just ignore and let this one die

And my next bargain/freebie find from B! Fashions: http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISOLA%20DI%20GIOVE/145/161/22



The slurl should put you right by the ice rink entrance and that is where the dress is.

Oh, that's gorgeous, Lil - thanks!!! *scurries off to find it*

Yup - that worked, Treasure!

I do not do landscapes much - which is why my aspect ratio is always set to a portrait - but I loved how this shot worked out.

Quick Update:

That's 12 right there - but we can make it a 16 month calendar if we get lots of volunteers. If nobody minds, we can do the same thing as last year - we set it for sale for L$100 and all proceeds went to my alt, HeiferInternational Xue, whose sole purpose is to account for donations to Heifer International. Last year we raised around $20 - enough to buy a flock of chickens for a family in need! (For more info on Heifer Int'l, go to www.heifer.org)

Ummm... even with the picture bigger, I can't tell what the heck is wrong with that bear's head...

Thank you, that is awesome... and the ice rink has some fun spins too.

These are really well detailed, and once the sculpties load, I can zoom the camera in and out and the shoes don't deform due to LOD problems (I haaate that). Nice!

The blue one? Well, he's hooded, right? With glowing eyes that are the only thing you can see within the hood. And of course a shepherd's crook . . . or a bishop's? Or something . . .

I find it bizarre that in SL, as in RL, there are things that I just "can't" wear . . . this would be one of them. I mean it's lovely, but it's just soooo not me . . . and I would look stupid in it.

On the other hand, I LOVE ice skating. I'd nearly forgotten how much fun that was last year. Especially with a snowball hud . . .

That's a hood? Ok... I'll take your word for it.

I often find myself uncomfortable if my human avatar doesn't LOOK comfortable to me. When I'm not human, it doesn't matter.

I had picked this up fully intending to wear jeans with it, but to my surprise the outfit really did look cute with the skates. It's worth picking up just for the cute mittens.

Oh, the mittens ARE nice! I could probably wear those. I'm trying to remember if I have a pair.

Last year I mostly wore either a hoodie or a duffle coat while I was skating. With a toque, of course (I AM Canadian, after all . . .)

G'night an g'mornin all!

It was a sorta quiet weekend for me, all in all. A lot of RL time an a bunch of inworld beta testing I hadda do, too.

The beta testing is for Cubey Terra, who is releasing his Terra Starburst parachute soon, an I was lucky enough to be one of a handful to get an advanced copy to try an break. So far, no luck at breaking it, as it's worked like a charm. It's really beautiful, too! Here's me, coming in for a soft landing at the Bay City Municipal Airport:



I followed a tip from the Forum Cartel chat an caught Zachh Cale in concert, Wow he was good! What a crowd, too!



Kid Scouts involved a trip to the zoo, including a fun petting zoo. Here we are in the pen:



I also got back into doin a bit more artsy sorta piccies with this one, I call it "Release."



An finally, I went an check out Madcow Cosmos's "The Day The Zoo Came To Town" with my sis an my friend Lisa, which was a lot of fun. Only thing to watch out for is comin' home with a friend, like I did when I brought home one mouth breeder. Well, it was one when I left the zoo!



An that's my weekend! I hope everyone else's was great fun, too!

"Tuque" actually . . .

Pep (Unless you were skating in a kitchen, that is.)

*waves to Mari as she floats overhead* *smiles*

I won a Cubey jet pack the other day! Can't wait til his new parachute comes out! *smiles*

lol, Mari...your quiet weekends are busier than my busy weekends! *grins*

And good morning, Threadies.

How about a blueberry french toast sandwich for breakfast?



I love blueberries - and they're good for you, too!!

{chases the butterfly around}

Is this a special "Chucky" pose?

Pep (Did someone say in another thread that kid avatars creep them out? They should see this pic.)

OMG that looks good.

Hmm. I suspect that "tuque" is MORE correct, but this one is complicated. The Concise OED doesn't even have an entry for "tuque"; the full OED entry for "tuque" lists it as


At the same time, the OED also lists under "toque" (as its third meaning) "Canad.='tuque', and gives a series of examples ranging up to 1977 from Canadian sources spelling it "toque."

Soooooo . . . I take it that both are acceptable for the knit cap, but that "tuque" is more common in this context.

Guess I'm really just a faux Canuck . . .

I was in a store that had a lot of pose setups, so I played around a bit:

oh, very nice, Lil!

And I like your new hair. (well...new to me. )

This is what happens when you let the groom order the wedding cake (linked rather than actually shown cuz not totally PG):

Thanks. The hair has been around a while and might be in a few pics, but it is not one I wear too often.

Nice pic, Lil.

Speaking of shoes... I just bought a pair and after I did, the display changed to the words "Sold Out!"

It gave me a nice feeling.
