I've been a bad, bad blogger

Hi folks. Long time no see. Between family emergencies and those pesky holiday gatherings, I've been away for most of November and December. I didn't get to blog nearly as often as I wanted to, and I feel terrible about it.
Alas, it's a new year, and I plan to blog more often. A lot more often. If you're not sick of seeing my face already, you will be soon!

So let me show you what I've been wearing for... 2 weeks? I love it all so I haven't taken it off.

Sileny passed me her newest shape and I fell in love with it. Bettie is petite and curvy, and absolutely adorable. Though I've been tweaking my av's body for a year or so, I usually refuse to change my face. I've been walking around with hers for a while and I love it. She also goes fantastically with a number of skins and that's always a good thing.
And the eyes... Oh, the eyes. I went to L.Fauna to check out the skins and fell in love with these on the way. There's a ton of options in each pack (large pupil, small pupil, prims or no prims, and "soul prims" that illuminate you) and all of them are striking.
And last but certainly not least, the cheongsam has to be one of my favorite clothing items in SL. I was amazed by the beauty and superb construction of the Tender Blossom dresses from Musashi-Do, and when a blue version was offered up as an SL Daily Deal exclusive on December 24th, I snapped it up and haven't taken it off since.
There will be a lot of changes coming for me this year. Perhaps I should start by changing my clothes...

Nah... :)

A happy, healthy, and prosperous new year to all.

Secret Agent

Amaya was once a poor girl growing up in the slums of Kingston. Surrounded by violence and poverty she watched the tourists with envy and wished for the day she could get away. She fought for everything from the day she was born, only her beauty saved her from complete destruction. As she grew older she grew stronger and people began to take notice of her. Some important people. One day a knock on the door came and men in suits took her family away. "We will return them safely to you if you work for us. It is dangerous but you, we think, will survive." She had done many things she did not want to do in her time...this couldn't be that bad...could it?
