The Servant – How To Destroy a Relationship
Awesome song, I’ve never heard of this band
until last night when Hadley told me to look them up
I’m always up for adding a new band to my list of
awesome audio goodness!

What I thought would never come
has come
I wish that I could say I did it cause I was young
Or even that it’s just that I’m dumb
The sweet ropes have come undone

 

TODAY’s RAMBLINGS:
WOW! Is all I can say about Vive9′s new Grace Skins! I tend to wear my makeup the way I would in RL, smoky eyes and very lightly glossed lips or with very little color. I have huge lips (RL and SL lol) and color tends to make them overpower my face, but I couldn’t help loving this incredibly 40s Glam look. The dark cherry red lips paired with dark eyes would normally be too much for me, but somehow BluAbyss has found the perfect balance for them, plus i love the dark skin (I’m about that dark in RL) and appreciate that the makeup makes the skin tone practically SING! You can also check out some preview pics of the new Grace Skins at

I can’t wait for them to be released!

So a few days ago, I posted a really cute Artilleri dress that’s no longer available for purchase and feel a little bad about it. I said i’d post another Artilleri dress and here it is! I dig Antonia’s rockabilly style and I love her full and knee-length skirts. I think sometimes when we think sexy, we tend to think short, revealing and rather slutty, I remember I dated a guy in SL once, who got mad at me because I wouldn’t wear more revealing clothes (yea.. i know RIGHT!!), but wearing this Leopard print dress makes me feel like a Sex Kitten. It’s a definite date dress where you just want to be girly as hell and scorching hot. RAWWR!

You guys have to check this out! So yesterday I popped into game and as soon as I popped in, Josue sends me and IM.. and i’ll just post it because it’s funny as hell!!

[2009/11/29 14:36] Josue Habana: bubbles are you busy? I need you over here in your underwear top fight with skylar
[2009/11/29 14:36] Josue Habana: rofl!
[2009/11/29 14:36] Josue Habana: and no, im not joking
[2009/11/29 14:36] Bubbles Komachi: ummm
[2009/11/29 14:36] Bubbles Komachi: wait
[2009/11/29 14:36] Bubbles Komachi: thats a lot to process as soon as i popped in
[2009/11/29 14:36] Josue Habana: ok
[2009/11/29 14:36] Bubbles Komachi: you need me to fight your gf in my undies?
[2009/11/29 14:37] Josue Habana: im doing a pixel scoop post called something like “10 acts of violence that don’t cost a thing”

LOL! I know he’s a fuckin riot, so of course I said YES!! Josue (and I’ve said it before) is a brilliant writer and I love his Pixel Scoop posts, and secretly I think he just wanted to see Skylar fight another girl in her underwear (rofl!). You can check out the article here 10 Acts of Violence That Don’t Cost a Penny, so run(!), don’t walk over to the blog, because well, theres girls in their undies fighting with weapons! I definitely had a great time in the ring with Skylar and my favorite has got to be the Hand Gun. In fact, I am sending out a note to the creator (Minda Magic).. begging for a version of the nail clippings to be in different colors or better yet, a french manicure!

I’ve asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?
Well it’s my life
Don’t you forget
It’s my life
It never ends

 

TODAY’s RAMBLINGS:
I used to work retail many many years ago (freshman in college) and worked through 3 years of Black Friday.. and since that time, i refuse, absolutely REFUSE to run out shopping like a maniac for those limited time sales. I am just not that insane! That however didn’t stop me from doing the sales here in SL! I fought through the lag and ran over some heifers to get towards what i wanted, i did the 50Ls Friday sales as well as other stores and i came away with too much and spent even more! I’m holding myself down from posting all the 50L Friday goodies right away, mainly because everyone has done them already, I plan on incorporating them into my everyday look (swear this blog is my excuse to shop) as always so you’ll be seeing them float around from time to time.

I, however, couldn’t stop myself from posting about the Cape Cod skybox from Molto Bene!. Only 50Ls for 3 rooms with changeable walls and flooring and seriously it made me squeal! All my pics were taken in it, and I know its super empty right now but I’m slowly starting to furnish it. I adore it so much and what started out as simply another studio for pictures is quickly turning into my new home.

Wait.. this is a fashion blog right? I forget sometimes with my rambling! Jacket is the newest release from Apple May Designs and at only 100Ls each it’s an incredible bargain, what’s even better is the fat pack of 5 colors is only 375Ls! I know, why buy separate when you can just fatpack it! The shoes are one of my faves and was bought a year ago it seems! I’ve never blogged them before and they definitely deserve the attention. Incredibly well made and selling for a super fair price, AW Designs is seriously WIN for these, plus they come in funky patterns, I happen to have on the Leopard (rawwwr). I did say i would try to not blog any 50Ls Friday items just yet, but i couldn’t help myself with Epoque’s baggy knit cap, its color changeable and too friggin adorable not for me to sport. Lastly, i need to send a shout out to the incredible Aranel Ah of Boom, her new cashmere sweaters are what yummie fall and winter dreams are made of! Gorgeously made and comes in a variety of colors and layers to mix and match with all your favorite clothing items.

Gotta say it, I’m feelin’ all sorts of cute, all this shopping and I didn’t even have to cut a bitch!
Oh!! BIG UPS to Marls Vaughan of Coffee Smoke just for being one kick ass chickadee with an awesome blog!

TODAY’s SONG:
Duran Duran Ft. Timbaland – Nite Runner
First off… LOVE LOVE this song!!
From 80s Duran Duran to this new sound, and I know
So many people hate it.. but screw you, I ADORE IT!
I find myself singing along and the beat is hot,
Duran Duran never sounded better!

Light scatters
When you walk into the room
Under shadow
I can feel the heat in you
Should I be surprised
I see the possibility
Moving right across to me
And it all matters
When I’m getting close to you, hey yeah
Uh huh

 

TODAY’s RAMBLINGS:
Seriously, all dressed up but no date in sight, so what does the forever SL-Single girl do?

A. Pick up random noobish men at clubs?
B. TP over your favorite guy friend who will stroke your ego and say it’s them and not you?
C. Run around shopping with your girlfriends and drain your Ls?
D. Log Off

I did a little bit of C and D.. honestly I don’t mind being single in SL.. except for the moments when I’m feeling all cute (as I am right now) and there isn’t a boy to nuzzle (virtually at least) my neck and tell me “you did good babe”. And I miss that at times… but very few and far in between I assure you! I will say that what I miss most about a relationship, RL and SL.. is that awesome connection where it’s just lots of talking, flirting and giggling. When someone just get’s you and you stay up til all hours of the night because sleep would just cut into the time you have. WTF, I think I just revealed to all my readers exactly how mushy and girly I REALLY am? DOH!

So check this dress, so incredibly sweet isn’t it? It’s by Artilleri but is no longer available, I didn’t realize that until after I put this look together and did the pictures, I feel a teensy bad, but next post, I think I’ll do an Artilleri that’s still available, so my bad, that was major fail on my part! I’m big into mixing textures, and it’s funny how some things just work! When I saw the neckscarf at Decoy a few months back during their massive sale, I just couldn’t pass it up. It’s very elegant in a way, and draws attention to your neck and face, which is always a good thing!  A scarf so pretty needs a updo to properly show it off, so I pulled out of my massive inventory of hairs this very sweet style from Dernier Cri.  I love the flawless sweep of the bangs and wished my hair in RL would behave like that!

That’s all folks! I promise, no more relationship rambles. Maybe the moon is full??
*shrugs*

I just got a chance to publish this post today
(even though I was suppose to do it the day before)
in the midst of all this preparation to gorge myself full of thanksgiving goodness….
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!

HOT BOY ALERT #6 – Jeff Lowbeam

I first met Jeff at a poetry reading, mostly because he has an awesome voice and even better words! I’ve been a Jeff fan since, and have enjoyed all of our convos as sporadic as they are! I can sit there and lecture him about fashion and he in turns gives me a different perspective on my writings. You can visit Jeff’s poetry blog at
Life in a Second.

I’ve been bugging Jeff for a bit to let me interview him, and we finally found the time to sit down and talk. For this interview, I went more for what a guy thinks then my typical “boxers or briefs” type questions. I tried to keep it short, as we all know how I can ramble. Enjoy!

[14:22] Bubbles Komachi: So Jeff, I understand you hate prims, isn’t that like SL blasphemy??
[14:23] Jeff Lowbeam: only to SL snobs
[14:23] Bubbles Komachi stares
[14:23] Bubbles Komachi: are you meaning me sir!
[14:23] Jeff Lowbeam shrugs
[14:23] Jeff Lowbeam: if the Prada fits
[14:24] Bubbles Komachi: pardon, but I’m a Dior girl not Prada; but prims makes SL fashion just that much better!
[14:24] Jeff Lowbeam: I’m just glad RL clothing doesn’t work that way. I’d hate to have to enlarge my chest just so my shirt fits. I know you hate that feeling, Bubbles.
[14:25] Bubbles Komachi stares @ chest .. is that an observation of my too small chest?? o.O So what is your SL style mostly? Very reflective of RL or something entirely different?
[14:26] Jeff Lowbeam: I’m easy-going in both really. Not too complicated. In my line of work I wear a tie a lot, but I have to say I rely on women around me to help me stay somewhat acceptable.
[14:26] Bubbles Komachi: which is where i came in right! lol
[14:26] Jeff Lowbeam: Well, you’re not often honest with me, Bubbles.
[14:27] Bubbles Komachi: So let’s tap into the guy psyche, because guys always think one way, and it’s almost always completely different from a girl’s point of view don’t you think? Agree or disagree, men pay escorts not for the sex but so they’ll go away in the morning?
[14:28] Jeff Lowbeam: Absolutely, guys who pay for sex want it to stay just sex.
[14:28] Jeff Lowbeam: It’s like Cliff Notes to Literature…
[14:28] Bubbles Komachi: ouch!
[14:28] Jeff Lowbeam: For guys who can’t handle the real thing
[14:28] Bubbles Komachi: so escorts are cliff notes of sex?
[14:28] Jeff Lowbeam: cliff notes to relationships
[14:29] Bubbles Komachi: oooh, do you feel most men, especially here in the realm of secondlife CAN’T handle relationships?
[14:29] Jeff Lowbeam: I think MOST men (not all) use SL as a compensation for a poor RL. That’s why Noob men are so overly muscular.
[14:31] Bubbles Komachi: lol! so tell me about your shape and attitude when you started SL, how closely did you want to keep it to RL and your mentality for starting a game like this?
[14:31] Jeff Lowbeam: I worked at first to try to keep it as close to RL as possible except that I wanted to have pure white hair. Then I modified as I went like most of us do.
[14:32] Bubbles Komachi: Very Colonel Sanders chic! hehe
[14:32] Jeff Lowbeam: without the chicken grease, Southern gentleman perhaps?
[14:32] Bubbles Komachi: Woot! So why Secondlife? Did you have a purpose when you started, or was it basically “ooh looks like the sims, it could be fun” thought process
[14:33] Jeff Lowbeam: I read about poetry readings and thought “I could do that.” I totally did it for poetry exposure. Everything else I’ve gained was icing on the cake.
[14:33] Bubbles Komachi: and not the easy pixel sex? *gasps*
[14:34] Jeff Lowbeam: Nope…I haven’t even invested lindens in “cough, cough” you know.

[14:34] Bubbles Komachi: So what do you think about SL sex?
[14:35] Jeff Lowbeam: I don’t really get it.
[14:35] Bubbles Komachi: what don’t you get?
[14:35] Jeff Lowbeam: Cartoon sex seems to be unfulfilling to me. I guess if the people were getting into the story or the voice more than the animation, I could see the motivation.
[14:37] Bubbles Komachi: So.. obviously my readers wanna know about your SL status. Single? Dating? Not looking? ball and chain?
[14:37] Jeff Lowbeam: Married and totally fulfilled with the marriage. We didn’t have an SL marriage, but she is my partner here as much as in RL.
[14:38] Bubbles Komachi: Awww..so what does she think of you being an SL hotboy?
[14:39] Jeff Lowbeam: She is very amused. Only because she finds it funny that I could get a big head over this.
[14:39] Bubbles Komachi: lol, how’s your head size now?
[14:39] Jeff Lowbeam: I think it’s ok. I’ve learned to adjust it to fit my hair.
[14:40] Bubbles Komachi: rofl! and back to the prims! So I know you said you starts SL because of poetry, what do you think of the poetry scene as a whole? and what projects do you have lined up in SL now if any?
[14:41] Jeff Lowbeam: I’d like to do a book to be released in SL and RL simultaneously. I’ve done initial chat about it, but that’s all. The scene as a whole: some really good stuff, some really bad stuff, much like a local poetry scene.
[14:41] Jeff Lowbeam: It’s hard to know if people really like your stuff because you can’t read facial expressions like in RL. I’ve also found many people are hesitant to be totally honest.
[14:42] Bubbles Komachi: do you think you’ve grown creatively because of your time on SL at all?
[14:42] Jeff Lowbeam: I think sometimes people in SL over read….they spend more time reading than writing. We hear the same poems over and over.
[14:43] Jeff Lowbeam: I do think I’ve grown creatively. Any time you force yourself to meet new ideas.
[14:43] Bubbles Komachi: Sweet. So what advice would you give a noob who’s just stepped into the game for the first time?
[14:44] Jeff Lowbeam: That it works best when it’s not a game. When it’s an avenue for you to expand your knowledge, life, or relationships, it can be great. Find a mentor who has been here awhile.
[14:46] Bubbles Komachi: Very true! Ok, last question Jeff, describe your experience here in 6 words!
[14:46] Jeff Lowbeam: Enter with laughter, exit with thought.
[14:47] Bubbles Komachi: fantastic!!
[14:47] Jeff Lowbeam: ok, chicky
[14:47] Bubbles Komachi: thanks Jeff!
[14:47] Jeff Lowbeam: Thanks for a fun time.

Panty Meter Says..
8.3
Solid Yummy Goodness!

I’ve gotten some questions inworld about how I rate the interviews. Basically, I ask a group of friends, guys and girls, to read the interviews and check out the pixels before i post them. I take the average of all the scores and this is how it’s done! I think I’m going to start posting some of the comments I’ve gotten, guess i’ll start with Jeff!

Nyx Divine: Gee at first I figured that the poetry thing made him a tad pretentious….but he gets a 10 from me
Bubbles Komachi: lol! why a 10?
Nyx Divine: because he #1 is honest about his commitments
Nyx Divine: #2 and has some VERY good advice on how to deal w/ virtual SL

Syngen Sohmers: 9 on the answers. 7 of the Av so an 8 overall
