A Teeter Totter -- Featuring Evolve

When I was younger, the play scapes at home and at school were nothing close to safe. I think people started getting anxious about their little ones burning their bottom on the slide or falling off the top of a slide that let you climb the distance normally used to measure one story in a building.

One of the things I never see on the new friendlier, safer play scapes today - Teeter Totters. They're also called See-Saws. Since the US East coast has two terms for the same toy, there are likely many others around the world. I played on all the dangerous things, the slide I already mentioned, the swings and of course the spin till you fall off or spit up merry-go-round.

Thankfully, I'm no worse for the wear. Most of the kids of my era seemed to grow up just fine, mostly safe even if they made rather silly choices in a less than careful world. I wonder if the people who create play scapes realize they're creating mirrors of a world that taught us to close our eyes and hang on tightly.

I spent the better part of childhood on the teeter totter as the child who was too light to make their side go down, so I was at the mercy of the bigger kids. I squealed and screamed, all the fun stuff little girls do.

In my current world, at the age I'm at, I still feel like I'm on life's teeter totter. It would be nice if a squeal or scream could pause or change the ups and downs of my now. I would live in a very noisy house! Live! Laugh! Love!

From Little Bo Peep To a Party Because She Found Them -- Featuring [[Masoom]], Evolve and Luziefee

When I styled for this blog, I couldn't help but think of the resemblance I had to the children's story rhyme I knew from bygone days. I didn't have a staff, but I did find my trusty umbrella. I would hate to get that pretty frock wet!

Luziefee has this dress out for the Love Donna Flora event and it's precious. I loved the innocence of the look, and the emotion it evokes as a result. Maybe we all need to reflect back on more innocent days now and then, and visit that little girl inside ourselves when we do.

The styling for this dress "Fine Day" is almost all Luziefee too. An entire outfit comes with this, from the hat to the gloves with sculpted sleeves to the little heels. It's lively and with the muted color scheme of cadet blue and cream, I know I can enjoy styling pieces of it later with new looks.

[[Masoom]] actually put this gown out a while ago, but there's a fun story attached to this styling, so I included it in my blog for tonight. During the day, any given day, I never know what people will ask or share or say in IM or in a group. Two days ago, I responded to a 'Help Need Audience' plea that came in a conference.

I changed immediately, to suit the colors of the video, then magically swooshed through the air to this beautiful place set up for a wedding. I had no idea it was a wedding when I answered the call but loved being there. Once it was done, I took a shot up close to add to my little batch of possible head shots I might use in a contest.

Evolve has this sweet little dress Valenteen on sale this coming weekend for the 60L Sale event. It's one of those rich warm colors that almost any shade of skin can wear, and sleek and easy to wear for all sorts of occasions. I've noticed so many designers preparing for fall, on and off line, and that monochromatic look will go with all of us from summer to autumn. If the first outfit resembles a childhood memory, this from Evolve is the little girl all grown up and ready to celebrate. She found her sheep. It's as good a reason as any to Party!

Liv-Glam New Releases and All on Sale Fi*Friday

So many treats are available at Liv-Glam this weekend. Fi*Friday has not one but FOUR new looks.

The Claudia Balloon Dress comes with multiple texture options and the boots shown here are also new releases, Stella Solar Latex Knee Boots. With a bag over my shoulder, I'm ready to shop til I drop. The dress and boots are both on sale for Fi*Friday.

Toto, we're definitely not in Kansas anymore. I love the fact that in Second Life, you can be anywhere your imagination takes you. I hailed a taxi, and one came flyin`. Think I'll get to Liv-Glam the short way? Layers of this Roma Soir Outfit look classy and professional, yet the shear top under the sweater gives sway to a bit of naughty fun just below the surface.

And this last dress actually comes in two pieces and has six different colors for this radical 70's inspired texture. You can mix and match since it's actually a top and skirt, coloring each piece differently, or you could add in a skirt from another outfit in your Liv-Glam collection and diversify this outfit even more. I was thinking about the old classic movie, "Singing in the Rain" when I created this photo.
