Dear Diary:
Last week, I, along with most of my friends in my second world, took a trip to Hair Fair. While we were having a blast trying on all the demos, I looked across at my friend Kiki and gasped, "Where did you get that hair? I HAVE to know!!". The look instantly took me back to my early "anti-establishment" days in my real world, and I knew I had to buy that hair.
This was exactly how I looked. My hair was shaved and bleached blonde with black streaks. It was a bit more spiky but close enough. The tats were not as evident; the piercings were not so few but this look was me for sure. It brought back thoughts of those years of rebellion. It made me laugh when I pictured myself as I used to be. Who would have thought?
Thanks for the memories.
Good Night for now.

Dear Diary:
No one knows I have a second life.
No one knows who I am in my second world.
No one knows who I am on this blog.
Oh yes. I have secrets. But why? Do you know?
I think the majority of my friends or family could not understand why I'm in this world. I'm sure it would be difficult for them to comprehend how I could have a lovely home, an interesting career and a great variety of friends that I truly cherish, and all belong in a virtual world. That idea is a hard concept for some of the older members in my family...and maybe some of the younger ones too!
My friends in this second world really are important to me but I haven't told any of them who I am in real life. I've given them a name but it's only partially right. I've given them a location of where I live but that's only half true. I haven't shared very much of my personal life. My real identity is still unknown.
The worst secret is that I'm writing this blog, something that I love accomplishing and no one in my first world or my second world knows that I'm doing this. I like what I'm writing and proud of the things I produce. But I'm not sharing it with anyone, in any world.
Sometimes it baffles me why I keep these secrets. Sometimes I want to blurt out everything. Sometimes I would like to share but...
I don't.
Good Night for now.

I discovered a new store to me the other day and was very excited at some of the things I saw. The store is called Vitrimi.
I bought this dress thinking it would be perfect for an afternoon garden tea. It comes in 5 colours - white, red or beige with black trim and black or navy with white trim. I chose the navy since I had a fascinator that I was dying to wear. I knew it would be perfect with a navy dress.
Vitrimi offers a lovely selection of dresses. Some are quite sexy while others offer a lot of cover. The colours and patterns are abundant. The casual section has different types of pants and a variety of tops to mix and match. I made a quick return visit yesterday and saw that Vitrimi is now offering clutch purses and a small selection of shoes compatible with Slink feet. On the whole, I was impressed with what the store is offering.
The store has a second floor but no inventory is available there yet.
Right now the group list is relatively small so there is no fee for joining. Even though you have to pay $1L for the group gifts, you receive very generous fatpacks of the item. The newest gift is an outfit with 4 dfferent patterned skater girl skirts and a pop top in black or white. The other group gifts are still offered in the store.
This is a very nice place to shop. It's easy to see the merchandise and the items are displayed very well. Fly on over and take a peek at Vitrimi.
Good Night for now.

It was a beautiful weekend in both my worlds so I decided to take a quick run to Summerfest 14. I had been early on but the crowds were so big that I had a hard time getting around. This time it was perfect!
I picked up this bikini from Nylon Outfitters that came in so many colours, it was hard to choose. The price was right so I picked up a couple of them. This one went well with my mask and flippers. Now, out to the beach!
The swimming was great once the water calmed down.
Only a week left to visit Summerfest for some terrific buys.
Good Night for now.

Canada ranks as the second largest country in the world. Canada has the longest coastline in the world at 243,792 km. And Canadian Joe Shuster co-created Superman for DC Comics. These were three facts about Canada that I didn't know.
July 1st marks Canada's 147th birthday. For this occasion, Historica Canada put out a quiz of 15 questions that every Canadian should be able to answer. The survey covered everything from politics to geography with some social aspects thrown in. I got 10 correct.
About 92% of the people surveyed said Canadians are polite (Isn't that a standard joke about us?); 86% agreed there is definitely a "Canadian identity" (Of course, eh?); and 89% are proud of their heritage (Agree to that!). However, 44% of the respondents could not name 2017 as Canada's 150th anniversary and 11% could not identify the correct opening lines of the national anthem, "O Canada" (I DID get that right!) To see the results, check here.
Have a wonderful July 1st.
Good Night for now.
