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 ...

wish

wish I wish, I wish I owned the sea. I wish I slept infinitely. Oh would my faded eyes just see Where I am bound, where we could be. I wish the sea would reach the sky And if we fall, we find the day And dig inside each other's clay. I wish for poppies in July. What happens when our souls collide? When all the stars of all the ...

Wildes Herz

Wildes Herz Tränken wir doch nur die Ferne Träumten den binären Traum Dinge, die ich niemals lerne Worte ohne Zeit und Raum Diese Seite meiner Augen Dieses Bild in meinem Geist Diese Daten, die wir saugen Dieser Traum, der Cyrrus heißt Dieses Ufer, wo ich stehe Ist nur ein verbranntes Land Und wo immer ich auch gehe Bleibt nur eine Spur aus Sand Wie ein Buch in einer Flasche Schwimmen meine Worte fort Fallen durch ...

Weltnacht

Weltnacht Ich war ein Jäger in der Nacht, Und was ich einmal ausgemacht, Das ging mir nimmermehr verloren, Meinen Augen, meinen Ohren. Meine Hände war'n von Erde, Meine Stimme voller Holz. Was ich bin ist was ich werde, Was ich war mein ganzer Stolz. Man hat mich überall zumeist Nur einen Wanderer genannt, Doch ich bin endlos weit gereist, Weil ich als Bote ward entsandt. Man sage mir doch nur, wie man das ...

Die Göttin unter’m Meer

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
Die Göttin unter'm Meer Wann immer ich ein Wasser seh' Schmeck' ich das alte Meer. Mit Algenschaum und Salz vermischtes Blut läuft niemals leer. Wann immer ich am Ufer steh' Umspült mich Wiederkehr Und zieht die Füße unter mir Hinaus, hinaus auf's Meer. Das erste Schiff mit dem ich fuhr, Das war die Kerouaine. Wir waren dreizehn Hand an Bord, Der Maat hatt' nur noch eine. Wir fuhren Teak nach Panama Und Eulen nach ...

Geisterseher

Geisterseher Ich war, wo viele niemals waren Und bin wo and're niemals sind. Ich hab' die Ewigkeit erfahren Und rannte durch die Hölle blind. Ich sah die Toten groß und klein Inmitten Gräbern und Gebein; Gefangene in ihrem Garten So sitzen sie dort stumm und warten. Ich gab dem Wahnsinn meine Stimme Und dem Grauen mein Gesicht. Was sie mir alles anvertrauten Wahrlich, das verrat' ich nicht. Der Fürst, er trat zu mir ...

Home Torn 'way from the life I left My home in ruins far away Can you say what lies ahead? Alone I stand nothing to say Even though I am still here My spirit travels far away I return to my friends there I talk to them nothing to say After all though I'm not sane I think I'll remain much the same Changes upon changes come But I'm still here, nowhere ...

Slobo

Slobo There's a part of this land With a line in the sand Where they stand and fight 'til they fall. And a stubborn old man Sees the blood on his hand Saying "stand your ground, troops, hear my call! Listen! This is our land That we have to defend So I send you to tear down the wall!" Then he turned around and Down the staircase he went To a party ...

in me.

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
in me Again I lie here, crying still A single sound that bears my name. I could go on but lost the will Since sadness to my shy world came. A time device is striking seconds The chaos tamed with scheduled scheme. My inside chaos as I reckons Is ruling my whole sorted dream. This pointless passing is my life Though once I had another life And now I'm looking for ...

Wish me well

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
wish me well Hear me, world of hate and lies, Hear my words and heed them well! Know where my misfortune lies: Hidden deep within a well. There my path leads me from here Through a channel, dark and wide; Sorrowed angels song I hear Resound from my well's other side. As I dive into the pool And break the mirror's well-masked face I recognize me being a fool As my immortal ...
