Belle Epoque

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

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!

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 ♥

When I saw this outfit for sale I instantly thought of the movie The Mummy. Maybe it was just me? Then there were more releases at other events and well I just couldn’t resist! Now to be fair some of the events I went shopping at are changing over to a new month so you may have to wait till they show up in stores, but it’s worth the wait.

I think I am ready for an adventure, though maybe not one involving mummies, curses or anything along those lines. It’s possible I could be confusing adventure with a nice relaxing vacation at the beach, but hey isn’t every day an adventure? Just let me have this one.

Shipwrecked

Somedays the idea of being alone on an island in really appealing to me, but then reality sets in and I remember I have no survival skills. When I saw this outfit I got Marianne vibes, you know that lady from Gilligan’s Island? No? Well go forth and Google dearest and you will get the idea. So it’s not identical, but you understand how I came to the idea.

Of course when one is stuck on an island the only thing there is to do is make a coconut drink. Hopefully you have some rum or something on hand to make it a little more…more.If anyone knows of an island with great food and drinks and very few people let me know! I could really use a nice vacation.

Beachside Stroll

Summer is slowly coming to an end, at least in the sense that it is, or almost is, back to school time for a lot of people. I like many other bloggers and photographers have taken these sandal/flower combo to the beaches in SL because it seems fitting. I won’t bog you down with lots of words today, so here in another picture followed by credits!

Ethel And Her Garden

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Long ago in a small village lived a kind old lady named Ethel. Ethel spent most of her days tending to the garden she loved. She carefully weeded, watered and even talked to her plants. She had once heard it makes them grow much better.

Ethel always paid special attention to her tomato plants as she would use them to make the best sauce in town, canning some for all the neighbors. One morning Ethel went out to the garden ready to harvest her goodies when a little voice piped up from the near the tomatoes, “Good Morning Miss Ethel”, the little voice cried. Well Ethel looked over to the tomatoes and imagine the shock when she spied a little tomato staring up at her. She walked over and gently lifted him to her shoulder.

Well there was no way she could eat this little fellow, so instead of becoming a lovely jar of tomato sauce to save for the winter he became her new best friend and together they lived happily ever after in her little cottage.

Wanna be Bond Girl

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

I have been going through my inventory lately and sorting all the things in all the various folders. I have one that is labeled “to blog” it is filled with items that inspired me to photo/post about them. The sad truth is that sometimes other things come up, mostly in my non-digital life, that cause me to forget about all these treasures. I am hoping to get to them now though! This happens to be one of those treasures and I bought it because it totally gave me Bond Girl vibes. Now who is going to be my James Bond? And volunteers?
