Scared Silly

Diabetes.
I, like nearly 10% of the US population,
have it.
Although, I try to deny it and will occasionally
laugh about it, Diabetes is no joking matter.
It has left me vision impaired and more which
is why it was a no-brainer for me to join
Team Diabetes of Second Life in their
3rd Annual Scare Me Silly Event.

Team Diabetes of Second Life is an official and authorized team of The American Diabetes Association. The mission of Team Diabetes of Second Life is to raise awareness, tolerance, and funds for diabetes in the virtual world of Second Life. According to the World Health Organization (2016): 422 million adults in the world have diabetes and 1.5 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year.

I don’t wanna die.
Not yet.
That is why I’m taking this event to heart.
As a message.
It’s time I stop my lax approach to this disease, pull up my big girl panties,
take the prescribed medications and better my health.
But, that will only be the beginning.

Scare Me Silly is an all inclusive event.
Running until October 27th, it features two Hunts, Live Performers,
DJ’s and an Art Show.
Designers have come out in hoards making shopping a treat.
Roped Passions is one of those designers.
With 100% of it’s sales going toward the event, I give you
Halloween All A Glow.

Designed to make any Halloween a scary pleasure,
Roped Passions’ Halloween All A Glow is available in two colors: Orange and Purple.
Compatible with Maitreya, Belleza and Slink Mesh Bodies,
these silky Silks cling to your curves giving way to a much sexier you.

Hmmmm…
I wonder if consuming pumpkin would be good for me.
The American Diabetes Association states,
“They are high in iron and unsaturated fats.
These unsaturated fats may help to lower cholesterol levels
when they replace saturated fats and trans-fat in the diet.”

Is that so?
Heeere, punkin’, punkin’….

Pay Attention

It’s hard.
Not multi-tasking and giving one single item,
task or idea your undivided attention.
Tis the way of the world.
There’s no time for idle time and being in the moment is all in the past.
Well….
STOP.
For the next few moments, pay attention and concentrate on this….
Rock Your Rack, now in it’s 6th year raising funds to support
the National Breast Cancer Foundation,
has raised over $1500 US Dollars so far.
Beginning a mere 9 days ago, they have topped their records from last year.
Designers who have made this possible are:

DE.Boutique
and
Alaskametro.

The later presents us with two offerings of makeup that only she can bring.
Alaskametro‘s New Wave takes us Retro with its stunning
Palette for Lips and Eyes.
Appliers are sold separately for Lelutka, Catwa & Omega
as well as Bakes-on-Mesh Layers in the Fatpack.
Alaska is donating 100% of New Wave’s proceeds to the event.

Her second offering is Instaglam, a limited set of dark glitter lipsticks
just in time for Autumn.
Sold in Fatpacks only, appliers include Lelutka, Catwa and Omega
as well as Bakes-on-Mesh Layers.
100%  of it’s proceeds are donated, as well.
To reach Alaskametro’s RYR booth directly, click HERE.

Deborah Vos, CEO of DE.Boutique brings a Call of Beauty
to the Rack with Berry.
Standing at attention, the Berry Outfit is a long-sleeve mini Dress
titled Esther along with thigh-high CeCe Boots
Compatible with Maitreya, Belleza and Slink Mesh Bodies, this set is
Limited and only available during the event.

Well, now.
You are released.
I no longer need your undivided attention.
I’ve said all I need to say for now.

Oh, wait.
One last thing.
Have I told you lately just how amazing you are……

Captured

I don’t know what came over me.
Maybe it was his music.
His voice, perhaps.
Kindness, Attention he paid, Patience.
Whatever it was..
I. Was. Captured.

Ever met someone and all circumstances go out the window?
You shake yourself trying to wake up — asking,
“Are you crazy” with the obvious answer being
“Hell yes!”

There is no story without pain and pain
always comes with a story.
It’s times like these that I pull myself up by a tuft of my fur,
take a deep cleansing breath and
move forward one determined step at a time.
Do I smile?
Nope.
That’d be fake and I’m on the real.
How do I dress?
Sexy.
Powerful.
Byrne.

Byrne, owner and designer of Byrne Boutique has created
an outfit that I simply had to blog.
Her and I have been friends for years and although she
did not directly ask me to blog her Rock Your Rack Exclusive
called Ronnie, she probably knew I would.

The coloooor!
Ronnie hits me all upside my Captured head with bountiful
boldness that’s sticky sweet.
Being a Long Dress, Crocheted Bra (Maitreya & Omega Appliers)
and a Bouffant Hairdo (not shown),
Ronnie makes the wrong seem right.
Coming in three color options, she is compatible with most Mesh Bodies.

My RYR Friendship ties don’t end with Byrne…

Lua Vendetta.
I’d seen her throughout my years as a model,
but it wasn’t until a Halloween show where
she was a Prom Queen doing a Bob Ross (beating the devil out)
on a rival’s head that all communication barriers crumbled for me.
I laughed my ass off and still to this day, I can’t shake that image.
Yes, Lua.
This is Zoomy Bluebird.
Thank you for instilling such a wonderful memory
and continuing with LUNA.
Bringing us Body Art Music, a Limited manicure and pedicure set
at Rock Your Rack, LUNA makes your nails sing.
Created for Slink, Dynamics, Vista Bento, Belleza and Maitreya,
Body Art Music gives you the option to change your nails Black
as pictured above or White.

Onix.
Being the newest friend of the three,
I met Onix earlier this year.
She’s a beautiful person on the inside and knows how
to present that beauty outwardly.
Case in point: ALMA Makeup.

Pampa is a unique set of three lipsticks created by ALMA.
Inspired by “Argentinian-Gaucha Culture“, Onix has offered
these lippies to Rock Your Rack as a 100% donation.
Pictured above, they are available for Lelutka, Catwa
and Omega Heads only and is a Limited Edition set.
So once she’s gone, you’re out of luck.

My advice?
Come to Rock Your Rack and be Captured…..

Tell The Truth

I’ve gained weight, haven’t I?
Should I get plastic surgery?
Does my butt look like an end table in this dress?

Loaded questions!
To whom those are addressed to, most know that to answer them straight forward is asking for an invitation to sudden death.
There is a way to tell the truth, however, without needless pain and suffering…

If you have, it’s all in the right places.
Why get a breast lift when I can hold them for you for free?
An end table should be so lucky.

BOOYAH!
You live another day.
However, come here for a second…
Does my butt look like an end table in this dress?

This dress is called Burn Orange Japanese Silk and
Designs By Soosy (DBS) is the creator.
Bright with colors bursting from it’s seams, this mini
is compatible with Belleza, Maitreya and Slink Mesh Bodies.
For the daring, panties aren’t included.
However, DBS  has included Mocca Stockings via an Omega Applier
to give your legs some umpf.

As far as end tables are concerned,
Anna’s Attic has that covered with the Beats Pallet Set.
I have a long history with pallets, so sitting on Anna’s
comfy couch brought back memories.
At first, I thought this set was dubbed Beats because of
it’s use of pallets.  It’s no secret that the wooden flats
take quite a beating carrying load after load of
precious cargo.  But, that’s not what Anna had in mind.
You see, the couch has 8 single dances and 1 Couples
Sway dance included along with several sitting animations.
The DJ Turntable comes with it’s own animation allowing
you to play your tunes and rock out all at the same time.
So, the Beats part of this set’s name is in reference to the music
you’ll be bopping to while using it.
The remainder of  the set is a Pallet Table, End Table, 2 sets of Headphones
and a Neon Lava Lamp.

Both creations from DBS and Anna’s Attics can be found at Rock Your Rack.
If you haven’t heard, Rock Your Rack is a charity even for breast cancer.
 Now in it’s 6th year, RYR involves 72 Designers,
features 2D/3D Artists and 3 Tribute Concerts.
Is that all?
NOPE!
Rock is also rocking it with 23 DJ Dance Parties, 12 Live Music Artist Shows, 6 Fashion Shows, the 10L Hunt and Silent Auctions.
It is an all inclusive event where there is literally something for everybody.

Beginning September 29th and lasting until October 13th,
the time has come for us to help raise money for such a
worthy cause.
You know you wanna.
Come on.
Tell the truth…..

We’re taking care of it.
Handling it.
Minding our own.
Some of us are in other people’s.
But, I haven’t the time.
I’m too busy getting down to mine.

Business.
Day in and day out we are caught up in it.
Our lives demand it.
It interrupts our spare time and we comply.
For, it’s understood that taking care of it
before pleasure is paramount.

Business.
Dressing the part is key.
Monkey suit.
Power suit.
Conservative.
CEO.
LUXE Paris.

What Would Wednesday Do?

The Addams Family.
One of my favorite all time clans.
My love began as a young girl when Gomez was portrayed by John Astin
and Carolyn Jones, his beloved Morticia.
Besides Lurch who’s looks and statue demanded your attention,
the rest of the family was just so-so for me.
That is until 1991 rolled around and the Addams’ were invaded
by the likes of Raul Julia (I miss him so much), Anjelica Huston
and Christopher Lloyd as Fester (what a talent!).
I can honestly say I was bowled over by the entire cast, but it was the little
brunette I was struck by every single time she was on the screen.
She was pale, emotionless and would torture her brother
whenever given the chance.
“Wednesday, play with your food.”
I am, of course, speaking of none other than the creepier-than-life,
Wednesday Addams portrayed flawlessly by Christina Ricci.
Honestly, she’s a kid I wouldn’t mind having (back when I was having kids)
and while some are wondering WWJD, I’m speculating WWWD?

Wednesday would be sitting alone, eating greasy-ass Chinese food,
wearing So0o Meshed Up‘s  Mondrian Dress all while
plotting and planning the fate of her next victim.
Like her dress — colorful below while dark and deadly above — Wednesday
would lure her prey with pleasantries of a fast tongue and then pounce 
when the time was right.
Probably similar to how you should pounce on over to
DAZZLE this August to lure in your own Mondrian Dress.
While you’re at it, bring a male companion.
So0o Meshed Up has a Mondrian Suit for his mesh Signature or Slink body
which perfectly matches your outfit.

Do It.
Wednesday wants you to.
And whatever Wednesday wants, Wednesday gets….
