A New Direction

      Sometimes sentiment leads a person to hold onto something for too long. That is the case with this blog. It was started as a place for two best friends to share their looks and styles and story telling. When it became just me writing and posting all the time I should have moved on, but I didn't. Well this year is all about change and moving on for me so it only seems fitting that it is time for me to move on to my own blog. My new blog is called Phire Within, of course it had to be a play on words because those are one of my favorite things. This is where you will find all my new posts and stories. It is in it's infancy and I am still learning so please bear with me. It's been great fun here, but life moves on. See you over at Phire Within!

Small Town Girl

      When the latest boots from lassitude & ennui were released at We <3 Roleplay I had ideas of pairing it with other items from there. However others had the same idea so being the person that I am I went back to the drawing board. As life has it's way of making things hard for me by the time I had the outfit all picked out my hands decided that was time to start acting up. Yay auto-immune nonsense. Luckily my Sin came to my rescue and took photos for me. He's better at it than me anyway so it was really a nice silver lining.

      You may see more photos taken by him on the blog here and there as my hands go through fits of being giant balls of ache, but I will always tell you when he did the work. I won't take credit for something someone else has done.

And It Begins Anew

      For humans Valentine's Day may be in the rear view mirror, but for Cupids it means the beginning of training season for the latest batch of trainees. You see when the world was smaller, I mean less populated and what not one man could do the job. However, now with humans being all spread out and some even taking out cupids, we need to train these little ones faster than ever!

     These little lads and lasses have a mind of their own and need some serious oversight. They like to fly off and shoot their arrows all willy nilly. Luckily they are only given practice arrows that do not have the special "love potion" in them. While the arrows may have no effect on themselves an arrant arrow could be trouble for any mortal it hit.

      These little trainees are a headache to deal with! It is a good thing there is time to get them up to snuff before next Valentine's Day!

Who Is In Charge

      There are times I get all dressed up and have no idea the kind of photo I want to take. That is when I get a little help from my friends. In fact you can just make out his silhouette there in the foreground.  Is he sitting there waiting for me to come over as called? Maybe he is sitting there because I told him to. That is up to you to determine for yourself. Only we know the true story behind the photo. Isn't that the fun of photography and art, it can be seen in different ways by each individual person. 

      And here I am all up close and personal so you can see the details of my look. I hope you have a wonderful and please let me know how you saw the first picture!

Springtime Wishes

      I don't think I am the only one who is ready for spring to be here. I always look forward to the blossoming flowers and the spring showers. And bubbles! For some reason even though I know the science part of bubbles, they have always seemed magical to me. Maybe it is the iridescent shine to them, or how they float gently in the air, but possibly it is the whimsical nature of bubbles that I enjoy? Either way I could while away the day happily blowing bubbles and watch them float off until they pop. Here is a picture with bubbles so I stop yammering on about them and make you all think I am off my nut.

      I think I am going to cut this one short before I go on and on about the joyful nature of bubbles and all things springtime and childlike.

Cute But Deadly

      We may look all cute, but we are a pair of deadly ladies! My favorite bunny Aura was roped into taking pictures with me. Okay so she really just had to stand there looking cute while I took more pictures than needed as usual. For some reason I got this idea of two cute ladies just being beasts at a shooting range. Maybe it's because I haven't been to one in a while...Anyway I gave Aura the outfit to wear and she did all the rest herself. Here is a look at something other than her bunny bum.

      This little bunny could totally take out Mr. McGregor should she get caught in his garden. Okay yes I know that last line was a reach, but could you imagine a cute little bunny just wasting him? No? I am the only one with a twisted mind like that? Well then lets carry on and pretend that never happened.

      And here I am a cute little bear with the heads of my victims attached to my gun. I am only kidding I could never take out a cute little teddy bear. Well unless it came to life and was a murderous monster, then that b*tch would be going down! I am getting way off track with this so I am going to stop here and move onto the credits.

Making Room For Something New

      It's time for THE PURGE! I don't mean the movies (which I have never seen), but an inventory one. It's time to make room for all the new things in life and let some of the old go. Yes that is totally a metaphor for life. It seems 2020 is the year of deep thoughts for me. Fret not, for I am sure it won't last long. In fact I know it won't! 

      I have been on a big cleaning and sorting and organizing binge lately. Clearing away the old and the clutter helps me think clearer in both worlds. Of course cleaning up my SL inventory is way easier, I can box things up and not have to worry about where to store it, there is no hauling stuff to the trash bins, or donation centers. Just a few clicks of a button and poof all sorted. Oh well at the end of the day life moves on and we should be willing to as well. Enough of my waxing philosophical I will see you again soon, with something a little less deep.
