Memories (and no, I promise I won’t sing the song, but I included the lyrics on my post in case YOU want to lol). Memories have been thick about me lately. In preparation for the big upcoming move (still a couple of months away), one of the things I’ve been doing is going through lots of old photo albums and boxes of snapshots. There’s something to be said for pre-digital memories… rather than just looking at a screen, you’re holding them in your hand, which in some ways makes them feel a bit more substantial. Sorting through decades of old photos really triggers some of those old memories… you recall more than just the image, but also sounds, smells, tastes, all the sensations you might have experienced at the time. Remembering friends and family who are gone, either by death or just by drifting away. And it’s not just photos… cleaning out closets I’ve been smelling perfumes that haven’t been worn in a while, choosing “keep” or “toss”, previously loved books, and all those little knick-knacks that accumulate over a lifetime of living in one place. I’m a sentimental sort, so there’s just so much to wade through, there are times the memories just get overwhelming. And there have been so many moments where I just sit and close my eyes, and remember the way it was… years down the line, will I be doing the same about THIS moment in time?
- Outfit: Skindustrial Bodyworks (SKBW) – Paradise Dress in Yellow. It’s hard to say what I like best about this little tropical dress. Each of the 4 textures are very different but equally fantastic, every single one providing not just a different color but also a very different look. The overall style of the dress is also phenomenal, with a dark semi-sheer cut-out in the neck & another in the back (see below), each with the pattern itself continuing onto the new texture. Did I say “fabulous”!?! Sized for Tonic, Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, Altamura, Legacy, Starbody, Signature, & Maitreya, this knockout is EXCLUSIVELY available at the July Swank Event, July 7th – 30th.
