Last post before I go on my Island Holiday with my daughter! Yes, we are finally going! Isn't that like the most beautiful pink you have ever seen? It's actually magenta.

week3 50 weeks of sexy challenge: sexual healing

For this week's blogger challenge, I thought fully dressed would be more challenging than showing too much skin. Also, the song sexual healing already gives the imagination more than one person can handle. It has to be two!
So here are my 2 models acting out what healing means in a slow sexy way:)

desolation

I am so used to waiting, I sometimes cannot differentiate between being taken advantage of and actually being patient.

summer in the city boho style

I love boho style fashions and this outfit was from Fatal for this week's grenade free wednesday. I took this shot at The Park in the City.

Week2 Better than chocolate

My take on week 2, 50 shades of sexy challenge, Better than chocolate.

We were so close and yet we never touch. I heard this phrase on TV once and it has stuck in my head forever. It was from a movie I have not seen yet but they were showing ad clips and that phrase rings so true for me with the people I have met in sl.

shopping at tdr fusion

I'm still in my beach holiday mood.
I like these tops from Kungler. I can dress them up or down.

dreaming of the beach

Liv-glam mesh clothes are usually a hit and miss for Moon. Unfortunately there are no demos to test beforehand, and after buying a few, I have come to the conclusion that if there are sleeves, there is a 50/50 chance that the dress would be too big for Moon.

Unlike this dress Tia I which comes with a texture hud.

I'm dressing down this dress because I'm thinking of Island holiday.... again.

I seriously want to spend some time out from my crazy home and onto the beach with my daughter.... not exotic Maldive or Mauritius but closer to home and not so expensive. I so need to see the sea and smell the salty air.

This is another picture taken at the Art box.

The Art Box

I saw a post about this sim on the fashion feed.

They have props for single and multiple poses. It would have been more fun to go with a group of friends and take pictures.
I was jumping sims when I took this picture:

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a LM and I don't remember the name of the sim except it was a LEA sim.

I learned how to import a blog

I know, I know it's nothing special, but this is the first time I did it so it felt like an achievement. I'm not going to delve into the reasoning, suffice to say, I needed to move on, get in line with my new years resolution of taking one day at a time.
Anyway, if any of you need to export/import a blog, here is the link. There is also a youtube tutorial.

Leather and old jeans

On Moon's rez day I had her wore this Liv-Glam combinations, Adorlee sculpted leather jacket and top(Secret Wednesday offer) and mesh jeans from Monique(past Secret Wednesday offer). Moon could not fit in the mesh jacket even with the XXS size. It just looked too big on her but I love the baggy jeans. Those clogs are  really old items.
And if there's any jewellery that I like to see Moon wear all the time, it's the heart pendant from League. It's so simple and yet appropriate for all styles.

Rezz Day!

Today is Moon's 4th rezz day. Personally, I have been in SL since Carter's birth, more than 5 years ago but this year is special for me. Moon has morphed into my real life opinions instead of just an avatar for roleplay as Carter used to be. I could not delete Carter because the first will always be special and I use her when I don't want to talk to anyone. I admit, I am not a social butterfly even if I love dressing up.
Anyway...
I am happy I carried on using this avatar after my roleplay character when sour. Firstly, it's so expensive to start a new avatar and secondly, experiences, good and bad makes a person and I found out for myself that the motto rl is rl and sl is sl is such a fake. Even in roleplay areas there are cliques outside of the acting and I could never be part of that no matter how I tried because I was always and forever an outsider.
Do I care? I used to but not so much now because I am at peace with myself. I am who I am and that is fine with me. So, enough of acting for me. I will project myself onto my avatar and hang around people who will accept me for who and what I am even if I do not hang out with them 24/7 and kiss their asses.

I've put this house up as a freebie in my Simple Things Mainstore and the marketplace. It's something that didn't go according to plan because while I was building the house, some things in my life didn't go the way I had hoped it would and the house turned out having this dark vibe. Well, to me it did and it reminded me of Jane Eyre... hence the name.
Nonetheless, I felt it is would be waste to trash the house because it would still be great in a roleplay sim.

Cool chick

I like plaid skirts and the shorter the cuter. This is Liv-Glam's Thursday offer. It's such a good deal. I have no idea what is wrong with Moon, but she has to wear a size S jacket and a size XXS skirt. I don't think she's top heavy but I guess that is mesh for you.
I also bought Belleza's FLF Teal Flash skin.

I was just telling a friend that if my avatar had worn sneakers, she would have looked like a school girl, but I didn't want Moon to look like jailbait.

sky high boots

The dress is actually from Kungler's November group gift, so I don't think you can get it anymore. The jewelleries are from Purplemoon. The clutch is from Sonatta Morales. Analog Dog hair.

And last, the reason for this post, those sky high boots from r2 at this month's Collabor88. I know I should have used a shorter sexier dress but boy, does this look classy on my avatar.

A handful of Hearts

No new stuffs today. After my earlier post, this is what I came up with.

a Victim of bullying

Today I want to write a post that is very personal to me. About bullies and their victims. I don't know why people bully others and what it is that makes people become victims. I think maybe it is just the timing when these things occur. Sometimes you escape from the vicious circle, sometimes you get trapped in it.

When I was 8 years old, there is this girl who was bigger than me and she was my friend or so I thought because being a shy, quiet girl, anyone speaking to me I assumed liked me and was my friend. We hanged out together a lot in school. One day, I was playing with her pen and I accidentally dropped it and I was certain it wasn't broken but she insisted it was and demanded that I pay for it. RM$50 for it. Back then, RM$50 was probably like RM$200. A whole lot of money. I realised later when I was older that that freaking pen was probably only a few dollars. She would harass me everyday. Until one day I did the worst thing a child would do. Steal money from their parent. I avoided her after that and would go home as fast as I could once school was over. Fortunately, we moved away soon after that. It helps being an army brat. You don't stick around too long.

As a parent I try to protect my children as best I could. I had no idea my youngest child was also bullied. She was small for her age. And a little slow in understanding what was going on in school compared to her elder siblings. I only saw this aspect so I send her for tuition and it had helped her a lot in her studies. As the years pass, she became a straight A student and went on to be a prefect in secondary school. This was when the bullying became worst. From no other person than the head prefect. By then my daughter has turned out into a very pretty girl. Beauty with brains. I think you know where this is leading. The head prefect was not and she would try to force my daughter to do things and my daughter would stand up for herself and for others who were bullied. It got really bad when the prefect found my daughter's blog and showed it to her mother and that mother in turn showed it to the principal. Unfortunately,  my daughter had bitched about the prefect in her blog and her words were not exactly lady-like. Also unfortunate, those people were connected.

My daughter got suspended from school and that was went she went into depression and we had to seek medical help. We moved her to another school and thank God the administrations and teachers there were very supportive of her. By the time she left school a year later, she was their top student.

3 years later, my daughter has a semester left of college and she's still a top student and she achieved her ambition to be on the cover of a fashion magazine. She told me she wanted to stick her face in theirs. Hah what better way!

And the bully? Who cares!

What I'm saying is, victims of bullies need to have the support of their communities apart from their parents, families and friends. Children can be mean but when you're a young child, it can be very difficult to get over the scars. Too bad parents do not remind their children to be kind to others often enough because this is where it all starts in my opinion.

So to all bullies out there. Your parents did not do a good job raising you and I hope you will do a better job raising your own.

Sheer tops from ALB

I'm into these colourful patterned tops from ALB. They are sheer and they don't have alpha because what is the point of sheer if you wear an alpha? It would also look weird. Anyway, the long hair covers modesty well enough.
There are 15 different colours and patterns. Some have the same pattern but different colour combination. I got so confused, I missed one and I have no idea which one I left out. It became too tiring my avie had to go raid the fridge:)

Week1:Cotton Candy

I decided to join the 50 shades of sexy challenge because it's not easy being sexy. So it's going to be a challenge for me. I wanted to do a non lingerie post, but I think I will wait for another time because when I think of sexy, the first thing I think of is underwear and bunnies. Go figure!

Skin:PXL faith olive
Bunny ears:+mocha+ Snow Bunny(past gift)
Jewellery: Donna Flora Sea Blood
Hair:Diva(Collabor January)
Lingerie:Insolence Leia Misty Rose Bra outfit(not sure if it's still available)
Shoe:PM Baby T Pale Pink
nails:Mandala

keep calm

I thought I could keep my cool when shopping at January's Collabor. I waited a whole week so that the crowd would die down.

I changed my outfit while I shop. How embarassing is that? Not very much because I do that in rl with shoes all the time. I don't look at other people when I shop so I just assume they don't either so....
When I got back, I hopped on the pose and took this shot.

Princess

When I saw this dress from Liv-Glam it reminded me of a retro princess. I love retro dresses. Nice that fashion always go in circle and now, strangely, it's staying. Does it mean designers have run out of ideas for the ordinary people? I'm not talking avantgarde fashions. Who wants to wear that kind of clothings as everyday wear?
Moon is wearing the xxs size. The dress is a bit on the big size.

Another dress from Liv-Glam. I like the turtle neck collar. Used to be with sculpt, this kind of collar always fail to sit well. This dress has a hud with other colour options and it was only 55L so that's a bargain. Moon is wearing the xs size.

I'm using the poses from Di's Opera.

shopping

This dress is very similar to Kungler's Loulou dress and since I loved that dress, I had to get this one at the TDR fusion. I usually wear this dress with long wavy(flexi parts) to hide the shoulders near the neck because the dress cut into the skin. Mesh is weird like that. The ankle boots are from Ison FLF. The bag and earrings are past hunt items at Purplemoon and the bracelet was a gift from past Jewellery Fair.
Last, I am using a pose from Di's Opera. There's a 50% sale on fatpack going on at the moment till end of the week.
Of course when my avie moves around SL, I loose the bag and the glasses. Otherwise I start feeling weird.

Look 11.01.13

I know. This is quite a -blah- look but I can't help it. I don't feel very glamorous. I think December took the glamour out of me and I just want my avatar to look comfy. I also wanted to wear the boots from last month's Collabor88 before I start shopping there again.
I'm starting to have this bad habit of buying and collecting stuffs and never using them. Not good.

Today's look

I love this skirt. It's netted and flouncy and it reminds me of retro and a lot of possibilities.

Outfit:*LpD* Princess Dress Blue
Boots: *LpD* City Style(from the Gypset this month)
Bag: {LC} Bag Lolita

Casual and cozy

The first week of the year had been busy for me. My youngest daughter burst her appendix and after surgery she was hospitalized for almost a week and I've been going back and forth to the hospital. She's home safe and well now. Thank God.
And.... a week away from SL, even though I logged for a few mins everyday to clear my mails, has made SL not so appealing.
Anyway, I felt like dressing Moon down today but not so dowdy.

Jacket: Sn@tch
Top: Coco

an island holiday

My daughter and I have been fantasizing an island holiday forever. Maldive or Mauritius. One day I hope to go to one these islands.
For now I'll imagine with my avatar.
