How do you deal with criticism?
In either life I am way too sensitive. I’m working on it though, or trying to. I can get really emotional if I am doing my best for someone and no matter what they cannot be pleased because really I’m a people-pleaser. If it’s presented in a constructive way though I tend to deal with it better but if it’s given to me by someone I really admire then it’s a bit harder.

What’s the most infuriating thing other SL residents do? I think the people that go out of their way to hurt people that don’t deserve it. The Secrets on Sunday are for the most part stupid, viscous and unnecessary. I kinda wish they would just not publish them anymore because people don’t play nice and I mean sure I look at them but if they were not there anymore people would get over it/forget about it I think. By keeping them there it enables a platform for hate, and sad but try that is what the majority use the secrets for.

Which SL resident would you most like to have lunch with and why? I don’t know – There are people that I admire in SL but I’d have lunch with just about anyone that is awesome.

Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Not gonna name names but there are a few people that are on my hot list for this that I cannot stand. The list is getting smaller though and I’m just trying to let that all go though. The older I get the more that I see that I don’t have to get along with everyone and they don’t have to like me either.

What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? I would say the Secrets on Sunday. I think it had potential to be a creative/positive platform and do some good but people can’t have nice things.

What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about? Sometimes I’d like to have a store but I really don’t know what I’d make.

What’s the oddest term of endearment you’ve ever used or that someone’s used for you? Lol maybe Honeybuns, but I dug it. Oh, I call my daughter Ryleigh – Princess Starfish, tator-tot Ry Ry Boo-Boo. I also call my other daughter Syleee a Bratinista.

Have you ever fallen in love with another SL resident? Yeah.

Describe a time/event in your slife that you’re nostalgic for. I miss Marleen Vaughan. It was so much fun when she was around and I first started blogging with her and all the good times that we had. She’s the best.

What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you? I’d be tickled if someone made something and named it after me, which my Ryleigh already has and you can see it here: http://petitebowtiquesl.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/romp-around-50l-friday-628/

Some of my favorite blogs and bloggers..

Yesterday, Gogo asked What are your top 10 favorite SL blogs? Honestly I read a lot of blogs but of course we all have our own personal preferences.

This is my list in no particular order and I’ll give a reason for each:

Marleen Vaughan of Coffeesmoke: I love this girl, she is the reason that I even started blogging in SL. She invited me to be a part of Coffeesmoke and I was for almost two years before branching off to my own blog. Her posts are funny, real and non contrived. Her writing is top notch and I’ve laughed out loud many times. Also she started another blog called the Concerned Bloggers Association which is worth a look. She also has a shop called Vaughan’s House of Curiosities which is visionary, quirky and fun.

Caelan Hancroft of Simply Stylish Cae inspires me with her adorable face, curvy body and and well thought out photography. Her outfit combinations are amazing.

Grazia Horwitz of GraziaSL.Com I’ve followed this blog for a long time. Grazia to me is an icon in the SL Fashion community. She makes brilliant and sometimes daring style choices but she is flawless. Everything she picks goes perfectly together.

Strawberry Singh of StrawberrySingh.com Berry is awesome sauce. Just look at her blog and you can see why. She is a goddess, untouchable seemingly at first but actually refreshingly down to earth with a very sweet personality. I love her tutorials and windlights.

Luna Jubilee of Luna Jubilee.com This is another blog that I’ve followed for a long time. She has the amazing windlights for download too, blogger boot camp tutorials, and she started the very successful 52 weeks of color blogger challenge. Luna is a sweet, funny and wonderful person the times I’ve been lucky enough to talk with her or hang out in world and her blog is a reflection of that.

Gogolita of Juicybomb.com I love Gogo’s blog because she writes with integrity and she styles herself in some of the most adorable finds from around SL that I probably would not have been aware of without her. I appreciate her blog because she is honest, colorful and juicy like a fresh peach!

It’s only fashion is a collaboration blog of some of the best bloggers in Second life. My favorite being the ever wise and stylish Cajsa Lilliehook mixed with the fun and down to earth mother earth goddessness of Gidge Uriza.. there are many great bloggers on the It’s only fashion blog but I am partial to the both of them and over all it makes for a diverse blog with many tutorials and solid fashion advice.

Annan Adored of Interstyle Fashion. I don’t know her at all aside from finding her on flickr one day but she could be my baby’s momma.. maybe? Seriously her images are gorgeous and I love the way she puts together a photo. Her windlight settings available for download are great too.

Free*Style: I could not make a list like this without including probably the first second life blog that I’ve ever read. Free*Style is my favorite “freebie” blog and mostly like the first that I can remember reading. This blog helped me through my much more noobish days and this blog to me is top quality and worth a read for anyone from the basic new SL user to even the most advanced as there is always something new to learn.

Vaki Zenovka of Insert Funny name here: She maybe blogs once or twice a month now but when she does its well worth it. Her images are stunning, evocative and eloquent. Her writing to go along with her images is equally as amazing. A very impressive blog, indeed.

Other blogs that I love: Not Quite Pink by Magenta Devinna whom I simply adore, Bouncer Criss of Pixel Phasion 4 Men has a wonderful Mens blog, Lysie Aristocrat of Barbie Does Sl and Lauren Minuet of Flirting with Fashion are all blogs that I love to read as well.

Now this list has variations here and there but don’t get me wrong I appreciate all of the awesome bloggers in SL but these are ones that I’ve chosen because I’ve either followed them for a long time or because I feel there are currently my favorites. So who are yours?

The Festival of Sin is coming to town…

I am a very lucky blogger indeed. I managed to sneak in to preview the Festival of Sin which is starting on February 18th and going on until March 3rd. I can’t begin to tell you all of the exciting things I saw but wanted to instead to do a post to feature some of the AMAZING ITEMS!

Marleen Vaughan of Vaughans House of Curiosities made this Sloth room complete with air fresheners for the ceiling for those not so fresh day’s when you have dead bodies just laying around or you don’t feel like bathing. She also has this box thing here with a bucket of Vomit or Feces – I’m not sure so you don’t have to get up and leave your room. It has two poses and the Sloth room is amazingly put together and is one of my favorite items so far.

I am wearing panties that come from Cynful (Lust). Heels that are from Ingenue (Wrath), the necklace is from Carolines (Sloth), The hair is from Amacci. The beautiful skin is from Aura.. I love the slutty lipstick smudged mouth.. and the chains that come with the pose are from Captive Poses. Everything in the photos is a bit of the Festival except for the Hospital set from Fashionably Dead at this months Collabor88.

The Festival of Sin looks to be kick ass and I will have a bunch more posts about the event. I am super excited to get my sin on.

In Love with a Strict Machine

Marls hates it when I praise her.. but guess how many fucks I give? None.

The newest piece at Vaughans House of Curiosities is brilliant. It in fact inspired my look today. The Automatic viewing lens which is fixed over my eye can be yours for the mere price of 76L!! I’m not really into the steampunk stuff but I love the way the gears move around in it and it is just too cool! If you are looking at my hair with the cute little beret, she made that as well and both can be found at her store here. You can also browse the marketplace here.

The rest of what I am wearing is the Giereh which is currently 75L at the Tropicalia Bazaar. A lace body suit from The Whore Mansion. (yes, that is the actual name of the store) and these completely wonderful thigh high mesh boots from Slink. The Earring, Well I meant to have both on but I sorta look like a pirate now so I’ll keep it.. its from MOOD – it’s the Witches Wonder earring currently in the Witch Hunt for 10L.

Happy Shopping!

Hat of Curiosities..

If you are a content creator, craftionista, eccentric fashionista or otherwise this hat found only at Vaughans House of Curiosities would sit lovely on top of your head while you plot your next creation, your enemies demise or what to wear to topple over the models at the next fashionista runway show. They wont ever see this coming!

This hat is fetchingly creative and you will feel exciting just by wearing it. For the very daring pair with these goggles also found at Vaughans House of Curiosities.. why? All the better to be fabulous with darlings! Hehe, I’m feeling a bit hyped up on the coffee this morning.. but the point is seriously go check out the shop already!

Vaughans House of Curiosities!

My bestest friend on the entire grid of SL has opened a brand new shop. Vaughan’s House of Curiosities plans to be one of the most random collection of items on the grid with the slogan “Curiosity never killed any cats. I am really looking forward to seeing what else she comes up with and there are many exciting things in the works for this store.

It’s so old school that she’s put her new shop on her first land that she got back in 2005, gosh do you remember first land?

In her own words: “It’s been about 2 years since I have created any content for Second Life. I am super duper excited about my new shop. I’ve named it “VAUGHAN’S house of curiosities” and I am planning on building the most random collection of items on the grid.”

If you like random, fun and whimsical at amazing low prices.. come give this a look, it is well worth your time.
