I've touched on my roleplay in Conan Exiles before but I've taken a huge step in a different direction. Myself and six of my friends have come together to make our very own Conan Exiles roleplay server by the name of Weavers of Fate. I cannot begin to tell you how exciting this is. We will be introducing so much custom content from a new conquest system, to an economy with gold that matters.

Charisma of Pixel Tinkerbell posting? Crazy right? It's been so long since I've used this platform to post, let alone have it actually be SL related. I wanted to take a moment though and talk about some things, things that I think are important and everyone should be thinking about.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The world is crazy right now. Some might frankly call 2020 the worst year of their lives. We live in a very different world now, where you have to wear a mask everywhere and keep six feet apart (you better be doing these damn things). I've stayed on social media, Twitter and Plurk specifically. I don't post much but I do read. And I want to speak about something I've seen of late.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not very good with words, I was always more about the pictures but I was thinking about how to word what I wanted to say. And what I wanted to say is let's be careful of cancel culture. Call out culture is one thing but cancel culture, well we might as well be a mob with pitchforks. Everyone deserves to be heard, but the loudest voice in the room isn't always the "right" one. We can do better. We can take every experience as just that, a separate experience. Examine it, question it, hell even validate it. Don't lose out on all the voices just because one is particularly loud or popular. Be good to one another. My favorite quote of all time is actually from Cinderella and it's "have courage and be kind." I love it because it's simple and easy to live by.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What do I mean by cancel culture and call out culture? This is particularly prevalent on social media right now. Call out culture is calling out someone's mistakes and asking them to examine then. Cancel culture is completely "canceling" someone on their platform. It often calls for people to block them, boycott them, take away their job, destroying them in general. An example of this is lately I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing New Horizons. A girl visited someone's island and picked flowers and people took to Twitter to dox her for it and try to get her fired from her real life job. Over flowers in a video game. This is cancel culture and quite frankly, it's scary and wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I said, every situation is different, there's two sides to every story and we should be looking at all the evidence first before getting as serious as cancel culture. Leave room for apologies, for full truths. Keep communication open. And don't be so quick to ruin people's lives. </div>

Although I did play as a simple northerner, Charisma, before coming to this server. I thought it would be fun to give a quick synopsis of each character and pick out one or a few of the photos I've done that I think best match that character. So we will start with my very first roleplay character on TSB.<br />
<br />
Yasmina was my season one character. A Vendhyan by birth and high class courtesan, follower of the goddess Derketo, she came to the exiled lands to hide from the family and friends of a patron she had to kill. She took refuge amongst a secretive people in the jungle, working hard and staying in hiding. Eventually these people revealed their great secret to her, that they were Barbaroi, a beast people. That they could take the form of their beast and Yasmina was given this "gift." She took the form of a panther and the change made her more vicious, sweeping away the shyness and fear. She would go on to provide many children for the Barbaroi, to strengthen them and ensure two strong men she saw as great choices in fathers, warriors, bloodlines lived on. Through Barbaroi magic and her teachings from Derketo, she provided her very first litter to these men and her people. Two wolves from Beowulf, two lions from Ethan Crownguard and two panther's whose true father was unknown. She then hid in the underdark of the jungle with the rest of her new people, family, going on to raise more children.<br />

Onto season two. This time I would play Kassandra Desmodus. As far as the Exiled Lands were concerned she was a noble woman, a countess who had returned to her husband's ancestral land on the savannah. She was the head of the household along with her husband Abaddon. They had a handsome son named Azrael and lived with various cousins and friends who were seen as family. What no one knew was the Kassandra and Abaddon were actually vampires, over two thousand years old. They were gifted this immortality and their own special gifts by the goddess of life and death herself, Derketo. And so they were bonded for life as a couple. They had their son about 800 years before coming back to the Exiled Lands and had turned various people over the years that they deemed worthy of the gift. Both having their own special gifts, as did all their people. Kassandra's power as one of two original vampires, was that of a succubus. She fed on sexual energy and could call on it to overwhelm those around her. She was absolutely devoted to Abaddon, loved her son without question and had a fond spot for what she deemed "strays" and what others would call "lost causes." While her husband often frowned on the dealings and emotions of mere mortals, Kassandra couldn't help but reach out and feel for them.<br />

Next up, season three. Now I am Aurelia Cassius, a very young and naive Aquilonian girl (and my only blonde character thus far). She came to the Exiled Lands with her father and the rest of her people to build a new empire. The daughter of the head senator, raised by him and his good friend, a military man named Licinius, she never had a mother. Her mother had died giving birth to her and she led a very sheltered life as a noble girl who knew someday her duty would be to marry and be a good wife who provided her husband with many children. Upon coming to the Exiled Lands, she was courted by a few men, including Licinius who had become Emperor of her people, now called the Vasconian Empire. But tragedy struck her left and right. The assassination of their high priestess, the murder of a special soldier who loved her, the unexpected death of her father and eventually her abandonment after the Empire's war and victory over the north. Her city was dead after the war (it was server burnout, but I needed a reason that made sense to her in character since I was still playing). She eventually received word from a man named Maritus, a former praefectus for the Empire (high ranking soldier). He had moved to the north and offered an open door to her if she needed it. They would eventually leave the Exiled Lands to return to Aquilonia, be married and their first son they named Commodus, after the soldier who loved her and fought alongside Maritus.<br />

Onto season four, where I played two characters. First was Davina Kalderash who some of you have read about in these two previous blog posts. She was a Zamorian midwife and healer who headed down a path of evil because of the gladiators/bandits she helped to free and care for. Eventually her leader when she was with the Jackals forced the leader of the nearby trade city to kill Ludwik, a man she cared for and she left the Jackals to start down a road to redemption which was not easy. For every step of progress made, she was hindered by the "queen" of Elysian who would not accept her apology or acts of goodness. With her magic back, she was able to resurrect Ludwik but he was not the same. He had experienced torture and would not let her heal his soul and mind. There was a 1500 gold bar bounty on her head from the "queen" of Elysian. Davina sought to speak with Ludwik to find closure. He betrayed her, chased her into her home and knocked her out, kidnapping her. When she awoke, she was inside the keep of Elysian. She knew she would be tortured and killed but still had her medical bag on her. From inside the bag she retrieved a vile of poisonous acid from The Dregs, drank it and dissolved into a pile of ash. Davina Kalderash was finally dead after many sorrows and hardships.<br />

Once Davina died, I was unsure what to do with the rest of my season. There was still about a week and a half left to play and I was really enjoying playing Davina, being a healer. And I was having a lot of fun using her accent (this server uses voice roleplay and I've come to prefer it over text). So I rerolled into someone similar but very different, by the name of Kezia. She is also Zamorian but grew up in The Maul, the underground of the City of Thieves where she became a runner, a thief, a con artist and assassin. She was caught by Aquilonian forces and forced to serve as a healer for them for her crimes. She became friendly with Khari and Cain while they visited and they helped her to get her freedom back. Kezia was also a chovihani with very different healing and was never revered by her people, but cast out since she was also an empath. So when Davina died, Khari and Cain called her to the Exiled Lands to be their new healer. She aided the people of the Shattered Basin in their war against the Elysian's for bringing about the death of so many. And was instrumental in getting the ashes of Davina back so she could be laid to rest.<br />

Finally we come to my latest character, Zaara. I've kept her character backstory secret almost. Only one person knows her complete story and very few know her actual history. She's been the most difficult to play for me thus far, for reasons I'm not going to get into. She's another Vendhyan, the oldest daughter of influential nobles. Raised under Derketo but forced into an arranged marriage with a Stygian Setite at a young age, Zaara seemed lovely and friendly. After the murder of her husband she was forced to come to the Exiled Lands where she spent two years alone before being taken in by a clan called the Fangs of Set, the threat of the undead in the lands too great to live on one's own anymore. When the season ends hopefully I will do a better write up for her so everyone can understand who she really was better. At the moment she is recovering from a blood infection after fighting in a great battle and assisting the pirates of the land in another. I did a character development post for that <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s9VbEMKdGL6WXdZectMSeR6xAXuymFnq20u0qUfb2js/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>.<br />

Each season on the server runs about 4-5 weeks depending on story arcs and server population. So this season is just about done, the giant overreaching arcs of the season have basically wrapped up and I'm actually onto my second character named Kezia. Season 5 is almost here and I already have most of a write up for my newest character, Zaara. But even though this season is basically over, I know that some of you were interested in the story of Davina.<br />
<br />
As Davina was now a Jackal, she was considered vicious and cruel. Mostly she was just bitchy, brutally honest and loud. Sometimes violent. The group was made up of some very nasty men, these gladiators she had cared for, sailed with and eventually brought about helping to free. The group consisted of six of them, including herself. They were led by Alaric, a Zingarian street rat who rose up to become the champion of the gladiators and was quite psychotic and scary. There was Suleiman, a shemite archer who was broken by torture and no longer quite right in the head but saw Davina as someone to be trusted and a friend, a sister of sorts. Two Darfari brothers, Chango and Boaz, who believed in the strong ruling over the weak, taking the weak as slaves or even "wives." Finally there was the newest man to the group, a Nordheimer named Wulfrik whose childhood was snatched away from him by Aquilonian invaders and who became an excellent fighter underneath all the other gladiators. One might feel that Davina didn't quite fit in with this group. But she was tired of being a slave, being abused, being hurt. So she fell in with these men and used her knowledge of medicine to make a drug for them, a combination of crimson lotus powder, which imbued the user with great strength and an ancient Zamorian drug that calmed a busy mind. A potent steroid with a mellow high. Davina turning towards the Jackals meant she lost her chovihani healing powers, her magic, so she was limited to her drugs and medical knowledge from her time as a combat medic.<br />
<br />

<br />
It would seem that Davina did not quite fit in with these men. While she did meet violence with violence, she wasn't crazy. Her mood was affected by whoever was around her. The presence of Alaric made her more vicious and cruel, while Suleiman made her a leader and controller, tugging on his leash to keep his crazy in check. Around Boaz and Chango she was about the same, bitchy and loud. But around Wulfrik she was almost calm and more peaceful, unless he was threatened. They had struck up a very close friendship quite early, speaking on their personal lives, swapping stories. Wulfrik had no understanding of women and sought to learn more through Davina. Him being taken from his village at such a young age had denied him so much and he was never able to experience the childhood he should have.<br />
<br />
In her alone time, Davina could often be seen reading a worn old note that she kept on herself at all times. Wulfrik confronted her about this note and it led to one of their deep talks. She revealed the note was from her now dead fiance Niklaus. A love letter she kept on her at all times that brought sadness and a smile to her face in remembrance of what she had. Wulfrik told her she should smile more, that he would always be there to protect her now and they became even closer. She told him of the one other thing she kept on her at all times, pulling out a leather pouch and emptying the contents into her hand. Out fell two pink baby booties, with the name "Katarina" stitched along the soles. She told Wulfrik that she had made them for her sisters baby, but now that they were both gone, she carried them around as a somber reminder of what she had lost. Wulfrik seemed interested in her, as more than just a friend. But Davina was afraid of such things, no longer willing to put her heart out there for anyone. She couldn't understand why he would be interested and felt that he was naive in his affections. So she kept him close as a friend but still at arms length as someone to deeply care for.<br />
<br />
Who knew if it was a cruel twist of fate that where the Jackals had begun to set up their base, a group of Natives were setting up some kind of trading town below them. As the architecture began to go up which was clearly Aquilonian, the disgust from the Jackals grew and it led to Wulfrik confronting them with Davina at his side. He asked if they were Aquilonian to which a woman said she wasn't going to answer such a question for a dirty Outlander. And so Davina was set off. She confronted the town herself this time telling them (in her not so nice way) that they could answer a simple question that Wulfrik had asked. The one woman ignored her while another another threatened to "skull drag" her and pummel her face in. Davina told her she would like to see her try. The woman then threatened to make her their slave and offered her putrid meat as a petty insult. Done with the silly threats of a coward who couldn't back up their words with action, Davina pulled her weapon and knocked the woman out, slowly walking away after. And so Davina was the Jackal to draw first blood. You don't insult and threaten Davina and think to get away from it, unharmed.<br />
<br />
The tensions of the Jackals being so close to a group of Aquilonians mounted. There was constant fighting as the Jackals demanded taxes and offerings while the Aquilonians were a constant nuisance, trying to sneak into the base while it was under renovations and insulting all the Jackals, which was not exactly wise. Davina herself took on three of them in the base, knocking out two and chasing the third back to town with their tail between their legs. And the fighting would only continue. It was almost constant at this point and the Aquilonians were quite tired of losing. They were upset with this Jackal presence so close and that there was nothing they could really do about it. It seemed that the Aquilonians were having their own internal problems, amongst themselves and other Natives of the area. Wulfrik and Davina often looked on from afar, shaking their head as they fought amongst themselves, while they should really be dealing with the bigger threat that was the Jackals.<br />
<br />
At some point a Native by the name of Ragna sought out Davina and Wulfrik, believing they were the two who would be easiest to talk to about a peace or at least a ceasefire between the two clans. The two agreed to come and speak with the leader of these Aquilonians, a woman by the name of Celeste. But talks were to never happen and Celeste walked away. At this point Davina saw that Celeste's brother, a man named Ludwik, might be a better person to talk to. She believed that talking to people brought knowledge and understanding, especially when she was calm enough. And a part of her was tired of the bloodshed. She had even healed a Native when a woman by the name of Thea passed through the area, asking anyone if they could make a potent healing potion made from the Golden Lotus. Her clanmate Khora had been poisoned and Davina felt that poison was a coward's weapon and felt obligated to jump in. She grabbed the potion and her medical bag and made her way to this man where she took the time to pull the poison from his body as best she could and save him from death. This moment was probably a turning point for Davina, a point where she did not see the Jackals as having to rule over the weak, but that sometimes people just needed a little extra help.Charismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13903996936766388401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241343610087915944.post-76539449424434847292018-09-17T12:18:00.001-04:002018-09-17T12:18:42.911-04:00Davina KalderashIt has been some time since I have posted on this blog. For five years I used this platform to show off various Second Life fashions, travel locations and home decor. But about a year ago I left Second Life behind. In the past few months I have returned to a game I never thought I'd play again and rediscovered an old love, roleplay. The game is Conan Exiles, a survival based game and so far I have been playing on The Searing Blade server for 4 seasons. Each season has a time lapse, a brand new slate and the chance to create new characters and stories. I thought that using this platform would be good to share those stories. We are currently in season 4 and while I do have 3 other characters to speak on, I will first talk about my current character, Davina Kalderash.<br />
<br />
Davina Kalderash was of Zamorian birth, raised in a small village and surrounded by many siblings including a twin sister named Elena. Davina was not like most women. She felt that her place was not as a mother or homemaker, so she found her talent in midwifery. Soon she became a chovihani, a revered healer among her people. At first all she could think of was her work. She did not desire a man or children of her own. But a handsome man in the village named Niklaus took notice of her and began to spend time with her. She thought nothing of it. They were intimate and friendly, both getting the pleasure and companionship they needed without any expectations. Davina was blind to the care Niklaus had for her and so when he asked to meet with her family, to speak with them, she was curious and confused. He stood before them all and asked for her hand in marriage. No one was as surprised as Davina, but she happily said yes. And yet her happiness and a life with a husband would never come.<br />
<br />
War came to Zamora, brought by thousands of Aquilonian's seeking to conquer the land and to spread their so called "virtue" through the word of their god, Mitra. Every man and woman who could was asked to fight in this war. And since no one was very concerned with having babies, Davina put her work into healing, taking care of the wounded on the battlefield. While she was busy healing the injured, Niklaus was off fighting, trying to push back the Aquilonian forces. But they were too strong. And one day in the medical tent, a runner was sent to Davina telling her to come as quickly as possible. She followed the runner back only to be met with a ghastly sight. Niklaus was laying on a cot, pale and wounded. A sword had been struck through his gut, his intestines spilled out of him like many worms. The smell was rancid as they clearly had been perforated and infection had set in. She stood in horror to see the man she loved in such a state, dying. All she could do was give him medicine to dull the pain and sit with him, holding his hand while he died. She sat with him for hours before he finally passed on. She did not shed a single tear but bottled up her sorrow, letting it stew to create a great anger within.<br />
<br />
It became quite clear the the Aquilonian's were too strong and outnumbered the Zamorian's 100 to 1. Davina threw herself back into her medical work on the battlefield. One day a force of Aquilonian's came to the medical tents, killed of all the wounded and took all the medics as prisoners. They had heard of Davina's skill in healing and the leader of the army, a legatus, demanded she save the life of his favorite praefectus. The man told her that if she did this, he would grant her freedom once more. While she worked to heal this man, a message was brought to her about her twin sister Elena. She was denied this message until she finished healing the praefectus. The note said her sister was in labor and that she was needed. She ran as fast as she could only to burst in on the Aquilonian medics surrounding the body of her sister. Elena was already gone and the baby was as well, wrapped up on the bed beside her. There was blood everywhere, a sloppy crimson paint that drenched everything. Apparently the baby had become stuck in the birth canal and the only thing the medicus could think to do was to cut the baby out. Davina fell to her knees in horror, sobbing, landing in a puddle of the blood, still warm. As a midwife, there were thirty different things she could have done to help a baby who was stuck. She knew that you only cut the baby out when the mother was already dead. And by the amount of blood that covered everything, it was clear that her sister was cut open while she was still alive.<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before the legatus came rushing in for her. He beat her, told her he had lied about granting her her freedom and said he was selling her to a ludis, a school that trained gladiators. She was to be their new entertainment, a whore. When she arrived at the ludis, she spoke with the owner, a lanista. She told him how she had much better skills, skills in healing and concocting drugs. That she could tend to the wounds of the gladiators and drug them, keeping them doped up when they weren't fighting. The lanista agreed and she was put to work as their healer and gained the respect of all the men.<br />
<br />
After some time, the lanista needed to move the gladiators and her to another province, to be set up near a new gladiatorial arena. They were all put on a ship for faster travel and Davina was in charge of keeping the men sedated during the journey. She understood the dangers of the open ocean, that storms and pirates were a constant danger. So she "forgot" to dose the men, hoping that they would have a fighting chance should something bad happen. The men became riled up, dangerous, bold.They mutinied, killing all the soldiers and the captain on the ship. With careful navigation, they turned the ship off coures and made their way to the Exiled Lands. It was said that this land had many great resources and the champion gladiator, a man named Alaric Van Der Veen and now their self proclaimed leader, felt this place would be as good as any to set up. And so they came to the Exiled Lands, seven of them in total. These were strong and dangerous men who believed that the weak needed to be used, to be crushed. And so they named themselves The Jackals and made their new home in the abandoned ruins of a place called New Gunderland. Davina was not sure what the land and men held in store for her, but she was loyal to them. She cared for them still, as a healer, a friend and an equal. She would find a new life in this land and never be a prisoner again.<br />

So I have not been able to blog at all recently. If you're on my Plurk then you've seen me talk about my current work situation which is very frustrating and time consuming. I'm a nanny for a baby in a dental office and most days I work 11 hours. I'm not respected or treated like the other employees in the office and it's made me very unhappy. Pair that with being tired all the time, struggling with anxiety and tension headaches, and I'm kind of at a loss. I have felt very disconnected from SL the past few months because of all this and when I do end up logging into SL, I can't really find anything I want to do. I am not a platform dweller beyond setting up a picture for a blog. I like to be social and have different things to do but lately nothing seems appealing. If I go out or try to be social, things end up awkward and so I therefore feel like I don't belong in SL. I'm trying to figure out my place again and hopefully my schedule allows for me to find the joy I once did in SL. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and wait for everything to work itself out in the end. </div>

I've had so much on my plate with work, family and other personal things that I needed to prioritize those things over SL. I also was just super tired from all the working I'd been doing and when I did have down time, I was relaxing in other ways. Needless to say I'm super late to party in regards to the Blush event which only goes until tomorrow. I really loved this event and its mixture of sassy and sweet. I'm featuring quite a few store with a dress from BOOM, hair from Oleander, tears from Cubic Cherry, corsages from Apple May Designs and shoes from Fri.day. Head over before it ends and hopefully I can get back to regular blogging..<br />

Cherish the little moments and don't take a single one for granted. Snuggle up on the couch with a book or your favorite person, play a game, have an amazing cup of coffee, give love to your furbaby. Small things that in the long run, make all the difference.<br />

I feel like summer is my most insane time of year. There's no time to relax and slow down. It drives me a little bit crazy. But at least I can look cute while soaking in the summer sun. I'm wearing a new bikini from Blueberry at Collabor88. You can change the color of the metal, beads and main part of the bikini. I paired it with a lovely tattoo from White Widow called Loving in pink. To finish off the look I'm wearing a new hair from Magika called Talk Like That.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm kneeling on a great new piece from Cheeky Pea called the Kolymbia Cabana available at Fameshed. The cushions are color change and you can choose from six colors. You can change each cushion individually or make them all the same color like I did. Also if you haven't noticed, I have a furry friend in the photo with me. This Yorkie is from Jian at The Epiphany and one of the many prizes you can win. I love pets in SL and Jian is the go to place for them. Stay tuned for more posts and as always, happy shopping. </div>

I did not have time to sit down and blog or to really be in SL for very long but I'm trying to play catch up now. Hair Fair has been going on for a while now and actually ends tomorrow, so I did miss that. One of my favorite designers when it comes to Hair Fair is Exile and I'm wearing one of their new hairs for the event called Bad At Love. You can read more about Hair Fair <a href="https://hairfair.wordpress.com/2017/06/30/hair-fair-2017-sims-slurls/">here</a>, including a map, SLurls and a gallery of the hairs available. I'm wearing it with a mainstore release from Vinyl. This beautiful gown comes in a variety of colors and ombres and has an option to wear with or without a belt. Let's do a little bit of catching up about events below.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Moss & Mink is a new to me store and when I saw their Dreamy Genie gacha set at Lootbox I knew I had to have it. Not only does it have the wonderful decor pieces shown but you can also win various colored genie outfits. Of course the song by Christina Aguilera came to mind right away when doing this photo, "Genie in a Bottle." I actually had a whole dance routine to the song in sixth grade and didn't realize until later how provocative the song is. I was having a hard time coming up with a pose that I thought would work so I asked my fellow blogger friend and pose store owner, <a href="https://valenavacano.wordpress.com/">Valena Vacano</a> for help. She owns the pose store Double Take and I've known her since right after I first started blogging in 2012. The poses are custom by her so I feel pretty lucky. Also pictured on me is a gorgeous hair from Runaway. This particular hair called Crystal is adorable. Although you can't see it in the picture, the hair is held back by a moon clasp with hanging crystals. The moon and crystals are color change.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really enjoyed Lootbox. It's amazing how many events have popped up since I've been gone and this one is a definite must shop. What makes this gacha event unique is that instead of winning rares, you can win the rare lootbox which can have a variety of items inside such as rares, fatpacks and exclusives. As always, happy shopping!</div>

<i>It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>With your feet up on the dashboard now</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Singing along with the radio, it’s such a beautiful sound</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are quite a few events with a vintage/retro theme going on now including The Liaison Collaborative, Collabor88 and of course Vintage Fair. Today is the last day of Vintage Fair so make sure you stop by. And tell me, what's better than a vintage summer look? My bathing suit is from Dead Dollz at The Liaison Collaborative. It comes in 8 color options, four solid and four with polka dots. I love the cut and how the two bows tie in the back. I added the Arabella hair from Doe, which has a cute bow on the ponytail. You can change the bow to various colors or remove it completely. Also pictured is another awesome tattoo from White Widow. This one is called MatchPoint and has a nautical theme to go with my ocean ready outfit. Do you think my hair will stay this great if I get hit by a wave? I hope so! As always, happy shopping!</div>

I hope everyone had a lovely Wednesday. Today I'm showing off another lovely item from Vintage Fair. Today it's the Vivien Dress from Dead Dollz and it's perfect for that glamorous retro look. It comes in a variety of colors, but of course I'm wearing it in red and has buttons on the back that can change color with a simple HUD. I paired it with some newish jewelry from Amala, the Cara necklace and earrings. And finally I'm wearing it with the Runaway Cinderella hair, probably my favorite find on the grid since I've been back. I'm a huge fan of the live action remake and even did a blog about my love for the movie. This hair is just perfect and the fact that it has tiny glowing lights is an amazing bonus. Happy shopping!</div>

There's nothing better than when you visualize a picture in your head and it comes out exactly as you imagined. Today I'm showing off a few new items. My skirt is from le fil casse at a new event called Somber, which brings you everything dark and gloomy. I really loved the lacing detail and the bow on this piece. Second I'm wearing a new tattoo from White Widow available at We Love Roleplay. I've always loved White Widow tattoos and I felt that it went nicely with the Apple May Designs bra top from the Hadley set. Finally I'm wearing the Truth VIP gift for June. The hair is called Ambriel and the stylist HUD lets you wear it as a bun or a ponytail, with the hair tucked or untucked from the ear on the right side. As always, happy shopping!</div>

<i>Once upon a time, in the hidden heart of France, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>a handsome young prince lived in a beautiful castle.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Although he had everything his heart desired </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>the prince was selfish and unkind.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He taxed the village to fill his castle with the most beautiful objects</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and his parties with the most beautiful people.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Then one night, an unexpected intruder arrived at the castle,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>seeking shelter from the bitter storm.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>As a gift she offered the prince a single rose.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince turned the woman away.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>for beauty is found within.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When he dismissed her again, the old woman's outward appearance melted away</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to reveal a beautiful enchantress. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The prince begged for forgiveness but it was too late,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>for she had seen that there was no love in his heart.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>As days bled into years, the prince and his servant</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>were forgotten by the world.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>For the enchantress had erased all memory of them </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>from the minds of the people they loved.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But the rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>by the time the last petal fell, the spell would be broken. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>For who could ever learn to love a beast?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Just a quick post today since work has me crazed, but Vintage Fair 2017 from Pale Girl Productions opens on June 9th and I found some must have goodies for my inner retro gal. First is this lovely vintage dress from Kaithleen's and second is this hair with a ton of volume from Elikatira. Both can be found at Vintage Fair which runs from June 9th until the 25th. I'll link SLurls once the event is open. Happy shopping.<br />

Today I'm showing off a few things available at Whimsical, which opened on May 18th. I'm wearing an adorable dress from le fil casse. It comes in a variety of colors, each one having two versions (one with a belt and one without) and it also has materials. I just love the cut and the ruffles. I paired it with the new Doe hair Spring Breeze, also at Whimsical. It is a gacha and I just love how it gives a windblown look. I'm wearing the fit version but it also has an unrigged version and you can wear it with or without the bangs. I'm having a lot of fun being back in Second Life and taking photos again, it's been awesome. Happy shopping!<br />

Swimsuits, sunglasses and how crazy sexy my hair gets when exposed to the sea air are some of my favorite things. Today I'm showing off the new Blueberry swimsuit, out now at Collabor88. The suit comes in a vast variety of colors and even metallics and ombres in the fatpack. Along with the swimsuit I'm wearing a new Truth hair out at Uber. Truth has redone his textures and now includes fun "style HUDs" in with his hairs so that you can change your hairstyle with the click of a HUD. I've decided to go even darker brown because of his new texture changes and I am very much in love. Last but not least, I am wearing Izzie's Body Beach Sand. This <a href="https://izzies.wordpress.com/2017/05/23/free-applier-updates/">applier along with quite a few others</a> have been updated for various mesh face/body pieces and you can get them free at the main store. Have a wonderful weekend!<br />

I'm super girly, it's not really a secret. I love pink and lace and ribbons and pearls. Pink will always be my favorite color. My outfit on the left is from a new to me event called Rewind. This round is all about the 80s, so I picked up this adorable top and skirt from {le fil casse}. The Molly Crop Tank and Molly Skirt come in a variety of colors so you can mix and match however you want. Also at Rewind is the adorable dressing room background. It's part of Astralia's Vintage Backgrounds gacha. There are 5 backgrounds to win in total and only one is rare. I'm really loving that a lot of designers are doing these, because they make doing photos super fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the right, I'm featuring items from a few different events. My bodysuit is from Dead Dollz at The Liaison Collaborative. I love the details in the texturing on the front and the butt ruffles in the back. It comes in a variety of colors, so you're sure to find something you love. My hair and shoes are also new at Collabor88. My hair is Exile's Drive and the shoes are Breathe's Roselyn's Heels. All in all, I know the photo is super girly but I really enjoyed doing it. Be sure to check out these events before their current round ends! </div>

Have a mentioned that it's great to be back and blogging again, but also very weird? It's like I'm stepping back in time in some ways. Even just opening Photoshop for the first time in over a year, I stared at my screen for my first picture and was like, what now? Anyways, I decided to feature some items in this picture from some of my favorite stores in Second Life. My outfit is from Blueberry, one of those stores that every girl should be visiting on a regular basis in SL. I'm wearing the Babe shorts and top, a relatively new mainstore release. I really love the variety of colors they both come in and how wonderful the shorts make my butt look. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I paired it with an amazing Truth hair called called Lisette. I love that it comes in two versions, one where the hair is over my shoulder on one side (pictured) and another where the hair is over the shoulders on both sides. Finally, I'm wearing a new collar from Cae, out now at ROMP. The Dina Collar comes in two versions, regular and OpenCollar. The cord, metal flower and gem in the middle all have various color change options, making it perfect to match with almost any outfit. I'm still trying out the new Bento heads and I have to decide on one that feels like me, which I hope will be soon. As always, happy shopping!</div>

It's been more than a year since I decided to stop blogging and at the time I didn't know how long it would be for or even if I would come back. Eventually I stopped logging into SL for the most part, as I found other interests and things to keep me busy during my down time. I became very involved in a popular MMORPG as a tank class (only one of two in the entire clan) and was a veteran officer for my clan/guild. Then I discovered Twitch.tv and got involved in quite a few channels as well as befriending streamers and viewers alike and even a moderator for a few of them. All and all it's been a very interesting SL break.<br />
<br />
To say the last 2 years have been hard would be an understatement. I don't think I realized how much having to leave the twins had affected me. But none of that compares to just the last six months. I was very ill, so I was in and out of the hospital a lot and the long winter didn't help. Needless to say I'm in a much better place now thanks to a lot of work and some amazing people. Oh and Cordelia, my cat. This fur baby, who doesn't act like a cat at all, has been with me every step of the way and knows exactly when I need her. She is very needy though and while I was editing this new photo, she unplugged my laptop no less than 10 times, nudged my mouse hand a lot while using liquify and laid herself right across my chest/clavicle area so I couldn't see at all.<br />

I'd like to give a special thanks to those who reached out during my time off: Lyrical Popstar and Krisyka Bellic for their amazing friendship and support, never wavering and always there even when I thought I didn't need them. Gustavo Fredrickson who has shown me what true love really means, helping put back the broken pieces and stayed in contact nearly every day. Lourdes Denimore and Sophia Harlow who made sure to check on me during the rare occasions I logged into Skype and who made sure I knew they were thinking of me. Skye Everidge for giving me a safe place in SL when I did log in, rescuing me from the terrors of public sandboxes. And Italia Munro whose bubbly personality always made me feel better while we gamed together on Steam as well as thoughtful texts that while I couldn't answer at the time, meant the world to me.<br />

At this point you may wonder, what did bring me back? I really had no intentions of it, at least not right now. But a close friend of almost three years discovered SL on his own about a week ago and when he said I should join, I explained that I had made my avatar in 2007 but hadn't been around much in the last year. Needless to say he was surprised, but as someone new to the game, he had a lot of questions. So I logged into the game to help him and seeing him experience SL for the first time helped give me the inspiration to make logging in a regular thing. I can't thank him enough for letting me see SL anew through his eyes and making each day magical again.</div>
<br />
I thought it was appropriate to do an updated Tinkerbell look, nothing like the <a href="http://pixeltinkerbell.blogspot.com/2012/03/tinkerbell-and-sl.html">first one</a> that started off my blogging adventure. Okay I've rambled on enough, but expect to see a lot more of me and my blog!<br />

A new round of Tres Chic opened yesterday and Dead Dollz is offering a lovely new skirt and blouse combo for the theme "urban chic." The outfit comes in four colors (pink, white, black and brown) with a sheer top and form fitting asymmetrical skirt. This outfit is fitted for the Maitreya Lara mesh body only. I paired it with a lovely new hair from Exile, available at the newest round of Collabor88. The hair comes in versions with and without flowers. The hair great for celebrating and showing off that spring has indeed arrived. </div>

I even missed my four year blog anniversary which was on March 4th. I can't believe that I've been doing this for 4 years now and I still love it. Sure I take breaks at times (who doesn't) but I really love taking pictures and showing off the amazing products that so many creators bring to SL. I'm always astounded by the insane amount of talented designers on the grid.<br />
<br />
Today I'm showing off a sexy Dead Dollz creation at The Chapter Four. The Malena dress is strapless with slash of opposing color at the bottom with a bit of sparkle. The dress comes in black, petroleum, pink, red, sky and white. This dress is fitted for the Maitreya Lara body only so keep that in mind when demoing. I'm also wearing new hair from Truth at Uber called Polilla and a necklace from Cae at FaMeshed. The Cae Finley necklace also comes with matching earrings (not pictured).<br />
<br />
I'm easing myself back into blogging as things get less hectic for me. Maybe I have four more years of blogging in me, only time will tell. As always, happy shopping!<br />

A new event hit the grid on February 18th called <a href="https://whimsicalevent.wordpress.com/">Whimsical</a>, brought to you by the coordinators behind The Epiphany and The Fantasy Collective. This unique shopping event brings designers together to offer their goods in one of the following categories: discounted, gacha and limited edition. In this post, I'm featuring some of the items in the discounted section.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My outfit is from Aisling called Nina. It comes in 10 different colors and is fitted to the Maitreya Lara and Slink Physique and Hourglass bodies. My hair is Truth and comes with an optional band and feather to accessorize with as well as a different piece of hair to wear on the chest to change the look a bit. The tattoo is from Things and is insanely detailed with a heart in the middle and full sleeves. Last but not least I'm posing on the newest release from Stockholm & Lima, The Lovers Lounge. The piece is gorgeous like all her work and is texture change on the cushion and trim. It comes in PG and Adult versions, but only the Adult version is discounted for the event. Be sure to check out the shopping guide <a href="https://whimsicalevent.wordpress.com/2016/02/19/whimsical-shopping-guide-february-2016/">here </a>and have fun!</div>
