Happy Fourth of July!
We couldn’t let tonight pass without wishing those celebrating the 4th a happy Independence Day, nor could I leave without sharing this super smexy Fourth of the July group gift from DeviousMinds! I doubt I am the only one that gets excited when Chandra drops a gift on her fans! Chandra’s gift included a note with a line I want to share….. “this is symbolic for all countries not just the US, simply cause it means the world to live in a country without suppression, be able to walk freely and live life without ties [unless those are wanted by oneself ;)]
We hope you had a spectacular Fourth and surrounded yourself with loved one and friends!

Flux!
The build is up and the designers are ready for the doors to open! Flux has just kicked off bringing a brand new monthly theme to the grid all wrapped up in red, white and blue called “Americana!” Flux is a themed based monthly bazaar featuring exclusive content from some of Second Life’s most creative minds! This month’s theme, Americana, brings designs perfect for everyday but an absolute must have if you are celebrating the American holiday on the 4th.
Gopu and I wore these amazing Grease themed outfits by Dead Dollz on a little Americana date to the carnival at The Wash. The pink ladies jacket I am wearing quickly became a favorite of customers and Dead Dollz fans leading them to beg for a T-Birds jacket to complete the set. So here you go … The exclusive T-Birds jacket you have all been waiting for… available at Flux!
Grab your partner and your friends and head to Flux for some star spangled goodness! Male and Female items abound…. and some of the best crafted freebies I have seen in quite some time!

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 *

Waking Minerva
“Waking Minerva” takes us to ancient Rome and into the vast heavens that house the gods and goddesses. Unicorns greet each day with a rainbow and carefully awake the sleeping Minerva to bring forth knowledge to the masses and spawn creativity among the artists.
I created the image for the Arcade Gacha Photography Contest ….. It didn’t really come out how I intended… but what really ever does 😛 I wanted more strength coming from the unicorn and looking at it now I should have possibly added fog to bring it all together and activate it more. I challenge myself to not use any sort of photo manipulation during processing…. so everything you see in most of my images is exactly what I see in Second Life….such a purist. Maybe I will try this one again since I like the theme and adore this new pose by elephante poses!
Edited to Add ~ Take Two: Changed the image to one with fog… 🙂

Beachy Keen Cottage
I am loving the porch on this Beach Cottage I purchased from Little One’s Store. The textures are so pretty on this build and I love the layout of the two rooms. The giant porch really makes the house feel as if it has a third room…. albeit an outdoor room but a room nonetheless. I am loving it. *swoon*
So far I have added a breakfast nook complete with rezzable breakfast and dining animations and I’ve decorated the entrance with with this mesh bench from Cobblestone. The mesh bench is complete with animations (single & couple,) wine! and coffee, and is only a measly three prim…. did I mention it comes with wine?! 😛 Be sure to get down to the Home & Garden Expo …. I’d hate for you to miss all the exciting new products and a chance to donate to Relay for Life! It will make you feel smitten… and that is a win-win situation!

HOME AND GARDEN EXPO 2013
May 24th – June 2nd 2013
Presenting the Duke and Duchess of Ippos
The guest list was filled with names of fae friends far and near who gathered to celebrate the joining of two life long friends and lovers, Duchess and Gopu.
The clans of Victoriana, Dalish, Merkitsa and Teleri were well represented and the dark and light settled merrily on neutral ground. Fairies fluttered and goblins gobbled. The event was held on the sacred grounds of Ippos at the Cherry Blossom Place provided by the creative designers of Two Moon Gardens.
Duchess wore a stunning gown by designer Caverna Obscura and precious roses arranged by Wishbox. As night fell the festivities were a typical all out elven party!
The princess of Elephante lent her posing wand and the event went off with a hitch!

Tummy Ticklers
I am lovin’ the new belly piercings by Phoebe and wanted to take a shot to show them off. The center stud has a color changer with 9 smexy color options to coordinate with just about any outfit. You can purchase the set for 55L up until May 12th at the Acid Lily Gallery Event! There are two available metals, black and silver, and I am wearing the black. To show off my new studs there is no designer more perfect than the belly baring designs of D-Style! D-Stye was just recently interviewed in the May 2013 edition of The Best of SL Magazine along with my friend Chandra Meehan of Devious Mind! Both articles are great so be sure to grab a copy today and learn what makes some of SL’s top designers tick!

The World According to Wine
After a long exhausting day of gardening and installing the awesome sauce kitchen in the new house, Sassy and I grabbed Gopu’s bottle of wine and hit the kitchen and …. well… the bottle. Sassy began making her famous fried chicken while I played bartender in my sweet little dress by FireBird Designs courtesy of this round of Pre-Release! The knife wielding Sassy is wearing new lingerie from Death Rocker Betty Crocker (how appropriate!) that is also available at Pre-Release. I spent most of the night clicking on all the interactive counters, dishes, food, utensils and poses… our sim is coming right along…. and I am loving my sweet kitchen!!
