Ice Cream Baby

everyone knows 

that ice cream is worth

the trouble of being cold. 

Like all things virtuous, 

you have to suffer 

to gain the reward.

Lumae Love

Chatter was nuts over this new head, I watched and I read as must as I could about it. What made me nervous was that someone said one of the people behind it was connected to Genesis heads and I wasn't a fan of them. Mostly because I was struggling to get used to mesh heads and then they did lots of gachas and that stinks when it comes to heads and skins. Anyway I kept reading and then seen that Lumae was excited over it and was making a skin. So off I went and bought another head.  I made very tiny changes to the face but not enough to really notice. I do like this head though I got a little lost on the hud (more me being silly than the fault of the hud). The skin is stunning on here and  this brand will make me use this head more as they bring out different releases.  Below shows the full skin tone range  from Lumae and remember she caters for all the mesh heads. The price is lower than any other skinner I know and, as if that is not enough, you get the body applier and ears all for that one low price.

I goggled my symptoms, turns out I needed to be on a beach

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail

Where are we going, so far away

And somebody told me that this is the place

Where everything's better, everything's safe

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Dream

Here’s the chance of life

Get ready, set, fly. High! 

Above the fear of your mind

Go for it, it's hit or miss

Too late for you to quit

You gotta show 'em how bad you really want this

Live your dreams, 

It's not as hard as it may seem

You gotta work to get the cream 

On your hopes you must lean

From your fears, you have to win yourself

It's all or nothing, Give your everything

Forget Diamonds - A Dog is a Girls Best Friend

Always happy to see me

Showers me with kisses. That how I know

I'm the one she misses.

When I've had a bad day

She doesn't ask why,

She just cuddles close 

In case I need a good cry

We love goofing around

and having fun as we play

We make time for that

every single day.

So its not hard to see

 Maybe you've guessed

my dog is not just my friend

She is the best

Single and Happy

If you are single, do not worry about finding someone.

Instead, enjoy yourself. Eat good food. Travel to neat places. 

Laugh with people you have nothing in common with.

Do whatever makes you happiest.

You are not in need of an'other half'. 

You are already whole. 

If meet someone or not, you will still be whole..

Tell yourself you are wonderful.

Never hang out with anyone who makes you feel like you're not.

You don't need anyone to be happy.

Focus on yourself, and everything else

will eventually fall into place.

Once Broken

Everything that

once was broken

can be repaired, 

but never again

will it be the same.

As the tears 

will always seep 

between the cracks. 

Etched by memories 

of harboured pain

Have a Vintage Weekend

Vintage fair is on its half way mark and there is still so many things I want to show you in posts. I should have blogged yesterday but  was to emotionally tired to bother.
I went to my fathers grave yesterday to put flowers for Fathers Day. He passed just over 10 years ago but some how this year was much harder with mum gone now too. So while my house isn't this funky and I don't look this cute  this picture just about shows what I felt last night rather than being in SL

The Simple Life

Was life more simple back then ? or do we just romanticise it. I have no idea of that answer. People seemed happier with their lot. Men worked hard jobs with long hours for not so much money and the little woman stayed at home, cooking and cleaning and raising the children. Always looking pretty when the husband arrived home with a cooked meal ready, Now women work and raise the kids and cook the food, even with men helping most of it still falls to to the woman in the home. There might not have been pressure to work and raise a family and have it all back then, but at least now, if  a woman wants to leave a relationship she can. She can even have a family without having the man if she wants. Yes there are more pressures on  women these days but there is also more freedom.  So while I love vintage and I adore living it in SL, I never want the world to go back to what it was back then. We can just keep it romantic n the movies.

Storm Won't Stop My Summer

 We had fantastic weather here for a while, so warm it was to hot to sit in my garden but now there is a storm over us and the winds are so strong it is taking trees done. Funny thing is some people living a round my area are still dressing for summer. It is like 'This is June and I refuse to stop wearing shorts.' Me ? I popped the heating on for a wee while this morning as it was a little cold, or is it old age !

You Have The Right ......

You're human and you have the right to say ''That was shitty of you.'' You have the right to say ''Let me feed that back to you. Tell me, how does it taste?'' You have the right to protest your own mistreatment and set boundaries for respectful interactions. The rest of the world doesn't realise you have this right, they will act offended and appalled when you exercise it, but it is yours

VINTAGE FAIR - 50k ARC limit has been removed

At the opening of every PGP event they have a 50K arc limit to make moving around easier - it is only ever in place at the opening weekend. Most people love this as it makes moving and shopping possible. A few complain (then again a few complain about anything and everything). Well complain no more as the limit has been removed and you can wear  whatever you want. Do remember though, wearing a  ton of huds that are not needs lags the hell out of things for yourself so you screwing yourself by doing this.

I have also seen 2  posts complaining about the build, It is easy to cam around  so I am not sure what the problem is, other than being lazy or wanting to moan because you are a moan. Anyway, here is the links you need to get there
