Tangled up in blue

“Don’t know how it all got started,
I don’t know what they’re doin’ with their lives.
But me, I’m still on the road
Headin’ for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.”

Interesting enough I had this old Bob Dylan song in my mind as soon as I saw that the new 52 Weeks of Color Challenge Color will be Blue. So instead of some other more obvious songs i choose that as a title.

It was not hard to find blue things in my inventory, but it was hard to decide which ones I want to use. So after testing and trying out different styles I have chosen this one. It looks comfy enough to fit today’s mood, did not want to go too fancy. Rather a “I’ll go and take a stroll.”

Maybe I should have dressed a little less revealing, with the cold weather outside my lips went all blue, see? lol

50′s and a Kitten in my hair

On Friday my computer’s graphic card had a little melt down and decided it’s time to go, i could not get back into my windows but into recovery mode. After I have been trying to convince it to go back to work i knew that does not help at all and i was so sad that i could log back in to finish the “Make him over hunt” with my best friend and to get the lovely Fifty linden Friday dress from artilleri.

On Saturday another good friend reminded me of my on board graphic chip (which i totally forgot about), while i have been chatting with him on recovery mode (that mode is not really satisfying but did work okay enough to chat). So trying if that works i got surprised and was happy that i did not have to spend the rest of the few days until i get another graphic card in recovery mode.

And thanks to the lovely and fabulous Isabeau Reinard and Antonia Marat i logged in on Saturday into SL, with my super slow but working on board grahpics, and found the dress in my inventory – Thank you girls you made me happy

And i don’t know why but i wanted to wear my Mrs.Mittens hair, so it was having a happy moment in the 50′s, wearing a kitten in my hair and showing her around. Isn’t it cute? It meows when being clicked and it’s cute eyes blink randomly.

Have you gat’cha Summer of Love fix?

Yesterday I have shown you a couple of items I got at the Gatcha Festival, and I promised you also to show more – so here I am.

But that is not all. Last night I also visited the “Summer of Love” Fair. I have to admit that I did not know what it is about and I was surprised. I have heard that there is a little hunt – quite a few sculpted question marks are standing around and when you touch/buy (depending on the question mark) you will not only get an item but also notecards about lots of mental disorders like eating disorders, Depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gender identity disorder, Anxiety and much more.

It is very informative and I am really impressed by all the information that has been collected to raise awareness for those issues that are all around us or in us, but rarely someone talks about them seriously because of shame, tabu or simply not knowing what it is. Being affected myself I was taking all the notecard with me to learn more and i’m still not done reading. I can only recommend to take the time.

But of course there is not only reading there is also … shopping – correct. So I got things during the hunt and I treated myself with some shopping as well and so I will show you more gatcha and Summer of Love Goodies

While I was looking through the stuff I got in the last days I got an idea. Something we call “Urlaub auf Balkonien” in Germany, roughly translated “Vacation on Balconia” (Balconia for balcony) I think it would staycation in English. And I was looking around in SL for a sim with some big city flair like I knew it from home, that has building permissions to set out my stuff haha – easy? Nope but I did it, this is Urban Ghetto -Slum City. And here we are, since I cannot go anywhere – my Vacation on Balconia…

Gatcha Bubblegum Skater

So, yesterday I was – like half of the grid I assume – at the Gatcha Festival. I thought I’d stay a couple of minutes, take a short peek and then hide again on my land. Well.. thought is the magic word.

Actually when I teleported in and saw that my good friend SySy was just tping in as well, i knew that the idea was doomed, and I was right. I think we have been close to two hours and spent tons of money for stuff we found cute and wanted and was silly enough to get and had TONS of fun.

I can honestly say that I never had so much fun while being surrounded by so many people. I got so much stuff I will show you, but not all at once, a little bit of what I got you will see in today’s post

I cannot explain why, but i had the urge to go pink – I never do that, I do not like pink personally but I wanted this time – must be a phase. So I grabbed my skateboard i got from one of the Gatcha Machines and turned into a Pink Bubblegum Skater

First I had some problems to stay on the board and almost fell…

But not long after I was surprised that i could do tricks – wohooo!

And just because this is another great make-up I’ll show you a closeup of this lovely face, glad i did not get hurt while skating or it might show some bruises now.
