Light is slowly fading, ebbing away like the tide, leaving a wordless melancholy. Seasons changing, shifting, urging me to slumber and rest with the setting sun. I close my eyes on the light. When they open I hope and pray for autumn’s quiet yet passionate colors to unfold.
Are the shadows growing? Are my eyes tricking me? Something has changed. Was it me? A quiet calm approaches and beckons me into its embrace. Who calls to me now with such familiarity?
Every parting is bittersweet. My old friend, I feel you near once more. Come closer and leave the kiss I truly long for.

Night draws closer as I wander amongst the shadows of the room. A soft hum of anticipation buzzing under your skin. Tingles, hair standing up on the back of your neck, pulse beating hard and fast. Fear keeps you frozen in place as I drift near; your breath catches in excitement as I inhale your scent. With an exhale, my cigarette’s smoke mists across your face. You fight a cough. I arch a brow.
With a lazy heeled turn, I make my way back to the smooth wood desk piled high with manuscripts with hidden secrets you yearn to glean. Perhaps one day you’ll learn them. Perhaps one day you’ll pass them along to your children.
With a predatory smile from my lips as I lounge back in my leather chair, cigarette holder held aloft, you gulp and think to yourself that perhaps you may never see another night again.
My lovely readers, I apologize for my absence. As I’m sure many of you can empathize with, real life has been rather surreal and motivation low for hobbies many of us usually enjoy. This last set from Dictatorshop, however, inspired me to tap into my darker sultry side again.
For 20% off while at Cosmopolitan, the Port Royal Executive Suite offers a world of options for decorating and roleplay. You can choose between PG, Vanilla, and Kink sets to accommodate all of your needs. Each piece is loaded with animations so you will never be bored no matter what you are wanting to do. As always, Dictatorshop offers you gorgeous texture options to ensure it suits your tastes. After Cosmopolitan is over, the set will be at the mainstore for you to try out.

As the waves crash upon me, Mother Nature’s power pushes me onward, into the Ocean’s depths then up again toward the shore. I call out for help, for someone, but the waves crash against me again, pushing me under. I’m on my own, fighting the tides, battling to keep my head above water and watching for a stray boat, another swimmer. Is there anyone out there?
I surrender. Letting go out of the past, my present, and future. I’ll fight on, following wherever the current takes me.

She was bewitching to behold. Fire in her veins glowing righteous blue so bright you had to look away, yet dared not turn your gaze for fear of missing every stunning glimpse. Every step she took was a dance fit for the stage, only her stage a forest her heart dwelled in. Dancing partners the trees. Owls and crickets her orchestra. Moonlight kissed her skin as her soul shone in the darkness of Night’s Shadows.
When she broke into a beautiful disaster, her fire threatening to tear all asunder, her body burnt to ash floating upon a breeze. Pain fueled her passions. Darkness embraced her being; she reveled in it, craved it, cherished every aching breath. Love was her power; even broken, her heart overflowed like the sea at high tide. Like a phoenix she’d rise again, glowing brighter than every Time before.
Fire consumed her, yet she’d always survive, weathering every storm that came her way.

Looking back on the past 12 or so months, I have been battling demons and dealing with some of the toughest health issues of my life. Four ER trips, a two-month stint in the hospital following major surgery, and multiple traumas that no one should have to go through made up the majority of my 2019. Every year has its ups and downs, but seldom have I felt close to breaking. I felt betrayed by my body. Unable to get through my day without sheer exhaustion from struggling to function.
And yet…I’ve pulled through the darkness. I’ve climbed over that terrifying mountain and made it to the other side, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. While I’ve beaten the hardest part of this past year, the road ahead won’t be easy as I heal, strengthen, and grow as a person both mentally and physically. Thankfully, I won’t be alone on my journey. My family, friends, and partner have all been behind me, supporting and cheering me on each step of the way in my recovery. While I’ve never doubted their support, I admit to doubting myself at times. I’m only human.
With the dawn of a new year and a new decade, I hope to find renewed strength and love for myself. 2019 knocked me down but 2020 is already showing promise if I continue to move forward. As always, I’m not going to give in. Not going to fall. I’m still breathing. ♥

When we think of the future, our minds often picture flying cars, holograms, hover boards, and traveling to other planets. Some of our more creative thoughts bring to mind light sabers, aliens, healing chambers, and robots with AI so believable they could be mistaken for a human. Science fiction literature, video games, TV shows, and film bring these visions to life in ways that are awe inspiring. If you’re a lover of the genre, the Sci-fi Con is for you and is only open for a couple more days. I am sharing a few pieces that =EC Designs= and Mishmash Fusion have at the RFL event.
Mishmash Fusion has new dresses for Sci-fi Con that will have you ready to go clubbing or feeling like a galactic princess. The dress I’m wearing is called Nyota and it is the Purple Pulsar color. Without advanced lighting on, it is a nice black dress. Turn on advanced lighting and you get a sexy electrifying number that will hypnotize any onlookers. Sizes included for this dress fit Altamura Sofia, eBody Classic and Curvy, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. This specific color is a 100% donation dress which means all sales go to RFL. If you like hunting, the gown my friend is wearing is one of the hunt items Mishmash Fusion is offering. Don’t worry, a gift for guys is included as well! The Elation Gown in Infected is a fun color changing gown that slowly shifts and moves at the same time. Sizes for this futuristic style come fitted for eBody, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. A Standard mesh size is also included. Find this beauty and steal the show at your next party.
If you are looking for some furniture for your space station, =EC Designs= has just what you need. The Group Seating set in Hex is perfect for the tech fans with its neon lighting around the edges. You’ll find a sectional couch that seats three people and the stool will seat one person. Other seating included are loveseats with and without cushions and a corner chair. Each seat comes equipped with animations for both female and male avatars no matter where you sit. Loveseats and the Sectional sofa have PG couples animations. With all of these options, you can find the perfect arrangement of seating for any home. Also from =EC Designs= is their Orbits Gacha which feature mini planets in different blinking colors that orbit around you! Be the center of your own solar system by adding these little funky planets to your outfit; as a bonus they reflect light off clothes with materials like the Nyota dress really well.
The Sci-fi Con ends May 26th and some of these items are event exclusives, so hurry and check them out before they’re gone! Links to the event are below. 🙂

Fantasy Faire recently opened and as always, each sim showcases such spectacular and jaw-dropping creativity by both the sim builders and merchants who participate in this special Relay for Life charity event. Each themed sim is sponsored and lovingly designed by different SecondLife creators with care and attention to detail. If you have never been to Fantasy Faire before, you are missing out on artistry and talent. Today I will be sharing a couple items from =EC Designs= and Mishmash Fusion that are being sold with 100% of sales being donated to Relay for Life in this event.
Mishmash Fusion has created several outfits in many colors that are all set as 100% donation items at Fantasy Faire. A few of these colors are exclusive to the event. Today I am wearing Rena’s Outfit in Fantasy, which is the event exclusive color. Rena’s Outfit is a smexy leafy look for all of the faery looking for something light and airy. Each one comes with vine wraps for arms and legs, a skirt, and two different top options. Sizes included for this outfit are for Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Hourglass and Physique, Tonic Curvy and Fine, eBody and eBody Curvy, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. Grab this pretty and feel magical while you get up to faery hijinks!
From =EC Designs= I have the Cuddle Pod. A delightfully whimsical pear-ish shaped pod hangs from some trees but can be unlinked and hung wherever you like. Put it in your garden and create a snuggly space that is magical and cozy for all walks of life. There are many pose options for singles, both female and male, and several pages of couples poses. Whether you enjoy a fantasy theme or more traditional approach to your landscaping, this piece will add a touch of magic and charm to your garden or home.
You will find both of these items up for sale at 50% off as donation items at Fantasy Faire in the same booth on the Tensors’ Flying Market sim built and sponsored by Rivendale. After the event ends on May 5th, they will be in the mainstore for full price. Get them now and see what else these creators have in store for you to help support RFL!

Hello again! I know it’s been a little longer than I expected since my last post but real life decided to bless me with a spring cold. I am doing better now and have some cute finds from the Cart Sale for you to see. A quick note; the Cart Sale now allows merchants to sell six items for 10 lindens, six items for 25 lindens, and one item for 50 lindens. Now on to the goodies!
One of the first goodies I’ve found at the Cart Sale was a very cute dress from Mishmash Fusion. The Someday Minidress comes in a selection of six colors, each for 25 lindens. Sizes included fit Slink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza Isis, Freya, and Venus, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. This cute dress has a lovely lace skirt overlay and small suspenders straps that add just a touch of quirk. If you look closely, I am wearing a tattoo with ravens by Innerjoy Love Tattoo. There are many beautiful and colorful tattoos for sale but I love ravens of the Worthy Life tattoo in black ink which comes in Maitreya and omega appliers and includes standard tattoo layers.
“Hey, wake up sleepyhead.” She nudges the snoring figure stretched out across a well padded lounge chair. A mumble from the dark haired man responds with a slight adjustment of his head resting on his arms as she continues to nudge his shoulders. Her hands begin softly rubbing over his shoulders, her quiet humming accompanied by distant bird calls.
After a few moments, his eyes flicker open as he stirs, waking up but pretending to slumber still as he listens to her hum a soft song. It was a rare treat to catch her humming, and he cherished every second. Suddenly, a finger jabbed into his back, making him jump up and grunt in surprise. “Ugggh… why you gotta wake me up like that, babe?” Shifting his body around, he sat up on the lounger, swiftly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against his chest, making her squeal and laugh as he playfully jabbed her back with his finger.
“You were already awake! I could tell when you stopped snoring.” She grinned up at him. As his arms move to hold her close, she reaches up to pull his head down for a soft kiss. His arms tighten around her for a moment, a smile on his lips as she pulls away, hand still holding his head.
Tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, he chuckles, “Nothing gets past you, does it?”
The Cart Sale is still going strong, with less than a week left to grab the awesome deals with most items at 10L. I shared a few things in my previous post and I’m back to share a couple more things you can find there right now.
Battle fairy currently has a wonderful selection of summery dresses and sandal heels also set for sale at the Cart Sale. I’m wearing it on my Maitreya Lara mesh body with no clipping that I could see. For me it’s a perfect casual beachy look or a little dressed up for a date night. It comes in mesh models fitted for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Belleza Isis, Freya, and Venus. Grab all five dresses before it’s too late.
My nails were done by Nail It Good! with their “it’s May” polish. This polish set comes in six fun patterns on one Hud which includes appliers for Slink, Omega, Maitreya, and Belleza nails for both hands and feet. Add some sparkle to your look before heading out this summer with this set.
The finishing touch for my beachy look today was a necklace made by Captivating! There are six cute beaded necklaces for sale that will have you dreaming of the tropics and getting sand in your toes. Any of these necklaces would look nice with a strapless dress or swimwear.
From =EC Designs=, I have a cute pergola setup that includes a lounger that is animated for singles and couples. Sit with your friend and hang out, or cuddle up with your partner to relax in the sun. There are even massages if you feel like pampering your partner a bit. The set is easy to just set out and poses are adjustable. Whether you are vacationing at your beach house or need a relaxing cuddle spot in your yard, this set is too cute to pass up.
That is all for now but I will have one more post up before the event ends. Don’t delay though, go get these amazing deals before the event is over!

Dress:Â .::battle fairy::. – sandra dee dress turquoise ~ by Grace Selene @ Cart Sale May 2018
Lately life has taken me on some twists and turns, some good and some quite painful. Opportunities presented themselves. I took the plunge. Did I land on my feet? Yes. And no.
I could spin a tale about finding love…then losing it. I could write about the heartache and sadness, the pain and emptiness. But you’ve felt it, feel it, know the taste of it in your mouth and the hollowness in your chest where a strange ache never truly dies.
Gradually the pain fades when you’re not paying attention; you hardly notice because you’re so busy trying to distract yourself from the pain. How long has it been since you could breathe freely? When did your smile stop feeling forced? Brief moments of reprieve are then cut short when you remember the pain; it all comes flooding back again. Did it hurt this bad the first time? Is it maybe a little less? How do you know when you’ve healed?
I’ve been reflecting on some of the people that have come into my life recently, how I’ve spent my time with them, my words, my actions and what they’ve said and done. Recent pain has forced me to take a step back to look at what paths lay before me. Should I take the path over here that most would object to? Or do I take the route more often traveled? Do I dare tread on the one my heart is drawn to? Mistakes and lessons lie behind me but I stand at a crossroads again, not ready to make a choice just yet. Not ready to take another step until my feet are planted more firmly on the ground.
For now I work on grounding myself again, building the foundation of my soul until it can withstand any storm. One day I will be myself again. In time I’ll forget the sting. Someday I’ll smile, blow a kiss, and be on my way, flowing like water onto the next path of my journey.
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Life tends to take hold just as I get my groove back. Today I am sharing a piece from February that Dictatorshop released that I was in love with from first glance. I honestly think every woman ought to have a tantra chair in her home. The curving slope is so sensual and elegant and to me it just seems perfect for lounging. Many of the single sits are perfect for staging a surprise for your significant other too. Plenty of cuddles are included for relaxing snuggles. With plenty of adult options, you’ll not be wanting for anything except to relax after a pleasant evening of funtimes.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Other things to note about the Tantra Chair are that you can change the textures via the Dictatorshop logo on the back. You are also able to control access to the menu via the logo as well. Go check out the demo at the inworld store and see why you need to add this piece to your collection. 🙂
The outfit I am wearing is from a gacha from Mishmash Fusion that was created for the Twisted Hunt event in March. I have not checked to see if it is still available to play in the shop but you may be able to find someone in the Twisted Hunt chat who might trade items with you.
Finally, I will be posting again soon, I promise. The Cart Sale begins tonight at midnight and runs through May 16th. Keep your eyes peeled for more coming soon!
