Pin Up Kitten
This vintage swimsuit by Senzafine reminded me of the early pin-up work of Vargas so while at an impromptu beach party last night I set up a little “ode to Vargas” photo shoot. Just a flirty American kitten playing on the beach. Oh la la! The swimsuit comes in 4 styles and is one of the best vintage bathing suits to come out of this latest batch that has recently hit the grid. The textures are seamless and the result is a realistic vintage suit that is ever so purrrfect. But, I’ve come to expect nothing less from Senzafine. The swimsuit is at this month’s Flux event. My inner pin-up girl is smitten! * swoon *

Magical Ippos
I love walking through the woods at Ippos and seeing the animals scurry past. I can’t wait to finish this sim project, I think it is going to be beautiful. Today while walking through the forest I came across the most amazing magical sight….. now if I told you it wouldn’t be a secret worth keeping …… 🙂
I have a clothing-crush on this outfit by Senzafine; the textures are amazingly sharp and life like and the skirt is just too adorable. The skirt is cut high in the front and definitely highlights the caboose! The Flutter Boots by lassitude & ennui that I am wearing are probably my most favorite black lace up boots in my vast inventory. I am also literally giving you a sneak peek of the tattoo that will be at the Excuse My French Hunt, I know, I know…. I am evil….. full pictures will follow… I promise. * grins *

surréaliste cirque
When I was little I wanted to join the circus…. not like…. run away and join the circus (my parents would surely have been invited to come see me) but I just wanted to be IN the circus. I had an adorable Shetland pony with the thickest most amazing flaxen mane that almost hit the ground… I would practice my circus tricks on her every day…. for certainly Ringling Brothers would call any day! Ringling Brothers never called, but I did end up riding on a mounted drill team when I got a little older, retired my pony (since my feet were inches above the ground – at this point I looked more clownish!) and got my first real sized horse.
This picture is attributed to my childhood dreams. Second Life is an amazing vehicle for breathing life into our dreams! That… coupled with the Funny Puppet Fair …. has brought my dream into existence… or into my virtual life anyway! 😛

Romantic Field Dance
The romantic soprano voice that belts out the lyrics to “Gloomy Sunday” that emit from this gramophone are nothing short of beautiful. I imagined the song to be a love song as I can sense the artist’s yearning and was surprised to learn the song is about a suicide which was a fulfilled promise to meet the author’s love in the afterlife. The gramophone is beautifully rendered and I love the way the metal glimmers as the record spins and the arm turns. The whole set is a work of art from Senzafine.
