Moving Day

To escape the stress, the pollution, the crowded streets and the traffic, we decided to move to Granny Ashwell's countryside house. I will miss the boba teas in Chinatown, unlimited wi-fi everywhere I go, the intoxicating scent of Italian food every time I walk by Little Italy and the blinding lights of Times Square, but now, it's time to say goodbye. 😢

Noah is also visiting Granny and offered to help me with my boxes. I think he doesn't mind I let him carry the heavy ones, right? RIGHT? 🥴

Lifting boxes is so boring, I decided to entertain myself with this ~video~ of drunk Noah dancing in my coffee table as a farewell to the Penthouse. See you again once I get some wi-fi!

The Messy Artist

Hey, guys!

Since last December, I have been struggling to find inspiration to take photos I truly enjoy within Second Life. Which has led me to spend less time online and focus on new activities. I have been reading a lot of webtoons (I recommend "A Good Day To Be a Job", "Devil Number 4" and, my favorite, "Cursed Princess Club"), watching K-dramas (I just finished "Oh My Venus" and I loved it!) and trying to fix my bedtime, haha. 

I have also got back to playing The Sims to explore their new pack "Discover University". As a way to help me gather some inspiration for my photos, I used The Sims to recreated Grace and her family. I gave her two younger sisters: Valerie and Clarissa. I opted for the surname "Ashwell", inspired by Rachel Ashwell, a very talented author and designer from England (I'm currently reading "The Praire").

About this photo — inspired by Grace's sister, Valerie. 

Valerie is 24-years-old artist who earned her degree in Fine Art from the University of Britechester last week! Her passions include her family, french cinema, painting and analog photography.

After receiving a call from her younger sister, Grace is finally visiting Valerie's new atelier. Valerie was hoping that Grace would come to help her organize the new space. But instead, Grace decides to try a new hobby, using Merlot, her doggo, as her model, she is painting a masterpiece (not really).

Grace is wearing a dungaree by BTTB — purchased last Black Friday and never used before —  and her new sneakers from Versov.
