Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little.  There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

    A while back my wonderful partner, Vanish suggested that I stop making my blogs SOOOO detailed and just blog about the one or two items of each outfit that really caught my attention.  That is SOOOO hard to do when there are SOOOO many pretty things just staring back at you!  The funny thing about it, is that this outfit ...

Remembrance

My precious husband, As I thought back to the way we were remembering our meeting this morning, I could not help but think of the very first note that you ever wrote to me.  I remember reading it and literally feeling like my heart would stop!  They were the most beautiful words anyone had ever "said" to me....and I can remember ...

A Bay City Evening – Part II

A Bay City Evening Pt 2 They were sneaking down corridors in the dark, only illuminated by an emergency lighting that made their bodies shimmer, both wearing their bodysuits as almost as open as they had int he office and followed the floor layout of the plan. They descended stairs in the shadows, crawled across balustrades, slid along darkened walls, until ...

A permanent

by El | 0 » | Feb27 10
Thank you, love for being “a permanent” in my life at a time when few things are.  I feel as though I go from day to day never knowing what will change... what new thing will happen…or what old thing will suddenly disappear.  But the one thing I know…is that you love me…ME…not just some image on a screen or ...

A Bay City Evening – Part I

A Bay City Evening Pt 1 The streets of Bay City are paved with high rising buildings which were mostly erected during the first half of the previous century. There were only a few skyscrapers in the city, most buildings stopped at a modest height of about 20 or 25 meters. The Firecaster Building was no exception. Though it slumped slightly ...

A Bay City Evening – Prologue

A Bay City Evening Prologue Shadows crawled out of the canals as the sun sank wearily beyond the portlands, casting the streets of Bay City in a fiery orange glow. The traffic slowly ceased as the street lamps sprang to light one by one, welcoming the nightfall with flickering beams. They made the onslaught of darkness both more and less harsh ...

Down the rabbit’s hole…

Where can you start your day relaxing in a hammock, in your best dress and jewels, only to find that your husband has bought a new car?  And of course you must take a ride through the city...with the roof down no less!  What GLORIOUS sites to see as you fly through the air, quite often on purpose, but mostly ...

The parting.

by El | 0 » | Feb25 10
She looked at the hammock and watched it sway as he left.  It WAS always SO hard to watch him leave.  She often imagined what he did when he left her, if it was as hard for him as it was for her.  She knew that when she left him and went to bed, that she often let the thoughts ...
