Second Mirage is bringing out a whole new collection or rich, luxurious jewelry. So much that I can’t even show it all to you. But I did want to highlight a few of my favorite pieces.

This piece is called Striking and indeed it is. I think the beading and the shape of this necklace are very unique and I love the simplicity. Makes it feel elegant even without the glitz and glitter. This is probably my favorite piece of the evening.

Don’t be confused though, I’m a simple gal but the glitz, glitter and oooooh! the shiny! never fail to draw my attention. And for that reason, these piece called Divine shown here in black diamond draws me like a fly. This, to me is classic Liz Taylor and embodies the spirit of the collection. Plus I really like the texture on the black diamond gems.

While we’re discussing pure glitz and glamour, I’d be remiss if I did not show you the Glittering set in ruby. Look at the way the piece cascades down the neck here. I think the overall shape of the necklace is very unique and classy. Plus I love that the earrings don’t overwhelm the set. It’s attention-grabbing for sure, but not quite as bold.


And finally, I’d like to point out Luxuriant in ruby. Of the glitter I’m showing you here, this is the quietest variety. But I don’t think that means it is quiet jewelry by any means. It is still a statement and it’s still gorgeous but the glitz factor here is taken down just a tiny notch. This is a shorter necklace but I really like the shape of the diamond accents here.

All in all, I can see this jewelry will be coming to formal events with me often. I can hardly wait to show off the pieces which have made it ito my inventory. Thanks again to the entire Second Mirage team and to Britneyj Crimson for the fabulous show.

Don’t forget to visit Second Mirage to see these pieces in person and pick some up for yourself.

1. Many of you may know I have a tattoo, but did you all know I got it while I was in Chicago for SLCC? (Some of you knew that too. So just don’t answer.) I did. The tattoo is of heart shaped cherries on my lower abdomen by my right hip. Now you know.
2. I never learned how to ride a bike. Every time I tell people this, they become determined to teach me. No thanks. I have survived 30 years on this planet without knowing how, and I think I’m going to be just fine now.
3. As a little girl, I loved He Man. I had a crazy little girl crush on him. I used to run around my back yard and call myself She Woman, but only in my head. I was crestfallen when they brought out She Ra. I’d been using the wrong name all those years! Plus, she stole my cartoon man.
4. I am a horrible procrastinator. I will put off anything and everything until the very last second possible, without fail.
5. I played the violin for 12 years, starting in elementary school and ending when I graduated from college. This may come as a shock, but I was actually good. I still have the violin under my bed, but I haven’t touched it since I left college. I’m guessing the result if I did now would be painful at best.
6. I used to have a very typical and very destructive need to chase after bad boys. Long hair, sports cars, biker jackets, and bad grades would attract me in a heart beat. It was probably mildly amusing to others as I was (and still am) a giant geek. That never stopped me from dating them though. Thankfully I outgrew it and now find a wicked sense of humor to be the sexiest thing a man can have.
7. I majored in Spanish in college with the intent to become a high school teacher. I got as far as actually doing my student teaching when I realized I am a terrible no good very bad teacher. I dropped out before even completing the certification program and never looked back. Now I work in IT and sit in a cubicle. It doesn’t make me happy, but I’m much better at it, at least.
8. I have never in my life rented an apartment on my own. I have rented apartments with other people. I have owned a house on my own. But never rented by myself. I am now doing things completely backwards as I have sold my house and am moving into my very first apartment that is all mine. It feels like a giant step forwards and backwards all at once.

Ok, that’s my 8 things. I kind of ran out of juice halfway through, so don’t laugh at what you got. (Or do laugh, just don’t be mean to me ok?)

Also, while I have you attention, please note that the above mentioned move is very much messing with my available time. I may not be in world or writing here very much until sometime next year. I do my best, but priorities get me every time. So fear not, I’m fine. Just insanely and prohibitively busy.

After it was taken, my instinct was to change back, but I decided to wander the grid like this for the evening just for fun. It felt foreign, but I have to say it was a little fun. I wonder if everyone feels the need to push the limits this way sometimes. Do you ever go out in a look completely different from your normal? Let me know.

I would like you all to know, once and for all, that I am NOT in the 12 Avatars contest. In light of this announcement, I would ask that you please NOT vote for me. No incentives or otherwise, just sayin’.

Thanks.

Hi, I’m Madison. I am avatar girl in my virtual world just trying to have some fun and do what interests me. And this is my space to share that with you. I like to spend time with my friends, go to concerts, see new and exciting things, and especially to shop. In fact, shopping may be my favorite activity. (Don’t hold that against me!)

This will be my place to tell you all of the exciting (and possibly some not so exciting) thing I find and do in Second Life. I’ll throw in pictures, and fashion reviews, and anything else that strikes my fancy, quite frankly. Just because I can. And if there’s something you’d really like to see here, give me a shout and ask. I might even think it’s a good idea too.

So here’s hoping I see you around here again!
