Getting Back Into the Swing of Things -- Featuring Tresor, [[Masoom]], Zanze, Lyrical Bizarre, {{BSD Design Studio}} and DIRVAL

I came back from the beach, having spent two very special weeks on the shore, to arrive back to the big old word we all know well -- LIFE.

While I was away, it seemed the US Government decided to shut down on 1 October. We knew this was the military new year having been military all the years we've been together but we did not predict they'd actually shut down. It's often a threat, rarely actually happens.

He went in to work, signed the pink slip, made it official, and came home after only being at work one day. When he was on vacation, his mind was set to 'relax' and he is the type of person who has to make himself relax But having to come home again after thinking 'work' was a challenge for him.

In the meantime, I learned how quickly the body breaks down with every virus coming and going while taking this Lupron. It's something of great value to me, to go through with this, but I wasn't immediately expecting a flu virus or anything else for that matter.

I came home passionately ready to get back to work. As you can see by the photos I've shot, I've been back to the shore. I rarely leave it behind for long, and I wanted to 'catch up' on September, and events before they'd come and gone, in the midst of this new growly virus.

There's some irony to the whole virus thing really. We're pretty sure it's a result of numerous medications over the years, a lot of them antibiotics, that I've almost never gotten the common childhood diseases. I bypass them in favor of the big stuff, I guess. Whee!

I've sat down to work on photos and blogging a few times in the past week, with that voice in my head pushing me to catch up, and get things back under what I would call control. Each time I thought I was ready full steam ahead, I wasn't so sure after I sat up and began the process.

So you've seen me in Second Life for little bits and pieces. And the glorious thing to me is the relationships that continue to buffet my world from Second Life and Facebook. No matter what's going wrong or right, there are really dear people waiting to hear about it, share in it, and that's precious.

I've mixed a whole array of photos I've taken from various designers, and designers who've been paired together with other designers to make the 'Caryn' look. Not sure exactly what that look is some days but I seem to see myself in the photos when I look and she looks back!

It's Getting Better All the Time -- Featuring Luziefee, Hairoin, {{BSD Design Studio}}, and [[Masoom]]

I sometimes wonder how things could get any better than they are at any given moment and then I live just a little longer, meet a few more people, get to share my ideas and dreams with special new friends and I realize that there can be no limit to how good something can get because it can get better all the time.

It just does. Of course the mundane parts of life stick around. No matter how many times I do laundry in my lifetime, there will be another load to do soon. It's not those moments that I'm thinking of though. The details in life get more and more precious. It's almost immeasurable.

I put on this amazing gown by Luziefee, the Jordis in pastel, and pulled on the brilliant pink version of Fashion Show First Row heels from {{BSD Design Studio}} and fairly danced around this garden. I twirled and smiled and felt the beautiful recklessness of the moment.

Of all the years I've been here, 8+ or so, I've only run into a rare few whom I could not interact with well, and in those cases, I just walked in a new direction. I learned that focusing on the negatives in life keep us stuck in the past and make it nearly impossible to go forward.

I've made my share of errors. I do so online. I do so offline. I work hard to manage my actions and attitude so that on those occasions when I do miss the mark, I have the character needed to go back to whomever or whatever went wrong and make it right. I wish that for you also. It's so much healthier than carrying around the weight of errors, the guilt you might feel, and darkness surrounding you.

I Haven't Got Time For the Pain -- Featuring SAAL from 24 Event, Pure Poison from 24 Event, Evolve and Luziefee

You know the type. Negative nillies. It really doesn't matter what's happening in his or her life; life just ends up wrong. Sometimes these negative focused personalities can be a little bit energy hungry, plugging in to anyone who will feed them energy by pausing to buy into whatever the latest tragedy is.

It's when it's chronic that it gets dangerous. It's not healthy for the person who wallows in their own mire of darkness and depression. It's also not healthy for the people around them who attempt to help pull them up and out of the murky mess.

What I find most difficult is letting go, and not making time for any more pain. I want to give chance after chance for someone to heal, to change, to grow into a better person. Eventually, I have to pause and say, "I can't listen to this right now. I haven't got time for the pain." Even typing it here as I think about those times I finally did have to say something similar still makes me feel anxious and worried. I feel responsible.

It's never going to be my nature to turn people away when they come to me. If they come with a defeated attitude, already sure they're a super huge failure, and I've had such discussions with them in the past, I offer a sincere hug, a smile, a bit of 'catching up' talk, then I get busy in my world. I enjoy the part of life that shimmers like a bar of gold and shines like a bit of silver.

Glad To Know Glam Dreams Remains! Featuring Glam Dreams

In March, one of the most exciting things I've done as a model occurred. I was permitted to walk in the Model's Workshop Spring Show.

   

 I got to wear designers that I had never known, House of Elliot and Glam Dreams, and a familiar Snowpaws. Being introduced to Glam Dreams was a dream. Everything shown in that show was elegant and sexy. I oohed and ahhhed at the various looks friends got to wear and thrilled at the gown I was given.

    

 Now I find myself embracing the privilege of working with Glam Dreams once more, this time as a blogger. I saw notes go out early in the week two weeks ago that suggested Glam Dreams was closing its doors. I was disappointed!

    

Thankfully, I spoke to one of the store managers who is also a good friend and I learned that only the main location has closed and satellite stores still offer this same beautiful quality that I'd discovered in March. This Butterflies Gown reminds me of why I enjoyed Glam Dreams so much and how much I look forward to new looks as they are revealed.

The Unexpected Act of Kindness -- Featuring Evolve 55L Thursday Deal

We all work in situations where we learn the patterns and daily drill of whatever it is we're invested in, work or play, people or art. The probability of patterns repeating encourage us in a way that psychologically, we may not even realize. That dependable thing though gives us stability and comfort and feed our most basic needs.

When we add new things, or meet new people, or any other first time activity, we have little ability to predict what will happen. It's logical to attach some similar thoughts to similar behaviors, so when I add new designers to my blog, I have some idea what to expect because I've worked with other designers. However, I do have to learn the new designer's personal tastes and ways so that I find balance and make myself the most useful.

This past week, Evolve added me to their blogger list. I was thrilled. When I began blogging over a year ago, I worked really hard to find designers who would work with first time bloggers and for those who helped along the way, I will be ever grateful. Some businesses however, seemed so far removed from something I'd ever earn the privilege of doing. Acceptance as a blogger for this company was one of those impossibilities in my thoughts.

Yesterday, the artistic creator behind the scenes at Evolve contacted all her bloggers and did something so unbelievably kind and unexpected that I sat in silent awe and thanksgiving. I know she's a gifted designer. I knew she had earned her reputation through hard work which I admire. I did not know her personally and so I did not know her personality. This unexpected act of kindness opened my eyes to know her a little better, and I hope to share with those who read my blog and follow my Facebook and Flickr - Reign Congrejo goes beyond the standard, and touches lives in a real and personal way.

Thank you, Ms. Reign, from the depth of my heart.

Not Where It Ends... This Is Just a Beginning

There are ways of looking at life where things that are ending really means they are just beginning. I remember finally understanding Algebra, then in the fall, Calculus was required. When I graduated from High School, College began.

I finally reached my goal of graduating from MVWA. I find it exciting, but only the beginning of becoming a polished, recognized and respected model. This new phase takes just as much concentration and as much passion as well. I've been styling for a year now, intentionally beginning blogging so I would have multiple points of view from designers to practice with and ultimately because I simply loved blogging! I look at this new outfit by [[Massoom]] and the great poses from Demise of Flight and I think to myself, what a wonderful gift to be given, the opportunity to represent these creative people. Each time I go to a casting, or enter a contest or anything else related to our fashion world in Second Life, I know I grow and improve. This is just the beginning. Hang on to your hats, its going to be a wild ride!

Fairy Don't Fly-i-yay

When everything around us is fantastical, why not embrace the fantasy for a little while. I think it's probably what brought us to the net in the first play. It's a place we can all escape, try new things, and fly.

Whether you just embrace the lack of physical laws, or take it to the nth degree, Second Life becomes whatever you want it to be. In any case, exercising the imagination improves life just like exercising the body. It's healthier than many may think.

Liv-Glam and [VCB] Plus PMVH Items from Rivendell and Baubles

With the arrival of 2013, it's time for me to take new risks, step outside the box so to speak, and play with camera angles, settings in world regarding light and shadow, and go beyond just taking a photo. I know this, like any other step, will take time to perfect and in the process, sometimes it will look amazing while other times I will shake my head and grimace.

Inundated with all the holidays and family and things distracting, it'd been a while since I really sifted through the amazing designs that pour out of  Liv-Glam. I truly adore the designer and tease her about the story of the shoemaker and the elves, and ask her from time to time where she hides her elves. 

I LOVED this new dress. It's a favorite, a nod to Asian style, and the beauty of texturing. It's rare for me to want to take so many different photos, but this comes from the fun of the moment, a step beyond the responsibility to the blog. Playing with lighting is one way I have evolved my photography, shooting pictures with all sorts of lighting, night and day. When I added Face Paint's new Sophisticate's "Poison" (preview for the full release coming soon), it looked stunning. A make-up that fits any time of day makes the investment even more appealing.

I joined Chop Zuey's group after only a few thousand nudges from my boss at Face Paint. I know how big a fan Eve is and I know she just wanted me to see the beauty in Chop Zuey creations. I owned a few pieces from Chop Zuey, but now I have so many new pieces to explore. Thanks to a good friend's generous holiday gift and Chop Zuey's holiday countdown 'gifts' still out at her store, I had the greatest fortune. The Black Ice set enhanced the design of the dress, and gave the sparkle that great jewelry provides. A special thanks to Belle for sharing so many treats during the holidays. I'm so blessed and grateful.

The Unique III had six different metallic color pattern options. I loved this one, with a nod to silver and nature, and a peek towards the arrival of spring. Standing in front of the purple irises by the sea, I realized how much like a blooming flower this dress reminded me. 

The skin from Mirror's Enigma eases away from my most familiar skin only slightly. I had the option of using with or without cleavage enhancement, and with the keyhole cutout of the dress, I went with the cleavage enhancement. Tres jolie!

Candy Nail remains one of my favorite nail designers. They have an array of new releases and the Enishi White seen in the photo shows one of several colors in similar style.

Defining what jewelry is needed and when to wear it continues to be a challenge for me. I rarely use jewelry off line. I love the chance to own and wear gorgeous jewelry in Second Life, however, and embrace the treat that's not part of my other world. Chop Zuey had one set created in both white and yellow gold. With the overall silvery look, I knew the white gold version of MaSong fit perfectly.

[VCB] remains a new designer to me. This is the third outfit I've styled that she created and thought the layers and options included in this dress made it more enjoyable and easier to refer others to try. The simple short mini pops in bright pastel tones.

Two pieces seen in the photo with the shorter version of the Renee in Confetti dress are from the PMVH event. You'll notice a simple heart necklace from Rivendell and an unusual piece from Baubles that remind me of brass knuckles. I'm so not a tough girl, yet I wore the Dog Tags w/Small Hearts and knew they were a complete opposite to the pretty necklace from Rivendell. Soft and hard, hearts and brass knuckles. Fun items, hidden for your enjoyment.

When the long flexi skirt attaches, the gown becomes an entirely different dress. I stood quietly in a meadow as the sun set and wondered if I were very quiet, would the fae come and sing to me as they lit the sky dancing at dusk. I never saw a fairy while I walked along the path, but the dream was there.

KR (Kim Rongyu), Artistry by ~E~ and Midweek Madness

I've known Kim Rongyu just short of one year and have seen her do just about everything in Second Life related to fashion and the fashion industry, and now she's added one more success. During the final few months of this year's Miss Virtual World contest, a contest for which Kim represented Cyprus as MVCyprus, Kim also opened her own store.

During a conversation about her latest endeavor, she shared several items that were part of her store. The Kepi outfit on the left is all mesh, definitely perfect for a business meeting or interview an the chill of this time of year. The Calista dress had multiple patterns and colors, and this one I chose 'Leaf' reminded me of brighter seasons, spring and summer, and packing to travel to Casa Blanca for a getaway mid-winter to warm up and have fun. The dress certainly suits such an occasion. The deep green/teal long sleeved Bobbi Knit sweater dress is my favorite of the three. I could see me wearing that dress many places, right this minute. I'd download it to my living room if I could!

Shoes paired with the middle dress come from Felicity and are part of the Midweek Madness sales program. If you haven't heard about this program, the information listed below will help you find who participates and how to add your business to this weekly sales program.

Lyrical Bizarre,*RnB*, [DOLLHOUSE] and Style by Kira at 12 Days Event PLUS New Emotions Resolution

A great diversity of items may be found in the Hunt/Fair at Flawless. This time, I put together a few of the props, new skin and shape, and a new gown.

The little Christmas trees by *RnB* Designs and Furniture were more like wall hangings than trees. This saves on space, especially if you live in a low prim property. 

Style by Kira produces skins and shapes and brought some for you to see and try as part of her contribution. It's always fun to play with new shapes and skins, especially when it's time for a make-over.

[DOLLHOUSE] offered several cute little knicknacks; one of them was a collection of colored rings that reminded me of round hard candy that my grandmother had out for us when see her once a summer. The one that suited this dress was blue peppermint.

Normally Lyrical Bizarre sells full perm mesh items that other designers buy and texture to resell. Since this is a sale as well as a hunt, she decided to change the perms on her items. If you really LIKE her mesh and sculpts in these ideas, you may return to her shop and get one or two of her full perm items to see what you can make from them. Meanwhile, like the Northern Blue Gown which is breathtakingly beautiful, there were an array of other clothing sets. 

Emotions hair released mid-week came as a surprise to all of us. The hair in this photo is a very tightly wound updo and the name of it is 'Resolution'. Have you begun to write yours yet? I always think I have resolved something but I need a litle more work. *s*

[[Masoom]] at Winter Fair

So many winter designs come out at this time of year that are holiday specific. It's great to have so many sparkly things to choose from but it's also really great that [[Masoom]] went in another direction with their Winter Fair contribution.

The pants suit has system pants with sculpted cuffs and a simple system shirt shell under the jacket. The jacket is mesh and fits loosely and casually. It suits the winter climate and will be useful long after the new year arrives.

Naughty Naughty and Midweek Madness

I don't know how naughty I felt this week with Naughty Naughty's contribution to Midweek Madness, but I did feel lovely.

This outfit came with two very different skirts and a pair of pants as well (not shown in the photo). The pants suit repeated the pattern of the top and jacket layer in sleek skin tight violet. The bell of the ball gown swept sweet whispering secrets as the skirts swished at my ankles, while the soft fur skirt and wrist cuffs added warmth to an otherwise very mini skirt. The options for wear make this outfit compilation extra special.

Elegance by Elysa at Midweek Madness

Thanks to some very thoughtful friends, I've had land recently that covers enough space to allow me to rez some larger structures and review some beautiful items marketed during the Midweek Madness sale event.

This Moroccan build comes from Elegance by Elysa, and at first, when I saw its vendor photo, I did not perceive its size. I put myself in the photo of this unique build so you could see the scale a bit better. It's constructed well with wonderful textures that suit the Moroccan theme very well.

To buy this and other beautiful items, visit Elegance by Elysa and for more information on the Midweek Madness event, visit their Kiosk.

Felicity Shoes and Midweek Madness

Felicity Shoes have two colors of the Gianna Stiletto on sale this week for Midweek Madness.

I have shoes from all over Second Life, and from as far back as designs that were created in early 2005. It's really rare to find a pair of rose tinted shoes. I've seen a whole plethora of brilliant color variations of red and pink, but rose seems to be more of a challenge. Felicity has a pair of rose and a slate blue pair on sale this week, and I found them both to be unique and useful colors.

Luziefee and Midweek Madness

So many choices to mix and match when a designer offers a fat pack for any price, and when the price is set for Midweek Madness, you know the deal is going to be s-w-e-e-t-t-t-t!

I chose the bright animal print paired with the black pants, both of which were system pieces, with sculpted extras at the pants cuff to give dimension. As you can see in the smaller photo, there are numerous colors in the fat pack of both top and slacks.
