A moment in time

” Photography’s vaunted capture of a
moment in time is the seizure and freezing
of Presence. It is the image of simultaneity,
of the way that everything within a given
space at a given moment is present to
everything else; it  is the declaration of the
seamless integrity of the real.”
— Rosalind E. Krauss

Wine”O”Clock

I am  back  once  again to  bring  you a  few  items  from  The Gacha Garden, I  know  it has again  been  a few  days but  my  hope  is that  I  can get  a few  posts  out.  As  much as I  plan it  seems that  life  has  its  own  way of  doing  away with  them.
But lets  move  forward. When  I was  passed the Kei’s retro collection  I  almost  instantly  knew what  I was  going  to  do  with  it. I  had  the  Trompe  shotgun shacks  and  knew  they were  very  retro as well. I  just  love the  bar  collection..love  love  love make sure  ya  go  and  see these  in world  and  you’ll  grow to  love them as well.
Now for the  suit…oh the  suit. There  is  rarely  a designer I would  give  my  left  leg  for..Deadwool  is  one  of  them.   His suits are  by  far the  best I  have ever  seen in SL and  I  have  been  lucky enough  to  be  able  to  afford  a  few. When The  new  suit  came  out  though..I was stuck, not  having worked  in over  a  year, and  no way  to  earn  a  bit  of  money ( unless  I got  on a  dance  pole) with  36L to  my  name  I could  do  nothing but  drool. But then  a  miracle happened..well actually  Cinder  happened. For  my  valentines present  she  gave  me  enough  to  buy two  complete  suits along with  his  new  shoes.  I wanted  to  show as  much  detail of the  suit as  I  could so the  shoes  are  out  on this  post..but  I  promise  you they are  like  no  other shoes..they are  amazingly  detailed and  fit the  suit  perfectly. basically  what  I’m telling  you  is…if  your  a man go  get this.. if  your  a woman..well  follow  Cinders  lead!

Rockwell Redux

I want  to wish  each  and  everyone  of  you  a  safe and  happy holiday  season. its  the  time  of  year  to  hold  close those  you  love  and  make  memories that  last.
Here  is  my  version of  a  lasting  memory… lets all sing  together  now!

Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Get in the back with a dog thats not a collie
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now Jaraths gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
He Trolls the net for free apparel,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the Poofy hat before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
She’s just like Mae and she made a fuss..
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Houndstooth scarf on girl of leisure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
She will tell you of Gacha treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Up in front the old man gases,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Smells so bad it melts his glasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Ride we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

My Christmas  picture  is  based  on  this  Norman Rockwell inspired  christmas  card.
Thanks  to  everyone  involved  in helping  me  do  this..I  love  you  all… Jarath..we  have  a  bond. Roxi  also did  a  version  of  the  holiday card  as  well…to see  it click  here!

We see it happen  in Rl..but.. this month it  is  happening in SL as well. Its war I tell ya..and a bloody  one at that! What war ? you say… Arcade. Its  a  battle ground  like  no other,take  my  word on it.

Save me

 

I haven’t done anything lately,
instead I think of you,
dream of you nightly.
Time went so fast it’s driving me crazy.
What would I do?
What would I be without you baby.
I don’t wanna be alone,
won’t you come and save me?
I’d just rather be with you,
won’t you come and save me?

Caught ya

 

Bringing you the last few items for the guys from the Love is in the Air, a few items from C88 and TMD, all of them fresh and clean. And also Another story.
I had met Rhenu when she was pregnant for a whole sl nine months..WTH! We started talking thru group chat and  IM and one thing lead to another. It took some  convincing and bribing, but here we are over 1 year later and she  is still driving  me batty. Short, funny, sweet and irritating…just how  I like them. She  is another one that has done so much to improve my time  in SL and  one  of  my inspirations to start blogging ( Daym you!)
She  is one  of the very few in SL that cares about everyone  in her inner circle and will do just about anything to see that they are happy. ( I still haven’t convinced her  on the donkey show yet) I Liver You!

Trompe released her Amelia Cabin for C88 and its amazing..The build  is amazing, the textures  and bake  even more so. Junk has released the edging ton bench, Again very very  nice..and theres an adult version so woots!
The only other items that I want to highlight are the {what next} Love is in the Air Balloons released for Love is in the air, What an amazing prop! not only does it  come with 4 single poses it also has 3 couples.
Next is the !APHORISM! Vintage Crew Suit  which is also very well done with 6  different color options as well as 2 color options for a Turtle Neck.
Last but oh certainly not last  is a new shoe I ran across while at TMD, that being the JD – Valentino shoe, simply amazing, while there are a variety of colors I chose the fatpack, because well..all the bonus textures! The shoe is  not only well done, theres also a sock that comes with it, with a variety of  colors and the option to show or hide. You wear these separately so they will be a nice addition to my wardrobe as I can wear them with other shoes.
