Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun. Brian Wilson

It feels like ..I have been away forever. I’ve spent a bit of time in real life, getting things a little more organized. As summer quickly approaches, I find myself planning fun activities. After the last few weeks, I need a bit of fun. That feeling of necessary fun has definitely influenced my photos as of late.

Summer is my favorite time of year. I always seem a bit happier. It definitely influences my pictures in second life. The summer months have always meant time with friends and loved ones. It’s also when I take a breather from the world around me and indulge on the best parts of life. For me, it means being outside more. It means parties, food, drinks, and laughter–and definitely making memories.

So I was thrilled to see that Cuca Designs made these two wonderful poses for Pose Fair. The sponge is included with the pose and the phone is also included with the male pose. This wonderful backdrop is by IIlluzion It does have a limited amount of time, so you will have to hurry if you want to pick up these poses. They’re fun and flirty–a bit cheeky. They will be available at the Pose Fair until the 25th–the poses and backdrop. To help me cool off, Eliavah made this wonderful top for Kustom9. It really is an adorable shirt. You can pair it with a skirt, pants, or shorts. There’s so many options, and the textures are beautiful as always. The shorts are from Miss Chelsea. They are super sexy. Then this really really great hair from truth. The textures are really gorgeous. I haven’t bought truth hair for awhile, but I could not pass up this hair at Uber. The new round starts on the 25th.

I’m going to take a brief second to apologize for this post being so incredibly late. In the last few weeks, I’ve had a lot of doctors appointments. I had an incident a few weeks ago that led me to my surgeons office. I was given some not so great news, and I have been in and out of doctor’s offices. Thankfully, things seem to be slowing down, so I can begin to blog like normal. Thank you to my sponsors for being patient with me at this time. I will say that the warmer months have been helpful in keeping me cheerful. Sometimes it’s the little things. I hope you all find a little bit of summer in second life.

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.” Khalil Gibran

I know it’s early for another blog, but what can I say? There’s so much good stuff out right now. I just had to do another post…… you know to validate all my shopping. Seriously, the grid has been hopping with events. It’s a little late in the evening… very late, so this post will be a little short.

Some may have noticed links to music, I include them because music is part of blogging for me. It’s insanely relaxing to blog with music…and I like sharing. I have been on a very big hip hop/R&B kick for the last week or so. In the area that I grew up in, this genre of music was really popular. And I’ve been spending time in real life with some long time friends. We busted out the music and partied with BBQ, one very sunny day. This song reminds me of that weekend.

Now, for my title, it’s still my tarot card series. This picture is inspired by the lovers card. I was also inspired by….cough..cough…cough… The Red Light District event—-not to mention a few other events. But, I have to mention those events, because they were so good. I’m just going to blabber away where everything is from because there are so many of them.

To begin, my shorts are from Eliavah. I found them at equal10, which is a fairly new event. I’ve been to it a few times and I have to say it. I kind of love it. So definitely go to Equal10 and check out Eliavah’s merchandise. Just Because created this tube top with an option of having a ruffle or without, which was perfect for this outfit. The shoes are from Vale Koer which is now out along with the tube top at Collabor88. Now moving along to the male model, he is wearing an outfit by Gabriel at TMD, to include the shirt and pants. His necklace is from Real Evil Industries. I’ve never heard of this company, until now, it’s called Zoom, which created his glasses. His hair is from Doux. It’s called Troy and now on sale at Man Cave.

And finally, the furniture is next. The bed is on sale at The Red Light District and it’s by Krescendo. The lights are from Ariskea and the chair is by second spaces. You can find the chair, and lights at Collabor88–and my tube top. Last, but certainly not least, my backdrop came from a new company called House of Shade, which is working with foxcity. Speaking of which, my pose is from Foxcity. I highly recommend every item, and event listed.

Whew… that’s a lot of stuff for one post. Thank you, if you’re still reading this. I know it’s a lot of events, but there are some really great things out for sale and a lot of wonderful events. There’s a lot of information in that second paragraph. So you can always check down below at my credits.

Finally..finally finally, this quote is so meaningful to me. I agree so completely. Love. I could say a lot of things about love, but I do need to end this blog in a reasonable amount of time. For me, it shapes my entire world. My whole reason for being here is to love. Love gives us life, honey. And without it, there would be a world of darkness. It’s wonderful to give and receive love in all its lovely forms. So love each other harder. And if you hate someone, love them enough not to do harm. Love is a wonderful emotion and it makes the world go round.

Be kind to one another,

Cheers,

much love

Violet
