Pressed Between The Pages of My Mind

Memories

Pressed between the pages of my mind

Memories

Sweetened through the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down

And settle softly to the ground

Like golden autumn leaves around my feet

I touched them and they burst apart with

Sweet memories, sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets

And twilight trimmed in purple haze

And laughing eyes and simple ways

And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories

Pressed between the pages of my mind

Memories

Sweetened through the ages just like wine

Memories, memories, sweet memories

              ~~ Memories, Mac Davis

Bad News Ping Pong Pandas

This team is the one to beat.  If you can.  Bet you can't!  Bee Designs' Cute Pandas are a gacha set, and they're ready to defend their ping pong title.  They even have a hall of fame photo section, see?  It's relatively new but important nonetheless.  They will be playing on their professional grade, Olympic size Ping Pong Table by Chez Moi.  Psst, after the game and the panda kids go to sleep, we adults will be checking it out.  Cough.  But I digress.

My outfit called We Can Work It Out is by Sn@tch, the current Fish 4 This ensemble, meaning come fish for it for free!  It's a cute work-out look including hair, headband, top and capri appliers, one-shoulder mesh overtop, sneakers, and fun color options.  It's panda and virtual ping pong association approved.  ;)

Quick! Too Cute To Pass Up

I'm having a relaxing day at home for the 4th, meandering through what needs to be blogged with no sense of urgency.  Until I saw this pack from Tooty Fruity! OMG, urgency required because this is an adorable huge pack of 4th of July wearables.  Lots of stuff, ladies!  We'll SAY it's a holiday pack but heck, I'll wear these year-round.  Mix and matches of tops, skirts, jeans, sneakers or heels.  And get this, the entire pack is only 100Ls, right now, instore or on MP.  

Get 'em now - I have no idea how long they'll remain available.  Key-ewt, cute, key-ewt!  Seriously.

Happy 4th, btw.  And you're welcome.  ;)

Don't Go For Second Best Baby

You don't need diamond rings or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast you know they never last no, no
What you need is a big strong hand to
Lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test you know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels and maybe
Then you'll know your love is real

Long stem roses are the way to your heart but
He needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic
What happens when you're not in bed
You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn't right then move on
Second best is never enough
You'll do much better baby on your own

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test you know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels and maybe
Then you'll know your love is real

                  ~~ Express Yourself, Madonna

Let's Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe

Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe

Oh sunny Santa Fe would be nice

We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe

And leave this to the roaches and mice

Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe

Our labors would reap financial gain

We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe

And save from devastation our brains

We'll pack up all our junk and fly

so far away

Devote ourselves to projects that sell

We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe

Forget this cold Bohemian Hell

Do you know the way to Santa Fe?

You know, tumbleweeds... prairie dogs...

Yeah

Lovely As A Summer Day

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day

My cherie amour, distant as the milky way

My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore

You're the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street

I've been near you, but you never noticed me

My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore

That behind that little smile I wore

How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowd

Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud

Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore

You're the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

Make It Easy On Yourself

While planning a more elaborate shot, I wound up using this simple portrait and playing a little in PSE.  I'm sure it's happened to you too - you're snapping away and capture an animation when no part is poking abnormally into something else, yay!  My main focus is this lovely top created by *LX* Essentials, called Magi.  You can find it at the ongoing Notice Me, Senpai event.  We'll just let the top shine in this simpler post; it IS that pretty. ;)  There are lots of colors from which to choose, with separate color options for the bows if you'd rather contrast.

I "made it easy on myself" with the shot.  So!  My brain went on that random-yet-related easy path to listening to one of my fave songs by Burt Bacharach, sung by Dionne Warwick.  Ahh what a pairing.  Burt admitted himself that her voice brought his music to life exactly the way he heard it.  It's a shame they had a feud for years - they could have made so many more wonderful recordings.  If you've never heard it, find it on youtube.  Even today, there's something about music presentations like that, couples dance to them in happy intimacy even though it's a poignant breakup song.

Make it easy on yourself

Make it easy on yourself

Breaking up is so very hard to do

If you really love her

And there's nothing I can do

Don't try to spare my feelings

Just tell me that we're through

And make it easy on yourself

Make it easy on yourself

'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

And if the way I hold you

Can't compare to her caress

No words of consolation

Will make me miss you less

My darling, if this is goodbye

I just know I'm gonna cry

So run to her

Before you start crying, too

And make it easy on yourself

Make it easy on yourself

'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Oh, baby, it's so hard to do

~~ Make It Easy On Yourself

by Burt Bacharach, as sung by Dionne Warwick
