Never Let Me Go

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 ...

e!…Ingenue, Essences, Dark Mouse

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 ...

[2010/04/21 6:22] Vanish Firecaster: There’s just… something… in what we share… that creates this… landslide of images… and scenes… and sensations… all at once… even without mentioning them.

El Firecaster nods

Vanish Firecaster: …It’s incredible

El Firecaster: yes…it is!

El Firecaster smiles

El Firecaster: I know exactly what you mean…

Every time that we are together, love…it DOES seem as though everything that we have ever experienced comes to light and flows through us. It gives us a familiarity that makes our every move old and new at the same time. Our time with each other seems to flow so freely and we both enjoy the ease with which we move from one subject to another…and yes…at times…to NO subject at all…just a calm peacefulness that renews our spirit. There is nowhere I would rather be than in your arms…and nothing I would rather do than be with you. I will sacrifice ANYTHING for that, love. My time with you does more for me than anything else I have ever experienced. When I am with you, the pain that often plagues my body seems to disappear for that moment and I am transcended to a place of pure pleasure.

You have ALWAYS been in the back of my mind, love. I have always thought of you and longed for you…as I told you…I would hear the song and think…yes…I COULD fall in love with him. And I KNEW if I EVER found you that I WOULD hold you in my arms and NEVER let you go. I thank God DAILY that he has allowed me that opportunity. Not only COULD I fall in love with you…I HAVE fallen in love with you…

[2010/04/21 7:05] El Firecaster: I feel for him….

Vanish Firecaster: Yeah.

El Firecaster: but I have been “claimed”

El Firecaster smiles and kisses him.

Vanish Firecaster: Mmmmmh. And I’ll defend that claim.

El Firecaster smiles… yes…. you have the right to!

El Firecaster holds him tight.

Vanish Firecaster: Mmmmh.

Vanish Firecaster kisses her softly.

El Firecaster smiles at him…. you know, I LOVE being “yours”.

Vanish Firecaster squeezes her tight.

El Firecaster: It is the most wonderful feeling!
