When the fire goes out

Fire Gone Out 010

“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
~ Albert Schweitzer

There are so many events going on right now that you sort of have the pick of the litter in choosing where to go.  I stopped over at the Secret Affair again today to see if there was anything new since my first quick visit and found it almost completely empty when just days ago everyone was clamoring to get in.  That’s just the way things go in Second Life these days.

One of the events is the Wayward Carnival that will run from July 15 thru July 30 and while I haven’t made it there myself I’ve seen some great stuff already.  Plus I hear it has a boardwalk and carnival rides you can enjoy.  I’m showing the banyan tree and cattails that Little Branch has at the event that are mesh and so realistically textured and will make great additions to your landscape.

The Hair Fair is still going and I hope you’ve gone by now, because with very transaction made at the Hair Fair a portion of the proceeds goes to Wigs for Kids.  The Wigs for Kids is a non-profit organization that provides hair replacement systems and support for children who lose their hair due to medical issues.   I posted about the event (Hair Fair 2015) on my other blog where I feature more home and garden and main stream Second Life stuff.  At the event you can also pick up some very nice gifts by the participating designers.  I’m wearing hair by Exile that was a gift.

The rest of the items pictured are pretty much all from the Secret Affair.  The boudoir corset with frills at the bottom by Junbug is just lovely and one of those things that when you wear it makes you look and feel ultra feminine and not to mention taking a few inches off our pixel waists.   I accessorized it with the helmet by Alegria and the gold cuffs by Cellar Door previously posted and showing another great Roman helmet by Death Row Designs.  The torch I’m holding is one of my 25L Tuesdays finds by Roawenwood.

Keep the fire burning.

It was nothing compared to the fire that burned within her.

Holding her own 005

If you’re following me from my original blog “A Bit of Spunk” welcome and thank you for your continued readership and a welcome to new followers.  For a while now I’ve been tossing the idea of creating a new blog specifically for the fantasy and role-play  photos that I enjoy doing in Second Life.  I blame it on all the Xena Warrior Princess shows I watched in the 90s.  I really enjoyed watching that show.  Actually, my enjoyment of woman warriors probably goes further than that as I grew up watching Wonder Woman in the late 70s, when I was in that impressionable age bracket before hitting my teen years.

This is pure fun on my part as I do not role-play at all and most of my outfits are created from what I think looks good worn together based on my personal style and taste.  A perfect example is this outfit that was assembled using old and new items from different fantasy events.

As mentioned in my about section I do not claim to know any of the historical premises or origins of these articles of clothing and accessories or myths, legends or even mythologies that may pertain to them as well or the accuracy of the content design.  I may from time to time research a particular period for reference as I put together an outfit if there is a certain theme it was made for that inspires me.

I’m looking forward to showing you more as time permits now that I’ve figured out how to manage two blogs without it seeming like I was taking on more work and using up more time. The ability to switch from one to the other seems quite simple and it’s really only a matter if I blog or not.
