Always Tulips, Never Roses

        Everyone has something they prefer, when it comes to flowers it's always tulips and never roses. I just don't care for roses, nor do I care for diamonds. Yes I wear diamonds, but the ones I wear have sentimental value. In my digital life that dislike doesn't carry over as much. You see in my digital life I don't have to smell the roses (not a scent I am a fan of), no do I feel uncomfortable in diamonds in my digital life.


      While roses don't bother me in my digital life I will always pick them up whenever I see them being sold.

Wicked Witch

      Happy Halloween all you ghosts and ghouls and other things that go bump in the night. Today I am finishing off my witchy series with The Wicked Witch. As with the Good Witch I used The Wizard of Oz as one of my references for the Wicked Witch.



      As you can see I went with the classic green Wicked Witch skin, though I did skip the chin hairs and warts on the nose. It appears even as a Wicked Witch I still have vanity issues. Also with a name like Phire, you knew my witchy self had to toss around some fireballs, it's just too fitting.


      I am not going to bore you with a lot of talk today, I will be back to normal, well normal for me posts next week. Till then have a Happy Halloween and a great rest of the week!

Making Cookies

I make a lot of cookies around the holidays, some I don't need a recipe for because they are either really easy or I have made them enough times. Everyone has their own favorite, my kids really like peanut butter blossoms and we always make sugar cookies so they can have fun decorating them.

Sometimes when I am baking I misplace my recipe. It takes talent because they are usually printed off on a sheet of regular sized paper, but I tend to move it out of the way and then cover it will all the flotsam and jetsom of baking.

Then comes the waiting. Waiting for them to finish baking, waiting for the timer to sound and waiting for them to cool off so I can eat them! That song was right waiting is the hardest part.

When all is said and done though I can treat myself to some hot chocolate and a freshly baked cookie or twelve. This the season for indulging right?

Playing with Patterns - Stripes

I think this may be my favorite look of the week, and there is still one more to go tomorrow. There is just something about the black and white and grays of this look that speaks to me. Of course while I was working on the credits I realized that the skirt and shoes are no longer available, but I am sure you could come up with your own stripey look.

I'm on a boat!

In Phire fantasy land I was invited onto a yacht. Of course I said yes, I mean who wouldn't right?

At first I was a little nervous. I mean I am a decent swimmer, but I didn't exactly have my sea legs.

 Well we busted out the champagne and that is when I started to loosen up. Yeah I think I just called myself loose. Oh well, no real shame in that.

Well okay the look on my face in this picture could be considered cause some shame, but does anyone really look fabulous when laughing like a loon? This could be why my friends don't let me out of my skybox often.....

An angel, fairy and demon walk into a bar

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but it's not it's the beginning to a bad Phire story. Wait my stories aren't bad! Here we go.....


Once there was a Blue Angel, a Purple Fairy and a Red Demon who decided they needed a night out so they headed to The Volcano Room. The Red Demon spotted a man sitting at the bard and decided they should have a little fun and see who could get the man to head home with them. Red the Demon loved to seduce humans so she figured it would be a cake walk. First up with Blue the Angel.


She took the approach of remaining aloof thinking that the man would easily want what it seemed he couldn't have. He eyed her up and down, but never really got up the courage to approach her. Next to try their luck was Purple the Fairy. She thought maybe cutting a rug with the man would be a good idea.


She had a blast dancing with the man and being close to him. Oh course she was too stunning to look at so the photographer completely forgot to photo her with the man. Finally it was Red's turn to take her spin with the man. She chose to do what she does best, drink with him.


Again the photographer was so entranced by her erm...assets that the man was left out of the shot yet again. I may have to fire the photographer. Sadly he didn't get a picture of who the man went home with either. I mean who could chose from all the beauties? Who would you choose?

Sleepovers

First off let me say that I love Sakura for putting up with the random whims I get. This post happens to be one of those random whims.
What a guy thinks happens at a sleep over:


It all starts with a lingerie clad pillowfight and of course that leads to....


...the making out of the sleep over participants. Well fellas I hate to burst your bubble but you know what really happens? First we talk about boys....and it is not always nice, if I am being perfectly honest.


Then we talk about all the other people we hate and/or know gossip about.....other Plurkers perhaps?


Tre scandalous! Only teasing, but for the all lingerie, pants and shirts worn head over to the Amira Love Gatcha event and for little Lindens you can look like us :D

Meow? No, Miao!

It's Miao day here on the blog! No I am not talking about kitties, I am talking about Miao the shop. See the Great and Powerful Kess (she is the wizard after all) has rebanded as Miao and has some great offerings at the Jewelry Fair. Above is the Ariella's Heart necklace and earrings (sold separately). As you would expect from Kess at this point all the bits are texture change, as are the other pieces she has at the fair. I would figure out how many combinations there are, but that requires math and well, no , just no. Right then pretty stuff go buy Kess is a wizard.

Any excuse to strip down

Sometimes I just get into one of those moods when I don't feel like wearing pants. Luckily there was some new underwear to be had. The undie sets here are part of a collaboration between [bubble] and MiaSnow. You really need to check out the skins that are made to go with the undies!


As you can see there are a few colors choices, and styles. Each set comes with a corset, panties, bra and shorties. Poor Lola had to go out so I tried to take advantage of her and drag her to my bed. It didn't work out so well.

A night out on the town

There is nothing better for a night out on the town then a sexy little dress and some killer heels. Granted I may only get to dress like that in SL (babysitters are not cheap!) but it's just as fun, and less work.


This sexy little number is the newest release from Pixel Mode as are my fabulous nails. Even though I don't wear them in my posts that often I have a serious prim nail addiction. Maybe it is because I love having long painted nails in RL. The nails have glitter polish on them and come with a HUD so you can change the colors, or go for a simple glitter free french manicure. Seriously though were is the fun in plain? Oh and it comes with so mant gloves to match many skins and a tintable pair to match up to your favorite. It was a piece of cake to match it to my skin.


The dress is available with three different top styles, the animal print (shown in snow leopard), satin (in gold) and leather(in black). To be fair to all of you who like things on all layers I should tell you that this dress only comes with the pant and jacket layers and of course the skirt prim, but seriously that shouldn't stop you for getting it.

Big, Curvy, voluptuous...

...call it what you want. Last night I decided to peruse the feeds before calling it a night and I saw a few post referring to a new blogger challenge. I am a sucker for a challenge so I had to check it out. Make a big AV look cure, well shoot I can do that right. Well since I like to think I look cute most of the time I just dressed how I would normally.

I decided to embrace the cooler weather and wore a cute sweater from Truth. The only modding I had to do was make the scarf a little bigger to work with my erm bigger sweater meat. The only other thing that needed modding were the boots since as a bigger girl I have bigger calves. Who would have thought. I had to wear the boots because they are my latest obsession.
