~All through the Night

All through the night, I'll be awake and I'll be with you.

All through the night, this precious time, when time is new.

All, all through the night today, knowing that we feel

the same, without saying, the same without saying

Today I felt feisty! I haven't felt feisty in forever! It's easy to feel feisty though when you're wearing something sexy from No Name and Dark Passions.. Rawr! Hear me roar!

I combined the top from Hunt Your Inner Slut from No Name called Tramp top and the skirt is called Ramona by Dark Passions. I also ended the outfit with the new heels by No Name called Dusti! They really completed this outfit.

** Please note that with the editing of this picture that it softened the top it's a really vibrant red but with the windlight I used it darkened it abit in this picture yet I wanted to use it because it really gave a good shot of the detail of the top.

It's a very commonly known fact that I love shoes. I love heels, I love love love shoes that have detail and just look amazing. I especially love these new Dusti Heels by no name. There's a hud that changes the color of the shoe, the sole, the bow and the metals on the bows. If you look close you can even see the stitching around the tops of the shoes. AMAZING details. Thank you to No Name for always making me smile when I slip my tosies in these shoes!

When I dress, I must dress from the top of my head, down to my hands, to my toes. Today I've frosted my nails and toes with Dark Passions new release at The Mesh Body Addicts Fair called Night Stalker. The hair I am wearing is by Doe that's available in a gacha @ the August Round of The Gacha Garden.(See below for a vendor picture of all the amazing colors and wacky choices available.)

~Reflection~

Now I see if I wear a mask, I can fool the world,

But I cannot fool my heart.

Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me,

When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

Fantasy Faire 2015 has begun. The portals opened on April 24th 2015 for it's 7th year of magical and wondrous creations from across the grid. Creators, designers, fantasy lovers coming together for the good of all. The sims this year are simply out of this world stunning. One of my favorite sims has to be YoZakura. I have a facination with this genre of design. This sim is just words fail me really. There were so many spots for pictures. I told my kids that I wanted to live on this sim, that I could just sit in this spot for hours and listen to the water spilling off of the mountains into the ponds below, and watching the wind whip through the sakura trees. A perfect spot for reflections.

As I stand and reflect on the last few years, let me share with you what I am wearing. This women's kimono is by Anachron. The creator Nix Marabana has two huds available with two choices of colors that you can mix and match. She said in her notecard to us that the sleeves are a little wonky but I didn't really notice that. I'm wearing my mesh body and it fit like an absolute glove. I am very impressed with the quality and style of the kimono. She plans to do some work on the kimono and include more huds and choices in the future. This is a creator I'm going to keep my eye on. :)

The pose I am using is by {ROOK} I'm not sure which sim this was on, but I had to buy it when I saw it. I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for until I put this outfit on then I knew I had made the right decision on buying it. We have a rule when we go to Faire that we make it through ALL the sims before we buy. I failed, lol. But I loved this pose and I think it was like 75L. It's awesome, comes with the petals and a hold pose with a mirror hold pose. When we were in the store the creator Nadia Voljeti was still setting up so I'll have to go back and see what else she's done!

I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart,

And what I believe in,

But somehow I will show the world what inside my heart,

And be loved for who I am.

Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me,

Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

~Adventures~

“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. i’ll always be with you.“

― Winnie the Pooh

Today was a day for blessings and adventures. It started out ordinary and ended extraordinary! Recently, I began taking an anti depressant with everything that's been going on in my life over the last year with my health I was tired of just being blah. I'm on the up side of whatever this is, but sometimes the medication makes me sick to my stomach or makes me extremely tired. I've been told this is fairly normal so I'm giving it a fair chance before asking my doctor for something else. But as for Second Life Cedric and I have been blessed. We have some pretty amazing friends. Friends who've been through a lot with us. New friends who have shown that second life is a good place to be. And then there's the family side of our SL. When we met Emma a few weeks ago we thought "wow we're really lucky." Then in a whirlwind of laughter and warmth I met Charlie who introduced me to his sister Libby. Whirlwind. 

Pose: Kirin~Day Dreamer Pack

So, all three of my children are aspiring to be bloggers in second life. Libby puts me to shame with how quickly she can get pictures and posts up. Maybe I'll learn somethin` from her. :) Today, she and I went on an adventure and explored "Story Brooke" part of the extremly well done portion of Baja Norte. (In order to rez here you need to join their group of 250L which I found very worthwhile. There are some spectacular pieces of scenery all over this sim for pictures. But if not, feel free to settle in on the various poses that the sim owner has set out for guests.)

Pose: Something New Poses and Props~Ella's Secret

After we walked around abit and I snapped a few pictures of myself, because sometimes I just need to do that. We settled down in Storybrook to hear the animals of the forest tell us a story but after awhile, Libby needed to tell me something so I rolled over onto my tummy, careful of my brand new outfit from [nn] called Cindy to hear what she had to say. She tells such wonderful stories and makes me smile from ear to ear with the things she has to say. Emma, Libby and Charlie will defintely be keeping me on my toes in the upcoming months, weeks and hopefully years.

Pose: Kirin Day Dreamer Pack

I wanted to share with you this new release polish by La Boheme as well called Ishtar. Santana has so many amazing new releases out as well as hunt prizes and events. So if you're looking for a great polish, check out La Boheme. I really liked this because it blended with the blue of my blouse.

~Bad Reputation~

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation

You're living in the past it's a new generation

A girl can do what she wants to do and that's

What I'm gonna do

An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

Spring has sprung in the midwest. The weather has been a little chilly but well it's April and we've had such a mild winter. Lots of rain which we desprately needed. As I am anticpating the portals opening to the 2015 Fantasy Faire for relay for life, I've spent the last week or so reflecting on my journey in second life. Where I've been, and where I am going. Over the last week I've been blessed with not one but three new children. The children avatars of second life at first used to worry me and creep me out but I've been rather lucky and feel that the three that have found their way into our home and our hearts were meant to be. Things happen and things happen for a reason.

Pose used: Muse Poses

Today I want to share with you a new release outfit by Tori Stylez. The pants and top are called "Madeline" Each comes with a hud you can buy as an outfir or seprate. Lots of amazing colors. I chose white. I will warn you though the top is full bright, but it's still such a wonderful outfit that it's easy to get used to.

 I found Tori when I was looking for wedding dresses. I have to tell you, she's so affordable, she gives the best customer service and she's just overall NICE to deal with.
The night she gave me this outfit, my daughter on her big account and I were looking at wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses. Tori came down and was chatting with us. Let me tell you, customer service. She put dresses on, took them off, put out a dress then put out the hud system so we could play. I think she spent 2.5 hours with us (if not more) that night just showing us things and helping my daughter decide. It was amazing. I'm just delighted to be able to blog for Tori whenever she wants to send me stuff. You'll see more from her soon.

~Telephone Line~

Hello--how are you

Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,

That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,

If you'd pick up that telephone.

Tonight's blog inspiration kind of came out of the blue by a very dear friend of mine. I won't say old friend because she has a whip, and she's not afraid to use it. This blog post is dedicated to Daddy Kristi. :) I honestly don't want to tell you how long I have known this fabulous Dyke lady but it's been a long time. We've had some ups and we've had some downs but really when the going gets tough she and I both know we have each others backs and that we'll just always be friends.

I headed over to my wifey's platform and sat on her pose stand since I am in the process of a second life move. (Only in Second Life can you move within 30 mins, tearing down everything and replanting yourself elsewhere.. but that's a whole nother store for nother time.) While trying to reminisce of days gone by. I dug into my inventory and pulled out this classy new release from No Name called the Keely Corset dress. Let me tell you this dress is just.. wowzers. I'm just continually impressed by these creators. Shelby tells me they've been around awhile.. they're a very hidden secret that I hope gets shouted loud and clear so more and more people know the name brand No Name. *nods nods her head firmly..* What's that quote 'No one hides baby in the corner.." well we should make that No Names quote "No one anymore hides No Name." Okay so I am tired, I've been up all night. Heh. :)

Pose from Something New Poses and Props Roaring 20's Pose 1 and Sassy pose 2

Recently, I added Daddy Kristi to my to my facebook page that is my SL page because she and I had reconnected on my "real life" page, lol.. and so she is always harassing me somewhere. Tonight she sent the link to the song "Telephone Line" by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) and I was like OMG! so yeah... I probably should have found some cozy couch and sat down with a book and a telephone in hand but I never do what people think. So while I'm walking down memory lane look at these fabulous shoes! They're also by No Name called Ora Heels which are a new release available at their store. And I know Daddy Kristi has a thing for shoes.. I may have to find the kinds of shoes she likes instead of sexy ass heels. :P

Pose by Something New Poses and Props Roaring 20's Pose Set

One of the amazing things about No Name's dress and shoes in this blog post is they're hudded. This dress you can do SO MANY different things. You can change the red fabric to another color, the black fabric to different colors the skirt and bows change colors, even the metals and the white ribbing down each side of the red. AMAZING. I mean seriously so many different looks in JUST ONE DRESS! And the shoes are hudded as well. But if you're like me, you love shoes so I'm eager to buy more of their shoes! And Dresses! And tops! *nods nods nods*

So when I dress, I dress from head to toe. Every woman must. It's just... well a must. I decided I needed new hair. I'm a hair addict what can I say so I drove over to Truth and picked up this new hair called Mireya. I love it, can change my hair, my clothes with just the flick of a button and my hair color. No gray hair for meh! Then I dug into my inventory and painted my lips with La Boheme glossy red lipstick. KISSABLE! Plants one right on your smackarooo's! Explain that to your husband or your wife! ~giggles~ And you can't forget the new razor sharp polish by Dark Passions/Koffin Nails. If you piss me off I can just slit your wrists with my fantastic nails?! yes? No? Okay.. No, I won't.~sighs taking away all my fun~ But they are truly gruesomely wicked.. I love it. She's the only person I know that goes from pastel bats to razor sharp in less then a week. You can find these fabulous polishes for your hands and tosies at CarnEvil from March 22nd to April 6th. You could truly be evil and have new blades or rusty! These come for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza versions. :) So no girl (or guy) can be left behind.
