Let It Go

Hey all! I'm back from my RL vacation and mini blogging vacation. I hope you've missed me. I decided to change my priorities in SL a little and just have fun so blogging took a back burner for awhile but I'm back. You see, I was getting caught up in the game and taking things too seriously. I trusted people over the past year whom I now know I shouldn't have trusted and was hurt numerous times by people I considered to be my best friends inworld. I've made the choice to become selfish and only do things for myself in the future. It's sad that I have to change who I am in order to mentally survive in a virtual world but sometimes I guess change is for the good so here is to hoping. When I first joined SL, I was looking for a place to escape the seriousness of my RL but over the past year, SL has brought me more drama and grief than RL ever brings me. I don't want negativity online and yes, I know that I am responsible for some of it but it's not who I am or who I ever want to be. I feel sorry for those who let it consume them and eat away at their hearts and hope someday they can get to this very place where I am at. Since it's the start of a new year, I'm using this time to let it go and forget about the past. I hope you all use this time to do something that makes you happy and brightens up your life as well.

Now onto blogging stuff! Once again, I've decided to enter The Arcade photo contest. I love gachas and the thrill of attaining that precious rare you must have plus the warm feeling in my heart when I surprise my friends with a little gift that I've picked up from them so of course, The Arcade is my favorite SL event. I love how whimsical the designers get with their creations each round and always wind up picking up more than I need. The last few rounds I've realized that I could use my stuff to make pictures and enter the contest dreaming of winning so that's what I did. When Dead Dollz released this breathtakingly beautiful Frozen inspired dress at their store, I decided I wanted to do a snow fairy look with all my Arcade goodies so voila this is the picture.

Finally, my location today is at the Louisiana SIM and I'd like to thank Zaidee Frost for allowing me to come rez all my stuffs and terrorize her land. Zaidee designed this beautiful winter SIM for a winter charity ball that went off this weekend raising 23K in lindens for an AIDS foundation. The SIM is fabulous and rez is on so you can rez fun little props to take pictures if you promise to clean up after yourself. You should definitely check it out as it's open until January 5th and while you're there, be sure to donate a little money to the cause at one of the many donation boxes that decorate the SIM.

Wintery Friends

Hey all! Long time no see! I've been a little busy with work and super tired the last few nights so I haven't had the chance to blog but I wanted to show off these adorable friend themed poses that Nani has out for Winter Trend. This event features lots of wintery cuteness and runs till December 13th so be sure to check it out. I absolutely fell in love with these chipmunk poses called Snuggly. They come with two attachable chipmunks just perfect for a wintery friend look.

And if you're into human friends more, Nani also has out a cute couples pose that I think works perfectly with friend pics as well called Snug. I grabbed one of my wives to pose pretty with me to show it off. Say hi to Jordan everyone! Yes, she's wife #3 but I love her just as much as the others. :D

Finally, if you haven't been to The Main Event yet, there is still a little bit of time to check it out. It's open till the 14th and you can find this cozy sweater from Sysy's there. Well, I think I'm gonna go tackle Jordan now and smush some snow in her pretty face. Catch you later all! <3

A Look At the Main Event

Hey all! I know that everyone is preoccupied with The Arcade right now but if you can't get into it or are waiting for it to die down a little, why don't you check out The Main Event? Featuring 25 of Second Life's best stores, this event focuses on bringing traffic into the mainstores. The designers made two items that go together with one for sale at their mainstore and the other at the Main Event location. This event runs till December 14th so there is plenty of time to go but once you see these goodies I've got to show off to you, you will want to head on over ASAP!

My favorite item from this event has got to be these Christmas trees from Sanctuaire. These trees are very unique because they come natural and then you can choose the decorations that go on them. It's like SL's version of decorating a tree. There is even a HUD that allows you to control the whether you want your tree lights blinking or not. This tree comes in two versions, white and color, so be sure to pick out which one you love best.

The Geeky Meme

Yep! It's meme time again and this time, I'm doing Berry's Geeky Meme. I absolutely loved everything at Geeks N Nerds so I figured while I was showing off some of the goodies you can pick up there, I'd let you know just how geeky I really am. This embossed top from Ison is wonderful. It comes with a hud so you can mix and match out the shirttails and I absolutely love these bowtie heels from fri.day. Although I'm wearing basic black, they come in a variety of colors and also feature a hud to change the bow color. Finally, my awesome pose props are from Nani poses. I love books so much that I just had to show them off. I mean who doesn't like reading right? If you haven't been to Geeks N Nerds, there is still plenty of time so hurry hurry hurry over!

1. What do you consider yourself to be? Geek? Nerd? Dork? None of the above? All of the above? I believe I'm all of the above. I love video games, technology, gaining knowledge, and I'm socially awkward. I don't feel that I'm strongly any of the three because I know there are people out there who fit these categories better than me but I do feel I possess qualities from all of them.
2. What was the first computer you ever owned? I really don't remember! I know it was a desktop though and I bought it when I was around 18. I hate desktops now though and will forever own a laptop.
3. When and how did you first get on the internet? With Comcast at the same time that I got my computer. 
4. Which geek fandom do you subscribe to? I'm very big on trivia. I love any kind of trivia game I can play and am a vast source of useless facts. I'm also heavily into SL obviously and I used to love playing Magic the Gathering but no one where I live currently plays.
5. Star Trek or Star Wars? Neither. I'm not a fan. Sorry!
6. How Geeky Am I? I got a 72%. I don't think this quiz measures geekdom accurately though.

Gamer Geek

Hey all! Sorry I wanted to get this post out earlier but my laptop has been giving me issues the last few days and anytime I went to take a pic on SL, I crashed. Luckily today, I was able to snap a few shots to show off some gamer girl inspired goodies you can pick up at the Geeks N Nerds Fair which opened today and runs till Dec. 8th. Featuring some of SL's best stores, this event focuses on all items geeky or nerdy so grab the LM below to head on over to this event.

I have to say that I'm really a fan of all the decor this event has and Second Spaces' stuff just made me squeal in delight. I used to be a big time gamer chick but after I had my daughter, I gave it up. You know mom duties and such! From the cables to the controllers, I was reminded of my early Nintendo days. If you're a sucker for anything game inspired, you'll definitely want to hit up Second Spaces' spot at this event before checking out all the rest of the adorable geek inspired decor goodies this event has to offer.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Hey all! Just a quick LOTD post to show off this adorable outfit I've been wearing the last few days. League has out these gorgeous boots at Shoetopia and all of the proceeds of the purple color go to Soles4Souls so I just had to rock them. Plus they went perfectly with the newest ColdLogic release so who could resist!

Also, check out my pretty face. She's the newest release from Al Vulo and called Ewa. Ewa comes in 5 tones and includes all appliers as well as lots of lipgloss options. I'm showing off the fairy tone with a peach gloss but you need to head over to Al Vulo and check these out for yourself to see all the different options.

Introspection Meme

Hey all! I'm using this meme post first to show off these earthy twig accessories that are available at The Fantasy Collective by ieQED. This hairpiece and necklace come in both a berry and non berry version perfect for any woodland pictures you'd need to take and if you join the TFC group, you can nab them now because a perk of being a member of this group is early access to this event. 

And now you can enjoy my answers to Berry's Introspection Meme!

1. Regardless of your current number, how old do you actually feel? I feel around my age. My life is basically where I want it to be. I'm almost 33 so I feel like I'm finally enjoying my career but that I'm still young enough to do anything that I dream of doing.
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying. I hate going through life wondering what if so I try and if I fail, then at least I know I tried.
3. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I would spend more time enjoying the little things life offers.
4. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Hmm, I think doing the right thing is doing things right so I don't have to choose a response to this....or maybe I just did. :D
5. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? A worried genius. I love learning and the knowledge you gain by doing so. I already worry about a lot of things and am able to cope well so I'm not "worried" about it.
6. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Yes. I'm undoubtedly loyal to my friends and will support and defend them in their times of need. I am not perfect but I believe I'm an awesome friend to have.
7. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? Well, it was more like 7 years ago and yes, it still does matter to me. Things weren't handled properly and they do impact my life as well as the life of someone I love very dearly.
8. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? I feel the most passionate when I'm working. As a registered nurse, you learn to appreciate the little things in life when you see the things your patients struggle to do daily. I thank God often that I'm fortunate to have my health.
9. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? No, but I'd probably take off for a year and travel a little.
10. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? I'd spend the day with my family and friends doing something fun.
11. What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? Being alive is just going through life doing everyday things. Truly living is seeking out those moments that thrill and exhilarate you.
12. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? I guess it's because mistakes are discouraging and can hurt us or others. I am not usually afraid of making a mistake because I know that everyone makes them and that we do learn from them. 
13. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? Be more social. I'm very insecure in RL and because of it, I've shut myself off from a lot of people. If I didn't feel I was being judged, I'd probably get out there more and interact with others.
14. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Life live to the fullest and never let anyone make you feel second rate.

Dance Into Dreams Way

Hi readers! Today I've got a look at this gorgeous formal cocktail dress that is available at the Dreams Way Charity event from Dead Dollz. This charity raises money to support Autism, Asperger's, ADD/ADHD, and stroke survivors. Dead Dollz has generously decided to give 100% of the sale proceeds for this exclusive item to this fantastic organization as well as 50% of the sale proceeds of the other 3 dresses she has out for this event which runs till November 30th.

Pictures of You ~ A Shoetopia Sneak Peek

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel

Lyrics from Pictures of You by The Cure

Shoetopia starts tomorrow and although there are gazillions of adorable shoes to be had, I decided to show off some gacha goodies you can snag at this event along with these nicely textured flats from Ingenue. From poses to decor to Slink addon nails, the gacha prizes are wonderful and those of you who know me best know that I am a bit of a gachaholic so I had to play mostly all of these machines. Some of the machines have even generously donated a portion of their earnings to Shoetopia's chosen charity, Soles4Souls. Right now, this fabulous charity is aiding those affected by the tycoon in the Phillipines so be sure to stop by the gachas and try your luck after you've exhausted yourself trying on all the pretty shoes. Also, be sure to hit Ingenue first because you can't go wrong with a basic flat!

Disco Balls, Stripper Poles

She was a carefree soul
in an uptight world
Just trying to fit in.
Looking for love
in all the right places
that's how her story begins

Her mama didn't want her,
Her daddy didn't know her,
so she ran away
Looking for love
in all the wrong places
as she does to this day

Men her daddy's age
Drug are all the rage
Disco Balls, Stripper Poles,
Needles and Sin

Woodland Frost

Hey all! This post is all about accessories! First, I've got a sneak peek at these fun fantasy based accessories from Distorted Dreams that will be available at the first round of The Fantasy Collective. My autumn inspired twig hairpiece and my simple wood necklace will be up for sale at this event. The Fantasy Collective starts on November 20th and features a great lineup of fantasy based stores so be sure to save up your lindens.

The rest of my look is a combination of awesomeness from Collabor88 as well as some more new accessories by Sweet Leonard. I love this delicate acorn necklace and bag so much that I just had to add them to my look of the day. Sweet Leonard is always cranking out the cuteness so if you've never been to this store, be sure to check them out.

Oh and I gotta give special love to this laced up boots by Beetlebones. They are my absolute favorite item from this round of Collabor88 and come in five different colors for 88L each. I can't believe what a steal they were. I bought two and am probably going to pick up more. You should too!

Avatar Look Alikes Challenge

Those of you on Plurk today probably did this meme of Berry's and had a laugh over your results. I did it with a couple of my SL pics and my RL pic. I was happy with the RL one telling me I looked like Tiffani Thiessan and Katie Holmes even though I don't think I look like either of them but the first SL picture I used told me my avatar resembled a bunch of ugly men so I pouted for a bit.

I saw this pose by Kuro in Motion with a customizeable sign and wanted to take a picture for someone special in my life so after I was done doing so, I decided to try again with my new picture. I'm happier with these choices for my SL avatar's celebrity look alike even if I think it's just dependent on the hair.

If you haven't checked to see what celebrity your avatar resembles, you can do so here. It's a lot of fun even if the results are not what you think. I mean Boris Yeltsin really? :D

I Don't Care For Your Fairytale

An Enchantment preview.

Snow White is doing dishes again cause what else can you do
With seven itty bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, says will you meet me at midnight.

The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows.

I don't care for your fairytale
You're so worried 'bout the maiden,
Though you know she's only waiting on the next best thing

 

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, man made up a story
Said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls 'round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

I don't care for your fairytale
You're so worried bout the maiden,
Though you know she's used to waiting spent her whole life being graded on the
Sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
The story needs some mending and a better happy ending
'Cause I don't want the next best thing 

No no I don't want the next best thing.

It's Witchcraft!

Halloween is quickly approaching and for those who practice Wicca, it's the sacred holiday of Samhain. During this time, many wiccans hold rituals to celebrate the lives of those who lived and to try and communicate with those who have left this world since they believe that the line between the spirit world and ours is weakest then.

Since Samhain is coming up, Uncertain Smile has just released some wonderful poses along with gorgeous props to celebrate this holiday. These pose props are available at the Spooky Times event along with many other Halloween themed goodies. As you can see they are wonderfully done and feature many little extras so be sure to grab them and put your own spell on someone.

Lean On Me

Today I'm going to take the time to do one of Berry's memes from almost two weeks ago where I get to blog about one of my closest SL friends. I know I'm super late with this meme but my one of my closest friends on SL lives in Australia so due to time zone issues and me always crashing, it's very hard to get him to pose pretty for me. Lucky for me, I had off today so I got to hang out with him for a longer period of time than usual so without futher ado, let me introduce my boy bestie, Xplozive.

I met Xplozive a year or so ago at an exhibitionism and voyeur sim. (Yes, Kissy was up to no good!) I noticed him instantly because his pixels looked good compared to most men that visit those types of sims but he looked to be in conversation with this fish face chick with the IPR going down so I left him be. Obviously, I caught his eye too because it wasn't very long before he ditched the other chick and IM'd me. We instantly clicked over a mutual love of trolling and fashion and spent the next two hours just talking about random stuff.

As our friendship progressed, I found that he's one of the few men on SL that actually seem to care about what I have to say without trying to get into my pixel panties. He's also always been honest with me and sweet to me. Combine that with the ability to make me laugh and the fact that he always is up for trouble, and we quickly became close friends. I can honestly say that besides Kimbra, he is the person I talk to the most on SL and hands down, one of my favorite people online. It's funny how SL can allow you to build friendships from all over the world. If it weren't for SL, I'd have never met this amazing man so I'm grateful we crossed paths in this virtual world. He's someone I've leaned on greatly these past few months and I'm very lucky to have met him that night. Thanks for being a wonderful friend Xp!

P.S. He's SL single ladies so IM me for the details. :D

Came Back Haunted

The throat is deep and the mouth is wide
Saw some things on the other side
Made me promise to never tell
But you know me, I can't help myself
Now I've got something you have to see
They put something inside of me
The smile is red and its eyes are black
I don't think I'll be coming back
I don't believe it
I had to see it
I came back haunted
I came back haunted

I said goodbye but I
I had to try
I came back haunted
C-c-c-came back haunted
Everywhere now reminding me
I am not who I used to be
I'm afraid this has just begun
Consequences for what I've done, yeah
I don't believe it
I had to see it
I came back, I came back haunted
C-c-c-came back haunted

At Your Service

Halloween is almost here and you know what that means. Yep, sexy costumes. Blacklace hasn't let me down either with the naughty little numbers they've released for the upcoming holiday like this sensual maid costume. It comes complete with everything I'm wearing besides the heels and even includes the feather duster so you can use it to clean up those *ahem* sensitive areas. If you're looking for your own little roleplay number, check out Blacklace's newest costumes which includes the At Your Service one I'm wearing below as well as a sinfully delicious nurse one (not shown).

Up In the Air

For someone that I used to know......

My Shoetopia 2013 Entry.

 

Gotta keep on, keep on, giving all
Keep on, keep on giving
Till I can’t see my shadow
Only tomorrow
Keep on, keep on, giving all
Keep on, keep on giving
Cause I can’t stop the rain so
Live for tomorrow

And when it seems like, it’s getting too dark
You’re going under, been pushing too hard
Too horrible to bear, just know you’re almost there
I wanna see what you can do when you’re up in the air!

Keep on, keep on, can’t see my shadow
Only tomorrow.....

Thank you Shay for loaning me the prop! <3

Oh My Pumpkin

Hey all! Just a quick LOTD post featuring these adorable pumpkin pose props that Nani Poses has out for the Oh My Gacha event. These pumpkin poses are just one of the cute autumn inspired props that are available for grabs in this gacha for only 40L a play. This set includes two different pumpkin poses with a jack o'lantern or basic pumpkin option. I like both options so I decided to decorate outside of my house with them.

Also, check out my new scarf. It's newness from Sweet Leonard and comes in a variety of colors perfect for accessorizing any outfit. I love the gold leaf pin accent and feel it adds a little something extra to keep the scarf from looking too boring. If you're looking for some cute Autumn accessories, be sure to swing on over to Sweet Leonard because she's always cranking out new goodies.

I Dance For the Love

I dance for the love
I dance even when I feel pain
I dance knowing there's something to gain
I dance for the love
I dance for me
I dance for everyone to see
I dance for the love
I dance as the sunshine
I dance hoping you will be mine 

I dance for the love
I dance with words to say
I dance all day
I dance for the love
I dance even when you leave
I dance and still believe
I dance for the love

Misguided Ghosts

'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts,
Traveling endlessly.
Don't need no roads.
In fact they follow me.
And we just go in circles.
Now I'm told that this life,
And pain is just a simple compromise,
So we can get what we want out of it.

Would someone care to classify,
Our broken hearts and twisted minds,
So I can find someone to rely on.

And run,
To them, to them
Full speed ahead.
Oh, you are not useless.
We are just...

Misguided ghosts,
Traveling endlessly.
The ones we trusted the most,
Pushed us far away.
And there's no one road,
We should not be the same.
But I'm just a ghost,
And still they echo me.
They echo me in circles.

Dreams In the Dusk

Dreams in the dusk,
Only dreams closing the day
And with the day's close going back
To the gray things, the dark things
The far, deep things of dreamland.

Dreams, only dreams in the dusk, 
Only the old remembered pictures
Of lost days when the day's loss
Wrote in tears the heart's loss.

Tears and loss and broken dreams
May find your heart at dusk.

Fall Time!

Hi readers! I'm on a bit of a budget but felt like blogging so I've got some prizes you can grab at The Autumn Effect Hunt to show off as well as this adorable hat from Sweet Leonard that is for sale at Marquis Market. My cutesy hat is available in 3 colors and is an exclusive to this event so hurry over and pick it up.

Now, let's talk about these hunt goodies. Cynful has out this sexy sweater dress as its prize. This curve hugging number comes in three versions: turtleneck, no turtleneck, and busty. I'm not a huge turtleneck fan so I loved the non version and am happy she gave out all of the choices. Another cute prize this hunt has is this Fall inspired leaf necklace from Atooly. This delicate accessory adds just the right touch to my outfit. As you can see, these are both awesome prizes so be sure to check out this hunt if you're on a budget like me. Can't wait till payday!

Finally, I decided to share another windlight with you all tonight. If you've noticed, my last few posts were all done in a Fall hued windlight. I made this one by tweaking a windlight that I already had downloaded to highlight all of the pretty tones of this season so it may look similar to one you already have (Sorry! I forget whose to give proper credit to!) but I figured everyone needs a pretty new windlight and some of you might be a little afraid to attempt messing with them yourself so I figured why not!

Belle's Indian Summer

Hey all! I've got some goodies from the newly opened Marquis Market to show you. It's the first round and will be running until the 28th with an Indian Summer theme this time around. My colorful boho skirt and autumny necklace are just two of the fabulous goodies you can pick up at this event so be sure to check it out.

I've also got a close up looksie at the newest release from Filthy. Her name is Belle and she comes in six tones and tons of makeup options. In case you didn't know, Filthy has Slink appliers as well as new appliers for the Phat Azz so be sure to head on over there and demo this pretty girl.

Filthy's Belle in All Tones

Finally, the lovely Celestial Realm sim has changed over to an Autumn theme so I decided to explore and take some pictures. It is gorgeously done as usual so if you're looking for somewhere to take your Fall inspired blog post pics at, keep reading for a landmark.

Sweater Weather

Hey all! Just a quick LOTD post to show off these fantastic goodies available at this round of The Seasons Story. I'm in love with these owl poses by Imeka so much that I had to go grab them as soon as I could. I've named my cute little owl, Hootie, after an ongoing joke between me and one of my guy friends on SL and I can't help but giggle because Hootie's usually mean to me and now he obviously loves me like he should have all along! This pose pack comes complete with 5 adorable poses and a texture driven menu so you can change out your owl's color. I paired it with this Autumn inspired new release by Truth that comes complete with his new HUD for both easy hat texture changing as well as hair color changing. Finally, check out these awesome boots by Sweet Leonard. I don't know about you but I love a good boot for my Fall looks and these fit well with only a little bit of moding with my favorite jeans. They are available in 6 colors and finish out my The Seasons Story look.

Fall Into Fall With Al Vulo

Well, September is here and that means Autumn soon will be too. On SL, it seems like Autumn has already started and that's perfectly fine with me because it's my favorite season. I love the warm, rich colors of the foliage and the cool, crisp weather so much. Good thing for me that this round of Collabor88 has a Fall Into Fall theme this round so there were lots of goodies for me to pick up to prepare for the upcoming season like this fabulous wool coat by Ison and this vibrant satin skirt by ur favorite one.

Also, check out my pretty skin. It's a sneak peek from Al Vulo for The Seasons Story which opens on Sept. 10th. This juicy skin called Berry comes in 5 tones ranging from a creamy porcelain to a warmer olive complexion. Each skin comes with loads of lipstick options as well as Slink appliers, Lola appliers, and eyes so be sure to grab a demo of this baby when the event opens.

Fall Into the Arcade

It's everyone's favorite time of year. Yep, you guessed it. Arcade time! Every 3 months or so, I get super excited to see what the talented designers of this event come up with loving almost everything and this round was no exception. So much cuteness to be had and of course, I had to take a pic and show it all off. Enjoy!

Also, my sexy shoes are the newest release from Filthy and are made for Slink feet. These strappy wedges come in a variety of colors so be sure to check them out after you're done at The Arcade.

Part Of That World

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world

And I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world....

I Got This Feeling On a Summer Day

Hey all! Just a quick LOTD with some awesomeness I've picked up around the grid. Olive has out a new gacha with adorable alien antennae headbands and the Atelier Kreslo Ice Cream Festival is going on until the 30th with fun ice cream cones created by various designers for sale so if you're looking for some cutesy accessories, check out both these places.

Also, check out this charming little outfit I picked up at The Dressing Room Fusion by Fishy Strawberry. It's a steal at under 150 lindens so hurry over and snap it up. The top comes in two different colors but I liked this one better because it went perfectly with these ballerina flats Sweet Leonard has out for free for the Seasons Palette Hunt. Although you can't see them clearly in my pics, these babies have a silver crown in them that screams out to the princess in you.

Lay Me Down On a Bed of Roses

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

 
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys
And I'll wear my pearls

Berry Blue

Hey all! Just a fast look with some goodies from various places around the grid. Sweet Leonard has out this gorgeous jeweled necklace and ring set. This set comes in four pretty colors including the Berry color I'm showing off. I decided to be colorful and pair it with Collabor88's House of Fox's silk romper and Wasabi Pills cutesy Claudette hair. Be sure to check out all of these finds!

I'm also showing off Al Vulo's newest skin release in Sunkissed. It's called Cecilia and it's available at Black Fair. Cecilia comes in 5 different makeups plus Al Vulo has been nice enough to place out another makeup as a free gift available exclusively at the event. If you're in the market for a new skin, check this baby out!

Finally, today's pics are taken at Isabelli Anatine's new Kitten's Heaven sim. If you remember, Isabelli won 2nd place in the SL Birthday contest and was awarded a homestead as a prize. She is going to open the homestead to the public real soon and as you can see from the pictures I've taken, it's absolutely adorable so be sure to keep your eye out for this opening.

What Happened That Night?

I didn't mean for this to happen. In my opinion, nothing in life is ever planned. It's just a series of events interconnected to one another, some more unfortunate than others. You see, it all started like this.......

The night was sultry and foggy with a heaviness to the air. It was the beginning of August and everyone was sad to see that summer would soon end. The prohibition was in full swing but that didn't stop the booze from flowing if you were clever enough to know where to get it from. My friends and I wanted one last hurrah before returning to the hustle and bustle of the city. We had been vacationing in the seaside town of Innsmouth and although it was picturesque and quaint, we longed for the bright lights and lively parties that we were used to. Through the grapevine, we heard of a speakeasy in the center of town and although, it wasn't much, we thought that it'd be something fun and different to do so we got ourselves gussied up and set out looking for a rousing good time.

When we got to the store that housed the saloon in its soundproofed basement, we slipped the cashier a few bills and followed his nod towards the back and slipped down a flight of stairs. The smell of smoke permeated the room but the soulful blare of the trumpets from the band hired for the night drew us in. Glancing around the room, I saw a few familiar faces including that of my ex, Joe. When we had dated, I heard it through the grapevine that he had been bootlegging cheap gin to various clubs around the city so with the convincing of my closest friend, Lizzie, I dropped him quicker than you can say moonshine. Beings that I hadn't ever really given him an excuse as to why I was suddenly unavailable, I was a little apprehensive after noticing he was here but I soon forgot as I lost myself in the ragtime tunes and got down to dancing.

A slower song came on and I stopped to catch my breath before exiting the dance floor but then I felt a tap on my shoulder and a smooth yet familiar voice asking me to dance.  I turned around and got lost in the green of his eyes. It was Joe of course and in a moment of weakness, I accepted. As we danced the Charleston, I couldn't help but wonder what he had been up to in the last few months. I also couldn't help but notice how I fit perfectly in his arms. It was like I belonged there. Another song came on but I really can't recall what it was. I was lost in the moment and forgetting every reason I kept myself away from this man. We couldn't be separated the rest of the night and as the club started to wind down, he took my hand and led me to a quiet corner. He brought his hand up to my face and brushed my hair ever so gently out of my face before leaning closely and smiling charmingly at me. I thought he was leaning in for a kiss so imagine my disappointment when he asked me to do him a favor and drive some "special packages" into the city for him. I sat back stunned and hissed at him that he couldn't be serious but he said he was. Would you believe I was so insulted that I stood up and slapped him right across the face? I mean the nerve of him! He grabbed for my wrist as I tried to walk away but I managed to move a little quicker than him and I hurried up the stairs wobbling on my mules from a combination of the drinks I had imbibed and my haste to get as far away from him as I possibly could. "Kat!", he called as he ran after me, his footsteps echoing behind mine. I saw my Studebaker just yards away and hurried behind the wheel driving off in a frenzy. I went to turn the corner and next thing I know Ka-Pow! I must have majorly misjudged that turn because the last thing I remember is the flash of lights in my eyes right before the sound of my car colliding with another.

When I came to, I was shocked to see that things had changed. The store that housed the speakeasy was boarded up and abandoned as was everything else in town. Also, from the looks of the place, the town was deserted and looked like it had been for many years. Needless to say, I was very scared by now and also slightly confused. I didn't know what to do or where to go so I just started walking. Hopefully I'll find some answers. Maybe you have them....

I Will Wait

Hey all! I've got some cute goodies I picked up from some events going on right now. Zenith has out these adorable lace detailed dresses at The Chapter Four that I paired up with this fun Peony umbrella I picked up over at Acid Lily by Le Poppycock. Both these items gave me the simple romantic feeling I was going for and went perfectly with some vintagey accessory releases that Sweet Leonard put out recently.

I've also got a closer look at one of the newer Filthy skins that was released about a week ago. Her name is Oceane and she comes in 6 pretty tons as well as lots of makeup options. I figured I'd show some of the tones with some of the makeups but the skin comes in its natural form and the makeups are all tattoo layers so feel free to mix and match as you like.

  

As you can see, there are lots of fantastic finds in this post so hurry and check them out. You won't be disappointed and now for some tunes!
