Breakthrough

I hate running. That is just a lil secret between me and you. Shhhhh... Don`t tell anyone.
I have been running for about 2 years now and never enjoyed it at all, until today. I found my mind empty, my lungs easily sucking in the wonderful city air and my feet barely touching the ground.
I felt what other runners have described and it took me two damn years to do it.
If you are like me and hate running, keep at it. Maybe you wont be as slow as me to break through and you are probably not as slow as me at running either, but no matter!
It is my breakthrough and I stand by it.

So today in SL... I met a peacock on a beach!
I did line up the perfect shot with him but a huuuuge couple landed and had a delightful argument in local chat and I lost the shot when I had to zoom in and derender their avatars.

Do you like my eyeshadow? I do!
This palette is called "Magical", its by Booty`s Beauty and will be available this weekend.
The prettiest I have ever seen, for sure.

I hope you all had a lovely Valentines day. I know I did. Free from material gifts, just a nice snuggle on the couch with my handsome dude watching Pirates of the Caribbean 5.

It didn't impress me, but that is okay. It doesn't have to impress me, it kept me off the streets and out of mischief for a couple of hours and that is enough to ask of any movie.

Show a Bit of Leg!

Check out this stunning kimono, its a free gift from .:: Cremosas Store ::. , one of many they have so generously provided for group members.
Here is the Linky so you can go see for yourself.

Today`s makeup:

Eyes: Savannah Eyeshadow

Lips: Mimosa

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I took a nice stroll though the local graveyard, decluttered a ton of crap and did some batch cooking for the month ahead.
After all that I deserved a sit-down so I started reading Highest Duty by the wonderful Captain Sully.

Song of the Day

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Unicorn Whisperer

They say only a virgin can catch a unicorn, so my chance passed by over a decade ago, but Backdrop City has some tame ones to pose with, if you are not scared of a big spike or three...
Personally, I was more worried about getting their pristine white fur all mashed up with grubby fingerprints. Do Unicorns have fur? Or is their velvety coating called something else?

Yes I know I am wearing antlers not a unicorn horn. Guess I just aint the horny type, mkay?

 

By now you know me well enough to realize I am not good with critters or too much nature.
Dogs, Cats and metallic sardines are exotic enough for my tastes. Sparrows and gutter parrots are cool too.

I am halfway through re-reading Full Dark House by Christopher Fowler.
His books are the best, the very very best. Be good to yourself, go get one, or all of them. You will be glad you did. Thank me later.

Makeup and Eyes by Booty`s Beauty of course, coz she my buddykins and stops me getting boring and dull looking.

Pucker Up

My favorite makeup look EVER is over-lined lips.
Wayyy before that chick that got those gross lip injections and said it was clever lipstick, whatever her name was... In fact, the first time I saw overlined lips was on the regal Naomi Campbell back in the 90`s when I was nowt but a nipper.

I was overjoyed to find these Framed Lipsticks by Booty`s Beauty 

Paired with a lovely smokey eye from her Savannah eyeshadow palette and I am off to go find some nice urban grungy places to explore. Fridays are not a day for bucolic paradise, Fridays are for High-Rise Hell, broken concrete and some trash blowing in the wind wouldn't hurt either.

Cya all tomorrow, if I survive!

The Very Best at Being Bad

The stunning and fabulous Ghost is a lifelong friend in both RL and SL.

It is so rare to find her in human form (when she is human, she always looks bad-ass and slightly dangerous) so I couldn't pass up this chance to grab her, coax her hourglass-butt on to a pose stand and capture the moment forever.

Its just as well I did because less than hour later she was back in her beautiful, translucent phantom form, floating ethereally around a gravestone.

Here are the credits for our Bad-Girl good looks!

Sick of the Cyclops?

She put up a fight....


She tried to fly away...

But they caught her in the end and took her to her home planet. She won`t be bothering you for a while!

Fins are the New Fangs!

I have really loved the past few days escape underwater exploring the Blake Sea... Oh My it is a busy place... So far I have been bashed into by a speedboat, landed on by 3 Bots at once and followed by a rather agressive "lady" that wanted me to be her pet. Yikes.

It is a lovely place to swim though and most people are friendly.

I relaxed under the waves while reading the new book my dear Granny sent me; a copy of Wild Chamber by Christopher Fowler.

I adore his work and have read everything except this and PaperBoy so it will be an enjoyable weekend for me, curled up safe from the cold weather lost in the welcoming, mysterious world of these two elderly Detectives. Bryant is my favorite fictional character EVER, and coming from me, thats saying a lot coz I do love to read.

If you like books about mystery, crime, London or simply need a great laugh provided by one of the most brilliant authors in the world, you should check out the Bryant and May series, like, NOW.

It got me to thinking how much I wish there were elderly avatars in secondlife. Its dull when everybody appears to be in their 20s.
I intend for my avatar to age as I do.

In a skin-deep world it would be fascinating to see and I bet if I met an elderly avatar I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off them! Lets hope I can find that out one day!

That Cyclops Style!

Below the cut is nudity. Non-pornographic, parody, humorous nudity. This is a fair warning so don`t bother crying to me that you had to clutch your pearls and faint theatrically if you choose to go and look.

He never fails to surprise me...

To look at him, you wouldn't think so, but he is a great lover of art and has a ridiculous sense of humor.

He dresses like any other engineer, in blue overalls, rigger boots and a hi viz vest... oops sorry Heath and Safety standards I mean *On Site High Visibility Personal Protective Wear* and he has the most brilliant mind I have ever known.

The best part of my day is when his smiling face appears at the end of the garden path. He arrived home just as I finished the photo below and I asked him if he knew what it was supposed to be and without pause he replied: "Yeah! It`s the Birth of Venus innit! By that Bottled Cherry Artist! I like that one!

I didn't ask if he likes lots of early renaissance artwork, or just this painting because of the pretty naked lady in the picture but it DID make me grin so big that my teefs almost fell out.

I was grinning again 2 days minutes later when he strolled in with a small jar of Opies Cocktail Cherries saying that he had the picture in mind when he bought them.






















It makes a lovely desktop wallpaper if you click to download it full size!

Monster High Styles... All Grown Up!

I come from a big, busy, loud family. As the only trad housewife in the family, that means lots and lots and lots of babysitting for me, which suits me just fine!

After a hilarious day of looking after a rowdy rabble of 5-9 yr olds I was left with crayon marks to clean up, a new scar on my forehead and a battered looking, lost Frankie Stein doll in my kitchen sink, which got me to thinking, what would these freaky fashionistas look like all grown up?

Can you tell which photo is which character?

Feelin` Futuristic

 Although I have never been a big fan of Sci-Fi there have been a select few books which captured my eye, attention and heart.

Right now, I am re-reading Metallic Love. As much as I like a new story, what I really need and want is the same old stories, read over and over again.

The rich descriptions got me in the mood for this futuristic Holo dress and Rainbow hair.

Upper Class Goth

While clearing out my inventory I found this amazing cross headpiece and it gave me the inspiration I needed to create this simple gothic style.

The first time I went to a goth club I was 14. I wore a white lace dress and gold hoop earrings, but those amazing and romantic people took me to their midnight velvet clad bosoms.
They helped me find my own style (minimal military-style industrial, for those of you with inquiring minds!) but socially, I will always be a goth, even if I cannot enjoy wearing the lace and velvet with the same elegant grace as my friends.

Secondlife Shopping!

Yesterday was Friday and Fridays usually mean one thing.... Shopping!

I enjoyed the whole day running around SL looking for unusual outfits and shoes, until I was interrupted by screeching tires outside. 

There was a very drunk woman driving a car in loops out on the icy road. A peek out of the window showed my favorite neighbor calling the cops and it was a real joy to watch the dumb ass getting arrested by two very good looking police officers.

After the dramatics outside in the Real World, I was glad to go back to shopping. I found this very fun pose for just 1L$ from QStyle
