Woman like me

 

“The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.” – Albert Einstein

 

So I’m going to make this blog a little short, since it is really early or late–depending on your perception of things. I will say this picture has me craving pizza like crazy. Thank you baguette for making the perfect virtual pizza. I think there may be a pizza in my future that is for sure.

So, I find myself a bit lonely lately, but that’s only because my schedule is very wacky at the moment. I am alone quite a bit, but I know that it will change soon–thankfully. So feeling that loneliness led me to the Einstein quote. It’s good to remind yourself that being alone is a good thing. Also I find that second life can be feast or famine sometimes. There are times where there is a ton of people to talk to and then.. sometimes the world seems a bit quiet. Feeling that I came across the quote and song (both can be found on flickr).

Moving right along to all those wonderful creations in the above picture. Most of the items in the above pick are from Collabor88 and the epiphany–both close soon. The new round of Collabor88 starts on the 8th and the epiphany closes soon. I will have to get back to you on closing dates, after I wake up :). So without further ado, please look down below for credits.

Before I end with my credits, I know there has been so much tragedy in the US. I’m thinking of the families and the people who were senselessly killed by a shooter with no regard to life. This life is so precious and it’s sad that individuals feel as though they need to selfishly take it away. There is not enough love in the world. There’s not enough respect for life. Despite the tragedies, I will always have faith that things will change.. and one day there will be no mass shootings. Look for further posts in the future for charities to help the survivors. Keep them in your in hearts, thoughts, and prayers. ♥

Please  be kind to one another.

Cheers,

Violet xoxo ♥

Space Bar

 

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. Malcolm X

Hey everyone, so the grid has some really really really great shopping. It’s so incredibly good, that I’m broke until Thursday. Say whaatttt? You will have to stick with me for the next few days, as I go into my blogging frenzy. But first let’s begin with this picture…

Collabor88 has a spacey theme.. from UFO’s to all things out of this world. It’s a really fun concept, and this is the time to pick up some really fun and funky items. My flying spaceship is from Reign. It’s really meant to be attached to you, so that you’re flying around in a UFO rather than walking. It’s pretty great. I adore it. If you do rez this ship, I do have to warn you.. it is a lot of prims. I would so suggest flying around in it. Then, there’s this panda.. this cute adorable panda. It’s by mishmish. There’s a decor option or a companion. The lamps and tiny flying UFO are from Schendenfreude. It has a hud to change the textures. It’s a wonderful item, if you like a mod style to your decor. I like it because the lamps are extremely unique. I really haven’t seen anything quite like it in my second life shopping travels. The bar sign and table are from second spaces. I used this sign as an inspiration for this photo. I also included this funky chair that pairs great with the lamps. Soy made this ultra funky hip chair. And then my backdrop is from Foxcity. The backdrop has some really bright and beautiful lighting. I always have this special place in my heart for Foxcity. I tend to use their windlighs quite a bit, so I’m a little partial to this brand.

Finally, we absolutely must talk about my out of this world outfit. My bodysuit and cuffs are by the none other Eliavah. She created this futuristic bodysuit. Again, this item is really unique with the glow of the cuffs, to the glowing parts of the bodysuit. The piping can be changed, that lines this outfit. The belt has color and medal options too. There’s so many options for textures, and the fatpack has so many options for piping, bodysuit, and glow–along with the belt and metal. The texture of the bodysuit has a beautiful sheen to it. It’s a really fun piece to have in your inventory for those out of this world parties. And then this hair.. this really cute hair is by monso. My hair has a truly romantic feel. It can be paired with so many different types of outfits from romantic to fashion forward. This wig is definitely a great hairstyle for those hot summer months. Then, finally, there’s this really dainty cute necklace, which is by La Baguette. Before I forget, my pose is by Fashiowl. I pulled this whole picture together with this completely fabulous pose, which is available on the marketplace.

I’ve so enjoyed making this picture. I know there are some incredibly things at collabor88 this round..special and different than your every day items. I hope you too find something special at this months round. Bring family or a friend with you and have a blast.

Before I leave you to the credits, I want to talk about my quote. I’ve been on a kick this past few posts about peace. As some may know, June is pride. I think peace, love, and acceptance are just so important. I think Malcom X said it best with this quote. You really can’t be at peace without freedom. Pride is all about freedom… the freedom to be who you are, because you can’t truly be at peace without being able to be who you are. That’s what this month is all about the freedom of being who you are. I hope everyone is having a happy pride. My Pride picture is yet to come, so stay tuned my loyal followers. I will be back.

Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

The Moon

(for a bigger image, click the image to view the flickr page)

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes by William Shakespeare
She grew into her horns, never denying her inner most demons. Now shown to the world, her darkest parts. Her eyes glazed over, all color stripped away. Her eyes almost translucent. Being fearful of all her darkness consuming her, changing her, warping her outer exterior, She felt the air leave her lungs. The room becoming smaller. Her eyes widen watching the lights flowing out of her hands. A relief shown on her face, she knew light was part of her and she was more than just darkness. The witch had not won her being. She was still the same person despite all of her light shown to the world–both light and dark. Determined, she would not the let the darkness, evil, and inner demons win, even on all hollows eve.

“I am made of both light and darkness. I am more than the darkness that resides inside my soul.” And on she fights every day with her curse.

So as some may have noticed, I sometimes include a little story with my pictures. I’ve done that here. I felt so inspired by this picture, like a story was building along with my set. So I included one.

I’m not going to make this blog, since I’m still recovering a bit from surgery. But I want to say that Hair Fair is still going on strong. It ends this Sunday though, so you’ll have to hurry to get those last wigs. My hair is by Eliavah and available at hair fair. I really do like this hair. For my lelutka head, I had to wear the hour glass version and tweak my shape, but I did get it to fit. I’m really glad too, because this hair is super hawt. I’ll be wearing it again, that’s for sure. And I highly recommend this round. Salem is also insane. I bought so so so much stuff from this latest round. The voodoo doll, candelabra, chalk board, and cauldron is also available at this round of Salem. For more details, please check out my credits down below.

In the spirit of Tarot Cards Major Arcana, I am naming this post the moon. This card in the upright position can represent fear. What’s scarier than the things that go bump in the night and Halloween is all about the night of scares. So I thought this was the most appropriate name.

Okay just one quick note, my blog posts may be a bit short due my health, but I’m still around, just a bit brief.

Anyway, as always, Be Kind To One Another,

cheers, Violet XOXO
