It's been awhile since I posted so I am a wee bit behind on some of the things I wanted to showcase. That's because I was on vacation! I'm so sad that vacation is over with, but happy to be knee-deep in unsorted inventory.

Captain on the Bridge!




I have been DYING to get over Cinema for one item (not to discount all the amazing things for sale at Cinema!) but I am a die hard trekkie. Seriously. My mother was a classic Star Trek nut and so I grew up watching the old crew on TV Land re-runs. Then TNG came into play - it was our favorite show. We'd watch it together, my sister, my mother, and I. Then came DS9! And Voyager! Enterprise! 

Out of all the series, I loved the looks of the classic the best. Especially the women. I mean what's not to love about space babes in the military wearing sexy boots, mini dresses, and tights? Lets not forget the righteous make up and the giant hair. I loved the instruments they used and how space age and technological things were interpreted - it makes me wonder what Gene Roddenberry would think of today's iAnything. 

I couldn't just wear the dress, so I found a pretty awesome replica of the old fashioned tricorder (it even makes the whirrring noise) and a freebie communicator (it doesn't have SIRI, sorry). Also? I found the best bridge builds at a pretty awesome store called Herbit Creations. He has many builds that are rezzer ready for the Horizon holodeck. 

And the color gold? In the older series 'Gold' was the color of command rather than engineering/ops. In TNG, commanders and Engineers swapped colors. I'm the ****ing captain.

Beachy Keen



In the past few weeks it's been all about Autumn. Now, don't get me wrong. I love a good, wool coat with matching scarf and boots. I love chic pants and fall colours. I love the smell and taste of Autumn. Hello, pumpkin? Where I live we have none of this. In sunny, southwest Florida we have no seasons. Well, okay, that's not true. We have Hurricane Season, Snow Bird Season, Rainy Season, Lovebug Season... Tank tops and capris forever.

Keliah Angelis


My first love in Second Life was role playing. I'm a huge fan of this type of game. It's not nearly the same as playing a video game, where the story is set out for you to discover. This is far different - you're telling a story. At the same time, you are telling stories with other folks who have the same love as you: love for a good story. 

This is how I got my SL name in fact. Keliah Angelis was a character from my own comic books that me and my pot-smoking teenage friends conjured up, though her tale was very brief and that time of my life dissolved away into adulthood - but the character was a cocky-red-head-warrior-princess-bitch-with-chainmail-but-not-Red-Sonia type. 

Later on, I started a forum with some German friends based off of World of Darkness. I played a different character, Keliah being only a rudimentary part of the tale. The forum went on for awhile and I had a lot of fun, and when I finally decided to resurrect Keliah into second life, I found the perfect place for her: Ravenhurst. 

Ravenhurst has since changed, the story now New Raven City - an offshot city of Detroit, Michigan, which is now controlled by the Vampire Authority Council. It's a dark town full to the brim with vampires, werewolves, witches, gypsies, and fae. Human's to. Can't forget the humans. 

I've been so lacking in my blog posts lately because of this rebuild and I expect my upcoming week to be just as busy as we continue to erect Raven City. Stop on by and have a look at the new SIM if you will. Interested in playing? Fill out an application.

Strolling in New York



I feel like I haven't blogged in ages, and it's true that I've been a bit behind. You know how it is. Sometimes real life gets in the way. Also, I've been pretty darn busy trying to get my latest pose release out as well as come up with some bangin' ideas for a new logo for New Raven City - a Roleplay SIM. However, here I am with a Sunday free to devote to my favorite virtual past time: blogging. 

It's a new round of The Dressing Room. The item that caught my eye the most this time around is the awesome mesh coat from Ricielli. Normally, I'm not a big wearer of Ricielli because the mesh doesn't work well with my shape, but the brand always delivers so well on textures and quality. When I saw the coat I was apprehensive, but for 70L it was worth it to see if it would fit or no. It fit!
