Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

My Mums favourite visits to London were to see Phantom of the Opera. She was lucky enough to see it in the mid 80's with Michael Crawford in the lead role and she played the soundtrack at home often. As a young girl I'm not sure I appreciated the 'music of the night' quite as [...]

No Time for Fairweather Friends

No Time for Fairweather Friends

I adore my close girl friends circle. Now, I've been in SL a long time...coming up on 10 years in November and SL friendships have come and gone for lots of different reasons. My close friends circle have all been round the block a few times too....none of us are newbies when it comes to [...]

I Get What I Want…

I Get What I Want…

I Get What I Want! I wish this was some declaration of how life always turns out the way I had planned. No such luck unfortunately.  There are lots of things I want...some material, some emotional and some more altruistic and I fall woefully short most of the time in all three categories. Does that [...]

Just Find the Feeling, Pass it On

Just Find the Feeling, Pass it On

I was reading on Facebook a post from a fellow blogger and photographer who was delighted to have received an offline message from someone just to let them know that they enjoyed seeing their pics on Flickr.

Ain’t Nothing Going on But the ‘Rents

Ain’t Nothing Going on But the ‘Rents

I have the parental units visiting this weekend. Oh the joy! No, really...it is a joy to see them. As I've written before my stepmother has Alzheimers and my father hasn't always dealt with it well. He's always been a man on a short fuse with a bark terrifying more scary than his bite and [...]

If You Were Born Without Wings, Do Nothing to Prevent Them Growing

If You Were Born Without Wings, Do Nothing to Prevent Them Growing

The title of this post is a quote from Coco Chanel. It's not always easy to avoid the things in life that clip your wings a little but how you deal with those situations and/or people will determine how quickly your wings recover and you feel ready to take flight again. Those scars and dents [...]

A Moment on the Lips, A Lifetime on the Hips

A Moment on the Lips, A Lifetime on the Hips

A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips...or my personal favourite...little pickers wear bigger knickers. Exercise is hard! It's supposed to be hard I guess but there's so many other things that are way more fun to do right? Like...cake and cookies...wine...Second Life...and every girls favourite past time on SL....shopping! We all love [...]

Because You’re Worth It

Because You’re Worth It

I was talking to a friend at a venue yesterday and joking with him about being like a L'Oreal advert. See this friend had flowing golden locks attached to their pixel scalp. What's unusual about that? well normally this person is a teeny tiny cute lil cat.  Seeing them in human form was unusual...seeing them [...]
