Blank Canvas

1 Deserted

When thinking of a desert, usually I imagine a desolate, lonely place, devoid of life and colour. But that is far from the truth. The shadows and occasional hummock of grass give it a palette that is stark, but beautiful. The sky, redolent of reds and yellows are the backdrop to the austere artwork.

It is a blank canvas, just waiting for the artist’s inspiration.

Who Needs Mistletoe?

1 Who Needs Mistletoe

I have never been a person who puts up their Christmas tree in RL before the beginning of December. In fact, I won’t be putting one up at all this year. It’s too much of a temptation for my cat and since it’s just the two of us, why test fate? Besides, even after 14 Christmases in Australia, I can’t get my head around Christmas in the summer. It would be my luck to trim my tree and get hit by a bushfire alert and have to take it down.

Instead, I can have a cozy little place in Second Life with a roaring fire, a big, brightly lit tree and even snow falling softly outside. I can even change it on a whim, depending on who is stopping by to visit. Today I brought along Chance to show off this very romantic pose by !bang for this month’s round of TMD. He didn’t bring the mistletoe, but honestly, who really needs it? 😉

Just a reminder that the Avi Choice Awards voting ends on Monday, December 8 at 3pm SLT. If you haven’t already and are so inclined, I would love your vote for Favorite Fashion Blogger. It’s wayyyyyy down toward the bottom of the voting page, so I hope if you pop over you don’t give up before you get there 🙂
