Music Mondays - 3 AM

      We are visiting the 90's again this Monday with a little Matchbox 20. There will probably be a lot of 90's tunes during this fun little exercise because that was when I was a teenager so there are a lot of memories attached to some of these songs. There is no special connection to this one though, I just like it.

      It may be hard to see, but the clock on the wall is in fact stuck at 3 AM. As you can also see there is are a few bits of the lyrics I chose to focus on. Again you can always head over to Youtube to check out the actual video, which was not much of a source of inspiration this week. 

      I just wanted to let you have an extra picture of my in something a little sexy. My vanity is showing today and that's okay. Hope you have a great week and see you again next Monday with another song!

Broken Tea Party

      Have you ever had an idea for a picture and as you start getting ready for it it goes in a completely different direction? That is what happened this time. You see it was going to be a cute little post featuring my obsession with macarons in SL. I have a collection, it's not embarrassing at all. Then as I was setting it up it took a turn toward the darker side. Here have a look for yourself....

      It seems the only things not...damaged at this tea party at the pot, cup and treats. Even the bats have lost their color! For the record I also have an inordinate amount of tea pots and cups is SL. No I am not a hoarder, I am a collector, there is a difference. Here look at my cute little broken face.

      Someone needs to come along and fix all of us broken things.

Sugar Plum Guardian

      Every year around this time I read The Nutcracker, I have read it since I was younger and got it as a gift from my parents. I still read it to the girl child even though she has been able to read for quite some time now. With the new Nutcracker move that has come out it got me thinking. Well also the outfit from Schadenfreude got me thinking too. I was going to do the much expected ballet type photos, but that seemed to obvious so I came up with these.

    

  I figured the realm where the Sugar Plum fairy lives would have to be guarded some how. Sure it could be guarded by more Nutcrackers, but I think a staff wielding ballerina fairy is cooler. There she is guarding the portal that will lead to the lands of the Sugar Plum Fairy. I am pretty sure her staff can blind you with sprinkles, jimmies, shots, it whatever they are called where you call home.

   
      I wouldn't want to mess with her so make sure before you try entering the lands of the Sugar Plum fairy you have a proper invitation, or else you may be seeing rainbows for the rest of your mortal life.

Decorations Galore

      Today's adventures bring us to the Decorations Workshop. Here the elves work on creating all the decorations needed to make the season bright. The sheer amount of tinsel in this workshop was terrifying, mostly because I know what my cats would do with it, but that is a whole other story for another day.

      As you can see there are lights and ornaments galore in here, along with some other decorations for a persons home. You see there are some houses that Santa spends a little extra time in because he decorates it for the occupants. I have no idea how he finds the time to do this on top of all the presents he delivers. I asked but he just said it was " Santa Magic". I have a feeling there is more to it than that, but I wasn't about to argue, I did not what to end up on the naughty list!

      I did learn one thing while I was in this workshop, whenever an ornament is set to head off to a family an elf whispers a wish for them into it. Sometimes it's a little something, like having the merriest Christmas, but other times it can be a greater wish. Often this wish comes true, I am not sure if it is elf magic, Santa magic or what, but it works whatever it is. I will see you tomorrow when we visit the Wrapping Workshop.

The Good Witch

      It appears I enjoy using Pop Culture references for my witches and the Good Witch is no exception. If you haven't guessed yet I am talking about Glinda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz movie. You know the old school one with Judy Garland as Dorthy? As with all my witches I changed some things here and there.



      As you can see I put aside my dislike for pink to bring you a pretty pink Good Witch. I also skipped on the bubble traveling, one wrong move of my wand and that sucker would pop, well like a bubble, and I don't feel like hurtling to the ground!



      I am happy it gave me a chance to wear my frog tiara. It may seem weird to some, but in my non-digital life I collect frogs, no living ones though, they would not survive the cats. That is all for today, as you can probably guess I saved the Wicked Witch for you for tomorrow, after all it will be Halloween.
