A day in the desert

Thankfully you did not have to wait as long as before to get a new blogpost from me. This outfit was actually an accident. I logged into another viewer and suddenly wore this although I know I slipped into something else last night. Well I don’t mind because I really like this, so I’ll show it off

I stumbled over this location by accident, so maybe I should have called this the “Accident Post” *grins* I think I’ll show more of this sim in my other blog later.

Hope you like this complete ensemble as much as i do.

I caught your golden gaze

“Red summer skies bright your smile
And could never hide your golden gaze”
(From “Golden Gaze” by Ian Brown)

It’s time again for the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, this week Luna Jubilee has chosen the color “Goldenrod”.

At first I was one of those mourning about that since I can’t remember that i had anything in that specific color. I’m actually surprised how much of a challenge those challenges can really be, I would assume that I could find anything fitting in my already existing huge inventory.

But then, I heard about the Magic of Oz Anniversary Hunt and one of the prizes has been just perfect for it.

So i went on a hunt, digged out a couple of more pieces i found in my inventory and tadaaa, here it is, my goldenrod blogpost.

Autumn Love

So today it is here, the last day of summer. I know that almost everyone of us felt the last weeks like it would be already gone but today it’s official. And tomorrow autum starts. So confession time, if you did not know it already.

I LOVE Autumn well and winter, but until then it is still a bit. I love the chilly weather, the rain, the fog, the changing leaves, everything about autumn. Apart from that my mood can rapidly sink into the cellar a second after I was happy as a fish in the sea. But apart from that this is my season. So in anticipation of the coming weeks I decided to make this a bit more autum-ish.

I really like the Pixel Dreams Sim, my friend Cale has shown me. I featured it already before and i love all those wheat fields giving it an autumn farm feeling with so many different spots to make lovely pictures, with animals, plants, buildings, it is just beautiful. It’s totally worth a look.

There’s a light

“In the velvet darkness of the blackest night
Burning bright, there’s a guiding star
No matter what or who you are.

[...]

The darkness must go down the river of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life.

[...]

There’s a light, light in the darkness of everybody’s life.”

This is not the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I am not Tim Curry in lingery, but I remembered this song today. A very dear friend has a hard time and actually I want to say that not only for my friend, but for everyone feeling down, having a rough time and the like – including myself – that even when it does not look like it, somewhere in this darkness is a light that can shine slightly like coal dying down or burst like a nova. I know that my friends and my RL Partner are those light for me even when i sometimes seem to forget I never do.

So open your eyes and look around, find those little lights and don’t forget, that there’s a light also in your life

I got surprised today when I looked around in SL for a place where I wanted to make my picture. I did actually not plan on the subject but when I found this corner in Lost World by lolmac Shan I remembered the song again I thought of earlier and well it took a life of its own

Make a wish

“According to a Native American legend if anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted.”

This I found last week on a Flickr page of Kaycee Nightfire and the next day I made a pose set for this, that will be available during Project Donate. Even that I try not to use my stuff in my blogposts here, I just had to use one of the poses, because it did fit perfectly into what I wanted to do with this picture.

Today when I logged into SL I’ve got big eyes because I’ve gotten a blogger pack for hair that will be releases during the Hair fair and I had seen a little sneak preview when Mina, the creator, visited me a month ago. I immediately fell in love with all the little daisy flowers all over it. Not too many to bury the hair not too few to get lost in it. So you can tell I was pretty excited after waiting the whole of August for this moment, because I knew exactly how the picture should look like and what I wanted to use – SySy’s Joelle is just perfect for it.

Yay, finally. And I really like how it came out. Of course I made my wish, but only the little butterfly knows which, and it will stay like it until the butterfly will let the Great spirit know about it

OMG Exodi goes so well with MINA

I do not know how you wear skins, if you use only one and are happy over years or if you change them often. I know that from the beginning of my life in SL I was wearing only one skin and i loved it. Then after almost 3 years I thought it could be nice to look around, and I did not have any luck for a long time. Something always did not feel right.

Then not that long after I joined the group of Exodi, Ryker Beck sent a group gift and I peeked through them, thinking that something will not be right again. But i got surprised and I fell in love with the new skin. It had the perfect skin color, make up everything and honestly I loved the cleavage *laughs* So it came that after 3 years in a skin I adored i changed for an Exodi skin.

Now you can maybe imagine how close I was to faint when I got this preview pack today from items that will be released, sold, given away in two days for their amazing and exciting :: Exodi :: & :.WoE.: Isolde Skin & Sim Launch Party.

There is way too much you can get to show it all here, from skins, bikinis, underwear, eyes during a Gatcha Hunt, Fishing, raffles and much much more. “FOUR skins will be completely free this coming Tuesday, and another will be in the Exodi Gacha machines, all in addition to the 15 release skins!”

Prizes from Exodi and WoE will be given out and of course you can combine this with an awesome shopping tour.

But here a little… actually tiny.. choice of what you can get in two days: August 3rd, during the great party from 5PM SLT – 7PM SLT right HERE. You do not want to miss it

And of course i cannot deprive you of a closer look at this beautiful face:

The hair I am wearing is by the way from MINA and a ost beautiful hunt gift for “The Needle in a Haystack Hunt” that just started today and will happening through the whole August. And it was just perfect for this picture

Just as the location I remember from earlier this year. It is a little corner on a Sim that I might have overlooked if I would not have cammed out by accident. It is called VirtualWorks and as you can see this part of the beach is just beautiufl
