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 ...

03 We To be there, immortality I‘ll find you in the rest of me With peace and insecurity You‘ll be the one that‘s meant to be. And after all is fled and gone And after nothing more to tell When every other candle fell You‘ll be the one to bring the sun. Behind the lower curtain dark There lies a feather of your soul It stirs and lets the river roll I‘ll ...

02 you

The sky is light, the ground is dark And time, it travels nice and slow I enter the unliving bark Where the undying spirits go I fall, I sink, I drift, I fade And dream of mirrors watching me I hide their faces, they hide mine And scratch the surface evenly Where ever you may sleep tonight Or where your bones were laid to rest I will not stand there ...

I don‘t know why I‘m dreaming black Or why the mirrors sometimes fade In grey and cob-webbed corners hangs The dust of which the dreams are made I don‘t know why the stars were dimmed Or where they ever wont to gae I always sleep on bridges where The wizards used to lay their way I don‘t know where the voices went Or if they ever sounded loud It‘s just ...

Wenn eins ums and‘re Blatt verweht, Wenn kein Stein auf dem and‘ren steht Wenn aller Städte Mauern fallen Und in der Leere wiederhallen Wenn alle Lebenden und Toten Die Sünder und die Gottesboten Einander nicht erkennen können Und von der eig‘nen Wahrheit tönen.. Dann führt kein Weg uns mehr zurück Und weiter geht es auch kein Stück Dann weht um uns streng aus Nordwest Ein Eiseswind, des Winters Schwert Das mitten durch ...

Wir sind einsame Inseln auf dem Meere der Zeit Und wir driften vorüber in die Ewigkeit Wir sind winzige Lichter in der Dunkelheit Und wir leuchten nicht hell und nicht weit. Wir sind träumende Affen, deren Mund offensteht Und wir seh‘n zu den Sternen auf die niemand versteht, Sind gefangen im Wahn dieser Wirklichkeit Und der Affe träumt weiter von Unendlichkeit. Das Leben - ein Spiel, die Sonne ...

Was seh‘ ich dorten vor mir steh‘n, In Eisesluft und Schneeverweh‘n? Durch schwarzer Äste wild geflirr So schimmert es herein zu mir. Ein Schemen nur, ein Geistgestalt, Ein ewig stiller Wächter hier. Phantome jagen durch den Wald, Sind ringsumher und über mir. Kann niemand sagen, was man meint, wenn man vom Geist der Stille spricht? Wenn man gar manche Zeit zerbricht? Bloß hohle Worte, wie mir scheint. Und wenn man schließlich gar ...

06 Schatten und Dunkelheit Durch die Dunkelheit vertausendfacht zerfällt die Zeit. Durch die Dunkelheit ganz eingeklemmt, doch endlos weit; Bin bereit. Und die Feuerstraßen flackern, weisen lodernd mir den Weg Und ich brenn' mit ihnen herrlich, werd' vom Wind hinweggefegt. Aus der Höhe seh' ich Zeichen auf den Landen unter mir Die scharf aus der Schwärze leuchten, wo ist das Hier? Und drehen, drehen ohne Zahl, vergehen mit ...

Tue nur wie Dir geheißen, rede ehrlich, frage nicht, Dann gehörst Du zu den Weisen, denn Gehorchen heißt die Pflicht. Lerne nur, was Du kannst brauchen, übe fleißig, schreibe schön. Warum in die Tiefe tauchen, wo so wenig ist zu seh‘n? Arbeite nur auch recht redlich, nimm Dein Geld und gib es her. Immer nur mehr lernen geht nicht, habe teil auch am Verkehr. Und dann ...
