Dear Second Life,

Miss Apology here.
Once again running way behind with my

Good thing most designers keep the sale running until at least Sunday ;)

Our love is

And So She Waits

Featuring
GROUP GIFT


Dear Second Life,

She looks over her shoulder,
every time she hears the door open.
Hoping it is he who now has entered
this cold and lonely dark room
where she waits 
and waits 
and waits
for his return.

And every time
her sadness grows deeper and stronger
when she realizes
it is never him...
never him
and her tears run down her face endlessly
and so she waits 
and waits 
and waits
for his return...

The Dark Side Of My Dreams

Featuring
FREEBIES FROM THE MARKETPLACE


I Hate Myself For Loving You

Dear Second life,

So I am starting to dream again... in real life that is.
Unless I've been dreaming all the time and I just didn't know it.
The only dreams that I thought I was having were those that I usually get once in a blue moon
where a storm always seems to be approaching and I am trying to save my grandma's birds.
But now, four nights in a row I've been having dreams and I am wondering what is triggering them.
The first one was about my dog Cookie who's been missing (in real life) for days and I am so worried about her.
The other three dreams have been about my kids but thankfully they've been good dreams.

I usually remember dreams very vividly and can describe them down to the smallest detail.
Once someone asked me if I dreamed in colors.
Don't we all do?
I know my dreams are in color because I remember once when I dreamed that the blue sky was turning
into a dark red... it was turning into blood in another words.
Yes, I do have scary dreams like this where there is darkness, silence, and loudness. In
my dreams my ears bleed either by the silence or the noise.
That is the dark side of my sleep, the nightmares that torment my peace.

I don't understand what causes me to have these type of dreams.
I see the world full of light, of color... full of life and love so I really don't understand where these dreams are coming from.

Here are three of my dreams I have shared in the blog.
Total Darkness
The Eerie Sound Of The Day
I Must Save Them All

As you can see, they are very intense but thankfully I rarely get them.
How about you, what are you dreaming about?

Forever Yours,
~ Lori Novo ~

FASHION'S STORY FAIR HUNT by Valkiria Fox


Fashion's Story Fair Hunt
by Valkiria Fox

What's the big star of the Fashion's Story Fair? 


CHEEK TO CHEEK
1935


The hunt, yes! 
This time you have to look for the small magazines (they are really small) all around the fair.
Once you arrive at the fair you will find a green kiosk. 
Take and wear the HUD they give you there, so you will have the fair's map and many hints. 
Then it's time to search for the prizes: 
there is 1 amount of small magazines in each of the 22 stores, 
plus 9 amounts that you will find walking around the fair with a more clinical eye. 
Don't forget to look up and down everywhere!  
On each magazines amount you have to right click and chose "touch" to get the prize 
(maybe it  seems obvious, but I tried many things such as just touch, choosing 
"buy", "pay", "take", etc before I did the right thing).
 Each amount will give you a different "vintage" suitcase. 
I confess that it was difficult to choose which suitcase to wear for this post. 
They are all so pretty!!! They come on different colors and with different old style pictures, 
so at the end you will have 31  beautiful different suitcases, at a L$0 cost. 
And there is more! 
In one of that suitcases you will be given the landmark to the Top Secret Dressing Room. 
It's an elegant adorned room where you will find high quality fashion for only L$5, each item. 
It's a little review of what you had seen on the fair stores, which means only beautiful stuff. 
So don't loose it!

MISS LITTLE TOMATO

Featuring
FASHION'S STORY FAIR
ASO!

Dear Second Life,

Miss Little Tomato here just saying hi and sending all my readers a HUGE hug.
Just not too tight though. Wouldn't want to turn into Ketchup.
Hahaha, do you get it?
Probably not.
Okkkk.... (sound of crickets) any who's.
Little Tomato is one of the several names some of my friends call me. 
Don't think it's because I am round and chubby,
but because I am red and shiny.... just kidding! :P
Not funny either?
Please let me know when I finally made you laugh 
so I'll know my work here is done and I can go to sleep.
Don't make me stay up all night or tomorrow, I'll wake up all mooshy.

There are several ways the people that love me in SL call me, 
for example, silly, angel, princess, taco, sweets, MilkyWay, monkey, cupcake, 
and of course little tomato.
These are only some of the ones that fall in the "cute" category.
Now I have a list of other names they also call me by but those 
I would place them in the "grown woman" category 
But don't think all the names are as sweet and as flattering as the ones I mentioned above, 
not at all! I have been called every name in the book, you know, 
the ones you find in the "nasty" category but thankfully
those come from the people that I barely know. So they really don't count :P

Name calling is a no no
here in Second Life or real life or any life you are living.
If it's not appropriate and acceptable for a child to do it,
why do adults think it's perfectly fine to go around using such low vocabulary
when talking or referring to another person.
Mmmmm???!!!
We are all adults here, or I am hoping that's the case because honestly
it would be scary to think that a nine or eleven year old is here pretending to be an adult 
in Second Life. Then that would explain somehow such behavior, 
but frankly, all nine and eleven year olds
I know behave 100 times more properly and mature than some of the people
I have to deal here with everyday.

Anyways,
I love how most of my friends have a special way of calling me.
They make me feel so loved and special and that just tickles my heart.

Forever Yours,
~ Lori Novo ~

The Dancing Tree

Featuring
!SOUL

Just Leave Me Alone!

Dear Second Life,

Standing here a memory of a day from not too long ago suddenly popped up.

As I am dancing in the woods alone, suddenly, a tree joined me.
Yes, this tree wasn't there before, but suddenly I find myself under its shadow.
This tree, just like any ordinary tree, with its beautiful green branches, was in a jolly mood and
without an invitation, the tree welcomed itself to join me and soon we are dancing in a circle,
in the woods and away from everyone.
Moments later, a lost soul walks up to us and the dancing tree offers this disoriented being a kiss.
The wanderer refuses the kiss and walks away in a hurry.
Soon after, one by one other people come our way and each time, the loving and jolly
tree offers a kiss to each one. And each time, the tree's kisses were rejected.
But the tree never gave up and kept offering a kiss to anyone that would walk down its shade.
Every time its kisses were rejected, the tree would smile and keept a look out for the next passer.
By the time I finally left, all the tree's kiss offers have been rejected and as I walked away and looked back
I could see the tree still dancing.
If only all those people would had taken the time to see that the tree was actually one of the
most beautiful and sweetest girls in Second Life, they would had probably walked in a circle to get 
a second and maybe even a third kiss from her.

Lesson to be learned here...
Don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case, a tree by its branches.
You may be missing out on something so wonderful and you will never know it ;)

Forever yours,
~ Lori Novo ~

This song "nada que ver" in another words has nothing to do with the post or anything else.
I simply like it and want to share it with you ;)

Natalie Imbruglia & Portishead ~

I ask you to hold me, but you don't wanna hold me,
it doesn't work that way
I want you to love me, but you don't wanna love me,
I'm losing patience now
oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
stop asking for more
I'm goin' home on my own
oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own

leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
just leave me alone

you like me to stroke you
careful I don't choke you, did you read my mind
you say don't be blue
that is the best you can do
I've lost my patience now
[chorus]
