Lessons

Hello lovelies!

I shouldn't be taking time to post but...pssshh. I AM! I wanted you all to know that I pinky promise to come back when things are a bit more settled in our new life! I don't have my normal computer so taking pictures is currently a big fat NO.

!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning. This Post contains a large rant regarding my RL. If you do not wish to laugh, cry and gasp in horror feel free to stop reading now! I'll get back to SL fashion when I can!!!!!!!!!!!

First off this is my first day with internet in over a week! Imagine that. I never realized how addicted I was until I had to drive to the dinky county library just to check my email or look up a location. It was a scary time that amounted to me reading a book a day or better. And this was all around unpacking!

Unpacking = hell. Not our unpacking mind you. The additional family moving in. Our items were out off the cars and 75% unpacked within 2 hours. They came with the  biggest U-haul truck. siigh.

Another downer is the house. Oh boy. When the world as I knew it lurched to a halt we made fast and often hard decisions. The biggest being to pack up what we could and get out of dodge before we really dug ourselves in a hole. That being said when the offer came from the in-laws to go on an adventure to a house they had inherited it seemed to be a perfect solution. Too bad the house looks like something you'd see on that show 'Extreme Home Makeovers'.  Currently I'm staring at a giant crack directly over my bed Waiting for the roof to fall in. To name a few of the issues: The house is so old that: the paint is peeled off outside, it was never wired properly so eventually one of us is going to electrocute everyone in the house, the carpets are green and brown shag (WTFH) and that's just the half of it. I believe this is where I start sobbing and bed Ty Penington to come save me. PS. Did I mention someone brilliant put a WINDOW in the shower. Yeahhhh. True story.

Another downer is the double family issues. The house is a lot smaller than we were led to believe. Instead of three bedrooms there are two. The kitchen is cramped and all the appliances need replacing. That being said you can picture what that does to two very different couples.  My relationship with my husband is still bubbly and fresh. Sure we've been together for four years, but we also have only been married for a month! We still like to have fun, be together and live. The in-laws are extremely religious and unbending. There is a certain 'women belong in the kitchen' vibe that grows stronger daily. My feminist side resents the "Man of the house" (yes that's what Mr. In-law calls himself) who thinks just because he demands it or snaps his fingers I'm supposed to hop to. Especially when I'm busy unpacking boxes so we can actually sleep on our beds. This living arrangement won't last long. Then of course theres Mrs. In-law. I like her for the most part. She can be a bit different but most of the time we get on fine. It's the times when she's too polite to say she wishes we hadn't come. The comments like "This was a big house for 2 people." Sorry, you should have spoken up sooner. Oh yeah and they don't eat meat suddenly. Uhm. To each their own but I'd rather walk away now than give up my meat.

So all in all this move has been a total bust. I do like the town, though it takes getting used to. It's small, there is no traffic but it often feels like it's a decade behind in times. There is a strong religious vibe, people are extremely friendly and will be glad to talk your ear off and the movie theater is so tiny you buy your tickets and candy at the same counter.

And that my readers is why Khloe is pretty much on hiatus. Much love and don't forget me! Keep your eyes peeled. I'm so ready to dive into a fall wardrobe!

Tickled Pink

My days are so full right now I'm having trouble even finding time to sit down and edit the pictures I pre took. Friday is the big day and despite having no furniture but our bed and desks left my living room looks like a war zone. Or an episode of hoarders. Tonight we have goodbye dinners with my family and tomorrow the rest of our furniture is being picked up by friends. Madness. I hate clutter/messes/unresolved bits and pieces/ AHHHH!!!!


In the meantime hurry on over to My Precious and snag this adorable pink confection! If I'm not mistaken it's currently available to non-group members until tomorrow for only 10L so get on it right away!!


Yay for pink fluffy dresses that make me feel like a princess! <3!

I like to Mesh Around

I won't lie. I still have my reservations about mesh. I know I've talked about it quite often recently so I'll try to make this one of my last meshy bits for a while. I mentioned previously that I had raided Jane so I wanted to show you two of the skirts I ended up with!


I ended up getting a maxi skirt and a pencil skirt. These two pieces were super important to me because as I've said, my booty tends to take over sculpted/prim skirts. So I was super excited to be able to rock these two gems.

I also want to be very clear that I have done no editing to change the look of either item. They didn't need it to get the point across!

Oh and the adorable shoes I'm wearing are from Koko's subscribo! Grab em while you can!

Speaking of adorable shoes...

I am so in love with these shoes from Lelutka. I had seen a RL ad similar to them and though I'm not a RL show freak I pretty much lost my mind over them. SO imagine my glee when my love Jayme shoots me an IM. I'm pretyty sure there was screaming about amazing shoes and then sudden tps..


Upon landing I was like "OH, look at your amazing shoes. yay for you!" I scanned over the price tag, scanned my Linden acount and got a bit pouty in my head. Darn it. Not enough Lindens. About this time I start plotting which of my horses I can pawn off for some cash. Then something AMAZING happens.

She bought me shoes!!!! Becasue she is amazing and the bestest friend ever... and and.. she knows I would love them. <3 I do. I really do.

WOW. That was the worst paragraph/story...ever? SO Anyway, that is the tale of how I came to own my first un-free/ subscribo/ group gift- shoes in... well a long long time! Thank you mama J! <3 You rockz!

Cuddles

I think this whole massive rain thing is really throwing me off. Currently I'm living in a warm weather state that , dare I say, is almost bearable right now. It's got a slight chill to the breeze and doesn't make me want to weep while I'm trudging inside and out.

Of course it also seems to have convinced my body that it's time for big fluffy hoodies and beef stew. I have a Guiness stew-like concoction heating up on the stove. Yums.

I also allowed myself to get dragged into the world of mesh now that FireStorm has a Mesh Beta viewer out atm. After hemming and hawing over my Linden balance I sucked it up and headed down to Jane.

I've previously discussed Jane's early attempts at mesh but I hadn't yet purchased anything. I was really holding out to see changes and for a darn viewer that didn't crash every 3 seconds.

I was pleasently surprised to see a few new additions to her already more than ample mesh cache. I was even more pleased as I stood there trying demos to see she had made more size options.

The last time I was there things were in Large or Small. I had a bit of a crisis. I tent to be between sizes in RL. Before I had even worked up to trying on a demo I had already gotten myself into a tither. I'm pretty sure there was some shrieking and a little bit of fist shaking. My husband just looking at me and shook his head. But NOOOW there are more options so gosh darnit something was going to fit. And it did! Like a glove. I ended up with a long skirt, hoodie and a cute dress.


As you can tell by my total lack of editing or trying I'm feeling like a bit of a bum today. At some point I will show you my other goodies but this is the awesome comfy hoodie I bought. It made me want to curl up!

Which I would be doing in RL if my living room *cough entire apartment cough* didn't look like we had held up a Uhaul. Oh boxes why must you take up so much sppppacccce. Sigh

I Don't Think You're Ready for this Jelly

Hello my lovelies! I am participating in yet ANOTHER blogger challange. They help keep me entertained I guess!

The challenge was put out there by Miss Gogo of Juicy Bomb! I have such a blog crush so I absolutely had to join in!

Because we all tend to focus so much on the front of our avatars when doing photos she has but out a call for all of us to showcase our derrière!

Snap some picks and be as creative as you like just show her how much junk (or how little!) you have in your trunk :D

I love this because I have a bit of a booty love in SL. Or sometimes hate. My avatar has a bit more curve on her lower half. No she isn't one of those abusers of the slider but she does have a bit of a ghetto booty. In fact it seems to be a constant issue when it comes to skirts or dresses in SL. I've spent many a day modifying clothing to fit my shape because I refuse to be a complete twig! Yay for booty!!!



I wasn't as creative as I could have been this time around but I thought it got the point across. Of course the whole time I sat there taking tons of pictures I had one some going through my head- Bootylicious. I know. Laugh all you want

If you too want to show off the booty you can post a comment or post on the challenge Flickr!! Challenge goes until the next one is posted so I'm sure you have some time!

PS. this is the first time I've actually watched the video. I grew up listening to Destiny's Child but the cheesiness of this cracked me up!

Sixty Linden Weekends-PurpleMoon

I wanted to give you all a little notice on PurpleMoons's 60L finds for the weekend!!



This is one of 3 sets at PurpleMoon selling for 60L a set this weekend Unfortunately the other 2 pictures refused to upload. These sets are a yellow peasant top/pants/nails and a multi colored purple dress with matching bangles! Gooo check it out! 

PS. Look for more information on Sixty Linden Weekend if you are not familiar. The list of stores is well over 100!

Allow me to fill you in

Hello my lovelies! I have lots to update you on!

First of all: I have goodies to show! folders full infact and I swear I'll get to them ASAP but it may take some time...because...

Secondly: I'm moving in a matter of 2 weeks. I should say we are UNEXPECTEDLY moving in 2 weeks. It's not entirely a 'yay' thing but it's not as bad as it could be i guess. SIGH

so..

I'll be taking a bit of a break because OMG I have to pack up our entire home in 2 weeks. And this is of course RL. *pulls hair*

With that being said- if i start ranting like a crazed person please forgive me in advance I'll get it under control as soon as the chaos sets in.. yeaaah. Whatever

oh, I got an SL job. Irony. I'm writing again and I'll fill you all in soon!

Okay and my absolute rant of the day is this:

If you are a designer/owner/customer service member/WHATEVER... Please include a notecard or at least an IM with the reason you are giving me something and who I should be giving due credit to. I get so many ims and things that sometimes they come in wonky and just sending me something with zero details on what the item costs, who its from or when its released leaves me in a bit of a rut.

Also, If I have not subscribed to your store/event/thingybob please don't just add me. Spamming me with information on your discount store just because I happened to stop in doesn't make me want to talk about you much. I'm sure that sounds bitchy and that a new blogger such as myself shouldn't be so choosy .... BUT, If I've been to your location and chose not to join anything or buy anything that doesn't give you a free for all to just take my information and use it at will. K thanks. All you have to do is ask! Most of the time I'm such a pushover I say yes anyway :P

Otherwise I looooove you all! See you when I see you
