Island in the Sun

When you're on a golden sea

You don't need no memory

Just a place to call your own

As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun

We'll be playing and having fun

And it makes me feel so fine

I can't control my brain

It feels good to be back.  I cannot tell you how great it felt to edit a picture today.  I had plans to blog this before my unexpected absence but life went getting in my way.  Well you still have time to get over to Summerfest and stock up on your fill of amazing summer clothing, bathing suits, giant floppy hats and more.  If you are looking for an amazing beachy location to take your pictures you have to look no further than Baja Norte/Salt Water.  Thanks to Skylar for passing on that little gem for me.

Today

Today is the greatest

Day I've ever known

Can't live for tomorrow,

Tomorrow's much too long

I'll burn my eyes out

Before I get out 

The Liaison Collaborative opened its doors to The Boutique again this month and I confess it did some damage to my linden balance.  That said get over there because there is some really cute stuff out including three new hairs by Elikatira including the one I am wearing.  The skirts and tops by Baiastice come in a wide range of colors and patterns to mix and match.  Noodles has some really adorable hair flowers and wreaths out as well as jewelry.  And lastly I could not resist this clothes line by Flowey.  It comes with 5 poses total in it.  You can go check out what they have to offer HERE.

I had no idea what I was going to do with these feathers Boom released for Collabor88 but I just knew I needed them.  The whole whimsical bit fell together between Flowey's sky box with these amazing cloud textures and this other lovely skin from Glam Affair available there as well.  I was surprised and delighted of course to also find Truth had put a hair in for this round.  Last but not least, you all know my love for Maxi Gossamer so here is so more of her jewelry from this month's collection.

I picked up this fun pose from Emody.  They sell a pack of aerial poses there that are quite fun and a perfect fit with these boxes in this blogger's opinion.

No Time To Get Down 'cause I'm Moving Up

*Shake yer booty!!* 

Took a trip on a bus that didn't know
Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
Said truth comes back when you let it go
Seems complicated cause it's really so simple
Walkin' down Young Street on a Friday
Can't follow them, gotta do it my way
No fast lane, still on a highway
Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter day

No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crabs in the bucket

My top and boots, plus the table, chair and calendar are all FLF items! The (extremely) inspirational quote on my wall....coming soon for the Four Walls Hunt from Wall Candy!

Bye Bye Beautiful

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead Siblings walking the dying Earth

Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells

"I need to die to feel alive"

 

 

 

Most of you know Skylar and I take the bulk of our pictures on a platform.  We actually build a lot of our scenes.  I honestly thought this was normal but it appears it is not necessarily the case.  Qopi was visiting with us and commented on the fact she did not think people sometimes realized the work that went in to building a scene for a blog.  I never looked at this as work.  I looked at it as fun.  To me it is an artistic expression.  And so the two of them sat down on a couch up there winging out furniture and ideas, picking accessories and wallpaper with me until this picture fell into place.  It was honestly not what I intended, I had a very different scene in mind but sometimes the building of a picture takes on a life of its own.  I know it is dark for some, but I personally like this piece a lot.  I especially had fun adding the touch of the bloody handprint.  I guess I am a bit twisted.
