Be True to You

“You got to be true
True to yourself
Or you’ll be a fool
To somebody else”
-Yelawolf – “True to Yourself” ft. Bones Owens

I’m just quoting the song today. I’m not going to feed you all the lyrics, because this is not really a song post. Though I do love the newest from Yelawolf, I want to talk about being true to yourself. No matter how old you are, its important to be true to yourself and who you are…who you want to be…what you want from your life. It might be too late for some things, but its never too late for everything. The younger you are the fewer excuses you should have…look at people that move to another country with hardly any money to their names and make something of themselves without help from the government. If they can do, so can you! Seriously, no matter what your passion is, never stop. If you love to paint, then paint. If you can’t afford classes, its okay, paint anyway. Paint because you love it, not because you’re a professional. If you love to sing, but no one wants to hear you sing? That’s ok, sing in your car, your shower, sing your heart out. No one can stop you from that. If you can improve upon your passion, then do it. Be the best at whatever you love as you can. I urge those in their 20s to please listen and don’t let you life get away from you. You think there’s plenty of time, but I promise you that time will escape you and before you know it, you’ll be 40 and wondering what happened to your dreams. Be your own best friend and push yourself forward. Be true to you!

Tomayto, Tomahto

“Prosecuted, stabbed, tomayto, tomahto,” she laughed as she stood watching the bill collector run away after dropping off the bills. Her JIAN Chipmunk Collection :: Companion looking equally intimidating. She looked down to see that the tax man had dropped his 7 – Scientific Calculator. She stomped down on the machine with her Phedora ~ Spectra heels and waved to the men running in fear.
She smiled sweetly as Chip (the chipmunk, duh!) began chewing at the edges of the parcels, “Silly men, surely they saw my 7 – BillPosters sign! Now don’t eat that stuff, we have plenty of nuts inside, just chew it up and spit it out.”

Tease

I took a day offline and now I’m pressed for time, but this picture made me think of this song anyway. So, here’s a song for ya…*grins*

Tyra B – Tease

Oh I swear she bad
She know she the baddest bitch
Oh she make me mad
She said that I’ll never get
Between her legs
One thing that seem relevant
She don’t swing my way
At least that’s what she claim
But there’s a first time to everything
You ever did
She said she love her man
But I ain’t tryna hear that shit

‘Cause what we got is special
Nah, not special, but it’s sexual
And girl my sexual is oh so special though

But you’s a tease
(shawty you’s a tease)
Why you doin’ this to me
(why you doin’ this to me shawty)
You always do what you doin’
Like you don’t know what you doin’
But you know just what you doin’
To me
‘Cause shawty you’s a tease
(shawty you’s a tease)
Why you doin’ this to me
(why you doin’ this to me shawty)
You always do what you doin’
Like you don’t know what you doin’
But you know just what you doin’
To me

Oh look at that ass
It’s lookin’ like a couple twins
That’s up under that dress
I know a lot of women that say
Oh we just friends
They be checkin’ for me
Always texting T.B.
When they sayin’ they lonely
Yeah, we homies but
There’s a first time to everything
You ever did
She said she love her man
I ain’t tryna hear that shit

‘Cause what we got is special
Nah not special, but it’s sexual
And girl my sexual is oh so special though

But you’s a tease
(shawty you’s a tease)
Why you doin’ this to me
(why you doin’ this to me shawty)
You always do what you doin’
Like you don’t know what you doin’
But you know just what you doin’
To me
‘Cause shawty you’s a tease
(shawty you’s a tease)
Why you doin’ this to me
(why you doin’ this to me shawty)
You always do what you doin’
Like you don’t know what you doin’
But you know just what you doin’
To me

Why can’t you see what you doin’ to me
‘Cause I want you bad
But you’re just a tease
‘Cause what we got is special
Nah not special, but it’s sexual
And girl my sexual is oh so special though

But you’s a tease
(shawty you’s a tease)
Why you doin’ this to me
(why you doin’ this to me shawty)
You always do what you doin’
Like you don’t know what you doin’
But you know just what you doin’
To me
‘Cause shawty you’s a tease
(shawty you’s a tease)
Why you doin’ this to me
(why you doin’ this to me shawty)
You always do what you doin’
Like you don’t know what you doin’
But you know just what you doin’
To me

Tease

Once Upon a Nightmare

There’s a new event/hunt on the grid and its called Once Upon a Nightmare. Now this is not a typical hunt or even a normal mainstore event. It’s a combination of the two brought to you by the same group that runs The Epiphany. It was a bit confusing for me in the beginning, but once I got the hold of it…I simply couldn’t stop. Today’s picture is featuring a lot of items from the event. I’m wearing even more than I’m showing, but pictures often take on a life of their own and this one was no exception. What you don’t see are the prize from Dead Dollz, which is a pair of very sexy Ouija panties and a new release, specially priced for the event, from Reign…some super sexy spiked heels.

Wait, what was that…there’s hunt prizes and new releases? Yes! You will discover there are hidden boxes with hunt prizes. You will also see new releases that are specially priced and released for the event. AND if you join the group there have even been gifts of appreciation sent out to the group!

Here are some helpful links as I didn’t keep linking the vent below, I simply stated whether they were a hunt prize, specially priced, or group gift.

Black Magic Woman

I’m giving you a song today, because my mind is racing with all sorts of other stuff at the moment and I simply can’t focus enough to write anything worthy of the picture. So, forgive me if you hate music posts and just skip to the credits or click the picture to see it better on flickr. I love my readers so dearly and I am sorry, but sometimes the mental well just runs dry.

Santana – Black Magic Woman

Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman

I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
That she’s a black magic woman
She’s tryin’ to make a devil out of me

Don’t turn your back on me baby
Don’t turn your back on me baby

Yes, don’t turn your back on me baby
Stop messin’ round with your tricks
Don’t turn your back on me baby
You just might pick up my magic sticks

Got your spell on me baby
Got your spell on me baby

Yes you got your spell on me baby
Turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad – magic woman
I can’t leave you alone

Bookworm

I love books. Not just reading them, but holding them and owning them. I love the smell of a used bookstore, a library, and a new bookstore. Each one has a distinct odor of its own. I have shelves and shelves of books I have yet to read, because…well, I’m on the computer most of the time and I simply hate reading books on a screen. I’ve tried to read on tablets and I did okay with the Kindle for a while, but eventually I just really missed holding the book, using a bookmark, and having strangers ask me about the book I’m reading. No one asks you what you’re reading when you’re staring at a tablet. So, I refuse to buy eBooks anymore. I need to feel the paper between my fingertips. I need to hear the rustling of the pages as I turn them anxiously trying to finish the sentence/paragraph/chapter. There are always going to be books in my bathroom, on my nightstand, and on various shelves throughout my house. Some I’ve read and decided they’re simply too good to part with, while others sit for ages on the shelf waiting for me to finally embrace the story within.

Hot Damn

Well, its another music post, cuz I’m pressed for time and crazy busy again this week. So many changes going on in my life that I had to take a whole day away from the computer just to give my brain time to stop spinning. So, along with this fun photo, I’ve included great fun song I recently discovered. I hope you’ll enjoy them both. I promise I’ll be back to writing some sort of rhetoric soon. *winks*

Ivy Levan – Hot Damn

I’ve got that real good good and you know it don’t come cheap.
A pretty penny, a pretty penny, a pretty penny, you like what you see.
You wanted real bad bad but you still, you still want more (you still want more)
Looking at me, looking at me and baby knocking down my door.

Ooh ooh

Hot damn, these fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me alone
Hot damn, these fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me alone from New York to L.A.
And every single day I said hot damn
These fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me, leave me alone.

Hey, you follow me like dogs, and I can’t can’t get no sleep
A pretty penny, a pretty penny, a pretty penny, you just want a piece
‘Cause I got that real good good and you just keep wanting more
Looking at me, looking at me, what the hell are you looking for?

Ooh ooh

Hot damn, these fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me alone
Hot damn, these fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me alone from New York to LA
And every single day I said hot damn
These fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me, leave me alone.

Who turned the temperature up?
It’s hot enough to cook an egg in a frying pan
Don’t you turn that temperature up
Oh it’s hot enough to make me crazy like the son of Sam
Hot damn, who turned that temperature up?
It’s hot enough to cook an egg in a frying pan
Don’t you turn that temperature up
Oh it’s hot enough to make me crazy like the son of Sam

Hot damn, these fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me alone
Hot damn, these fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me alone from New York to L.A.
And every single day I said hot damn
These fools try to stick me for my paper
Damn these fools won’t leave me, leave me alone.

Sady, the Lil Devil

According to Facebook many, and I do mean many, little bad influence quizzes came back with MY name on them! So, in the spirit of living up to my name, I present Sady the Lil Devil! Mind you, my friend Tracy got every single outfit in the machine trying to get this outfit and I got it after only 3 tries. So, which one of us is really the devil? I’ll let you decide!

The Spider and the Fly

The Spider and the Fly

“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly,
‘Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I’ve a many curious things to show when you are there.”

“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can never come down again.”
“I’m sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?” said the Spider to the Fly.
“There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I’ll snugly tuck you in!”

“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly,  “for I’ve often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!”

Said the cunning Spider to the Fly,  “Dear friend what can I do,
To prove the warm affection I ‘ve always felt for you?
I have within my pantry, good store of all that’s nice;
I’m sure you’re very welcome — will you please to take a slice?”

“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly,  “kind Sir, that cannot be,
I’ve heard what’s in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!”

“Sweet creature!” said the Spider,  “you’re witty and you’re wise,
How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I’ve a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you’ll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself.”

“I thank you, gentle sir,” she said,  “for what you’re pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now, I’ll call another day.”

The Spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly Fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly.

Then he came out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
“Come hither, hither, pretty Fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple — there’s a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead!”

Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little Fly,
Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue —
Thinking only of her crested head — poor foolish thing!
At last,
Up jumped the cunning Spider, and fiercely held her fast.
He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlour — but she ne’er came out again!

And now dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart and ear and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.

Extra! Extra!

Once upon a time, kids would stand on street corners selling newspapers while yelling, “EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!” They might even go so far as to toss out the title of the story on the front page. These days we get our news from a variety of electronic devices. So, I figured my best bet was to sit pretty on the ATM machine…that should get your attention, right?
Its Friday and I think most of us are feeling pretty good about that! There’s been lots of events just waiting for us to get paid. There’s an endless array of retail therapy, so no matter how bad your week has been, relief is in sight! Its also the weekend that Cosmo switches things up, so if you want to grab this cute little number from Scandalize go on over and grab it tonight. It might be a few days before it makes it to the mainstore. In the meanwhile, you can hit up Kustom9 for that beautiful variety they continue to deliver. Bueno has surprised us with a diverse set of backdrops and phones!
I hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Shopping!♥
