View allAll Photos Tagged Shopoholics
Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far. This is the weekend I want to put my gatchas up for sale on the Marketplace and being a shopoholic I have many, many, MANY things in my inventory to clear out. After I was done dancing at Muddy's and a private Halloween party, I returned to my home and invited a couple of my girl friends to come over, beginning to go through the mess of my inventory while gabbing on voice chat. That is when I found a lost treasure, a beautiful silk dress I had purchased ages ago and forgot about, I love this dress, it is so well made and the green silk coloring is perfect with my skin tone and hair. So setting the dress aside in my inventory I finished organizing some gatchas and had a couple of glasses of wine and decided to dress, do my makeup and take a few photos. I hope you enjoy and thank you for allowing me to share my photo with you. Have a wonderful weekend!
XOXO,
Hildda

[20:02] Stephan Frontenac had brought Libby over from the small dock near the Hound's Head and sitting on his porch he offers her some iced tea he had inside. Sitting down he asks "How are you?" not having said much on the short trip over.
[20:05] Libby Kayor slipping onto to the chair as taking the ice tea sips the chilled drink. Blue eyes glancing arouund." I am well.." pausing for an moment before saying," I hired an bodyguard.."
[20:07] Stephan Frontenac raises an eyebrow at that, looking at you and then asks "What are you paying him with? And why did he say yes?"
[20:10] Libby Kayor smiles with an soft laugh," oh dear Papa did you forget I am an Frontenac. Why I used my money of course..." shrugs slim shoulder." not sure why he said yes.."
[20:11] Stephan Frontenac takes his glass, sipping some of the sweetenned herbal mixture and says with an exale that shows his depth of thought "You really should figure out why and where his loyalties lie. I would hate to see you tortured because he got some pussy from a cowgirl in the park."
[20:15] Libby Kayor delicate face frowns slightly at that," yes well I am not stupid...." sipping own tea before turning head to glance up toward the old lighthouse." you know mother would hate this place. I think it has an certain charm. Reminds me of the french countryside.."
[20:17] Stephan Frontenac nods to your words, all of them and answers "Your mother has been in worse, much worse. You would be surprised, behind that shopoholic is the of the strongest survivors I've known." He smiles kindly "Maybe not always the most knowledgable, but she always got what she wanted in the end."
[20:22] Libby Kayor head tilts when looking at her Papa," you still love her..." not really asking more stating. Libby still trying to come to terms with what you had told her. " why did you marry Mother? From what you told me seems just so strange"
[20:25] Stephan Frontenac unbuttons his shirt and then pulls a bottle of wine out from under the table. Dumping the rest of his ice tea on the ground he fills his glass with the wine and says as he offers you some "I'm not sure. Your mother was unlike anyone I had ever met. She was ... the sluttiest girl I've ever known." He smiles and says "The Dolls, the city prostitutes, were actually getting ready to beat her up because they felt she was taking away their business."
[20:30] Libby Kayor dumps out her own tea as hold glass ot for some of the wine. Blinking as you basicly call her mother an slut," so that is what draw you to her? I know she is beatiful even as not to smart.." an sip of the wine is taken before asking," so you saved her from an beating?"
[20:33] Stephan Frontenac rubs his chin, then chuckles at Lubby's words as he had given Beth plenty of beatings himself. He shakes his head "No, I only learned about that once we were married. No, I fell in love with your mother because she was both smart and stupid, strong and weak, easy to manipulate and more often then not manipulated me to get what she wanted. Life with her was never boring in the first year or two we together. She did not approve of my activities, but your mother is a practical woman and accepted me for who I was."

An' what about them buildin's over there, Hooman?
Hmm... what about the buildings, Flynn?
Are any of 'em shops?
No. Just old houses. And a church.
You sure 'bout that?
Yup! No shops here.
Pfft. Boring then. I wanna go to the shops!
Erm, why?
Well, I wanna go SHOPPING, of course, Hooman! Duh!
Flynn. We cannot go shopping for more dog treats every single day!
Oh, says who?
Me?! I say we can't go shopping every day!
Why? Is there a rule hoomans can't go shopping for dog treats every day, or summat?
A rule...? No. But I'm still not going to go -
Ah-ah! If's there's no rule, then there's no reason why we can't go shopping again! Come along Hooman, no dilly-dallying, I'll show you where where to go!!
Last week, I wrote about Flynn coming shopping & unexpectedly picking out his own special treats. He hasn't forgotten the experience... Flynn dragged me straight into the same shop the other day, trotted purposefully down the aisles until he found all the dog treats & sat politely, expectant. Amused, we got him low protein chews, which would be safe for his kidney, although perhaps we shouldn't have... think we might create a shopoholic monster, if we're not careful! Flynn's too smart by half!
I'll never forget an incident, years ago. Went out with Flynn & a friend. We briefly mentioned going to Greggs (similar to Subway). I had no clue Flynn was listening - or that he knew what "Greggs" is (we only ever went there about twice a year!). Oh, border collies are ALWAYS listening & they know. 15 minutes later, Flynn dragged me *directly* to Greggs.... in fact, he almost crashed into the door in his excitement... but horrors! It'd shut early! We shrugged, accepted a lack of snacks. Flynn had other ideas. He would not walk to the woods & insisted we follow him instead. He marched up town, crossed the street & stood, triumphant, outside the only other shop which he knew sold similar food to Greggs! We were so entertained & impressed by Flynn's determination & problem solving, we got him a sausage roll!! That happened when Flynn wasn't civilised enough to go in shops but now he's discovered he can do his own shopping, I'm worried I'll find myself herded about even more!
Happy New Year to all our Flickr friends!

Hello Everyone and happy Wednesday, it is the middle of the week and only two more till the weekend, Yay! I still have a load of things to do and some shopping for gifts, then I am done! Finally as promised in my 1000 Followers photo, Mary finally finished editing the interview she did with me and as promised here it is, some questions and answers were removed, because in hindsight I was not comfortable sharing that part of me, I forgot I was doing an interview and was just talking to my friends I have known for years. Hopefully I left in enough to not be a disappointment. I am so thankful for all of you and for your kind comments and encouraging words and I do wish all of you an incredible and lovely Holiday season. :)
xoxo,
Hillda
Mary: You know I am going to get you to confess where you have hidden the bodies and the bank jewels!
Hildda: Laughs, only after enough glasses of wine and then maybe.
Mary: LOL! Ok here we go, question one!
Q: How long have you been in Second Life and what brought you in?
Hildda: Boring! Laughs, I thought you were going to start with “Why do I dress like a pony girl every weekend!”
Mary: LOL, that is for later on!
Hildda: Oh! Laughs, ok then. I came into Second Life in 2013, after a nasty real life breakup, a friend at my office told me about this online place called Second Life and that it would be a good distraction and be able to meet people safely. So I created an account that weekend and came in-world and been am citizen ever since. My first few weeks were difficult to say the least, more from not knowing how to use the viewer and go places, or what even a place was. Also was having issues with very strange people, however, in time I was meeting people that were smart and sweet, the discovery of shopping made this crazy place enjoyable and worthwhile to stay, as a result the addiction to Second Life began to grow. :)
Q: What is about Second Life you love the most?
Hildda: My Second Life family and friends, who have become real life family and friends to me and help me bury the bodies when I need help! When I can text my SL sister as much as my RL sister, or go on Skype IM with my bubsie that says something about how powerful this world really is, I never had that swipping profiles and pics on my phone to find a date.
Q: What is your favorite things to do in Second Life?
Hildda: You know me, I am actually a very boring, I just love being around people, though over the years, I have come to love going to live music performances, my favorite being Maximillion Kleene, He has a wonderful voice and he always brings a smile to my face. I also go to Art Galleries and Museums and I do what Bubsie’s taught me, is sim jumping to discover what is new, or something I have never seen before.. then of course there is the photography and modeling and yes I am a shopoholic.
Q: Have you ever done the Role Play scenes in Second Life?
Hildda: I tried it, but I am not very good at role playing, pretending to be someone else in a fantasy setting was interesting but just was not for me. I do enjoy going to places that have things to do as yourself, a murder mystery sim, or a family community town, things like that, but playing grendella the wicked queen of Hysteria in an elven land, really is not for me.
Mary: Then what about the Pony Girl weekends, LOL!
Hildda: Shut up you cow, you know I do not do those things! Laughs.
Q: You do not have to answer this, but have you ever had a relationship in Second Life and are you single now?
Hildda: Yes I had one, it was nice but in the end it was just more of a friendship than anything else. Yes I am single in SL and RL, but not looking, not opposed. You better not be trying to set me up!
Q: No promises, because I did meet this Dubai Prince at a club the other day and he is into red heads and says he is loaded…
Hildda: NOOOO!!!!! Laughs!
Q: LOL, ok, we will put a thumb tack in that for later, moving on, what made you start doing fashion photos in Second Life?
Hildda: I started taking photos when I first entered into Second Life, doing quick snapshots of me and friends, not knowing what I was doing or anything about SL photography. What really grabbed my attention was I started seeing the advertisement photos in the shops around Second life, especially at the time in the Gizza store, who would put up these amazing high fashion posters for her clothes and I would just stare at them reminded of the photos that are in my Vogue and Bazaar magazines. Then it struck me, I can try to do that, so started to learn all I could about Second Life photography and annoyed my brother to start teaching me how to use PhotoShop and Darktable. When I eventually took a photo and went, wow, that is really beautiful, I was hooked.
Q: Why did you start sharing your photos on Flickr?
Hildda: Because all of you people would not stop nagging me to death about it, laughs! You know me I am actually very shy and actually was afraid to share, you all giving that encouragement helped me overcome that fear and I started early this uploading and I am surprised at the response I have received from others and am just thankful.
Q: How do you describe your fashion style?
Hildda: Cosmopolitan Eclectic would be the best description I believe, I love wearing pieces that I really enjoy and are of high quality, mixing different designers up together to create something that is me. I am a city girl and I suppose I bring that sense of fashion into my Second Life appearance.
Q: What is your favorite look to strut around in Second Life?
Hildda: You make me sound like a pretentious cat, laughs. I suppose if I had to say what I wear most often is either a nice dress, or a pair of leather trousers, maybe jeans and a sweater. I change my outfits so often but those are my go too looks, that I will wear several times a week.
Q: Who is your favorite Second Life designer?
Hildda: That is SOOOO hard to answer, there are many that are just amazing, plus there are always new designers that keep setting the bar for quality and creativity higher and higher. If I had to choose though, I have several designers I adore, gasping with excitement, bouncing in my seat when I see a new release. I would have to say I have a five way tie between Valentina E., Osmia, Dead Dollz, Ricelli, Tetra and United Colors! Oh there are just so many incredible designers, it is impossible to select even a few, you are making me feel like I am at the Oscars trying to thank everyone that worked on the film, afraid of missing just one, laughs!
Q: Ok, I will ask an easy question for you, Who is your favorite real life designer?
Hildda: I am a Valentino girl! Though I never limit myself to just one designer, a true woman will have select pieces in her closet that best speaks of her and how she feels that day, or how she wants to feel that day, she expresses herself to others by her outfit, “I am feeling like this today’.
Q: Shoes and boots and who is your favorite?
Hildda: I adore wearing tall boots with either a dress, or over leggings. Again there are way to many designers to be able to choose only one favorite, I am an absolute fan of Reign, Utopia and Eudora3d.
Q: One word to ask, Hair?
Hildda: Ughs, I have way too many hairs in my closet nd way too many exceptional hair stores around. Doux, Monso, Exile and Truth in Red of course! The beauty of Second Life is I can change from long hair to short hair on a whim, I cannot do that in second life unless I wear wigs all the time.
Q: I know you have your two places in Second Life, who are your favorite non fashion designers, or creators?
Hildda; OH! That is impossible to answer, there are so many, MANY amazing artists that create objects that make my mouth gape open and enable one to create a beautiful home, or create a great photo scene. I will say Dust Bunny, Nutmeg, Fancy Decor, Botanical, Apple Fall, Half Deer, I pretty much have most of their stores in my inventory. Laughs! I do enjoy shopping at so many other places as well, I wish I could give them all a Like!
Q: A SL and RL fashion question, what three pieces should be in every woman’s closet?
Hildda: Good question, for real life, every woman is going to have her favorite go to pair of jeans, shoes and her favorite bag. I would say that pieces that can used for anytime and almost any occasion is ideal. So, a white silk blouse, or sweater, do not let the so called fashion law of no white after labor day fool you, you can where white anytime you like! Then a nice quality knee length real leather skirt, in black, a leather skirt can transform from the office to a night on the town with just a simple change of accessories, I am not against the pleather skirts and leggings I have a few myself, but have found that the more you wear them, the more the pleather stretches and the piece does not fit right after awhile, where leather always has bounced back for me. So worth the investment. :) Then I would say a nice elegant calve length coat, simple with clean lines, again a coat that can move from the office to evening with no effort. The coat does not have to be fancy or expensive, but a nice black, or taupe expresses elegance.
Q: Going back to Second Life modeling and photography, what advice would you give to those who would wish to start doing modeling and photography?
Hildda: Well first of all I do not believe I am anywhere close to being qualified to give advice on this as I am still learning myself everyday. What I can say that may help those who are starting is, take photos you want to see and enjoy viewing, not what you think others will want to see. Unless, you are a photographer for an SL magazine, or doing advertising for a store, the picture you are doing is for you and if others like what you did that gives you a very deep warm feeling of appreciation down deep in yourself, where as if one took a photo for others and they do not like it, then the opposite feeling of rejection happens and it makes one feel terrible on the inside. So always be yourself and do the photo for yourself and then share with others, because we should always share and give.
Second, Also learn PhotoShop, my brother helped me get started with it, he is into computers and built for me what I needed, so instead of my laptop, I am using this huge refrigerator of a computer in my living room, laughs. I also eventually took a class in PhotoShop to learn more on layering and masking and all that stuff. The software is not expensive through the Adobe cloud and is well worth the investment in my opinion.
Third, never be afraid of making a mistake, making mistakes is a good thing, when you learn from them, I know that goes against what I learned in school, we were always punished for making mistakes, but I have found I learn more from trying and failing rather than always succeeding and never growing. Yes, I have taken photos that were absolutely awful and deleted them they were that bad, laughs, but I learned and knew how to not do something, or something for another time.
and then I would say, never be afraid to push your boundaries and try new things even when they are a bit outside your comfort level, that is the only way to grow and have fun, else you will become bored.
Q: On Flickr, do you have any favorite artists?
Hildda: Why the questions that will get me into trouble, you are such a bitch Mary! Laughs. There are so many and what is amazing is that each have their own style, their own voice and expression, I never dare and it would be wrong to compare this model and artist with that one over there and so on. There are a few that stand out in my mind as breathtakingly incredible and I would love to mention them, but then I think it would be unfair to those who are amazing in their own rights, like me I am still learning and may never reach the level of creativity and skill that some of these have in their photos. However that does not matter at all, we do what we do out of a love for Second Life and for the creativity. Even if someone posts a picture of a blank wall with a single red stripe down the center, if that work touches them and came from their heart, then it is beautiful in my mind. :)
I am just humbled and grateful that there are those who visit and enjoy my little corner of Flickr that I am happy to share with.
Q: So Hildda to wrap up this little Q&A for your fans, I have one final question...what is your age?
Hildda: Smacks her and takes away her wine!
Q: In all seriousness, anything for the inspiring photographer, or model before we end.
Hildda: Always believe in yourself and be grateful for everything, never be afraid to take risks and never be afraid of failing, you just brush yourself off and keep doing what you love. There is never anything that is perfect in modeling, or photography, no grand rule book, you are expressing yourself and you are special and unique, so if wearing a tattered sweater and decade old comfy jeans makes you feel good and you want to take a photo, then do so and let the world take care of itself! :)
