A case of the Mondays

Bleh. Just. Bleh. I so don't like Mondays. The house is always a disaster from the weekend. The hubby goes back to work and I'm left with the mess and the kids, and to top it off today, I think I'm getting sick.

So I went shopping this morning. I love when ETD releases new stuff. My first day in SL, Haedon took me to ETD and showed me the amazing world of virtual shopping, and I think I probably tried on every single style she had. Twice. I fell in love with ETD and it became my "I'm bored, gonna go shopping" spot. I've literally spent hours and hours in the old ETD/Nyte'N'Day store. Mostly looking because I didn't have L to spend. It's probably why I finally tried making hair on my own, I just didn't have the L to buy one of everything ETD had.

Anyway, I love ETD's hair. Always have, always will. Elikapeka is my SL hero. I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to tell her that. I really admire her, and I wish that there were more people in SL with her integrity.

So this weekend while the grid was down, I read that she'd released some new styles. Yay! Then promptly got too busy once the grid came back and forgot. In my blehness this morning, I returned to my "I'm bored, gonna go shopping" ways and headed to the new shop. I'm really loving her Couture Collection! I'm a big hater of the stupid flicker that happens with transparent textures. I really hate working with them, because it just looks...weird. Hair shouldn't flicker. I tried on the Updo, and loved it. Something I've always loved about ETD's designs are that they're "me," but prettier. Softer. The Updo was no exception. Love it! So I bought it in the browns. Somehow, and I have no idea how, but somehow she's managed to keep the flickering to a minimum. This is definitely one of my ETD favorites.

One of my favorite things about hair in SL is that you could line up 5 hair creators, tell them all to make a ponytail, and you'd end up with 5 completely different styles. Each one of us has our own "feel." I can spot an ETD at 96m. Gurl6 I usually recognize because I just can't manage that funky flair she has. I guess I'm not a funky person, no matter how much I might want to be funky.

Speaking of funky. Haedon told me yesterday that my "I hate boys and I'm pissy at everything, and there's this purple crap on my face" look just didn't work for me. I didn't think it was
that bad. Granted when she told me, I was bald and in a pair of rejected leather pants a friend of ours had made, and our "Boys LIE" tank and my Beckenbauer Revolver boots in Ox Blood Red. (Okay, so that totally would have made a better picture.) I can't carry off the "Bad Girl" look for very long it seems. I'm not only non-funky, but too goody-two-shoes and prissy to be bad. ;)

I finished a new style last night, Meadowsweet, and started 2 more. They're still in progress and if I can master this baseball cap, I'll have them out this week. So keep an eye out.

I'm gonna go make more coffee, search for some cold medicine and get to work. And maybe, maybe, maybe get all the current styles out in the new colors today. ~o)
