Another year goes by, our troops are still not home… We all thought things might change for the better…but have they? Something to think about on this day, the day we celebrate our Country’s Independence.
Thank you to all those that SERVE in all parts of the world to keep our citizens safe, able to express ourselves and maintain our rights of freedom. May it be a safe day for those all over the world!

I love to wear lingerie. The problem is that men always rip it off too quickly. When women are dolled up in lingerie they feel sexy. So let us wear it for five minutes. ~ Karen McDougal

So the other day, I just happened to find an LM board for a shop called “Sensuelle”. Of course, I thought… ohhhh another place to buy lingerie… ohhhh I want to go look! The funny part about this is that I rarely have reason to wear lingerie and on the occasion that I might, well, as Karen McDougal says…it often gets ripped right off! *laughs*
However, even though I don’t often wear, I do love to look at it and apparently BUY it too! Sooo… off I headed to Sensuelle! I entered the one shop on the Tamaqua sim and found nice, clean, unencumbered racks displaying some very hot styles! I love the straps and the clean lines of these ‘undies’ and found that in some cases, the textures could also work for swim wear too! The colors include bright, happy, tones as well as dark and sexy. The styles range from girl-next-door to that strong, dominant female! Now if you are the kinda girl who needs to wear stockings, you’ll just have to find some nice hot thigh highs to wear with these sizzling styles, but frankly, I think they look good on their own!

When I found that there was another Sensuelle shop at Rodeo Drive, I headed there too, just to see if I had missed anything! Luckily for me, here is where I met Mirko Panacek, the creator of Sensuelle Lingerie and his friend, Zaza Moo. What a delight! Both friendly, welcoming and very willing to display any piece had I wanted… but since I had already bought a few pieces, I kinda had no need. At the Rodeo shop, Mirko has a couple of freebies out…so stop in there, pick those up and look around. You might just be like me and find several sets you just wanted to put on! (or buy for your girl!)

Before The Metamorphosis Began...
So, a few weeks ago, Jac and I were discussing our sim, Sol Mañanero. We were commenting on how much we enjoyed the natural planted areas and talked about some of our favorite spots – real life and Second Life. As we were conversing, it became evident that another change was in the air for our sim. Jac asked me “Do we really need a commercial area?” I replied, “Well, when we first moved here, it was not in my top 10 wishes, but it made sense at the time…so if we don’t need to have one, I’m good with eliminating it.” So a little time goes by (hours), and it was decided…Sol Mañanero would get back to nature. We would have a natural beach break, no commercial, lots of plants, water features, etc.
Within just a few days, we removed all the shops and every other prim along the shoreline and all of the public area on the sim. We (ok…Jac is the primary terraformer and planter) got to work and started re-creating our world. This world was to be more personal to us, designed to provide a beautiful place for people to visit and enjoy while featuring what we enjoy.

Jac didn’t do much to disturb our home, just the grounds around it. Rocks have become a more important part of Sol Mañanero and these have added so much depth. The elevation of our home and other parts of the sim really seem to be better displayed with a rocky shore line and hillsides. We now have a beautiful, wild, jungly area that reaches down near the shoreline. We have new waterfalls, and enhanced river and streams. There are trails to follow so that you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature including flora and fauna. Butterflies, hummingbirds, herons, egrets, seagulls, and cormorants are all to be found near the beach and water areas. We have put in a stables with a beautiful green grass meadow up on one of the higher elevations, as well (my major contribution was creating the stable from parts of our home) .
Sol Stables
Sol Mañanero still offers an awesome surf break with the surf waves on the sim to the west (Playa Sol Mañanero) and if you love to dive, we still have a great area for diving as well, just under the waves. On our main sim, you will find a few sweet little places to curl up and relax or even float in the water by the primary/central falls. You can walk the trails and explore a bit. The Sol Stables are reached by walking along the southern water’s edge to the most east side and then up the switch back trail. Here you will find our llamas grazing with our horses. Feel free to bring your own horse or if you peek into the stables, you will see that we have horses available as well. Our horses accommodate both one or two avatars. Back down near the central waterfall nearest our entry point, we offer a kayak rezzer just down the trail. Here you can rez either a single or double kayak and head out to explore the sims via water, so very peaceful. Truly our sim is great for an activity-filled date or outing – surfing, diving, kayaking, horseback riding, walking and relaxing – all perfect for that time spent with a friend!

We had a little “open house” party on April 25th to show off what Jac had gotten done by then, but every day … there is a change he shows me and a few that I can show him. I can not tell you how much I’ve loved this metamorphosis … it is breath-taking in so many ways. This is our home…Sol Mañanero…and this just simply fits us…for now *smiles*
You should visit… and see the changes. When you do, be sure to let us know what you think!
’til next time, keep exploring and finding the beauty of Second Life!
