Hey strangers

So, I’ve been away a long while.  And I’m not back yet.

I hate to do this, but I promise I’ve exhausted every possibility.  Those very few of you that know what happened – well, know it got worse.  Those of you that don’t, I have no answer, I just have to hope that you have the same faith in people I try to have (tho I must admit this is becoming increasingly difficult).

Short answer, I need money.  I’m sorry to be so blunt.  A few months ago I came inworld with a view to selling on Efe’s transferrable assets.  A very kind and generous friend offered me space and prims, but I did not have the personal energy to be inworld to do it.  Efemera was my joy, and I have no joy left.

I hate to do this, but I’m posting into the blue as to if maybe anyone can help.  This blog has gone so long since update, I don’t even know if it will still be in people’s feeds.  I get average 2 hits a day now, doubtless webcrawlers.

Those of you that know me and have my mail, I’ll answer any questions you have, but please remember sometimes I can go up to 2 wks without opportunity to check mail (those of you that have sent me kind offline messages – after four days I can’t reply, and is usually longer than that that I can check).

I don’t expect help, and I’m again very sorry to ask, but this is my last shot in the dark.

I miss Efemera desperately, but she was my joy, and that has gone.

I wish you all love.

Quick Look: d’A-Bomb

Super quickie today.  Lavea Alter of A-Bomb is in the process of reviewing her inventory.  She’s working on some wonderful updates to classics such as this slip dress, whilst the remainder of her lines are super-mega-cheapie bargains in the clearance area.

Quick Look: Triple Challenge

My mother was, no doubt, unusually youthful in appearance even for her years: she hung her head, as if it were her fault, poor thing, and said, sobbing, that indeed she was afraid she was but a childish widow, and would be but a childish mother if she lived.

David Copperfield – Charles Dickens

So, there’ve been so many blogger challenges over the last week or so, I decided time-starved or not, I should make the effort and take part in at least one of them.  Should it be Winter Jefferson‘s Rosebud Challenge?  Teagan Blackthorne‘s Literature Challenge?  Or Jhuzen Ketsugo‘s credit-crunch inspired challenge to not shop?  Oh, what the heck, why not all three?

Anya

Siddean Munro recently added to the growing family of SLink skins with Anya, the younger sister – fresh, natural and unassuming, but I’m sure nobody will put this baby in a corner.  (Lord knows where that line came from, I didn’t buy into the whole Dirty Dancing thing!!  Anyways, Anya to me will always conjure up memories of Buffy – oh, happy days!  And yes, I’m a dork.)

Flirting with Ivalde

Oh, I know, shoot me for the unimaginative title, but it’s another late night post.  This time, I’m burning the midnight oil in honour of my rezday yesterday, perfectly coinciding with the release of Ivalde’s new Retropolitan gown which just had to be my present to myself, as it’s the perfect foil to the divine Tiffany diamonds by Flirt I’ve been hoarding in inventory for so long.

Numb

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Ginsuzu

*waves frantically*  Yes, I am still here – just!  But RL has been sapping my energy like you wouldn’t believe so yes, I am still tardy.  Ho hum!  SL hasn’t helped either.  I had some time on Saturday and set up some fantabulous (aint I humble?!) shots to show off this fabulous dress, a (relatively) recent release from Digit Darkes.  Sadly, the glow that I spent an age balancing to look just right would not show on my snapshots.  Thanks to Whimsy Winx and the other helpful folks in FE for their assistance as I tried to figure it out.  Seems to be a viewer issue, and given the choice of glow on pics vs disappearing prims, I decided to forget the glow!!  OK, there’s my little aargh moment out of the way – I guess I should talk about the frock now!!

New gig

Sooooooooo as well as the huge tearing rent that RL has left in my SL time this last couple of weeks, my blogging has been somewhat lethargic as I was working on my submission piece after being invited to contribute to Rez Magazine.  It’s a whole new style of writing for me, so took a lot of time and effort – be kind!

Anyways, if you’d like to read my profile of SLink creator Siddean Munro, head on over to the Rez blogpost.

Savoy

OK, so I’m not quite all the way back yet – RL is still keeping me away more than I’d like – but I had the urge to indulge myself in some pretty pics, and Kit Maitland’s wonderful Savoy outfit was calling out for some attention.
