Summer Retreat

Hey gang I'm not going to be on this weekend, but I just had to share again how much I love the Matilda's Getaway cottage I bought at the Home Expo!  Here's a few pics and just a real quick cut and paste about where to find them.  I hope the pictures are worth a thousand words!  Smallest house I ever bought... but just so perfect for summertime relaxing!

Just Dance With Me

Tonight I managed to get happily whisked away to go dancing with a very handsome man. *swoon*

Just a friend, mind you, but oh what a delight to actually spend the evening having fun, listening to music, and dancing the night away.

We couldn't have found a more perfectly dreamy place than the Amorosa Ballroom, and if you're looking for a beautiful experience in a formal fairytale castle, Amorosa is well worth a visit.

I'm wearing Utopia's Frida gown (previously blogged here), and just love how smoothly it flows.  Perfect for a romantic evening out dancing, and you may find your cares floating away as the soft wisps of silk swirl around you. The gown comes with multiple top options and accessories of which I chose only the necklace and gloves.

Jake is wearing the incredible Modern-Black-Open Suit by Lapoint & Bastchild, Radiant Midnight hair by LAQ, LaVie Mark skin: Goatie2 Eyeliner Cut Hairbase, and 380 Outlander Mesh Boots.

My hair is Lelutka Daisy mesh hair (blogged here), and skin is Ludicia in Tan by Filthy that I've blogged before (here), but just couldn't help wearing again.  I really love Filthy skins and the detail and workmanship that went into creating these. Eyes are Mayfly Liquid Light Mesh eyes.

Sometimes it's too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life events and let things drag you down and it's times like tonight I cherish. The beautiful surroundings, great music, and the hand of a friend pulling me onto the dance floor and reminding me it's okay to let go sometimes. Thank you Jake, I had a lovely time.

Enchanted,
Boudica Destiny

Double Trouble

I knew I was in trouble when I walked into The Dressing Room today.  Not only were there a lot of must have designs, skin, hair, jewelry... but there was mesh too.  Oh and check out this skin!

The gorgeous male Andrej skin by Tableau Vivant beckoned to me from across the room, and I thought.... hell with that I'm wearin it, even if it's boy skin!  Love it, and such kissable lips!  Guyliner FTW! Male or female this skin has it going on.

Always managing to get myself into some technical difficulty trouble one way or the other, today's trouble was with getting my viewer to show shadows. Try as I might, I wasn't able to both have shadows, and show all the mesh I was wearing, often having either my top or skirt disappear, as well as dark streaks show up in my hair.  That was no good... so I threw my hands up in dispair and said... Mesh wins... I'll Photoshop (well GIMP) my own shadows in.  I was in a bit of a hurry so there are jagged edges where I didn't erase the outline of my avatar close enough, but good enough for the feel of the look I wanted, at first glance.

While I was striking a pose, or three, a flood of fantastic mesh skirts from Alexehol arrived at my doorstep.  Wow thanks... these are fab!!  And they just happened to look perfect with the look I was trying to accomplish.

Shown here in two designs of two colors each, all MESH skirts from the new and improved Alexohol! As seen on their blog after a bit of a break, Alexehol is back and kickin' it big time on the Jamaica sim! Welcome back!  Don't know about you, but I'm loving the music streaming on that blog.  Might just have to go back often to get my Alexehol fix!

The double bubble part of this little escapade happened when a friend tossed me a pipe he had just finished making.  I had such a blast posing with it while I did my photoshoot, I decided to keep it on and share it with you!  You can find the Double Bubble Scripted Pipe from [FE] on the Marketplace, and there's also this nifty little YouTube video about it. Though, I think it looks better on me, don't you?

XOXO!
Boudica Destiny

Heads up on The Dressing Room teleport link.  There are *two* Dressing Rooms and I get stuff from both locations every time.  There is a TP board in each shop that takes you over to the other location.  So if you're looking for something that's not in that shop, be sure to hit the TP and go check out the other location. Happy Shopping!
