Belle Epoque

Holy Cow

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Or maybe it is more of a divine bovine? Yes I know it’s been three months since I have posted. It was an unplanned summer break. During my break I spent some time with family and sort of recharged my creative energies. That is not the point though, the point here is I just really wanted to make a post about this pun/wordplay thing that made me chuckle while I was herbally infused. Here is a better look at my face so you can see the bovine beauty in all it’s glory.

The only cute part of my cow self is my tail. It sort of had a mind of it’s own flicking this way and that. Oh well at least you can see my ears and adorable nubby horns.

Fish, Chips and Call the Midwife

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Recently I have been re-binge-watching Call the Midwife, mostly because I forgot where I had left of and decided to start over again. It reminded me that I had this look lurking in my outfits folder for a while. You see when I was sorting my inventory at some point I put this dress on and I thought it made me look pregnant, but pregnant in the 60’s. Now the Call the Midwife memory jog makes sense if you have ever seen the show.

Since the show takes place in England I thought fish and chips would be the perfect pregnancy craving. Maybe not the healthiest, but way more normal than some other cravings I have heard about. Ironically when I was pregnant in my non-digital life I craved certain things which ended up being some of my kids favorite foods. My first kiddo LOVES Reece’s peanut butter cups and Reece’s Pieces, while pregnant with them I always wanted a sundae with those toppings. With my second it was peach iced tea and Apple Jacks cereal, both of which that kid LOVES. Has that been the case with anyone else out there? Enough of my non-digital prattle, onto the credits!

When you have been in SL as long as I have and hoard all the things you can sometimes no longer find them. I am sorry about that!

Mushroom Afternoon

One must wear only the finest of hats when foraging to find a cache of mushrooms and apples. Of course taking a break and having a little read before popping off for another look see never hurt a person. Lets me fair nothing beats the feel of lush green grass on your feet. This does of course mean that your feet get a touch dirty, but I assure you it washes away quite easily.

One must never go adventuring in this day and age without a way to communicate should an emergency arise. Or to check out the latest tea being spilled by friends and foes alike. Not that I would do such a thing on my phone, nor do I assume you do either.

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.

Take Me Away

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

I don’t know about you but I could use a vacation right about now. I wish I could say that my spans between posts is because I have been doing something fun like having a vacation, but sadly that is not the case. The truth is that posts will probably be spaced out a ways because my hands are not playing nice at the moment. I have carpal tunnel in both hands, some days one hand is better than the other and other days both of them are useless pain monsters. Not to fret they are getting doctor treatment, but till they are all happy again thing like typing and mouse control are a bit hard.

Anyway, when I first put this dress on I was going to do a whole Mrs. Potts in her younger years thing, you know pre-kids and pre-curse, but things didn’t go as planned. Why Mrs. Potts you ask?

It’s the corset part of this dress really. The blue and white just reminds me of a beautiful classic teapot, and well my train of thought went to Disney and Mrs. Potts. There was some logic in my train of thought. I will leave you with the credits. Till next time!

Hanging the Stars

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Yesterday I was a Sun Goddess and today we are channeling the night sky. The tattoo may be the moon goddess one, but I couldn’t choose between the moon and the stars so I went with both. Maybe she is in charge of the new stars in the sky that create the constellations. One of which I learned about during a lecture, talk, history lesson, whatever you want to call it during the faire. I will talk about that in my weekly round up post probably tomorrow. For today how about a closer look at that tattoo ( I went halo-less this time)

I think if I had to choose between releasing the sun and hanging the stars I would choose the stars. The sun doesn’t really change all that often but stars, those are more every changing and in constant flux so your job would never be the same. Granted I am not well versed in all the celestial bodies and could be speaking out my bum. Either way I would make a fabulous star sticker outer and even more so if I looked like this!

yes I know I didn’t change much between the sun and the moon. They are siblings in my head so they needed some similarities.

Sun Goddess

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

It’s funny that I am channeling my inner sun goddess given my love/hate relationship with it. In the non-digital world I am so pale I glow in the sunlight and burn easier than something that burns easily. That being said I could not resist the tattoo and halo combo.

Who wouldn’t want to look this glowing and fabulous? It paired really nicely with an outfit I already had in my inventory so that was a bonus for me. It means that I have all the more to be able to drop into the RFL kiosks all over the fairelands. Since it would be weird to have the day without the night, there will be a post featuring the moon following this one, I mean not right away, but maybe later today…after the sun sets!

Wintersong

I am just realizing that wearing fur right in front of a deer may have been a poor choice, but we will ignore that. I feel like some sort of glorious wintery magical forest dweller. I am sure if I did the research some culture has a being that looks like this, but I didn’t do that.

Here is just a better look at my horns and other little adornments that I was wearing for these photos. If you couldn’t guess from my pictures lately I have been playing with depth of field more and more. I promise not to overuse it.

I could so go for a getaway right now, sitting on a beach drinking boozy cocktails.

I am sure you would have a smile on your face too if your days started or ended with a drink or two and nothing you HAVE to do!

Cooling Off

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Somedays you just need to toss yourself into a kiddie pool, clothes and all! It’s one of those hot and humid days when all you want to do is cool down, no matter what it takes. I do not have a pool of my own in RL, but there is one in my complex but outside is where the sun lives and we have a love/hate relationship. I love the sun, it makes me happy, the sun on the other hand hates me with a burning passion (that is a fancy way of saying that I burn easily)

Normally I am not a rose all day kind of girl, but in the heat of the summer I will drink just about anything as long as it’s cold. And while it may not be a drink per se, I will also eat boozy popsicles, like the blueberry-grapefruit-gin one I got from a local food truck/ice cream truck recently. As an asides I do not recommend eating a boozy popsicle on an empty stomach unless you want a quick, cool buzz. If you hadn’t guessed I am finally home from my epic adventure and will hopefully be back to posting regularly now. Have a wonderful day my loves ♥
