"The Last Snowfall" If this were the last snowfall No more halos on evergreen If this were the last glimpse of winter What would these eyes see? If this were the last slow curling Of your fingers in my palm If this were the last I felt you breathing How would I carry on? This is not the last snowfall Not our last embrace But if I were that kind of grateful What would I try to say?  Vienna Teng  ______________________    eyes: Mesange, Deep Feelings Eyes @Be Beauty Event sold as a pack of 15 eyes,  exclusive to the event which includes mesh eyes, system eyes, as well as Omega appliers for omega eyes (such as LOGO eyes)  as well as a HUD for Genesis eyes Be Beaty Event runs from the 1st to the 27th of each month hair: Lamb, Shadow skin appliers: Lara Hurley , Gia head: Catwa , Tumble bindi: Rust Republic , applier for Catwa

 This post has a little bit of fashion and a little bit of decor as I wanted to show this awesome dining set by Kaerri Designs, the Opi set. Lovely modern steel and wood design that fits so many types of decor, and comes with pretty much all you would need to host a lovely dinner party for a few friends or an intimate evening with a special someone. I felt it fit in an outdoors setting, and the colors reminded me of Tuscany, vineyards and the late summer evenings full of color. The dress from KiB fit that theme so well, and the lovely casual look was still polished and sexy. Finally, this gorgeous head from Catwa, just released, called Kori.. on sale for 400L and it comes with 5 lip options (five different static heads actually).  I loved the features and am glad I followed my impulse to get it. Its the weekend and my lovely table is set with delicious appetizers and wine, I am all dressed to relax by the setting sun, and now all I need is a friend or two to chill with.. ...

"I measure the time and I stand amazed..." a lyric from one of my favorite singers, Vienna Teng,  is something that comes to mind alot these days. SL has been an interesting mix of varied experiences, and I can honestly say I would not change any of them. Each experience, each encounter, has taught me something, a lesson learned about the human heart and the human experience and friendship. In so many ways I have been blessed with having shared some incredible stories with some amazing souls. Some have chosen to close their books,  perhaps our stories have ended.  Some have chosen to keep me in their story, and for that I am humbly grateful. May you all share in each other's stories and may your guide always be kindness... xoxo  dress: ArisAris , Creativity Dress, mesh, with texture change HUD earrings: Indulge Temptation , simplicity set necklace: Izzie's  @ the Epiphany skin appliers: Glam Affair, Hope for catwa @ Collabor88 hair: Elu...

"You once said I was as close to perfection as to be indistinguishable from it.." she said in a hushed tone. Her back was to him, her eyes fixed on the still, dark water beyond the decaying garden and mausoleum. She could sense him, sense his warmth, his humanity, so enticing... she closed her eyes and took a deep, steadying breath. Her pale skin nearly glowed in the moonlight. She knew he was staring at her, his eyes had not left her form since he arrived. His image was burned into her mind such that she never needed to see him really.. all she had to do was think of his deep dark skin, his broad shoulders, smooth wide lips, deep brown eyes, and her mind would call him forth, a perfect rendering of desire. He took a step forward, one hand reaching out. She spun around, her preternatural speed stopping him in his tracks. "don't", was all she said. One simple word, heavy with warning. Her eyes glowed, and her fangs bared just over her slightly parted lips. ...

“I once had a love who folded secrets between her thighs like napkins and concealed memories in the valley of her breasts. There was no match for the freckles on her chest, and no one could mistake them for a field of honeysuckles. Upon her lips, a thousand lies were spread in sweet gloss. Her kiss was like a storybook from ancient history. She was at home with the body of a man inside her, beside her. At night, when she lay in bed crying, no one could mistake the tears she wept for a summer shower She is gone, my love. She was a wanderess, a wildflower.” ― Roman Payne eyes: Mesange , Legend eyes,  @ Designer Circle head: Catwa, Cami skin applier: Insol , Illona in copper hair: Magika stay the night gloss: Dulce Secrets, Luster gloss applier set

Hunts are always a fun way to find some really cool new stores and designer that you may not know of, and on top of it for free! Womenstuff Hunt is an annual hunt in SL that has always had so many lovely items for the ladies that its really worth checking out. If you are new to the SL experience I'd highly reccommend doing a hunt or two.  I think its very generous of creators to participate in these hunts as they really are under no obligation to. And, the same goes for group gifts. I highly reccomend the next time you get a group gift from one of your groups, send a thank you note to the creator letting them know you appreciate it. I know most of them will appreciate knowing you like their gifts :) The items I am showcasing here are from Alien Gizmo, the top is for the Womenstuff Hunt and the skirt is their group gift. If you haven't heard of this designer be sure to check out more of their work in their store. See below for details. top: Alien Gizmos Marian top for Wom...
