The Bettencourts




Mattie and I have been busy for weeks with our new home at The Grove. Finding the perfect house, decorating, working with the landscapers, and having really the best time. We have completely neglected the blog and our favorite past time of shopping!

We're in love with MESH at the moment. I've been fighting to stay on Phoenix but with all the wonderful creations in Mesh, I have been slowly moving to Firestorm. Today marks my first full day in the viewer. I usually log in, take a picture and leave. But, today was the first time I felt really comfy without urge to reach out for my paci..errr Phoenix. I do miss the interface, but there are some amazing tutorials out there to make it user-friendly to us "die-hard" Phoenix lovers. Do check them out, Mattie showed me and it was a huge help to making the transition easier.

Sorry for the tangent it's been a while and I wanted to share, but back to FASHION! With all the new MESH items, clothing, shoes, and even cars...we couldn't resist a post incorporating our current faves.

*Our Fav*
The new mesh knit coat from Mr. Poet is like cozy perfection while still remaining chic. Both Matt and I are wearing it - a dream fit on us both! It's nice not to have to edit prims.

*Vi's Fav*
Nardya Rousselot released her first mesh creation, the Zoe Platform as an OGlam Shopping exclusive. I love the classic oxford style with the chunky platform. Everyday I keep looking for that upload to RL button.

*Matt's Fav*
The Mesh BMW! I should make him write this part because he's been GAGA over it for a week now but I have to say it's brilliant. The top rolls down, the hood raises, and the textures are highly detailed. Mesh is a wonderful platform for automobiles.

We hope you find your own fun with MESH! I know soon we will be seeing more furniture, houses, decorations, and more! As Mattie, says..."It's the future." So jump on board the Mesh train!

-------------------------------
Crisis in the Horn of Africa:
Drought in the Horn of Africa, coupled with conflict in Somalia, has affected over 13 million people.
Thousands of children, women and men are dieing everyday as a result of starvation.
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) is at the forefront of dealing with this crisis and is mounting food operations in five countries in the region (Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya and Uganda).
It is our goal to raise awareness and money for this incredible crisis that has not had the kind of attention other human tragedies have garnered to date.
All in-world donations will be made to a special avatar, "HornOfAfricaCrisis Resident," who’s sole purpose is to receive in-world donations and turn them over to the WFP. The WFP has a Paypal account as does this Avatar. All SL transactions and all Paypal transactions will be published on a blog for all to view.
