Not Ready to Say Goodbye

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

We got a little sneak peek at the cold winter we are to expect here in the south last week and let me say it makes me want to hold tight to fall (I mean I do have a little bit till it’s officially winter). I will however happily trade pumpkin spice lattes for peppermint mochas. Of course, I don’t have to miss out on seeing geese because in theory because this is the south they fly to in the winter. I have already seen a flock by the pond near my home.

Family Secrets

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Imagine you are in a Hallmark movie and the whole idea is you get these letters from your great grandmother and must learn the family secret. I will admit I am a Hallmark Christmas movie watcher. They are cheesy and predictable and make for a festive background sound when I am working in my office in my non-digital life.  I have another post in the works about things these movies have made me think about Christmas. I will admit for years I thought there was a family secret in my family too, but it turns out I was wrong.

Pretty and Random

I am at it again handing off my pictures to someone else to play with. I promise it’s not going to happen in every post, it’s just some times I need some help (especially when my body is being a jerk). I wasn’t cleaning my inventory when I took this picture. I was really just trying to avoid doing any sort of “real” work. Yeah my inventory is still a wreck, but at least I am enjoying myself right? I feel like this photo could be selling something, what I am not sure, but something. Any ideas?

Randomness

Every once in a while I decide to sort the chaos that is my inventory and I end up styling a look I just have to share. This is one of those times. Did any one else just read that in the “Law & Order” voice? Just me? That’s cool. Anyway I was playing with the blazer and trying to figure out what would look good under it when I saw the corset and well the rest as they say is history. I shoved the photos off to my silent partner to edit to his hearts desire so if you don’t like them it’s his fault. I am only kidding, don’t blame him!

If it weren’t for the wedding ring I would say I look like the main character from a Hallmark movie about a busy city girl trying to find love in the fall. I am none of those things though so…yeah.

The Witches – Water witch

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Last but certainly not least we have our water witch. Coming up with a familiar for her was a bit more challenging. I mean a shark would be an awesome familiar to have, but you are a bit limited on how it would be able to help given that it needs a large body of salt water. Let’s be fair it basically eliminates all fish from the familiar equation, so we need to look at amphibians. That led me to the golden poison dart frog. Most people may not keep a poisonous frog as a pet, but I am sure a little spirit magic could mask it. Who wouldn’t want a beautiful but deadly familiar? Not to mention I happen to be a huge fan of poison dart frogs of every color.

And to end this little series a group photo…

The Witches – Fire Witch

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Now we are having a look at the fire witch, not to be confused with me, Phire, who can be a witch sometimes. I am only kidding I am usually quite nice. Anyway, as with the others I forgot to think of a familiar to go with my fire witch. I would go for something awesome like a phoenix, but that would be a little harder to explain if it were spotted. Also, I am trying to keep this in the realm of actual “normal” pets that people may have. So, I think a fire witch may be the kind to have a cat as a familiar, an orange tabby perhaps? Lets be fair here cats can have fiery tempers if my own cats are any indication.

The Witches – Air Witch

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Today we are looking at my air witch. She is dressed in white to represent the clouds because that is what made sense in my head. Now yesterday I mentioned that I thought a crow would be a good familiar for an air witch, but now I am thinking maybe a raven instead. Another dark bird, but there is something about a raven that seems more witchy and foreboding than a crow. I mean I could go all Harry Potter here and suggest an owl, but that seems a bit too spot on. Then again maybe a raven would be too.

The Witches – Earth Witch

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

While I may see a lot of three-person witch poses (think Charmed and the power of three) I wanted to go for more of a The Craft vibe with the four directions/four elements. Today being the first of the four with my Earth Witch look. I wanted a more modern look for my witches, which is why she doesn’t look like the kind you would have found at the witch trials in Salem.

What I did forget was that my witch doesn’t have a familiar with her. I was trying to think of what sort of animal would be helpful to an earth witch. In the book I am currently reading the earth witch has a crow for a familiar and while a crow would be a very dark and appropriate it seems it would be better for an air witch, what with it flying and all. I was thinking maybe a scorpion or a snake. I think a snake would be better, and potentially just as deadly as a scorpion depending on the snake.

Not Before Coffee

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

This is a common phrase in my house. My brain does not want to work until I have finished that first cup of glorious bean water in the morning. I may even have a coffee mug or two that reflect this. I would say it’s an addiction, but really I drink coffee for the general public…and because I can’t do jail time.

I can’t lie, sometimes when my brain isn’t firing properly I become the queen of malapropisms. It can cause quite the embarrassment especially if I am in the drive thru attempting to order my much needed coffee. That is why most days it is safer for me to make coffee at home, sometimes I even get dressed like a normal person to do it!

The Wedding Guest

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

In my last post I talked about my drive to Georgia for a wedding. The part I left pout was that while I was present for the ceremony I missed out on most of the reception. I mean I was at the venue, but I missed out on all the usual activities like the cake cutting and dancing. Why you may ask, well it’s because I was focused on being a good person to someone who needed a friend, and some distraction. I did drink my fair share of gin and tonics and got some of the cake though to there was that!

Prior to the wedding I went through at least half a dozen different dress options trying to find one that would be comfortable and look good too. Had I known that I would be feast on by mosquitos I would have worn a pantsuit instead! I would have had such an easier time dressing for this wedding if I could have reached into SL and pulled out dresses that way. Oh well.
