Safari With Me To A Land So Far Far Away -- Rams Wear, Mag (Heart). B at Four Seasons Market, and Wicca's Wardrobe

After a number of styles constructed with the deliberate holiday themed look, I pulled this casual combination together tonight after one of those long long days that sometimes happen during the month of December as a result of rushing to and fro to visit and be visited, to share and celebrate, to eat and exchange gifts, and while it was all wonderful, including a brand new grand-nephew to ooh and ahh over, I came home pehhh-zausted.

A cup of tea, eyes with smudged makeup and probably swollen puffy pockets of fluid under both hide well behind the sunglasses I found. I went with a safari theme, Zebras and Elephants, rocking in a recliner, kicked back with dreams of warmer weather, romping in the wild, visiting life at a different pace than this crazy pelmel holiday season inspires. For a moment, I could almost smell the fresh grain of springtime on the wind, and imagine the wild beasts roaming with young offspring ready to take on the world.

Rams Wear sent out a notice recently, seeking bloggers. I'd worn a few items in various events from the store but had not consistently followed his sense of style. I love mixing things up, with the pretty princess look some days and the casual country girl other days. The long sweater, Kenitra in Wine, offers options, long enough to cover the hips if you wanted a playful short bit of knitted fluff on for clubbin', but also might be worn over tights as shown, leggins or even your favorite jeans. Wicca's Wardrobe created several pieces for the J&A Expo that ran recently and in her mini collection for that event, she had the 'Adventurer' hat and the Gambler Heels. Zebra prints added a touch of the wild to both. And the clever new tights found at Four Seasons Market by Mag <3. B, with the knee patch caught my attention immediately because I love the whole hipster layered look and this pair of tights with the heart shaped patches appealed to me and suited the overall aesthetic I wanted. One other accessory I pulled out of a folder of -in the wild- style items were a pair of shades, VB Shades Zebra RED, sold by BSD Design studio. All in all, I was able to weave the story in my head, close my eyes and take a jaunt out into the world to a land of far far away for just a little while, and now I might rest and carry those daydreams with me into sleep.

I really enjoy what I do each day as a blogger in Second Life. I have asked a few people along the way if they accept bloggers, and submitted blogger applications. I also have had the joy of friends mentioning me to other friends and ending up working with new friends as a result.

A few times already, I've had items I blogged that were from my regular sponsors. I did a dress for [[Masoom]], a dress from A.F.I Designs and shoes from {{BSD Design Studio}}. I cherish those designers who've invested in me in the long haul. I believe they realize I do not take them for granted.

I have a hard time asking for help. I don't ask for free items. I couldn't imagine ever doing so. I think I'd freak out a bit if someone tried to make me. During this Boho Fair, I've posted a whole plethora of blogs, several a day sometimes. I know it's a lot of data to process because it's a lot for you and me.

Really special little moments happen in these special event settings for bloggers, at least they have for me and I consider them memories of people at their finest, leading me on my continued sense of positive overall energy in Second Life and my hopefulness that it overcomes darkness fully.

I told one of the designers who'd provided a whole array of items for blogging how grateful I was at their generosity. I try to piece together as many things from the fair itself, and then go to other sponsors items and finally my own personal inventory to get a styling done well.

Because this designer put all sorts of items in their box, I had unusual trinkets of all sorts to add to each blog styling for this fair. When I thanked the owner/designer, the reaction I received only added a greater blessing, "Anything you need. Anything at all. Just let me know."

I've had fun fitting all the pieces together for this event. I think I have one or two more stylings I'll share this week, and I'll have had exposure to more designers than I have ever had. What a treat. It's work. It's FUN work. And I love it.
