My Little Runaway

As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
Love that was so strong

And as I still walk by
I think off the times we had together
While our hearts were young

I'm a-walking in the rain
Hear it falling,
And I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery

And I wonder
Why
You went away
Yes, I wonder, where you will stay
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway

                  ~~ Runaway, Elvis Presley

Swank's theme this month is Hollywood Glam.  One just needs to stroll through the event areas to feel the glitz and excitement.  How would you be if the chance to be famous in Hollywood swung your way?  Would you be able to embrace it while retaining that sweet, simple part of yourself?  Or would adoring fans and commitments shape you into something you're not?  I've often wondered how big stars are able to handle it.  I don't think many are, and we hear of so many sad examples.  Was Elvis able to catch his little runaway and experience true love, if only for a moment in time?

If I was a rich girl (na, na)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town

All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know

Swank - Raise A Little Fahrenheit

What did he see in me?

What's my attraction?

Could that face make a million men adore me?

And make a hundred camera men explore me?

Is that the girl I see there right before me?

I wanna be that girl in the mirror, there!

I wanna be that girl with gorgeous hair up on a silver screen most everywhere in the world!

I want to go to Hollywood

Talkies - I mean the pictures!

I wanna have a hot time every night, 

Go out and raise a little fahrenheit 

Knock ev'ry duke and count and baron right off his feet!

I'll be that girl that's understood -oh!

I want to go to Hollywood.

Swank - Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

We flying the first class

Up in the sky

Poppin' champagne

Livin' my life

In the fast lane

And I won't change

For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

I'm talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams

You deserve nothing but all the finer things

Now this whole world has no clue to do with us

I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us

Brother gotta keep enough lettuce

To support your shoe fetish

Lifestyles so rich and famous

Robin Leach will get jealous

Half a million for the stones

Takin' trips from here to Rome

So If you ain't got no money take yo' broke *ss home

Swank - Evening Of Love

How could she let a man like you

Slip through her fingers?

I guess she didn't know

A good man is hard to find

I would have cherished and treasured that love

If I had been her

I would have thanked the Lord

Every morning for making you mine

Baby, why don't you spend

An evening of love with me?

A moment of tenderness

Ain't it just what we both need

Let's make it

An evening of love to remember

An evening away from the past

Oh, baby

Maybe tomorrow you'll wake up to find

You don't need her

Maybe you'll realize

You never did

I'm gonna hold you real close to my heart

Say the words that will heal you

I'm gonna show you babe,

Show you how good it can feel

                      ~~ Evening of Love, Vaya Con Dios

An Angel Doesn't Need Wings

She doesn't need wings for you to know she's an angel...especially when she's waiting for you at home in lingerie by Ghostyss. This is Laura, named after me? No, but happy coincidence! Your angel will be a vision in this softly sexy, semi-sheer lingerie. I'm wearing Maitreya panties with it, but you don't have to. ;) This wonderful and unique bedroom furniture group is by Madison Whelan. It includes a canopy bed with lots of animations, sheer curtains, chandelier and floral decor. As part of the build, there is a floor couch and pillows that becomes a perfect spot to share and enjoy the fire. This fireplace selection even has a kitty perched on the mantle, along with candles and a filled vase. I love the painting that comes with it. Both these offerings are waiting for you at Swank! After shopping, TP from the main event LM into the Winter Wonderland area, for skating, gifts and donating to Toys for Tots. It's a breathtaking build!

My hair is by Rezology, named Sky 275. This style is a-MAZ-ing. I played with the accompanying hud to fine-tune the hair color I wanted. You'll love this one! Rezology has released a whole bunch of new styles just in time for your Christmas and beyond selections.

Happy shopping!

POE10 A Little Green In A Frosted World

The POE10 - Peach on Earth Hunt 10 - is underway! There are 297 stores participating this year, some with multiple hunt gifts! This is truly the hunt of the season. Okay, of the YEAR. With so many wonderful stores offering beautiful gifts, this hunt will not be completed in one session. You can utilize the website and pick your faves in like-random order. Or you can start at the beginning of the lineup, then taking note of the last store you visited so you can resume with the next one when time permits again! This hunt event runs until the end of the month...no panicking necessary...just don't let time get away either...there are a lotta gifts!

Above, I'm modeling the hunt gift from Whymsical Marketplace, a lovely gown named Christmas Blue. It's Elsa-ish in a marvelous way. The pretty little garden next to me is one of the hunt gifts from Cosmos Boutique called Small Square Garden with White Plants. Want this sweet patch in the midst of your winter wonderland? All you have to do is find the POE globe and it's yours!

SNEAK PEEK!! Mark your calendars for December 9th when this beautiful hair by EscalateD will be available at the Naughty List 2 event. It's called Virginie and includes a version with snow! I think it's truly exceptional and you will too. While waiting for the event, pop over to the store for the Advent Calendar, and return daily this month for a gift every day!
