Feeling like a Boss

Its not secret that I own The Liaison Collaborative event now and every month during set up, I do my best not only to chase down designers to set up, but also to amuse them. The latter part does not always work, but at least I try. I don’t have a huge team of people like some events, but we’re not a massive event either. With that said, I do my best to be present and on hand to assist the designers during set up. This month I’ve dressed up like a real boss bitch with this gorgeous pin striped dress from Pixicat, which you can pick up over at Anthem. Then I got the BUENO-On the GoCup, that you can grab at Kustom9, and I knew my look was complete. I mean, what boss bitch doesn’t have a matching cup of coffee with her at all times?

Special Place of Zen

These days, I think we’d all like a spa vacation. Unfortunately, due to the current times, that simply isn’t an option for most of us. However, I have found some tranquility by creating my own spa inworld and simply allowing my avatar to enjoy the setting, while I listen to some soft meditation friendly music. It would seem that the creators in SL have a similar idea, as I was able to use the new Urban Spa set from Atelier Burgundy & Pitaya as my foundation, then added elements from other spa sets in my collection to personalize it. There’s quite a bit that isn’t shown here, to include spring water and a mud bath, but I think this photo gives you an accurate view to grasp the idea. Hopefully, it will inspire you to create you own special place of zen. ♥

Blogging works!

I am walking proof that blogging works. Just yesterday, I acquired some cute new purses, because I saw one of them on a blog post. I also discovered a new pose store. I mean, I dunno how new they are to the grid, but they’re new to me and that’s always exciting to me as a photographer. These pants I’m wearing were an item I saw at an event, but after I saw them in a blog post, I decided I had to have them. I have loved the backdrops from Paleto for a while, but after seeing one I didn’t have in a blog post…I went to their store. There I discovered that they had five backdrops on sale, all for less than L$100! I had to scoop them up! I can only hope that my blog inspires people to buy a few things from time to time as well.

when the day gets long

So here’s to you and here’s to when the day gets long
Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off
I don’t drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a highball glass
Let the world fade away
Yeah, and I don’t smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a
When the day gets long
When the work’s all done
When the sun sets
When you need to forget
Grab that cup, mmm
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go
Ooh

Mostly Anxious

Today is going to be an exceptionally busy day for me. I have to go out into the cold world. Yes, I mean, literally cold. I need to vote and run some errands. Ugh, I so hate leaving my house. Meanwhile, at home…inworld…its that time again and I need to get TLC open and ready for our dedicated shoppers. I’m excited about this round and hope to do some pictures of some of the amazing designs our creators have exhibited this round. I don’t have a ton to talk about right now. I’m most feeling really anxious about going out today and facing the voting lines.

Just Empty

Sometimes, I just don’t care. I don’t know why. I suppose its a symptom of mental illness. I’m not sure which one. I guess I should ask my therapist. Maybe one day I will. Then again, I’ve been ill for a few days, so it could just be related to that. I just know that lately, I don’t feel sad or happy. I just feel nothingness. As if there’s a void in my soul. It’s not dark or light. It’s not black or white. It’s not blurry or clear. It’s gray and foggy, like creepy autumn morning. It’s just empty.

Just LION around

From the moment I saw these lions from Rezz Room, I knew exactly what type of photo I wanted to do. Lucky for me, I have some very patient friends that were more than willing to pose all pretty. What I was going for was one of those situations where models are doing an editorial spread and shoot on location. While they pose and look all aloof or bored, when deep down they are screaming inside because they are so close to the lions. The best part of this is that when Precious was posing, she didn’t even notice the lions until I showed her my raw shot. *dies laughing* I think she was too busy trying to look down my shirt! Meanwhile, we just dumped poor Damien in the back and told him to keep his hands to himself. *laughs* That’s probably why he’s shooting us the bird! *giggles* And Puss…well, she’s just my original toon that does as I tell her.

Let’s start with the real stars of the photo:

Try and face the world

Oh, got my hands tied around my back
And time put a rope around my head
And hung from the rafters of my fear
Dark in the eyes
Try and face the world, I can’t bear to
My knees hit the ground and my hands start shaking
Old feelings from new faces
A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging

Please help me chop this tree down
Or hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don’t you cry for me
Oh

I’ve seen an ocean run away
I’m torn from the truth that holds my soul
I’m down in the grave where I belong
Oh, what a ride
Identified my devil
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
With my own hands, no shovel
I dug through the ground, now I’m hanging above saying

Please help me chop this tree down
Or hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don’t you cry for me

Bad Kitty

He was having a hard time keeping his hands to himself as he watched her pose her pretty kitty self on the silk draped stool. He kept his hands in his pocket, but his thoughts poured from his mouth as he told her what he really wanted to do to her. If only she was his…if only he were available to pursue her. He licks his lips and shakes his head, “You are a bad, bad kitty. If you were mine, I would….” His voice trailed off as he closed his eyes and watched the visions in his head.
She giggled, “You would what?”
He took a deep breath and muttered, “I am trying to behave. I should go.” He winked at her and left smiling.
