One More Week…You Can Torture Me Later

Yeah, I can multi-task like an animal at work.  But when RL demands more of my attention, SL suffers.  As does this blog.  So I sincerely apologize for the lack of consistent blogging.

However, this weekend finishes one RL project.  So I’ll have a little more of my time back.  So bear with me and don’t abandon me!  I love you tooo much!!!!

But….just because RL swallows me whole doesn’t mean you have to go without ANY updates of yummy SL shoppingness.

Here are two groups you can join in-world (sorry, they are SL groups, so make a slot or two available) that will help keep you up-to-date with all of SL’s latest releases and sales:

- Fashion Consolidated:  FashCon has been around for a long time and is quite large, filled with designers just waiting to drop all the information on their hottest releases.   There is barely a day that goes by that you do not receive at least 10 notices from the dozens upon dozens of designers in that group.

- Sales Consolidated:  started up by my girlie, Ryker Beck, Sales Consolidated is focused on just that:  sales.   If you are a sale hound, sniffing out one sale after the next, then this is the group for you.  Sale Hunters send notices of any and all sales they happen upon as do any of the designers in the group that are having a sale they want you to know about.

There you go!  I would never leave you completely out in the cold!

Love to all!

How Did Sunday Get Here Already?

Omg, I’m so sorry everyone!  I had off on Friday and I have a RL commitment I’m running around for.  And all of a sudden, I realized I didn’t do an FOTB.  I’m very sorry.  You can hurt me if you’d like.

I’ll be back on track this week.  So you’ll have a fresh FOTB on Friday.  I promise.

Now I go to update the SLBCC so you guys have something to look at over there too!

Love to all!

SLBCC Is Born!!

Yup, this is what has been knocking around in my head for the past few weeks.  Today, I finally decided it was cooking enough and ready to pop.

Introducing SL Blogger Challenge Central.  Here, you will find any and all challenges floating around the SL Blogverse along with some originating straight from the SLBCC.  My hope is that I can have a group of us come together to brainstorm and vote on challenges to put forth.  I’m hoping it inspires bloggers to do different things (not like we have enough to do, right?).

It’s a little empty now, but I’ll be linking the BareRose and Dress Me Up challenges there to start and then I’ll put out a challenge to get things rolling.

If you would like to hook up with me to run it, either Plurk me (if you are in plurkville), comment, or drop me a notecard in-world.

I hope everyone enjoys it!

FRESH OFF THE BLOGS: It’s Not Work, It’s a Work of Art

Don’t ask about the title.  I’ve had a long week.  Bleh.

Remember last week I said I had enough of the cold weather?  Yeah, now I’m completely and utterly disgusted with it.  Single digits and negative digits overnight.  Even my car moaned and groaned today.  Brrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Quick note:   I am contributing to a new blog, started up by Ana Lutetia, called Second Life Sales (http://secondsales.wordpress.com).  There, I will be blogging every Friday a week’s worth of sales.  So head on over, bookmark it, and check it every day to be kept up-to-date on those addicting SL Sales!

I am also toying with the idea of starting up one more blog, centered around SL bloggers.  So, you have been warned!

Time to check what’s smokin’ hot on the blogs:

- Lexi has announced a rebirth of her baby, now called Stellar by Lexi Morgan.  I’m so excited for her, I know it was a humongous step.  Fresh off the rebirth, we get a free outfit to show off the rebirth, a L$100 Skin and Shape Sale, and some hawt looking boots called “Erotica”.  Wootness!  (http://stellar-designs.blogspot.com/)

- PixelDolls has extended the L$50 Dresses sale to January 20th and added a L$50 Tops & Bottoms Sale, ending February 1st.  I guess I shall be owning most of the store soon then! LOL! (http://www.nafii.com/PixelDolls/)

- DoC changes it up a bit on us off of his last releases and gives us soft and prettiness, to be found in “Vita”.  A full length dress in amazing textures, versatile by matching the top with your favorite pants.  (http://dedesigning.com/blog/)

-  Come home from work and chill out with Janie’s latest outfit.  “After Hours” shows off your errrrmm curvies matched with some awesome looking pants.  (http://mischief-maker.blogspot.com/)

- Need another pair of boots?  (why would you say no????)  Then check out Pixel Mode’s latest release, “Danielle Knee Boots”.  What I find cool about these is that they are naturally shaped in the back so that when you sit ladylike and cross your legs, the boot doesn’t go into your leg! (http://blog.pixelmodestudio.com/)

A little short this week, I know.  But the feed has also been wonky the past few days.  So I had to rely on my reader only.  But that should never stop you from shopping!!!!!!!!  SHOP DAMMIT!!!

- And then to heat up those private moments with your loved one(s), check out Ravekitty’s latest lingerie releases:  “My Lil Valentine” and “Illusions”.  Hot hot hot!! (http://liquidvelvetstudios.blogspot.com/)
