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 ...

Like a Precious Gem

by El | 0 » | Jul31 10
I will never forget today, love.....ever. I know it was an insignificant little incident to you, but it was EVERYTHING to me. It showed me something that I was not sure was possible. I did not know someone could or would love me like that. I hate it that I cannot sleep, but I expected it to get ...

At the Edge of the World

She stood beside him at the edge of the world. It was most glorious. The morning sun shone thru the fog illuminating the water below. Was it water? Were those stars? Were these clouds or was it fog? She could feel the magic here. It was almost electric. And here she was, ...

History

The Promise Good morning, love.....this just kind of “took off”....and I could not find a stopping place...I just had to let it roll out of me until I could no longer write. It is simply “history”. You WERE there for all of it after all! I am sorry if it bores you...but perhaps it will let you see ...

El and V are reading a blog – Piracy

Here's a new idea: Put the authors of this blog together on skype and make them read blogposts to each other, then post it on the site again. Today, let's talk about piracy. Dwell On It - Piracy (Read it at: Dwell on it - Piracy is a real problem) in connection with this, an older, quite famous piece about the musicians ...

“The British Invasion”

by El | 1 » | Jul26 10
I wish I could adequately express my feelings to you, love. I tried earlier...and did such a poor job. It seems all I can do is CRY when I try to tell you what you mean to me and what a difference you have made in my life. And then I cannot talk...and I forget what I ...

Happy Anniversary, love! Eleven WONDERFUL memorable months. They have been some of the best times of my life. Reading over the logs is always SO wonderful. It is so funny...I always start at the beginning and never seem to get very far! It is wonderful to know that the things that we felt and shared ...

Free to copy

by V | 0 » | Jul24 10
Free to copy Yes, it's there. Look harder. It's on the second level in the pie menu, and in the General tab in Edit. And it's the difference between open grids and closed ones. The difference between OpenSim and Second Life. Everything digital revolves around copying, and copies are not a technical question, but a legal one: Copyright. Laws, unlike technical processes, ...

The Promise

The Promise ((music by Oursvince)) When I had my very first child, I decided that I did not want to be inhibited by any kind of medication that would change my sensory perception. I wanted to experience the entire process AND I wanted to make sure I had a happy healthy baby in the process. That led me to ...

I Found It!

by El | 0 » | Jul22 10
I Found It! Beauty seems to be something we obsess about in our culture. I, like most people I know, have a tendency to first look at someones outward appearance to judge beauty. But I try to NEVER STAY there...I always look deeper to see what is really underneath all that “pretty” before making a final judgement. And ...

When Words ARE Enough

by El | 0 » | Jul21 10
There are so many things that you say that stay with me, love. Sometimes I wonder if you really realize what an impact your words have on me. Sometimes you may say things that others have said a million times before, but when they come from your lips, they somehow impact me the way that no other can. “That's ...
