Jane’s Bath

1 Jane's Bath

Jane’s a lucky girl. She has a lovely bath in a garden, replete with pretty, shiny things. She has the option of allowing herself to air dry after a long, relaxing soak. She has flowers and grass rustling in the breeze, a slow-dripping shower from the watering cans, and sparkling lights to mimic fireflies in the daytime.

She could probably spring for some snazzier towels, but with that air-drying option, she’s still in good shape.

Almost everything in this photo comes from Shiny Shabby. And even the shabby bits are glorious. This round has a huge wow-factor, and I have the diminished bank account to prove it.

I think I’m going to sneak into Jane’s bath to soak away the soreness I developed while flitting around this amazing event.

Adrift On The Tide Of Dreams

1 Floating on the Tide2

And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams–
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

~EDGAR ALLAN POE, To One in Paradise

There has probably been written more about dreams than I have had. I tend not to remember mine in the morning, so I try to concentrate more on day dreams. Imagining myself in places that I have never been and likely never will see, psychedelic whirlwinds of colour, sound and imagery that leave me breathless with my heart pounding. It is those moments when my imagination expands my universe to a place where I can recline on a downy-soft bed, afloat on a gentle tide. Where the sounds of the waves seduce me with their eternal dances.

At work I am known for “going into the zone,” where a colleague must call my name several times before I respond. Usually I am just focused on my work, tuning out the conversation and noise around me. But sometimes, if there is a smile on my face, you can be sure I am adrift on the tide of dreams.

Coveted

1 Coveted

I have often admired women in Second Life who wear tattoos. My sister, Rwah, is an Ink Queen, rarely going without. I have sported small tattoos from time to time, but while I have looked at multiple body tats, I always held back, not finding a design that truly said “Peep” to me.

I finally found it.

I admit I hadn’t heard of Space Mermaid before, but the moment I laid eyes on this ink, I had to have it. It is feminine yet daring – a true statement piece.

If you covet this body art, make sure you get it while No. 21 runs – it is exclusive and won’t be sold when the event ends.

Luna Jubilee of !bang has also released a lovely single female pose pack for Shiny Shabby. As always, her poses are natural and beautifully created, so no funky bits were edited in this photo 😉

Is it wrong that I never want to get dressed again?
