Ice Cream

Ice Cream

I just want ice cream. A nice giant 3 scoop ice cream! That’s it. That is how I am feeling today. I’m a little low, a little not low, a lot of feeling in between. I am just……. CREDITS Pipa Boho outfit from Saschas Designs Reema EVOX head from CATWA Nami hair from Exile Kait skin [...]

Pose fail

Pose fail

There I was at Luanes World looking like a model, the sun blazing just right, and me (well, my avatar) styled to perfection and perched effortlessly on top of a car stacked with surfboards. Or so I thought. This was meant to be the shot. I had the whole setup the golden backdrop, the windlight [...]

The Plants

The Plants

It’s my day off. A rare, beautiful, responsibility free day. I went to the cinema earlier to watch the Smurfs. Don’t judge. It was with my grandson and daughter. My only plan this evening? To give my balcony plants the TLC they deserve. A little pruning, a little chatting and begging of them to sprout [...]

Digital Diva, Real-Life Grandma

Digital Diva, Real-Life Grandma

By day, I’m a 59 year old woman with dodgy knees and a strong relationship with tea and biscuits. The odd choc bar too. By night? I’m a virtual fashion icon. Hair always perfect. Outfit always slaying. Waist? Snatched. In Second Life, I’m everything my real life joints won’t let me be. I strut digital [...]

The Tale of the Lone Smooth Pit

The Tale of the Lone Smooth Pit

One pit shaved, the other not But guess which one’s my beauty spot? I raise it high, I own the scene, That hairless queen, so fresh, so clean. The crowd is shook, the flashbulbs pop, My smooth side’s working non-stop. Who needs two when one’s a hit? I strike, I smirk at my just one [...]

When life hands you lemons. Grab the bananas. Today, I went to the doctor.I expected a glance, maybe a cream, maybe a “nothing to worry about.” Instead, I was placed on the two-week urgent referral pathway for skin cancer.The NHS track to rule out the serious stuff. Even though I know it’s precautionary, hearing those [...]

Can the mirror lie?

Can the mirror lie?

Ever notice how the mirror doesn’t always tell the truth? You stand there, staring at your reflection, picking apart every little thing? Too much of this, not enough of that. But what you see isn’t always what others see. While you focus on flaws, someone else might see warmth in your eyes, a smile that [...]

Monday’s

Monday’s

This was me last Friday at the end of my work day. This is me now, wishing tomorrow wasn’t Monday. Monday lands like a sequel no one approved,Caffeine’s betrayed me, my groove un-grooved.I lounge like couture in my nightiesloose embrace,While emails attack with unspeakable pace. “Just circling back!” the passive-aggressive war cry,Each ping a reminder [...]

Waters hush

Waters hush

Come drift with me, where sunlight spills low,molasses-light on limbs aglow. The water hushes, thick and wide,a velvet cradle, a heated tide. Toes tease on lazy blue,fingers paint fire the sky once knew. Each swell a secret, soft and tight,each breath a bloom in golden light. No rules. No rush. Just gleam and hush,a sly [...]

Too hot to be at a computer

Too hot to be at a computer

I’m too hot to think. So I’ll just sit by the water and read a good book. If you are in the uk on your computer right now, why? Seriously why. CREDITS Honey outfit from Saschas Designs Reema EVOX head from CATWA ES0408 hair from Wings Kait skin from the Skinnery in Sorbet Luna body skin [...]
