1 Arwen sm

I’ll just feel the soft, supple suede against my skin instead. Here. Feel. Notice how your fingertips just skim across the smooth fabric of the bodysuit. And oh, those all-the-way-to-heaven boots! Absolutely purr-worthy.

Both items, plus the matching armband and bracelet are available from Salt & Pepper at this month’s round of We < 3 Roleplay through Dec. 31, 2015. Choose your favourite colour or splash out on the discounted fatpack.

I promise I won’t look.

Where’s Dave?

1 Where's Dave

This is Dave’s bed. Those are Dave’s shelves. That’s Dave’s rug. In fact, this is Dave’s room so all of this must be Dave’s stuff. But I have to ask…

Where the hell is Dave???

I guess if I’m stuck waiting for Dave I couldn’t do it in a better place. The bed by Kuro is soft and comfy (despite being built on a platform of cement blocks) and there are a lot of really interesting things to keep my attention. The vast majority comes from 6º Republic. I didn’t think the Industrial theme was my kind of thing, but then I stopped by. Boy, was I wrong! I loved so much that I had to walk around and make a list of all that I wanted and then rank the items so I didn’t go over my budget. Trust me, there is lots more that I couldn’t get, and still more in my inventory that didn’t make it into this photo!

I have to say that Dave has excellent taste, but is just a bit messy. Clothes and shoes on the floor, books scattered about, even candles lit and a cigarette left smouldering in the ashtray. Surely he won’t be gone long?

I also had the time to ponder one burning question:

WHO the hell is Dave?

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.
