Bad Guy

 

Heroes aren’t supposed to do bad things. That’s what villains are for. So either the good supersedes the bad, or the bad makes it impossible to remember the good. We don’t like it when such duality exists in one person. We don’t want to know our heroes are human. LZ Granderson

So I am a HUGE marvel fan. There’s nothing better in the summer than seeing movies about heroes and villains. And I have yet to see Endgame, but I am so  going to see it. I love the ideas of good guys/gals and bad guys/gals. But I have to say…. I love when the hero is the person that you would least expect.. or even when the villain is the person you least expect. There’s something great about that dynamic. I’ve always wanted to play the bad guy in a photo. And this picture definitely gave me that opportunity. To say that I was excited to do this picture is definitely an understatement. This was the day.. I ruined Alisha’s dress.

Okay, I am going to jump right into all the wonderful companies that helped me play the bad guy for at least an hour, during this photo shoot. Lets start off with my ever so gorgeous sweater. It’s sexy and surprising, also really fun to wear. It’s by eliavah and available in her mainstore. I admit that it was an earlier release in an event, but I was unable to get to blogging, due to real life responsibilities. Anyway, moving right along here, now these sexy hawt shorts are by Mossu and you can find this super comfy summer necessity at Collabor88. My gorgeous hair is by Doux and you can pick up this wig at Equal 10. Finally my mask is by the great vinyl, and you can pick it up in their mainstore. Now on to , the beautiful Ali, her dress and boots are from collabor88. the dress is from Emery and her sexy boots are from Empire. The glam hair is from again the wonderful company Doux and you can find it at this month’s Access. Also her jewelry and blindfold also come from collabor88. The blindfold is from LaGyo and her sexy naughty jewelry is from Bueno.

Now, I would like to talk about this really great scene. The backdrop comes from Boys to the bone and is located in the top floor of their mainstore. I was really surprised that this really funky backdrop was by boys to the bone, but I really like it and can see myself using it as part of my decor on my land–not just as a backdrop. Okay, okay, I HAVE to talk about the really fun van. DRD created this van awhile ago and I’ve been dying to make it part of one of my blog posts. It’s called.. wait for it.. the Joint Delivery van. The van even comes with a stoned animation. I have to say this may be one of my favorite funky things in my inventory. I am a little biased though. About a year ago, I was put on a medical cannabis program, due to my increasing pain levels. I was against it for a very long time, until I myself needed this drug to function on some levels. It has given me quality of life and the ability to go out and enjoy life–it’s more than just smoking it. It has topicals and CBN infused bandages for sleep. It helps a lot of people and does a lot of good. I am now a medical cannabis advocate in my real life, because of my own experience. Okay now onto my shopping cart, it’s by anxiety and found at their mainstore.. again it comes with some great poses. It’s nice for pictures but can also be used for decor. Finally, the maitress in the background is by anc and this too can be found at their mainstore.

Whew, thank you for sticking with me through all of thattttt. I know that was a lot of items to go through, but it takes a lot of creators to make wonderful products for photos. Without them, I would never be able to take such fun pictures, so I am always thankful for their time and effort.

I hope something in real life inspires your second life. Get out there and go shopping.. Remember bring a friend. For further info please check down below for credits.

Before I go, I would like to make a quick apology to Eliavah for this tardy post. Her beautiful garment was originally featured at a really great event Equal 10. It has moved to her mainstore now though. Again I am sorry to get this out so late. Real life did prevent me from posting this earlier. So if you missed the event too, please go check this great sweater out at her mainstore. It really is a fun hoodie.

Okay.. last note, I promise. Yesterday was the beginning of second life pride. It’s running from the 14 th to the 23rd. They’re also raising for the rainbow railroad. Please be kind and donate to this worthy cause. ♥.. oh and shake ya booty 🙂 second life pride

Okay get out there and shop.. and remember…Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet xoxo

Avi’s ..both naked as can be, but parts are hidden.

So I really wanted to write this post up earlier, but real life decided to steal me away. Sometimes real life has a way of soaking up your time. I’ve been had real life appointments and responsibilities. But I’m here now, so that’s the important thing. This blog will be a little short, since I am pressed for time.

In the wee hours of the morning, I was going talking about Valentine’s Day and my love for it. One of my favorite and few childhood memories came on this lovely day. When I was a kid, a teacher had a Valentine’s Day party. We put bags on the back of our chairs, people brought in food, and drinks. It was the very first time that anyone said that they had loved me–who wasn’t family. They had blond hair and wore a hearing aid. I was a kid. I remember  learning about it and what it meant to be going deaf. Since my Aunt was losing her hearing, I always wanted to know more. It was a card, a candy heart, and a simple I love you from a childhood classmate. To me…that’s Valentine’s Day and it has been ever since–not the flowers, expensive chocolates, or jewelry that the media would have you believe. It’s just love. And I have celebrated every type of love on that day–family, friends, and pets. I never limit it to a special someone. Love should always be celebrated.

That loving feeling inspired a pop up Pose Fair event. It ends soon though, you’ll have to run to that LM, if you want to get that last minute pose of love for that special someone. These two poses are by Cuca Designs. I have to say they are some really beautiful poses. I have a lot of love for them. Some of my favorite poses are couple poses. I love the ones that show those tender moments.  After the pose fair ends, both of these poses will be available in her mainstore. And I will share that link down below. In my photo with the blond, my lingerie is from Collabor88 by E.D. This month’s round is absolutely amazing with hearts, pink, and red. It really gets the grid in the mood to spread that love around. The bathroom is from Florix and available at equal10.

Before I close this blog, I want to touch on a subject that’s been bugging me. I had someone tell me that not every resident would get my blog, and I’ve let that one comment really bug me. While this is true, not every person will get my long ramblings about life, there will be some people who do. Since, there are people that I know who started to follow me because of my blog. I had that brief moment where I wanted to just scrap everything and hide. But I had to stay true to myself. Life lessons that apply in all worlds, inspirational quotes, and anecdotes about my life. It’s all relevant in my choices for second life. Never underestimate people. It’s something that I’ve learned from the virtual world. Also a very long time ago, I had a mentor tell me that when you write anything, you have to connect to the audience. In my experience, the best way I know how to connect with people is the human experience. It took some friends convincing me to keep going and keep doing what I love to do–which is to take pictures with my heart and match those pictures with words.

What we say can effect people. And even I forget how my words matter–negatively and positively. Sometimes we have to see past the opinions of others and do the things that make us happy–especially in second life. And I tend to be happy creating these blogs. I’ve had a pretty rough go at it, these past few months. One of the things that has made me happy, is the ability to log on and be creative. I get to think about things that make me happy–movies, music, and pictures. It’s those positive things that help me through difficult times. So if I let someone get to me, I let them ruin this, which is sad since it helps me in my real life. I’m writing this because I want to send the message that no matter what others think, never stop doing the activities that bring you joy. I leave you with this as my closing thought.

Be kind to one another,

Cheers,

Violet.

Sleep Over

 

Capt. Crewe:
“You can be anything you want to be, my love, as long as you believe.”

I have always loved the movie A Little Princess.. the version made in the nineties. Some of the most beautiful scenes are in that movie. I loved the story about a girl having a wild imagination. It’s such a lovely thing to live in a world of imagination and magic. There’s just something about that story that I love. For me, this quote means a lot to me. It gives a certain kind of hope. And I like books and movies that promote hope. If we lose hope, we lose the possibility of making those dreams and beliefs true. Hope drives us to go after goals. It inspires us to try. When we try…is when we truly live. So never give up hope.

As I saw ads for the epiphany, I knew right away what I wanted to do. I’m really excited to do this photo. It’s kind of my take on a sleep over with all things pretty. I probably would set this scene up in my house, if I had the money for all those flowers. Hey flowers are expensive!! But thankfully, it’s much easier to make this in second life.

I really want to thank everyone for making such cute things. I have to thank Eliavah for making this truly fantastic outfit. This is hawt and I love it. I like the ruffles at the top of the shirt, the color, and the fit. It made me feel extremely girly. Eliavah is selling this outfit at the epiphany. So you too can take a chance on her gacha. Kalopsia is selling the Cleo set–the pink lamp and mirror at collabor88. Lamb made this great hair which is also available at collabor88. Disorderly created cozy piles which is available at collabor88 as well. You can see it in front of my tent.. the cookies and magazines. It is all linked together. I absolutely adore it. The laundry basket is from tarte and can be found at a new event called soiree. Soiree is a new event and an extension of Collabor88. I bought so many things at the epiphany. I could go on and on about all of these really great events… but my credits list says it all. Please stop by Collabor88, FaMESHED, Soiree, and the epiphany. There are some truly great events on the grid. Don’t miss out.. tp and bring a friend with you.

I’m ending my post a little early. I have so many credits from this wonderful photo and I want it to be the center of this post. I hope my follows have fun shopping this month at some wonderful events.

As always, Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

violet xoxo
