Doughnut

Hand me a trick and a kick and your message
You'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
Then thought that I could decipher your message
There's no one here to
No one at all

And if I'm wastin' all your time, this time
Maybe you never learned to take
And if I'm hangin' on to your shade
I guess, I'm way beyond the pale...

I'm Going To Make This Place Your Home

Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
Cause I'm going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone
Cause I'm going to make this place your home...

Stolen Dance

Coldest winter for me
No sun is shining anymore
The only thing I feel is pain
Caused by absence of you
Suspense is controlling my mind
I cannot find the way out of here

 I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You've never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it...

Everybody Else Just Fades Away

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me

Cuz I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what love feels right
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground...

And At Last I See the Light

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

 

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you....

Autumn Leaves

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall...

Autumn Comes to Eventuality

A touch of cold in the Autumn night—
I walked abroad,
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
I did not stop to speak, but nodded,
And round about were the wistful stars
With white faces like town children

National Teddy Bear Day Meme

Today is National Teddy Bear Day and it inspired my friend, Xaqueline, to start a meme challenging us all to take a pic with a teddy bear online. Since I love the Booger's bears from Arcade, I grabbed my favorite one this round and snapped a pic of us on a bike ride.

It also gave me the chance to show off this gorgeous necklace from Bokeh that will be available at the upcoming Jewelry Fair. This pretty pendant comes in 3 length versions as well as many gemstone options so be sure to check it out when Jewelry Fair opens on Sept. 13th.

Campfire Fun

The source of all my frustrations tonight! I wanted to do a final Arcade post with all the cute Alouette stuff and my friends but my computer was being evil. Finally, I got this shot. Good luck to everyone who entered the contest and farewell until September, Arcade!

Also special thanks to Pam, Glen, Zaidee, Dylan and Mz (not pictured cause she had to sleep) for sitting tight for almost 2 hours to make this shot happen. I have amazing friends. <3

Fishing For Prizes

My 2nd entry for The Arcade Photography Contest.

I was inspired by all the fishing gear this round and thought it'd be fun to do a pic where I'm fishing for prizes. Then, I hooked this little seahorse and had a laugh.

Good luck to everyone else who entered!

The Heist ~ My Arcade Photo Contest Entry

The Arcade ended yesterday and although I absolutely loved everything the designers offered as usual, I didn't really get a chance to blog about it. Too busy doing other things and finding what makes me happy in SL! When I did see all the monetary products Sorgo had for its gacha, I just knew what type of picture I wanted to do for the contest. I immediately built a casino heist scene in my head and after days of procrastination, I got to work building it from Sorgo's items as well as many other Arcade finds.

I have to give special thanks to my friends though for their help: Katja, thank you for your artistic eye and suggestions for furniture placement, Zaidee, thank you for loaning me the bag of money that I spent 100's of lindens trying to win and unfortunately didn't, and Nick, thank you for being my model when no one else had the time to do so. You all rock! <3

Oh and the pic! Good luck to all who entered the contest this round. There are some amazing entries!

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 Into the Arcade

It's everyone's favorite time of year. Yep, you guessed it. Arcade time!

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.

Bloomin Daisies

Nani Poses has out the most adorable spring themed pose props for the Blooming Into The Season Hunt. This set includes five handheld daisy poses that will just make you want to stop and smell the flowers so be sure to go ahunting for these as well as all the other awesome prizes along this hunt.

I'm also showing off newness from Bishes Inc. in the form of this sexy denim mini. This little skirt comes in many different washes and with tons of different belt styles so go pick up your fave. Also more newness from Demise of Flight in the form of these simple yet cute tubetops. This tubetop comes in five colors. Isn't the little bow just adorbs?

Finally, I have to mention my skin. It's the newest group gift by Al Vulo and is a special version of the Aisha skin. I am not usually a fan of pink lips but I can't help love how the bisquit tone of this skin sets off the makeup so beautifully. Al Vulo's group is free to join so be sure to get over there and pick this pretty girl up.

Alphin

Soho Corner is back with newly released furniture cuteness and I've got a little sneak peek for you. All of the furniture and decor shown here besides the clock and cute little teddy bear is part of their new soon to be released set called the Alphin set. This little number comes complete with lots of poses built in as well as a texture change menu so you can match it to your own home.

Now since I mentioned the clock and teddy bear, let's talk about them. The teddy bear is part of Soho Corner's newest gacha and there are many different bears to win. The brown grizzly shown is a rare though I believe so good luck trying to win him! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Finally, the clock is also another new release and actually works! Plus, you have the option of customizing it to any time zone you'd like as well as change the wood and size. As you can see, Soho Corner has been busy at work making furniture cuteness so be sure to stop by and check them out.

Pieces of Me

So this post has a lot in it. Today was probably one of my best SL days ever because I partnered the most wonderful guy. Yep, that's him down in the couples pic. Not only is he super awesome but he posed with me!! That earns him triple brownie points in my opinion.

Ok, enough gushing! So the Cold Winter Nights Hunt started the other day and omg the prizes are awesome! I love, love, love all the decor you can pick up at this hunt all for 10L a piece. My fave hunt goodies had to be this cutesy couples pose by Nani Poses and this adorable little house by Post. This hunt runs till February 15th so you have plenty of time to check it out.

The sexy lingerie I'm wearing is newness by Blacklace and comes with quite a few wear options. You can go completely naughty with bikini panties, cover it up with these sexy satin boxer shorts, or if you're feeling a bit cold, you can opt to wear the lounge pants. Also, this little number is available with Tango appliers for all you ladies who love the boobehs. Plus, the bright jeweled colors are guaranteed to make sure your significant other can't keep their hands off you. Hurry over to Blacklace and pick these up. It's bound to make for a steamier Winter's night.

Dockside with Dina

Me and my besties are always in each other's box asking if we saw so and so released this or that. So when me and my wifey, Dina, both saw these softly textured, off the shoulder sweaters from Erratic for Fameshed, we knew we were both getting one. Then, I said co blog so we got ourselves all casual cutesy and posed it up at Vespertine for you all to see.

After we were done smiling pretty for the camera, Dina got a little case of wanderlust and when I looked up from editing in GIMP, I had noticed she had ditched me! What can I say? She's easily distracted! Since I had been left all alone, I decided to find a new partner to pose with. As you can see, he's so much cuter. Wouldn't you agree? *Giggles*
