Black Tie Affair


I just love it when an idea comes together organically, without having to search and plan and search again. I had just happened to pick up this Eria Set from LeiMotiv over the weekend on one of my weekend sale shopping sprees because I thought it was far too cute to pass up. Coincidentally, I was also honored to be accepted to the blogger teams for both HexPosed, and Short Leash this same weekend.

HexPosed has this stunning pose as part of its Goodbye Summer pose set available at Liaison Collaborative till October 10th, then Short Leash has the perfect Charming Collar bow. Mix the two together with my LeiMotiv purchase then add some smashing Taby Garters from LooKatMe and perfection is made.

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.

Horny Lil Devil


We seem to have a fascination with all things horny. Goats, unicorns, dragons .. wait, do dragons have horns ? I am going to say yes they do, and since I am the one writing this opinion, I can !

We actually have a RL tattoo on our shoulder of a cute lil devil baby with a diaper and a pitchfork, that was my ‘First day of college’ gift to us, and it is still one of my favorites. Devil on our shoulder at that point in our life, seemed far more fitting than an angel, tho we probably could have used the angel more.

When I first saw this horny lil Yoko outfit from LooKatMe, I thought the top was a kitty, which it certainly could be. Then I saw the panties, and well, those spaded little tails make it quite clear what the devil wants to make you do. The outfit includes a HUD with 5 color options for the ears and spades. There is also a sneaky little demon eyeliner included as well.

A Real Friend


A friend will help you move, but a real friend will help you move a body.

Real friends are hard to come by, but we are blessed that over the years we have acquired some pretty amazing ones. The kind that will not just help move a body, but who help us with far more important things like saving our sanity and keeping us real. Even if we may not talk every day, or even every week. These are those friends that you keep in your heart and when you do talk, it is like not a day has passed since the last time, even if it was over a year.

We have trouble letting people into the ‘real’ us. There are many people that get a version of us, the public persona, the Hanna Montana. The ones that get behind the curtain, are so precious to us that they often do not even realize it.

In our previous blog, we spoke about the heart attack that we had in April of 2020, and the stent that was placed then. That episode cost us 30% of our heart muscle. Since then, we have been on medication, gotten our diabetes under control, lost some weight and gotten our cholesterol in check. We have not felt anything to indicate that the damage had been getting worse, but recently we had a Nuclear Stress Test, and it indicated that the area of damage has doubled, since our Echo-cardiogram last august. On Thursday, September 15th, we are undergoing another cardiac cathetrization so that they can get an up close and personal look at the left ventricle of our heart and see if we need another stent, or a more invasive procedure to stop the spread of muscle loss.

We are going into this procedure with a positive attitude, and trying our very best to keep our panic and anxiety at a manageable level. With any luck, we will be back home on Friday and feeling back to life as we know it. If you should have some positive vibes to spare, we could use them. Hopefully no one will need to move a body.

Here Kitty Kitty


As some of you may remember, Prin turned into a very furry kitty just shy of 2 years ago. When we made our return as Arysta, since this avi is a combination of all three of us, I chose to keep our tail, as the representation of myself. It is my signature part of Arysta. When I saw these adorable Kali Earrings from Second Nature Jewelry with the sweet little kitty in the moon, I was so excited.

The earrings are available in both Gold and Silver, and in your choice of LeLutka Human or Catwa ears. They make the purrrfect addition to any bewitching outfit, or just for your own personal daily dose of pussy.

I paired up the Katja Choker, also from Second Nature Jewellery which you can get in gold or silver as well.

Belle Of The Fall Ball


Nothing says GLAM, more than diamonds and glossy red lips.

As soon as I picked up the Grace Set from Second Nature Jewellery, I knew I was going to rock it like the Belle of the Ball. It has all the glamor of a red carpet event, but still holds the simplicity to wear for a nice dinner date. The set is available in Gold or Silver, and each set comes with a HUD for Gem change. It comes preset with 8 Gem colors, and also includes a color wheel to allow you to choose the exact shade and color to suit your occasion.

I chose to add the Athena Rose Ring, also by Second Nature Jewellery, to the mix for that little hint of added Beauty and the Beast Belle. The ring also comes with a HUD allowing you to choose between Gold or Silver for metal, and 16 gem color options.

Retro Vibes


I am dedicating today’s post to a dear friend Abbey Jenna, because the song that was playing on repeat for the duration of shooting this photo is one that she posted on Facebook.

You can find me at the bar, shuttin’ down Broadway
Going too hard, bat shit crazy
So, turn the night up to ten, the whiskey’s fine, jump in
Going off, off, off, off, off the deep end

The vibes from this song brought me right back to the me I used to be, in my much younger years. The song mentions whiskey and Busch Light, but I was usually drinking Tequila and Natural Light ( I was a broke college student in those days, don’t judge ! ) Drinking and getting bat shit crazy was my signature move for any form of stress, or well, I never really needed a reason.

Maybe one of these days
I’ll pull all my shit together, sit down and do whatever
People do these days
‘Til then, you know, I’m doing okay

I have reached a point in life where I may still not have my shit together, but it is a hell of alot more stable. I am doin’ more than okay, I have reached the stage of my life I like to call “Responsible Adult” – ish. It has been 24 years since we have had a drink, and you could not pay me enough to ever want to do my younger years again. We were a train wreck in our 20’s, we worked way too hard to get where we are, to ever want to go back and have to figure it all out again. Being a responsible 47 year old, is nowhere as boring as we ever though it would be.

I can still listen to the song and enjoy it without wanting to grab a drink and party with the crowd. I can appreciate the music and the waves it is giving off, without wanting to dive right back into them. There are parts of that former life that I do have some really fun memories of, ones that make us smile, and laugh till we have tears, and well, there is a reason we are still known as Crash in the small town we were living in, but I won’t go into that here LOL.

What I will go into is this super cute pose and prop from Something New that they have released for the Spoonful Of Sugar event that is running from September 3rd – 18th. The lifeguard chair comes with 3 poses, lifeguard board and binoculars.

Also, I am going to mention that our dear Abbey is the owner of Abbs-olute Brat and LEVEL UP. You can find her items on marketplace and in your Zooby Animesh Texture HUD. And if you are so interested, she will also pose for taco’s, just check her Flickr, just take note of my ** ADULT CONTENT WARNING **

A Day In The Mind


Today is the opening day of the Spoonful of Sugar Event to support Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). The event runs from September 3rd – 18th. You can find more information about the event on the official website at https://www.thesosfestival.com/.

Cerridwens Cauldron is participating in this event, and have created an event exclusive coloring of the Summer Prince Statue that will only be available at the event. I previously blogged the original color set of the statue here – Frog Shroom Royalty – and chose to show it off in the smaller scale option this time.

When deciding how I wanted to present this to you all, my mind went on quite an adventure during the brainstorming. I started out with ‘ Medicinal Frogs ‘ and that transformed into Dr’s Without Borders and Nurses Without Limits, but of course that is a totally different kind of post now isn’t it ? So then I finally landed on ‘ Do These Boobs Make My Frog Look Big ? ‘.

So as you can see, our mind is rather twisted and perverse, and just a little silly.

The other items in the scene are also from Cerridwens Cauldron and are available at the mainstore.

Seeing Stars


Oh my, starry eyed surprise
Sun down to sun rise
Dance all night
We gonna dance all night
Dance all night to this DJ
Now sugar, dance all night to this DJ

There is something about a song that gets stuck in your head, even when you have not actually heard the song. A memory or a random thought just thrusts the beat into your head, and suddenly you are bopping along singing it to yourself like a fool, and not caring one bit !

This happens to us frequently with Oakenfold – Starry Eyed Surprise. We are not quite sure why this particular song is such a frequent visitor on our internal playlist, but once it does, it is there for at least a good 24 hours. Perhaps it is the beat, but even tho it came out long after our rollerskating days, it gives off roller rink vibes !

Seeing the stars on this weekends Saturday Sale offerings from Second Nature Jewellery instantly threw the single on repeat in our minds. It may not be Saturday, but all three items are out now at the mainstore. So grab your skates and find your favorite DJ and see your own stars !
