Move it.

Pose : <K&S> Loveliness pose 3

I think I've touched briefly on how difficult it can be as a blogger to 'compete' with the other talent out there at the moment, and sometimes while I'm busy complaining and feeling sorry for myself over another rejection, I forget how extraordinarily lucky I am, and how grateful I should be for the creations my 'sponsors' are generous enough to gift me - and all to allow me to continue taking some photographs of myself.

I'm a bit of a stubborn and proud person. Daily, I try and work on that but old habits die hard. I don't apply to stores just because I want free things. I apply to stores because their creativity inspires mine. The "free" things are nice, but in the grand scheme of things, I'm probably only going to wear them/use them once or twice because being a blogger means that at least every day (usually more, because I have far too much free time!) I change my outfit.

This is massive for me, because for the last three years, blogging has been my hobby and that turned into a passion. I absolutely love taking someone else's creative work (with their permission of course!) and twisting that into a story that - although I may be the only one to see it - makes sense to me and despite not being successful with every new application I make, my aspirations for my blog and photography are bigger than they have ever been, and I will continue to strive for better photography, better commentary and a better Pickle to bring them all together.

Thank you to all my beautiful "sponsors" (I really do hate that term!) for coming along with me on my journey... and thank you to everyone who peeks in occasionally reading my dribble. ♥

Pose : *!R.O!* Violin BENTO Pose 2 (Set comes with Violin & Bow, not shown)

Violin & Bow : [GW] Skull Violin Moonstone 

Location : Yorkshire

When *R.O* showed a work in progress of his absolutely stunning set of poses, I internally screamed like an excited child at Disney. 

Many moons ago, when I was just a wee slip of a lass, I was actually fairly decent at playing the Viola. Not many people seem to know what a Viola is, and the only way I can describe it is that it is bigger than a Violin, still held under the chin, and in regards to Orchestral situations, the Violas (being slightly more bass-like) would sit nearer to the Cellos than the Violins.

Back then, I was incredibly jealous of the Violin players. Not only did one of them get chosen as "First Violin" which essentially meant that special person would be second in command to the Conductor (that's the guy waving his stick around looking slightly crazy with his wig falling off if he gets really into it), but it also meant there were solo's and actual recognizable tunes that they were often responsible for. As a Viola player, it was rare (in Orchestral terms) I would get anything fancy to play, and I was always slightly butthurt by that.

However, other than wanting to be a Violin player because of my teenage jealousy, I had a few absolutely wonderful experiences. I was lucky enough to do a small (like, extremely small) tour of Barcelona (where I bought a Real Madrid football shirt, and got chased along a beach by a naked Spaniard), played at the Royal Festival Hall and the Barbican Centre in London and made a few friends that I'll never forget.

In other news, *R.O* stated that this pose set was inspired by Lindsey Stirling. As an artist, she is visually and aurally stunning, and my picture today was loosely based upon her amazing "First Light" video - which I have included below for you to peek at. Please do peek. Please!

Yesterday we had an erotic story time at Consent. I was a little apprehensive, because I hadn't actually spoken to the lady in world on voice, and my initial thought was "Crap, what if she sounds like she's lost all her teeth, run a marathon and smokes 90 a day?" I know. I'm awful. But in reading erotica, these things are important. Anyway, Shay showed up, and absolutely knocked me off my stool. Not only does she have a stunning voice, but she's clearly educated and her stories weren't run of the mill, "He put it in me and I orgasmed" type stories. There was also a degree of learning as I discovered Walt Whitman was in fact a bit of a literotica writer, so I'm super psyched for the next time she decides to host something!

Leading on from the erotica almost seamlessly, I want to take a moment to address RLD (Red Light District). The newest round opened on the 15th, and while you have probably seen a couple of items available already, I feel it necessary to remind you of all the details you might need to keep up to date with this wonderfully kinky event i'm lucky enough to currently blog for. The website is right >Here<  and you can find everything you need to know about the event included in the easy to peruse site, whether that's the current creators and their products available in this round, applications for designers/bloggers - and there's even a special page dedicated to their bloggers! See if you can find my ever-changing face in the sea of amazingly creative photographers!

Check out all RLD items (And more!) below!

I'd like you to imagine I'm Mrs Claus.

My husband, Santa, has obviously been very busy making the children of the world happy. The last month has been especially hard while he tries to get all his deadlines met, and his Elves have been needier than ever. Not to mention Rudolf caught a cold and his nose wasn't shining nearly as brightly as it should have been, so I've been in the kitchen concocting potions (mainly chicken broth) to try and make him better in time for Christmas Eve.Unfortunately for me and Santa that means we've been like two ships passing in the night, kissing briefly under the mistletoe when we pass each other in the halls decked with holly. Now the hard work for this year is over, and I've gathered by the sofa with some cookies I baked (Santa NEVER tires of his cookies), and some warm drinks, along with a few presents I've gathered for Santa to open when he finally awakes from the longest sleep he has all year.

It seems I might have dozed off myself after preparing a feast fit for a miracle man, let's hope he wakes me sweetly!

"The empty vessel makes the loudest sound."

It's pretty easy to find quotes to relate to any moment in your life, such is the beauty of the interwebs. I'm guessing even if my opinion was different, I would be able to find an appropriate quote to fulfill that, too.

I do love me some Shakespeare though!

This is a very brief write-up today because my spoon count is low, but just remember kids, unless you've walked in the same shoes, the same footprints as someone, you don't know them. 

And most of all, consider your sources.
