The Indian princess of Zaara's land

waits for her loved one to come and hold her.

But the hours passed and he never came

and by night, her heart was broken...

Hello Beautiful World!

This post is dedicated to my good friend Mark Weinberg (markweinberg) who happens to be the friend

who gave me this beautiful gift that I am wearing today,  this is Chandni Lehenga Outfit by Zaara.

He was so kind as to send me the Fatpack for this beautiful outfit. Now I have every color of it to wear

depending on my mood for the day.

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Hope you like it

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): The Chandni Lehenga is an old release, but it is still one of

the prettiest work of Zaara

Lori Novo: Omg Mark, thank you so much for such a beautiful gift, you are too kind

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): You are welcome, Ms. Novo

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I am so glad you liked them. Do try them when you have time :)

Lori Novo: You sent me every color omg :)

Lori Novo: Thank you!

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): You will create magic with them. I am sure

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg) smiles

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I can't wait to see you do that in them ha ha

Lori Novo: yes, I can't wait, for sure next week :))

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Yay!

Lori Novo: thank you so much! :))

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): You are most welcome, Ms. Novo

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Enjoy :)

Lori Novo: Thank you, and please call me Lori :)

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Sure Lori :)

Lori Novo: :)

Today I chose red because there was a time that I was so obsessed with this color. 

Red was for many years my favorite color and even though I still love it,

 now I am more inclined toward any pastel shades.

I also chose Zaara's land to show you my beautiful gown because that is the place where I met Mark.

Mark continues to make me laugh and brighten my day every time I talk to him. All our conversations

are so funny that I tell him I could write a book just with our chats and it would probably become a best seller. 

A good title for it could be The Silly Twins.

The other day when I IMed him to say hi, he didn't reply. Later on, I came to find out that I had IMed

him at a very bad time if you know what I mean. ;) 

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): You BOOOed me at the wrong time .. lol

Lori Novo: oh sorry, were you like...."busy"? wink wink

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I was making love, the last thing I wanted was to call my partner 

by your name :-P

Lori Novo: lol, u silly

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): That would have been WAR

However, he wanted to make sure that I wouldn't think that he's always in "action" when he doesn't reply to me.

But that's exactly what I am thinking now!

Zaara's beautiful sim (General) holds very sweet memories for me. This was the very first place I went to right

after I created my Second Life account and rezzed inworld. Catero Revolution had sent me a TP and for

about my first two weeks in SL, Zaara's sim was my home. That's where I practice walking in a straight line, 

make turns as I walked, and change my clothes, etc.

Now the sim has changed so much, it is probably about a fourth of what it used to be but it is still as beautiful

as before. You can still find very beautiful areas to take pictures, relax, and dance...

This is Pia Klaar and one of her friends dancing while I was exploring around.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Pia who is a very friendly lady. She was so kind as to take time from 

her work to talk to me about the beautiful videos she records inworld.

This is her YouTube channel, please make sure you check it out, it is truly great.

You have no idea how much I am enjoying meeting all these beautiful people. I honestly wake up

every day eager to see what great things Second Life has for me. ;) 

Anyway, this post is dedicated to Mark for being such a great friend and putting up with me

which I know is not an easy job. :P

Take care my beautiful people and keep spreading that love around!

Much Love,

Lori Novo

Day at the Library

Save me, O dear Lori !

Hello Beautiful World!

Please meet my new friend Mark Weinberg whom I am starting to believe is my silly twin.

I think we both have the exact same sense of humor and I love it.

Yesterday he made me laugh so much that my jaw and stomach were in pain, I just couldn't stop 

laughing. He really likes to goof around as much as I do and it's been years since I had felt this

comfortable around someone that will play along with my silliness.

Mark is not only the perfect match for my goofiness but he's also a true gentleman, sweet and kind.

He's actually the friend who sent me a beautiful gift the other day and that I promised to show you all

this week.

During the whole time, we spent together yesterday, he kept my Steppenwolf in mind...

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I wanted to show this place to you.

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): You can be here with your Steppenwolf and dance

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): and let me show a place for you two

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): This is a table for two :))

Lori Novo: omg this is so beautiful

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Watch sunset, sip on champagne and talk sweet :))

Lori Novo: tysm for sharing :)

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): It will be much more beautiful with your special man :))

Lori Novo: for sure :))

See what I mean?

He is very respectful of me and my relationship with my Steppenwolf something that many

men don't do. I appreciate and admire this so much from him and I am sure my Steppenwolf 

does too.

During these hard times due to COVID-19 and everything else that is been going around the world, 

it is good to find ways to continue enjoying life with as much laughter as we can get. I don't mind

goofing around as long as I am happy and laughing and having someone else there with me to share

this laughter with, this gotta be the best, I am telling you!

Mark has not only given me one beautiful gift, actually, he's also given me two other ones that I cherish

like gold, that is, all the laughter that he brought to me yesterday and his friendship that I hope lasts

for a very long time.

What continues is the story about our visit yesterday to The Looking Glass Library.

As much as I love to write, I will let this story narrate itself using our chat.

It is funny, goofy, and very long I warn you but well worth reading. ;)

Our goofy encounter started on Tempura Island...

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): welcome to Tempura

Lori Novo: ty :))

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I found a nice place at the top to keep an eye over the whole place

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): The thing is, I am scared of heights and this dinning hall 

doesn't have a perimeter wall ... lol

Lori Novo: you gonna fall

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Sssssh, don't scare me

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Hmmm, these dance balls, they don't work without two people?

Lori Novo: some don't, they don't work even with 2 ppl

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): ha ha

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Threesome I guess, family affair

Lori Novo: yeah, you need the auntie and a close cousin to dance

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Ha ha

Lori Novo: lol

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): At least this one works, but I am on the edge .....

Lori Novo: i am telling u, you gonna fall

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): and I see you down there

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Save me, O dear Lori !

Lori Novo: lol sorry can't do, I don't want to fall too :P

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): omg!!! You too scared of heights

Lori Novo: yup, I mean, of course I am not!

Lori Novo: look, there's a girl on the bridge's roof, she's not afraid

Lori Novo: I think she wants to save you

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Damn, she is courageous. On a sloping roof she is wearing heels

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Or is suicidal

Lori Novo: lol

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I will roll down the other side, hopefully I choose the right side 

to roll down

Lori Novo: fall in the water, I just hope u know how to swim

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): that was scary, I tell you, my heart skipped a beat in real

Lori Novo: lol

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I don't see you joining me on the rooftop, 

because you are NOT scared of heights !

Lori Novo: ok ok, TP me I'll show you that I am not scared at all

Lori Novo: but if u TP me and I fall off I'll be coming after you

Lori Novo: so u better run

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Nah, I won't let you fall

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I don't want the wolf coming after me because 

her lady broke her legs

Lori Novo: lol

Oh, you better believe it!

my Steppenwolf will crush every bone in your body if anything happens to me while I am in your company:P 

After rescuing him and bringing him down safely to the ground all the people in Tempura kept cheering

"LORI IS A HEROOOOO, OUR HEROOOO, 

SHE'S THE GREATEST HEROOOOO, EVERRRRRR!"

Thank you, Thank you. (humbly bowing down),

we, then teleported to The Looking Glass, where as soon as we landed...

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Let me fly to the Library, then I will TP you there

Hold it there mister,  but I thought you were scared of heights...

Mark, did you just lie to me??? >:(

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Check out this place ehre

Lori Novo: omg, how do u find all these spots

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): wanderer Ms. :))

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I hope you don't hate books

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Isn't is lovely?

Lori Novo: it is, this place is amazing

No, Mark, I don't hate books of course not, why would you even say that?

Hold on, did you hear something or someone told you something?

Ok, who went with false rumors and told my new friend here that I hate books?

Was it you in the blue shirt eating Flaming Hot Fritos while sitting in front of your computer?

Or was it the lady with the ponytails?

Somebody must have told this man something!

As a matter of fact, I love books, I love them so much that I love smelling them and sometimes

I even go as far as to read them.

Of course, I know how to read, who is saying that I don't?

I know how to read as much as I know how to write, come on people, give me a break... :P

Now my beautiful readers, let's continue with our story...

Sweet Day, Sweet Dreams

My heart recognizes this place as one of the places that once brought me some of my happiest smiles.

Yet sometimes what once made us smile can then cause us so many tears.

Still, the memories are beautiful and well worth lived.

No regrets for the moments, only for the way things end.

It is close to 1a.m. as I write these words to you.

I am sitting in this beautiful sim, which continues to be one of my favorite ones 

and which is very special to me. 

Cammino e Vivo Capovolto

Ocho Tango Place @ Restropect (Moderate)

Soon I'll go to sleep and dream about my Steppenwolf whom I adore, I hope he is dreaming of me 

right now. ;) Oh, how I wish he was here with me at this very moment dancing to the music of this beautiful 

tango that is playing in the Ocho Tango Cafe, not too far from where I am.

Ojos Tristes

~ Astor Piazzolla ~

♪

Only one couple dances there at the moment, and I am the only other person in the sim,

I love this peaceful solitude after a beautiful day of getting sweet surprise after sweet surprise.

Yes, my day was sweet, made two new friends, Aunt Flo & Mark, and received a beautiful gift

 from one of them. I'll show you soon my gift ;)

Now, I'll go and lay me down to sleep,

and pray the Lord, my soul to keep,

If I should die before I 'wake

I pray the Lord, my soul, to take.

Goodnight Beautiful World!

and she closes her eyes...
