As Old As a Dinosaur In SL-years -- Featuring Carrie's Lingerie and {{BSD Design Studio}}

I shot this first set of photos that I'm sharing today just before bed last night. I was unpacking another item from a business that has an owl rest on your shoulder instead of a bag appear in your hand (or box) and it was the second time I'd had something from them. The owl fascinated me, and it made for a fun pose to share this Carrie's look. Lingerie with a tiny little skirt, a separate piece that's the corset, wear all the pieces or mix and match.

I put on a pair of BSD Design studio heels and then worked with pieces of jewelry from several different sets. The shape I use with Carrie's Lingerie, and a few other designers who focus on nightwear or swimwear is a bit different. She's got curves to go with her hot sawssss... and she knows how to use them. I even pulled out a pair of earrings I received as a gift and kept, and the designer no longer exists in world so there are no creators. I'm as old as a dinosaur in SL-years!

I'm so thankful for the designers who support my blog:

You Are Loved -- Featuring Pichi from Couturier's Docks, Kastle Rock Couture, EMO-tions and Maxi Gossamer

Sometimes the simplest ends up being the most elegant. When I tried on EMO-tions new hair this week, Leena, I found myself feeling like a Southern Belle from another century, ready to ply my charms on the nearest Rhett Butler. The Marlena gown from Kastle Rock Couture also struck me as very simple, sweet and innocent and went well with the upswept coif.

I know this time of year brings celebration to some families, while others with other faith backgrounds enjoy tomorrow as just another lovely Sunday to relax during a weekend. I had friends over the years who celebrated other holidays, but didn't mind the ones that had made their way into the US culture to a point that businesses closed and people had long weekends.

You don't have to agree to a certain religion to enjoy the holiday and wherever you are in our wide world, I do hope you find the day tomorrow filled with good things. To those who celebrate a holiday tomorrow, I wish you happy family time, sharing with loved ones and friends, and whatever traditions you keep each year.

I've done a little bit of this and that through the years. Some of you know that I was a Youth Pastor along my journey, a marriage counselor, and other tangents to being a member of church staff. My personal theology has always been simple. I don't know a lot of doctrine, and it doesn't phase me. I know that people need to know they're loved, unconditionally, and that in this wide, scary world, At least one Southern Belle, in her teenytiny town loves you.

My blog would not exist without your support and that of these amazing designers:

Sensually Addictive -- Featuring Carrie's Lingerie, Gaeline, Eclectica Relic Jewelry

One of the things I look forward to month to month are the sumptuous creations at Carrie's Lingerie. There are always new releases, but additionally, she has a Limited item that runs for a single month and also has a special new item for VIP members only. Last month she did two Limited edition items, one for the month of March and one for Mardi Gras.

I have far more Carrie's Lingerie than I could show you in one sitting so I'll being April with April's Limited, Fireangel and show you just one of the many treats given to VIP each month by showing you the extra special 1500 Member VIP gown.

I took a photo of both of these beautiful pieces of art in their entirety, then broke it down to the very basics of the lingerie tucked in below all the rest. Most of Carrie's pieces, whether they're new releases, special releases, hunt items or anything else, contain a number of layers so you have multiple ways to wear the outfit. Some have even more, with shoes and makeup added to make for a perfect outing all in one.

My great thanks to the designers who made these two looks possible:

This time, I had so many new things to share, I didn't title the blog at all. I would have titled it, "What a Difference a Day Makes." I've had my family home for 4 days and they leave tomorrow. I don't know why having that 5th day made such a difference, but somehow it did. Everyone relaxed just a little bit more.

Sometimes all we need is a little umph to get through the day or feel like we've arrived at our destination all intact. I think that extra day today, and traveling tomorrow instead, helped each of them in their own way, and it made it more enjoyable to me.

I had my first home Thanksgiving on Thursday in more than 5 years. I don't recall the last time I did. On Friday, I traveled the two hours 'home' to see more family. It's a trip I rarely make and something that normally exhausts me. I'm tired, but it was rich and wonderful and so great.

I didn't do so much yesterday but today I had renewed energy once more, and we went to dinner. And the joy of the moment, I haven't had to use my wheel chair since my new doctor helped with new meds. I had an extra day with the guys, and what a difference a day makes.

Live! Laugh! Love!
