The Familiar

1 Familiar_032 merged 2

By day, she is the lady of the manor – calm, serene, dignified. But by night, she consorts with the ravens, wandering the edges of the lake, the mist her companion during her nocturnal stroll. She pauses to rest, the darkness crowding around her as her lips curl up into a tiny smile.

This is her time, when she is who she is; not who she is perceived to be.

I’m not what you call the biggest fan of Halloween. Honestly, I can take it or leave it and I hadn’t planned on doing a photo for the holiday at all. This is probably the closest I will get. It was inspired by the “Familiar” pose prop from oOo Studio available at this month’s round of Pose Me Amazing. With the poses and ravens included, all that was required was a spooky location.

And a story. Tell me yours…

Edit: I almost forgot to give a big thank you to my sis, Rwah, for helping me with this photo. I will soak up every word you say (even if I’m hopeless at implementing them!) ❤

Autumn Burst

1 Autumn Burst

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
― L.M. Montgomery, “Anne of Green Gables”

A typical October day…you head out, expecting cool temperatures and a chance of rain, only to be caught in a burst of autumn sunshine. Layers and a stylish hat are fashion musts during this season.

Between JfL Real Hats and (Milk Motion), I’m covered. The hat is one of Johnfrancis’ two latest releases (there is a plain version, along with the patterned chapeau I’m wearing) and the sweater and skirt can be found at this month’s round of Collabor88. Only two days into this monthly event and I’ve managed to get in twice; once, to shop and the other when I accidentally hit TP instead of copying the SLurl from the map. Never fear – I left quickly to make room for those waiting to get in!

Get dressed, get out, and enjoy this world of October.

Shopping Restraint

1 Shopping Restraint1

I ain’t got any. Just sayin’.

But if you’re setting up a store in Second Life, be sure you don’t miss this round of The Challenge. The theme is “Shopping” and there are tons of goodies for your shop, like these security gates by 22769 ~ [bauwerk] (cuffs not included). I even brought along my shopping list, compliments of Kuro, but I can’t get in!

The cute little shop is by [Black Tulip] and perfect for a first-time business owner. In fact, it’s so perfect it’s called “My First Store.”

But don’t listen to me; go hit the stores and see for yourself. Just be warned; if someone offers to show you some special bracelets, grab your credit card and RUNNNNNNNN!
