No pinching!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! My friend Haley Salomon gave me this ice cold, green, shamrock emitting beer! Mmmmm...shamrocks! I don't like the taste of beer in RL, but this prim stuff? Amazing! 

I'm standing here in Glendalough, one of the places LL is highlighting in the Showcase for the holiday. I wasn't sure what I was going to think about the Showcase when it first started, but I've used it to find some pretty fun places to explore. I do wish it featured smaller, more unique stores in the shopping category rather than just the big places everyone already knows about. But it's still very useful.

As you can also see, I'm wearing lots of green to guard against sadistic people who use the holiday as an excuse to get their jollies. Sadly, this twisted behavior goes on in both worlds. I wonder if pinching animations even exist in SL? Oh well, I'm not taking any chances.  

Seriously. If Jerremy wants me naked tonight, I'll put on green jewelry or a tattoo - quick as a flash! He can pinch me the other 364 days of the year.

Magically Delicious!

Hey! I'm not even Irish and I am in the St. Patty's celebratin' mood! But it is because I'm not of Irish descent that I need to guard against pinching even more! I will be certain to wear lots of green tomorrow. I might even carry a lucky charm.

I knew I should have changed outfits!

Jerremy and I lounged on a hammock on our beach yesterday, so when I logged in today, I was wearing a swimsuit. I was in a hurry to post this so I didn't change. I TP'd over to Rezzed TV Island - and practically landed on artist/blogger Nika Dreamscape of Wine and Roses Home Decor. This is a picture of me apologizing to Nika and admiring the area that will hold the next SL Blogger Meet-Up Party!

The party will be on Saturday, March 27th from 2:00-5:00 PM SLT at Rezzed TV Island. Write that down. It is being hosted by Nika and Rezzed TV owner Stuart Warf!

EVERYONE is invited! This means YOU! Come hang out and meet bloggers and blog readers as we all have a blast. There will be music, dancing, pool tournaments, boxing, drag races, 7 Seas Fishing, a Bunny Market, sky combat with lasers and more! 

Now if you'll excuse me, I really should change into something less comfortable.

SLord of the Dance

I am taking a break from shopping to explore and do a little jig over at St. Patrick's Day Town. There was an open dance ball next to these happy fellows and I joined in. Actually, there were a few open pose balls and I tried my best to get the people wandering around the area to join me for the picture. But only one person responded to my open chat call to dance - and he wanted to know how to get $Lindens. The Leprechauns? Sadly, they are bots. 

I totally would have jumped on a pose ball to take a fun photo if someone had asked me. Maybe it is my approach. This is how it went. You can tell me what I am doing wrong: "OMG! You guys - jump on one of these pose balls so I can take a picture for my blog! Hurry! RUN! No, I won't have the sex with you. Come on you guys! Please? I can't lend you 987L for a new skin. Come on!!! Pretty please? Jeebus!! Just get out of the frame then! MOVE!! Come on! You are either in or out of the picture. In or out. In or out. Just pick one and MOVE! Wait - why are you naked now? I can't take a pic with you naked!..."

Roam if you want to....

I have some reading music to go along with this post! I have seriously been thinking of this song since my trip to the Clothing Fair yesterday. And even if you didn't personally choreograph a dance for it that you got an entire quad to do during  a Friday Afternoon Club party in college, I think you will still enjoy it. 

I spent the morning dragging my suitcase from London to New York to Rio. I used the smart traveler's tip of bringing an empty piece of luggage along to hold all of your new purchases for the return trip home. (Play along, please.) However, since all I brought was empty luggage, I've already run out of clean underwear. Luckily, there are plenty of shops with adorable undies on the sims. Know what else I was happy to find? Lots of men's things!

One thing I always look for with events in SL is if they will be fun to go to with Jerremy. I don't want to just drag him around so he can watch me shop. Here are just some of the stores with men's items that I saw sprinkled around the fair:

• London -  To-a-T, Lois Allen Designs, BELLISSIMA!,  INDI Designs, SF Designs
• Melbourne - EBT (Emotional Blackmail Threads), Suki's Silken Fashions, ED - Eclipse, Lapointe & BastChild 
• Milan - MOONSTRUCK, Wilson's Designs for Men, Musashi-Do,Styles of edo  
• Rio de Janiero - Goth1c0, JariCat, Peeps Fashion, M.R.M. FACTORY, ~Mystic Sky~, Hell Bop Clothing
• Paris - Avrele Designs, EROS Fashions by Keth, House of RFyre
• New Delhi - Mashooka 
• New York - Earthstones, Moonshine, LVS & Co. (has a Mad Hatter outfit), Mood Swings
• Tokyo -  Bare Rose, Aitui, Demise

 I am certain that I missed some shops selling menswear. Forgive me - I just thought of listing some at the last minute. And I spent an awfully long time today dancing around to a certain choreographed song.

Fair-ly Exciting

I am standing on a platform on a virtual Eiffel Tower, looking down at the Paris sim of the Relay For Life Clothing Fair. I have not bought anything yet, but my $Lindens are burning a hole in my pocket. There are nine sims. Nine. With over 150 shops. So in the next few days (specifically, March 13 at 3 pm SLT until March 21), expect at least a couple pictures of me wandering around in a shop-drunk state. The theme this year is really cool: fashion cities around the world and the builds are just gorgeous. Well, I'm off to explore more! Ciao!

ETA: It starts TOMORROW!! Get extra information on the Clothing Fair here: http://slrflclothingfair.blogspot.com/.

My 2 Front Teef

Hi. I was going to do a post about teeth or SL dentists (if there are any) because my typist is getting her teeth laser whitened tomorrow (and she projects a lot). While I was searching for all things teeth related, I found this little gem: a pair of wax lips.

Here is a beauty tip from me!: If you had fairly low standards, you could save yourself from having to spend thousands of $Lindens on one of those chic skins with the teeth showing and just use these!
