Walking down the snowy path.

I tried playing with shadows again even changing my settings and all it produced was frustration when I crashed every time I hit the save button. Finally, I just settled on using a texture as the background and went with it. The other thing I am noticing is that I’m losing some resolution in photos, but before I start thinking of buying a new computer I switched from using the jpeg format to the png. The pictures come out slightly larger though it did make a difference. These are just items from some of the fantasy role-play events that are happening on the grid.

You’re too precious to cry.

If I showed you my teardrops,
Would you collect them like rain,
Store them in jars.
That are labelled with “Pain”,
Would you follow their tracks,
From my eyes down my cheeks,
As they write all the stories,
I’m too scared to speak,
Would you stop them with kisses,
Bring their flow to a halt,
As you teach me that pain,
Isn’t always my fault,
Would you hold my face gently,
As you dry both my eyes,
And whisper the words,
“You’re too precious to cry”,
If I showed you my teardrops,
Would you show me your own,
And learn though we’re lonely,
We’re never alone.

The Ghost Whisper

On October 17, 2014 By AlexaIn Events2 Comments

I have never really gotten the fascination with Halloween and even today there isn’t much that I find appealing in it. I will admit that it’s fun seeing the kids in their cute and fun costumes and I am referring to those adorable costumes like Raggedy Ann or Winnie the Pooh. Because honestly, I find it a bit disconcerting to see children dressed in costumes that have blood or human parts hanging and are really quite frightful. It’s stuff like this that makes me wonder at times if this is how we have become so desensitized as a nation. That’s a whole other subject left for a rainy day.

Even with my apathetic nature towards Halloween in real life, it could sound a bit contradictory and hypocritical that I am about to show you a Halloween product. We’re all adults here in this virtual world (or we should be!) and to each their own. I have even found myself in the last two years partaking in it by putting together some costume to wear around the grid, because I like to challenge myself with putting together something different so far removed from my real life. So if you’re one of those who like the fun and thrill of Halloween then check out one of the items that Aphrodite Shops has released for the birthday celebration at the Cosmopolitan Room.

This ghost whisper haunted living room set has quite a lot of animations in all the props you see in this picture, including my doll floating in the air. It’s all spectacularly animated for your fun and enjoyment.

This is my last post on the jewelry that is available at the Jewelry Fair, which completes my commitment to blog at least one item from each of the creators that nicely sent me their items to blog. Not being a big jewelry person in either world, mainly opting to wear just a watch and the occasional rings this was sort of an accomplishment.

When putting together this outfit I had a little mishap, which turned out alright. Absentmindedly I was clicking removing one hair and clicked to wear another from the same creator without really paying attention. Then when I did look I found both hairs still attached to my head. Looking closer I didn’t think they looked bad together so I left them.

I mentioned that I rarely wear jewelry in my real world, even though I have a jewelry box that contains all sort of fashionable jewelry that I either purchased because I thought they looked great and envisioned wearing or gifts over the years. When I wear earrings I usually go for small size earrings that won’t feel very weighty on my small ears.

These I’m wearing are not small. I chuckled at the name — big stud triple diamond earrings and what girl doesn’t like big… stud… and triple diamonds? The earrings along with the Aztec silver necklace are from Luxury and thought they went pretty well with this equally fabulous dress from Luas that is available at the new round of the Secret Affair that recently opened.

I make no secret of liking to dress up in mythical and fantasy like costumes and events like 25L Tuesday, which are geared more for the role-player make it a lot easier. It’s sort of my rationale for I won’t feel so guilty for buying something that I might just wear once for a picture if it only costs 25 lindens. The rest of the items minus the shoes, chalice and fruit were from the August Collabor88 event.

I haven’t given up my normal main stream life style for a life of fantasy and costumes just yet. Though I must admit it’s been fun creating these outfits with this round of fantasy offerings from several of the events happening on the grid right now.

I do sometimes struggle with knowing what sort of scene to put together and what poses to use for such outfits. It could possibly be easier to just find a sim and snap pictures, though I enjoy creating my own scenes and for the most part I just go with the flow in what looks good to me.

This picture above was sort of a fluke in trying to add some light back into the picture using the curves feature in Pic Monkey. I rather learned a new trick in making that little mistake and I’m rather pleased with the background at the end.

While I have more fantasy stuff to show my next post will probably be something a little lighter. Maybe.

Remembering the words…

“I wish I wrote the way I thought;
Obsessively,
Incessantly,
With maddening hunger.
I’d write to the point of suffocation.
I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns,
Manuscripts spiraling out like
tentacles into abysmal nothing.
And I’d write about you a lot more than I should.”

~ Benedict Smith, I wish I wrote The Way I Thought
