TODAY’s RAMBLINGS:
RL is going at lightening speed, it’s because I’m so motivated there that it seems to be spilling into my SL also. Last week I was complaining about how my inventory is such a mess and I can’t find anything. Kai starts telling about how she completely emptied out her inventory after her long hiatus away, deleting or boxing up misc things she never wears anymore.

The last time I cleaned my inventory was maybe 2009, I started looking through my folders and I barely remembered 90% of the items. So I started to clean, I boxed up all my old skins, my vast collection of Celestial Studios, Canimal, old ETD hairs, old Truth hairs, Gurl6 hairs (remember them!?), Stiletto Moody shoes and so much more! I honestly got overwhelmed at one point and had to take a break. It took me about 4 days of constantly working at reducing my inventory then a day to organize what i had left into folders that can be easily accessible. With that all said and done, I went from 52.278 down to 35,294! Yes! I deleted or boxed up 16,984 items, of course I would have much less if I would’ve boxed up my old Dazzle/Last Call folder, but I couldn’t. I know it’s sentimental and it was my first fashion love when I started SL in 2006. I know for a fact that I own everything Ginny Talamasca ever put out, thought not all the colors I’m sure, but the act of boxing it all up, I couldn’t. Am I weird? Yea, a little bit!

All these drugs, all these women,
I’m never forgiven,
This broken heart of mine…

What.. really Bubbles?? Two weeks in a row you’re on time? Why YES readers, I AM ON TIME for the second week in a row. YEA BUDDY! Had some much-needed SL (and RL) retail therapy this week and I have a few cute things to show off and use, but my budget was limited so I couldn’t get everything or as much as I wanted. That’s ok, I can get them next splurge weekend. I did pick up these fantastic high-waist cropped pants from Fishy Strawberry, I’ve been eyeing them since their release and lucky for me, they also work for this week’s Color Challenge: Wenge.

I was so thrown off by wenge when I first saw it as a color, but after googling it, Wenge is basically a dark wood, (yea!) easy peasy!! It helps when the “fancy” colors have simple meanings! I like this look, its soft, sweet and age appropriate. As in, I’ve been on SL for 5 years now and I feel old and way out of my short dresses that show off my crotch mode! Although, every so often, I still rock those short somethin’ somethin’s! Next week’s color is Mulberry, can’t wait to tackle it, how very sad though, only 3 weeks left to the challenge.

I’m going all the way
Get away please

It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve been shopping in SL, it gave me a chance to re-use a lot of things I had in my inventory, so that’s been great, but there are a few things I’ve been salivating after that finally became mine this week! Lot’s of LeLutka hairs, Sixt-Nine hairs, Fishy Strawberry clothes, Kyoot clothes, new poses and a bunch of little things here and there. Sixty-Nine is closing its doors permanently (sad panda!)on Oct 20th, all their hair packs are 150Ls or 99Ls for group members, just don’t forget your group tag. I’m going to miss Kumi’s creations, hopefully she’ll be back to creating gorgeousness again!

I know I’m late to the game with posting LeLutka’s latest hairs. I was broke deng it, but now that I am in possession of Blythe, I see what the fuss is about, I friggin’ LOVE this hair! I love the volume, I love the shape, I love the color.. it just SCREAMS for me to be a blonde. Adore it hardcore! The fluffy cardi from Fishy Strawberry is fully sculpted, how awesome is that!?

Yeah, we divas
But we ride like big boys do

Diggin’ the fact that I’m banging out my old color challenges so fast, with this Color Challenge: Brick Red done, I almost officially caught up! I searched for “brick” in my inventory thinking nothing would come up since I don’t really recalling buying much of the ashy dark red color, but this Fishy Strawberry dress appeared and once again, instead of second guessing and possibly looking for something else. I went with it! Speaking of Fishy Strawberry, did you see Fae’s notecard about all their new releases?? I’m squealing with want right now, especially the open cardigan, it will be my fall go-to item. I’m going to fat-pack that bad boy. I’m looking forward to the next color for the 52 WoC, it’s Khaki and so many are going with a safari theme, but Luna has this gorgeous Victoria style dress on her page and I personally already knew what I was going to wear. I hope it works, it’s one of my favorite items in my inventory and I rarely have a place to wear it too, probably why I’m going through the old challenges so quickly, just so I can get to Khaki. Sad.. a bit… hella funny? Hell yea!
