.. remember the sound ..

In Second Life, we always have places where a formal gown is appropriate or even required. This could be for a party, a night out dancing, a show or maybe just hanging out alone in the snow. This beautiful gown from Fuzz Lennie over at Zanze would be a perfect addition to your closet. The gown hugs your curves and I was able to wear it with my mesh body from Maitreya very easily. The straps wrap over the shoulders to end in a beautiful detail – a metal scroll and a dropped gem!. Not only will you look ravishing as you enter a room, your exit will be just as engaging!

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you….
In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other;
only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches
when you can savor belonging to yourself.
~Ruth Stout

Of winter’s lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer’s secret
Deep down within its heart.

.. a smile ..

January 15, 2015 / Sunshine / Leave a comment

Strawberry Singh posted a “Monday Meme Challenge” last week (January 5) that encouraged all to put on a smile and create a yearbook pic. I’m really not a fan of smiling avatars in Second Life and only rarely try but I decided… why not?

Yearbook Smile Meme 011514

We have so many things to smile about as a new year kicks in and perhaps we should project those smiles in the virtual world too. 2015 will bring about interesting change for me. I will be making a real life move sometime in February to be close to family. This will be a very welcome change as I will also be exiting the cold damp winter and shoveling snow. While I do look forward to it, there are lots of things that make me nervous like when I graduated from high school… I was headed out as an exchange student to Australia and well that was a big change. An exciting one but still something that made me nervous. This time, it is bit different. The nerves are derived from excitement and fear about moving away from home or being far away from the familiar. This time those nerves surround my work. I am blessed that I will still be working for the same manager, in the same division and doing basically the same thing… just in a remote situation. The nerves come in when I start wondering how it will work; will my manager feel that I am more easily expendable; will I feel totally disconnected? I’ve discussed these with my boss and my plan is to work in an office a few days a week and from home the other days. This will at least provide connection with people, even though it won’t be my staff or my direct peers. Working in the office also gives me the opportunity to network in case my manager does decide that my position is no longer needed in his division. At least I would possibly know someone who knows someone who has a position available if I work from the office most of the time. All in all though, moving will be good. I might not be in Second Life as much because obligations will change, but I will still be here.

.. secret’s safe with me ..

January 3, 2015January 3, 2015 / Sunshine / Leave a comment

Winter is really an awesome time to take pics in Second Life. The clothing options are fun with the great textures and designs that we find across the grid. And the holidays often bring other fun things like gifts and such. Because of a group gift, I decided to pull my malt Sol out and snap some pics with him.

If you ever need me
Just tell me and I’ll be there
Cause I was built for you
Yes I was built to carry all your feelings

Cause I won’t let them know
I won’t let you go baby
I don’t care what your past is
I don’t need no answers
Just have faith in me

Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep
Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep

No need to step back
Don’t be scared, I got you, you know that
I’m here when you are sad
When all of your clouds turn black

Cause I won’t let them know
I won’t let you go baby
I don’t care what your past is
I don’t need no answers
Just have faith in me
