Undead and a Little Bit Twee

 Lludmila as the Cabbage Fairy.
After a happy evening of ballet dancing at Grizzy's with DJ Kero, Lludmila went searching for some ballet shoes, but found some other things instead.  And when I say "she went searching for" I don't mean shopping.  Not having won any trivia recently and the depredations from Relay For Life have left few Linden dollars in the pixel wallet.  Lludmila wanted free ballet shoes.  The best she found in the free line were system shoes with prim ribbons at Pas De Deux, where she also got this free Jade Butterfly outfit she prefers to call "The Cabbage Fairy."   There were also 13 lucky boards going at it, set to five minutes.  You're bound to win something in very little time.

Lludmila in her Alice Blue Gown
A little later she ran across a new shop (to her), Tikisma that was having its own mini-hunt for this Alice gown.  It comes with some black and white striped socks (to match the fingerless gloves?) and black high heels, but if you want to you can wear some TESLA black mary janes instead.  The "Drink Me" hearts are easy to find, but hard to keep track of.  Most of them are numbered and in folders, but a few are in boxes that appear in your Objects folder.  I went crazy until I realized I had found all ten boxes.  This dress is very sweet (and might not be as long on a normal sized avatar - remember, Lludmila is only 4'8"), if a bit alpha-y.  

Side Note: Blogger has improved a bit recently.  Illustrations are being sized to fit the template of the blog (although the upload confused me at first because it works differently), you can have more than one
alignment
in the same blog (not being able to have left and center alignment in the same blog used to run me right round the twist), they can provide stats for each of your blogs (I have four on Blogger at this writing), and there's a true preview in a separate window so you can see what your post will really look like.  I don't know how long this will last.  I expect that as soon as we get used to having such nice features and change our minds about fully migrating to Wordpress or, say, Vox, Blogger will try to charge us for the upgrade.  How much u wanna bet?

The Perils of Amphibiaphilia

One of the first things you must learn about finding your Prince Charming ...

... Is that you shouldn't be holding him in your hand when you make that all-important transformative kiss. Here Lludmila has been nearly squashed by her handsome prince.

Lludmila tenderly gathers her prince in her arms and takes him off somewhere to recover ...

... which he plainly does very quickly. And he likes what he sees.

"Mmmmrrrgggglllmmmmm!" exclaims little Lludmila (which, translated from Zombish, means "But we come from different worlds! You're a prince and I ... I'm decomposing! It would never work. Your parents would object. Society just isn't ready."

The prince convinces her that they can beat the odds, make it work, make beautiful music together ... blah blah blah ...

And then, just like a man, after he's gotten what he wanted, he scarpers leaving sad little Lludmila to lament, "Nnnnngggggllllmmmmfff. Bbbbllllddddfffff!"


Which, translated from Zombish, means, "I'll kill the [Zomb uncertain]! But at least I have this fabulous dress from Dany French Touch."

Note: Both outfits are the group gift from Dany French Touch. While Lludmila receives her fabulous creations from DFT through the group, Cal [and many thanks to Cal for being so patient during this photoshoot while I dug through my vast inventory and at one point pushed Lludmila out of the skybox, letting her fall 350 meters and didn't realize it for quite a while because I was still scrolling through the inventory - Yer a peach, Cal!] had to wait two hours for his letter to crop up in the new lucky chair. He should have joined the DFT group when it was still free. Now it's 150L - although you make that up with the first set of outfits that arrives. DFT is very generous also with their dollarbies. If Cal has any requests for Dany, it's to put more regular seating around because his typist got very tired watching him stand there all that time!
