Remembering With Love My Friend Dee..

Remembering With Love My Friend Dee..

Two years already gone petal.

It feels so strange that you aren’t here, and only yesterday that you were, even though that’s sadly not the case.
I think about you every day: there are photos of you all over in both RL and SL, and even though the pain of losing you isn’t as raw as it once was I still miss you desperately.
I was laughing today at stuff we used to do, for example when we couldn’t stop saying ‘I Love Lamp’, and I saw some new varieties of Nag Champa incense and immediately thought ‘Oooh! Dee would love that!’ Don’t even get me started on the Ozimals bunnies, you’d have gone chuffing potty over them:) In fact SL has changed so much but I know you would have been so active in it and doing so many
things..I’m pretty sure I would have found it hard to keep up.
I love it that I can remember our conversations and laughs and the things you loved (and hated) because when I see certain things I can recall what your reaction would be, and that helps keep you around for me.

I’ll be lighting a candle for you and some Nag Champa, your fave, next to your photo and saying a wee prayer of thanks for the fact that I had you as my beloved friend, and even though you are gone I am forever grateful for the time that we shared.
You lit up so many lives Dionne and those flames that will never be extinguished, just like the star in the sky above us that bears your name. Love you Dee xxx

Bikinilicious!

Haven’t posted much since Friday, and for that I apologise, but I’ve been catering to my burgeoning bunny collective!
I’ve gone from two bunnies to TEN, yes TEN, of which I will post more later and it’s terrific fun,  but I had to share this look with you so bad that I’ve left my bunny exploits behind for now. As you can see  I’m wearing a splendiferous bikini from PIG and I absolutely adore it. There’s no way you could wear this in real life because the tan lines would be just horrific, but I really rate the detail and fit of this beautiful ‘Hortensia’ bikini.  I’m wearing the Aubergine shade, which looks especially lovely against the amber stones in this wonderful ‘La Brie’ jewellery set from CAD & TART.  (If you’re a group member you also get a pair of matching sandals)
I often wear bangles to cover the nasty wrist joints that always cause a problem for me in Second Life  photographs and I am forever wearing my ‘Mineral’ bangle set, so I’m really pleased to have some new additions to my collection, and they are of course beautifully textured and designed.
Finally I also want to mention my eyeshadow; the purple shade that I am wearing is part of a ten-pack from GLAMORIZE called ‘Glitzy’, and it costs just TEN LINDENS!!  It’s an absolute bloody bargain, a bunch of glittery eye colours that work on the new tattoo layer in viewer 2.0.  These are tons of fun especially because they add new colour to existing skins and make plain skins look uber-stunning.  The skin incidentally was a group freebie from TULI only available at Icon, with lips that have been coloured so beautifully that they look dewy and oh so moist and nommy.  The eyes were quite plain so this ‘Glitzy’ make up in purple has really vamped up the look.
Oh, and yes I am still wearing the TRUTH hair that I squeed about in my previous post.  I really have no idea how he’s going to better it, but seeing as he usually releases all his newness on a Thursday these days we won’t have long to wait to find out. I’ll be sure to share with you of course!
NEW Truth Hair-‘Kalista’ is Bloody stunning.

Remember the original Ferrero Rocher advert, where they’re at the Ambassador’s party? The guy is uber-cool and has, ahem, ‘exquisite taste’, and nods towards his butler to bring in a silver tray teaming with chocolates. The butler carries the pile of golden nommables around and each guest selects one with mucho gusto, causing one of them to say to the Ambassador, ” Monsieur, With these Rocher you are really spoiling us!” ( You can watch it here, it’s a classic!)

Well, that’s how I feel about Truth hair, because at the moment I definitely feel like Mr Hawks is spoiling us and then some. He’s released another FOUR styles this week  and I’m wobbling with excitement! (Alas I could only splurge on one due to the blinking car failing her MOT this morning..GAHHH) This one is ‘Kalista’ and it is a thing of beauty.

Regular readers will know about my Truth hair obsession ( there is NO cure)  and my tendency to refer to his new streak-enhanced styles as ‘Bacon Hair’, because they’re streaky and nommable.

(I know, in my mind you’re thinking “Dear Lord, what a wit! Mark Twain and Charles Dickens must be shaking in their tombs!” when actually you’re thinking “Lame..” Just humour me ok? You should be used to it by now.. ) Well, this takes meaty hairstyles up a notch. This isn’t JUST Bacon Hair my friends, this is the finest bacon, probably sourced from golden happy pigs and oak smoked by pixies or some other woodland Fae folk because we’ve moved on from not one but TWO sets of streaks that change colour !!! YAYYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY!! GET IN!

As you can see it looks bloody fantastic. You can really co-ordinate your look just that little bit more and beeven more amazing than usual with just the click of a coupl of buttons on a menu..no fuss, no hassle and it makes Ferrero Rocher look like dust covered-weasel pissballs, if there is such a phenomenom. ( A delicacy in some quarters, so I hear)

So, go and check out ‘Kalista’ on Truth’s blog, and follow the links to that style and Rylan, Rylan 2 and Layla (epic name, epic bunches!) and click on each to buy them at XStreet, thus avoiding the store-scrummage.  Personally I feel it is high time he was knighted for services to hair.

Sir Truth, we are not worthy to lick your boots and I for one salute you! ( MOAR BACON HAIRRR PLEASE!!!!)

I know this isn’t SL related, and for that I will make amends by my following post, but I had to share this, and seeing as it’s my blog where better to say thank you to some very special people?

Today has the potential to be the ‘Day From Hell’

For starters I barely slept last night so I’m completely knackered. I’m still in pain from my surgery, stressed out and feeling so poorly most days that I just don’t want to engage with the universe at large. To compound it all, I’ve had to drive the car to the garage for her MOT, and painful isn’t the word (Driving is near on impossible at the moment following stitches in the unmentionables)
Cup of tea and a cry when I get in, accompanied by MAJOR sulk. Knock at door. Beloved’s parcel has arrived (he gets deliveries every day due to his rampant retro console collection habit)

Only, this parcel isn’t for him, it’s for me? It says the magic word ‘CAKE’ on the front..cake?

It’s my mums birthday tomorrow, I didn’t order her a cake, and I haven’t been pissed in ages so I know for a fact that I haven’t been drunken E-buying…
Tentatively I open the parcel to be greeted by beautiful red box tied with ribbon. What the hell is this? It can’t be from beloved, he never buys me random presents, so what can it be?
Open box to see gold paper and a smell that can only be described as the ambrosia-tinged scent of angel poop (That’s a GOOD thing BTW) wafts into the air and hits my nostrils.
Indiana ( My doggy daughter) starts bouncing around the kitchen in a way that makes me think some warlock has cast an evil spell upon her.

I open the wrapping and what do I see?
(To be said in Michael Caine voice) “CUPCAKES. THOUSANDS OF ‘EM!” (Well, a dozen but bloody hell!)

All the colours of the rainbow and absolutely gorgeous, I’ve had just *ONE* and I think I’ve had an epiphany!

Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, for making me smile on an utterly crappo day, which is likely to get even worse as I am expecting a call to tell me my car has failed her MOT.

You are the truest of friends and I have no words to adequately describe how touched I am by what you’ve done xxxx

So I made two pictures instead to show the world what I will be making myself very sick on later:)
