From My Boudoir - Featuring October's 4Seasons, Lushish Catz, and Brii Underground

Something sexy.

Something fun.

Something from my boudoir.

I love the new Slink hourglass body. I actually like several of the mesh bodies that came to fruition while I was away last year. 11 months is a VERY long time in SL years. It ages more quickly than dogs do. I own three bodies but I've only used the Slink because it has the most applications for what was already in my inventory and what's being produced by the people out there doing the designs in the greatest quantity and quality that I've yet seen. I could be corrected and learn more and new tidbits tomorrow, however, so stay tuned. I could love Eve and Maitreya equally as well, and just not have a great deal of exposure to them yet. 

All in good time. Despite being gone a year, and feeling the need to catch up on so much all at once, I'm determined to stroll and enjoy the walk, to see and inhale and enjoy the details. Life is beautiful and meant to be savored one rose petal at a time. And believe it or not, I think we're meant to savor the dark moments as well because without them, we wouldn't know how glorious a sunset or a rose in bloom really is.

The skins at October's 4Seasons look yummy on the Slink body. This one came out last year, as part of the holidays, and oh la la, perfect for a bedroom steamy eyes sultry come and get me photo. Uh huh!

Lushish Catz sounds a little naughty, just saying the name of the store. Fun! The appliers work on the Omega, which opens the door for a lot of mesh body application, a separate application for Slink and another for TMP. No matter how you slice it, you end up dressed - or undressed in this case - to entice!

Brii Underground and Playfull Mesh have a HUGE warehouse of ideas and options and this designer must work days, nights, weekends and holidays to create as much as appears on a regular basis. "Til Death" earrings come from a complete outfit. Even if you shop an exclusive number of stores for your work in SL Fashion, knowing a few places to find accessories and tidbits that aren't in that circle of shops might be of value. Every little detail counts.

Near the end of 2013, I was thinking intensely about how I could work with my blog in 2014 and do something more with it than 2013. I evolved a great deal between 2012 and 2013 and wanted the same to be true the next year. Then I really wasn't here. Yes, I blogged continually, coming in just long enough to style and blog an outfit, then heading back to bed. It put a damper on my ability to add to what I'd started, and for a while, I felt really badly about it, mostly giving myself a hard time. Then I realized what I would say to someone else, if they came to me with the same story, the same sense of guilt or remorse, and that look, you know the one, hands in the air, eyes rolling, and that face that says "I give up."

Well I haven't given up, because I had the same talk with myself that I'd share with a good friend. If I'd tell my good friend that it was okay to be human, to falter, and that health and things like that surpass anything related to the net and if friends and coworkers didn't understand, then I would still need to do what was good for my body. It was a good little pep talk and I feel more rejuvenated as a result. It may almost be July, but I think despite my health's roller coaster January through June, I've done a lot of blogging and none of it looks worse for the wear. I had fun with it. It helped me avoid thinking about self and focusing on negatives. In essence, it was exactly what I needed it to be when I needed it.

Today, I worked on a concept photo. I know there are enormous numbers of people who are awesome photo work experts. They can take a common little simple blank background picture and turn it into a masterpiece. My dearest Ms. Oh-la-la can do it. I've seen it in other photographers' portfolio as well. But I've barely begun to put my toe in the water, and certainly not ready to jump into the deep end! I had the inspiring new hair from !:Lybra:! It made me feel like a ray of light and energy, and I do often feel like that's my role, not connected to any business in SL or out, to share a ray of light, a bit of life and positive energy. New swimwear from Brii Underground at Summer Fashion Festival, bright white (or black as the other option) suited my brilliant light I wanted to translate to you via my photograph. For a concept photo, I hope it worked. I know it's a lot of fun to really play with a photo once it's taken and now that the bug has bitten me, I hope to share others in the near future.

My warmest thanks to those who designed the elements that ultimately became this styling:
