I MOVED!! Isn't my house lovely?! I'm so excited. I love cold weather and comfy cottages. Why I was living on a beach before this I'll never know. This house and environment truly depict who I am. And I'm finding some great deals on furniture to fix it up. Yay! Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement. Thanks for indulging me.

Okay, what is the deal with bloggers sharing one brain? Wearing the same outfits I can understand. We look for good deals, freebies, some of you get review copies that are the same as others...I understand this. What I don't understand is how several of us have ended up in the same places. When I started this blog, which was only a few weeks ago, I didn't see as many photographs highlighting spots/sims as I have lately. I thought it would be a beneficial thing to do for anyone reading this (if anyone is) to see some places in sl they might not have otherwise known about or taken the time to visit. This past week I have seen on the blogs (and trust me I read a bunch of them) many of us photographing the same locals. Eerily so too. There is one today where the photograph looks very, very close to one that I took. I have not published this photograph yet, and mainly I only mention this, because I don't want to put my photos up later and be accused of copying. I make my ensembles, find locations and take my photographs days in advance. I like to have several posts ready in case something in real life prevents me from getting the next day's post ready. So, I am inspired by my fellow bloggers, but I would never intentionally steal an idea from them, let alone copy it outright and post it where their blog is also fed. Anyway, I just wanted that out there. I feel better now.
On to the clothing...

(Oh, btw, if you haven't gone to the Anexx/Aoharu 50% off sale, run, sprint, fly yourself down there. OMG all of my lindens are gone, but I am a very happy and well dressed girl!)

Petite Girl 2 (Ryanne Kenyon Creation)

Okay, it must be asked...why do people feel the need to make their avi 8 feet tall? What is up with that? My guess is that not wanting to look short, everyone adjusted the height of their avi to be more in line with everyone else. Well, then someone (some guy, oh come on, you know it was) decided they wanted to be just a bit taller than everyone else. Well, the others (other guys) decided that just wouldn't do and made themselves just a little taller, etc. etc. etc. The women now looking like Lilliputians by comparison, adjusted their height. And now you have 8 feet tall avis. My avi is a "modest" 5'10" without heels. I was at a store that had a popular midnight mania board today and in the crowd I looked like a child avi. I hate child avis, so this really pissed me off. However, I do not want to have to adjust myself (lol) to be freakishly tall. So, I have a least one petite shape. My other shape I use frequently is curvier, but still way under the "norm" in terms of height. So...if you see a female avi that comes up to your navel and is not a child, there is a good chance that is me. Say hi!


Also, just as a public service announcement and because my post was about height...let's take a look at the word shall we: H-E-I-G-H-T There is not a second H on the end of this word; therefore, you do not make the th sound at the end of this word. Try it again...end it in a hard T (t, t, t) good.

I went to the grand opening of a fantastic club last night. ONe is an intimate setting where you feel completely welcome and comfortable. Teo Ghost the friendly (and hot) owner personally greeted me and each and every person I saw come into the club. The patrons were fun, making me feel I had been invited to a party instead of a nameless face in the crowd. And the music...so fantastic. I personally love indie/alternative and Teo, who DJed most of the time I was there, was playing excellent tunes. I even took notes of the bands played so I could download the songs. Seriously awesome. If you are looking for a welcoming, friendly, amazingly fun club with killer music, then I can't recommend ONe enough.

A fellow blogger has asked us to tell you about our addictions. Well, first and foremost let's state the obvious and say that I am addicted to Second Life. I know we're suppose to mention items in world that we are addicted to, but the entire sl experience is very seductive. It can be an escape from real life. It can serve as a social or creative outlet. The clothes usually fit and can be changed on a whim. You can change hair texture, color, length, and style at the touch of a button. Want to be a man one day a woman the next? No problem. Change ethnicity? All you need is to purchase a skin. Always wanted to have a mountain cabin? Now it is yours. Bigger breasts, smaller nose, the look you choose doesn't require plastic surgery, exorbitant amounts of money or recovery time. A few seconds rez time and you are as you wish to be. The player is in control. It is an alluring place where you can be anyone you choose, look any way you desire, posses skills and knowledge perhaps not otherwise gained. And that can be very addicting.
