Non-Twin Twins

To stage left is Dannika Dryke. As you can see the two of us look pretty similar, which means that she's quite lovely. We're shopping friends, we're photographer friends, and we're roleplay friends. Actually, we're just friends. And we both love Maitreya. I mean, how can a woman in SL not love Maitreya? The new 'Mignon' dress from their summer collection is to die for and comes in floral patterns and stripes. Pair with sunglasses and sunblock.

That 70's Look

So many maxi dresses on the mesh market today and if you go Collabor88 this month prepare to be wowed by a blast from the past theme. Especially the Tropme Loeil skybox. Also? I look like Endora from Bewitched.

Curio, I Support You!

 I got a notice from Gala Phoenix of Curio Skins stating that her store is closed. I love Curio's skins. I mean I loooooove them. I mostly wear Yum in Moonbeam. I have an alt who wears the Jasmin in Shell. Because I love her skins so much I have a few others that I wear just for photographs. So when I found out that Gala Phoenix lost her store and that she had to pull all her skins from Second Life because Hush's skin maker has reported Gala Phoenix as a skin thief I was sort of beside myself. There's been a lot of head scratching over this from what I've read on various blogs and now photographs are turning up of Hush's skins ill disguised watermarks not only from Curio but from League as well.

So...Really? Are you REALLY going to rip off someone's skins and try to pursue legal action against THEM? I hope karma's boot has steel toes, spikes, and perhaps some explosives, so that when you get your ass kicked from here to Hell it really, really hurts.

Friendship Begins With Batman

Last week out of boredom I went to scope out the Petite Avatar Kingdom. If you haven't gotten a petite or hung around a few of the 'wee folk', then do so. They are adorable and fun. I've met many cool people while on my petite avatar, but sadly, spend most of my time on my main character and thus I don't get to be small and adorable all that much. So, I headed on over to the kingdom to look at the Mynerva avatars. I have this running joke about me being Batman and it has translated over into second life, when one day, jokingly, I changed my name from Keliah to Batman. Every so often I visit the namesake and that weekend I just happened to be sporting the name which caught the eye of one very, very small micro person shopping with his friend.

[2012/05/08 20:52]  Ant (splatnuk.windang): whoa, hey, it's BATMAN
[2012/05/08 20:52]  Batman (keliahangelis): Danananananananana - Me!
[2012/05/08 20:52]  Ant (splatnuk.windang): hahahaha
[2012/05/08 20:53]  Ant (splatnuk.windang): best Bat-disguise ever, I totally didn't recognize you
[2012/05/08 20:53]  Name Removed: *GIGGLES* :)~~~~
[2012/05/08 20:53]  Name Removed: good one "Batman"
[2012/05/08 20:54]  Batman (keliahangelis): I have to avoid the paparazzi during my outings.
[2012/05/08 20:54]  Name Removed: understandable
[2012/05/08 20:54]  Name Removed: good thing to go incognito
[2012/05/08 20:54]  Batman (keliahangelis): Comissioner Gordon always gives me shit if I get caught on camera.
[2012/05/08 20:54]  Ant (splatnuk.windang): oh yeah! Hard to fight crime with a crowd chasing after you

I rather forgot about Ant and our silly little conversation, until a few days later he sought me out and messaged me. I'm so glad he did.
