Shake It Off

I went on a little shopping spree the other day.  Mainly because I wanted the new pants from Plastik.  While I was minding my own business, these sexy ripped looking shirts caught my eye.  I was debating which one I should purchase but it all was just so simple when I caught the name of one....EMA.  

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

And, I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

Cause I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

State of Grace

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannon ball

Now all we know is don't let go...

So you were never a saint

And I’ve loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts...

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

This is a state of grace.

She Wolf

A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me,

Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy.

Moon's awake now, with eyes wide open

My body is craving, so feed the hungry

Plastik's Fifty Linden Friday outfit hardly disappoints.  Like usual, it isn't just one thing, it is a a couple things.  In the pics below, my entire outfit is apart of the FLF outfit.  The corset, the skirt, the boots, necklace and the armwarmers.  They are all apart of the box that also comes with a pair of pants and another shirt.  The best part...it's only 50Ls.  How can you pass up a deal like this?

Also out for FLF is the September's Lover skin.  It's a preview I believe.  It comes with 4 different options including a tango option.  There are also 8 different eyebrow shapers as well as different shadows and makeups.

Summertime

I think about you in the summertime, 
And all the good times we had, baby, 
Been a few years and I can't deny, 
The thought of you still makes me crazy, 
I think about you in the summertime.

TOSL ended a few days ago but I'm pretty sure that you can still get the dress at the Alexohol store, maybe just not at the TOSL price.  The store is in the process of being set back up, they moved...the info is all here in this blog blog .  Alex is starting releasing more mesh stuff, which I've blogged before.  It's really cute stuff for adorable prices.  Check the store out here .

Bringin' out the free in me

You keep bringin' out the free in me
What you do to my heart just makes me melt
And I, I don't think I can resist
But I've never been one to kiss and tell
A love this true can't be subdued

The Pose Fair is still going on til the end of April.  Make sure to take some time and just walk through it.  The exclusives are well worth it and by now there shouldn't be nearly the lag that happens when something first opens.  These poses are all from Bounce This Poses, which is a fairly newer store in SL.  I also had a couple pose that I wanted to try but kept forgetting to snap the picture...I'm sure it will be used soon.

Love Kills Slowly

I have been digging around in my inventory lately...you know to see what I could find.  After all, there seems to be a lot of hidden treasures in there that I hardly knew about.  I came across a skin from Plastik that I really love and pink eyes....only in SL can I have pink eyes.  Then to top off the fun, I got the new releases from T-Junction.  All three female release are worth checkin out.

Newness that makes me squeal

I'll admit it, yep I squealed at the offline when I got this group gift.  I knew it wasn't going to disappoint before I even saw the notecard or the item on me.  Of course I was right.  And not only was there one color but five.

Maybe a piece of me was excited that Ali had released some yummy sexy goodness and a girl could hope more is coming (hint, hint Ali....we want more).  If you haven't ever been or if for some crazy reason you haven't smacked the subscriber at Insatiable Fashions, get over there.  The gift will be in the history for a bit.  Of course while you're there, make sure to look around...it's good stuff.

A Rainbow Inside

When you have a rainbow deep down in your heart
Your smile will shine bright
You know you're a part of that colorful, magical, feeling you'll find
When you have a rainbow inside.

So don't laugh but when I saw the Perfect Wardrobe theme, I swear I squealed a little.  Rainbows.  Rainbows instantly took me back to my childhood and to what else but Rainbow Brite.  Then it happened...that smile came over my face.  As a little girl, I loved Rainbow Brite and I remember on Rainbow Brite book on tape(that made me feel old to say that) had this song....Make Room for a Rainbow Inside.  That song is a song that still today I have on my ipod, it's a song that I listen to because it's cute but it always makes me smile when life becomes too burden with adult things.  It's my secret, well until now.

Of course if I was going to be all cute in a rainbow shirt and socks with pig tails....I had to be jumping on my bed.

Perfect Gift

So sometimes I really struggle with what to say in my blogs, what are those perfect words that are the right blend of information and then sass. I don't know how often I really succeed and then how many times that I just honestly fail. I'm probably the worst critic of myself....but aren't we always our worst critics. I was searching, longing for something and then tonight happened.

The perfect gift, oddly enough what the tattoo Ema is wearing, just kept staring back at me all night while I thought and it never struck me until right now.

It's almost Christmas and we are all in search of that "Perfect Gift" for the ones we love. We spend hours thinking, hours shopping, hours in frustation and disappointment when we can't come up with anything. I am the first to admit that I do this too. Maybe we just over think it.

Tonight, though, reminded me of what exactly the perfect gift can be....the sharing of love, the conversation between two people, and comfort of knowing you aren't alone in this big world. I spent the evening on my land, snuggled up with the one I love and although our conversation, like always, was all over the place, it was exactly the perfect gift. It melts me, it calms me, it brings me happiness that I always thought wasn't for me. It does for me what no material gift.... shiny, electronic or sparkly could do. I'm glad that it does and I'm glad that my perfect gift this Christmas season is the love I share with him, the love of my friends and the joy of just being me.

What's your perfect gift?

Breakin Out

She breathes a sigh...

Watching as her life goes by,

Caught in the trap of a workingday world,

Tired of just being somebody's girl.

She's feelin' her frustration buildin' up inside,

But tonight...

She's gonna give it up,

Break the chains and let it out.

Tonight...

She'll say "I've had enough,

I'm never going back."
