A day at the lake

I took myself out to a lake for a little rest and relaxation. A little row around in the crisp autumn air on a sunny day is quite invigorating. Once we got to land again I heard the unmistakable sound for frogs, so I thought it would be fun to try and catch one. I happen to love frogs, mini me on the other hand not to much.
She got a little startled by the frog in her face, maybe next time I should start with something small like a red-eyed tree frog. Or maybe take her to see some colorful poison dart frogs.

Young Love

Is there any better animated love story and heartbreaking and awe inspiring as the love between Ellie and Carl in Up? It's rare that an animated movie can make adults weep the way that movie does. I am getting misty eyed just typing this post. I did my best to capture the magic and love between the two, but that seems to be a challenge I can not measure up to.
Of course in Phireworld Ellie can not measure up to Carl. Okay so I am just really short, but hey there is nothing wrong with a little role reversal...right? Before we start a lively debate on that topic, or not so lively, I shall send forth the credits.

Modern Deity

Who wouldn't want to worship a Deity? I mean how casual and cool does she look? The reason I am calling her a Deity is because the skin is from We (heart) Roleplay. Now for the record you don't have to be into roleplay to find something there to tickle your fancy. The skin was named for a goddess so I decided to make a modern goddess of love and fertility. What goddess wouldn't want to wear a mini skirt?  Or maybe it's just how I would dress. I will let you ponder that while perusing the credits.

The Treasure Hunt

It's story times kiddies! It's been a while since I was inspired to do one, but inspiration struck yesterday! I hope you enjoy.

Once day my sweetie told me to meet him at this little cafe. However when I arrived all I was greeted with was a bottle of champagne and a map.

I decided to follow the map to the bridge but I encountered a problem when I got there. How was I going to get to the other side of the island?
I wandered a bit and came across a dock. No one would mind if I borrowed a boat right? I mean I had a treasure map to follow.
When I arrived at the cave I was greeted by my sweetie.
Needless to say I was more than excited about the treasure I found where X marked the spot.

Bump and Grind

A little 50 Shades for your Friday. This is my little Bump and Grind picture. This one was a little hard for me because I am so indecisive sometimes, and this was one of those times. In fact I had three different pictures taken and I had ask a friend which one I should use. So if you don't like this picture blame Lola! It is only a peek at lingerie again this week. Maybe I need to strip down again. Oh wait the next one is Stripped so I guess I will be stripping down. Hope you have a fantastically flirtatious Friday.

A Whole New World

I had to title this post the way I did. I mean look at the first picture for Aladdin and Jasmine. I an not going to admit to how many looks I tried before I settled on this outfit for my Jasmine.
This picture was a total accident. I took one where "Aladdin's" eyes were closed and when I went to take the picture again, my eyes were closed. I hacked them together so that both our eyes were closed. It seems all sweet and loving.

A Little Afternoon Delight

Since this theme was afternoon delight I decided to shoot a couple sneaking off for a little fun. I mean I could have been obvious about it, but I thought I would be subtle for once.
As you can see someone was a little anxious to get to dessert this afternoon.

The Snake Lord and Lady

The latest round of items is out at Genre and the genre this round it Goth. I had some fun with the one, just take a look.

 The Snake Lord and I look pretty fierce don't we? Okay I look fierce and he looks totally disinterested. I should be insulted that he isn't checking out all the leg action I have going on there.

At least now he is looking at me. We do make a fantastic looking couple don't we. Well I mean  in that reptilian sort of way.

LOTD - Purple

This look started off innocently enough with the tank top. Then my wanna be bad ass side came out to play. It doesn't happen unplanned all that often, but when it does it goes full out. I ended up running out to buy the earrings because nothing I had seemed to fit. I did have everything else on hand though. See alone none of it is tough looking, but put it all together and BOOM...badassedness. Yeah I know it's not a real word, lets just pretend okay? Here are the credits so you can get your badass on!

Oh and here is a completely vain shot too because I really like it.

Music to Me

When I put on this shirt the music begged to be played. Sadly I have no real skills but at least with guitar in hand I can fake it.

However I don't think faking it till I make it is a good idea on this one. I don't think the neighbors would be too thrilled with my musical attempts. Perhaps I should seek help from someone with more knowledge and skills...

No, I don't have the blues, I am just wearing some. This has become my new quick change outfit. You know the one you toss on so you can run out and grab something from a store when you don't want to go naked, or umm in unique looks. I can't be the only one who does this..... right?

Juniper Breeze

It is another week and here I am playing catch up. Hopefully by the end of this week I will be all caught up one my colors....maybe.

You can see there the title came from can't you? Okay fine so I stole the title from a candle scent, it still works. The scene reminds me of the places around me house in RL in the later days of Summer, just before the chill of Autumn sets in.

And here you can see it from the front and not just a gratuitous shot of my bum(covered as it is).

Bittersweet-ness

There is almost a bittersweet-ness to this picture and I am not talking solely of the color this time. I really do love it when I take a picture like this completely by accident of clicking.

Well that is one week of catch up down, one week (think school week) to go! See you back here with more colors on Monday.

An evening of reading

While the southern hemisphere is preparing for the warm weather I usually associate with summer, I am getting ready for the cold winter nights. I mean we have already had our first school canceling snowfall! One of my favorite things to do on the cold winter nights is to curl up in the sofa in front of a fire and read. That is if I can light a fire, since most of the time it is actually really warm due to the downstairs neighbor (they crank their heat).

The only thing missing from the picture is a cup of tea, hot chocolate or coffee, depending on the evening. Here is a better look at what I am wearing.....

Spider's Feast

The spider lurks in the shadows waiting for an unsuspecting victim to wander down the path. She waits patiently knowing some poor fool will soon come along and she can bring food home to her hungry spiderlings.

Finally a foolish human man wanders down the path. The spider slowly makes her way through the trees quiet as a whisper as to not arouse suspicion. She creeps up behind him, catching him unaware, his fate already sealed....

She bounds him in her silky thread and brings him home to her awaiting brood. He never knew what happened to him and neither did the people of his town.....

Now how about a better look the the spider in this brief tale?

Mean Hunter Green

I was going to so a "fun" shot for this week, but sadly RL demanded my time. Instead you get two pictures, and when you see them the title will make even more sense, I mean aside from it being this weeks color.

I know I know there is nothing mean looking about that picture, but I said there were two....

Don't I look kinda mean, or at least REALLY mad?I swear I am a generally nice and happy person, just don't ask the kids...they are biased.

A lazy week

To do this week
1. Eat breakfast
2. Blog a little
3. Drink some coffee...it makes the headaches go away
4. Rest on the bed
5. Gaze of into the distance thinking about absolutely nothing
6. Sit on the floor and watch...just about anything
7. Dress as comfortably as humanly possible

Yeah I have lofty goals this week. Oh well at least I am comfy and the clothes actually mimic my RL weather this week. Even the rainbows since we saw a big vibrant one yesterday, much to my daughter's delight.

Morning me time

Nothing like starting the day with a little me time. Today will start with some morning sunrise yoga, since I have the perfect outfit for it.

Of course after a workout it's time to cool down and what better way than with a glass of ice cold lemonade, perfect for a warm early summer morning.

And well since it is such a nice day it would be a shame to spend it in doors, so that means it's time to pull out the glossy mags and read all about that latest fashions, and pretend I can be trendy.

Choices

Sometimes in life we come to a crossroads where we have to make a choice.


Sometimes procrastinating is the easiest choice to make.


But really you should find your path to happiness


Whether that is picking flowers in a field


Or something silly like flying a paper airplane


Or even just spending time gazing at the stars


Whatever it is that makes you happy you should do (I mean so long as it's fairly legal). Time for the credits so I stop sounding all self helpy and new agey.
