Lucky Number 13!

Hey gang,

I’m getting ready to celebrate my 13th rezz day here in second life. (10.23)  I still can’t believe it’s been 13 years!  Why I was still a spring chicken back then!

How I Came to Second Life

We were in the process of selling our house and getting ready to move, and most things had been packed up, but I had my trusty little laptop.  I don’t know where I was reading but I saw a mention of a virtual world called Second Life.  I remember thinking, I wonder what a virtual world looks like!  I had time to kill and my curiosity to lead me and in I dove.

I chose a perfectly practical name thank you, thinking that’s what you did in a virtual world (had I known better I might have called myself willowmoon or something dreamy like that.) and I’m only just checking it out anyway.  I’ll probably only try it once or twice…

My earliest memories are of a lot of nekkid newbies jumping on each other and I was bemused.  Little horny nekkid animated people.  huh.  Imagine my surprise a few days later when I realized they had anatomically correct ones too! (the boys, I mean)  That was like Woah!  ok then!  lol

I wandered off to other areas and I found a house that was like a big log cabin and always empty so being clueless as I was, I would crash there (I was a squatter!  LOL), it was so cute.  I didn’t realize people had private residences, heck I dont know what I thought!

I started trying to put my avi together, back then, there were not nearly as many wonderful freebies as there are now, and what there was, wasn’t nearly as well made!  (The Free Dove was actually around but it was much smaller than it is now!) I took some photos outside that house….  Want to see noob me?  I warn you, it’s not pretty!  But I did get myself some decent hair somehow.  For back then anyway.

The grid has come a long long way since 2008 my friends.  !!!!!  This photo was taken right outside the cute house I used to crash in, I loved the little blanket area and the sparkly rainbows.  Second Life seems so much more real now, with mesh and things look so much better!

13 Years Later!

So now lets talk about my new photo (stark contrast!!!) cause I’ve got an adorbs outfit for you from Lunar.  My shorts, top and jacket are all part of the Chanty outfit which is a free group gift at Lunar (I love their stuff!  I am *dying* for their Lamu Jacket in Pink!), and that group is free to join.  The ensemble fits:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Legacy
• Maitreya

Each item comes with a HUD so you can pick and choose colors and make the outfit uniquely yours.

My cute golden flower headband is also a free group gift, this time from Evie, and woohoo that group is free to join as well.  Gotta love an entirely free cute outfit!

Tomorrow I think I will check out the fab free list of rezz day gifts, I always mean to and somehow always forget its my rezz day until it passes.  Not this time!  I need some goodies to blog too.  As if I need a reason to find freebies!

Happy Weekend!

There’s not much more I love in this world than puppies and horses.  Seriously, I could leave nearly all the human race behind and be on an island of puppies and horses, I would be one happy chickie!  Honestly, I talk more to animals, plants and inanimate objects than I do to other people most of the time!

Can you spell I N T R O V E R T?  lol!

Anyhoo!  Another thing I love is cute clothes that I can get for cheap or even better free!  Today I’ve got a super cheap cute outfit for you from Cremosas Store who is one of out Fab Free designers.  It is one of many in her store, this one is a romper that is overall style and soooooo cute for summertime!  This cute ensemble will cost you only 25L!  They do come in lots of different colors, but I chose purple.

Old mac donald found a sale ee i ee i oh!

Well its me again gang, Your favorite blonde, psychotic, shopaholic, head in the clouds blogger!  I hope you sang along with me!

As Aline already knows (and she *still* lets me blog!  I tell ya that girl is a saint!) and now you all do too, I love to change the words to songs, I generally make them very silly.  But sometimes they just come out downright BAD!  But that’s the fun in it!

I know, I know, y’all are waiting to find out what goodies I found for you this morning!  So, thanks to the group chat (which is usually loaded with fun info and helpful peeps like yerselves!) I learned of a little part of Scandalize that I (since I’ve been living under a rock, apparently, which someone once told me  lol) is just chock full of freebies!  It’s called Scandals Frees and News.  The group is free to join and it is an entire room of clothes and complete outfits that are totally free!  Really, if they had this sort of stuff back in the dark ages when I was a newbie, well, let’s just say I would have been much better dressed!   You can get an entire wardrobe here!

The cute pants and belt I am wearing are one of the things I found there. They come in this solid color and the same color but with cute little polka dots.  I found so much though don’t be surprised if they pop up in another blog post.  These super cute pants fit:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Legacy
• Maitreya

OK chickadees, this girl is *starving*! So I’m gonna go find some lunch.  Happy shopping y’all!
