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 ...

Oh love. It was especially hard for me to leave you tonight. I wanted SO badly to curl up in your arms and never leave. I still find myself crying if I think about it long enough. I would never MEAN to push you away. You HAVE to know, love...that would never be my intent. ...

[2010/05/29 5:21] Vanish Firecaster: Maybe I'm naive, but I believe that many things will get better when you're here. El Firecaster: I hope so. It is totally selfish on my part....I know that...but I sometimes think that at least... Vanish Firecaster: Hm?

Being “Mute”

Good morning, love. This will be short and sweet, I do not really know what to say, but I wanted to write something. I know you said I did not have to write something everyday, but I did not want you to come here and wonder why I had not written anything, so......here it is. I'm sorry I kept ...

When Is a Rose Just a Rose?

by El | 0 » | May27 10
She walked along the shoreline watching the peaceful waters hit the sand, ending up in her field of roses. She had put on one of her favorite dresses and listened to music that he had given her as she slowly trekked back and forth. She knew that she had kept him too long the night before and always ...

Erika Lust – The Good Girl; a creative commons licensed porn movie

by V | 8 » | May26 10

It's a 20 minute short movie featuring some tasteful and nicely done porn scene with a bit of story wrapped around it. It  was produced in 2004 and originally was licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License. While the movie is not ...

the night

by V | 0 » | May26 10
the night We sprawl through half-deserted streets The silent moonlight showering The quiet night air lowering We crawl where hollow nightshades lead We chase an empty mile around And while I am the heathen king For you, you are my evening And call to me without a sound Until we radiate in light Invisible, and out of sight You whisper to me, blossoms bright I smile at you; you are my night.

Gently Remind Me

by El | 0 » | May25 10
My Dear, Sweet Husband, I hate the way we left last. I know “we” were fine, but I worry for YOU, love. I know things are hard and confusing right now. I wish it were different, but when we talked, MOST of the things you wanted, you either had or were in your reach. Of course I ...
