I like to imagine that Pickle and Durex have crept into an old, abandoned house in this photograph.
I'm not entirely sure where they've strewn their clothing, or what possessed them to run around such a creepy place with their pants down, but we all do crazy things sometimes, and maybe this is one of those times!
Culprit has once again stunned me with their magical bento Piano.
Don't get me wrong, it's not going to perform card tricks, or pull a rabbit from a top hat, but that doesn't make it any less spectacular! I'm adding another little gif whatsit below so that you can get a glimpse of the wonderful animations included - but please do demo the item for yourself so that you get the full effect!
I'm struggling to keep up with the awesome that Dappa is producing lately! It continues to warm my heart that brands I love who are still supporting me after a long time, manage to push their way into mainstream events one by one. There's no doubt in my mind that Dappa is entirely deserving of his current status, and he is always among the first tattoo brand that I will recommend to anyone looking for new art, not just because he's kind enough to allow me to review his items, but because the quality is always absolutely spot on.

I leave you with this, today. Draw your own conclusions.

“there's time for laughing and there's time for crying— 
for hoping for despair for peace for longing 
—a time for growing and a time for dying: 
a night for silence and a day for singing

but more than all(as all your more than eyes 
tell me)there is a time for timelessness”

Choose love.


Pose : FOXCITY. Portrait-7m

Location : Missing Melody

The last couple of days have been a bit odd for me.
I'm coming to terms with the fact that I have been numbing reality with avoidance, which makes complete sense given my issues... but it's the self-awareness that I didn't have before that now makes everything so obvious to me.
About a week ago I was given some news about someone who used to be very important to me. I loved them with my whole heart, and unfortunately, circumstances that could have been avoided by communication meant we ended up parting ways.
The news isn't good. In fact, from what I'm hearing it's terminal.
At first, I followed the path of what I've done before, immersing myself in nonsense to stop myself from feeling too much. Today however... today I am shrouding myself in sadness and so far, the tears haven't stopped falling.
There aren't many options available to me. The second-hand information I'm receiving is basic at best. There's no certainty about time, and it's very possible I've already lost someone who is in part responsible for me attempting to get my shit together.
My heart is heavy, and I need to gather my thoughts.
Hold the ones you love dear. Cherish every moment and for goodness sake, don't shy away from telling people how you feel. All we have is a collection of moments. Don't let them slip away.

Fall back together.


I used my AO and a tweak with the Lelutka Axis hud to make this pose work.. plus windlights on my platform, so there's no fancy info today!

I am having a very "monster" day today. A day where I woke up feeling pretty darn good, and then progressively started to internalize a bunch of insecurities until I end up blurting at some of my friends. Luckily, I have the BEST friends in the history of friends, and they soon turned my frown upside down.
For that reason, have some credits without some waffle! My poor Pickled brain cannot function beyond the very basics haha. Have a wonderful Friday!

Sweet for you.


Location : Missing Mile 

Pose : [La Baguette] (Not sure which... it's in my AO!)

Once again, Go&See has produced a stunning new skin. This one will be available today at Shiny Shabby and it's named "Heidi".
There are nine (9) tones available, and here's a preview! :


Between "witchy" and "tan" is the "pale" tone, and you can find a preview of that below with the facial options. 


So we all know Pickle can be a bit of a derp sometimes, and today is no exception. I forgot to whack my graphics up for these pictures, so they've all been taken on medium graphics, on CAIWL windlight... but I'm sure you can agree, despite my massive oopsie the skin shows beautifully.

All for you.

Nana's Pose : Kokoro Poses - Mermaid 1

Location : Seychelles (Private sim, Thanks Adam & Kristi!)

Props : Culprit Sonata Bento Upright Piano (LARGE)
[sau]Classic violin @ TMD
Thunk! Trumpet Silver & Rich
GCD - Vintage Microphone with Stand

This piano from Culprit is just EVERYTHING!
You can't tell from this picture, but I have included a little gif below just for a hint at how awesome it is. There's some amazing bento animations included, so when the music plays (and it really does play!) the hands of your avatar will move across the keys, and your fingers will wiggle too! It's so stinkin' cute!
I've only shown one style of the piano, but there are several different themes, which enable you to match it with practically every room conceivable to create in SL!


Here's the little gif. I'm still working out how to create video's in SL, so this is as much as I can do. The best thing to do would be to try a demo of the piano yourself. It truly is a dream!

All of the things, Durex : 

Helmet : Dominion Dive Suit* Market (Note: Other than one truly expensive gacha mesh helmet, this one was the only one I could find that seemed to fit the theme that had any kind of quality to it. It is made of SCULPTIES)
Suit : Kauna - 2BN Casual Suit (Note: a while back, Kauna set all his items to 0L in a clearout/no more Kauna sale. Kauna is STILL there, as are all the products, so go, buy the things, your wallet will not be harmed in the process!)
