Argrace – What a Beautiful Mess!

She’s All That

Light it up
We’ve been a little more than just friends,
And in most cases that’s just where it ends
But I took the time to stoke up your flame
Can I get a witness to back up my claim?
Now I’m standing so close to your fire
If I say that I quit ya, you can call me a liar!
Now we’ve been a little more than just friends
And where we go now I guess that depends
If I get myself caught up in your scene-
Black hair, black coffee, and hard nicotine
I can’t sleep
I can’t eat
Need you to hold my hand before I can cross the street!
Oh yeah, she’s all that
Oh yeah, she’s all that
Sugar, you’re my comfort, whoa yeah, makes me me
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah she’s all that
I’m her silver dollar, she’s my slot machine
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah why not? Come on she’s my nicotine
That’s right
We’ve been a little more than just friends
Where we go now I guess that depends
Uh huh
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah she’s all that
Sugar, you’re my comfort, whoa yeah, makes me me
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah she’s all that
She’s my V8 motor, I’m her gasoline
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah she’s all that
I’m her silver dollar she’s my slot machine
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah she’s all that
Oh yeah why not? Come on she’s my nicotine
Nicotine
My nicotine
Oh yeah she’s
Yes she’s
Yes she is!

I find picking a pose for a photo one of the hardest parts because I always seem to ask myself ‘why’! It’s like I need Liz to have a reason to be standing the way she is, she can’t just be randomly killing time in a certain position. I have no idea why I can’t just use a pose for what it is, a moment in time that needs no explanation. So, in this instance I’m standing knee deep in water, and looking rather startled at the camera. It’s as simple as that……there’s nothing going on around me and I don’t have to have a reason for being here……I’m just busy being me! It’s a full time job, some days! 😀

The Gothic Garage Sale is open for business and [QE] Designs has the ‘Adelaide Bikini, siren’, exclusive to the event. The HUD contains 6 mermaid-like textures with gorgeous iridescent colour combinations and it’s rigged for the Maitreya, SLink(H/P), and Belleza(Freya/Isis) mesh bodies. The Gothic Garage Sale runs until August 8.

The ‘MAYU’ hair is from Argrace.

As always, I’m wearing the ‘Maddie’ skin in ‘honey’ tone from The Skinnery on the ‘Lilo’ bento head from Catwa and the ‘Lara’ mesh body from Maitreya.

This pose is from the ‘Detached’ set of poses from FOXCITY.

I made a return visit to Serendipitous Sands for this shot.

Dream Catch Me

Every time I close my eyes
It’s you and I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea and I know now

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

You do so much
That you don’t know
It’s true
And I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea
And I know now

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

See you as a mountain
A fountain of God
See you as as a descant soul
In the setting sun
You as the sound
Just as silent as none
I’m young

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

It’s Monthly Midnight Madness time!! I know I’m posting this and the madness is already almost half over, but there’s still tons of time to get in on the action! The midnight item is still live in all the participating stores and Elle Boutique has the ‘Nymph Necklace’ exclusive to this event! Look at me….isn’t it gorgeous? The gift necklace has a combination colour of pink and mint, but there’s an add on HUD available for just a few lindens to make that into a full set. If you wait around until Noon SLT today, you can grab the ‘Nymph Earrings’, which match the necklace and also have an add on HUD available. If you miss out on the free gifts today, you’re not out of luck……starting tonight at midnight you can grab the free gifts for just a few lindens for a last chance at getting this weekend’s deals, plus the add on HUDs are still there for purchase. Oh……wait……..if you’re an Elle Boutique group member……..the gifts are free for you on Sunday…….yea…so join the group…it’s free, you know….and grab those gifts!

I knew back when the ‘Daisy Top’ was released by *Just BECAUSE*, it was going to be my go-to top for the summer, and it’s proven to be one of my absolute favourites!

I’m out on that look out on the water at Oboeru for this picture and my ‘HARUKA’ hair from Argrace is a little unruly.

As always I’m wearing the ‘Maddie’ skin in ‘honey’ tone from The Skinnery on the ‘Lilo’ bento head from Catwa and the ‘Lara’ mesh body from Maitreya. I’ve added one of the options from the ‘Satin Eyeshadows’ pack from Buzzeri.

I’m using pose 1 from the ‘Amy’ set of poses from Imitation.

Only Time

Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time.
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time.

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies?
Only time.
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies?
Only time.

Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart,
Night keeps all your heart?

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time.
And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time.

Who knows? Only time.
Who knows? Only time.

‘Only Time‘ ~Enya~

I don’t know where I’m going, but I do know where I’ve been. I know what hasn’t worked for me in the past, but I can’t say with complete certainty that I won’t end up there again. I know where I’d like to be in future, but regardless of plans I make, I’m aware that my life may not happen that way! And that’s OK, because of all the planning I’ve done in the past to get where I thought I’d wanted to be, I instead wound where I’m supposed to be. And that’s more important than getting only what I desire at the time. Without knowing the big picture, how can I know that what I want is what I need?

Does that paragraph make any sense to anyone? If not, just carry on and don’t give it another thought. 😀

I thought I could live without the ‘Rie’ wet top and panties from Blueberry, but I was mistaken. On a spur of the moment shopping trip I couldn’t resist them……and here I am…in all my wet T-shirt glory. You don’t have to bare all to wear this though, the top has a bra to wear underneath it with an on/off toggle or you can go all dry with the set if you prefer. The panties are included with the top fatpack or it can be purchased separately as a mini pack.

The ‘CHIZURA’ hair is from Argrace, this is from the blondes pack.

The ‘Maddie’ skin in ‘honey’ tone is from The Skinnery on the ‘Lilo’ bento head from Catwa and the ‘Lara’ mesh body from Maitreya. I’ve not added any make up to the skin here, for the clean fresh look!

The pose is from the ‘Wet Sand A’ set of poses from Body Language Sweet Lovely Cute, or Bodylanguage SLC, if you will.

The Hockey Game

Hello out there, we’re on the air, it’s ‘Hockey Night’ tonight.
Tension grows, the wistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice.
The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane.
Someone roars, “Bobby Scores!”, at the good ol’ Hockey Game.

:: CHORUS ::
OH! The good ol’ Hockey game, is the best game you can name.
And the best game you can name, is the good ol’ Hockey game.

Second Period.

Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind.
But they grab the puck, and go bursting up, and they’re down across the line.
They storm the crease, like bumble bees, they travel like a burning flame.
We see them slide, the puck inside, it’s a 1-1 hockey game.

(Chorus)

Third Period. Last game of the playoff too!

Oh take me where, the hockey players, face off down the rink.
And the Stanley Cup, is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink.
Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and the one gigantic scream.
“The puck is in! The home team wins!”, the good ol’ hockey game.

‘The Hockey Song‘ ~Stompin’ Tom Connors~

*muttering to myself* I got his favourite pizza I hope he appreciates this! And beer….gotta have beer with the pizza. I just hope he doesn’t go on and on like he usually does. Gawd I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it….Sidney this and Evgeni that! And if he says ‘threepeat’ one more time I’m going to lose it, seriously! Robert’s a great guy, I can’t deny that, it’s not his fault he lives where he does and has bad taste in hockey teams. Penguins…….who in hell is afraid of a Penguin! The only thing worse than a penguin would be a flamingo….yea…that’s what they should be….the Pittsburgh Flamingos..it has a ring to it! Then I could cover his lawn with plastic ones. I wonder if I can find plastic penguins…I doubt it. Who would want penguins on their lawn, but then again who wants plastic flamingos on their lawn, for that matter? Oh man, I hope the Caps can do it this time, I sure don’t need the same thing happening today as last game. Him standing over me with his finger just about jammed up my nose, yelling ‘In your face..!’ I never knew he was that intense….

Ok, so that’s complete and utter fiction! Oh, Robert Galland is a Pittsburgh Penguin fan, that’s true…but the rest is just silly! I’m on my way to his new and incredible house, the ‘Cape Hatteras’ by Galland Homes. I love it’s open floor plan with lots of windows but still wall space for that big screen TV or art work you may collect. The upstairs has a master suite and second bedroom plus a room for a nursery, bathroom or office! It’s available now at the ULTRA Event! For more pictures and information you can visit the Galland Homes Facebook page or see them in-world at the Main Store.

And as for the decorating? The ‘Summer Garden Planters’ are from {what next}. The ‘Gillian Schoolhouse Bench’ is from Trompe Loeil. The two pair of shoes are from the ‘Stockholm Bedroom’ set from ~BAZAR~.

My outfit consists of the ‘Lila Rolled Cuff Jeans’ from Blueberry and the ‘Basic Tank Top’ from Tres Blah along with the ‘Arianna Sneakers’ from REIGN.. My hair is ‘AKEMI’ by Argrace. My poses are a combination of 2 poses from Le Poppycock, with the most important one being from the ‘A Helping Hand’ set of poses, which made it so easy to carry the pizza.

Perfect

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that’s alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss “No way, it’s all good”, it didn’t slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I’m still around

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than f*ckin’ perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re f*ckin’ perfect to me!

You’re so mean, when you talk, about yourself you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look how big, you’ll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It’s enough! I’ve done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I’ve seen you do the same

Oh, pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than f*ckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re f*ckin’ perfect to me

The whole world’s scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool and limed and we try, try, try
But we try too hard and its a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics ’cause there everywhere
They don’t like my jeans, they don’t get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that?
Why do I do that?

Oh, pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than f*ckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re f*ckin’ perfect to me!
You’re perfect, you’re perfect

‘Perfect‘ ~Pink~

Just a song today, it’s another cold gloomy day here, where the snow won’t melt and we’re a little over 2 months to the longest day! Then they start getting shorter again! That thought alone makes me want to run away, very far away!

Today I’m out on the beach at Salt Water, the seagulls are dipping and diving above me and the warm ocean breeze feels so nice! I’m looking pretty hot too, all because of the ‘Britta Kini’ from [QE] Designs, which is available now at the Black Fair. It’s a strappy little number that shows off curves and accentuates the positive! It’s fitted for the Maitreya, SLink, and Belleza(Isis & Freya) mesh bodies and the HUD contains 6 vibrant colour combinations. The Black Fair runs until April 20.

So, about this tattoo! There’s a few things in this life that I have a ‘thing’ for, and one of them is turtles and tortoises, well I guess that’s 2! 😀 There’s a story that goes along with why I’m enthralled by them that I won’t get into at this time, but I’ll just add that I do have a turtle tattoo in real life! So, when Sandowl released this beauty of a sea turtle tattoo in the Wild Roots main store I was more than thrilled! This is so gorgeous, with intricate detailing, perfect placement and comes in a black and white(seen here) and a colour version. The colours being soft muted tones perfect for summer! It’s compatible with the big 3 mesh bodies plus anything Omega driven along with a tattoo layer for classic avatars.

The ‘HARUKA’ hair is from Argrace.

As always, I’m wearing the ‘Raine Gen2’ skin in tone 210 from Avada, it’s available now at The Makeover Room. It’s worn on the ‘Lilo’ bento head from Catwa and the ‘Lara’ mesh body from Maitreya.

The pose is pose 29 from .MILA..
