Cannibelle / Wasabi Pills New Releases

Lately, my inventory has pretty much taken over my time in SL.  I dream of the day when it's not lagging me down (it does happen) and I can actually not worry about it.  Some days I really am tempted to just pitch the whole thing or switch to one of my alts.  I know it's been done but on the other hand I am enamored with SL fashion and have collected this great treasure trove, though I can't find half of it.  And I love Eden.  I am not my avatar but I do bring myself to SL and I've never really felt quite myself on the others.  My friend, Whisper Despres, is keeping count of her inventory size on her new blog, Fashion Fumbles, and I am going to do the same thing here.  Whisper is an awesome blogger and many of you might have been following her on freebles.  She has decided to not limit herself to freebie blogging, which I kidded her about because Whisper is CHEAP and she loves to hunt.  If she doesn't, she feels she is missing something and starts to get weirder than usual.  We all have our fetishes, don't we? Mine is shopping and my inventory is 107, 677 which is down from over 114 K when I started to get serious about this.
I'm not sure why I feel compelled to talk here.  I'm not a super chatty person but for me blogging is a personal expression of what I love.  I have recently received a couple of items for review that I am excited about. Annabelle Couturier of Cannibelle is a lovely lady who has gained my attention for her work with lingerie and tattoos.  She is not exorbitantly expensive and she does good work.  She has recently released the Harpreet Lingerie, which has a decidedly South Asia feel to it.  It gave me a chance to bust out my loved [BA] Moroccan set, which I see he is offering at Collabor88 now (not the pavillion).  The new chairs look updated and I'm literally forcing myself not to get the new ones.  She has also created the new Aadita Henna tattoo, which works so well with the lingerie.  I've noticed that she seems to make the effort to have her tattoos compliment her lingerie and I appreciate that.  The other item I recently recieved is Wasabi Pills newest mesh hair, Nicole.  MissAllSunday must work like a maven.  She is cranking out the most fabulous hair lately and really seems to get this mesh deal.  I've said it before and I will repeat it: She has some of the nicest hair textures on the grid and everything is available in a ton of colors.  I've been converted into a big fan.

Happy Monday Kinda

I usually blog because I have a reason.  I'm not the kind of person that loves to take pictures of myself or spend a lot of time fussing and editing my photos.  It takes too much time and I always think nobody is looking anyways.  But one thing I do love to do and seldom have the time to do anymore is put together ensembles.  And shopping - I love to shop!  Usually I shop solo but the one person who I can shop with pretty well is Jacqui.  The problem is we start "oooo'ing" everything and the next thing you know we've each blown a lot of Lindens.  Some days we practically channel each other and look like the Olsen Twins and other times Jac is full out sexy girl and I look like some primmed out version of Bea Arthur or something.

Lately, I've been covering a lot of events which means I spend a lot of time by myself taking pictures.  I'm pretty introverted but sometimes it can get lonely and every IM or notice feels like an intrusion.  I'm sure other bloggers can relate; I'm organizing things into folders so I don't lose them, trying to stay on top of my inventory size, and taking photos.  What I'm wearing is usually the last thing I blogged.  My whole household has been sick since just after Thanksgiving and I picked up the horrible plague sometime last week and am still narly.  The boy finally returned to school today (yay). So when I logged in yesterday I just said "screw it" and put together an mishmash made up of pieces I already owned.  Those of us that lean towards the fashion scene can get so caught up in new stuff that we overlook the great things we have.  So this is a reminder to myself to enjoy SL, for me it's not a job, I don't have to be so driven and single minded and can take time for fun.
