Dirt Is Cowgirl Glitter

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE


"She has a smokey look
sultry sassy sensuous
with her cowboy hat
and her cowgirl ways..."




Well, I'll be damn!
We continue to climb the ladder and take the #12 spot in the
The best Second Life Fashion blogs from thousands of blogs, websites & influencers, and the web 
ranked by traffic, social media followers & freshness.
And we are not even trying. We are just here having fun enjoying the ride, YEEHAW!


Howdy partner, welcome to * 80Days * COPPER CANYON & WIND RIVER (Moderate)

Sim Description
Copper Canyon is a barren frontier area in the Old West. Under the burning sun lies an arid landscape
of red rocks, forming the canyon after which the area was named. WIND RIVER, in contrast, 
is a busy Wild West town amid high green hills. Photogenic, RP


“The Wild West didn't have much in the way of forensics;
when you saw the bullet hole you'd say, 'That's prob'ly what kilt 'im.”
― P.K. Vandcast

LOL, OMG love this quote. It is sooo funny LOL!!! :P
Can't stop laughing.


OMG, the tiny pictures are sooo cute. But if you click them they'll grow. Don't worry, they don't bite. ;)
But really, this location is one of the best I've seen. A great place for riding horses and taking pictures.
One of my favorite things about this place is that most of the buildings are actually decorated
inside. With furniture and all, also great for indoor photography.
How about some cowgirl quotes now from some famous people? Here are some of my favorites. ;)

"Cowgirls don't cry, they just dust off and ride." – Brooks & Dunn
"Good girls are made of sugar and spice, cowgirls are made of whiskey on ice." – Rita Cynder
"She's whiskey in a teacup." – Unknown
"Don't be a lady, be a legend." – Dolly Parton
"A cowgirl is a woman with guts and a horse." – Unknown
"Give a girl the right pair of boots and she can conquer the world." – Marilyn Monroe


Now, we have come to the highlight of my outings, and that is when I get the honor of meeting beautiful
people. During my visit to * 80Days * COPPER CANYON & WIND RIVER I got the chance to meet a
beautiful couple. They are Anna Thespian (annaerwins) and TONY Thespian, both beautiful people both
inside and out. When I first noticed them I smiled because they looked so beautiful together. And
after I talked to them I felt how friendly and kind they both were. Sending a HUGE hug to both of them.
May their love continue growing and they always find much happiness in each other. 


Next, we have Don Logan (donlogan2000), top left pic, absolutely one of the friendliest people
you can meet. He is actually the one who with the friendliness that he showed me broke the funk I was
in about continuing to feature other people in my blog. I had decided not to do it anymore 
for reasons I will explain very soon. But Don reminded me of the joy I feel every time I introduce the
beautiful people I meet in Second Life. So really it is thanks to him that I will start once again going
paparazzi on everyone. ;) Thank you Don, sending a hug your way, Cheers!

Now who doesn't know NadySapa (Top-right Pic)! This beautiful-rare beauty is no other than the owner
and pose designer of Sapa Poses. She is the one person I have run into more times than any other person
I know. I am not sure if she is always following me or if I am the one following her. But no matter who
is following who, it is always wonderful to see her. She always has an interesting and beautiful, different
look. A hug going her way!


Now we finally come to the end.
I was very happy when my Steppenwolf joined me in this exploration.
After riding our horses through the dust, we needed a drink, so we visited the town's saloon
for some whisky.

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): more whiskey here!
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): damn this place is slow
Lori Novo: and make them a double
Lori Novo: AND HURRY!!!
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): wheres the barkeep?

After we got kicked out for being too loud and causing trouble, for good reason, we went back to our
hotel room.

"DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!
Cause I saddle up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy..."

Laters!

Still Unwritten

MONDAY MORNING


Hello Beautiful Monday!
I always wait for you feeling so excited
for all the beautiful moments that I will be experiencing and all the new people 
that I will be meeting this week. 

You are the beginning of the week; all beginnings are beautiful.
Beginnings bring forth hope and a willingness to try, do, and be better.
Today, you are a blank sheet of paper where I can write the best story ever
using words that hopefully can bring joy, laughter, and inspiration to others,
what a beautiful privilege that is. I feel so honored. Thank you!



This is the beginning of my story, a story that is written week by week.
Each blog post is a chapter to this week's story.
And by Friday, this week's story will be finished with a happy ending, I just know it. ;)
And then I get to do it all over again next week, and the next, and the next...


So according to Flickr, Truth Hawks (Truth Hair Designer) was the person 
I had the most interaction with last year.
Why not? Truth and I go way back and I mean waaaay back. Truth hair was the first
hair I bought when I first started Second Life and the only hair that I keep wearing for years to come.
I remember the great 75L$ sales he used to have back then on all hair, including new releases.
We are talking about eleven - twelve years ago. It is great to see how his generosity to his customers still continues by providing beautiful group gifts to all his group members, not to mention the great weekend 100L$ hair sales 
you can find every weekend that earn you store credit with every purchase that you make. Thank you Truth! 

But going back to Flickr, I have a love-hate relationship with it.
I even divorced it once back in July 2023, remember? [Filing Divorce Papers!]
It was so bad that for the first time ever since 2011, last year was the most inactive Flickr year for me.
I tried as much as I could to stay away because by simply opening the page I was bombarded
with so much anxiety.

The proof of this is in the numbers you will find in MyFlickrYear2023 status report
where you will notice all numbers are very low in every category.


But while the numbers are low on my Flickr, my blogger status went up. :P
I went from #17 last year to #15 this year.


The best Second Life Fashion blogs from thousands of blogs, websites & influencers, and the web 
ranked by traffic, social media followers & freshness.


This is all for now my beautiful people. It has been a while since I posted a MONDAY MORNINGS
blog post for you which I love to do since I bring them to you from the comfort of my home. ;)

Til next time, take care everyone!
Much love,
Lori Novo

If Only For A Moment

🇺🇦 Ukraine In My Heart ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¦


 If only for a moment
Each one of us would put ourselves in the shoes
of those who are suffering due to wars, 
and live their lives just for a day, an hour, or even a moment,
and feel their pain, their losses, and their terror.
Maybe, just maybe we would wake up
and put an end to the killing of thousands of innocent people,
the destruction of their beautiful cities, and the displacement of families.

Maybe if only for a moment 
we remember that we were all created equally,
feeling the same love for our children, parents, spouses, friends, and family.
We all have the same fears
and feel pain the same way, 
then maybe, 
we would begin to see our enemy as a friend, a brother, or a sister.

War kills everything, 
Everything beautiful and innocent... on both sides.

-Lori Novo

All the Good Girls Go to Hell



Hello Beautiful World!

Do all good girls really go to hell? Well, I don't know about that but aren't we there already, good and
bad and in between. Sometimes the hell is not a place but a state of mind. We carry the hell with us
when we let the negativity get to us. The negativity that we encounter in life with problems or the
people that we allow to have too much control over us. Yes, we allow it because without our 
permission these people wouldn't be able to affect us so negatively.

The other day while talking to one of my friends we started talking about this type of people,
the ones that like to rain on everybody's parades, and I told him that to me this type of people are
just such a minor nuisance that I really don't give much attention to. Shoo, go away fly!
Yes, with all my years in Second Life, I learned to not mind the little things, in this case, the little
people whose only purpose seems to be to cause drama for everyone else. So yes dear friends,
we hold the power within ourselves to control the effect that other people have over us. No one
can pop our bubble without our permission, and with that said, I will ALWAYS choose heaven
to fill my days.

Anyway, changing the subject to something positive, this past week was a very good one for me.
As I said before, all weeks are good but some just go over the top with extra goodness. I was
honored with three Flickr group covers and a spread in one of Second Life's best magazines with
one of my favorite pictures When Doves Cry. I was also so happy to get sponsored again by Lina Nerido
truly one of my three top designers. And finally, I got the chance to collaborate for the first time
ever with Memoire, I am so excited since this is a brand that carries a different style from what I am used
to. So many great achievements in just one week, I know. ;)

Before I go now, I would like to mention that on the top picture, the eye makeup was edited/added.
I just felt like experimenting with my editing tools just for fun.

So let's start this week with a positive mind and make it an amazing one!

Much Love,
Lori Novo
