Mens.Select Event

Hey there!  Fresh of the presses of the Sweaty Badger are the Man of the House Goggles! Created for the new store and for the Mens.Select Event, these mesh goggles with weathered wood texture and shading can be styled anyway you want. Even the ladies can pull them off!

Soupy's Showcase of Shoes!

Since I'm a shoe hoarder or "collector" by nature, I'm not sure why I don't have more shoes in my Second Life.  This is something I have decided to work on. Hey, a gal has to have a goal, right?  I traded it for my goal of learning to drive in a non-destructive way in SL.   Here's a few pairs of shoes I have picked up in the last couple of days.  I found some more but I have to do some burlesque later at Blue Moon's Cabaret (psst...show's at 2:30 every Saturday) and haven't more time to stand around taking photos of my av's feet...as much as I adore doing so.

 The Maja Clog from Loordes of London is this week's offering for le ladies in the second cycle of Goose and Gander Fridays.  Even though it's Saturday now, I'm pretty sure you can still get them.  Coleen Macarthur makes lovely and creative shoes that reflect her sharp wit and kindness.  She also enjoys eating lunch which is one of my favorite meals along with dinner and, on Saturdays, breakfast. I would pretty much eat these shoes if I could.

 Oh hey! What's this? More Loordes of London?!  Tss...we don't leave the men out at Goose and Gander Fridays!  In fact, it's a requirement not to! Loordes of London offers los hombres and those who enjoy being unisexy (such as myself) the Fulham Riding Boots in dark mauve.  I couldn't quite capture how the lace holes, for lack of a better term, glint when you walk. Believe me they do.  Not to be mistaken for the ghastly bling! No! They just glint like Cary Grant's smile.

Now and again, I cannot resist going to Grim Bros. for some fancy and dandy shoes that don't break the bank.  I'm usually there for about an hour but not for a spree.  I wish!  That would take a whole day!  There's so much detail to these, the Dahlia Heels Satin in bleu, but they are one of the simpler pairs available.  Sure, I want the Steampunk prosthetic with a matching spare shoe but maybe another day.  I could go on and on about Grim Bros. but I'll let you do some exploring.  I would eat these shoes, too but it might be the equivalent of when I was a kid and shoved some tiny clocks up my nose.  Just kidding! *cough*

 Well look at that...the boardwalk ate my favorite sandal ever!  Good job, photographer!  Um, yeah. Anyhoodle, these are not my favorite sandals because they were FREE on marketplace and come with prim toes, optional bangles and toe rings. No, sir! They are my favorite because they are so adorable and, as kismet would have it, match the rainbow swimsuit outfit from my previous post! Here it is on Marketplace!  The shoe listing...that is.  No, don't you eat my feet!  So gross but I can understand because they make your toes look like candy!

Alrighty...myself and my N key are out.  It's lunchtime dontcha' know?

Hang On Little Tomato...

Hey everyone!  I have some super awesome posts coming up with hunts, new fashion crushes and all that hoodoo.  However, I am in the middle of redoing my store as well and learning about Gimp! 

In the meantime... a recipe to try whilst you are awaiting the next posts!

The Infamous Epironi and Cheese

Ingredients

1 1/2 c	sharp cheddar cheese
1 c	mayonnaise
1 c	sour cream
1 can(s)	cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 lg	loaf of bread, crusty on the ouside, chewy on the inside
1 c	melted butter
1 pkg	macaroni, large shells

 

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Start the pasta boiling (do not rinse when done)

Set aside.

3.  In a large bowl, combine mayo, sour cream and soup.

4.  In a separate bowl, chunk up the bread into bite-sized pieces and toss with the melted butter. Set aside.

5.  Add hot pasta and sharp cheddar to the mayo mixture, stirring well. Spread into a greased casserole dish.

6. Top the macaroni and cheese with the buttered bread cubes.

7. Bake for about an hour or until the middle is bubbly. If the bread starts to get too golden before it's done baking, tent with foil.

8. Serve and enjoy! There will be plenty of leftovers, which is the best part! 

 

 

Soupy's [dirty.little.secret]

First off, I just want to let everyone know I am not freaking out about February 14th this year.  Instead, I'm going to celebrate and embrace Florence Henderson's birthday!  In fact, all month I will be eating chocolate and cutting out leetle hearts and drinking heavily in honor of Florence Henderson, coolest t.v. Mom evar! Of course, there's Mardi Gras, too!  Note: No boob flashing for beads will be tolerated in this blog...until the end of this sentence.

 So, the first thing one must do to celebrate Florence Henderson's birthday is don a fancy hat.  I would not say ridiculously fancy because sometimes...well, most times...fancy is ridiculous!  Which is what I love about it.  [dirty.little.secret] is celebrating by participating in a few hunts and having an in-store hunt as well!  Note my chappeau I'm wearing: it's called Valentine's Chappeau and it's available now! With flowers, balloons and yes, sparkling champagne for two, you'll be prepared for February 14th! Other items do not include my dirty truck (I sit in it alone!) but they do happen to include some 10L items such as the chappeau you see me wearing in my truck photo, a Valentine's Waist Cincher, Mardi Gras Waist Cincher, a swing and floral arrangements!  You must get these before March arrives because well, they'll either be sold for more than 10L or disappear altogether, only to exist in your shins as you kick yourself for not getting them.  Remember!  All of these items have everyday uses and can be added to any ensemble to make it more fancy!  Say it with me. FANCY. Or couture or whatev. You say couture; I say fancy.

 Oh hey! I broke into my friend Crystal's lovely home to give you a flash of [dirty.little.secret]'s hunt items.  See that horn I'm wearing? Well there's another part to it! This is the part with the dangly bit to it, though.  That's a heart on it!  You can get this as part of the Brutal Love Hunt. Oh, my scarf? Well. It's cozy enough to hold in the night breeze as you huddle outside of a 7-11 on February 14 checking the pay phones for magical Florence Henderson change!  To buy a burrito with.  It also is adorned with a lovely flower which I think smells fabulous.  It's a Be Loved Hunt gift!

On my way out of Crystal's house, I found all this "root beer" laying around and well, yes, I'm doing a backwards flip off her couch. Just before I crushed my head, though, I managed to snap this pic!  I'm sporting one of many Mardi Gras masks from [dirty.little.secret] and some awesome beads I didn't have to flash anyone for!  Score! As you can see, I have added a cape to the ensemble from Milk Motion (a former FLF offering) to make myself Souper Mardi Gras Chick! Again, I tell you, you can use all of these things year round if you're fancy enough.

So run, don't walk (or just teleport like I do) to [dirty.little.secret] and pick up your February items!

P to the S: The lovely person who owns the sim [dirty.little.secret] is on is a very giving person and has allowed Tash Porthos to have her store there at no charge.  Right now, proceeds from the store are being donated to the sim owner as they are having financial issues IRL. Be sure to tip the store and sim because it's a nice place and we should keep nice people around.  Contact Tash Porthos inworld if you have questions about helping the sim stay.  

Also check out my new Kit Kat Clock widget! It shows what time it is where I am! Fancy!

Florence Henderson would be so happy.

Boofing It Up!

When I think *Boof, which I often do, it's normally something silly and imaginative.

However, when Thena Claxton and Hanley Speiser devised the "Ready to Rumble" pose set, complete with wrestling ring and aluminum ladder, things got epic.  I heard Slim Jims being snapped in "Macho Man" Randy Savage's honor.  With seven poses included in the ring, all of which are available individually, you and your friends can have quite a rumble!

Thanks to Swan Kelberry who unintentionally ended up in the photos but was gracious enough to be patient with my slow as molasses photography.

Fun *Boof. blog!
