Space Bar

 

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. Malcolm X

Hey everyone, so the grid has some really really really great shopping. It’s so incredibly good, that I’m broke until Thursday. Say whaatttt? You will have to stick with me for the next few days, as I go into my blogging frenzy. But first let’s begin with this picture…

Collabor88 has a spacey theme.. from UFO’s to all things out of this world. It’s a really fun concept, and this is the time to pick up some really fun and funky items. My flying spaceship is from Reign. It’s really meant to be attached to you, so that you’re flying around in a UFO rather than walking. It’s pretty great. I adore it. If you do rez this ship, I do have to warn you.. it is a lot of prims. I would so suggest flying around in it. Then, there’s this panda.. this cute adorable panda. It’s by mishmish. There’s a decor option or a companion. The lamps and tiny flying UFO are from Schendenfreude. It has a hud to change the textures. It’s a wonderful item, if you like a mod style to your decor. I like it because the lamps are extremely unique. I really haven’t seen anything quite like it in my second life shopping travels. The bar sign and table are from second spaces. I used this sign as an inspiration for this photo. I also included this funky chair that pairs great with the lamps. Soy made this ultra funky hip chair. And then my backdrop is from Foxcity. The backdrop has some really bright and beautiful lighting. I always have this special place in my heart for Foxcity. I tend to use their windlighs quite a bit, so I’m a little partial to this brand.

Finally, we absolutely must talk about my out of this world outfit. My bodysuit and cuffs are by the none other Eliavah. She created this futuristic bodysuit. Again, this item is really unique with the glow of the cuffs, to the glowing parts of the bodysuit. The piping can be changed, that lines this outfit. The belt has color and medal options too. There’s so many options for textures, and the fatpack has so many options for piping, bodysuit, and glow–along with the belt and metal. The texture of the bodysuit has a beautiful sheen to it. It’s a really fun piece to have in your inventory for those out of this world parties. And then this hair.. this really cute hair is by monso. My hair has a truly romantic feel. It can be paired with so many different types of outfits from romantic to fashion forward. This wig is definitely a great hairstyle for those hot summer months. Then, finally, there’s this really dainty cute necklace, which is by La Baguette. Before I forget, my pose is by Fashiowl. I pulled this whole picture together with this completely fabulous pose, which is available on the marketplace.

I’ve so enjoyed making this picture. I know there are some incredibly things at collabor88 this round..special and different than your every day items. I hope you too find something special at this months round. Bring family or a friend with you and have a blast.

Before I leave you to the credits, I want to talk about my quote. I’ve been on a kick this past few posts about peace. As some may know, June is pride. I think peace, love, and acceptance are just so important. I think Malcom X said it best with this quote. You really can’t be at peace without freedom. Pride is all about freedom… the freedom to be who you are, because you can’t truly be at peace without being able to be who you are. That’s what this month is all about the freedom of being who you are. I hope everyone is having a happy pride. My Pride picture is yet to come, so stay tuned my loyal followers. I will be back.

Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Stay Cool

 

The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things. Peace Pilgrim

So I’m doing this quick little blog. I’ve been a busy bee it seems like inworld. See I love the summe. But in reality, it has been all rain. It is an incredibly rainy summer this year. So hello second life and sunny days, which means.. I’m wearing all things summer.

If you feel the need for bright sunshine and bikinis, well I have the events and sims to visit. This really great bathing suit was created by Eliavah for Kustom9. It’s a really fun summer piece. It’s comes in multiple colors, and there’s a hud to control the lining, metals, and strings. There are so many textures available. Don’t miss out. And my hair.. oh my cute cute cute hair. Thanks to Doux.. I may have to rock this hair a bit this summer. It’s pushed back with a cute bow headband and there’s a hud that gives you an option to change the color of the bow. You can find it at their mainstore. Finally, my pose comes from Vanity. It’s by fashiowl. It’s appropriately named summer time, and the beach ball’s textures can be changed. These pieces have so many options. If you like any of the pieces above, please check out my credits located down below.

So June is pride. Second Life Pride is raising money for the rainbow railroad, which gives people a shot at love in a safer country. As some know, some places in the world are just flat out dangerous to be a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex. Some governments even encouraging violence upon individuals in this community. By donating money, people are given the chance just to live their lives, without the fear of being put in jail or killed by their government. Several sims, clubs, and events have set up kiosks, encouraging others to donate to this wonderful cause. Second life pride is raising money for the Rainbow Railroad, please donate to the cause. For further information, please click on this link …Rainbow Railroad

I chose this quote, because I couldn’t have said it any better. Love really is the greatest power in the world. I agree that peace and love are part of the same path. What difference this world would be if we chose love over violence… I will always keep faith for a better tomorrow.

Get out there, bring a friend shop, donate, and remember.. make some time to shake your booty in your knew wig, and clothes–bring a friend.

As always, be kind to one another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Bad Guy

 

Heroes aren’t supposed to do bad things. That’s what villains are for. So either the good supersedes the bad, or the bad makes it impossible to remember the good. We don’t like it when such duality exists in one person. We don’t want to know our heroes are human. LZ Granderson

So I am a HUGE marvel fan. There’s nothing better in the summer than seeing movies about heroes and villains. And I have yet to see Endgame, but I am so  going to see it. I love the ideas of good guys/gals and bad guys/gals. But I have to say…. I love when the hero is the person that you would least expect.. or even when the villain is the person you least expect. There’s something great about that dynamic. I’ve always wanted to play the bad guy in a photo. And this picture definitely gave me that opportunity. To say that I was excited to do this picture is definitely an understatement. This was the day.. I ruined Alisha’s dress.

Okay, I am going to jump right into all the wonderful companies that helped me play the bad guy for at least an hour, during this photo shoot. Lets start off with my ever so gorgeous sweater. It’s sexy and surprising, also really fun to wear. It’s by eliavah and available in her mainstore. I admit that it was an earlier release in an event, but I was unable to get to blogging, due to real life responsibilities. Anyway, moving right along here, now these sexy hawt shorts are by Mossu and you can find this super comfy summer necessity at Collabor88. My gorgeous hair is by Doux and you can pick up this wig at Equal 10. Finally my mask is by the great vinyl, and you can pick it up in their mainstore. Now on to , the beautiful Ali, her dress and boots are from collabor88. the dress is from Emery and her sexy boots are from Empire. The glam hair is from again the wonderful company Doux and you can find it at this month’s Access. Also her jewelry and blindfold also come from collabor88. The blindfold is from LaGyo and her sexy naughty jewelry is from Bueno.

Now, I would like to talk about this really great scene. The backdrop comes from Boys to the bone and is located in the top floor of their mainstore. I was really surprised that this really funky backdrop was by boys to the bone, but I really like it and can see myself using it as part of my decor on my land–not just as a backdrop. Okay, okay, I HAVE to talk about the really fun van. DRD created this van awhile ago and I’ve been dying to make it part of one of my blog posts. It’s called.. wait for it.. the Joint Delivery van. The van even comes with a stoned animation. I have to say this may be one of my favorite funky things in my inventory. I am a little biased though. About a year ago, I was put on a medical cannabis program, due to my increasing pain levels. I was against it for a very long time, until I myself needed this drug to function on some levels. It has given me quality of life and the ability to go out and enjoy life–it’s more than just smoking it. It has topicals and CBN infused bandages for sleep. It helps a lot of people and does a lot of good. I am now a medical cannabis advocate in my real life, because of my own experience. Okay now onto my shopping cart, it’s by anxiety and found at their mainstore.. again it comes with some great poses. It’s nice for pictures but can also be used for decor. Finally, the maitress in the background is by anc and this too can be found at their mainstore.

Whew, thank you for sticking with me through all of thattttt. I know that was a lot of items to go through, but it takes a lot of creators to make wonderful products for photos. Without them, I would never be able to take such fun pictures, so I am always thankful for their time and effort.

I hope something in real life inspires your second life. Get out there and go shopping.. Remember bring a friend. For further info please check down below for credits.

Before I go, I would like to make a quick apology to Eliavah for this tardy post. Her beautiful garment was originally featured at a really great event Equal 10. It has moved to her mainstore now though. Again I am sorry to get this out so late. Real life did prevent me from posting this earlier. So if you missed the event too, please go check this great sweater out at her mainstore. It really is a fun hoodie.

Okay.. last note, I promise. Yesterday was the beginning of second life pride. It’s running from the 14 th to the 23rd. They’re also raising for the rainbow railroad. Please be kind and donate to this worthy cause. ♥.. oh and shake ya booty 🙂 second life pride

Okay get out there and shop.. and remember…Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet xoxo

Coffee Break

 

I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they’re sorry and an even stronger person to forgive. Yolanda Hadid

I have been to so many events in the last week, so I have my work cut out for me. So many great designers are putting out some really great items. I decided to jump right in and talk about everything second life shopping for June. And here we go…..

I want to talk about this whole outfit… as well as poses. My awesome poses are by the great Cuca@Designs. It’s the cuppa Joe and Jane poses. You can find this pose set at Flourish. My shirt is by the ever fabulous Eliavah. This shirt is so gorgeous. Eliavah created this beautiful top for Fameshed. My wind swept hair is none other the wonderful Exile and you can find this beautiful swept away wig at Collabor88. My shoes are from Utopia@Design, which is also featured at Fameshed. Can we talk about shoes, I really adore these heels. I’m so going to rock them all the time this summer.  Lets not forget about this really fabulous handbag by Vive Nine. I found this at their mainstore. I recently won a contest for Vive Nine, so I was going through their store and checking out a lot of their clothes and accessories. They are not a store to be missed. They have some great pieces. Check them out. I can see myself using my fab bag all around town. And if you like this gentleman’s shirt.. you have to look no further than Anthem. It’s by always fantastic Gabriel. If you would like some further info, please check my credits out down below.

My quote on forgiveness… well my sweet honey bees, forgiveness is always something that I think about often. We’ve all been on both ends of forgiveness.. giving, or receiving forgiveness. It’s like a cat scratching you, but you forgive the cat and still cuddle, because well you love them. It’s kind of like that. I think about it often because I find it interesting how it’s easy to forgive some situations easier than others. I guess it sparked something that happened to me in rl. I forgave someone for almost breaking something of mine.. that had sentimental value. I was lucky it didn’t break, but … It also made me think that even if they did break it.. I would have still forgiven them, because I care about them–but also for myself. I didn’t want to hold onto that anger. It serves no purpose to hold onto anger. Holding onto anger holds a person back, from feeling happiness in the moment. It prevents us from enjoying the good that could be happening around us. It steals our time.. our happiness.. and our moments.

Sometimes it really is just best to forgive. And then after forgive… you could just go shopping inworld… like I did 😀

Seriously, there’s some really great stuff out there and I look forward to sharing all the wonderful shopping out there. Here’s to shopping.. grab a friend and enjoy….

Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

out of here

We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture. Robin Williams

 

It feels like forever since I wrote my last blog. But here I am, and I am about to talk about one of my favorite events.. Collabor88. Yup, it’s about to come to a close, so you’ll have to hurry to get these items.

This round was one of my favorite rounds. I have a special place in my heart for the desert. Everything this round reminded me of a trip to Nevada that I took.. very long ago. It was the first time.. I went camping. It was the first time that I paddled out to the middle of a lake in a boat. And I got to see the Grand Canyon. And.. it was my first time going to a Native American Reservation. I had a lot of good memories from that trip. Everyone cherishes a memory. That’s just one of mine.

So I have a special place in my heart for events reminding me of this time. Collabor88 closes soon, so you’ll have to get your desert gear before the new round begins. The new round begins on the 8th. You will definitely have to hurry, if you like any of these items. This picture includes so many great second life companies: Phedora, Zenith, Monso, Minimal, Disorderly, Yokai, Half Deer, Random Matter, Kalopsia, and Jian. Whew, there’s a lot of companies in this picture. They all did a fantastic job though. And just look at those adorable puppies. I have ALWAYS wanted a lab, so this purchase was so easy to make. I will probably rez them all the time at my house. They are too cute for words. Also The Arcade just opened. This cute cat playing with a cherry from an ice cream cone is from DISORDERLY. from a gacha machine at The Arcade. I absolutely love it. All these cute little animals makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I was talking to a friend inworld. She helped me to remember going to a reservation and feeling an intense calm wash over me. It’s just not something you forget. Then you add this round of collabor88 (which is about to close), it put a smile on my face.. that is for sure. The bright colors, bohemian treasures, wonderful furniture, and cute adorable animals, truly they are worth checking out before the new round begins. If you haven’t gone, please go before it closes. Don’t miss out.. think of this as last call .. like in a bar, but for an event. There were just so many great products this round. Hurry and pick up those last few items.

Normally, I have a serious, thoughtful and insightful quote. I opted for a silly quote from one of my favorite comedians instead… may he rest in peace. Sometimes you just need a little humor in your life. And I definitely need a good laugh. Who doesn’t? Funny moments and happy memories are truly the great parts of life.

You will have to look down below for credits. I hope you all see something that reminds you of a happy memory or find something that makes you laugh.

Be Kind To One Another

cheers,

Violet XOXO
