All these years and another Cabbage Patch doll?

Many many years ago when I was a small child I became infatuated with a beautiful doll. She has yarn for hair and a pug nose. Her skin was like pantyhose stretched over fluffy stuff. She was an original Xavier Robert's adoption doll and she became the light of my life. I played with her, bathed her with Fantastic, like the instruction said, and forced my Mom to buy more real baby clothes for her than I should have. But hey, Mom did it, so don't blame me. She was an adult. I was not. But Carolina, my doll, and I had many many adventures and I still have her sitting on the guest bed at our house.

Fast forward a few years. No, I am not telling you specifically how many, but if you get the Cabbage Patch theme of the article, you can probably have a rough estimate. Several weeks ago we heard that the company in SL that created the 3 cats we have had, 2 of which could give Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer a run for their money, had started making babies. (They crashed a sim. It was great fun.) Our last cat kept falling off the side of the house into the water. I'm glad cats have 9 lives. Now, for those of you who know us, understand that to us, babies are like kitties or doggies. We like kitties and doggies in RL, we know our limits and we are NOT ready for RL people babies. So, knowing our limits, I started looking at these SL babies. I am not one to spend all my money on the most expensive thing I see. I know the baby thing is going to be a flash in the pan, and she/he will end up on the bed. I don't see a fully furnished nursery here, but you never know. Sometime, if your going to do something, it's worth overdoing it but I don't see $L5,000 for the baby and then another $L2,500 for the nursery. Although the boy nursery was great. The girl nursery was way to generic. A friend has a Heaven Sent by Sh2 baby. I checked them out. They were very afordable and they have all sorts of options. I proudly purchased a neko baby. (Those of you who know me, remember I was a neko for several years. ) She resembles my Caroline, my old doll, but we have named her Anderia, after a dear friend. They are fully customizable. I have her in Pink Hola Kitty Pjs. (No I don't want some legal group sending me a take down letter.) They have a full range of options at the shop. If you and your SL honey want to RP having a baby, you can. They provide all the shapes, AO, poses, you name it. I will play with the baby, freak out some friends and then probably put her on the bed, but just like RL, you have to cut loose in SL sometimes.

It's almost Summer!

I have been in the mood for summer all day today. I found this great summer dress yesterday and it inspired me. I think Zak and I are going to have to start planning a fun summer vacation. Head someplace nice and hot and tropical. Maybe down to Key West, or Miami, or somewhere else fun. It's been a while since we have taken off and headed on a good trip for over a week. We both like to lay out on the beach or by the pool. We also have fun finding unique places to eat. Hopefully we will be able to start planning soon. Until then, I'll just start the vacation in my head, or on the computer. Have a great week.

Weekend Party Time!

It was time to kick back with 3 hunky guys. That is the one thing about SL, there is never a drought of friends or family to hang out with. We have had fun with the party deck and it's nice now that it's spring and we can really use it. I hope you have a good time with your friends and family this great spring weekend. I've even heard it's warm in Canada this weekend.

It's Spring and the Fairies are out!!!

We went to the spring Shengri La Fashion Institute rave tonight.   They have one of the best DJs in SL, Qee Nishi, and no I don't know her personally.  I really enjoy her music a few times a year at the Shengri La raves.  She plays at a club in West Coast time, and you all know how big I am on staying up all night.  These rave parties are always great because Shenlei Flasheart goes all out with the build for the parties.   Tonight was complete with huge flowers and bunnies.  I kept thinking the bunnies would look better in chocolate, but that could have been the particles flying around that invaded my brain.   This was truly a great way to end a long week.  Now I need to go find a spring fairy outfit.    Cheers!
