For those of you who don't listen to American Public Radio, Science Friday is a show about science (duh) that airs every Friday (double duh). It's also the reason I'm in Second Life. I had heard a few stories about SL (Woman loses her husband to virtual mistress!!) but never really been interested in it until Ira Flatow (who appears in-world as Ira Flatley), the host of Science Friday, started reporting about it and eventually set up Science Friday Island, where every Friday at 11:00 a.m. SLT they stream the show and take questions from avatars that they answer on the air. He was so into it that eventually I had to check it out.
The next designer in my inventory is Adam n Eve. One of the points of this blog was to help me downsize my inventory - if I don't want to blog about it, out it goes! These purple leather pants, pretty as they are, almost hit the trash. I loved them, but for some reason it took FOREVER to find shoes and a top to go with them. Part of the problem, of course, is my no-exposed-midriff rule. I had plenty of cute tanks and tees, but the pants are pretty low cut so eventually I ended up going with this white sweater. I was hoping I would get to sit in host Ira Flatley's chair, but sadly it's programmed just for him.
The sweater is from a shop that doesn't seem to be around any more called Little Town. I loved that place. Everything was so cheap - I think the sweater was like L$30. Officially, the pants are the Aubergine sculpted leather pants and they come on both layers so you can tuck them in boots if you want.

If for some reason the Lindens decided to decree that there could only be one shoe designer in all of SL (and God knows they could - I don't understand half their decisions) I would be totally fine with it as long as that designer could be Fallingwater Cellardoor. Shiny Things could easily keep me beautifully shod forever. These are the Mary Jane Mules in Pale and are currently priced at L$100 in the sale room. A total steal. 
Science Friday Island has this nice seating area where you can sit with others to enjoy the show in Fridays. There's also a patio area with some links and info about issues of the day. And you can get a free "Science Fridays" t-shirt. If it came on a jacket layer I'd be wearing it in all these pictures!
The skin in this picture is the Trixie skin from A Piece of Candy - I believe you can still get it free in the diamond hunt going on there. Hair is ETD's Starley II in auburn.
So drop by Science Friday island on Fridays at 11:00 for some educational entertainment!

Gowns! Gowns are the bane of my existence in Second Life. I love them, they're beautiful, but I never really go anywhere where I'd wear one. And, of course, so many of the great freebies designers put out are gowns. I can't bear not to grab them, but then I never wear them.
I've been hearing forever about the Second Life Botanical Gardens but had never visited it before. What a gorgeous sim! Really, it's totally worth checking out whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or just a quiet place to hang out by yourself. There are a lot of beautiful pavilions and gazebos (with my favorite thing - pose balls!). I couldn't resist this sexy loungy pose.
