WTF

!!Adult content!!



WTF

Woman, Woman, Woman, WTF is our problem????

Yes, that's my naked Av you see above, laying out against a lounger with no actually sexual body parts showing.  I am alone, the sim was empty, and yet this picture can classify me as a slut?


The curve of my ass, the small of my back, again no sexual body parts showing, does this picture make me a slut?  Somehow this picture would be ok to you if I had a string lodged up my cheeks instead of having them bare?


Ok, let me give those of you who use these words to describe other woman the benefit of the doubt, lets say i have it wrong, that these pictures of the human body is "slutty".  While we at it we will say the Birth of Venus, David, Hell even Cupid and Psyche, are slutty as well? Because they are famous nudes.


So this photo must make it better then right?  I mean i'm fully covered, your not seeing that dreaded bared skin, but no it doesn't does it?  You still use words like slutty, whore, and many others i will not name.  What if i turned around would that make a difference?  Or is it simply a nude body that offends you?  What happened to woman empowering each other instead of putting each other down?
The problem here isn't my nude body, or my ass in a pair of shorts, the problem here is your perspective.  You don't know me!  You don't know that that naked body has two degrees, that they have dedicated years to the health care profession.  You don't know that that body is a good mother, good wife, good friend.  YOU DON"T KNOW!  All you see is an ass , perhaps hear a story and cast a judgment.  Do you always do things without educating yourself first?
I'm tired of woman putting eachother down, and for what?  What do you get out of it?  Does it make you feel better to call another woman names?  To start a rumor or two?  What is your intention?  Do you hope to trash her rep in the hopes of building up your own?  Think men will cross her off their list in the hopes of picking you?

Let me inform you of this.....................If you need to put someone down to put yourself up, you are NOT worthy of being there!  Stop this Ladies, we're too good, worked to hard for this bull shit.  There is nothing wrong with the human body (or the AV one), and there certainly is nothing wrong with being confident about it.  To those who are weak and insecure and feel the need to put others down to make themselves feel better.....................try therapy, the results last longer.
While i'm at it, here's a few more to keep you talking Ladies! To those who don't like it...........well you can pucker up and kiss the picture above!

 The Perfect Pair of Shoes

 Ok, so those of you that have been following this little blog know i have a tendency to go off into little rants.  I review these beautiful photographic sims, but while strolling them i tend to think and reflect about my life here in second life, and it turn share it with you all.

Today as i toured Borneo Isle my mind was on shoes!  I know some of you have already let your minds go blank at the thought but just follow me here, i promise its a metaphor. 

Have you ever found an outfit you adore, something that fits you so perfectly you forget you're wearing clothes.  Something that leaves you feeling sexy and confident, free and capable of anything?  I know there are some men rolling there eyes right now, i also know there is a huge majority of woman nodding their heads.  So you find this outfit but its not complete, you need the shoes to go with it and sure enough you find what looks perfect.  The right color, the right shape, they look like they were made for outfit, the only problem is they hurt your feet.  You slip them on, walk around the store trying not to limp and tell yourself that all they need is a bit of time to adjust.
We have somehow been trained as woman to think the pain is ok, that beauty comes with sacrifice, that it has to hurt a little to look or be good.

So we wear the outfit the next day, starting off strong and confident, walking in those uncomfortable shoes and ignoring the fact that every step is killing us.  By the end of the day our feet are throbbing and we can't wait to get home and get out of not only those shoes, but the outfit that once made us feel so amazing.


We might wear the outfit a few more times, continue trying to make those shoes conform to something more comfortable.  Rarely do we think that the shoe is simply not right!  We continue to try and try till finally, we stop wearing that outfit that made us feel so good, we give up the things we want, the way we want to feel because we have the stubborn mind set that those shoes are the only thing that can go with that outfit.


Perhaps its a while later, perhaps your smarter then I am and its right away, either way there comes a day when you are walking through the store and another shoe will catch your eye.  Perhaps its because you've found a different outfit, perhaps its just something that has caught your eye and brought up memories of the outfit you use to wear, either way, these shoes are different then the last, equally as beautiful, and they don't hurt.

Suddenly you are pulling that outfit out of the closet again, and this time, you feel even better in it because you can walk confidently without worrying about the pain of it all.  You receive even more compliments because your face is held high instead of looking to the ground and waiting for the next stab of pain.  

My point to all of this?  I realized today that sometimes we need to let go of what we think is perfect for us.  Sometimes we see things as one way and ignore the pain because we are so convinced that this is the only thing that can make our "outfit" complete, and in turn, we eventually put aside what made us feel so good because we were wrong.


The hardest part, the sweetest part of it all, is realizing and wanting something to change so that you can go back to that outfit in the closet, to being that person you were always meant to be.




So today, i rocked a new pair of shoes!  I toured the stunningly beautiful Borneo Isle, and i walked around with my head up high, for the first time in along time, no longer in pain.




I definitely recommend visiting this quite little spot, grabbing some stunning photos and maybe doing your own reflecting on the shoes you want to wear.  




As for me..............I'm going to continue rocking this outfit, and these new shoes!

(what does the fox say?)


So today i took my sons hand and went off on an adventure.  We found this beautiful little winter sim just waiting to be explored and instantly set about doing just that.  Mount Pinatubo is a perfect little place to explore with a family member or to simply just explore alone.  A peaceful quiet little winter country side that takes you back to a much simpler time.






With lots of perfect little spots to explore and objects to interact with, it promises a delightful little spot to take photos and capture some special moments.





My little fox and I managed to capture some wonderful pictures while waiting for the Christmas Train to come along.




Now this perfect little sim is only open to the public for a few weeks.  So make sure you add this to your must see and head over to capture some pictures while you still can.



And don't forget to share those photos with their flicker site!

Some of my more devoted readers may know that in real life i'm addicted to Alice in Wonderland.  The book has been on my night stand since i was 16.  I've read it a million and one times and never seem to tire of it.  Something about Lewis Carol's wonderland speaks to my soul, soothes my aches, and inspires me to keep dreaming.  I am, in so many ways, Alice.  A foolish girl with more curiousity at times then brains, constantly and mistakenly getting herself into trouble while searching for "home".



Needless to say, the moment i saw the name of this sim i was eager to visit.  I love seeing other peoples inspirations from the classic novel, love seeing the creativity it inspires, the emotion.  Now i admit, when i landed and scanned around the sim, I was at first disappointed.  Not because the place was not visually stunning, which trust me, my pictures do NOT do it justice, but because i wasn't welcomed by Hearts, white rabbits and roses to name a few.




The disappointment didn't last long.  There is so much beauty in this sim that its impossible not to get caught up in it.  Set your wind light to their settings to see one of the most stunning sunsets you have ever seen.




Offering a million little places to dance, it is definitely a romantic location.   It also is a perfect location for photos, sitting alone to think or to chat with friends




The sim also offers the perfect place to get your tarot cards read!  My own reason told me of a troubling past, but a future of love and friendship!!!  Yay me!



I have to admit, i spent well over an hour on this sim and completely lost myself to the magic of it.  The photos needed no enhancements, they were just stunning because the sim was stunning.




My only complaint is that the sim is oddly laid out and in spots crowded.  Walking paths aren't always clear so it was a little hard to get to certain places but well worth the effort.



Make sure to visit, make sure to donate, and make sure to share your own stunning photos because i'm certain you will be capturing some of your own.
