One Belle Avenue, Second Life

Just a quick post before I head off to a night full of wonderful slumber (hopefully).

Today was Black Friday and it sucked - waiting in long lines and still not getting what I wanted gave me a killer headache. I came home and logged into SL and prepared for the One Eleven Event. I tried and tried to get to the vent, but TP try after try, I was denied. I figured the SL Black Friday was going to go the way of my RL Black Friday, until finally, this came up on my chat: [06:05 PM]  Requesting Teleport...
[06:05 PM]  Contacting new region.

I was SO happy! I was in the One Eleven Event.  Time to start clicking 'buy' on the items I wanted. Then, SCREECH!!  The prices were outrageous! There were no deals like in RL Black Friday - just limited edition items. I had to rethink things - fast - because there were a lot of bitchiness in the room (remove your prims, you're causing lag; stop moving, you're causing lag; you're standing still, you're causing lag; and my favorite, you're talking, you're causing lag).

So I picked up the !Ohmai Azure's Pico Sweater {Vintage}. I had to have this.  It's a lovely sweater. I had to do very little adjusting to the prims. Maybe I finally got my, uh, breast size right LOL!

Some days you just get in the mood for period pieces...I know the first thing that went into your mind was the Victorian era or something very similar. I like to stay a bit more current than that. My last post was inspired by the 1940's, this post is a little more current, but still retro. I traveled to many new places (to me, that is), searching for the right pieces to complete the look.

I have enjoyed wearing this outfit and have been doing so for awhile now.  I feel like Lois Lane from the old Superman comics or some 1940's pinup girl. I wasn't going to blog this, but I've had quite a few requests for this outfit so here it goes :-)
