Springtime at The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse

This weekend I took some time to do some sprucing up of the landscaping around The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse.  We’ve made the plot much more wooded, private, and serene.  Stop by and check out the tranquil little pond, with it’s little sitting area on the dock.  The bonfire area has been tidied up and redone as well, offering a great place to gather with friends or loved ones for an evening in the woods.  I’m still adding small little items here, and there, to make the area look more complete, but as usual it’s open to the public, so feel free to stop on in and grab a cup of coffee.

We have plans to get more events started back up at The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse in the near future, so be looking out for those as well!

The Massage Parlor

So before I do the credits there is something I’d like to point out about this image!  See the beautiful wine rack from Cheeky Pea? The rack is supposed to have this beautiful detailing on the drawers, and cute little handles, and my computer decided to be a jerk and not rez it in.  I encourage you to all check it out in person, because it’s LOVELY, and I didn’t want you to think that the wine rack didn’t have those pretty details!

Anyhow, I will leave the rest of my talking to the credits!

Happy Friday everyone!

No Bull

My Taurus inspired outfit is for this month’s Zodiac!  Lots of great items can be picked up at this month’s round, featuring a wide range of great designers.  My skirt is part of an awesome set from Elymode.  The skirt comes with a top that works with the Lolas Tangos, but since I don’t wear the Lolas very often I decided to pair the pretty skirt with a top from Baiastice instead.   If you do wear the Lolas Tangos often then this entire outfit is something you would love.

I’ll leave the rest of my talking to the credits today. Happy Shopping everyone. <3

Procrastination Meme

I decided I’d new another one of Miss Strawberry Singh’s meme’s.  Today it’s one she did last month. The procrastination meme! I’m doubtful many people actually READ what I put on my blog, but it is a change of pace for me doing something like this instead of my typical….today i’m wearing this, this, and this.

1. What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often?

January 31st, 2008.  Ironically my first avatar was born January 31st, 2006.  I made Harlow two years to the date after I killed off my first one due to boredom.  Luckily, I’ve stuck around on Harlow.  Can’t imagine having any other main avatar.

2. Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life?

It was a place called October Country.  It was this beautiful haunted, October themed sim.  It has a bonfire, and trails, a village, and a dock area.  It was gorgeous for 2008, and I made so many great friends there.

3. Where do you spend most of your SL time now?

Standing in the sky on my sim, or at The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse.  I’m pretty antisocial these days.  I really should fix that!

4. Who is your closest friend in Second Life? (only pick one)

Aside from meeting Ark, and us moving in together in RL (because he kinda steals 1st place in everything in my life!)…when it comes to close friendships… Remy Stringfellow.  He’s been my best friend going on three years now. One of the kindest, most loyal, funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.  I couldn’t ask for a better best friend.

5. What is the most favorite thing in your inventory? (only pick one)

This is an easy one for me.  The build for The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse.  Tya Fallingbridge custom created it for me, and it’s truly the most beautiful item in my inventory.  I’m so grateful for the time and effort she put into it, and so many people have had the opportunity to enjoy it for a long while now. I think it’ll always be my favorite inventory item.

6. The last thing you purchased in Second Life?

Cat food. Because SOMEBODY decided I needed some cats. *glares at Valena and Isla*

7. What color clothing does your avatar wear most often?

Neutrals. Almost always neutrals. When I’m not blogging, i’m wearing black, white, or tans typically.

8. Do you prefer to walk, run or fly?

Run! But only because my run is ridiculously goofy.

9. What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in SL?

I once went streaking naked across orientation island.  Not sure how crazy that is, but it was hilarious at the time.

10. Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife?

Scarlett Johansson. She’s stunning.
