**There are imperfections with this top. I corrected them with editing. There is a clip in the collar, and a texture issue on the right shoulder. I've attempted to contact the creator. Appears to only be an issue on the fatpack exclusive, which sucks. The clipping on the collar is there regardless of animation or pose. In this gyazo gif, I am not using any AO or pose, at all. I did not catch these imperfections when I was trying on the demo, so I just want to point them out to you, as well, before you go drop the L$ on the fatpack to get this version and get disappointed, too. I will update this post if the creator ever gets back to me.
(UPDATE: On February 1st 2020 the creator did IM me back "Hello love today i will be issuing a refund for the chanel crop fatpack, however this is a one time occurrence as we do offer demos to prevent these problems." and issued a refund. As I said before, I did demo the item and did not notice the clipping or the texture issue. The clipping is apparent on multiple shapes, and I couldn't see the texture issue on the demo as the demo was not for the exclusive texture. I'm thankful for a refund, but would honestly have preferred to have it fixed.)

Someone once told me the key is to pick something completely out of the ordinary, and just casually be that thing. At the time he was a turret headed robot man, wearing a tee shirt and sneakers. 

Me? I'm just a monster, casually waiting for the bus. I don't really see why you all must stare. We all need to get where we're going.

Once again I'm wearing some super dope eyes from +FATHER+. Seriously I can't get over the depth and layering in them. Damien does a really great job, and has so many varieties. I'm not worthy. ;-; ♥

Hell hath no fury like an angry girl. Seriously.

Have you ever had someone take something you said or did and COMPLETELY manipulate and twist it to work in their favor? I'm sure we all have, at some point. During my time in SL I've seen a lot of "mean girls" stuff, and even had some pulled on me, in the past. I'd say for sure I learned to choose wisely who I really open up to. I guess no matter how wonderful some people are, others can be real snakes! That being said, I am so blessed to have made as many true friends as I have online. I always moved around a lot during my youth, and made a lot of great online friends along the way. Can any of you relate? Always an open ear or up for making new friends over common bonds!

On a happier note, I'd love to give a special thank-you to Mary , the creator of CryBunBun for providing this cute AF outfit and decor! See below for full details (and more pictures)! ♥

Decor from CryBunBun! Daisy Artist set is available at SaNaRae until January 17th! Sora Wand (Dark) is available in the mainstore!

I'm really doing my best to stick to things like gifts and sales! I don't think the general public of SecondLife really know what sort of steals and deals are out there. Trying is the key word here, I couldn't help myself at the Okinawa New Year Festival. There were a couple things I couldn't live without.

Featured items from this week's Saturday Sale. While I was at Olive grabbing this weeks sale hair, I noticed a 75% off sale going on. They're always so generous with sales, and there are FIFTEEN lucky boards on the wall that are not group exclusive, so if you need hair, or know anyone who does (especially people who are new to SL), send them over! 

When I swung by the Okinawa New Year Festival, as well, there were plenty of gifts sprinkled around there, too! It's a fun event, all around. There are little food carts that give out food, a shooting gallery, and a temple at the top of the hill. I think it would be a great spot to take some pictures.

I'd like to give a special thanks to Damien, for giving me +FATHER+'s new eyes to use! They are STUNNING. More details and close-up below! ♥

I feel like people really sleep on free gifts!

I took a trip to the Shop & Hop Winter Shopping Event and picked up all the gifts, and the creators have all been super generous this year! I said in an earlier post that I started this new blog with an avi that had a pretty fresh and empty inventory. Well...this has actually proven to be a bit of a challenge, as I have so little to wear for blog posts, so this event's gifts have been so nice! I was sorting through all the gifts and came across this dress, and hair, and jewelry/purse set and it all just went together so perfectly! There's still time to go and grab these goodies! The event ends on January 6th.

Cold outside...cold inside.
The fire in my soul has died.

I'm really having fun with BOM (Bakes On Mesh)!!

Being able to dig out some old stuff and use it is epic, also opens up so many options for items that already existed, but were long forgotten on the MP and in stores all over the grid.
