Why the hell am I writing the umpteenth SL Fashion Blog, you ask...

Good question, here's an even better answer:

I've been on Second Life since almost 3 1/2 years...in all that time I've done nearly nothing useful, a little dabbling here and there, and mostly just did tons of shopping (much to the dismay of the HUBBY*) and played dress-up. Did a little bit of photography, a little bit of designing, little bit of building but mostly I worked on feeding that insatiable black hole that I call my inventory (when I feel more affectionate I just call it George).

It came to a point where I was afraid to open my inventory in fear of what might have come alive overnight and would jump at me the second I opened it (queue Halloween theme song and sound of a creaking door...). Fortunately I had good friends (here's looking at you Ash) who kept reminding me to clean it out every once in a while, and a HUBBY who said I wasn't allowed to go shopping anymore unless my inventory had less than X items (you never ask a girl how many items she has in her inventory, it's as delicate a topic as her weight). In that process I always discovered hidden treasures and long forgotten vintage outfits and I was amazingly happy to renew my aquaintance with them.

Then a few days ago, something happened to me that hasn't happened before...No, I didn't throw up in the surf only to have said surf rolling back over my naked feet, that is so 1996... No, I put together one of the most perfect ensembles in my SL history straight out of my inventory. I usually dress well, even if I say so myself, but this one was different, I just looked at my AV and thought "Yes this is it". All the accessories and hair and shoes just matched brilliantly. So I promptly made a notecard with pictures and references to the designers and sent it to each of them with a small 'Thank you for your amazing work' note. The feedback I got from said designers was so amazing and friendly (let alone flattering) that I decided to let everyone participate in my absolute fabulousness.

So, what can you expect in this Blog?

Obviously lots of fashion, humour, sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek, swearwords, saucy stories, ramblings, off-topic posts and most importantly, someone who doesn't take herself (or others for that matter) too seriously.

I hope you enjoy my ramblings as much as I do...

Yours truly

Ana

P.S.: That amazing outfit I talked about earlier? Yes, that perfect, amazing, super-duper, brilliant one? It will be blogged in my next post XD

* Everytime I am referring to my dearest husband of 2 years it has to happen in caps to give you an inkling of the feeling of impending doom that I usually feel when he gives me that LOOK after checking my credit card bill
