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.

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.

I am Predictable

      I swear I tried not to go with the obvious choice, in fact I was thinking water or ice, but sometimes we can't deny who we are. I am Phire and I will always have a strong draw to fire. What am I talking about you may be asking yourself, or not, I'm not a mind reader. Well you see at We <3 Roleplay right now there are elemental tops, that happen to match the elemental pants from lassitude & ennui. There were options for elements and I was going to go with something icy, but it was not meant to be.  Instead I embraced my inner fire and well, here have a look.

      If you couldn't guess I had a little fun with this one. Fireballs and candles and so much red. It's a good thing I can only wield fireballs in the digital world, because I have a feeling I would keep the firefighters busy otherwise.

Awkward Holiday Card Season

      It's one of my favorite things of the holiday season, the family photo holiday cards. There are some that are just a collage of things the family did in the year, but then there are the gems. You know the kind, the posed happy family ones in matching outfits. I love those so very much for their awesome awkwardness. You always end up having to choose the least worst, because they are never actually good. Here is my own version of said family card.


      I don't do photo holiday cards personally because I am terribly at taking pictures when we are doing something, and everyone in the house hates how they look in pictures. I instead send out two different kinds of holiday cards, a "normal" one for family, and a crazy fun one for friends. That is all for now. Keep checking back as I will have some posts set to auto-post the next couple of weeks. Yay holidays!

A Tuneful Tuesday - White Christmas

      This week we are doing a Tuneful Tuesday, mostly because I was having a bad day yesterday and couldn't focus long enough to write my usual Music Monday post. It is the holiday season after all and may of us are busy with all the things that come with that. In a twist of fate, or my subconscious doing it's thing I did dream about snow last night...and how much I don't miss it. So aside from random dreams I an not actually dreaming of a white Christmas, no matter how many Christmas cards I write.


      Hey look I finally got a handle on using depth of field. I know I am late to the game, but this is the first time it actually looks right. I know it's a silly thing to be excited about, but I have been trying foe ages! Hopefully next week I will be back to the usual Monday postings and I have a few random ones for the coming weeks. Now to get to work while you peruse the credits.

Leaves

      When I was in elementary school I believed all sorts of things, from the usual kid stuff to some pretty out there stuff. One of the things I believe was if you caught a leaf before it hit the ground you got your wish. I am almost positive that it is just something my wild imagination made up, but there I was waiting for the bus trying to caught all the leaves I could as they drifted down from the trees. I can't even remember what I was wishing for as the leaves fell so many years ago, but I was reminded of my childhood beliefs when I was taking this picture.

      I may have out-grown wishing on falling leaves, but I will never out-grow my love for Fall. The sights, sounds and tastes will never leave my memories, even if the leaves don't change like the did up North.

The Gatherer

      Now just because Halloween is over doesn't mean witches magically disappear from the world. However this has nothing to do with witches, but more to do with those who are seen as witches. Just because a woman wears long skirts and is seen in the forest gathering mushrooms, apples, and other things the wood provide she is seen as a witch by the townspeople. In all reality she is just doing what all the women in her family have done. Using what nature provides to heal all sorts of aches and pains. 

      Now does she look like the type of person you would think of as a witch? Of course not! She just has been educated on the healing powers of herbs and such. I mean maybe you could call her a healer, but not all witches are healers and not all healers are witches. I am rambling, which means I should finish this post. I will say I am not a gatherer, especially of mushrooms because I think they are fairly gross when cooked.

Music Mondays - Play That Song

     This week we are popping back a more current song choice, Play That Song by Train. I have always been in awe of anyone who could play a musical instrument. I have zero talent in that department, but seem to be drawn to people who can. We all have our quirks right?



    This post makes me want to have one of my favorite people play some music for me. Hopefully they know who they are. Anyway, I figured I would do something brighter since last week was a little dark, in more ways than one! And since I figured adding a picture of the "looks" was a good idea here are this weeks.


     I will be back again next week with another song, and as always, if you have a song suggestion I am all ears.

Music Mondays - Hate Myself For Loving You

Growing up I was a big fan of Joan Jett. In fact I used to drive my older sisters crazy but singing "I Love Rock & Roll" all the time. For the record I was four and it was their fault for intoducing me to her. So that being said it should come as no surprise that I have at least one Joan Jett song of my Music Mondays rotation.

Just in case you are wondering I did not pick this song thinking about someone specific. I think there is at least one time in our lives we regreted the feelings we had for someone. I was feeding off of that place. Since this photo is on the dark side, lighting wise I mean, I decided to take another shot to show you what I am wearing a little better. This is the point in this whole project that I realized it might be a good idea.

I don't look nearly as badass and brooding when the lights are turned back on.

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!

Wrong Choice

      They did say the cricket was for luck, I should have listened. At least I have my bead of jade for beauty. If you haven't figured it out I am referencing Mulan. When I saw the red animesh dragon from lassitude and ennui at The Ark i instantly thought of Mushu from Mulan. I wanted to go for a more modern look for Mulan, while still being me. The dragon will circle around you so maybe he is a good guardian, I mean he can't be any worse than Mushu right?

No Pumpkin Spice Lattes Here

      Fall is my absolute favorite season, it's when I can start wearing sweaters and cute boots. Well it used to be, now I refer to fall as "the dulling". You see I grew up in New England, but moved south where the trees only seem to turn a dull shade of green in the fall/winter. I have learned that you can take the girl out of New England, but you can't take the New England out of the girl. In my non-digital life there are scented candles that smell like an apple orchard, apple cinnamon and crisp fall leaves with a hint of dried hay. That last one I think my brain might just be adding because it fits with memories. Or I am losing it which is possible too. Now that I have blabbered on I will show off my pictures that brought this train of thought to you.

      There are a lot of coffee shops in the state I grew up in that are in converted houses. That means there are rooms all over that are usually decorated seasonally and there is at least one fireplace. Sometimes they are working, others are just there for decoration now. 

      Another thing about these little mom & pop coffee shops is that they don't write your name on the cup so there is never a worry about them butchering your name. Yeah I am looking at you Starbucks!

Wanna Play A Game?

      That's right I have been away for a bit and here I am coming in hot. What can I say it looks like Dark Phire is in charge today. o would you like to play a game? Head I win, tails you lose...your head. Now now no need to be shy, I will even let you pick the coin. 

      What do you mean you don't trust me look? I am as sweet as candy. Haven't you ever heard that looks can be deceiving? Just because I appear naughty doesn't mean I am not nice. Oh, that threat at the beginning, that is just part of the game silly. You have played games before haven't you? There is always a winner and a loser. I promise if you lose I will make it quick and, well not painless, but as little pain as possible. Why are you running away? I really wasn't in the mood for a chase, but I'll let you have a head start. I am in such a generous mood today.

Perfectly Pink

      You are about to witness something as rare, well I am not sure, but something fairly rare. You see today I am wearing, wait for it.....Pink!*cue the gasps and fainting ladies* Now I know there are ladies out there that absolutely adore pink, but I am not one of them. Red hair and pale skin do not make for a lover of pinks. Enough of my words, here is a picture.

      As you can see I have surrounded myself in pink. Luckily the glass of bubbly in my hand makes it all worth it in the end. Why yes there is a theme here, thanks for noticing (just pretend if you didn't)

Wind in my hair

      A couple of weeks ago I asked a friend for a word and I would try to take a picture with said word in mind. He chose the word "windy". I knew there was a bunch few dresses and hairs that make it look like the wind is blowing you stuff all about, but that seemed too obvious. I wanted something a little more subtle and a bit more fun too. I was bopping around pose shops as I am want to do looking for a pose for something else when inspiration hit! A swing! When you are swinging on a swing it creates a wind blowing through your hair effect.



      As you can see there is just a hint of wind blowing through my hair. Mt challenger has not seen these picture yet so hopefully they will be acceptable, if not I will be back with more windy pictures. Oh he did tell me no farts allowed you know breaking wind and all. I have one more picture for you just because I had a lot of fun with this swing prop.

The Broken Hearted

     There she is in the quiet unused corner of her home, everything seeming frozen in time. The cobwebs from the spiders who call this spot home have covered the walls and furniture, yet they never seem to be brushed away. The only thing fresh and new is the rose clutched in her hand as she stares at the cake that would have marked their union.



      While it seems the objects in this corner have remained untouched by time, the forgotten bride has not fared as well. The years show their mark upon her skin, her once flawless skin now wrinkled and marred by age. The heart she once proudly wore as a gift from the man she was to wed now rest against her skin hastily repaired. While the favor from him may have been repaired the heart that once skipped a beat at the sight of him is now in pieces in her chest. Never in her time alone was she able to find anything or anyone that could put those tattered pieces back together.

Beware the girl in the club

      At least once in you digital life you should hit a club or cafe in SL. I ma not saying you have to be all social or anything. You can dance in a corner all by yourself and be quiet as a mouse. A fun thing to do while dancing is profile peeping, you can learn all sorts of things about a person that way. You do have to beware of some girls, they may be super eager to bring you back to her place. Heck you maybe anxious to get back to hers too.



      However you must remember that old saying of buyer beware. While she may look all sweet and cute, she may have a terrifying secret. Maybe she lives with her parents. Possibly it's her roommate that may be the scary factor. Maybe he home is decorated with sad clowns, I know that would be a nightmare situation for me!


      It could just be possible that you will never even make it back to her place. It may not be what is in you pants that she is after. Maybe she wants something more...like your soul!

An Adorable French Dancer

      When I saw the first picture for the Sarina skin from DeeTaleZ for the skin fair I almost immediately thought of Audrey Hepburn in the movie Sabrina. I knew I needed it being a fan of Audrey Hepburn movies. However when I wore it I realized I looked like a different film star from around the same time, Leslie Caron. If you don't know her you can Google her or I can tell you she was in a film called An American in Paris (1951). Gene Kelly was the lead in that one, but she dances too. She is even making appearance in film and movies today.


      In a lot of pictures you can find she has short hair, so that is what I tried to match after I realized I was more Leslie than Audrey. Still the skin makes me feel like a star from the 50's and that isn't a bad deal if you ask me!

Quiet Afternoon

Living in the southern part of the United States I don't have to worry about snow or other wintery nastiness. That means I get to spend more time outside, which is a lovely thing. This is what a typical afternoon would look like, well with a few changes. For starters it would be one of the kids hanging out with me, and they would be drinking something other than coffee. And to be honest I would probably be reading on a Kindle or using a tablet. Okay the girl child and I would be wearing Disney hoodies instead of sweaters, but otherwise it's totally a normal afternoon.
