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!

This scene was a little bit of a challenge for me, but ultimately I'm super happy with the outcome!

I really enjoy attempting to pull everything together coherently, while attempting to give a little visual story to go along with it. It's definitely a work in progress (as is my photography process in general!) and I'm thoroughly enjoying learning new things and trying new angles!

Happy days are here, and The Secret Affair has opened it's doors for the December round!

You can find more information about the event on the website >Here< or simply take the tp to transport yourself to the winter wonderland that has been created for you to peruse some fabulous goodies!

Location : Somewhere in time (Sim now closed)

Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a post about how my soul had collided with someone.

You can read that post >Here<.

Somewhere along the way, because I'm stubborn as fuck, we got a little lost.

However, in recent weeks, we've been spending a little more time together as and when circumstances permit, and everything I wrote back then has started to make sense, all over again.

What better way to celebrate our reaffirmed friendship than to re-take one of the pictures that started my revelation, and helped me along my journey? 

I'm so glad to be holding hands and walking with this amazing human, once more.

In another bizarre twist of fate, the Somewhere in time sim has now closed, and I can't help but feel like this is a beautiful tribute to a gorgeous sim, despite my little pictures never being able to do it justice. Looking forwards to seeing what the owners of this lovely location pull together in the future!

You might recognize today's guest from around this time last year. (also, you might not, but say hi anyway ok?).

Santi is making his debut back in the bloggy blog, after a cool 6 months or so away. 

It wasn't his fault he disappeared, but he was more of a casualty in my pre-self-awakening (is that even a thing?). Whatever, he's back now... and I'm not gonna let this lil bugger wriggle away again, because he truly is a gem.

I've decided I talk too much about myself. I mean, they say write about what you know, and maybe that extends to conversation too, but I can't help but feel I'm on the verge of becoming super annoying and also slightly preachy, so for that reason, I'm going to shut up. Or try to. >.>

Hi!

I know, Pickle looks super sad in this picture, but there's a theory behind my emotional turmoil here.. and it's that although Christmas and the Christmas Season is supposed to be filled with joy and happiness, for some people, it's just not possible.

I think it's an important reminder too, that not everyone celebrates Christmas, whether that's down to religion or personal reasons.. I know that as I grew up the idea of someone doing something differently to me at Christmas time was completely foreign, why would ANYONE want to give up all those lovely presents??

Anywayyyy... Sometimes we all lose track of what Christmas is supposed to be about. It's the season of giving, and for me that doesn't necessarily mean monetary or material items, but it's a time to reflect and actually spend time with those we care about. Everything we think of at this time of year in terms of giving to other people should be continuous themes in our lives, no matter what the season or date, and I for one am grateful that regardless of how successful I am in being decent at reminding people I care, this time of year pokes me in the face and gives a massive hint that I can, and should, be better.

On another note... I did a little research into Krampus (super quick, because I'm old, and learning is bleh.) it seems he's the evil to Santa's good.. instead of rewarding children with presents, he'd kidnap them, drown them and sometimes eat them.

Kinda gross, but thanks Wikipedia for being the reason i'm not gonna sleep tonight.

I've already had to deal with some unpleasant business this morning... twice.

I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut and just move on quietly, but that's just not me - yet.

Aside from my self-inflicted dramatics, I absolutely freaking love this outfit from Miss Chelsea, and you can catch all the details below.

I knowwwww, I keep changing my pictures at the moment, but I definitely feel like I'm getting somewhere! This is still a CAIWL picture in ultra, on firestorm. I haven't edited the avatar, but I have edited the background a smidge. I wanted you to see the Veechi Eyeshadow in a clearer context - and it's bootifuls!
