Laura's Lair: June 2017

I Can't Hear The Music

He showed me there was more to me

When I thought I had nothing else to give

God knows he wasn't perfect,

Ah but then, again, nobody is

He always told me the truth

No matter how hard it was to hear

When he said "I believe in you"

It was music to my ears

Oh each words like a note

Like a beautiful tune

The kind that inspires

And helps me get through

Ah if I said I can't

He'd say you can

He was my toughest critic

Ah, my biggest fan

Now he's gone to a distant shore

And I can't hear the music, anymore

~~I Can't Hear the Music, Loretta Lynn

My RL hubby likes country. Favorites aside, for the most part, I don't. But I can say I developed tremendous respect for Loretta Lynn while watching Sissy Spacek portray her in movie-land. I thought the lyrics went very well with this post.

Lots of pretties for you here! Thank you to my sweet sponsors who allow me to depict their creations.

Hot Child In The City

Hot child in the city,

Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty,

Yeah,

Hot child in the city.

So young to be loose and on her own.

Young boys they all want to take her home.

When she comes downtown the boys all stop and stare.

When she comes downtown she walks like she just don't care,

Yeah.

Waiting A Long Time

I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything...at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a new diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all

Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up

Dawning of a new era
Calling...don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost...I can embrace this
Feeling....on the tip of my tongue

Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars....
(Shey hey hey)

I've been waiting for a life time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all

Dumbstruck
Colour me stupid
Good luck
You're gonna need it
Where I'm going if I get there...
At all....

Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars....

~~ Waiting, Green Day

Overkill In Scarlet

There are just a few days left for Swank's June round of Dark Romance, and you don't want to miss it. I'm wearing [Vips Creations], the Scarlet Overkill dress with collar and headpiece. Heels are included with this pretty outfit. The ensemble is very elegant - a little bit steampunk, a little bit Goth, and definitely represents Dark Romance. My skin is Sahara by WoW Skins, also found now at Swank. This is for CatWa Bento heads and does include body appliers. The applier surprised me. My shape is different than the model's but it applied beautifully; it's very creamy. Try it, I do think you'll like it. :-)

I Need Some Pleasure With My Pain

Seduction places me in line, revealed to a submissive side.

A crack of her whip is fine, latex rubber and blind eyes

Cat o' nine tails breaks me down, her discipline is so profound

Scars and cuts keep me around, tied up or tied down as

long as I am bound...Just as long as I am bound.

Place me in your sense of care, I'd do all for you, anywhere...

You are the master I am the slave, willing to be your depraved

Servant to your ev'ry whim, let this fetish love begin

Take control let this be done, you rule this moment what may come.

I like this thing I am whenever you are near

There is no resistence here

She dominates-I need some pleasure with my pain

She dominates-Abuse me in leather whips and chains

She dominates-Reduce me to a pleading cry, break the

skin and tantalize

I need some pleasure with my pain-she dominates...

~~She Dominates, by Blitzkid

I just said in my previous post that I was going to describe the items more. Then I found these incredibly appropriate Blitzkid lyrics. I think they say it all, don't they? Check out Destiny Style's sizzling-hot Dark Passion outfit at Swank. The new pose set by Image Essentials called GothNIC really pushed this post theme in the same direction!

Had To Separate the Kids

I can't, in good conscience, ever just do a "style card," a post consisting of merely a pic and credits. This is my blog. My BLOG. A blog consists of thoughts, feelings, information. Often I will write a quick poem, or add song lyrics - sharing where my brain went upon constructing the pic. It has also occurred to me, that while that is interesting (hopefully!), Second Lifers are tuning in to learn more about the creations depicted. I'm going to start making a more concerted effort to describe the items...what I like about them, and anything particularly outstanding about them...even if it's just bullet points for the sake of time, lol.

Sn@tch - What has Ivey Deschanel been up to, that talented busy bee? I'm wearing Bailey Hair. This is an adorable hairstyle, with bangs and falling long down the back. The textures glisten very nicely with graphics up. So it's cute AND affordable - check out the Spring Cleaning on the Lanisha Sim or find Bailey at the store when you find the Purple Rose, and save while picking up hair cuteness! I'm also wearing the Surfside Halter Top, for classic avies or the option of an Omega Hud for mesh ladies. I have a huge problem with this halter. A really big negative. The textures are so cute it's difficult to pick which one to wear! ;)

JUSTICE - My shorts are Bailee. Alas, the same problem as above, these include a great texture hud. Whatever shall we do with all these options. Dance around gleefully? Of course! We do need to tell Valentine Coy that she forgot to zip up the zipper - it's artfully small enough to not be gauche, and strategically cute when noticed. Valentine has released some similarly styled jeans that I'll be sharing soon - but you know you don't have to wait on me to buy them.

Slipper Originals - I'm wearing Alissa Sandals, an older release found at the store. I vote never worry about pulling out the perfect shoes we already have in inventory, especially when they're created by Elle Polygon. These sandals come with the usual extensive color hud. Sensory overload, omg, they will match anything!

CHEZ MOI FURNITURES - The Polka Dots Patio Set is offered up at this round of Cosmopolitan. Rezz more cups and chairs and invite your friends over for a tea party! PG and Adult Versions are available. Wait, Adult? I'm going to conduct a safety inspection! We don't want anyone scalded by hot tea. ;) I really like this furniture design - the white wrought iron is very pretty. Thanks, Nanda Marjeta, for brightening our world with such wonderful furniture!

JIAN - Jian is not one of my official sponsors (would that it were, I can dream, hint, hint). I finally hopped over to The Arcade to pick up Kalia Firelyte's Cheeky Chihuahuas. Jian pets are usually an expected splurge for me - I want them all and GET them all. These little cuties were fighting so I had to separate them. I'm pretty sure they will make special appearances on my blog often. Let's hope they behave! Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure I'm sponsoring Jian SL kids through college with my purchases, so...you probably shouldn't let me blog officially. ;)

Whew, so this is why I don't always chatter about items; I have so many complimentary things to say the posts get long!

CHEAP! Spring Cleaning on Lanisha Sim -OR-

Even CHEAPER if you find the Purple Rose in the Store!
