1 Love Letters

More than kisses, [love] letters mingle souls.
~John Donne

It is a lost art – the writing of a love letter. Taking pen to paper and pouring out your soul to your beloved. The trepidation, the shakiness of hand as you put into words the song of your heart. It is written; it is forever documented, to be cherished, to be read and re-read, pressed to a heart, words now immortal.

A text message just isn’t the same.

1 Love Letters2

Joy Fellini has taken a collection of love letters and created a masterpiece. While haute couture isn’t usually my thing, this dress captured my imagination and left me breathless. In stunning detail, Joy’s creation swept me up into the exhilaration of finding a love letter left on my pillow, the fluttering of my heart as I hear the paper rustling, my fingers trembling as I smooth the creases of the letter his hands touched.

Fellini Couture is open in a new location; the store is still being filled with her beautiful and inspired fashions, but it is worth a trip, if only to gasp in awe at her inspirations and the beautiful setting for her store.

Go and visit. Perhaps not better than kisses, but it will touch your soul.

Butterflies In The Aftermath

1 Butterflies in the Aftermath2

When you’re having a rough week, it can feel like walking up to a once-glorious castle, only to discover that the former fortress has now been reduced to ruins, weeds growing through the rubble of the courtyard, the leaves on the trees dull and brown. You can sense the change in the air as the clouds gather, hear the eerie sound as the wind whistles through the darkened windows. It is with a sense of trepidation that you wait, expecting the worst, afraid of what will come next.

It is at those times that you have to stop, take stock of your life and find something wonderful. Something that brightens your day. That one little thing that brings back your smile and if even for a moment, lifts the weight from your shoulders, allowing you to see daylight again.

Like finding butterflies in the aftermath, you can then move forward, ready to deal with whatever comes next.

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?
