All I Have To Do Is Dream

Alicia Chenaux

Back when I was a little baby blogger, we usually received review copies from designers who specifically reached out to us because they read our blogs and liked our work. Now admittedly, there were a LOT less of us back in 2007-2009. It was easier for designers to see who was out there and decide if they liked us enough to want to see if we wouldn’t mind blogging them. Sometimes that’s how we even first heard of a store. They didn’t expect us to have already blogged them 20 times, they just liked what we did. I know it’s different now. But the feeling of a designer reaching out? It was awesome!

I got to have that feeling today when the owner of Opeth reached out to me to ask if I would consider blogging their new Lana hair that will be out at Hair Fair on the 1st. Well, sure! And it came at a great time because the new Cosmos dress by Neve that is out at Uber right now? Perfect match!

I Like Your Blood On My Teeth Just A Little Too Much

Alicia Chenaux

I’m a girl on the internet. And as such, I get guys sliding into my DMs on occasion. Most of the time it’s okay and I enjoy the conversation a lot. Other times, they try too hard and it’s kind of gross to me. (I’m a demi. Chatting me up about sex immediately doesn’t get anyone anywhere.) Once in a great while, it just makes me angry. What makes someone think they can just speak to a literal stranger in a way that is very obviously for their benefit and not one ounce of consideration for what I might want? Gives me the ick. Then I have to be angry and mean and slash them with my vicious vicious words.

But hey. Try talking to me anyway. Let’s see which way it goes!

I Just Gotta Breathe In, Breathe Out

Alicia Chenaux

I have to admit, I’m not really much of a morning person. I never really have been, but I did fake it for a while. Now? It’s 50/50 on if you’re going to get a “slightly quiet, less cheerful” me if you talk to me right when I wake up, or if you’re going to get “Oh dear god, who let this demon arise from her slumber” me. 🤣

Coffee usually helps. I still wouldn’t advise talking to me for about an hour after I wake up, though. Just for safety.

I Wanna Feel The Rush

Alicia Chenaux

There’s something about summer. It makes me feel like being wild and wear kind of sexy clothing. Now I’m not a particularly sexy person in general. But the summer makes me feel like I could be. At least for a little bit.

Anthology has opened up and you absolutely need to go!

I Feel A Sin Comin’ On

Alicia Chenaux

I’m a Texas girl. I think everyone knows that by now. So as a Texas girl, I am required by birth to love boots. I can’t help it, it’s simply in my blood. When I was younger, I used to have a pair of blue ropers. (Ropers are wider in the toe and have a shorter leg part as compared to a traditional cowboy boot.) Oh I loved my blue boots. They were kind of a dark slate blue. I’d pair them up with jeans and a cute tank top or t-shirt and hit up the country bars with friends. I was so wild in those boots. I had other boots. Brown, black, lace up, heeled. But those blue boots. Those were my “I’m gonna kiss boys and be a menace” boots.

I don’t really wear boots in my offline life anymore, and I certainly don’t go to country bars. But in SL, I appreciate gorgeous boots. And it’s 50/50 on the menace part.

The Strongest Part Of Me

Alicia Chenaux

Today is my dad’s birthday. He would have been 86. It’s the 3rd one without him. I wish I had gotten to spend his last one with him, but it was 2020, and we all know what a complete mess that year was. For the last 2 birthdays, I’ve drank a Coke (his beverage of choice) and watched an episode of an old western. Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, he watched those all the time. My mom said he could find an episode of any of those shows any day, any time. I have a Coke. I just… Well, I hope he understands, but I probably will not watch an episode of Rawhide this year. 😂 (I watched Gunsmoke last year, and Bonanza the year before.) But maybe I can find an old western movie on one of the streaming services. I used to buy my dad DVDs for his birthday of old western movies, or war movies. My mom has them now. She uses them for doorstops. 🤣

I miss my dad. But it’s not the constant ache it was before. I’d say time heals all wounds, but mostly time makes it more tolerable.

Now I’m Stronger Than Yesterday

Alicia Chenaux

I really like the store Madame Noir in SL. If you’ve never been, you really should go. They have some of the coolest clothes, including outfits that sparkle! (I bought a sparkle dress thinking maybe one day I’ll go to a club.) The store is often in weekend sales, too, so you can try some of their fabulous clothes inexpensively. My catsuit today is from that store. But I do have ONE problem with the store. Well, 2, if you count that they don’t make clothes for Lara X Petite right now, but a lot of stores don’t, so I won’t hold that against them. No, my big problem with Madame Noir? Their HUD. More specifically, the fact that the HUD actually SCREAMS REALLY LOUDLY at you when you put it on. Like, a horror movie scream!

I didn’t notice it the first time I got something from there. I don’t always wear my headset when I’m at the desk. But the second time? Oh my gosh. It scared me so much! I didn’t know where the scream was coming from and it just was a lot!

I don’t need a fancy HUD with screams and bells and animated anything. In fact, I’m still kind of old school and just want to throw everything on the ground to open it. 😂 But at least I know, and now you know, that when it comes to Madame Noir, take your headphones off before the scream. Unless you like that kind of thing, of course.

Now It's Nothing But My Way

Impossible To Ignore

Alicia Chenaux

If you asked me what are two things that make me happy, I’d probably say books and cats. (Music, food, and gifts also work.) I think a lot about what makes me happy these days. It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and as someone who is highly anxious and quite depressed (that’s not a lie. It’s diagnosed by a professional.) I am actively trying to change that about myself. I hate the saying “Happiness is a choice.” Mental health is not a choice. But I will say that you can try to the best of your current ability to choose things that make life a little better. It’s not easy. It never will be. Sometimes you can’t choose, and that’s okay, too. But when you can, choose the things you love. For me, it’ll always be cats and books.

And tater tots.

I Make The Rules Up As I Go

Alicia Chenaux

I think of myself as being pretty boring most of the time. I think that surprises some people, given how cheerful and chatty I am when I’m streaming or even sometimes just on social media. But one on one? I tend to be more quiet. And that’s not a terribly bad thing, I don’t think. It means I’m comfortable enough to not feel the need to be entertaining all of the time. I don’t think a lot of people realize what a gift that is, to be someone who makes a high anxiety person feel comfortable enough to just drop the mask and chill.

Of course, then sometimes I bust out with the crazy. You never know what you’re going to get with me.
