“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly, 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.”
- Mary Howlet
This is a theme I had been toying with since I found the Cureless eyes at previous round of Fifty Linden Fridays. I was slightly upset to realize they aren't add-on attachments, but in fact tattoo's/makeup - but they are so beautifully drawn, I am ultimately not disappointed.
Also, please please check out this beautiful skin from Lumae, I haven't been able to showcase it as well as I would like today, but I will definitely be wearing it again, as it is stunning!!
I was gonna write a massive rant about flickr vs blogs today. Again.
But,
I realized I'm just a salty bitch... so you're gonna be left with this, instead.
Whatever you do, do it for love.
Some people are going to accept you. Other people aren't going to understand the importance of what you do... but so long as you aren't doing what you do to specifically to hurt others, keep doing it.
Keep on keeping on until YOU don't love it anymore.
Happy hump day!
xoxo
Note : I'm actually pretty mad at myself at the misrepresentation of the hands for the Dappa Tattoo... there ARE hand tats included - but for whatever reason, I'm a total derp and didn't notice that the "gloves" section of my maitreya body had turned off after a relog... :(
Background : anxiety %prayer EXCLUSIVE @ The Epiphany
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."
I've tried to research where the saying originated from, but the closest I get is that a bunch of people have said it throughout the years, and it's now attributed as a modern proverb.
The reason I start with this is because I was thinking about faith, thanks to the Anxiety Prayer background from The Epiphany.
I'm not big on 'An Almighty God' or one being who will judge us all at the end of our existence, but I do believe in humanity, morals and judging yourself before others.
I do have friends and family who have a big belief in what I think is a 'Christian' God. Sometimes, I wish I could have an unerring definitive faith in something as big as a being who is ultimately controlling everything for us, teaching us, guiding us and helping us to learn from our mistakes, but there's an absolute feeling of helplessness and almost despair when I consider this, mostly because if it's the case that we've been shoved here for the entertainment of something else, why aren't we receiving more guidance?
I don't know all the answers, and I don't pretend to.
I've also been sporadically watching Morgan Freeman on Netflix do his series about God & Faith. It's incredibly interesting to me that so many religions and faiths are interlinked in their beliefs, and lets face it, it's pretty easy to zone out to Mr Freeman's voice because he could probably make the phone-book sound like a fun time.
Ultimately, I'm not adverse to changing my mind on God, but I'm willing to live my life the best I can for me, and those around me. Not because of the fear that I may not get into Heaven one day.
Hopefully, this post hasn't come across as offensive, I know faith is a very, very personal thing, and it's not my intent to stir up any ill feeling - just to create dialog/a new wave of thought as you peruse the pretties.

Shawl & Butterflies : + Summer Night Drape + {aii}
I thought it'd be nice to have a look at the Aii Butterfly Shawl. It's only 99L and it's so stinkin' cute - it attaches (bento style) to your 'wings' and the movement is fluid & adorable. There are also some add-on sparkles to make it even more sweet!
Extra Arms, Fabric & Balls : aii - + Extra Bento Arms + {egosumaii} @ KAGAMI2017 (Note : These can be omega enabled, and will match the tones of your favourite skins, provided the skin has an omega applier! \o/)
I gotta learn how to do this properly, but the bento arms from aii MOVE. The upper and lower versions are optional, and connect to different parts of your anatomy so they're constantly moving independently of each other. The 'balls' *giggles foolishly* and shawl are also optional. Seriously, go demo these. They're kinda pricey at 1000L, but I think they're WELL worth it.
Can we take a minute to talk about the {moss&mink} items please? First, the {moss&mink} Magical Bookcase! Not only does it look cute as f*ck, but it also comes with one of those fancy scripts that will help keep your inventory clean, and actually store your objects safely. The {moss&mink} Teepee Hideout... I'm still squealing about this for little Pickle. It has animations for regular avatars and toddleedoos. Both items come with a texture change hud to personalize your items and/or help them match with other {moss&mink} items! So much fun! ♥
