Back To The Place Where I Belong

I'm staring out into the night,

Trying to hide the pain.

I'm going to the place where love

And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.

And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home.

Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,

The closer I get to you.

I've not always been the best man or friend for you.

But your love remains true.

And I don't know why.

You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,

'Cause you just might get it all.

You just might get it all,

And then some you don't want.

Be careful what you wish for,

'Cause you just might get it all.

You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old.

I said these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home.

I'm going home.

So You Wanna Be a Blogger Tip #1

I am by no means a "best of the best" Second Life blogger. Sometime, I think I'll do a post and share several names who I think ARE! But I'm definitely a dedicated blogger, work hard, and love learning to improve my photography skills. Maybe some day I WILL be a "best of the best." But it's the climb, as the song goes, right? :-)

I have been blogging Second Life Fashion (and more) for wow, almost 3 years. Occasionally, I'm going to start sharing some tips for new bloggers. I believe it's very important to share knowledge and help others, and when a past-time is this fun and rewarding, why not share? So many people have assisted me, I'm very happy to pass tips along.

Tip #1 - Amass poses. Seriously. You will need all sorts of poses. Start out with searches on Marketplace for "free pose," or "pose gift." Look up any pose creator and search price low to high. Shop inworld and check for gift or discounted poses. There are also photography aids and props that contain poses. Hunt them down and add them to your inventory! You don't want to be taking pics while standing in the same pose all the time. Read the credits on blogger posts when you notice a great pose - they should provide enough information for you to track it down.

If you haven't checked out the Pose Fair, you only have 2 more days! Talk about some poses! It's a great place to even window shop for what's out there, and collect LMs for the designers that impressed you.

I'll be sharing more info about poses in upcoming posts; I am fortunate enough to blog for several wonderful pose makers and I love to toot a horn for them!

The Levitation of Leaves

I was invited to join the blogging team for Pretty Things and the Pretty Things Showroom. Color me thrilled! I can't wait to share with you some of the seriously pretty things!

My dress is by Pretty Things (I bet you saw that coming, didn't you), called Mollie. Mollie has multiple fit options and a color hud making this an adorable AND versatile mini to add to your wardrobe.  

My eyeshadow atop Catwa mesh eyes is by La Boheme, named Stella v2 and available at We <3 Roleplay. It's a hud with several color options. Even if you don't love "roleplay," go to the event - the fashion and other items are fantastic. You'll definitely find something you like.

My nails are by ZOZ, a pretty hud set called Cascade Fall Polish. You'll find these necessary-isms at Chapter Four!

Persefona released the Floating Leaves set, with poses, now at Cosmopolitan, but hurry, today is the last day to snap these up! The set includes attachable leaves in several arrangements for great pic ideas.

Swank All Day Long

Swank in the morning, Swank in the afternoon, Swank in the evening. The Swank Event showcases fashion and more from the grid's top designers so you'll always find something you love. Take for example, Wow Skins' Selia, brand new for 2016! I'm wearing the tan tone. These tones have been tweaked to perfection this year and Selia's face is lovely.

I'm also wearing the Black Rose Coat Dress by Vintage Touch. You can select from this gorgeous monochromatic design and more. It has a feminine V-collar, hood in the back, and cinches at the waist with a same-texture bow. The skirt is short (the better to show off your marvelous legs) and flares attractively. Use the accompanying alpha for the mesh with your Classic body - I'm wearing my Maitreya and alphas via the body hud are quick and easy.

Going out on a surprisingly cool summer evening? It happens! You know, this dress would make a darling wrap. You might have had a wonderful day at the beach perfecting your tan, then popped this on to head over to Cafe Musique to cap off the evening. What AM I wearing underneath this dress? I'll give you a hint with the NANTRA pose I'm using. This is a selection from the series Beach Illustrated 2016, found now at The Liaison Collaborative!

The Firestorm Project

My SL viewer of choice is Firestorm. Upon login, I read that Firestorm needs assistance for their operating costs, and I clicked the link. 

The lowest form of assistance is buying this Firestorm jacket for only 250Ls! The marketplace store link is below. We can offer higher help as well, and please do if you can afford it. But so many of us can part with 250Ls, and get a cool jacket, that the help will add up! The jackets are available for men and women, and come with a Hud including several jacket color options, with/without a shirt, and also with/without the logo.

Every year, Firestorm gives us free gifts.  Every year, Firestorm updates the viewer giving us better and better options for exploring our Second Life world.  You totally rock, Firestorm!

Won't you join me in helping when they need us?  :-)

Cuqui at SayCute

I'm sharing some fun news in this post! Collabor88 should be settled enough for you to TP in now, and grab your Tableau Vivant hairstyle called Cristal. She is excruciatingly lovely with long, slightly messy tresses. She is truly a work of art.

Speaking of art, Cuqui's Sarah cropped poncho is quite a fashion statement. There are several colors from which to choose, and it is available now at SayCute!

Reign is having a 50% off sale! So off I went to promptly add the fatpack of Michi Thigh High Boots into my inventory. Reign and Blueberry collaborated - the thigh high boots pair with Blueberry's Tink Jeans! There went another fatpack into inventory. I shall never take either of them off. ;)

I shot this pic at Nightfall Cities - Into The Wild, in a barn loft located there. Congratulations, Nightfall Cities, for making it into the Destinations Guide! By the way, I see more people ARE exploring the grounds, I got knocked out of the barn loft a couple of times by excitable newbie avies. No kidding. Had to laugh.

This lovely Tunic & Jeans outfit is by Tendance & Harmonie, and available now at SayCute! The subtle color on the knit texture is very attractive. The jeans have multiple size options for Classic & Mesh Avatars. This is a refined, stylish look perfect for the season. See this and soooo much more at the event!

These "mahvelous" nails are by Zoz, and are featured now at F R O S T. Zoz nails come in Huds with several color options of the design, for your own color coordinating. They are available for Slink, Maitreya, or Zoz Mesh nails. Also! It's a VERY good time to check out the main store of Zoz as well!*
