Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style
Eve Kazan is one of my favorite Second Life bloggers, and has been for some time. In addition to outfits assembled both popular items and unknown finds, Eve manages to find some of the most interesting sims and builds as backdrops for her work. Whenever I'm stuck looking for the perfect location or finishing touch for a shot, Eve's blog Mademoiselle is my very first stop.
But her blog is also in French and unfortunately that keeps a lot of readers away, even though it's perfectly easy to find out what she's wearing or where she is thanks to notes labelled in English at the bottom of every post. Either way, I've decided to translate the text of one of her most recent posts, Potiron, so you can have a litle taste of what you're missing. Check it out:
Pumpkin
The cooking smelled good, a delicious sweet smell all across Zebre hill. It's nana preparing her favorite recipe, her pumpkin pie. The children's mouths watered as they returned from school.And her little Alchemy dogs ran excitedly. The Secret Store nana's What Next pumpkin pie was well known in the area, a little cinnamon, orange, crème fraiche, coarse sugar and of course some pumpkin too. What a treat!
