So that guy is a friend of Treasure? I had no idea when I took the pic. :p

I had to look at the hair. See if any was in the shape, formed the shape of an X.

Because, you know, X marks the spot where Treasure can be found. I feared she might have been eaten.

@Argus - thanks for the updates. It's good to hear he's home and improving.

@Marianne - hope this is you tomorrow:



(I've been dying to use that picture!)


Great pic, Seven. :)

It reminds me of the artwork by Anne Taintor (http://www.annetaintor.com/):

Lula - I immediately thought of you and your love of authentic costumes when I saw this. Lemania made this gown, called Haitian Queen, to raise funds for the Red Cross for Haiti. It sells for 300L and all of the money goes to the charity -- Lemania is a designer that can be trusted on that. Here's the slurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lemania/65/73/22



Oh, that's a perfect dress for our Lula. :)

And the lindenz go to charity - wonderful!

Hey, this is almost a year old now, so I'm sure most of you have seen it, but I just ran across it . . .

Billie Holiday, singing Strange Fruit, in a really beautiful machinima . . .

Thank you, Scylla; I'd not seen it! Really amazing work. :) I love Billie Holiday, too. :)

Ew. Why would I want half a woman?

Very serial killer vibe there. Handling half the body of a woman. ew.

Soon I'm going to an appointment... on Christmas my family got me a gift certificate at this great spa down the street. It's for an hour massage, but I'm going to kick it up to 90 minutes.

Plus, it's a beautiful day outside.

I just spent like an hour writing an email to a potential employer who wanted some detail on my recent work experience. He had some specific questions. I wrote and wrote and thought, "Oh, god, this is getting too long!" Then I re-read his questions and started again, making my answer more compact and easier to read.

I also got in touch with a boss I had three jobs ago. I loved working with her, and she has recently been laid off too. So we compared notes. Great person.

I've also started getting into LinkedIn, which I never wanted to join, but kind of was forced to... it's sort of facebook for professional people. You can see who the people you know are connected to, or if you know anyone at a company you're interested in. I'm still figuring it out, but it seems to be helpful.

Anyway... massage!

Meh, I bought this nice leather jacket at the Aoharu sale and it's got BOOBS!:mad:

It looked unisex on the vendor. I hate when I do that.


From: Joshooah Lovenkraft
LOL it actually looks ok if you just look directly from the front but not so much from a side view. No transfer either, otherwise I'd give it away.

I got some other things but I always forget the stuff there looks great but there are a million attachments/variations and stuff takes forever to adjust.



That's been a recurring problem at Aoharu. :( And yeah...lots of prims. I have a few things from there..in particular, a winter jacket which I love...but oy, there are a lot of prim attachments.

I love that pic Eli. Probably two of the more realistic avs in all of SL lol.

@3 I think they call that a "treasure trail" :p

Oh and the two of you should check out Chakryn Forest http://world.secondlife.com/place/fcdbadce-5fae-008e-0565-535a43922c20


A treasure trail. Shame, cause it gives 'ick' to Treasure, too.......too much, too much, too much, saynomore,saynomore,saynomore!

This was taken in Chakryn Forest. I never realized how cool this place looked until I got my new computer. I really love their sculpted sunlight which changes with the time of day and I think they're only one prim. My inner nerd totally wants to figure out how they are made because they look like a complicated sculpted shape but making something similar would probably be beyond my pay grade in the sculpt department unless I could buy the sculpt map. The sunlight is so nice but kinda pricey though so I'm going to try and show some self-restraint, although I've had my eye on them for a long time. I'm calling this pic, "In Search of Unicorns" :)




oh wow, that 's a lovely shot in Chakryn Forest. Love that place. I've never heard of sculpted sunlight, so now I'm keen to go take a look see...

Hope all my thread folks are sleeping peacefully and having sweet dreams. No worries... I might post more of my nonsense overnight... you know... just to move the thread along. This has nothing to do with my own vanity (NOT)

Thank you sweet Lil! I love this dress! I also love that the proceeds go to a good cause.



Such a worthy cause.


See what I mean? A perfect dress for our Lula. :)

You look gorgeous!

Sorry, no pictures with The Statue of Liberty handy. Instead, how about a musical interlude until breakfast arrives.



Sorry, I got carried away, first by catching up on posts, and then by your...musical...talents. :)

Is it ok to post vanity pics of random people? I ran into these two guys at a music event recently.



Oh, I love this pic! Those guys look great! I wonder if the fellow on the right is a sumo wrestler. Do they have sumo wrestling inworld?

It's good that you're networking, and even better that you're headed for a 90-minute massage!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. :)
