Forever Autumn


The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away


 Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now 'cause you're not here...

Happy Bandana Day


Today's the last day of Hair Fair and like every year, it means that it's Bandana Day. Bandana Day is the day we remove our hair to show we care and style it with a bandana. Lots of talented creators have put out a personally designed bandana with all the sale proceeds benefiting Wigs for Kids. If you'd like to read more about Bandana Day and Hair Fair, be sure to check out the website.

Gung Hay Fat Choy

This post is for my 4th wifey, Desi. Have a Happy New Year BB!

Gung Hay Fat Choy, Gung Hay Fat Choy
Sing Happy New Year, Gung Hay Fat Choy


The new moon tells us, exactly when
To celebrate with family and friends 

Clean up the house and get out the broom
Sweep out the old year, bring in the new

Bring out the apples, the oranges too
Their colors bring us joy and good luck too

The dragon dances, the lanterns light
The firecrackers light up the night...

Cool Kids

She sees them walking in a straight line,
That's not really her style
And they all got the same heartbeat
But hers is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could
Ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background

And she says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids...

Valkyrie

Oh Warfather on high,
I am calling you from the battlefield
And as I take my last breath
I call for the mightiest of miracles

For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to the ancient Valhalla


 Oh Warfather on high
Listen to my prayer
I lived my life by your rules
Oh let death cover me now

For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to Valhalla of old

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.

Bandana Day

Hair Fair is sadly coming to an end and as most of you all know, today is Bandana Day. This day is we remove our hair to honor those who are suffering with cancer right now and wear a bandana. There were tons of beautifully made bandanas to purchase at this wonderful event but this one by Ohmai was so gorgeous that I chose it for my bandana today along with a lot of other people on SL. If you haven't been to this event yet, you still have a few hours. Remember that all sales of the bandanas go towards Wigs for Kids so be sure to run over and get your own bandana and support an awesome charity!


Also, if you haven't heard, Beetlebones has reopened and has a bunch of new goodies in her store. My beautifully done dress is one of these releases and comes in a variety of colors. I love the simpleness to this dress so much and felt like it went perfectly with my bandana so I just had to show it off. I paired it with Filthy's newest release Oceanne which I will show you more of in my next post.

Since we are removing our hair, I thought it was apt to wear the browless version of this skin and ditch my lashes today because as you know chemotherapy isn't selective and cancer patients lose all of the hair on their body, not just the hair on their head. I hope that anyone who is reading this post who may be affected by this tragic illness knows that your spirit shines through in your strength and that makes you beautiful. <3

It's a Glam Affair Intriguing Questions Meme

As most of you all know, I'm a huge fan of Glam Affair. I think that every skin Aida puts out is flawless and I drool over most of her pics. The Liaison Collaborative opened today and Glam Affair released the Katya skin in 6 pretty makeups. I had to run right over and grab one. While playing with my new Tram hair from Hair Fair, I realized I had a pretty blonde shade so I decided to do some experimenting and made myself a cool blonde. I rarely go blonde but I do like this skin/hair combination so maybe blonde is in the future more for me. I liked the look so much that I had to snap a pic and use Aida's photo editing as inspiration for my vanity shot.


And since it's Monday, I am also using this post to do Berry's Intriguing Question Meme. I love Berry's memes because they give all of us participants the opportunity to open up a little more to our readers. If you're interested in doing the meme, you can check out Berry's blog post here for a list of the questions.

1. How do you deal with criticism? Oh, I hate hate hate criticism and I'll be the first to admit that I don't take it happily. I get irritated and annoyed by anyone who offers me criticism. I know that it's a negative personality trait of mine but I can't help who I am. I do try not to get snippy when someone offers me unsolicited advice and after the initial irritation wears off, I'll try to consider their opinion or viewpoint and sometimes I'll even admit the person offering the criticism was right.
2. What’s the most infuriating thing other SL residents do? There are too many for me to list and I'm kind of dealing with the aftermaths of one of these things right now so I really don't want to talk much about the answers to this question.
3. Which SL resident would you most like to have lunch with and why? My partner, Carter! Someone please fly me to England so I can have lunch with him. I'll love you very much! I don't think I need to give reasons why. They are kind of obvious but I'll give them anyway! We have amazing chemistry and the ability to talk for hours plus he's super sweet and witty. I know that this chemistry would be even greater if we were face to face. Plus, I'd give anything to be able to wrap my arms around him and give him a big hug.
4. Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Someone who serves as a warning rather than an inspiration? Ahh, I'd love to give names but I won't. Liars, users, people who play the victim, fake friends who will backstab or insult you the minute they can, slutty girls who need to have a SL man, egomaniacs...need I go on?
5. What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? SL related? Nothing really. Everything remains the same. I don't think anything's been ruined for me but I have grown tired of some things.
6. What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about? Umm, I silently stalk my SL friend's profiles every few days to make sure I haven't missed anything important going on in their lives that they may have added to their profile.
7. What’s the oddest term of endearment you’ve ever used or that someone’s used for you? Lol! I'm sure that I've forgotten some of them but I do recall someone calling me their "pocket princess" last week! *sticks my tongue out at this person in case they are reading this*
8. Have you ever fallen in love with another SL resident? Yes and I'm still in love with him :)
9. Describe a time/event in your slife that you’re nostalgic for. Me and my closest gf on SL, Kimbra, used to go trolling at sex sims a lot last year. We used to die laughing at the lame pickup attempts the guys that used to frequent these places would throw at us and would paste our crazy answers to them back and forth to each other. They were fun times and I miss them but RL changes things so we don't have as much time to hang out together.

10. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you? Just be honest with me and talk to me. Keeping it real with me is the sweetest thing you can do for me.

Teeny Weeny Polka Dot Bikini

Hi readers! I've got lots of newness to show off to you. The newly reopened Filthy has out a second version of their adorable Alicia skin. This skin comes with tons of extras and I think it has a cute youthful face so be sure to go to Filthy and check it out. I paired it with one of my favorite hairs from Lamb at Hair Fair. I love the casual waves and length of this baby so much.


I'm also showing off this sexy retro bikini that is out at Blacklace that is one of this week's TGIF specials. This hot little number is only 99L along with the soft eyeshadow I'm wearing. If you're looking for some summer steals, be sure to check out Blacklace and Blacklace Beauty!


Finally if you've read my SL bestie, Kimbra's blog, Iridescent Rainbows, you'll notice she mentioned she was using one of my WL's. I've decided that I'd share it off with the rest of you since she had such nice things to say about it. If you'd like to download, it, be sure to keep reading because we both think it's really pretty! I used it in this post too!

Cause I'm A Gypsy ~ A Hair Fair Sneak Peek

Hair Fair opens in less than 45 minutes and if you're like me, you've been marking the calender down waiting for this event in anticipation. Running from July 13th to July 23rd, Hair Fair marks its 8th year raising money for the charity, Wigs for Kids. Each designer who is in this event has generously decided to donate a portion of their hair's sales just for this charity so of course, all of us non designers can help support this wonderful cause by buying lots and lots of hair.

I'm always excited to see all of the different styles out there and I purchased many hairs tonight from a variety of different stores but I wanted to show off this gypsylike style from Olive called Elisa first. Olive is launching its hair line at this event and has out 4 fun hair styles guaranteed to suit anyone's taste. I instantly fell in love with this hairdo because I love hair accessories and this one features a quirky little headband. Isn't it adorable? Yep, I knew you'd agree so be sure to save some lindens and check out Olive's little booth at this event.

I Hate That Stupid Old Pickup Truck


State the obvious, 
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine you won't mind if I say
And by the way

I hate that
Stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn


There's no time for tears,
I'm just sitting here
Planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be

'Cause I hate that
Stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn

I Cannot Be Until You're Resting Here With Me

Yep! The title is kind of how I'm feeling right now over a certain someone special. I wish he were here with me because I love him so much! Anyways, I've got some exciting news for you all! Filthy skins is back and has released a new skin called Alicia. Alicia has a soft face and comes in 5 tones each packed with loads of makeup layer extras like freckles, eye shadows, and lipsticks. Plus, Alexandra Barcelos has jumped on the Lola Tango train and also has made breast appliers for Alicia. I just had to put on this pretty skin and show her off to you along with this gorgeous flowy dress from Baiastice that is available at this round of Fameshed.


I've also got a few fabulous freebies you can pick up around the grid. Sweet Leonard has out this beautifully done pearl flower necklace and ring set for the Fist Pump With the Best hunt and Nani Poses has out an 8 pack of versatile, summer themed poses for the Endless Summer Hunt. Also, don't forget to pick up Ikon's group gift this weekend. It's a pair of his newly released Ascension eyes in a luminescent gold color. Gotta love the generosity of these designers!


Also, I went exploring today at Kingdom of Jordan and as you can see from the pictures above, this sim is definitely worth checking out so when you're done admiring more of Filthy's newest release of Alicia below, be sure to grab the LM to this fantastic location.

I Just Ride


I've been out on that open road 
You can be my full time, daddy 
White and gold 
Singing blues has been getting old 
You can be my full time, baby 
Hot or cold 

Don't break me down 
I've been traveling too long 
I've been trying too hard 
With one pretty song 

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast 
I am alone in the night 
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I 
I've got a war in my mind 
So, I just ride 



Dying young and I'm playing hard 
That's the way my father made his life an art 
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark 
That's the way the road dogs do it, ride 'til dark. 

Don't leave me now 
Don't say good bye 
Don't turn around 
Leave me high and dry 



I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast 
I am alone in the night 
Been trying hard not to get in trouble, but I 
I've got a war in my mind 
I just ride 

I’m tired of feeling like I’m f*cking crazy
I’m tired of driving ‘til I see stars in my eyes
It’s all I’ve got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast 
I am alone in the night 
Been trying hard not to get in trouble, but I 
I've got a war in my mind 
I just ride


Special thanks to my ex wife, Nikki Wildmist, for making these poses specially for me.

Sweet Childhood of Mine

I love moments that I get to spend with the love of my life, Carter. They make my time in SL more enjoyable especially when we get to explore beautiful places like we did today. I was browsing locations for my next post when I came across a post by Ziki Questi featuring Mysterious Wave's newest art installation. It's called Childhood and is done as a way to see SL through the eyes of a child complete with a fun carousel as the centerpiece to this showcase.


I snapped some pics before Carter came on to show off some newness that is available at Sweet Leonard as well as this purty maxi dress that is available from Apple May Designs for only 25 L this week only in purple. I fell in love with these fun blocks and figured they'd be the perfect backdrop to my pictures. Of course, I had to take a closeup of this gorgeous floral crown I got from Sweet Leonard's gacha.


And since I love couples pics and finally have a someone special to take them with, I couldn't resist using this cute pose I got at Poser's Pavilion from WetCat to snap one of us while we were exploring. The sim allows you to rez on it! He liked the pinwheels the best but since I was the photographer, I put us back in front of the blocks. *Giggles*

Ascend Into the Blue

So I just had the most amazing afternoon/evening on SL and now I've got a few goodies to show off to you. Sweet Leonard, my go to accessory store released the prettiest stone necklace. This earthy necklace comes in 2 versions, long and short, so you can wear it with almost anything your heart desires. I paired it with one of my many Tee*fy dresses and Glam Affair skins from The Arcade to bring you this post.


I've also got a look at these gorgeous Ascension eyes from Ikon that are available exclusively at Numberology until June 15th. These pretty peepers feature a reflection in them and come in over 30 different colors. I figured I'd show off a few of my favorites and I must say that I'm usually a green eyed lass on SL but for some reason, I can't take off this Quicksilver color. I think I'm going to stick with them for a bit for a change. Be sure to grab the LM below and go to the number 6 booth of Numberology for your own gorgeous eyes.
