And this week we leave the movies and go into the original short characters with Donald's girlfriend Daisy! One of the "Sensational Six as they are called.


Since she only wears a top, I paired it with a white lacy dress to look like feathers. And a daisy for the pose!

So, I may have gotten behind on my days as I thought all day yesterday was Tuesday o.O not sure HOW and I was running around helping out some freinds so...yes, thats why this post is late. Sorry!


This weeks color is from the 1997 Pearl Brite speicalaty set. Pretty much if the color ends in "pearl" its from this set! I wish I had some of them they sound lovely, with a nice pearlesent sheen.


Now for the sim! I covered Mysterious Wave a while ago, but the sim has been redcorated so I went again. Now it has a lovely childhood theme. As what I call "Art water sims" its sparcely but beautifly decorated. The only skybox I found was a store so if there are more I missed them.

I shall try to get around to blogging about Relay the other weekend and showing off the build photos after I do this weeks Disneybound post.

I had NO idea where I was going to go with this one at first. The outfit we where to use is the ball gown that the fairies change from pink to blue. Now as much as I love pink, my FAVORITE version of it is when it is half pink and half blue splattered. It just looks AWESOME, and I wanted to show that. But with out creating something myself, which I didn't feel like doing. I wasn't sure how to show that.

Then it hit me to dress in pajamas as well.. SLEEPING BEAUTY, and have a pink top and blue bottoms!

Then I dug out my acorn bed, and randomly decided to be snuggling this years Relay for Life Linden bare in the photo. So here is my Aurora! All snuggly asleep!

I did not miss last weeks, Style Minions Didn't post one! So this week they posted TWO this week. Here is the one for last week. Alice, she of Wonderland.


I am completely surprised with how easily and quickly this look came together. Now I HAVE several different Alice outfits, but i had to avoid those. So I went digging into my skirts, found this one, then the top and there you go. Thank goodness for old Alice hunts so I knew where to go for the perfect pose as well!

Late with this weeks color thanks to Relay! Leather Jacket is from the 1994 magic scents pack. I'm assuming after they got rid of the food scents. Though why its a dark almost olive drab green I have NO idea. I could NOT find it in anything I wanted to wear, so I tinted a t-shirt and wore it under a leather jacket.

I picked it cause yesterday was Adar's Birthday and he ALWAYS wears a Leather Jacket. In Sl and RL. It is also the theme of the photo!

I chose to take it on the Relay sims as one of the American cancer Society tag lines is "More birthdays" SO I felt using one of the fabulous build son the 40+ sims was a good fit.


The sims will be up till Friday or Saturday, but not all the builds are still around so go visit if you haven't! I'll have my photos form it up tomorrow or Friday. I took probably around a thousand! I've been working on getting the builds down since Friday so this is all you get this week!

CRYING SO HARD!!


SEE THAT!! SEE IT SAYS 100% MET!!!!!





A friend in Secondlife just donated 125 ...which had me meet my goal. I have never met my outworld goal before. I got the email saying I met it and just..started crying.

Thank you so much to everyone that donated to help!

Why a Virtual Relay?


Click to see bigger



Some people, I am sure, get confused over why I participate in a Virtual Relay for Life on the program Secondlife. Surely sitting at your computer is not the same as getting out and physically walking a track!

Well, no, its not, but it has many benefits that a physical Real world Relay doesn't.

The biggest two are these.

Relay for Life of Secondlife allows cancer patients, and heck anyone, who are unable to Relay due to physical limitations of their illness. Bedridden due to Chemo? You can still Relay! Unable to walk? You can still Relay! All you need is a Computer with Secondlife on it. And in Secondlife, you can look like how EVER you want!


Relay for Life of Secondlife brings people together from ALL over the world and all walks of life to Relay and Fight Cancer. Relay for Life may have been started by the American Cancer Society, but it works Wold Wide now. Being virtual, people from opposites sides of the world can Relay side by side with out leaving their home country.


A Lesser ones is, No matter the weather outside in Relay for life of Secondlife the weather is ALWAYS perfect!

The people may be on the computer but they are as real as any you will meet in the organic world. Their stories are just as heartbreaking to hear. And just as Uplifting.


Bringing all these factors together, and RFL of SL is one of the biggest Relay's. Last year we raised $375,385. and 1,741 people came and walked the virtual track . You can learn stats from other past Relay's on this page http://rflofsl.intuitwebsites.com/History-of-RFL-of-SL.html Next year will be the tenth year of RFL of SL. it will be amazing! Each year we get bigger and bigger, raising more and more.


And that is why I Relay on my computer.

READY TO RELAY!!

While the majority of bloggers are all hyped for Hair faire this weekend. I'm not. I'm Hyped for RELAY FOR LIFE!!

THIS IS IT THE BIG WEEKEND!!

I've got my skittles, my tea, my caffeen and everything else I need to stay awake 24 hours and walk that track!

Speaking of the track I am on it now. Getting a preview and getting photos before the sims are SLAMMED with hundreds of avatars supporting cancer research!

Click Here to see this years track. The red circle is the Steelhead Camp sight.

I have on an outfit I partly made myself. This year I am Relaying in honor of my Friend Blue who passed on This past winter of Leukemia.

So I am wearing blue, both in world and while sitting at the computer.

This year the theme is 100 Years of Hope. To celebrate the 100 anniversary of the American Cancer society.

So I decided to combine the two and make a Blue Lantern Shirt. In the world of DC comics, you have the Lantern Corps. It started with the extremely well known Green Lanterns. Then in recent years expanded to include the full spectrum of Colors and a variety of emotions. red = rage, orange = avarice/greed, yellow = fear , green = willpower, blue = hope, indigo = compassion, violet = love, black= death, and white =life.

You'll notice what the color blue means.

Hope.

It's the corps I claim in real life when asked which corps would I best fit into. Hope means so much to so many people. I want to bring that.

And for this years Relay, combining the HOPE with the BLUE just was, fate. I wish we hadn't lost Blue. But I will honor her by brining HOPE to others.

Wont you join me on the track and help me bring hope?

http://rflofsl.intuitwebsites.com/ For more information.

Steelheads Camp sight Which has a Library theme this year and Lunar's build is just amazing.


I made myself a Blue lantern Tshirt. With a bit of help from Turlock, and I scanned in and made a SL version of a favor Blue's parents gave out this year at the Faire she used to work. It's made from a bit of her Wedding dress.

I also have a Cobalt bottle for sale in a Relay Vendor and Commissioned blueberry Lemonade from Ambrose in her honor as well.She used to sell lemonade at faires. Both are at the Steelhead campsite.

So, this weeks color is not an official Crayola crayon, though it SHOULD be. It is the color of Relay for Life. I did a lot of searching to find the right shade to use and asked in relay chat to get the official RGB and hex codes.

Purple is the Color for Relay as it is the chosen color to represent All cancer survivors. It is a color of Hope *except in the DC Comics, more on that in another post* . I chose to go with a none Crayon color as this weekend is THE big weekend. Relay for Life! Time to walk the track to fight cancer. http://rflofsl.intuitwebsites.com/ For more information. You can be sure I will be blogging while Relaying!





Please donate if you possibly can.


The outfit I chose is one of Kouse's last outfits before she stopped making gowns and switched to Jewelry. I forget if it was a Relay outfit or not.

The sim is of Course, Enchanted, which i said I'd visit again. It is still there today, so hopefully that means someone stepped in and saved it, There has been no announcement of it being saved though. So hurry to visit it!

I throughly enjoyed my visit this time. I discovered so many little new things Nat has put in. Like more unicorns! And lovely little touches all over. The Sim has three of Andrek Lowell 's famous quests, two for unicorns and one for a dragon. And many many hidden areas to discover. Plus in the trees there is an art gallery of many amazing fantasy artists who focus their works on Secondlife.

So.. Dumbo. A baby elephant with big ears that was a clown for a bit.. I was not sure at first how to do this one, so I took a cue from the Style minion girls and went looking for some elephant themed Jewelry. The squee when I found a PINK ELEPHANT charm was loud! None of my gray outfits worked so I again went digging and tossed the rest together. Then back to digging for something with a black feather, which is what gave Dumbo the courage to learn to fly. The Truth hair had feathers and worked with the hat!

Toss in a circus pose and here is my Dumbo!

Now for the color explanation for this weeks CRAZY color! In 1997, Crayola released a set of crayons called Color Mix Up, each color was a solid color with flecks of two other colors in it. On the chart I found for the colors, the background color was the predominant color, with the flecks being represented in the Text. And I promise you now, this is the ONLY time a mix up will show up, I chose it for the obvious holiday link.


Next weeks color is the first of the two none crayon colors, for obvious reasons. Though both SHOULD be crayon colors! *shakes a fist* get on it Crayola!


Now, guess what! I explored a sim again! Woot! I went to the annual Summer Town celebration. The sim changes for holidays and this is what they did for American Independence Day. 2013 Summer Town! A fun temporary build with all kinds of Americana, and shops to get your USA on. Clothing, foods, party decorations and TONS of fireworks! And nearly everything you see can be bought.

SAVE A SIM!

I just got the notice from the group. One of my FAVORITE sims is going to have to CLOSE if someone doesn't take it over!

SAVE THE UNICORNS!!!

Enchanted of Elven Realm Closing Monday, July 8




Group Notice From: Enchanted Dreamers, Natalie Montagne

Hi Dreamers,

It's with a heavy heart that I must announce the closing of Elven Realm on Monday July 8. Unfortunately, at this time, I just can't justify the monthly tier payment. I would like to be able to find someone who loves the sim enough to take over the payments here on out. If you all know of anyone who might be interested, please let me know! I do plan to have some land where I can keep the Kaleidoscope gallery open. Thank you for all your wonderful support!

Natalie


This sim is stunning and one of the most amazing places in second life! I'd take it over if I could but I am poor. Someone help!

http://secondlife.com/destination/elven-realm

I went to it first back in 2010 when it opened, I can't find the blog post, it predates my blogger account, but the photos I took of it are all at http://www.softpaw.org/LJimages/SL/Enchanted/index.html The place looks even more amazing now after some changes over the years. My photos do not do it justice!

It's one of the amazing Andrek Lowell 's creations with quests and gifts and hidden spots all over. His amazing spots are slowly disappearing from the grid and this is a SHAME . This place is my childhood dreams come to Secondlife.


Go, explore it yourself, if you can take it over PLEASE contact Natalie Montagne

I will do a hopefully not the last exploration of it this week and post those photos. I hope and pray it will accompany good news of the sim being saved!
