.. come with me to the beach ..

A day at the beach with a close friend… sunbathing, reading the latest mags, dipping our toes now and then in the ocean, loads of gossip and so many laughs… this is a great way spend a warm spring day.  Still not too hot and the fresh air is so enjoyable.  A cooler close by to ensure we have all the drinks we need and a dog to run on the beach with, what more could you ask for?

041817 wwinxandflair friendsThe pose for two avatars shown above is from Winx & Flair and called Summer Secrets. It is a great girlfriend pose and could be used at the beach, at the house, or in the grass.  It’s adjustable and easy to fit for both of our avis.  

Sometimes when you are at the beach, you are lucky enough to watch the surfers, paddleboarders and even skimboarders.  Occasionally, one of the guys might catch your eye and you spend the afternoon hanging out… maybe he offers to teach you to surf or you just enjoy watching him swim out and surf back in.  Either way, if you are enjoying, hopefully you have the opportunity to stick around and enjoy the sunset into the horizon – a beautiful way to end the day at the beach.

041817 senses couple 70 Pose FairThe above pose and prop are from ::: Senses :::, a pose shop new to me.  This set is Couples pose 70 and it is was perfect for beach pose.  The only adjustment that was needed for our avis was with the surfboard.  The board was transfer so I was able to hand it off to Sol for the pic which made it easier to adjust. 

Pose Fair 2017 is open now with so many of the amazing Second Life pose creators all together in one place to display their creations!  Both of the poses above can be found at Pose Fair 2017 until April 29th.

We are just around the corner from the next round of The Arcade Gacha Shopping Event.  The December round is always one of my favorites because so much of the focus is on Christmas and holiday activities, winter fun, decor and all. The designers put their fingers to the bone and bring some awesome items that you will want to collect to decorate your home, your avatar and your surroundings.  Another good thing about The Arcade in December is that it opens with plenty of time to do ALL your Christmas shopping with everything so easily transferrable!  Take a look at the Shopping Guide and plan on just how you will spend your lindens!

.. que sera sera ..

We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Pose Fair andika 031216

Spring brings a playful breeze to the meadows and the butterflies prance upon the flowers to greet us. Ever so blessed to have a butterfly light upon the tips of our fingers – SZ

andika presents “Que sera sera”, a set of five poses and mirrors all with butterfly props as an exclusive item at Pose Fair 2016. The set also includes the animations, a multipose ball and a pose HUD so that you can utilize the poses in other ways as well.
