Once, a long time ago, I lived for a summer at my grandma’s farm. The farmhouse had a cellar built in the 1700s, dug into the hard cold New York bedrock, retaining the cold even in the depths of the summer. Down in the cellar, when it was pitch dark, I always felt as though the floor would open to reveal the past still trapped there. Down through years and stories, in ghostly stories deep into the earth, with all of the people who’d ever lived in the house lingering and trying to tell their stories. What is a human life but a story? I honor my relatives today by remembering their stories and telling them to my child, so that she can also hear the voices from the earth and the past.

Sasy told me today that she thinks I am separated at birth from Whimsy Winx. Apparently, Whimsy and I are both completely without any apprehension at any of the nuttiness one runs into across the grid. In fact, we embrace it like mad girls and run amok as though whatever it is we’ve found is the best thing ever. Continue reading →
Well, now that the tutorial is out of the way, I can actually work on today’s post. I am wearing the Edye hat and coat from Baiastice for Cinema! With its name and its mod style, I am assuming it’s inspired by Edie Sedgwick, the inimitable muse of Andy Warhol and Sixties style icon. It’s also very yellow. With my head already thinking Sixties, my very next thought was of the song Big Yellow Taxi.
Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you want ’til it’s gone?
A bunch of folks are trying to figure out how to work with their photos to get them to fit the 650 pixel or less requirement for I Heart SL. I thought I would show you how I add photos to my posts. There are advantages to posting your pictures using this method. For one, it reduces your use of storage space on WordPress. While WordPress gives users a lot of storage, it’s not infinite, so using Flickr can save you space. If you don’t have Flickr Pro, you won’t be able to see all your pictures on Flickr, but their links will still work in your blog.
I am going to show you in WordPress, but it works the same in Blogspot.
Choose your photo on Flickr and go to the Share button. See the red arrow pointing to it? When you click it will drop down to offer you options. For a comprehensive and efficient app development project, it’s often a wise choice to work with app development companies that have a proven track record of delivering successful mobile applications.

The fabulous mesh costume from JRC makes me think so much of Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil, who casts the spell on Sleeping Beauty. The dress is actually named Nosferata to conjure the image of a vampire, but I think a vampire queen could be Mistress of All Evil, too. And of course, that makes me think of the wonderful Eartha Kitt performance of “I Want to Be Evil.”
I’ve posed for pictures with Iv’ry Soap, I’ve petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender But I’m noted most for my unspoiled gender I’ve been made Miss Rheingold, though I never touch beer, And I’m the person to whom they say, “Your sweet, My Dear.” The only etchings I’ve seen have been behind glass, And the closest I’ve been to a bar, is at ballet class.
I love how the draping and highlighting of the mesh texture give this gown the feeling that even though its made of latex, it’s fluid in its movements.
Prim and proper, the girl who’s never been kissed, I’m tired of being pure and not chased. Like something that seeks it’s level I wanna go to the devil.
The dress is cut dangerously high, so unless you are a bit of exhibitionist, you will need to find a thong that covers the essentials. The fetish thong from Ezura worked well. Although this is a standard shape, I did have to make a minor adjustment. I wore it to some DJ sets and danced and found that my knee would poke through. By changing my shape to make my knees just ever so slightly knock-kneed, that stopped happening and I was able to dance just fine. The shoes are N-Core’s Pinup pumps in red, echoing the rich red lining of the skirt.
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
This can be worn with or without the crown. It also comes with skin and a makeup mask tattoo, but I left them off in favor of the freakishly frightening Demon makeup for PXL Creations Halloween Gacha.
I want to wake up in the morning
with that dark brown taste
I want to see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more that that I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,
Just to see my partner’s face.
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
I confess that when I first saw this skin, I didn’t like it. It was just too out there for me. But when I put it on with this costume, I thought it was perfect – capturing the idea of evil hiding next to the facade of beauty – must more frightening.
And in the theatre
I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on
Everybody’s feet
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
And whatever I’ve got I’m eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be

Gogo has been up to something, you can see it in her eyes! She’s revamped the I Heart SL feed in order to bring it into compliance with Google’s® policies. This change makes her feed Safe For Work and family-friendly. You can browse with the kidlets on your lap and don’t have to switch screens when your granny walks by. To do this, she has removed all her feed’s blogs and everyone must reapply for inclusion. Gogo will be adding instructions soon, but according to her plurks she is away from her house and folks are curious about what to do. So I hope this helps.
