Well Now..

The short lived life of Munchies at the Burning Life sim prompted a friend of mine to point out the obvious (yet it was totally oblivious to me) last night.

You see, while Burning Life allows artists to create something of their own exhibition for a few days for others to "appreciate"..we do that all year long.

Think about it! Between the Bistro Olive and the Blissful Productions events at the Wild Jungle Beach Club..we support artists..designers..builders..DJs..live musicians and charities.

And we do it without restrictions or an elitist attitude while actually supporting the people involved and maintaining a general peppy outlook.

So now that I've thought it through..I'm not as sad about leaving the project.

In the end..it's like taking a step down from what we actually love in Second Life - from what we've always loved and supported.

So..we'll keep doing what we do without limits. :)

Because that..is how I roll, baby.


XOXO,

I feel..

Like this..

Like I dunno..

I don't know what it is I want right now.

Or what I want to do.

I just feel..unsettled.

My 100th Post!

Well, it's not massive or meaningful. Just retrospective. :) Thank you all for sticking with me for 100 posts..more than a year together in SL..the ups, the downs, the funny little lulls..and everything else that came our way. My 100th post isn't really about me. It's about everyone that makes my SL days and nights so much fun. :) About the people I love and how they make logging in all worth while. Just to name a few special folks in alphabetical order who truly put up with my shit (sorry, these are the people I spend almost ALL of my time with..and have a super special place in my heart..please don't be offended if you're not on the list, if you're on my friends list, you mean a lot to me - that list is short and sweet, I promise..): Aeryn, Beverly, BigD, BORDAY, Busy, Crighton, Deylan, Ehric, Kim, Kemi and Parker.

It's all in honor of you guys. :)

XOXO,

Marly's!!

So, I was lucky enough to court the very lovely Marleen Vaughn into the showcase. Now, if you look classic style up, you'll find her picture there with a LM for Marly's.

I snapped some quick pics before tomorrow night's showcase..because I think she did an AMAZING job setting up (I was shopping while she was setting things up..lol).

If you've never been, check it out tomorrow and then grab a LM and head off to see her store for more great goodies. Party's from 6-8 PM SLT at the Wild Jungle Beach Club - come one, come all!

:) Mr. Moo and I made good use of the roof poses..just hanging out for some time while I changed outfits.

And yes, I've been a deadbeat about posting showcase blogs. I'll be better, I promise.


XOXO,

My Exhausting Day in (Brief) Review

A while ago I posted about a house versus a home.

And today..

I went home.

Moo and I sold the 1/2 sim island at Marinero and went back to our old stomping grounds at Bayou. We decided to move..to start over..to just go back to having fun.

And I loved the island. But it wasn't worth losing Moo - nothing really is.

We fought so much..I didn't even want to be at the island because it stopped feeling right.

So we've gone home to Bayou..to snuggle in our snowy skybox..eat breakfast on the porch in the snow and feed Fred in the morning.

And..revive Sporks. Well..try anyway.

Will we still fight? I'm sure every now and then. But I can't forsee anything as big as this last fight coming up in the near future.

And Marinero? :) well, if you pop in..you'll recognize the new owner. She's a good friend of mine..so I know the land will get the love it needs.

SMOOCH! :) off to bed..feeling pretty darn happy and settled tonight.


XOXO,

Ladies..

A few things are swirling around in my head today..

One thing being the new issue of Vanity Fair this month featuring a special on Marilyn Monroe.

But the trail of events leading up to the photographing and "exhibition" of Ms. Monroe's most private and personal items is, to say the least, disgusting.

The betrayal of trust..the greed..the complete disregard for the dead..well it's just astounding.

Can you imagine..everything private about yourself that you protected..suddenly becoming public? Everything going to the highest bidder who then turns around and sells to someone else?!

I highly suggest buying this issue - the trail of events are fascination beyond the disgust.

The web article doesn't give as much detail..but it's a great teaser..

http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/marilyn/marilyn

I've always loved MM as a style icon..so I found the collection and the article fascinating. Her life was actually very interesting - just as much as her death is intriguing.

So! If you can, grab it up and read it. :)

Next!

While I'm not terribly political minded, I must say the following:

Ladies. For everything the women before us fought for..please vote. Please do NOT underappreciate this right to vote that suffragette's and suffrigists battled for.

HBO released a movie some time ago, "Iron Jawed Angels" based on the fight for women to have the right to vote - rent it if you can. (http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedangels/).

I don't care WHO you vote for. Just don't waste the right TO vote.

That's all for today.

An Apology..

Here's something fun to read..

http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/09/11/tf.bad.apologies/index.html

I trust none of you do these stupid things..

Just Stand Up!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stand_Up!

If you haven't checked it out, you should.

And the song? :) I love it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though

Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into
your heart the beat goes on

Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up

Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle

Beyonce: You need to know

CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be
questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Fergie: It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face

Leona: Just because you go through it

Fergie: Don’t mean it got to take control, no

Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place

Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate

Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you

Keyshia: And sayin’ you can’t go on

Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that

Miley: Things get better
Through whatever

Rihanna: If you fall

Miley: Dust if off, don’t let up

LeAnn: Don’t you know you

Natasha: Can go

LeAnn: Be your own

Natasha: Miracle

Carrie: You need to know

Ensemble: CHORUS

Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind

Ciara: If you fall, dust it off

Mary: You can live your life

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah

Mary: Let your heart be your guide

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah yeah yeah

Mariah: And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good

Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart

Mary: And it will get better

Mariah: Through whatever

CHORUS

Fergie: You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Ha!

So I got on the elevator at work today and the little computer screen read off the news of the day to me.



And guess what..?



Cabbage Patch Kids turn 25 tomorrow.



Holy shit!

I still have my first cabbage patch doll, Lydia. I actually just pulled her out and washed her. LOL! She's all clean and smelling like Bounce now.

I thought to myself..this was my first and only doll. She's been to Mexico, Canada, California, Florida, and MORE! She's been to more places than some people have.

So..here's to feeling old and nostalgic on this unhappy eve.

:) Thank you Lydia for living with me all those years when I just chewed your hand and stuff.

Love ya.


XOXO,
B
