But before the night is through…

TUNES

When you came in, the air went outAnd every shadow filled up with doubtI don’t know who you think you areBut before the night is throughI wanna do bad things with you

I’m the kind to sit up in his roomHeart sick and eyes filled up with blueI don’t know what you’ve done to meBut I know this much is trueI wanna do bad things with you, okay

When you came in the air went outAnd all those shadows there filled up with doubtI don’t know who you think you areBut before the night is throughI wanna do bad things with youI wanna do real bad things with you

I don’t know what you’ve done to meBut I know this much is trueI wanna do bad things with youI wanna do real bad things with you

When will we finally breathe?

Made for SL20 Magazine // Issue No. 12 // Skin Issue // August 2022

TUNES

I hear the sound, echoes beneathAngels and skylines meetAnd I’m straining to reachThe light on the surfaceLight on the other side

I feel the pages turningI see the candle burning downBefore my eyes, before my wild eyesI feel you holding meTighter, I cannot seeWhen will we finally breathe?

[- Fleurie -]

Again I had the great pleasure to do a magazine feature for SL20. This time it was all about skins. I really was thinking hard what I could do since I am not a fan of nude pictures and mostly magazines are PG anyway.

So my idea was to give a little variety of different ages (no kids) and to have some different types and genres. In the end I ended up with an aged version of myself, a super cute 20s ranged girl and my myself together with my sweet sister Vivien.

The theme of the magazine was skins, so at least I wanted to show a lot of skin and less clothing than usual 😉

With Vivien I love to do erotic pictures as she always show so much taste and not gets porno like so many other poses do. I am not prude, but I never saw the need for myself, to do pornographic pictures especially not official magazine or Flickr pictures. It can cause problems with so many rules and TOS of various platforms, that feels mostly too much hassle as I do want my pictures to be seen – not saying I am judging such pictures, I just do not want to do them for myself 😉

To me it is always very special to do pictures with Vivien… I never did hide that and so some asked me, what would be so special. Let me try to explain that… Usually when I do pictures I am all on my own. That means, I have an idea (mostly, sometimes sadly not) and then I try to work on it kinda wearing blinkers not thinking or looking left or right. That can become quite boring after some time and I miss some kind of challenge and if I work like that for too long it can get boring sometimes. With Vivien it is always like a “challenge” as we both have ideas and either I have to fit into her idea or she into mine… OR we develop something together out of an idea of one of  us – if that makes sense. Furthermore we seem to have an “alike thinking” if it comes to showcasing items. There is not much talk needed between us, to adapt the otters look or focus on the right item or genre, which makes it so sweet and easy and we can focus on the pictures, poses, angles and windlight. We never had a fight over a style or accessories that are needed or not, nor we have to tell each other if something like hair or something else interferes with the pose – it just feels natural. I hope that made sense, like most of you know I am not an English speaking native 😉

For Vivien’s look just poke her and ask her *winks*

Tired…

So you know that feeling if you just cannot get up and could sleep the whole day… I have no clue what that is but since a few days, as soon as I wake ip, I am already tired again and could fall asleep right away 🙁

I mean I have holidays and I tried that for 2 days now, to just sleep when I feel tired, but that seems not to be the right way either, as I get headaches and my back starts hurting as I am not used to lay or sit that much usually. My mind does not seem to like that as well as I feel weird and unproductive. I need to think about something different I guess…

But that gave me the idea of the “Tired Bee” for my pictures – even if it is a futuristic one 😉

Anyway… today I come to you with some news fro A&Y released at the Midnight Order event – you still have 2 days to ge there and see all the goodies and I promise it is really worth it 😉

The amazing “Cybergothic Corset” made by A&Y comes for Maitreya and Legacy body sizes. It does have a huge HUD where you can customize all kind of different parts of the corset. Th coast has a perfect length to fit pants or any other bottom part to it – I did use the “Phex” pants as well made by A&Y as I love when the fabric, colors and materials go together perfectly.

It is always hard to find really cool Cyber hair but at A&Y you get a very good selection. The new “Orbital Babe” hairstyle is just one example of the awesome and creative ideas. It dies come with the same kind of huge HUD as A&Y does provide it for all their designs. Just go there and take a look for yourself, I promise you you won’t be disappointed 😉

The arms and legs were designed by {PSYCHO:Byts}, one my favorite stores for the unusual and freaky stuff. I love her imagination and how she turns them into her creations. The limbs come with color HUDs too and you can recolor many different parts.

If you are looking for extravagant makeup and eyeshadows you should take a look at Rubedo. She creates wonderful color packs in all kind of shades. Usually she does release her designs for BoM and LeL. EvoX BoM in 2 different packs. Today I chose the “haven” style. What is cool with that pack, Foxy included a full version and a gentle one. The gentle one is a little bit more subtile (lighter) than then full, but both have beautiful colors with them.

I hope you had fun with my little “Tired Bee” and I will hurry to showcase you a little more from the Midnight Order event soon, so that you can grab all the stuff before the event ends 😉

Betrayed…

If you think you know people…

It is “amazing” how after all these years you still experience betrayal. You think you saw so much already, you already trust way less people than you used to and still some make it to disappoint and betray you.

This is for all of those – Karma will get you.

TUNES

You remember all their faultsAnd you don’t trust in any word they sayAnd you’re still waiting for the day whenYou can make them payAnd your blood is boiling and your head is explodingThe hopes are dying while the sky is about to fall

It’s time to open your eyes to knowYou’ve been used and betrayedIt’s time for you to have another go,Don’t leave it too lateAnd the sun is shining and you keep on fightingYou can be proud of yourself just never give in

Show them your middle fingerYou got to keep on going,Keep on screamingShow them your middle fingerYou got to keep on breathing,Don’t stop believing
