Walking On The Wild Side


As those of you who read our blogs are aware, today is our last post until October. We are picking Troy up at the airport in 5 days !!!

For the past 10 months, this blog has been pretty much decor only. While we prefer doing decor posts, we thought as a little change up before our vacation we would toss in a little fashion. You have until Saturday to snatch up the cuteness from Cosmopolitan before it all heads to their respective main stores !

In Flander Fields


  Days of Thanksgiving # 11

Today we give thanks to our military service members. Those that fell in battle and those who were left to mourn them. Those that served in conflict, and peace time. We give thanks to you all.

In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
         Between the crosses, row on row,
       That mark our place; and in the sky
       The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
       Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
                              In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
       The torch; be yours to hold it high.
       If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
                                In Flanders fields.

Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

Rockin It Boldly


Days of Thanksgiving #2 –

Today, we are giving thanks to friends who become family. Over the years, we have been blessed to have several people cross that line, and the most recent of them is Alessia Setner, the owner of Second Nature Jewellery. It was quite by accident really, tho I think perhaps it had more to do with fate. We had known of Alessia previously because we all travelled in the Live Music social circles, but it was much more of a passing acquaintance type of thing. When we came back to SL after our hiatus, Alessia was having a photo contest for her store, and on a whim we decided to enter. When we won, Alessia made an casual comment about if we ever started blogging again, we should let her know. We had no real thoughts of returning to blogging until that moment, and we decided to dip our toes back in the water.

3 months later we are well past our toes and soaking shoulder deep in the great blogging sea, all because we decided to enter a photo contest. We won far more than some store credit in that contest, we won a wonderfully caring and giving friend, and in even this short amount of time, that friend quickly became family.

In honor of that shared music history that started it all, we decided to show off the Rockin It Bold set from Second Nature Jewellery. The set includes necklace, earrings and ring. Be sure you check out the mainstore and the marketplace to see all the gorgeous items she has created.

Dancing With The Dark


There is something about darkness that is both terrifying and captivating. Vampires, for example, are traditionally meant to be frightening and terrifying creatures, and yet, they are also romanticized in the very next breath. Like moths to flames, we are drawn to those things that our rational minds know we should flee from.

Something you should not flee from is this months round of Unik which runs until the 28th so you still have lots of time to grab up the darkness, and the light !

Mine

So much is written about the power of 4 letter words. Love, being the biggest of them, but I am sure you can think of a few others yourself. Today I am talking about the simple word ‘Mine’.

So much power comes from this word. No matter if you are the one saying it, or the one hearing it, there is a flood of emotion that comes with it. Just like any other powerful thing, its power can be used for good or evil, depending on the one wielding it. When used for evil intents, it can damage beyond measure, but when used for good, with love powering it, nothing else can compare.

When that power is balanced in both directions, “You are Mine, as I am Yours”, the results are something more spectacular than any fireworks show.

This lovely Bella Wedding Set from Second Nature Jewellery, is perfect for sealing the deal, while the Mine pose from HexPosed, shows it off. Pose was slightly edited to adjust left hand position.

Latex vs Lace


Yesterday may have been all Diamonds and Pearls, but today we bring you the ultimate battle between good and evil. Latex vs Lace, with Cocksabers !

I really can not begin to explain to you all just how much I laughed when the very idea of this picture entered my creative planning, but I can tell you that I chuckled about it the entire way through , till even now. When I first showed Troy the background and poses that Something New had created for the PosEvent, his said something along the lines of shooting it as a Super Hero, since DiD is our super power. This on its own, was a fantastic idea, and so while he went to bed, I sent about putting together something Super Hero-ish.

Now at this point, my brain remembered that I had seen the oh so perfect for this photo Kinky Wars Cocksaber’s from Short Leash, and then things truly started coming together. LooKatMe fulfilled the sexy garter needs of both hero’s with Mable Lace and Tam Latex. You can see the final result of all the creatively flowing juices that our brain provides, and oh they are some kinky juices !

Walk With Me


Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead. Walk beside me… just be my friend”. ― Albert Camus

When it comes to love, you should never see it as a race, or a competition to see who can get to some predetermined milestone first or fastest. Walk, don’t run, enjoy the journey and the scenery along the way. Stumble, brush each other off, limp for a little bit and heal each other. Keep walking. Never take a single day for granted. Say I Love You more than you think you should, but don’t forget to show it as well, or the words lose meaning, but both are still important.

The next milestone may feel like it will take forever, but forever is what you have. If it’s worth it now, it will be worth even more then because of the strength you built together getting there.

1,781 days and counting, and only 351 days to go. I love you.

Always Be My Puppy


When we talk about children, it is often said that they will always be our babies. With pets, the same is just as true. No matter how big, or how old they get, they will forever be Puppers and Kitties, and whatever other cute baby names you have for your fur babies, or scale babies, or whatever kind you prefer.

This adorable pose from Hexposed may be called Goodbye Summer, but to me it screamed leaf pile and the ever playful Shelby just had to come along to play and poor Goober just needed a good snuggle nap.

You can find the HexPosed – Goodbye Summer set ( 3 pose set ) at Liaison Collaborative from September 8th – October 10th.

Ropes and Roses


Anyone who has known Troy for any length of time, and run into him while at a live show at an adult rated Sim, or a moderate one, depending on how lenient the venue is, has likely seen comments made in local chat about the silk rope that is always in his pocket. While the comments are always made in very good nature, it is also quite true. So pay attention to those little slips of comments you see being tossed around that you may take in jest, there is often far more truth behind them than you may think.

The contrast between rope and flesh, is just one part of what makes shibari not only an erotic pleasure, but an artform all its own. The precisely placed knots, akin to accupressure, help in bringing pleasure to the pain. Ropes and Roses.

When I saw this Shibari set from Domina I knew it was exactly what I wanted to use to show off the beautiful Karin set from Second Nature Jewellery that is out this weekend for The Saturday Sale. You will find the earrings and choker both on sale this weekend, available in gold or silver. You will also find the matching necklace available in both metals as well, only these are free gifts, so be sure and pick them up while you are there.

This Is Us


Anyone who has known us for any length of time, knows that we used to shoot quite a lot of adult content. We were all about the public displays of sex for a number of years, and then Troy happened.

That really sounds bad when I type it that way, but it was truly the very best thing to ever happen, to any of us. We still enjoy a very healthy and happy sex life, we just no longer feel the need to share it with the rest of you. Sorry, not sorry ! That being said, now that our lives have become what they are, you may just see more of Troy than you ever saw on display before. *Rawr*

We used to use our sexuality, as a way to bolster our confidence, and sadly, our self worth as well. Survivors of childhood trauma often times end up one one extreme or the other on the sexual spectrum. There are generally speaking two choices, slut or prude, and it is difficult to find a healthy middle ground.

We are extremely grateful, and thankful, that we have found the safe haven that we have found in our relationship with Troy. We have come a long way and are looking forward to seeing what comes in the future to come.

Something New has released this cute background and 4 single poses for the PosEvent, which is running from August 27th – September 19th. When I saw the background, I had a desire to shoot something with Troy, and so I popped over to the mainstore to find acouples pose. Something New offers so many options from cute to romantic to sexy, but instead of gravitating to the smexy steamy or smushy kissy poses, my eyes went directly to this pose instead. I laughed so much as I purchased it, because it really is US. We are derps, and we own that every day, loudly and proudly. I just knew that this pose was meant to go with this background, tho I did have to make one small adjustment. Sorry Allyson, but we are so not mustard girls, so I had to use the tint feature and change that to ketchup !
