The Day After

I usually wear the Lelutka Mesh Head, but sometimes create blog posts without it to showcase a skin sponsor, Sugarush. For the past few weeks, I have been slowly converting to a new shape (I have an avatar identity crisis with face changes in particular). I'm pretty happy with the end result. She looks rather French to me. 

I was working on these pics when news of the terrorist attack in Paris reached me. This made my avatar conversion bitter sweet. My heart goes out of France as they struggle through this tragedy.

So lots of event info! My mesh dress corset is made by B&C Collection, available at the SayCute Event. This round ends THIS WEEKEND, so hurry on over to take advantage of the sales. The pose is included in a set by Image Essentials and available now at The Thrift Shop. This collection is very nice for use in boudoir poses.

!It! is offering up this delicate and lovely jewelry set named Sovereign, InStore for the 60L Secret Sle! The entire set will only set you back 60Ls!!! A Hud is included for metal change.

Irrie's Dollhouse is featuring these lovely heels called Adeline Dollie at The Gacha Garden Fall Event. Play for 5 commons, 1 rare, and the Seed of Inspiration Ultra Rare. The heels are 100% original mesh for Slink and Maitreya MID feet.

A Firm Yet Loving Hand

She saw the man on the hill taking photographs. She waved, and after a hesitation, he waved back. This must be the applicant. He made his way over, more slowly than she would have liked. "Bonjour," she began. He said "Oh I'm sorry, I don't speak French. I hope it's okay that I was taking pictures, you have a beautiful place here." She responded, "Thank you. That's fine, I like thorough."

She led him to the rear of the chateau, and offered refreshment which he courteously declined. She smiled, "Good, a man who gets straight to business. Show me your hands." He said "My...hands, why?" He thought how fortunate he was, to have merely stopped to take tourist pics and now to be spending time with this lovely woman. She said "Because you must be firm yet loving with your touch." His mind ran away with itself, as he repeated, "My...touch." She wondered if he was a bit daft. "Yes, your touch. You must show me your ability to hold firmly yet lovingly, and shape and mold. It's a requirement." His eyes began sparkling. 

She said "Would you prefer to change first?" He grinned, "Oh I think I'm ready now." She said "All right, let's go round them up!" He said "Round what/who up?" She tilted her head, amused, "The sheep, of course, for shearing. What did you think I meant?"

Cooler Cute

There's a crispness in the air that greets the morning sun, a feeling of anticipation, a new day has begun.

Harvest days are ending, winter is drawing near, yet in between is surely the most special time of year.

They call it Indian Summer, and it seems to fit the bill, for it's as if the Lord took a feathered brush and painted all the hills.

Now as I sit contented, atop of one of these, a book in hand to pass the time, the sound of a gentle breeze,

I can almost imagine an Indian child upon this mountaintop, looking down at the land of her forefathers, lost within her thoughts

For in every persons lifetime some heartache may occur, but on these hills in quiet solitude, God helps us to endure.

So I say that the eyes are a window, beauty is found within the soul, and upon the hills of Autumn, that are strewn with red and gold.

Love's Dove

Once upon a time, in a kingdom long ago, a traveling prince fell in love with the Queen's handmaiden. He was so smitten he gave her a ring of ruby and diamonds and promised to return to her after the Crusades. The Queen, envious of his attention elsewhere and to her servant, no less,

had her sorceress turn the prince into a white dove.

The handmaiden, prostrate with grief, visited him in the aviary daily. He consoled her as best he could, staying near, and cooing gentle words in her ear.

He told her, finally, that he must leave if he were to ever break the Sorceress' curse. The handmaiden said, but it's not possible! You could be struck by a hunter's arrow! He let her stroke his downy feathers as he reassured, then I've but to soar like an eagle and no arrow will find its mark.

She said but what if the forest rages with fire? The prince calmed her, then like the phoenix, I will rise to return to you. My love.
