Throw down.

Pose : Poseidon Poses Tauriel 2 @ Enchantment (opens 9th Feb)

Bow : .~DN~. Golden Huntress Bow (This is actually really good fun and I had a whale of a time throwing a friend across my sim for lols.) @ The Secret Affair

So, I kinda created this scene in a super huge, overdone way. What you can't see is the swamp in the background, and the fact that Pickle is actually on a ledge, and the horses are way below on a ravine. I guess I need to work a little more on getting my background into the whole scene I'm creating, but there's worse things to realize!

Let's talk about Enchantment, yeah?

It's only bloody Lord of the Rings themed! I'll be honest, I had actively avoided watching this series of movies or reading the books. I think back in the day the 'cool kids' were into the Hobbit, and then of course the Lord of the Rings, and so it's just been something I avoided out of habit, and not disinterest - kinda like Star Wars (don't kill me, I'm aware I'm blaspheming all over.)

Still, when I found out that this round was going to be LOTR themed, I HAD to watch, and I freakin' loved it. All of it. Every single bit. I mean, I can't tell you the name of the characters because that stuff goes in one ear and out the other, but I'd definitely watch it all again, and would even consider reading the books (gasp!).

With that said, can you guess who I'm channeling, albeit in female form (with slightly longer ears)?

It's of course Legolas the Elf who likes his bow and arrow (and yes, I had to google his name)!

Now, I dunno how close I actually am to pulling it off, but that was my take on the whole thing, and I had HOURS of fun with this (literally, hours. My poor homestead is in tatters because I got excited and over decorated like a boss), but let's get to the credits, k?

Lemme talk to you for a minute about Magic.

Don't you start shaking your head at me, and trying to tell me it doesn't exist... you're likely to get a whole desert spoon thrown at your face!

It's a new year. I knew that it would be when I went to bed at 9pm last night, and waking up this morning it was true, but here's where the magic starts to work.

Every single day we have is a new start. I understand how easy it is to fall into the trap of feeling like you have to wait for something big to happen before you make the changes you need, but you don't need to wait for anything. You really can start today, or yesterday, or tomorrow.

The magic I'm talking about comes from inside YOU. Honestly, I know this might sound a little trite and contrary, but I don't even care. YOU have the power to make whatever changes you want to make, right now! It doesn't have to be a giant leap - if you can leap, great! I'll applaud you. But if you can only manage babysteps, and you're making an effort, I will without a doubt applaud you just as loud.

If you go to bed believing that you're a failure because that diet you wanted to start didn't happen, or because you didn't even get dressed today and it was supposed to be the year of getting your shit together, don't worry! Don't beat yourself up or deny yourself for a whole lifetime of tomorrows, but do ONE thing for yourself today, even if it's as simple as admitting you're a human. You can do it, if not today then TOMORROW.

I've been a little lapse in terms of the Photo Challenge stuffs, and I have no excuse really, except for the fact I'm a lazy bastid sometimes, and this might just be one of those times haha.

To my absolute amazement I was offered a position as a Secret Affair blogger.

I'm not entirely sure what I did to deserve this, but I am obviously thrilled!

This round, the theme is "Isle of the Devil's Sea", and you can find some more information on designers and other such awesome on their website >Here<

The event opened today, so make sure you take a look around and grab some goodies!

Unfortunately, Pickle is still sitting in uncomfortable RL misery -wails dramatically- while this sickness kicks my butt, however, I am thoroughly enjoying this look of "Terribly dramatic half-mermaid being terribly dramatic in what is essentially a back-garden pond."

I hope you enjoy it too!

A little guard.

Pose & Tiger : Poseidon Savage Lands 10 (Gacha) @ Fantasy Gacha Carnival

Staff : Dahlia - Umrae - Staff - RARE @ Fantasy Gacha Carnival

Background items & Necklace : Violetility - Mordred Gacha @ Fantasy Gacha Carnival

This is a post I've had in my head for a while, and I actually tried super hard for about 6 hours one day to make this happen, but that day my face just wasn't having it. Today, I'm surprised because this came about with ease. Sometimes it's just like that and you need to pack up and try again later.

I'm showcasing a lot more items from Fantasy Gacha Carnival, and this amazeballs tattoo is from this round of Bodyfy. Both of these events have been longstanding sponsors for my blog and I'm super proud to have them on my list.

Making this about me (because this is my blog and I can), I try to apply for stores and events that I know I will have a genuine love for. I don't apply willy-nilly to every store that pops up on my feed looking for bloggers and every time I get accepted I really see it as an honor, and I strive to showcase any product I am given honestly and in their best light - that being said, if I truly disliked any product, it would not be featured on my blog. I'm aware I'm a very lucky girl to have such wonderful store owners supporting me so that I can support them with my silly little photographs. I just hope that you, dear reader, can see the quality of the products on show, too.

However, being a "blogger" regardless of your "sponsors" or the length of time you've been doing it, is definitely a labor of love. You can't jump into blogging and expect to be given things immediately. You can't start a blog and then have ALL of your clothing, skin, hair, shape, backgrounds & accessories provided for you through the kind donations of sponsors, you actually have to purchase items. Add to that when you do manage to gain a few sponsors the fact that you will need to showcase their items, it can be quite pricey - and that's sort of where i'm leaving this. I believe the expectation is that as a blogger you get a bunch of awesome stuff for free and then you're set for SL Life because yanno, you're a bigshot! But there are SO many bloggers, so much competition and such a high expectation now, it is becoming harder and harder to stay focused, relevant and on trend.

I hope you find some pleasure in my work, because I do. Rest assured if that feeling of joy ever dissipates, I will move on, but for now and for the forseeable future this blog is going to remain a big part of who Pickle is.

Refuge - Selene Ottoman Pink/S @ The Coven (Notes : The Selene Ottoman comes in a selection of colours, with the option of gold or silver accents. It's also available as a PG or Adult item, definitely worth checking out!)

ZOMG! So today's post is running a little later than planned, because photoshop decided to crash on me when I was about 20 minutes away from clicking 'Save'.
Somehow, I calmed myself down and didn't throw my computer out of the window... and then started over, hitting save sporadically in case the same thing happened again!
I'm not sure what's with me today, but I got about 20 minutes towards clicking 'Save' again, and CLOSED THE FUDGING FILE. Yes. That's right. "Close all" does JUST that.

Anyway! Let's talk about this dress for a minute, k? See them thar sparkles? They're not added fancy effects. The dress is most definitely materials enabled and when you wiggle around, be that with an AO or a dance, or yanno, pose, the dress LEGIT FREAKIN SPARKLES. Not only that, but there's an array of colours, it caters to Maitreya, Belleza Freya & Isis(with push up & perky options), AND Hourglass, so everyone can get into this slinky number and parade about feeling like BAJILLIONS of Lindens!
