So I normally don’t do a double post, but well I was a bit busy in the month of September. I haven’t really been online much in the last two weeks. But sometimes, you have battles you have to face in life and I am no exception. So I had to step away.. handle my life and come back with new eyes.

The above two photos were again inspired by a series called guild hunter. I am very addicted to it. After many years of not really reading much, I’ve stepped back into eating books. I fell in love with so many of the characters. I will admit those angel characters are seeping through to my sl.

Any way, I digress. Collabor88, Kustom9, and Uber have all been open and running. I highly recommend these three events. They are completely fantastic. I hope you all find something that you really like. I have to make a quick note about my sexy shorts by Eliavah… they are fantastically dirty and I like it. My hot skull heels are by Utopia and perfect for a creepy start to October. I hope you all enjoy these items as much as I do. Truly wonderful pieces.

Okay I am off to that great wonderful pillow. I hope you grab a friend and shop to your hearts content.

As always, be kind to one another.

Cheers,

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

Wheel of Fortune

 

 

 

“No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.”

So I’ve been feeling a little lost lately. It’s easy to feel like that, when so many things change all at once. It led me to the Wheel of Fortune card in the tarot deck. Feeling lost leads to finding yourself sometimes. So it’s whatever is in your cards in the future. Fate plays a hand in your wheel of fortune. Which leads me to my next topic…. getting caught up with my blog… It was all fate…

Playing catch up with blogging and trying to heal isn’t always the easiest. And I know eventually, I will be all caught up. But for now, I have to apologize for this post being a little late. I am very sorry. BUT … we must continue on and discuss shopping.

This month’s round of Uber is INSANE. I bought a lot of things from uber. My dress, shoes, and coat rack are all available at this event. Vinyl created this wonderful whimsical dress. Eudora3D made my wonderful shoes. Finally, dust bunny created this fantastic coat rack. I am really smitten with these items. I think many others will be too. When I put them all together, I could feel the crisp air floating around me. I knew fall was literally at my door step.

BUT, I didn’t just feel the love of fall at Uber. I also felt it at Hair Fair. Eliavah created this wonderful ponytail with tendrils hanging down on one side of the head. This hair does include versions with the tendrils down the left or right side. This hair makes me want to grab a hot chocolate and sit wrapped in a blanket on the porch. Finally, the pumpkin sign and barrels came from brocante. It was available for 50L. Unfortunately, it is available, but at full price.

When I created this picture, I had every intention of blogging it on Friday, but my health prevented me from blogging this photo. Again, I am sorry this photo is a little late. I will say that all the fall creations have me excited for the seasons changing. I hope you get in the spirit of fall and visit Hair Fair–and Uber. Okay my lovely followers, I must end this blog a little short. I am extremely tired, but thank you for taking a minute to read my blog. If you like any of these items, please check out my credits down below.

As always, be kind to one another.

 

Cheers,

Violet xoxo

p.s. I know that my pictures are a bit smaller. I’m working on the issue. For some reason, they are uploading smaller than I took them.

 

Mistakes

 

 

 

“Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.” Benjamin Franklin

I found this quote at a time contemplating my own mistakes in all worlds. Benjamin Franklin simply meant that mistakes and failures don’t ruin us. They give us opportunities to grow and move on from them. They teach us something about ourselves good and bad. I made a mistake this week, but not the kind where you left your keys on the counter instead of the key ring. It was this blaring mistake with awful consequences. I ended up hurting my friend in the process, which I’ll always be sorry for. I never want to hurt people, yet I do.

Instead of self pity for my own mistakes, I’d rather take a minute to thank people instead, because life is not always about me. Life is about people. The struggles and adversity that people endure becomes a piece of each person–yet does not define them. I’m thankful for a friend who taught me that lesson. Thank you Yumi. Sometimes it is the kindness that people show to one another. They seem to be happy by making others happy. Thank you Manky. It’s the people who spend endless amount of time getting to know their closest friend and teaching them about editing photos—and even how you work this bloody thing called second life. I wouldn’t know how to edit my clothes without you–or how to dress at times. Thank you Matzu. Then, there are those whose life is defined by silliness and a willingness to say anything in hopes of a laugh. The ones who look up events and make you excited. Thank you Kira. Finally, it’s the role-players who lift the spirit of a person behind a screen struggling. I’ll leave that one nameless. I’m thankful for this person none the less. Thank you to the friends who have kept me company in the late hours/early morning by inviting me out to see them dj and host. I love supporting people who love music just as much as I do. I get to shake my booty with the likes of Stormy, Pixie, Lilly, River and Byte. Thank you Mattuh for your funny things that you send me. Thank you Pizzy for sending me a Christmas card on a tough day. You are all an important part of my second life.

I know that all of these people have real lives. They have their own unique struggles. Yet despite all of that, they make time for others in some way. Hopefully by my own screw ups, I learn to appreciate people more and make others feel listened to–and validated. Maybe just maybe, I will learn to whine less and be there for others more. Hopefully, I will learn to shut my mouth and just listen. I even bought a mask to help me with that problem! I’m not a perfect person. I’m flawed. I make mistakes, but I have a good heart–or at least I’d like to think so. We’re all bound to make an error in judgement, but like Benjamin Franklin said those mistakes don’t ruin us. They give us an opportunity to grow and to become better. I can only hope that I am there more for others because the world is bigger than Violet. I hear you. I see you. You are not alone. I’m sending every one of you a virtual hug. Be kind and good to yourselves in your waking hours, because I do care about you.

Finally, I get to talk a little bit about the above photo. I went to Uber two days ago with one of my closest friends. We found this top and mask from Vinyl. I just had to buy it. The mask is called Neo Meddy Mask. The bra and turtleneck are called Scars. Both are available in multiple colors and designs. You will just have to check them out for yourselves!

See credits down below for styling.

Be kind to one another. Cheers.

Violet XOXO
