The Shadow of Your Smile

http://The Shadow of Your Smile

The sweep of time always feels more noticeable towards the end of the year, doesn’t it?  Summer ends, and suddenly the days are so much shorter (not to mention colder!) and you can just feel time rushing by as the holidays press ever closer.  On top of that, I find that memory stirs a lot more.  Maybe it’s because I start feeling more melancholy, but it doesn’t take much for the sudden stab of a memory so vivid it can make me lose my breath at its clarity… especially when it’s something that has been lost in the deep recesses for so long.  What triggers these sudden onslaughts of memories so full of past emotion and meaning will I suppose always be one of the great unsolvable mysteries. They are shadows of the past, but they are part of what has made us who we are now, and who we may become tomorrow, so I for one welcome them, with all the pain and joy and tears and laughter they bring.  The key is to be making new memories that can resurface years from now, echoing the moments of our lives that we are creating today…

  • Gown:  Flower Dreams – Ida Gown.  A simply gorgeous, sophisticated take on what I would term a modified mermaid shape.  The texture is part of what makes this gown so stunning, with sequins strung in a pattern over what looks like a beautifully rich chiffon.  Includes a HUD with 8 different colors to choose for the gown as well as for the two separate decor pieces (the flowers in front with the hanging strips) plus the floaty sheer overlay skirts & tail, so you can mix & match if you choose.  Did I mention how gorgeous this gown is?  Sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, Ocacin, Maitreya, & Fitmesh M.  Two makeup sets (eyelashes, lipstick, & eyeshadow) for Catwa Only also available (which alas, I couldn’t wear but look beautiful). The gown & makeup sets are all EXCLUSIVE for the November round of the Swank Event, Nov 7th – 31st.
