Memories of Earth Day 2013
We spent Earth Day in the beautiful mountains and then came home and celebrated with our Second Life friends and Pre-Release!!! I found this poem while on a wooded trail and wanted to share it here. Hope you had a great Earth Day!

Earth Day
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That’s why we
Celebrate this day.
That’s why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.

Kneel Before Your Lady
Another fun filled day of fantasy and frolic courtesy of the Fantasy Faire! After a bit of shopping Gopu and I ventured to The Looking Glass and marveled at the extreme attention to detail the artists employed when designing every square inch of this beautiful sim. The day before we were able to rezz pose balls, but unfortunately that option was turned off today much to my dismay, so we ventured to Carnivale and put her ruins to good use.
The dress I am wearing by the muses is stunning, absolutely stunning. I actually happened upon it quite by accident as I originally purchased another dress by the muses that never arrived. The detailed textures and the fabrics are impeccable. Fingers crossed that the other dress arrives soon, I am dying to get it on now!
It wouldn’t be a Fantasy Faire day without F*cking Ninjas! This pose, For my Damsel, comes with the sword and was exclusively created for Fantasy Faire. The sword lays across your knight in shining armor’s shoulder as he kneels before his one true lady. *smitten*. Stay tuned as Gopu and I bring out the ninja magic for the next eight days. Currently Gopu wants to slay a Bambi in the next shoot…..shudders…. so there is no telling what is in store!
Conjure the Magic! Finish the Fight!
Images Dedicated to David. My Heart. My Smile. My Soul. Namaste.

Welcome to the Jungle
The 2013 Fantasy Faire has officially kicked off and there is no shortage of fantasy fashions, items, poses, accessories and landscapes on the grid today! This unbelievable effort of combined talents has given us not one, but 10 virtual showrooms to gather the coolest, most up-to-date fantasy creations we can get our mystical hands on… all the while supporting the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer!
This event really touches my heart. I lost my beautiful brother, David, to lung cancer. I cannot even begin to describe how this horrible disease changed my life, but I can tell you that I feel as though part of my soul was ripped out the day David died. So I am posting my Fantasy Faire images in honor of my brother David. My smile. My heart. And my soul. Namaste. They may not have been created by the most talented photographer in Second Life…. but they have been created with a love so strong and pure…. they could only send out waves of positive energy to those who need it most.
Conjure the Magic! Finish the Fight!
I am kicking off the event with one of the Feature Creators of Fantasy Faire, F*cking Ninjas! These mad girls have been burning the midnight oil for the last few weeks conjuring up exclusive poses for this event and I can tell you without hesitation they are phenomenal! The above pose, Welcome to the Jungle, comes with the spear prop and is just one of the many exclusive poses I plan to share this week.
So head over to Ravenshard, jump on the book shelves and check out their Ninja skills!
The Facial Piercings in the above image are from designer Pheobe. The piercings are available until Suday at Acid Lily Gallery for 50L!!! The detail on the piercings is incredible and the hud not only lets you choose metals and gems but also allows you to add shadows for a more realistic look! They rock!

Mermaid Diaries: Chapter One (Con’t)
Duchess laid motionless on the edge of the surf following a brutal marathon swim that ended at the land of Loki. She felt a presence but was too washed-out to care and again the world went dark.
Gentle arms encircled her body and she was slowly lifted out of the water. A soothing voice entranced her and she awoke in the arms of her hero.
