~All that I am


I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am



Autumn is in the air. With autumn comes one of my favorite seasons. I love the fall, the falling leaves, the pumpkins and the crisp air that brings in cool fronts to the Midwest.




It also brings ciderfests, pumpkin patches and more. The pose above is by Something New Poses and Props, it comes with the pumpkin stand, the pumpkin prop i'm holding in both hands. I really love this dream of Pandora's Box because it's very fallish and just welcoming as you walk around and take in the beauty of fall. I don't know if you have to pay a join fee to join Pandora's Box of Dreams, but if you do, it's well worth it just to be able to rez on this amazing sim. They're on dream 5 right now.The pose I'm using is called Grandma's Pumpkins and is available at The Autumn Effect Hunt, this started Sept 15th and runs into Mid October, I'm sorry that I don't know the exact date. And the Autumn Jacket I'm wearing is by No Name, and it's also available at The Autumn Effect. So just pop to those store locations and find the hunt item. I know both stores have plenty of hunt prizes available right now.
I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am


This is totally my face when my loving husband Cedric tells me that we can't take home the 80 pound punkin. *frowns* hehe.. Seriously, when my son was little I bought him his first pumpkin and it weighed in at a wopping 80 pounds. It was bigger, and taller then him! Was awesome though, I carved it and then stood him inside it for pictures. Fond memories.

And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am

I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am


I knew that when !bang sent out a request for bloggers that I HAD to apply. I never thought I'd get accepted especially since I have three other pose sponsors, but I did get accepted. I have admired Luna's poses probably as long as I have been on SL so I'm always eager to buy them, support events she's at etc. This pose "My World" was recently available for her 50L Friday. When this came across my facebook feed, I KNEW that I had to own it. This is my world, Cedric. He's all that I am and more. I love the tenderness of this pose. He always has my back. Always. My favorite guy.

The make up that I am wearing is by La Boheme, lipstick is a previous release but available in her store: [LB Kissable Glitter Lips] Set 1 - Gold 5. The eye make up, [LB Glamour Eyes] Rhiannon S1 - 6 which Santana has SEVERAL amazing sets out at the Cosmetic Fair get these amazing goodies until Sept 30th just 2 more days before they're available in her store.


I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I am the blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in
I'll show you all that I am


Here's the full pose, I realize I'm floating off the ground but that's how he makes me feel. Actually, Luna's poses are some of the EASIEST to adjust it's all in a box, no pose balls, just hop on the box, adjust, no unlinking, nothing. Quite simple even for those like me who stink at editing. :)


And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am



Here's a close up shot of the nail polish that I am wearing by La Boheme, so elegantly pretty! This is from Shelter set 1, there are 10 colors to each of these sets.

~When you find me

Something is said, it sits in my head
It's been there too long, it's killing me slow
It's rolling around, it's pushing me down
It's keeping the good part of me closed
Can't you see that when I find you, I'll find me
Oh I need you to know today I'll wait for you always


Sometimes I can be very random. When I opened up this outfit from Dark Passions I put it on and wore it about and kept thinking to myself "How do i want to blog this." The outfit is called Clara - Vintage Traveler which comes in both brown and black. I am wearing black. The difference is the top and the built. For black the top and belt are black, and for brown, the top and belt are brown. Easy enough. I don't know why when I put this outfit on my mind went to the movie "Time Travelers Wife", if you've never seen this movie it's about a man who travels through time both backwards and forwards and how he falls in love with a woman. I won't give any more details then that, but it's a truly feel good romantic movie and should be watched.  Anyways, enough of my ramblings this outfit and nail polish can be bought at London Docks on.the.sixes from Sept. 6 - Oct. 6.




I wanted to show you the back of this dress and the wonderful texturing that BCreative Wilde did. I love the snug fit, and how it just hugs my curves. Plus the sim I was taking pictures on is just stunning. I felt like I did travel through time and into another world. 



There are so many awesome things about this sim but because I know that Miss. B loves the Remarkable Oblivion dolls, it took me about 2 hours to wait for this spot to get free. One guy just sat and parked his butt, I'm going to assume the other person was going to take pictures but the minute it was free I jumped and down like a silly little girl and hopped up to pose. I wanted to have a tea party with the crazy whacky dolls! The chair had poses in it so that's what I am using. Was kind of creepy though. For you Miss. B! 




Also offered at this event is a new set of polishes by Dark Passions, called the Vintage Traveler which of course goes with the Clara outfit. There are many color options to this nail polish but I'm only going to show one this time. I know shocking of me! But I'll post the vendor picture below so you can see all the wonderful choices with gold and silver accents. 




Poses used: I was not using my computer when I was taking pictures and I was cycling through poses a lot looking for the right ones. I am sure that these are the poses I used, I'm just not sure *which are which*. This is very unlike me, lol I usually write everything down and keep better track but at least I know what ones I used.

~It beats for you

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down 
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum 



The new round of Collabor88 has started, this round is called Muted Coven. I am so impressed with so many of the creators this round, they really stepped up to the challenge of this theme. I love the spirits and the occult though I'm not a huge fan of scary horror movies, lol but I do enjoy ghosts and the things that go bump in the night. I decided to showcase -PixiCat- in this post. Dusk comes in several colors but since purple is my favorite color it was really a no brainer on which I'd buy though I may go back and buy the other colors because they're just stunning. The top is a corset fit, and fits snug to the body, the skirt long yet flowing with detailed textures. 


Oh loneliness - oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.

Then I dug into my make up and went with bold passionate eyes by La Boheme, this color is from her set Glamour Eyes called Caireen Set 2, there are 10 different stunning colors to choose from. There are several sets available and you can find these at the Cosmetic Fair which starts September 15th.I'm also wearing La Boheme's Kissable Glitter Lips, from Set 1, Gold 1.. Mwahs! 

Let me be the only one 
To keep you from the cold 
Now the floor of heaven's lain
With stars of brightest gold 

The hair is by Exile called Bewitched. I love this hair, I first bought it in blond then had to go back and buy the black because I wear black the majority of the time but sometimes I like to spice it up and go blond. I love how this hair fits.. but then I love most of Exile's hair. You can also find this hair at Collabor88. 



They shine for you - they shine for you 
They burn for all to see 
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free

Every pretty witch needs her own broom so I zoomed back to Collabor88 today and picked up the two of the several pose sets available there by Purple Poses. Purple poses made some fun poses for this event, several have friend poses in them, some with the broom prop and some model stands. If you're a pose junky like me, you won't want to miss these poses at the incredible prices that they're available for. 



Last, but surely not the least is my nail polish by Dark Passions. These nails are for a very very special cause. One of the amazing things about the Second Life community is when something happens, the creators bond and work together to support each other. The event is called Saving Sight from Sept. 12 - Sept 27. Saving Sight is a fundraising event to support the Owner of DeadPool named Shane Rodney Benbrook. He's battling with Graves Disease and this event is to help raise money for his medical expenses. To read more please go here: Saving Sight  or go to the event Saving Sight Event, shop your favorite creators and support one of our own.

This polish I am wearing is called Over the Moon. There are two polishes available at the event. Many of the creators of this event even have kiosks at their store to help support Shane. I know BCreative Does, and her polish Saving Sight will not be available after this event is over. Below is the ad for the polish available. 

Check out the stunning colors!


The stand poses I used for the last two pictures  are from !bang - stands 370-379


THE HAT! OMG YOU CAN'T FORGET THE HAT! It's by Remarkable Oblivion, this hat is The Illusionist - Ursa it's PURPLE! my favie color duh! It's available at September round of The Arcade.

~Remember When

Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when




Hidden Sanctuary Events is about to open their doors to a new event: Everlasting Love of the night! A gothic wedding affair. This event runs September 12-September 19th. I've always loved gothic weddings, and weddings in the fall. Today, September 7th is my parents wedding anniversary. Had my dad lived they would be celebrating 52 years. Can you imagine? 52 years with the SAME PERSON? He was my moms first love, and she was my dads first love. It is an everlasting love that will go through time. She'll remember him always, and will love him until her very last breath.


The dress I am wearing today is by +Facepalm+ called Grace. I chose this dress because well it's purple of course! This dress comes with a head dress and a pair of shoes that of course you can't see. So I took the dress off and took a show shot so you can see how CUTE these shoes are! These can be worn with the slink HIGH feet.







I wanted to show another angle of this dress, I love how the sleeves hang. I think it's very romantic looking.


Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when



As my readers know, I can't NOT add beautiful make up or polishes to finalize my looks. Today I combined my sponsors to get this elegant yet dark/gothic look. First my eye shadow and lipsticks is by Santana Lumiere of La Boheme. These smoking hot eyes and kissable lips are available at We <3 Roleplay. Have you been yet? So many goodies this round.


My polishes are from Dark Passions/Koffin Nails by BCreative Wilde. She has them at this round of Genre that ends on September 11th. This round is called Age of the Dragon

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when


EVENTS

We Love Roleplay Sept 4-The end of the month?

Genre August 15th to September 11th

**Please note that this event does not start until September 12th, but there are stores ON the sim available to shop at, just nothing of the event until the 12th.**

~Petals on the Wind



Though today is the last day for the Vintage and Cool Fair, I wanted to share with you these perfectly delicious nails from Dark Passions called Bold & Bishy . I love how this theme is inspired by the 80's. I loved the 80's, so much great music, weird hairstyles and the joy of the valley girl! Yes, I was a valley girl like totally true!





Something neat I figured out this week with Dark Passions hud IF you're wearing Slink (I haven't tried it with my Maitreya yet) is that if you apply to the hands, it applies to the feet! So totally awesome. Like.. you know.. totally! These colors are bold and scream awesomeness. I just love them. These are probably one of my most favorite sets but then I love ALL BCreatives designs.. these just are bold and flashy which I'm not really.


It's funny that usually I dress then try to match my polish, today I put my polish on then tried to match my clothes to the polish. I think I did that with No Name Buffy Outfit, and of course I had to match the [nn] Dusty heels with it because well they're just freaking smexy shoes!




The Buffy Outfit does come with a hud so you can change the top, the bra, as well as the skirt! Super cool right? So many looks with just the click of a button. I wish real life clothes were so simple!

Ohhhh! I can't forget the pose!!! The Pose is by . Infiniti . Creator Brandy Monroe, I don't remember what gacha event I got this at (I am so sorry!!!!) but it's called Night Shade. I am using pose 7

SIM LOCATION: Winter Moon

Vintage and Cool Fair August 21st to September 4th. 

Which the polish will be available soon at Dark Passions Main Store
Or you can look on Marketplace but it's always better to buy at events or in the main store as they're more affordable and you never know what kind of sales this amazing lady has for sale (or hunts going on too!)
