WEEKEND SHOPPING

Lori & Sunny

Still wearing the same clothes from this morning, but what can I say, I love the outfit!

Thought I would wear it for the whole weekend before hanging it in my wardrobe and never seeing

it again. You know how it is, most clothes in Second Life we only get to wear them once,

then they get lost in our inventories forever. Now, I try to buy smart, you know, separate pieces

that I can mix and match with other pieces to create new-different looks.

I often check the Marketplace for those great promotions that offer us complete outfits for

a very low price, which may include everything from hair accessories, jewelry, belts, scarves, 

bags, and footwear. While sometimes I may not really like the outfit, the pieces that come with it

are great pieces to add to other of your more valuable pieces and make your outfit look like

a million dollars. La'La is my favorite brand that I make sure to check out often in the Marketplace.

I always find something great to add to my wardrobe from the complete outfits offered,

usually ranging from 75Lindens to 99Lindens during their promotions.

Just make sure to always try a demo first if one is available.

Now, with the weekend already here and all those great weekend specials waiting for us, the one

thing that I always look for, before clothes, jewelry, or makeup, is hair! Hair is my Second Life

weakness after my Steppenwolf, of course. I am so thankful for all the great hair designers

who, week after week, offer us beautiful hairstyles for a very low price. Makes me want to squeeze

them til they turn purple; that is how grateful I feel. ;) But, what's up with DOUX? Are they ever going 

to spoil us with great weekend sales like all the other hair designers? Hmmm? :P

The one thing you will never ever see me buying, even if it's being offered for one single Linden,

is a shape. I have only purchased one shape in the past, motivated by how great the ad was,

"The Power Of An Attractive Ad".

And of course, I never wore that beautiful shape. My avatar has only worn three shapes in all my

fifteen years in Second Life. The first shape my good friend Catero Revoltion had it specially

made for me when I joined Second Life. It was already waiting for me on day one. The two

other shapes were made by me, one for my static Catwa mesh head and this one now,

for my Lelutka head.

But who's this cutie sitting next to me that kind of reminds me of my Pollito [RL kitty]?

It's no other than Street Cat 2 by .:Bellart Studio:. that you can get for only 96 Lindens

during this weekend's sales. Bellart offers a large variety of wonderful companion/pets

at very affordable prices. This kitty is coming home with me! A good bath to get rid of all the fleas

and he can sleep tonight in our bed with us. Scoot over Steppenwolf, Mr. Beast, Anchovy,

and Sunny, make room for... Ah, we need a name!

Have a good night, everyone!

Come on DOUX! Maybe a ponytail or a tiny little hair bun? Yes? No? Anything? Maybe? 😬

Hello Beautiful World & Happy Friday!

Please excuse the language in my quote, but I couldn't help it; it's just too funny. :P

So here we are once again, after many months with no Paparazzi posts appearing on the blog.

This morning, I woke up determined to find a whole bunch of beautiful women to photograph

and get back on track in the blog. And what better place to find these women than in ERRATIC'S 

super 50% off sale on everything at the main store. The sale started today and will end on September 23rd,

so hurry, hurry, my beautiful ladies. Taxiiii

Today's song comes from our beautiful Olivia Rodrigo, 22-year-old American singer-songwriter

and actress. Olivia began her career as a child, appearing in many commercials. Here you can view her first

commercial for Old Navy. Now, my daughter believes that Olivia's music is for the very young,

young teenagers with broken hearts. I, however, even at "cough-cough," can still very much relate

to her songs. ;)

Anyhow, let's get down to business!

Erratic produced many, and I mean many beautiful ladies to photograph as I expected.

They were like raindrops falling on my head, wait, that's a song. Nevermind.

So here we have them in no particular order. Have an amazing day my beautiful people.

Much love,

Lori Novo

 EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

Pozdravljen lepi svet! [Hello beautiful World!]

Welcome to Lake Bled @ Overland Hills (Moderate)

Inspired by Lake Bled in Slovenia, famous for its crystal-clear waters, small island church, and

serene alpine setting.

Lake Bled, Slovenia: Natural Beauty

-Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite-

Last night, after spending a beautiful time with my Steppenwolf, I felt like going out with Sunny

(my doggie) and exploring one of the many beautiful sims out there. It's been a good while since

I've been out of my studio exploring, and I really enjoyed it very much. I had forgotten how peaceful

and fun it was, shame on me!

My search for a good place to explore took me to beautiful Lake Bled in Slovenia, and I found myself

surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountain peaks and thick forests, where the fresh smell of

nature was hard to ignore. Now, I always like to learn things about the beautiful places that I get to

explore in Second Life, where their creations were inspired by real-life places, for example,

Hotel Del Salto.

On this occasion, during my search to learn real facts about Lake Bled, I discovered that this beautiful

land is full of myths and legends, like that of the dancing fairies and my favorite, the sunken bell... 

The Legend of the Sunken Bell -SOURCE

 "This folk tale tells of a young widow who lived in Bled Castle. After her husband was killed by bandits

and his body thrown in the lake, the young woman was inconsolable. Overcome by grief, she collected

all of the gold and silver that she and her husband had and ordered that it be melted down and cast into

a bell to commemorate her fallen beloved. She intended that the bell be installed in the chapel on Bled

Island where she prayed daily after her husband’s death.

 However, the bell never arrived at its destination. During its transportation to the island, a storm hit,

and a powerful swell overtook the boat, sinking it and its precious cargo to the bottom of the lake.

Defeated, the widow sold her remaining belongings and offered the proceeds for the construction of a

new church on the island. She left Bled for Rome where she joined a monastery and lived out

the rest of her days as a nun.

 After she passed, the Pope heard of her story and was touched by both her misfortune and her good

deeds as a nun. He decided to have a new bell made in her honor and placed in the steeple of the church

on Bled Island. It is believed that anyone who rings this blessed bell three times will have their wish

granted – a promise which tempts visitors to the island again and again.

 Those who visit Lake Bled on Christmas Day are privy to a special treat, as every year on December

25th, the Legend of the Sunken Bell is celebrated in a spectacular light show. Spectators gather around

the lake to watch divers recover a bell in a stunning visual performance blending fire and sound,

bringing the legend to life. Of course, the bell the divers recover is one made of lights, designed purely

for the show. As for the real bell, cast by the young widow sitting at the bottom of the lake, it is said that

if you listen closely in the silence of the night, you can still hear it ringing from its watery resting place."  -SOURCE

HERE, you can read more about the myths and legends about this beautiful lake and five great

attraction facts that will make you want to visit beautiful Lake Bled.

Hope you pay a visit to our own Second Life's Lake Bled, and please show some Linden love during your visit.

Remember that all donations, big or small will be greatly appreciated. The song video is a Slovenian song,

I hope you enjoyed it. ;) Have a beautiful day! ♥

I leave you now with Lake Bled's folk tale about the dancing fairies...

"Lake Bled was created by fairies.

The most well-known folk tale about the origin of Lake Bled tells that the lake was created by fairies.

According to the story, the area of the lake used to be a valley full of luscious grass. The local shepherds

liked to bring their sheep to the valley during the day, and fairies loved to use the soft grass as their

dance floor at night. Afraid that the sheep would eat all of their grass, the fairies asked the shepherds to

build a fence around their dance floor. The shepherds refused to help the fairies, and soon the sheep ate

all the grass and left nothing but bare earth behind. Seeking revenge, the fairies flooded the valley and

created a lake with a small island in the middle, where they could continue to dance at night." -SOURCE

Hello Beautiful World!

May you see the beauty of your days and the blessings that are all around you.

May you find peace in knowing that there are things we can not change and yet,

everything will be ok.

Today I returned after many years to a beautiful place I loved very much and where I used to visit

in the company of a long-lost friend, Peter Jackson. May he be living a beautiful life wherever he is. ♥

Welcome, this is Autumn Trace (Moderate)

Sim Description

The wildlife-rich wetlands of the Autumn Trace come alive as the sun breaks through the mists 

of the morning. Immerse yourself in this romantic and heartfelt destination.

We hope you enjoy your visit and thank you for being mindful of our tenants.

-FLICKR-

Today's visit to this beautiful sim was unplanned. It was 100% spontaneous!

I didn't care how I was dressed or all the things I had to do. It was a sudden need to get out

and go with Sunny on a walk on this beautiful day and Autumn Trace sounded like the best option,

and I wasn't wrong...

Chores can wait, they'll be waiting there for me when I return. However, life was waiting for

me outside. The beautiful day welcomed us with a warm embrace. Showering us in golden hues

as we explored the land. We did run into other visitors. However, I didn't dare to impose them with

a friendly hello and a small chat like I used to do. I have become hushed, quiet, and shy with people.

I find comfort and peace in my loneliness where I can feel safe.

My one and only companion through my days in Second Life is Sunny, my best friend and guardian,

and as long as I have him, I will never feel alone in Second Life ever again.

Does it make me insanely crazy to feel this way about Sunny?

If it does, just let me! Let me be insane, crazy, cuckoo in the head!

If it brings me comfort and happiness, why should it matter?

Sunny will never leave me or break my heart or bite my hand, 

OUCH Sunny! easy boy with that love bite! :P

I love my Sunny just as much as I would love him if I had him in real life.

I Love You Sunny!

Time to go fishing for dinner now.

Sunny, maybe we'll catch some ribs, yum yum.

Wolf Wolf!

Dang it! I guess I'll settle for some yummy fish. ;)

Have a great rest of the day my beautiful people.

Byeee...

See you later...

Adiossss...

Mmm, you hang up first. :P

Feels Like I'm Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Featuring KUNGLERS

Tell me mother...

Will you recognize my eyes when I get to heaven and I look into yours again?

Will you dry my tears and hold me in your arms and never let go?

Will you know that I am your daughter, mother, please tell me...

Will you smile with that beautiful smile of yours that I carry in my heart?

Will I finally be with you again forever?

Please tell me mother.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

~ RAIGN ~

Hello Beautiful World!

Earlier today I visited Luane's World - Le Monde Perdu - Summer 2022 (Moderate), and again I visited

it for a second time today just a few hours ago. However, the second visit became an emotional

one. As I was trying to find a good WLS for my pictures, Knockin' On Heaven's Door started playing.

Suddenly, I became overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions. The moment became perfect, perfect

to laugh and cry, perfect to remember my mother, and perfect to wonder about so many things.

Will my mother know and recognize me if we ever meet again?

As a child, my biggest fear was that my mother would someday die. I would cry and cry every time

I would think about this and my grandma would assure me that my mother wasn't gonna die.

Still, that fear remained in my heart.

My grandmother also used to tell me that when we die, we all become angels.

That in heaven there are no titles like mother, father, brother, sister, friend, etc. We are simple

angels with an immense love for each other. She assured me that if I were to die, my mother would continue to love me just as much, except that wouldn't be a mother's love anymore. It would turn into

an angel from heaven's love. This, of course, wasn't something I wanted to hear. I wanted my mother to

continue loving me from heaven with a mother's love for her daughter, not just from an angel

 to a mortal being.

Now that I am a grown woman and my mother has passed away, the fear continues.

What if my grandmother was right and now my mother has forgotten who I was and now

loves me just the same as she loves everyone else because now that she is an angel the titles 

of mother and daughter no longer exist for her anymore.

Even though the second visit today to this beautiful sim turned into a very emotional moment,

it also brought joy and a sense of peace. It is incredible how even in a virtual world we can

become emotional by our surroundings, to the point that we shed a tear, or two because that

moment in that virtual world has touched our hearts deeply. Has this ever happened to you too?

Thanks For Reading!

From earth to heaven: Love you and miss you so much mom, From your daughter.
