here pussycat...

When I saw this I really just giggled out loud.. pure cuteness and sense of humor, which is why I love MoDANNA's stuff :) Get this sweater as a group gift for November, and for you that don't like kitties.(gasps!) . there's even a simple black one. 

sweater: MoDANNA, group gift Nov 2015

hair: Magika, Drive

eyes: IKON

skin appliers: Pink Fuel, Morgana skin in apricot
for LOGO mesh head

head: LOGO Alex Mesh head

body: Maitreya

hands: Slink 

xoxo Happy Shopping!





some new loveliness..


yay! I made a new shape.. this time optimized for use under Maitreya's mesh body.. though it can be used without. If you choose to use it without a mesh body, you may need to modify it a bit. It is copy and mod so you can really have fun with it. Also, it was tested with most popular skin brands, such as Glam Affair, Birdy, Wow skin, Skinnery, Essences, Al Vulo, etc. You most likely may need to adjust as you switch skins though, but I did try my best to keep the shape proportionate and the face structure overall very balanced to work with most skins.



I'll build a city that dreams for two..

Turn up your night..

I will build a city that dreams for two
and if you lose yourself
I will find you.."

Only those who care about you can hear you when you're quiet...


Ah, November is almost here.. as the days grow darker, there is more of a melancholy in the air which I tend to embrace. I absolutely love taking a stroll in autumn leaves and misty mornings in my cozy sweaters, so when I saw this from MoDanna I was just tickled pink. Check these out at the event and see what other cool new stuff for Fall you can find. Happy Shopping ! xoxo, Tessy.

I've been doing a lot of pics and a few blog posts. Usually I don't do this many in a day. So, its nice to be able to work on pics relatively undisturbed. That, and this cute bag that More than Ever has out for the Flawless Frightful and Delightful Cart Sale and Hunt made me smile.

Of Gods and Monsters...



I was honored to be asked to show some of my art work with a collaborative of artists from the Transylvania Art Series at the Vampyre Cultural Center in Second Life. While I have not done many public shows lately, I still do like to create. I have chosen to blog to release some of my creative energy but every so often I will take on the challenge for a bit more.. and this was really just  waiting to come out. There is a lot of allegory and allusion to many themes here, but mainly the concept of the heavenly and the earthly, of the violence perpetrated in the name of "God" and the concept of dark fantasy and horror blending into something that pulls you in despite you wanting to look away. 

I want to thank the creators who make the lovely and amazing things we wear and use for our photos and art. This piece would not have been possible without the creations from the following: 



Tattoo: Endless Pain, Alariel

mask: Psycho Byts, Demon War Mask

hair: Argrace, Azame

tongue: Aii, The Ugly and The Beautiful 
long tongue pack

Wings: DeathRow Designs, Divine Wings

body: Maitreya Lara Mesh Body over my own shape

hands: Slink, elegant

pose: Del May


To these creators I am eternally grateful as their work allows me to create my art. As I always have said, SL is only as good as the amazing creations that are in it. Than you :) 

Summer's Last Breeze..



dress: Glow Designs, Steffi dress
mesh in standard sizes, fitmesh, and Maitreya

no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin..



"I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife..
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life..

Only then I am human
Only then I am clean.."

where bluebirds fly...


I went exploring today and found Evergreen Nook, a lovely sim open to the public for exploration, relaxation and photos. SL is elusive like that.. there are perfect little pieces of paradise created by some wonderful people that are ephemeral. They las for only a few months or years and then they are gone. Its an exercise in letting go and accepting change. For places like this, I'll gladly take the time I can get ;) 

sweater: Dane Markz, Hera sweater
mesh, various colors

jeans: Beautiful Dirty Rich, from Absence of Fear outfit
appliers for various bodies and body parts


hair: Catwa, Sandy Hair

jewelry: Maxi Gossamer

The Fallen...


"They don't tell you how empty it feels.. when you are cast down. There is this hollowness.. this total and complete lack of connection to the Light. Its a coldness that seeps through you, spreads and crawls into your veins as they weave their flesh around you. And when you first hear your heartbeat, its like a thousand drums in your head, an incessant pounding that you want to stop at all costs. He said, "You have a job to do.. It will not be easy, but you are one of my strongest soldiers...remember I love you still". Love. So this is how love feels, as you crawl though the dirt and mud, suddenly learning to breathe through your new lungs... desperate to feel Him, to feel that Light warm you, only to know that you are no longer in Heaven, but a new kind of Hell... Earth."
