Basta! Retirement Sale

Standing with an army of two.

Basta! store is have an easter egg hunt, both these outfits were free the Easter egg hunt at Basta's retirement sale and there are other outfits there on sale for under 100SL.  There are seven easily findable easter eggs.

This photo is about my sister, without her I would be lost.  We go through thick and thin together, fun times and hard times and when I am with her, I am standing with an army of two!  Together we are strong.  Here is a song about it by Ellie Goulding "Army".

I know that I've been messed up

You never let me give up

All the nights and the fights

And the blood and the breakups

You're always there to call up

I'm a pain, I'm a child, I'm afraid

But yet you understand

Yeah like no one can

Know that we don't look like much

But no one fucks it up like us

16 and you never even judged me

Matter of fact I always thought you were too cool for me

Sitting there in the caravan

All the nights we've been drunk on the floor

And yet you understand

Yeah like no one can

We both know what they say about us

But they don't stand a chance because

When I'm with you

When I'm with you

I'm standing with an army

I'm standing with an army

When I'm with you

When I'm with you

I'm standing with an army

Standing with an army

Dark times, you could always find the bright side

I'm amazed by the things that you would sacrifice

Just to be there for me

How you cringe when you sing out of tune

But yet it's everything

So don't change a thing

We both know what they say about us

But they don't stand a chance because

When I'm with you

When I'm with you

I'm standing with an army

I'm standing with an army

When I'm with you

When I'm with you

I'm standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

(I'll be yours)

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

I'm standing with an army

Yet you understand

Yeah like no one can

We both know what they say about us

When I'm with you

When I'm with you

I'm standing with an army

I'm standing with an army

When I'm with you

When I'm with you

I'm standing with an army

They don't have a chance because

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing near you

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

Standing with an army

When I'm with you

Standing with an army

I took this photo with a new viewer, Black Dragon and I think I am a convert!  Looks quite nice quality photo.

Welcome Spring!

Even though we had hailstones yesterday, I am looking forward to spring and flowers and sun!  The crocuses, daffodils, blue bells look lovely this time of year and are a reminder that spring is here.

My outfit is by Up Against the Wall on a MM board.

My garden is a combination of a subscriber gifts from Finishing Touches (the bunny chair, spring sign and a bowl of tulips) and Two Moon Gardens gifts and hunt items (back to nature with spade, planter, poppies and bird bath).

JK Trend 1000L store credit card

JK Trend currently have a no group MM board that has a 1000L store credit card, there is only a small in-world store that has all of these items availble and you should be able to buy quite a lot with this card.
1.- rez MM item on ground 2.-open and copy or accept folder 3.-ignore folder and look for an item that sneaked into your objects called "JKTrends L$1000 gift card"  4.-wear said object when you go to store to make it work 5. Once worn a little screen popped up with 1000L balance, 6. then I clicked on an item i wanted in the shop, it appeared on the card as an image and I clicked "Buy now" on the card.

Happy shopping!

Afternoon tea

Happy Easter everyone!   

So I had to have a look what was for offer at the The Wash 10L sale, I found two outfits I like.  This outfit by DWD has shiny lavendar pants and a crop top, I also bought the platform sneakers which have a hud to change pattern and lace colour, both were 10L each.

This other outfit I liked is by Blithesome.

She walks, in starlight in another world

"All light is sacred to the Eldar, but the Wood Elves love best the light of the stars."

The music from Lord of the Rings by Howard Shore is just awesome.  He wrote themes for several of the characters or places. A part I particularly like is the story of the love between Kili the dwarf and Tauriel the elf.  Its a sad tale of a love that could never be and unfortunately was just a dream.   

Anyway about my outfit!  It was a steal from Up against the wall as 50L and also you can use your store gift card if you won one on the recent MM board.  It is an elven style dress and comes with ears and the nice foot chain.

Top of the morning to you!

... And the rest of the day to yourself!

Ever wondered what that meant?

The phrase is Irish in origin but now very rarely used in Ireland (except as a sterotypical "Irishism"). It simply means "the best of the morning to you" - perhaps from the idea of unhomogenised milk, where the cream rises to the top.

In celebration of St. Patricks day, I have put together this outfit, all practically free of course!

Somebody said you got a new friend

Does she love you better than I can?

There's a big black sky over my town

I know where you're at, I bet she's around

Yeah, I know it's stupid

I just gotta see it for myself

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

I'm just gonna dance all night

I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line

Stilettos and broken bottles

I'm spinning around in circles

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

So far away but still so near

The lights go on, the music dies

But you don't see me standing here

I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own
