Fill The Silence


“I was overwhelmed with the urge to fill every silence with words.
Silence to me was a void in the universe that could suck us all in.
It was my assignment to block this deadly void with words and save the world.”
― Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀

You Know How I Feel

For My Steppenwolf


“Tell me again what you said,” he says, climbing over me, his body against mine.
“What?” I can barely think.
“That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.”
“I hate you,” I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it again, over and over. A litany. An
enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”
He kisses me harder.
“I hate you,” I breathe into his mouth. “I hate you so much that sometimes
I can’t think of anything else.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King




Hello Beautiful World!
Today I woke up burning with passion for my man. So I decided to take these pictures and send them
to him and see how long it takes him to text me back. Let me tease him a bit while he is in his
important meetings. I bet it won't be long. He will excuse himself for a few minutes and ask
someone else to take over while he gives me a little time. ;) Purrrrrrrrr...
Now, later tonight, I can almost hear him say, "Baby, what do you do this to me?"
"But baby, what do you mean? What did I do?" ;)

My ladies, it is so much fun to tease our men. Make them suffer a little, but just a little.
Just make sure to deliver at the end. ;) Tease should be a fun game, not a punishment.
This keeps our men on their feet, without a minute to waste on boredom. Pure excitement and fun.


For this photo shoot, I actually went back to the year 2019 and borrowed the hair (Tableau Vivant // Holly)
and the beautiful black lingerie (NANIKA - Iris  Bodysuit Dark RARE).
I wore these two items back in September 2019, view Here.

This is all for now my beautiful people.
Keep wearing your beautiful smiles and spreading the love.
Over & Out!
Lori Novo

Never Enough

For My Steppenwolf


"I'm trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause darling, without you..."



Hello Beautiful World!
If you ask me if I have any regrets in my love for my Steppenwolf,
I have to say yes, I do.
I regret not having found him sooner, so I could have been loving him longer.
I regret the times I have gotten upset at him for stupid little things, when instead I could
have spent those minutes happily enjoying his love.
There are many things I regret, because I am not perfect, only human, and I have made
mistakes. But those mistakes have helped me realize how wonderful and big this love is.
My Steppenwolf is the greatest man I've ever met, and we have the rest of our lives to keep
loving each other, but honestly, that will never be enough. I need at least another lifetime to
show this man how much I love him, to make him as happy as he deserves, and to be his
every night, endlessly, and totally his... forever.

-Lori Novo

"All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough..."


"For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me..."

Unstoppable Today



HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!

“Whether you're climbing mountains or just trying to survive Monday,
keep your eyes on the prize. 
Life's a marathon, not a sprint, and the finish line is reserved for those who refuse to quit.
So, lace up your shoes, take a deep breath, & keep pushing forward.
Every step, no matter how small, gets you closer to your dreams.
Quitting is easy, but where's the fun in that?
Stick with it because that's where the magic happens.
Stay focused, stay determined, & let success chase you down!”
― Life is Positive



Hello Beautiful World!
Saturdays used to be my favorite day of the week, until now. Right at the moment I started
putting together this blog post, I came to the realization that Mondays get me just as happy and excited
as Saturdays do. Saturdays are like a sweet summer vacation for me. Not the type of vacation to rest,
that would be too boring. It is the one day of the week when we need to fill up our energy tank
with exciting activities and adventures. Go out and enjoy the sunny day, put on a sexy bikini, and go
wrestle the waves, leaving footprints on the sand as you walk down the beach. Dance in the middle of a
crowd and leave them wondering what nuthouse you escaped from. Or better yet, use the day to do
beautiful acts of kindness. For example, buy cold drinks or a few meals and give them to the homeless.
I always seem to notice more smiles and happy faces on Saturdays, don't know why. Maybe it's just me
who sees everything more beautiful on that particular day.


Now, Mondays, I know exactly why they have become my other favorite day of the week.
Mondays are a gift, beautifully wrapped up that we get to open at the beginning of each week.
They are full of empty/clean days that we need to fill up with adventures, laughter, and the chance
to create new memories. We never really know what we will be getting and who we will be running into
or meeting for the first time; that is the exciting part. I get chills just thinking about it. ;)
Starting with a positive mind is very crucial. It means we have already set the direction of how
we will be navigating our new week. Yes, we might run into some bumps here and there,
but that is just life. The thing is, how we turn those bumps into something better, or even great.

"When life gives you lemons,
Make watermelon juice
and leave them wondering how you did that."

Now, that is the attitude!
We have the power to put all our love into everything we say and do, and every decision we make
to make each new day a beautiful one. Be fearless. Be strong. Be unstoppable.

"I'll put my armour on, I'll show you that I am

I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game

I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today..."
-Lyrics

I Just Woke Up From A Dream


He walked up to me, locking his eyes with mine. I was confused. What could he possibly want?
And almost in a whisper, he says, "This is for you," and plays the following song...




It was awkward to tell you the truth, but I listened to the song quietly with my eyes looking down.
I wasn't sure what to do, smile? No, that would have been wrong. Might have sent the wrong message.
I was careful not to even make a sound. As the song continued, I kept thinking about what I could
possibly say to him once the song was over. I didn't want to come off as rude or worse,
easy. Perhaps a polite thank you or a "good song." But everything I came up with in my head, I
felt would be inappropriate to say. As the song continued playing, it just made me feel more
and more uncomfortable. I had no idea he felt that way about me. I had always treated him as one
of my good friends and only that, a good friend. Finally, the song ended, and we both were about to
say something to each other, not really sure what, but we didn't. He turned around and walked away,
and I stayed there, standing, not knowing what to think. Damn!
True story.

"If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
If the party was over and our time on Earth was through
I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
Ooh..."
-Lyrics

Old Friend Where You Headed For Now?


“No, I don't miss you... Not in a way that one is missed.
But I think of you.
Sometimes.
In the way that one might think of the summer sunshine
On a winter night...”
― Sreesha Divakaran




Hello Beautiful World!
There was a time when my list of friends was so long that it would actually take me almost an hour
just to say a quick hello to each one of them and wish them a beautiful day. This was something I would
do every morning as soon as I logged into Second Life. It was important to me to let them know I loved
them and that I was glad to see them online. But for a few years now, my list of friends is down to
a very few names. Now, there is not a day that goes by that an old friend does not come to mind, and then
I find myself remembering many of the beautiful moments I got to share with them.
And I begin to wonder how they are doing and if they remember me too.

“Remember that people are only guests in your story - 
the same way you are only a guest in theirs - so make the chapters worth reading.”
― Lauren Klarfeld


So in the chapter of their stories, I highlight their names surrounded by happy and sad faces, and with
full hearts and broken ones, because remembering a lost friend is always bittersweet. I usually find
myself smiling while tearing up. The beautiful memories remain in my heart, and I only wish they
had stayed til THE END of my story.

Much love,
Lori Novo

BLAST FROM THE PAST


“The diamond chandelier casts a warm glow across the shimmering silk dress,
spinning into romantic colors.
Rich bright gold, soft blush, and glittering champagne.”
― Kiana Krystle




Hello Beautiful World!
Today, I want to start the day by honoring a beautiful gown from the past.
This is the EMMA Gown by PURPLEMOON CREATIONS, designed by our very talented Second Life
designer Poulet Koenkamp. I featured this beautiful gown when it was first released back in November,
2014, in a blog post that I titled Take Me In Your Arms. Wow, how time flies! Good thing we don't get
old in Second Life. Unfortunately, fashion does. As you might have guessed, the gown is no longer
available. It was created for the classic avatar in five sizes (xs, s, m, l, and xl), like they used to create
fashion back then. So you would think there's no way it can fit on today's mesh bodies, right?
Well, I was shocked when I tried it on my Maitreya body, using the alpha mask that was included with
the gown, and it actually fit almost perfectly, just for a very minor detail on the top back, barely
noticeable, which can be easily hidden by wearing long hair. 


Now the gown is composed of several separate pieces that I can make copies of and use in other ways
for my photography. For example, with the flower adornments, I was able to unlink and modify them, so
I can make beautiful flower arrangements for my hair and matching bouquets. Now, don't think for a
minute that I'll be destroying the gown to create new things with the flowers. I'll be using copies of the
pieces I need for that. I have much respect for the beautiful gown and the hard work Ms Poulet put into
designing it. Not to mention that I still love it just as much as I did when it was first created. My
beautiful EMMA gown will stay with me for at least another twelve years. ;)
By the way, my hair is from WINGS (EF0208).

This is all for now my beautiful people. Have an amazing day everyone!
Much love,
Lori Novo
