I’ve never been great at waiting. And yet it feels like more and more of my life is just that… waiting.  You’d think that I’d be better with age (ahem!), but I’ve actually become more impatient.  Shrugs… not much I can do about it, but look good while I wait…

Wow, time really has a way of disappearing doesn’t it? I have a tendency to get lost in books and just lose days, suddenly realizing that life has just kept going and deadlines are fast approaching.  Still, sometimes that’s what’s needed… to get lost in a story or in the music or just in life itself…

Got Time for Some Pillow Talk?

https://Got Time for Some Pillow Talk?

I don’t usually do lingerie, but sometimes wow, an outfit just knocks my socks off (literally in this case lol) and DEMANDS that I do a photoshoot.  That said, I had an image in my head that I just couldn’t manage to either capture or get rid of, so it took me a bit to just let go and see where I ended up.  I have to admit that I need to do that more often… once I did, it just kind of flowed… hopefully, lesson learned!

  • Outfit:  Ahlure –Ashley.  Sexy but elegant babydoll lingerie set, with a fabulous satiny body texture with lace & bows & awesome little details like a single dropped shoulder.  Includes optional gloves & stole for that added touch of glamour.  Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya+LaraX, & Kupra, Ashley includes a 12-color HUD (see the ad below).  She is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the Anniversary round of Designer Showcase, open through tomorrow, Jan 20th.  Demo available.

If I let you, would you play me?

Posted on by cejalaval

https://Would you play scales up and down me?

Sighs… when a song is stuck in your head, it’s hard to think of anything else!!!

He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, “If I let you, would you play me?”
Then delighted as he tickled every key

And he could feel the ivory skin beneath his fingertips
And I would watch the notes fall one by one from his lips
And he could snap his fingers to the beat
Of my heart, but he couldn’t feel the heat

And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong
But I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color even though I sing the blues

And he is playing scales up and down me
As we sing our tales of hope in perfect harmony
And measure out our love by the length of a song but
It disappears somewhere when the music is gone

Every song ever written has a final note
And I sign my name below every letter that I wrote
And lovers who part give a final kiss
Now I know it’s not the player but the music that I miss

He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, “If I let you, would you play me?”

Oh, but I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color even though I sing the blues
And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong

Hot wine… the perfect antidote to forgetting your coat in the cold!

Posted on by cejalaval

https://Hot wine... the perfect antidote to forgetting your coat in the cold!

Hot mulled wine seems to be a big thing in parts of Europe… It was everywhere we went in Europe last month, which was a very good thing considering how cold it was and how insufficient my coat was at keeping the cold at bay (hey, I live in Florida; my outerwear — and the ability to carry it on a plane — is limited lol!).  Personally, I still prefer hot apple cider, which I guess is more of an American thing, but one of the friends I was traveling with went wild over the wine! And it certainly does warm you up AND give you that relaxed sultry feeling that you can only get from red wine…  wish I had some here before I go out in our version of cold (which is definitely NOT what I used to experience up north) and do more shopping!  Enjoy!

It’s only the wind, isn’t it?

Posted on by cejalaval

https://It's only the wind, isn't it?

It’s that time of year! Even down here in Florida, the air has taken on a distinct chill, with long sleeves and long pants and sweatshirts suddenly a necessity when venturing outdoors.  The wind is still gusting, some lights got blown out during the hurricane and haven’t yet been fixed, and with the sun setting earlier, that early evening dog walk has taken on some spooky tones… I love it!  And with Halloween moving to the forefront here on the grid, that “tone” somehow snuck into my pic… and then I just decided to go with it!  To hear that suspicious noise behind you is way more fun in a pic than in real life, wouldn’t you agree?

https://Why do we have to wait till Halloween, it's just not fair

I’ll be missing Halloween this year, I’ll be on a European holiday.  Of course, I’ll be seeing what it’s like overseas on that special day of the year, which will of course be interesting; I rarely do much any more IRL, it’s more the inworld goings on that I enjoy, which are already in full swing, so in that respect, I’m not missing it at all!  I plan on having a devilishly good time while I can!
