Zodiac: Aries

Another round of  Zodiac from Hottie Cooterati is upon us and this month is a personal favorite of mine: Aries.  I am an Aries, and in many ways fit the description of one to a T.  I am  fiery and passionate, at times impulsive, adventurous,  and much to poor Chance's consternation, I can be very stubborn.  As his sign, Taurus the Bull can also be, it can make for some interesting debates.  Though my temper can sometimes be quick, mostly do to that stubbornness and independence, I am also just as quick to laugh and love.  In looking at different sites to describe an Aries like me, I found this one showed both the positive and negative pretty well...  

I am very social, and love to be around people.  I do love that Chance will indulge this in me, and also will keep me grounded in our "home" time so we don't lose touch with each other in  a whirlwind of social events.  

I am very proud to be an Aries, the first sun sign of the Zodiac.  It fits who I am, both my good and my faults.   AND! it gives me a lovely birthday in the spring!  Hurray for April 10th!  Feel free to drop me a hello on that day!  

So this round of Zodiac?  SO many bright wonderful things are available!  My entire outfit can be found there, the shirt is part of the Ariana seperates available from elymode and the pansie jeans are  from ::Somnia:: .  My adorbs accessories?  The bag is from LVLE , the necklace from MG and the earrings from Noodles.  The pose is from Exposeur (yes! Chance DID make the airplane noises the whole time we were doing our photos!) and the swingset (which comes with its own amazing set of animations) is from {what next}. **Disclaimer** Sexy Cajun not available in stores or for Zodiac - he is one of a kind *grins* 

Head on down to see the rest of the amazing line up from the designers for this round! You won't be disappointed!

Cinema! ~ Pretty in Pink

So on Saturday, October 13th, the Cinema 2012! event by The Hottie Cooterati Experience opened to the public.  This much anticipated event has been a smash hit ever since, with the sim consistently crowded and the SL world being wowed by the amazing offerings of the participating designers.  I will say, had this been a true movie premiere, box office records would have been broken!

 As a teen of the 80's, (yes I know, I am old! LOL) Pretty in Pink was one of my favorite movies, along with other greats such as St Elmo's Fire, The Breakfast Club and so many more.   Just look at the line up of the stars! Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, just to name a couple, part of the original brat pack that grew up with those of us in that decade.   With this in mind, I put together this gorgeous pink ensemble.  And anyone that knows me knows that Pink is of course one of my signature colors, right behind rainbow!  

So if you haven't been down to Cinema 2012! yet,  be sure you grab a date and go to the movies.  And make sure you check out the amazing build, which I might add is all mesh!! You will not only be amazed at the great shopping experience, but the visual and social appeal of the Cinema 2012! make it an adventure!   If I were Siskel and Ebert, I would give it two thumbs up!

Balancing Act

So as a single mom in RL, juggling school and kids can be tough.  Toss in my Second Life, with my amazing cajun, our animals, our blogs it all becomes a balancing act that sometimes can be overwhelming.  But even achieving that balance can be fun when you put it into a different perspective!  Chance asked the other day about boots for me on plurk and, as he often does, spent some time looking for the perfect item for me, even when I didn't know I needed it!  These Charlie boots by Ju Weissnicht are amazing!  They come in three different foot and three different calf sizes in each color.  You can get the fatpack of ALL THE COLORS! or they come in sets of three amazing color packs.  So many to chose from, and I know I will have boots for almost any outfit!  Like this dress, a new release from (Elate!) Perfect fit, and so many colors to chose from! Definitely a must have!  And of course, let us not forget one of the new releases from >TRUTH<.  I LOVE the long curly looks and curly is not always easy to find in mesh hair, so I really love how this one lays over the shoulder in a gorgeous cascade of curls!

It really is all about the balance isn't it?  And nothing seems to show that off better than this pose set from Adorkable Poses.  I have been wanting to use this for some time and I am so glad to finally have the chance to do so!  The chairs come in three colors: black, brown wood, and white so you can match any background and the poses are fun and creative!

Ok so, even the best of balancing acts can make you need a rest, as I am taking in the next shot...  Credits for all below!

So, Chance says to me this morning, "Gabriella!  Mon amour we are goin' to take a trip!"  But it seems as he was packing up the car for our surprise excursion, a couple of the kittys decided they weren't being left behind!  ALL credit for the wonderful props and landscaping and even the idea for this photo goes to that amazing cajun!   These photos are just my take on it.  And away we go!
