A buddy of mine, who is rather cute when in militant mode, recently attended the Vintage Fair and she was a bit disappointed at the lack of representation of a certain segment of Retro Pop Culture. I disagreed I said its there its just in how the user chooses to dress it up. I vowed to get [...]

October 11, 2011
I had an issue awhile back where someone who had been a total asshat to other creators in the community decided to coordinate their own event.

Lourdes SLife of Luxury: Sacrificial Curves
August 30, 2011
Everyone is all excited about mesh being released across the grid. Mesh clothing and accessories are popping up on the feeds.

Lourdes’ SLife of Luxury: Slushies and Carnivals

Lourdes’ SLife of Luxury: The Affairs of Dragons
July 26, 2011
On July 3, 1999 I purchased a book that was highly recommended titled A Game of Thrones. Over the past 11 years I’ve kept up with all the books.

Gidge proposed the idea of doing a “Casserole” for Kess. Where I’m from there is period before the funeral, usually after the wake, where friends and family get together. During this time there is the undertone of having lost a loved one, but its a time to eat, drink, dance and a laugh in remembrance of the [...]

Hemos perdido aun este crepúsculo. Nadie nos vio esta tarde con las manos unidas mientras la noche azul caía sobre el mundo. He visto desde mi ventana la fiesta del poniente en los cerros lejanos.

June 28, 2011

Lourdes’ SLife of Luxury: Crown Royal on Ice
May 31, 2011
