Today is my 11th Anniversary in Second Life. Yup, 11 years, in SL with the same guy, and I know for a fact that’s a bit unusual, a rare “rose” we’ve cultivated. During that time, we’ve helped each other through a lot of real life difficulties; we’ve both lost jobs, lost our dads, had all kinds of personal struggles, and I have to say, having someone who thoroughly understands and supports you — but is totally outside your day-to-day life with no real world connection — can do more for your mental well-being than you might realize. Like any relationship, though, it’s not always easy. These days our time together is extremely limited… the “thorns” if you will… though maybe it’s also why we’re still so thrilled to find time to be together, who knows? All I know is that time seems to go both so fast and so slow… there’s never enough of it and yet sometimes I feel like all I do is wait lol! Ahhh the paradox of time… Though thinking about time is why I purposely chose this particular gown for our anniversary celebration… in a strange way, it seems to capture the essence of time, it just has that period glamour about it, that special allure… 😉
- Gown: Allure Couture – Bella Nouveau en Noir, a sensational back-less gown that to me blends the essence of the ’40s with the beautiful fabrics of the Beaux Artes period… includes an optional fur stole (I have it on the ground at my feet in the top picture; I’m wearing it in the closeup below). Sized for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Slink Physique & Hourglass, Maitreya, & Classic. EXCLUSIVE available at TheEvent for January!
- Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Stormy, yes I’m still wearing her! In my last pic I wore her casual, but with her highlighting under the eyebrow & shadow under the eyes, she’s a perfect skin for when you dress it up (though I did add more makeup since I’m formal). See the Closeup Below. Designed for both omega GENUS & LAQ bento mesh heads, she’s on discount for a few more days at the Designer Circle 01/19 Jan 6th – 19th. Choose from packs of dark or light tones for just 250L (I’m wearing her in Cashew browless with added freckles). Demos & shape also available.
