One has to have an "edge" to tackle the future, or the past may not let you go.  A sharp edge is best, as it cuts through the unessential confusion, and clearly exposes that which is needed.

This ensemble from L'Able ensure you are ready to fight your way mercilessly to the future, whilst knowing you look dayum good.  The broad shoulders send a loud and clear "not to be messed with"  message,  and as seen in the top picture, the bolero jacket has awesome detailing.  I like how the leggings provide a graphical contrast to the outfit, breaking it up and giving it further interest, ooooh and the gloves.. well they ensure you don't break a nail during the battle to the future.

There comes a point, in time, in space when our view, our perspective changes....
Something inside us awakes and gives a shock of thought...

It is then we realize, that which we believed was protecting us...
Was actually holding us back,and as we break free we discover a newness,  

and with our first unfettered breath, a vulnerability

We discover...

Our future is NOW

One of the things I most enjoyed when I first joined SL was roleplay.  I participated in a number of types of roleplay, including, as you would imagine, any type accepting of elves.  Yes, as shocking as it may be to you, my gentle readers, there are some places that are not welcoming of the long ear'd kind *gasp*

For me, part of the attraction is dressing my avatar for the role she is in.  This helps get me in character and in the appropriate mood.  So I am always pleased when I find a shop that creates clothing for the roleplayer in all of us.  Viv Trafalger Outfitters is one such shop, catering to a variety of styles and roles.  I especially enjoyed just reading the descriptions of her work, clearly a very creative and imaginative mind.

I have heard many people say they abhor Orange, yet when October rolls around there is no escaping it. If you are one of those who shun it, this elegant gown from SySy's will make you think again about this much misunderstood of colors.

Tis the season to be Orangey, and by all reports back to my elven headquarters, the SL grid is awash in the joy that is Orange. I have a little confession to make, and you may want to sit down for this one --  even though I adore orange and vampyres, and I not a big fan of Halloween *GASP*!

I suppose it has to do with exactly how Halloween is now celebrated and if you asked most of the candy-gobbling ghouls out there, they wouldn't have the faintest idea beyond the sugar rush, regarding the origins of said day. Its the modern-sanitizing of these celebrations that leave me a little luke-warm, but it is a wonderful time to find the best in Orange in everything.

 Indulgences.  Often our Second Lives allow us the ability to flirt with our indulgences, guilt free.  One of my lil sekrit ones is camisks.  I adore these.  I know that for most, “Gorean” comes to mind and while it is true that the camisk is a garment used in Gorean Roleplay, it is also a very versatile item that can be easily incorporated into any wardrobe.
 
One of the first times I remember seeing a Camisk hit the mainstream Fashion feeds was with “Flourish“ from Haven Designs.  This was truly such a beautiful item, that it was soon seen on some of the most fashionable in SL.
