i blessed the rains down in africa

I’ve blogged three times today. That’s got to be some sort of record for me. I think I’m feeling an end of the summer scramble, on top of the fact that my sponsors keep releasing some really amazing products that I can’t resist sharing.

I’m glad I was actually paying attention to my in world blogger group notices, to realize that Decoy is re-opening their blogger applications for Fall/Winter releases, and this outfit is the final set of items for the current round of bloggers. It’s a Gacha for The Arcade event, and I’m not gonna lie y’all…I’m super happy to be a blogger, because this is one outfit, I’d exercise finger-crossing and mad trade skills to put together. Obviously I’m reapplying because I love the quality of Decoy’s designs, and sometimes it pushes my fashion envelope into fantasy without being extreme or over the top. If you have a passion for blogging, I highly recommend applying. You can find details here.

I’m so so happy that Candela Kira is back from vacation. She’s the designer behind Runaway Hair, and her designs with additional mesh hair bases are game changing. This type of hairbase looks less painted on, adds dimension to the hairline, and really works even better over a traditional hair base. I’ve starting wearing it with ponytail type styles with other brands.

Belleza released a new skin for LeLutka heads at this round of TLC. I won’t gush. Picture is worth a thousand words:

I AM  gushing over a new sim I found to take photographs. Athenaeum is a GORGEOUS sim, with so many nooks and crannies of quirky and nostalgic feels. There is a great Flickr group for photos taken on the sim that is definitely worth a follow.

I think this is the longest post I’ve written in years. Clearly I’m feeling inspired in my SecondLife at the moment. Thank you so much to my Sponsors.
