That Couple

     Here in the States it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend. You know the day we honor those who, have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, by having parades and cook outs. It inspired me to do a little photo shoot. There is at least one couple in every neighborhood who are so into themselves as a couple that they wear matching outfits and basically ignore anyone else around them. They are usually a younger couple, but the age can range. Here is an example of such a couple.

      As you can see by the way they stare at one another they are soooo in love. They are even ignoring their own child who is sucking on a lemon and near meltdown mode. I myself have never been one of those couple, unless maybe a couples costume at Halloween counts? 

      At least they are a cute couple if I do say so myself. It doesn't hurt that the matchingness was yellow my favorite color. Onto the credits which are stupid long today.

Party Girls!

I am not a nightclub kind of girl, I am more of a local bar kinda gal. That being said I have agreed to go to clubs with friends in the past, when I was younger of course. The only kinda club you would see me hitting now would be the sandwich kind. I will hit up a "club" in my digital life, but that is mostly to listen to music and pretend I am social. Why am I admitting all this? Well it's because of today's post.

As you can plainly see you are partying it up with laser lights! Woohoo! Or maybe we are just using a background and are actually at my house. You will never know...until you read the credits. We do look pretty cute if I do say so myself, and I do.

We just need some drinks in out hands to make the look complete. At least I want a drink, maybe a nice refreshing gin and tonic.

Rubies and Cat's Eye

      Today I am bringing you a dress that I picked up at the Fantasy Faire, which has sadly faded back into the mists. You see I chose this dress because the colors reminded me of Kashmiri rubies and Cat's Eye. As with some of my purchases there is a personal connection to these two pretties. I won't bore you with the details today.



      As much as I would love to go into detail about every little thing, I am feeling a bit under the weather so you get a picture heave post with few words. Here is a closer look at the jewelry and pretty things.

Thoughtful Spot

      I tried to think of a much better title, but as usual by brain is fried. I have just finished (mostly) with moving so things are in a state of disarray. I will quite with the whining because I look to pretty, in my opinion, to be whining. Take a look for yourself...



      I love the way the this whole look turned out that I haven't changed it yet. My face sort of reminds me of Kira from The Dark Crystal, which I am totally down with. Here have a closer look.


      So maybe you are wondering to yourself how you too can get this look. Well first you need the credits, then you need to hit up We ♥ Roleplay, and other stores. I know you only really want the credits list. If you have any questions feel free to IM me in-world (Phire Zuhra).

A Pirate Story Part Two

            When Morgana woke up the following morning she found a beautiful gown draped next to her. She has no idea who is was from or who had spotted her, but since it covered her much more than what she was wearing she put it on. Once dressed she spotted a ship in the cove below her, it felt like ages since she had been the captain of her own vessel.

           She lusted after the ship terribly and was lost to her own thoughts. She was staring dreamily at the ship as a stranger approached. He said to her, "I see you are staring at my ship.", needless to say this startled her greatly as she did not hear his approach.

               He didn't let on that he knew her to be the much famed Captain Morgana, but all good pirates knew who she was. He invited her to join him on his ship. Having few options available to her and with much caution she decided to join him. They sailed far from the archipelago that had caused her so much grief. She taught him how to be a feared but just pirate as they sailed the seas together. Overtime they took their fortune and sailed off into the sunset, putting their pirating days behind them.

Jukebox Blues

Sure when I am in the mood for some music there is nothing worth playing. This joint needs a little musical intervention.

When my date finally arrives we are so ditching this place and finding somewhere more in line with me. None of this hipster music or artisan beer. What happened to rock on the jukebox and a good 'ol lager. I don't want blueberry in my beer, if I wanted fruit I would damn well eat it! We will head to a real dive bar and not this ironic wanna be. Enough of my rant.

Natural Retreat

There is just so many wonderful creations to be had at the Fantasy Faire that getting them all in before it closes it proving hard! Today I thought I would show you a sexy little number mixed with some of the home and garden items that can be had. I was going to try and write something pretty and poetic but words are failing me.

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you I am in fact wearing pink. I am also wearing pretty shiny jewelry, which totally makes up for the pinkness. Behind me you can see an all natural hanging seat. It's like being a seed in a pod.

I also had to get a shot of the back of the outfit, which also gave me a lovely view of the pond. I am s sucker for ponds. I won't admit to how many I have because it may make me blush. in the pictures you can see the supports of the gazebo that I am sheltered under. A lady doesn't want to get too much sun, it can be bad for you.
