Couriers' Appointed Rounds


Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night
stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

That's the post office saying. Well it holds true on Second Life too. Just as soon as I finish my coffee, Donner, Blitzen and I will take off over the hills delivering special New Year's wishes from friends to friends! The deer are moonlighting now after the mad Christmas dash. ;) Chez Moi's Old Winter Mail Car feels like such a cool trip back in time and is perfect for outdoor scenery. It has some great singles and couples animations too. You can find it at The Project Se7en until January 20th.

Here is Masoom's sizzingly hot gacha outfit called Daphne. This outfit is an exclusive at The Lootbox until January 19th. Sometimes gachas can be frustrating, but this one is so color coordinated you don't have to worry about which pieces you get - it will all look great. This one is excellent for mix-and-matching as well.

Finally, here is a closeup showing one of !It!'s advent gifts - Jane's Necklace. So very pretty! And Slipper Originals' Milena Bento Fingernail Rings - these are fantastic. I frequently pull mine out and pop them on. Outfit plus, the Masoom gloves are fingerless so the rings work really well with it!

I might, but if I don't get another post out before NYE, I wish you a wonderful one and into the New Year. Hugs. Enjoy and be safe!

Twilight, That Now Is Day And Once Was Night


The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane

Am I awake or do I dream
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies

It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I'll give you time to
Steal my mind away from me

Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here
But can you take me back

Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away

It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

Twilight, I'll give you time to
Steal my mind away from me

Your brought me here
But can you take me back again

Review of Backdrop City


Yes, I did it, and I'll admit it amid the controversy. I explored Backdrop City. And well, it's a cornucopia of backdrops for bloggers and anyone wanting to take pics with cool backdrops! My hat's off to MiaJolina for offering up her sim to the public. 

Sparky has now declared himself King of the Pallets. He barks to maintain his standing in case there are similarly sized rodents vying for the title.

The positives: We bloggers et al. now have a central place to hunt for suitable backdrops, which makes our "job" easier. I don't anticipate much trouble using the areas - since these are a collection of backdrops it's obvious when someone is using one; we can easily steer around them so as not to interrupt their set-ups. The sim is set up categorically, and LMs to areas can now be found at the main entrance. 

Here's a huge plus from a creator and consumer standpoint - I am also becoming acquainted with the work of creators previously unknown to me. Like this backdrop by [Wartz] - Alleyway, a rare from a gacha collection. It may be that I live on my platform too much, or tend to blog items that are not alley-worthy? lol But I was completely unaware of this brand, and what awesome work! I'm really psyched about finding new brands and what I can buy-buy-buy. ;)

The negatives: I am aware that some backdrop creators are upset. Since I'm not a backdrop creator I can't put myself in their shoes, but I can try to empathize as they share their concerns. It seems that MiaJolina has only the best of intentions, and there are clear indications that she is flexible. I say give this a chance. Many folks prefer to buy their own backdrops and stage detailed set-ups on their own platforms. And often, backdrops will blend into someone's own creativity and they are left out as part of their virtual environment. I don't think that will change. 

I do, however, think it is absolutely essential that bloggers provide links/information about the backdrops themselves when using them at Backdrop City. The sim has a reminder note to do that, and a good blogger knows to do that anyway. So maybe that's not a negative after all.

Time will prove how this develops. It will be very interesting to see.  One thing is for sure - no matter how differing opinions start - this is a time for discussion, not name-calling and fighting. I think this is a prime example of figuring something out as a community.

Long Day, Caught the Bouquet


I was rhymin'. My posts are shaping up into cute party dresses, but that's ok...lots of choices for us with NYE in just a few days! This is the Holly Party Dress by Sn@tch, and it's quite seriously cute. I love the ruffled sleeves. The hud contains an array of colors to suit your preference. My hair is the VIP Group Gift at Ayashi, called Melly. I just had to get it, soooooo cute and well made. The great pose is by FoxCity called Flowers 7m and does include the bouquet.

Any NYE weddings?

Vision In Blue


Someone in this room is the right one for me
But how can it be that I cannot see
I'm biding my time
While drinking my wine

I'm gonna be free this weekend, so free
I'm showing off my liberty
Get ready to play, you're making my day
I'm finding a way

But when the night time is all over I'm all alone
I'm advancing and I'm dancing with myself

A vision in blue, forever young
A token so true, my Koh Phangan
A vision in blue, forever young
A token so true, my Koh Phangan

I see you dancing in front of my face
Your body is moving to the trace of the chase
I'm flashing for you
A bright light in the night (For you)

I'm gonna be me, myself and I
Losing the rhythm that's my goodbye
I'm feeling the heat, complete with the beat
I'm playing discreet

But when the night time is all over I'm all alone
I'm advancing and I'm dancing with myself

A vision in blue, forever young
A token so true, my Koh Phangan
A vision in blue, forever young
A token so true, my Koh Phangan

I see you dancing in front of my face
Your body is moving to the trace of the chase
I'm flashing for you
A vision in blue

Singin' the Blues - Where Is My Good Man At


Lord I wonder where's my good man at
He left here this morning didn't carry nothing but his hat

He left his suits all hanging on the rack
He left here this morning didn't carry nothing but his hat

Lord I wonder where's my good man at
He left here this morning didn't carry nothing but his hat

If only could get my good man back
He left here this morning didn't carry nothing but his hat

Lord I wonder where's my good man at
He left here this morning carrying nothing but his hat

Lord if only get my good man back
He left here this morning didn't carry nothing but his hat
