jOMG Bitch Please!

Incoming ventage, kinda...

Take this random comment...

"a blogger with an incredible good taste and she does amazing photos and that's pretty much what i need to know about clothes."

Today's topic will be taste. TASTE! What gives us "taste" in SL? I do not define "taste" as having the foresight to post pictures of yourself in styles that were GIVEN TO YOU!

A lot of the "newer" fashion blogs only cover "new releases" and ones that were given as "review copies"... Does this mean that the blogger has taste, a style of their own, etc? Or are they merely just showing *us* new releases that they were given?

I personally prefer a fash blog where the writer/contributor goes out, mixes it up, and shows me things I cannot find normally on every other blog out there. Oh yesh, and SLURLS. I love love love the SLURLS.

Your opinions? Discuss. kkthnx

Happy Leap Day

Every four years we get an extra day. Don't question it, just enjoy it. Hah! Hawks says I'm getting my blogs confused - he's probably right, he usually is.

I logged into SL this morning after 2 days out to catch up on offlines, invey offers & such... so I have stuff to blog. It's all in my head but at the moment I haven't much time to get in, take pics, etc.

I've been wanting to do a post on SL to RL (Gilly suggested this for a JH Report months ago - love ya Gillian) but I'm trying to figure out exactly how I want to write that one up. Hawks & I may not be doing it right, or by the book (if there is one) but as soon as I gather thoughts & have time to just sit down & tell "our" story, I will.

Have a great leap day! Huggles & kissiepops!

Starting to warm up...

RL is a blast! It's getting warmer here in the armpit of the US. Haha! Kidding! I love Kansas. Today my boys & I actually got out to play some bball at the school. I had the advantage cause I'm taller. Nyah! Nyah! We played until we tied.

Goop on the other hand...

well, he was doing it wrong. Hah!

TMI Tuesday - 80's edition

Hey all, tonight is the night!! Jell and I will be DJ'ing at Clockworks from 6-8 pm SLT. I will be featuring 80's exclusively with the set split into a dance set, and then an old school hip hop set. Jell is going to be featuring women artists from both the 80's and 90's in her set.

I will be debuting a little retrospective segment, that I have not decided yet is funny or stupid... come and you be the judge... :p

Cause... I'm cold!

Winter winter winter SUCKS! kkthnx

Other randomness from my day off:

"my uterus will be dead before it ever has a chance to live"

"I'm waiting for... iunno what I'm waiting for."

"What's a beefcake of the millennium? Wasn't that Wrath?"

Jelly: I thought it was funny that he sent it to the "nice" Mean Girl! [me]
Rosie: Hahahaha I saw that too.

"That's how shopping should be done... you get in & get out."

"We can't help it if we stand around & get distracted."

Time Out!

Before I start this post I would like to add that this is *my* blog and though it has always been mostly SL, the tide has changed. I'm spending a lot more time in RL so there may be a RL post here & there. kkthnx


All last week & so far this week I've busted my ass trying to get a new job in RL. I've also been battling what I believe is the flu, so no transportation other than my feet & the cold air is doing me in.

So since I woke up unable to breath through my nose, with sinus pressure galore.... Oh joy! I have designated today as a TIME OUT day! Too often we let the everyday stresses, hustle, bustle & busy-ness rule our day. Not today I say. Nay! Nay to lifes craptastical crapola!

Everyone gets the day off to just focus on *you*. Yup! I say so. So here are a few things to help you feel relaxed...

• Relax Yourself With A Daydream - You can relax yourself using nothing more than your imagination. This technique, also called “creative visualization,” helps you relax yourself by focusing your thoughts on something positive that will give you the peace and serenity you need in order to succeed at even the most stressful task. To relax yourself, just think of a place or an experience that makes you feel happy and calm. You can try remembering a time when you felt peaceful, or imagining a fictional event that would make you feel happy and successful. A favorite moment from childhood can do the trick, as can something outrageous like imagining yourself accepting an award at a fancy gala. The key is to focus on making your visualization as vivid as possible. What are the smells and sounds in the place you’re imagining? How do you feel, from your toes to the top of your head? If you can make the experience vivid, you’ll relax yourself completely. Just surrender to five minutes of daydreaming, and you’ll leave the stressors of your current situation behind. When you return, you’ll feel energized, refreshed, and calm.
• Take a bubble bath - Nothing is more invigorating than a a good soak in a warm bubble bath. Lean back, close your eyes, and just breath.
• Relax Yourself With A Sensory Cue - You can use your senses to relax yourself in just five minutes if you use a sensory cue. Anything from a particular scent to a tactile sensation to a specific piece of music can help you relax yourself, so long as you associate the sensory cue with feeling calm and peaceful. Try turning on a classic music track, or lighting a scented candle. Focus on taking in the stimulus that you’ve created, and you’ll relax yourself. It’s easy to relax yourself in five minutes, or even two or three, just by changing your environment so that it feels more soothing.
• Relax Yourself With A Breathing Exercise - Changing the speed of your breath is a great way to relax yourself fast. Try setting a timer for five minutes so that you can forget about watching the clock, and just pay attention to your breathing rhythm. Breathe in to a slow count of five, and out again to another five count. Continue to breath slowly, and you’ll relax yourself by tricking your body. When you breath at a slow, peaceful pace, your heart rate will also calm down, and the flood of adrenaline in your system that leads to stress will dissipate. You can relax yourself just by pretending you’re already relaxed; when you take slow, deep breaths, the way you would if you felt calm and peaceful, your body will start to think there’s nothing to worry about. You’ll feel a big difference after just five minutes!
• Relax Yourself With A Cup Of Herbal Tea - Having a warm, soothing cup of herbal tea is a great way to relax yourself fast. The warmth and steam will help open your throat and nasal passages so that you begin to breathe more deeply. The aroma and taste will help you focus your thoughts so that worries and cares take a backseat to the experience of holding, smelling, and drinking the tea. Savoring a cup of caffeine free herbal tea combines the power of a breathing exercise with the power of a sensory cue, which means you’ll be able to relax yourself fast. Just make sure to pay attention to what you’re drinking; the more you can concentrate on the act of enjoying your tea, the faster you’ll relax yourself. Five minutes with a cup of tea can leave you feeling vibrant and ready for any challenge. All you need to do to relax yourself is let the tea become the most important thing in your day for just five minutes, and you’ll feel great! Thank you baby for the tea! :)
• Crawl back into bed - If you can try crawling back into bed. Take a nap. Remmy kindergarten? Nap time rawked!

Enjoy your day off, I'm going to enjoy mine now. Mwah!

Warm, Fuzzy & Squishy

That's my Rosie Shawk! Enough with all the ugliness around here. Seriously. I've said my peace, so now I present to you (drum roll please......)

MY ROSIE POSIE PUDDIN PIE - The apple of my eye!

In all my time in SL, I've been very lucky to meet some amazing people. Rosie being one of them. She is always there to give me just the right reality slap (Ouch!), advice that I don't wanna hear (but she's right), up for any hair-brained scheme (Did you get a Morrisey yet?) and great at shopping cycloning with me (did you see that new release?). Just like Aka, she just *gets* me.

THANK YOU FOR BEING REZZED INTO MY SLIFE!

Fucking Amazing!

For all those who thought that last blog post was about them... seriously. Just IM me next time. I'll let ya know without the chance of slander. kkthnx

And for something else completely different... kinda.

SL meets RL - really now? I'm so glad I was informed of this new development. Just *one* warning: Don't fuck with a mother & her cubs, even the one that stayed behind. My bite is a hell of a lot worse than my bark. kkthnxbai
