I was feeling a watermelon kind of feeling. I love the colours of a watermelon, they inspire summer. I only have to think of watermelon and I can already taste it’s yummyness. So, with watermelon on the mind I decided to set up a watermelon colours ‘inspired’ image. After all it is on of the things I hoard in Second Life but what do you think? Are you feeling those watermelon cravings yet? I am definitely feeling the holiday vibes.

So far I’ve been to two beaches, I’ve had a mocktail ( I want to resist screaming like an overly excitable person) I’ve been to a circus show, an aquarium, 4 different restaurants and each was a different type of cuisine. I have also been to a pool, been in a jacuzzi, almost gone into a sauna (I’m not brave enough) and I went to a farm and had honest to goodness icecream so large I am surprised I finished it.

Oh I almost forgot, I walked up a mountain! I’m exaggerating but god it sure felt like one. It was more like a hill/cliff. My feel and shins hurt so much the next day I can’t even tell you.

Holidays are the best I do however miss my cat. I miss seeing his darling little face and telling him off for being a little piggy. I still have two days left of the holiday before I get to go home. It’s quite strange really as much as I am having fun I spend the nights calculating how many days I have left and how many images I can get in comfortably now that I’ve been lazying around.

Now enough of that, here comes the did you know part of the blog, that part you all sit on the edge of your seat to wait for…

Did you know that the next round of Collabor88 is going to be a birthday round? If you didn’t then yay for me being the first to tell you.  The birthday rounds are my favourate there’s just that extra bit of dazzle and fanfare.  I get excited to see who the invited guests are and just what they have made for the round, I can’t wait to see the catalogue. If you don’t know where that will be click here for the link. It will be updated once the event is live on the 8th.

One of the regular designers that I hope will be there is Pixicat. Incidentally this dress I am wearing is from the last round of Collabor88. It’s it gorgeous. I fell in love with the colours and it suited the watermelon theme so well. It’s a very pretty wrap around dress and exactly the kind of thing I would pick from a store in real life. I am all about the girly flattering dresses. It’s entirely my real life aesthetic. Dresses, skirts, frills and femininity make this girl go weak at the knees.

It will now have moved to the mainstore but don’t let that stop you because there won’t be a queue to get in. Instant gratification. Then hop back, join the queue and see what might appear in the new round.

Who wants to be my shopping buddy?
