Early On a Sunday Morning

Nzuri Beryl

I do not understand why my cat thinks I have to wake up when he wakes up, but he is so insistent, rubbing his face on mine and meowing over and over and over until I get up. Unfortunately, he woke up at 3:45 this morning. I have tried to go back to sleep a few times, but without any luck. So, bleary-eyed and grumpy I logged into Second Life hoping to get cheered up. And of course, i was! The first step in the process of turning my frown upside down was putting on this romantic Beryl Dress from Nzuri. It’s a beautifully done empire waisted dress with a lovely pink skirt and floral bodice. The belt at the bodice is a great detail that elevates the dress out of the ordinary.

Mano a Mano

Mano a mano

Roland Gustav, Hero of the battle of Cerronia. The flamboyant captain of the City Guard. Defender of the Freehold.

Tu’shan El’Aunayah. Warrior without equal. Leader of the Third Host of the People. Conqueror in the name of the Greater Destiny.

They meet on the final bridge before the city. The last battle to decide the fate of a people. One on One. Hand to Hand. Mano a Mano.

Where Are You? We’ve Got Some Work to Do Now.

Camille or Velma

While you were playing Glitch and Skyrim, Daphne took an arrow to the knee and Velma graduated from college and updated her look a bit. Yes, she still has the beloved orange sweater with a skirt from Tres Blah, but she added some cool earrings, kickin’ boots and a chic short cut.

I’ve Been Bad…..

Now that I have your attention….. Well, I kinda have been bad.  It’s been more than a month since my last blog post.  I’ve gotten out of habit and I really need to jump back into the fire.   So, with that, I have my contribution for Week 6 of the 52 Week’s of Color – Alice Blue.  And its a saucy lil’ lingerie set from Lil’Lace, called Sugar Blue. (Sorry I’m not in-world and do not have LM’s).

Still small

Spring fairy meets Winter chick

It’s true. I’m still a petite. I haven’t had this much fun in an avatar since I discovered Tinies. (I think I spent a whole week dressed as a wee orange cat, once.) I was tickled to find that Evie had created fairy outfits for petites, so I just had to put one on and visit my poor chained slave in Winterland. Just kidding, the lovely Ms. Voshie Paine there CHOSE to sit around in the cold snow all bound up. (Who says little tiny fairies aren’t sadistic.) Anyway, if you want, visit the Yabu petite market and see her wares!

Outfit: Evie’s Closet Eden Fairy – petite – orange, including shoes, wings & hat.
Hair: Wasabi Pills Amandine Petite mesh hair in Aquatic

The First Time I Ran Away

I am mixing mesh pants with a system sweater and sculpts, assured that the system top with be firmly tucked in to my pants waist band. This sweater is from The Sea Hole and has a gorgeous teal and brown crocheted lace insert down the front. It comes with a rounded neckline. With all embellishment on the front, I did not want to add a necklace and decided to add this lovely brown collar scarf from The Secret Store.

The first time I ran away I saw
Faces in the dreams I heard
Voices in the storm they say
Uh, uh,… water falls
Uh, uh
