My Deer Sweet Music

Flickr Link~ No Edit, Raw SL Snapshot

It was a chilly autumn day, smell of dew and rain filled the air while she walked along the road enjoying her music and slinging along her denim jacket. She reached her destination, instantly taking a seat on her favorite spot. Elbow leaning on the table as her eyes closed taking in the autumn scent mingled with brewing coffee. One hand reached up to press the headphones closer to her ear, music for the soul, coffee for the heart and this homey atmosphere for her mind.

Chilled touch of Autumn's strings,

Orange, yellow and red leaves,

Listen closely as the rain sings,

With pulled up sweater sleeves,

Aroma of coffee and hot cocoa in the air,

Cinnamon, Cardamon and pumpkin too,

Sinking deeper into that comfortable chair,

Perhaps reading something new, 

Music always lingering in the background,

Alluring, teasing and tempting,

Until the soul hears no other sound,

How easy can one end up dreaming...

Oh Deer Cafe is a lovely little creation by Bambi. She has an obsession with cafes, anything made in london (Except the men) and the fall season so it made sense that this is the first she designs which she opens to the public. Oh, also animals! Which you will all notice when you go and visit her cafe. I totally dare you all to count how many animals you find. Considering it is not winter yet, I went with your simple autumn wear, just a good long jeans and comfy long sleeve which are both by Blueberry. I also added the denim touch by M.Birdie, it is static so it will have to be positioned properly on your shoulders, there could be a lot of clashing with your hands depending on your AO but it is great for photos. Finally, you know how music can hypnotize your senses? Freeze you in time? I really adore those headphones by Balaclava which gives that feeling of forgetting the time until even your headphones get invaded by nature. ;)

"Are we there yet?" He asked, "Not yet." She replied. "How about now?" He asked again after what seemed like just a few minutes. "Very close now..." She said with a smile.

The fall season has dawned upon us all, everyone is taking advantage to get out their sweaters, sit by the fire with that warm cocoa and enjoy the light weather. Summer heat is fading away and the wind is growing more cooler. I do love autumn but deep down inside summer is the most exotic and exciting season of all. This is why, Pandora Resort is going to be an exotic escape for the heat lovers out there that want an excuse to wear bikinis, shorts and dig their bare feet in the sand.

Pandora Resort is slowly but surely getting brushed up and molded into a summer resort. Prepare yourself for an enjoyable immersive journey off the coast of India. An exploration that is going to be opened soon. I won't give away how it will be but I can say confidently that it will be so worth it. In addition, I doubt a day would be enough to explore the entire sim. 

Did you know?

We have a creative sneak peek preview competition currently running. There are really great entries already and the opening date of Pandora Resort is not fixed yet which gives others a chance to join the competition. It is exciting to prepare for a trip, I am sure most of us who are going on vacations to another location unseen have their own mantra in order to get ready. They say traveling alone is a convenient but traveling with others is an experience like no other. Not that traveling alone is not encouraged, there is a lot you can discover alone but lets face it, when you travel with others, it is a greater challenge. :p

Don't Forget Us

He left her, that one left her too, but they would never leave her. History repeats once again, another man enters her life and she forgets them. They know she'll return, she is one of them and always will be. There can never be a perfect union. By now she ought to realize she can only attract the damned. Happily ever after will never be the ending of her story.

That doesn't stop her from falling in love over and over again only to see the true destiny that awaits. Perhaps she is addicted to the feeling of both love and pain, the stages that always brings her from euphoria to despair. Her sisters are always there for her, guiding her through the unbreakable bond they have. Maybe all she is going through is a punishment for forgetting about them.

One fine day she was done, it was enough suffering for she was certain she found the one that she could not let go off. To escape was a dream for many years she had been dreaming off. Her biggest mistake was not learning that they foresee everything. It was time anyways for her to join them. Droplets of blood everywhere marked the fight for love but it was never enough. She will forever be the bride without the groom.

Writer's Note

Knick Knacks came out with these awesome chairs for The Liaison Collaborative. They are really beautifully textured and have that Victorian, vintage and antique feeling. I wanted to showcase all the chairs and this is the best I came up with. These dolls will always be my favorite cute and creepy ones. I grew up being afraid of Chuky the doll from Child's Play so anything with a doll is considered creepy for me. I love clowns better...

Pawprints

Muddy pawprints all along the floors, 

Across the bed and over the doors, 

Silly little one running around, 

Left, right, up and down... 

Happy sounds and bright face, 

Any frown they can erase, 

They are always there, 

Nothing can compare, 

Unconditional love in their eyes, 

At their demise, 

A part of you dies, 

With memories you'll never be apart, 

Little pawprints left in your heart... 

Little Rant: 

What can I say? I really wanted to do a picture with the doggies, initially I wanted it to be all Cruela De Vil style but along the way my thoughts, feelings and inspiration shifted. Having the love of a pet animal is a connection one cannot describe, something more pure at times than the love we have with other people. They seem to be able to love us unconditionally, even if we ignore them at times, they welcome us in. Some of us tend to just ignore their presence or perhaps not bother much because when we look they are there. But when the day comes and they aren't, that is when we realize the true value of them in our lives, the times they made us smile, lifted us up from feeling down. I never really had a pet but my brother does and perhaps this is a little tribute to him for he is losing a cute little hamster whose time has come. 

To talk more about items in the picture, the outfit is from Dead Dollz called Shierak, I love the sweater and the sheer dress (Not seen much in the picture). They come in very nice colors, if only the dress was not sheer, I would wear it a lot on daily basis. The hair is from Exile, called Frost which is found in this current Dec 2016 round of the Arcade. I just adore the ear covers and the way the long hair flows down, totally comfy. The socks are made by a good friend, Olgita Ruby, the designer of House of Ruby! She makes really good textured appliers and this is one of her newest releases. The cute Dalmatian puppies are also from this Arcade round by Mutresse. The one in my hand was won by my Angel! Last but not the least, this picture was taken in Pandora Resort, the new Lodge design for the Winter Turn over! Isn't it a cute sight to see snowy paw prints?

Lost Letters

Smudged ink on a sunday night,

Heart warming at the sight,

Lost letters to consume,

A million memories bloom,

Emitting silent whispers,

Remember me, please dont forget,

The smell of you still lingers,

Don't leave me, not yet,

Worn our yellow pad paper,

There is no more later,

Only now and then,

Time to pick up that pen,

Write away like the lost days,

Sentiments you cannot throw away,

Lost letters hidden deep under,

More precious than any treasure,

Smudged ink always looked great...

Little Rant:

This was completely random. Unplanned. I wanted to take a Pandora Resort sneak peek photo just to give people waiting for the winter opening a little eye teaser. I thought this was a great shot. I fiddled with the shadows through my Angel's help and managed to pull off this awesome shot that also inspired me to write the poem. I think it really fits a lot, I can't describe how touching these type of photos are to me. Books, letters or anything to do with paper easily connects with me. Even snow globes, music boxes and other pretty items! To talk about the few items on the picture, this is Lokhe's design and the chair is from Trompe Loeil, the lovely plants from Artisan Fantasy, the suitcase from Kalopsia (Their packaging) and finally the heartfelt knotted letters from Fancy Decor.

Solitude Explosion

Explosion within solitude,

Fighting this inner fued,

Dwelling must halt,

It's not your fault,

Absolute epiphany,

It was your destiny,

Fates can be cruel,

Heart the ultimate rule,

Denial swirling within,

You knew you'd never win,

Sttuborn feelings reign,

There's nothing more to gain,

Screaming demons so loud,

Pulling her out of that cloud,

Eyes still shut tight,

Holding on with all her might,

Forever no regrets,

Till her solitude she accepts...

I love the hair that is from Uber Nov 2016 round by Besom, the best ever beanie hair for me, it is called Star, just perfect. Half my necklace shown is by Empyrean Forge found at Tannenbaum 2016. The necklace is really great but for this shot I couldn't show it off properly. Of course, I really adore Kunst's Slim Cigarette Holder, it is the only cigarette that lasted long with me! I took this picture at Winter Trace, I have been hanging around here the past few days. Honestly I am just enjoying the windlight they have set up, the water is all Ice and reflection effect that tickles my senses and gives me some silent peace from just lazing around. I know I didn't do the sim justice here with this picture but this was more a personal touch for me. I have no idea what windlight this is though...

Outburst

Losing myself in my own outburst,

I know losing you was the worst,

Be still this aching in my chest,

Our souls unhappy and distressed,

Time is supposed to heal,

Time also changes the way we feel,

Eyes closed is easier way to go,

Taking action very slow,

What matters in end to me,

Is for you to feel free,

Be yourself in happiness,

Despite the broken promises,

Maybe forgive me one day,

For pushing you away,

Killing your worth,

Crushing with countless hurt,

With myself I will cope,

Your memories giving me hope,

Ghost of the past shelter me,

Shield me from anymore outburst,

For once you will come first...

Little Rant:

So, I really love 8f8's item for the November Deco(c)rate box. I wanted to give it more justice and let it be seen more but in the end I settled for a more close up that fits well to this poem I wrote initially. It was not easy to find this angle, it took me at least 3 hours, or maybe more. I also like the dress I am wearing, it is from Amitomo, a new gatcha at this current November Kustom9 round. I'd prefer if it was sized to Maitreya but it fits okay for me on medium size. Of course, I had to have Nantra's ghost in the picture with me, this pose series called the Illuminati gives me the shivers but most of my emotional pictures were done with these ghost. You know when you feel alone at times, you just want to give yourself a little comfort in believing you aren't REALLY alone. Anyone who wants to steal pictures with 8f8's built is welcomed to come visit Pandora Resort, you will just need to find it. :p
