~ LOL 🙂

So, naturally this competition “snagged” my attention!

ENTRY #1~ MATRIX

I decided to (so far) add 2 entries to the contest.  I could never say I have a “favorite” all time movie, but the MATRIX evolution thrilled me in many ways.

The Music!  I could dance to the song “Fluke” by Zion all night (see video insert below).

And of course, the cavern dance scene was quite hot and steamy!

I always thought Trinity, played by Carrie-Anne Moss, was graced in revolutionary elegance throughout all the MATRIX movies.

This hair style by VANITY “Trinity” was perfect for this photo shoot depicting TRINITY!

I carefully looked through my inventory and marketplace and found this one to be supreme!

The slick black color and behavior in shape proved classical for the highlight of the shot  to depict one of the MOVIES THAT INSPIRE ME.

Hair Fair 2013 Photo Contest ~ The Tourist ~ "Elise"

Hair Fair 2013 Photo Contest ~ The Tourist ~ “Elise”

ENTRY #2 ~ THE TOURIST

I have watched the movie THE TOURIST many times, even including twice inside Second Life with my former business partner

who had created an exquisite movie theatre for us to take breaks and relax while getting away from projects at hand.

The hair by D!Va  “Zaara” is perfect as it’s wispy strands sway in the wind while you walk or pose.

The slight updo appearance gives it an appropriate style for the actress Angelina Jolie’s character, Elise;

especially in the ballroom scenes.

♕ This selection of hair is perfectly crowning for this ensemble! ♕

If you look at the movie posters, you will see how perfect this hair style is for this shot!  

And worthy of note: D!Va created this hair for the Miss Universe pageant in Second Life.

I chose this movie for a couple of reasons as well.

I receive many compliments while wearing this hair, no matter what color I choose.

I love the actress’s name in the movie “Elise”!  Well that’s my real middle name:  Elise’  ت

I have been to Venice several times in real life,

so the sims we have within SL that depict this beautiful and grand Italian city has called upon my visits many times.

The story line of this film is quite delightful as you follow the star’s peculiar eloquence and novelties of a suspenseful draw.

Trinity Convergence

I went on a “posing frenzy” with Trinity!  I found myself posing and posing (because the pose was still showing up in the corner of my viewer – hehe)!

So, I thought I’d share a couple more pix I did (these are not entries to the contest).

Exposing Exposeur Logo

I’ll be posing forever with all the marvelous poses and props I picked up at the POSE FAIR 2013!  Some I purchased, some were free, some exclusive

and some I had to make a mad dash to their shop to select others I fancied!

Exposeur places you into a precious pose when you hold the original rez box adorned with a lifelike dummy character parading from it’s package.

Morea Designs always holds a special place in my heart and prompts a quick touch of a “click” to drape myself with.  This minty gown ensemble coordinated perfectly with

Virtual Impressions’ MARISSA Pearl & Diamond Necklace and Earrings.

With a tap to the HUD you can interchange the colors of the pearls and stones and much to my delight, there is a large selection of choices.

Rag Dollz has continued to impress me with a variety of designs to their styles, so I remembered they created a wonderful minty teal mask tattoo for their “Teal Nights” dress.

And to make the pose and ambiance of the photograph “pop”, this sassy hair style entitled FLAMMA by Tukinowaguma melted into the setting of the

EXPOSEUR LAB BACKGROUND I created especially for this sequel of photographs.

My cherished friend, Alyssalillian, gifted me these lovely eyes she created with an astonishing human realness called ZC The Look – Impressionism Eyes3.  My ring holds a tender memory as a gift from my past, therefore the creation by Mistwood never leaves my finger.

Using my imagination I plunged deep into the mysterious golden forest to set my Clockwork Bird free.

✯ ☾ ☂ ☽ ✯

I know why the caged bird sings

Only joy comes from song

He’s so rare and beautiful to others

Why not just set him free!

Little Flowers Start To Bud

✯ ☾ ☂ ☽ ✯

As I heard thunder and lightning outside my bedroom window along with the howling of the vigorous wind ~ my next pose idea came to me with exposeur’s APRIL SHOWERS VINTAGE 3 collection of alluring poses.

Changing into another of my own designs ROSEATE DANCER FAIRY, I flew away to paradise to dance….ahhheeem….pose in the rain!

You can find the full set here:  https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ROSEATE-DANCER-FAIRY-wResizer-Flexi-Wings/4692995

I spend hours upon hours in photoshop creating my own textures and making sure they are crisp and detailed.

My buyer’s responses have been wonderful!

And every time I have one of my best friends IM me after they try them on, I am delighted with words such as:  WOW, SUCH DETAIL!

I am in love with this hair design by Vanity Hair entitled “Folie D’ete” !  Perfect for an evening out dancing or playing in the rain as it wafts so sublte yet strong in the wind!

These dazzling high heel shoes were created by Shoenique Designs called “Cinderella Diamond”!

✯ ☾ ☂ ☽ ✯
