She will fall again, and again.

Scraped Knees 001

I still bear some scars from growing up as a tomboy and even some as a clumsy adult like the slanted backwards letter “t” on my ankle for falling over bed rails during the process of moving.  It seems I can’t escape them in Second Life either.  Saying that my scraped knees with band aid is a new release by ‘Things’ for the newest round of The Fantasy Collective that begins today.  It comes with appliers for Slink, Belleza, Omega and TMP and a version without the band aid is also included.

I was pleasantly pleased when I saw the newest decor items that Little Branch recently released for the new round of Shiny Shabby.  The wall butterflies that come in various colors and the wall clock also in several colors fit perfectly with my newly decorated home.  I love having a decorated home in Second Life, though it does limit my space for creating scenes for blog posts.  I tend to always find just one more thing that feels right at home and my available prim count goes even lower creating more of a challenge.  Oh well, that’s another reason why derendering works so well.

Close up 004

I am also wearing a scarf that the designer of MeshedUp has released for the Fantasy Collective as well.  I did a zoom in picture above to show you how pretty it is.  You can find the scarf in several colors to fit just about any color combination that you’re wearing.

Curiouser & Curiouser

Little Bird 018

“I have a desire for you today”
You were a passing bird
and I don´t know why
I got used to you
everyday more
we both invented
the adventure of love
you filled my life
and then I saw you go…
~ beginning lyrics translated from song “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti”

I’m a bit out of breath now.  You guessed it.  It’s this very tight corset I am wearing.

You can have a skinny waist too by going and grabbing your very own corset by MoDANNA at the anyBODY event that runs until June 30th.  I’m wearing the red version, though you can find the black corset with several different lining colors at the event.

The diamond shaped tattoo I am wearing is by Things and it is available at the Alice in Sexyland Event.  The word “curiouser & curiouser” inside the diamond shape is a line in the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland book that now is considered one of the more famous verses from the story.   Aside from the diamond shape tattoo you will also find tattoos in the other suits from the deck of playing cards with each having its own phrase from Alice’s adventures.

Lastly, I am wearing another of the fabulous collars that (epia) made for the June round of the arcade.  I think the heart pendant with the gold chain that circles the collar gives it a fashionable and much softer sexier look.

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” ~ Pablo Neruda

Cop 005-2

Light & Dark

I am not all good and light, sometimes I have bad thoughts and feelings, this is who I am.

I am not all bad.  I am generous, kind and peaceful.  I have so much
love and light to share, this is who I am.

Life is about creating balance, not suppressing your good, and not suppressing your bad,
for one cannot exist without the other, embrace them equally.

~

Will you love me even with my dark side?

Those feelings 099

In a few days it’s my real life birthday and I’ve been contemplating a lot of things lately in my life.  The age thing doesn’t bother me.. it’s more just pondering on stuff that has happened and did not happen by the time I reached this age.   A fellow blogger participated in this past Monday’s meme that dealt with finishing off some I statements and I told her she could have almost written mine.  They sort of fit in with my thoughts of late, so I thought of giving it a go.

I am… perhaps too stubborn at times to my own detriment
I want… to sometimes escape from every responsibility that I have
I have…more to be thankful for than not
I wish…things were less complicated at times
I hate… injustice
I fear… losing myself and losing loved ones
I search… for everything on Google
I wonder…far too many things
I regret… not having children
I never… will cook as good as my mom
I always… try to keep learning in some way
I usually… want to know the logic behind it
I dance… awkwardly no doubt
I sing… great to my ears
I often… procrastinate more than I should
I sometimes… over think and analyze
I cry… more easily now
I need… to restructure some things in my life
I should… become less of a hermit
I love… O.o

Meshed up 028

The theme for this round of The Secret Affair was end of times where you could find a lot of apocalyptic items, which seems to be a popular theme here in Second Life.  [MeshedUp] made a helmet and mask for this round.  You can also find all sort of other role-play items as well at the event.  My outfit is not necessarily indicative for end times… more or less I just started to throw things on using items from recent events.

016

It’s been a long day that began too early for me to make a breakfast engagement at 7:30 a.m.  I’m a night owl and getting up before the crack of dawn isn’t my favorite thing to do or eating so early either.  Somehow  I managed to eat eggs, bacon, hash browns and a pancake to boot.   I was ready to take a nap once I got to work from that overload of food!

It’s a short week for most of us here in the US with Thanksgiving, which means everyone is scrambling to get things done.  I meant to post this early if I got an opportunity… that just didn’t happen.

If you missed these South Asian pillows and rugs when they were available at a past Genre event you can find them now at the [CIRCA] store.  I love all the colors and the texturing is excellent, clear and the details are stunning.  The pillows comes with several poses and I think both the rugs and pillows can work with many decor styles.
