This week marks the 3rd anniversary of my entry into this virtual world. I was so busy, the day passed before I realised, so I had a sort of remembrance of the past three years a little belatedly.
I arrived in world when the maximum avatars peaked at 13,000 on the best days, when crashing was a very regular event, when I thought graphics were restricted to about 5 colours because I had such a crappy graphics card, before voice, before the great influx of European people, long before the arrival of people from the Asian countries, and when the maximum frame rate I achieved fluctuated between 2 and 4. I look back and wonder what it was that drove me to keep coming back, as it was actually quite difficult with the computer I had at the time. I’m quite sure I was convinced that I had discovered a great thing, having been a chat junkie for years, I saw this as the next evolutionary step that I needed to take.

And finally, a thank you to all the people I have met during the past 3 years. It is you who brought me back, again and again. Through friendships, disagreements, debates, discussions, creations, artistry, exhuberance and joy, I would not have missed it for the world!

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.

After cruising through the Ibizarre Sale, I wandered around the sim, mostly window shopping. That is, until a store I had not previously heard of caught my eye. These garments are all from Bublee Bing – the textures are quite detailed and luxuriously finished. All garments are extremely well fitting too. Oh, and there’s an almost-free gift too!
This top is the 1 L gift
And this is what caught my eye
The skirt is a 3 colour pack. The shirt is with undershirt as well
This skirt is a single colour option, with belt. Shirt can be long or bikini top
I *had* to get this, it is so springy!
