Dance Me To The End Of Love

FLICKR

“It flowed and swam around her, filling her blood,

and if she could have done so, she would have melted into the melody,

become the rolling drums, the soaring violins, the clashing cymbals with the counter-beat,

the horns and reeds with their high-arcing song.

There wasn't enough space inside her for the sound,

for all it made her feel- not enough space in her mind, her heart, her body; 

and all she could do to honour it, worship it, was dance.”

― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Silver Flames

The World Is Yours!

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

“There's a strange sensation you start having at a certain age:

your memories flash in front of your eyes without asking permission.”

― Al Pacino

Scarface - The World is Yours

Hello Beautiful World and a Happy Tuesday to all!

Today, Sunny and I come to you from a very beautiful location, small and cozy, and very inviting.

Welcome, this is

Autumn at LeLoo's World Mainland HQ (Moderate)

"Step into a living postcard this fall, where crimson and amber leaves drift lazily through the air,

blanketing winding paths that whisper with quiet charm. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a

scenic photo op, or simply a moment to unwind, this autumn wonderland welcomes you. Come sit a

spell and soak in the vibrant colors, crisp air, and cozy atmosphere that only this time of year can offer."

This is a place where you can't get lost because of how small it is compared to other Autumn locations. 

But it is exactly that that gives it its charm. You will find many great locations to make beautiful

memories and take great pictures. It is there that I found a beautiful sign (First Picture) that

really made me smile.

What a beautiful reminder!

Indeed, the world is yours. There is a whole world waiting for all of us to enjoy and explore,

and watch the seasons march by, always bringing new hope and new beginnings.

The world is mine, yours, ours!

No one can take that away from us, not a single tiny piece. Never walk away from who you are or what

is yours because of others. Stay firm and strong and protect and claim what is rightfully yours.

The beautiful sign that inspired me for this post was created by hive. You can also find it HERE, in the

MarketPlace for 200Lindens. Three versions included. I should say I often find something 

so beautiful in the sims that I explore to bring back home with me. Souvenirs that I add to our home

and will remind me of my visits to beautiful lands. This time was this sign; other times have been

animals, plants, home decorations, etc. It can really be anything.

The “The World Is Yours” quote originates from a scene in the American crime drama film Scarface (1983).

written by Al Pacino and Oliver Stone, and directed by Brian De Palma. 

Scarface - "The World Is Yours" Scene

This scene actually gives me chills every time I watch it. It shows the very moment he realizes

that he has made it out, the definition of a dream, a war, finally reached and won. This movie is hands down one of

my favorite movies of all time. Absolutely legendary!

"One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history for its symbolism."

-yashvardhansinghsolanki6391

Al Pacino's Scarface film is a remake of the 1932 film, based on the 1930 novel by Armitage Trail,

and it tells the story of a Cuban refugee.

Scarface Official Trailer #1 - Vince Barnett Movie (1932)

Now, I am sure“The World Is Yours” quote may have been used in other movies as well, not really sure.

But for today, I want to make it all about Al Pacino (Alfredo James Pacino), age 85, American actor,

well known for his intense performances in some of the greatest films ever made, earning him many awards.

(Standing Ovation!) 👏

This is all for now my beautiful people.

I thank you so much for your visit today and hope you enjoyed your stay.

Continue to have a most wonderful day and enjoy YOUR world, that is 100% rightfully yours!

I leave you now with some of Al Pacino's best quotes. 

Much Love,

Lori Novo

Sweetest Taste Of An Ageless Rush

“what is love? what was love for me?

it was when I believed I was the happiest person on earth if I had only him and nothing else

it was when I looked at him and felt a pain in my chest over how I would find anything more beautiful

it was when I started writing cause what he made me feel was so intense

it couldn't just remain in my thoughts

it was pain, a feeling that emptied out my chest and ate me alive knowing just because I love you,

it didn't entitle me to have you.

My love for you was like an ocean slowly drowning me

and I was clinging to the last piece of driftwood that was my hope.”

Hello Beautiful World!

After the storm comes the... beautiful Friday?

Is that how it goes? I am fairly certain that is correct. ;)

My Pollito and I survived the storm last night, yay! There were over 2000 lightning strikes

recorded in my area, and much heavy rain and very strong winds. Pretty scary.

By the time my Steppenwolf came to see me, my stress level was over the top, happy and grateful

that it was over and that we were safe, but still shaking.

Many surrounding areas lost electricity, but I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't.

Now, after the storm comes the cleaning up. Tree branches, leaves, and my neighbor's trash.

I woke up to a yard covered in trash, probably a month's worth of trash, not kidding.

Call me crazy, but after last night's scare, I thought the yard actually looked very festive and happy this morning,

colorful with all the trash, like a beautiful spring garden. ;) Thank you neighbor for the trash!

Time for dinner now.

Wishing you an exciting and restful weekend ahead. Stay safe and happy, always!

 SONG OF THE DAY

I heard the bli bli bli sound, resonating in my heart,

of promises never meant to be kept.

They left with the wind.

I looked at my reflection of what was left of me

in the river full with my tears

and saw nothing, I was gone, I had died,

I had died...

Mmm, how about that? A bit dramatic? Nooo way! :P

I needed something to go with Sia's beautiful song "I Forgive You".

By the way, I dedicate this blog post to my kitty Ween who is in heaven.

My beautiful tattoo reminds me so much of her, which reminds me that I have to send

a Thank You to Angelo Venus (Tattoo Designer) for gifting it to me. :)

Have a good one everyone!

I Forgive You

- Sia -

"I felt the life, felt the life

Slip out of me

Black as night, as night

Blue as the sea, yeah

I would have done anything

Would have given everything for you

I would have done anything

Would have given everything for you

I-I-I, I forgive you, you know not what you have done

Oh, I-I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on

Oh, I-I, I forgive you, you could not see right from wrong

Oh, I, and I love you always in my heart, you'll live on

You'll live on

Good people sin when yearning's

Unspoken-en, ooh

You broke my heart, broke my heart

But it's still beating

Oh, I would have done anything

Would have given everything for you

I would have done anything

Would have given everything for you

I-I-I, I forgive you, you know not what you have done

Oh, I-I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on

Oh, I-I, I forgive you, you could not see right from wrong

Oh, I, and I love you always in my heart, you'll live on

You'll live on."

Hello Babes & Bunnies & Buttholes

MONDAY MORNING & OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Oh lord! I know I am running way late with this MONDAY MORNING post,

but better late than not this week, right?

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

Most mornings I wake up feeling very optimistic, all bright and bushy-tailed, as is today's case.

But then there are those mornings when I am just not ready to get out of bed. Those are the days when I

am not really myself all sunshine and rainbows, but more like I wake up wearing a dark cloud over my

head, like a hat. Then, I start doubting myself and everything I do.

"Hello, hello, hello, how low?

Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us..."

-lyrics

Smells Like Teen Spirit

- Nirvana - 

Have I done enough?

Have I really made a difference?

Is all these good enough?

These questions keep bouncing back and forth in my head when I have that black cloud

over me. WHOA! It really gives me a headache. I bet we've all been there when we questioned our

purpose in the world. But it is good to always keep in mind that those dark clouds are only momentary,

they will pass and our purpose will become clear again. And once again, our confidence and energy will hit

full highs leading us in the right direction. Happy, but just as important, making others happy as well.

So today I added a new piece to my desk. Can you guess which one it is? Here's a little hint for you,

"Where the sun don't shine." Mmm, nothing yet? Ok one more hint, "Are you on drugs because I can see your crack."

I think we've got a winner, yaaay. Who said the butthole bear planter?

Yes, you are the winner and you win... drum roll please   ... Not A Damn Thing! :P

Actually, you win the title of the Butthole Winner  Congratulations!

I do love fun pieces like this that are cute and funny like boobs and buttholes and...

never mind. :P This new piece is the Astralia - #ButtCrew Pot (Bear) and I think everyone should get one.

A real piece of art! ;)

Now, if you haven't noticed, I am wearing the same beautiful bunny tattoo that 乙σєη Şɨʅєηt was

wearing in our previous blog post. I just had to get it and it is perfect for Easter which is coming on

March 31st. And here is where you can get it " 0ni'babe : somebunny loves you tattoo."

By the way, Toshiemi としゑ美 (ame.ayashi) which is one of the beautiful geishas that I went to see

perform on Saturday, has so kindly invited me to their tea house on Thursday to hang out, have dinner,

chat, and probably play games. I am so thankful for such a beautiful invitation. I am really hoping to

make it and spend some time with these amazing ladies. <3

In the middle of this photoshoot, I was surprised by my husband when he logged in for a few minutes

before his work meeting started, just to check on me and give me some love...

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): Hi baby

Lori Novo: hi my love

Lori Novo: i love u baby

Lori Novo: yes my love

Lori Novo: muahhhhhhhhhh

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muchos besos!

Lori Novo: TE AMOOOOOOO

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): sexy thang

Lori Novo: ;)))

Second Life: Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo) is offline.

Before I go I just want to mention that the popular phrase "See yu later alligator" is an expression

meaning goodbye which is often followed by an "In a while crocodile". This phrase is literally a song's

title, written back in 1955 by Lousiana songwriter Robert Charles Guidry under his professional name, Bobby Charles.

Time for me to go for now. Hope your day has been beautiful.

Much love,

Lori Novo

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!

Unwritten

- Natasha Bedingfield - 

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.

90 BEST SECOND LIFE FASHION BLOGS

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

❤
