I Don't Like Cities, But I Like New York..

In my 26 years on this planet, I've honestly not been far away from home very often. And by not very far, I mean within approximately 60 kilometers away from where I was born.

The only vacation my parents ever took me and my brothers on, their idea of "away" was just another part of Denmark. Don't get me wrong, I love my country and we have some beautiful locations.. But as a 10 year old child, all I could think was, "Gosh I wonder what the Caribbean looks like?"

If I had to choose now, I wouldn't go somewhere that would require me to lie on a beach all day.. I think I managed to explain in the previous blog post that it doesn't turn out well for me.

Instead, I'd go visit the Empire State Building and The Museum of Modern Art.. Oh yeah, New York baby. That's my destination.. you know, when I have the money, and the time, and I get over my fear of flying. So if anyone's got a free bus ride available, hit me up ;)

So for this photo, I tried something I haven't before.. And that's using a green screen. It took me a while and a lot of reading to figure out how to rid of that pesky green hue along the border once I'd applied the mask. It was rather fun trying to place my avatar in a real life setting and it probably won't be the last attempt.

For this rather metropolitan looking outfit, I chose to wear a new dress from .:Vimitri:.

There's some part of me that's always thought a pencil skirt or dress is the epiphany of posh ladies, so go home Carrie Bradshaw.. there's a new bitch in town.

Give Me Love Like Her

Second Life is big big place.. Always new places to see, always new items to purchase, always new people to meet. I don't meet as many people as I used to, to be honest.

These days, I'm either taking pictures, writing, hanging out with my fiancé and/or friends or shopping. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before in a former blog post, and yet I've done very little to change it up.

But then again, sometimes I can't but wonder... why change it up? The people I have around me make every day in Second Life an absolute joy.

Faylinn is one of those people.

It's fun to think sometimes, that had I not applied to blog for .:Buttery Toast:. would I then even have got to know such a wonderful human being?

Chances are that I would not... But thankfully, things worked out the way they have, and she's a freaking pleasure to be in proximity of. ♥

She's also one of my favourite go-to people when it comes to excessive shopping.. especially when it comes to events. This time, we both went mental at the new round of Kustom9 and ended up drooling over the shirt and skirts by [MotiAme]. They come in a bunch of colours that you can mix and match as you please.

Another new favourite of mine from this round, is the glasses from .tgs. where the hud will allow you to change the lenses.. As much as I love the various options, I did end up going for clear though as I felt it was the most appropriate for this look.

If you'd like to know what Fay is wearing in this picture, then head over to her blog Enter My Wardrobe and snatch up her little shopping secrets. XD

Also check out those pictures of hers.. absolutely effin' stunning.. *only dies of jealousy a little bit*

Hair Fair '14

If you haven't heard already, the Hair Fair has begun ! ^^

When someone told me about this event, I think my expression must have been similar to the kid in Home Alone, and I've been looking forward to it like someone waiting for presents on Christmas morning..

When you go and purchase a hair from any designer at the event, a minimum of 15% goes to Wigs for Kids. Any percentage higher than that is up to the individual designer.

You will also find donation boxes scattered across the 4 sims where you can donate any amount you see fit :)

Now going to the Hair Fair can be a bit confusing if you're not prepared. Like I mentioned, it takes up 4 sims, each named after a hair colour. So it's up to you where you would like to go first... All attempts of teleporting will take you to a certain point, so if you'd like to go to a particular store, open up your map, type in the coordinates and walk towards the red indicator. It'll save you a lot of time and avoid the risks of not being able to enter again, especially in these first couple of days where the sims are full.

The hairs on the blog photo are all from Milana. I was so happy to see her join this event as I don't think it's a hairstore that's adverticed nearly enough as it deserves.. She's got some truly stunning hairstyles and these are no exception ♥
