Say hi to Durex! He does alright, does our lad! 

Today I wanted to make a valiant effort to show off some of the fantastic tattoo's Dappa is producing. I feel like I blink, and he's gotten a brand new product at another premium event, so trying to keep up with him is insane - but Pickle loves a challenge!

I'm showcasing two today, one on Pickle and one on Durex, and although Durex's may not be entirely christmas themed, I felt like the colours fit in perfectly for a scene.

I woke up today with intentions of getting stuff done.

What actually happened was incessant zoning out, ridiculous videos watched on youtube and a whole heap of Ark, Survival Evolved. Welp. There's always tomorrow!

Location : Southern Roots Town Square

Yesterday saw KristiRenae of Southern Roots throw a massive street party, celebrating the opening of her new area - the town square.

Adam was kind enough to play some tunes (Enough with the Beiber already, Adam!), and a lot of the Adam's Model group popped by to say hello and explore. I genuinely had a lovely time, and although I'm completely people'd out today, it was absolutely wonderful to see people coming together again and show support for Kristi's fantastic new area.

I fully encourage taking a tp to Southern Roots to explore - and if you join the group, you will get the ability to rez your own poses and small props in order to take your pictures. \o/

Moving on to the clothing I'm wearing today - the Bikini is by Narcisse. I think the top is so beautiful it could easily be worn with a skirt or a pair of pants as a top, and while most colours are available in the mainstore, there's a special blue version that you can pick up with the Midnight Mania event that happens monthly. You can find more details on that >Here< but hurry! This is a limited time offer!

I've been rocking my Genus head again for a few days, and while it's still technically in Beta and not released publicly again yet, it has been updated to omega, so I've been experimenting with hairbases, make-ups and other cool bits and pieces. I've worked out that most Logo appliers will work for the head, and that's due to the fact that Logo is omega based.

In other news, I've been really stinking lucky this week, and been invited to three new blogger teams. Now, I don't really know how or why this happened, but I was obviously over the moon when I was approached by the blogger managers for Culprit, Hextraordinary and The Enchantment event.

I don't like making a big song and dance over 'sponsorships' across social media, because I know how it feels to watch someone get a spot you were really hoping for, and while there's always going to be a "Yay congrats!" to them, my stomach does sometimes do a flip flop and make me wonder why I wasn't 'enough' to join that particular team.

The truth is, there are many reasons as to why you are or aren't selected for a team. I still feel like I'm not a 'real' blogger. I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable being all "Yeah, hi. I'm Pickle, and I'm a blogger." I have so much to learn, and there are so many different ways to present items... I just hope I do those who put their trust in me justice, and am terribly grateful to those who have supported my ramblings and pictures thus far.

Location : Elysion (Adult) - The Redwoods (Residential Sim, Group only access. Please be courteous!)

Today, I bought you flowers.

As soon as I saw this tattoo I squee'd. Santi also prodded me to make sure I'd seen it.

I don't love many flowers, I mean, they're pretty to look at and some of them smell okay but I'm a pretty severe hayfever sufferer and if I sniff for too long I'm likely to cough, splutter and sneeze for at least an hour afterwards... but sunflowers? I can get with those bad boys.

I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps it's their cheery colour, or the fact that they really do look like little suns growing tall and proud, or maybe it's because as a kid in Primary Schools we were encouraged to grow them and the tallest won.. something I don't remember. I don't like eating the seeds, but I do like watching the lil animals scampering around shoveling them into their mouths and running away with cheeks full to popping point. And hamsters. I kinda have a love hate relationship with those furry buggers too, but they're always adorable with a pouch full of sunflower seeds.

Anyway... with such unusual colouring I wanted to make this picture pop, and I totally copied my Juni and ran around Elysion (because she'd reminded me I was in the group and I flippin' paid the fee so I'm gonna flippin' use it, k?). I believe it's been newly decorated and semi-newly opened up with rentals and it's of course, stunning and I hate that I'm a fraction as talented as the landscapers... but I digress again... 

Honestly, I have no idea where I'm going. Sometimes I start with a plan, and other times it half formulates as I'm writing. I think today I might have fallen down a rabbit hole and maybe should have written about bedazzling my vagjayjay like I suggested to Juni, but I'm not. Instead I'll tell you that I spent a small fortune trying to get the bee's & the purple headpiece from a Lode Gacha, because they matched the tattoo and whenever I think of Sunflowers I also think of bee's, and scamper off to sleep after an amazingly awesome set by Recka at Consent. Yes. That's a good plan Pickle. Go to sleep you plonker.

This post occurred because of Juniper, again! Say hi guys!

When she spotted these adorable bodysuits by Dead Dollz, She immediately said to me "Pickle! We NEEEEED to do a blog with these!" Of course I agreed, not just because the bodysuits really ARE adorable, but also because of the sound of sheer excitement in Juniper's voice!

I can't remember why we decided to go to half-deer. Possibly because I'm a bossy-boots and once again took over the whole concept of the shoot. Initially, I just wanted us to cosy up on the couch looking cute af, but then as the placement of the props began, there was a whole backstory that turned up in my head. Picture the scene :

You and your bestie are having a sleepover. Naturally, you've got all your pets around you, and no matter whether they're chicks and kitties or otherwise, they naturally all get along perfectly, why? Because it's your imagination and it's perfect there, that's why!

You've prepared for this for a while, so all your favourite things are readily available to you. Who doesn't love macaroons and candy and cups of juice and and ALL THE THINGS?

I think at some point the film on the TV might have become a little tiresome for Juni, because she's pulled her phone out (although I do know she likes to keep her facebook open on her phone, so maybe she's just checking out a cute guy's photo, or responding to yet another penis picture (I'm kidding, don't send her those), when an action packed moment occurs on screen, and her glance is knocked away from the cell phone and she focuses entirely on the magical on-screen thingy-ma-bob.

You can tell from my expression that it's a cliff-hanger moment, I look like I'm ready to either cover my eyes or my mouth depending on the result.

However you chose to see the scene we set up, you can be absolutely assured that we were screaming "OH MY GOD WE'RE SO CUTE" a bunch, and generally having a riotous time!

Thank you so much, Juni. You truly do Jingleallmybells <3

I can't describe the feeling of contentment I have right now.

To say the last week has been a rollercoaster of emotions would be an understatement, even by my standards. If you've been reading for a while, you'll know that I barely left my platform for two years. It seems that stepping out of my box has ruffled a few feathers, and I'm okay with that. Those who know me, will continue to. Those that don't perhaps never will.

This last week I literally bumped souls with someone. At first, I was naturally cautious.

The more we talked and the more patient they were, the easier it has been for me to open up.

I'm not scared to say anything.

I'm not worried that I might be too much, or not enough.

As things stand right now, holding hands and walking is enough, and I cannot thank them enough for their understanding of me, their time spent with me allowing me the space for creativity and ranting and all the things that make me feel good.

I'm  not stifled. I'm still free.

And it feels really, really fucking nice.
