OMG Becky...

Look at her butt... !
Well, I had been deliberating the purchase of this mess booty for a couple of weeks now.. but I have kept my eyes open to see how it looked on different body types, etc. I have been impressed so far and finally, with a little coaxing, decided to get it :) It matched pretty well with the default light skin tone and my Amberly skin from Glam affair, and using the blender layer really helped. I will eventually have to go grab the appliers for my fave skins but with knowing I can at least use it now with out them is pretty cool :) I modded my shape to the suggested description in the notecard included and the fit was rather flawless, with out changing my shape really in the end since you can't tell I have modded it. I'd love to see this booty be able to come in different shapes and perhaps an option to reduce the size, much like our boobies. But, its a nice little addition to my SL wardrobe for the days when I want a little more oomph :)

dress: Sugar & Cyanide, Alliana in white
mesh booty: Luck Inc, Phat Azz
hair: Lelutka, Canto in powder
skin: Glam Affair, Amberly in America tone
cigs: dirtyland

{Tales of the Dark Angel} Doubt


She was tired. Traveling between the realms was exhausting to her. Since she was not full angel, she always suffered when she had to travel between. Managing to come back down the deserted town, she started to question everything again.
What was she doing here anyway? She should have never accepted the offer.
But, the alternative... well.. She wasn't particularly relishing it either.
Leaning against the windows in the empty police station, she gathered her thoughts and tried to quiet her mind. A Hunter in this state was vulnerable, and she couldn't afford that.
But, the nagging doubt that something was going on beyond just a mere hunt wouldn't leave her.
She knew that she would have to go look elsewhere for the answer, as she couldn't even trust Michael.

With another sigh, she gathered her strength and wrapped a protective shield of energy around her.
Knowing what she had to do, she said a silent prayer, and headed off into the darkness to find her brothers and sisters of the night.

Remembering...


This week on Flickr, I am participating in the group "One Week of Pics" where we do a photo per day based around a theme. This weeks theme is Memories. This is a particularly poignant theme for me, as I have so many wonderful memories that I cherish and hold close to my heart from when I was a child to now. Memories for me speak to the emotions that those memories evoke, and I cannot do this week without thinking back to my parents, and how much I miss them, and how thankful I am that they brought me to this world.
I lost my Dad when I was 16 on June 21st. My Mother left to join him two years ago on the same date. Words fail me to express the sorrow of losing a loved one.. and maybe words really don't have to be spoken. This photo is dedicated to them, to my innocent time, and to all of those who are struggling with loss of some kind. Life is sweet. Cherish those memories.

With thanks to my sweet friend Emaline, who created this pose for me and without whom many of my pictures would have never been. Thank you :) And thank you to Zubi, who encourages me and pushes me to be better..
And to another dear friend who has watched me work from afar and recently has helped me and encouraged me to create.. <33

{Tales of the Dark Angel} At Angel's Gate

Ilana frowned again as she thought about what Michael had said. He looked down at her with his infinitely kind eyes and she tried to avoid them, not wanting to get lost in them. Not again. Not ever.. She had gone down that road and at its end was only heartache. This time, she knew better than to give in.
But when he reached out and pulled her to him, just close enough for her to feel his glow, his incredible warmth, his strong energy.. she felt her eyes well up.
Dammit, no tears! she told herself.

He gently reached up and cupped her cheek with his hand, then tilted her chin up to him, his eyes holding hers despite her willing them to look away.

"Tessy... " he started..
"Don't.. don't use that name.. you know its Ilana now.." she said quickly, willing him to look away.
But he didn't.
"You will always be Tess to me." he said, a softness in his voice, and intimacy that she had so often willed away from the recesses of her memory.
"This is no ordinary time Little One.. the demons you hunt are stronger, more powerful than ever, and they hunt us as well. You are in danger. Please reconsider this assignment.." he said, his concern showing in his glowing blue eyes.
She swallowed and finally managed to look down. She took a deep breath, but could only breathe him in. His scent, of love and pureness and sensuality and raw energy all wrapped up into one.
"I can't, you know its what I do. I hunt. He asks, I do." she replied, her answers short to avoid speaking words she would regret.
"You have free will. He will not love you less if you resign this duty. All you have to do is ask Him."
She felt herself start to tremble.
"what are you not telling me Michael?" she asked softly, this time her eyes challenging his.
He stepped away slightly, just a fraction, but his body language gave him away.
"You are the consumate diplomat, but you really can't lie to me" she said more firmly. "What is going on that I don't know?"
He sighed. Looking out over the ocean, he nodded.
"Very well.. let's go to a safe place.." he said, and took her hand. She knew they would probably go to one of the Angel Gates, a place between Heaven and Earth where Angels could rest, recharge and be in neutral ground.
As she closed her eyes, he put his arms around her, and felt his wings encase her, the protection they offered drawing her into him, and for a moment, she was lost once more in him.
But just for a moment.
She steeled herself as they landed in the soft and hushed mist. The glow of Heaven surrounded them, and she sighed.

Michael's voice was steady as he started.
"When we saw the increased activity, we knew something was up. We wanted to figure out what had caused the destruction in that little town, and assumed it was a cut and dry human intervention directed by demons. We wanted the best, since we really didn't want to waste time. You are one of the best. So, you were sent."
She nodded, "go on"
Michael continued. "But, something else is happening. There is a strange energy, a tilt in the fields of good and evil that we cannot explain. We've sent scouts out to figure out what is going on, but..."
he hesitated.
She tilted her head and arched her eyebrow. "But what?" she asked
He cleared his throat.
"Two of the scouts are missing.. we cannot locate them in the energy fields."
Ilana looked at him and blinked. Scouts were never lost.
Ever.
They may die, or be caught, but they never just.. disappear.

"Have you sent out other Hunters to see if they can find them?" she asked, crossing her arms and shifting her weight. Her wings fluttered.

"No, we have not. This happened in the past 24 hours, so when I saw you had fought off a Warrior Demon, I knew something was up. This is why I came.. to get you."

"I'm not pulling out of the assignment, Michael. So go tell Him. I'm going now." she said, and spun around, willing herself to walk away from him as he stood there, so calm and collected.
Inside her head, she fought off the fear, and the yearning. Somewhere deep down, she wished he would stop her. That he would lose his cool and grab her and.. and... what?

Face it.. you are nothing but a halfbreed with insane hunting skills. He's God's right hand man, she heard her minds voice say. 

She sighed and kept walking, hoping he didn't see her wipe away her tears.

{Tales of the Dark Angel} Michael

Ilana took a shaky breath. The scratches on her arm were already healing, but she could still feel the demon poison in them, fighting to infect her. Her composition was such that she was immune to it, but she still detested the way it made her feel when it touched her.
She swallowed and wiped her blade on a dirty rag she found cast off on the floor. The only sign of any fighting was the acrid smell of burning flesh.
Demons burned as they died. As her sword cut its flesh, it immediately started to burn.
Going back to its source, she thought as she wrinkled her nose. Finding the flask of whiskey at her thigh, she took a swig and walked out to the porch. The fading sun's rays were incredibly beautiful, casting a deep golden glow onto everything it touched. But, they were more than that.
At sunset and sunrise, the rays of the sun emit a powerful glow that is stronger than even the noon day sun. This energy is the lifeline of Angels and Hunters alike.
As she stood on the porch, raising her arms to salute the dying sun, she felt the warmth of its rays saturate her. The scratches from the fight were gone. Her body whole again, she felt her soul start to strengthen.

"Hello Little One.." said a deep husky voice behind her. She smiled, but didn't move. She knew that voice, intimately recognized by every fiber in her being.
"Michael" she said.

Glancing over her shoulder, she chuckled.
"Good Lord Michael, you look like a best man at a wedding.. where on Earth did you find that outfit?"
He cleared his throat and furrowed his brows, then a slow grins spread across his full lips.

She winked.."You really need to stop letting Gabriel give you fashion advice.."

He laughed now. His deep blue eyes fixed on her, and she grinned, then blushed slightly as she turned away.
Spinning to look at him, she stood casually, leaning on one hip, as if she had not just fought off a Warrior Demon.

Michael raised an eyebrow, looking at her arm where the demon had clawed her. No visible scar remained but he knew. Reaching out to her, he placed his hand lightly over the area, chanting an ancient healing prayer. Ilana tingled. An electric current of power ran from his hand into her and she felt the last of the demon poison leave her body.

"Thanks, I needed that" she said, fishing for a cigarette and her lighter. She in haled and glanced out to the sea.

"This was not a normal demon, Michael" she said, her eyes still looking at the horizon.
He shifted and crossed his arms. "what was it then?"
"It was a Warrior." she said simply.
He frowned again, a somber look to his deep eyes.

{Tales of the Dark Angel} Readying Your Blade


After finding a secluded area to change, Ilana readied herself for the hunt. Her senses attuned at all time outwards, listening, sensing, feeling, while at the same time holding her emotions in check to keep the energy field around her as neutral as possible. Demons and angels had a special affinity for each other, and even gifted humans could sense her. 

She didn't need to worry about humans in this town, that was for sure, she thought as she hid her wings. Riflnig through her knapsack, she found found clothing more appropriate for demon hunting. 
Once dressed, she stashed her knapsack, and picked up her sword. Weighing it easily in her hand, with a seemingly effortless movement, she spun it around her fingers then above her head to slice in the air with deadly accuracy.
The blade hummed.
Ilana smiled.

While she could easily use a less precise weapon, the most efficient way to kill a demon and be sure it was dead was to cut its head off. Most hunters had their weapons of choice, and those who hunted with swords knew them not as just weapons, but partners in the hunt. All blades had their own "voice", and Ilana knew her sword's voice as if it was a lovers. And tonight it sang of blood.

With a grin, she sheathed the sword and stepped out into the night, walking in the shadows of the little neighborhoods of the town, following the pull of the demon energy, until she came the house where she sensed its presence.


All hunters knew how to cloak using the available energy from their surroundings, but Ilana was especially good. She was able to watch the demon inside the abandoned house for a few minutes, noting that this was no ordinary beast. She felt a slight shiver. Why had it felt so weak prior? Had it been projecting itself as weak to attract its prey more easily? Ilana didn't really care, she knew what her job was.
With a sweep of her hand, her sword was out. She was materialized once more, and as she strode forward the door burst open and there was the demon.
Waiting, its orange eyes glowing in pure evil energy.




It crouched at the ready as it chuckled... "Well, well... what do we have here? a girl with a sword.." With a slight twitch of its nose and a lick of its disgusting lips, the beastly creature's eyes took in Ilana's form. Its lascivious sneer made Ilana almost gag. She saw its huge cock twitch as he grunted again..
"Perhaps this Hunter wants a taste of demon seed before I eat her soul.." 

Ilana's clear blue green eyes narrowed. Her fingers flexed around the hilt. She met the demon's eyes. 
"Come and get me, big boy.." she said softly..

{Tales of the Dark Angel} The Hunter





She took a drag off her half smoked cig and savored the dark, acrid smoke. Exhaling, she closed her eyes for a second before she watched the smoke slowly curl up into the cool night air. The stillness in the town was so palpable she almost felt creeped out.
Almost.
As a hunter angel, she had learned to keep her emotions in check at all time. Any disturbance in the energy fields would tip off the demons she hunted, and she didn't really like the thought of having to start the chase all over again.
This particular demon had wrecked havoc in this sad little town. Ilara had not seen this level of devastation in a long, long time. The demons usually responsible for this were very powerful, and very elusive. She shuddered slightly at the thought of the last time she saw one, and tried to shut her memories away once more.
Her dark wings moved in the slight night breeze as she stood on top of the little rusted bus stop.

The town that time forgot, she thought to herself. It was as if she had walked into 1960s America, but with no people.
As she scanned the surrounding area with her mind's eye, she felt a slight twinge of sadness when she saw the empty schoolhouse, schoolbooks still opened up, pencils on desks, and the scattered remnants of a classroom in the middle of a lesson when disaster struck.

She tried to not think of the children. Saying a little prayer for their souls she moved on to the surrounding houses, where she finally detected a sign of the demon. But was this one it? He seemed to weak, too scattered to have caused this mess. She sensed more than one was involved, but ...
Well, the only way to know was to go confront him.
Crushing her now burned down cigarette with the heel of her black leather boot, she slid her fingers along the blade of the knife at her thigh. The smooth, cold steel made her grin. Her sword, tucked between her wings, held quiet for her as she reached behind her back and unsheathed it. Kissing it gently, she whispered.. "tonight, you will taste demon blood my sweet.."

I've been wearing :EC: clothing for a little while now, and am happy to see her work in mesh, and of course thrilled that she does appliers for her clothing.  But for this post, its all in the pants baby... these jeans come with a color changing hud to let you play to your heart's content with outfits. The hud controls the undies, the jeans and the wallet in the back pocket, so you can mix and match colors and play with outfits to your heart's content. And if that wasn't enough, she has included in the outfit tank tops (not pictured) with Lolas appliers, again, with enough choices to keep you mixing a matching for a month! I also purchased a separate outfit and used that tank (seen in the pic). That is how versatile her clothing is :)
This one is definitely getting my thumbs up for versatility and color mix, as well as affordability. If you haven't checked out her shop, what are you waiting for? go go go!! I'll apologize now for you using up your allowance *grins*

Bewbapalooza!


If you are new to wearing mesh boobs in SL, or a well endowed vet, Bewbapalooza is a MUST event for finding various delectable and delicious clothes, lingerie and accessories. A definite event to keep an eye out for! Some wonderful designers will make an appearance, and you will be sure to find something to tickle your fancy, plus some have gifties out too. [QE] has a 10L bag with some cute stuff and a freebie.

 I always find it hard to walk away with just one thing, but I controlled myself because I wanted to get this delectable skin from Al Vulo as well. Can't spend all my L in one spot!
This gorgeous little lingerie number comes to us from 1 hundred, once again a well done design that flatters and fits. Each set comes with one color on either black or white lace, and of course I had to get pink :)

The skin is a new one from Al Vulo.. I can't get enough of her work, and the fact that she included slink hand and feet appliers as well as Lolas Tango appliers was a definite plus! Lush ladies, don't forget that the new Lush boobs can use the tango skin appliers too.. :) I think for the price, this skin is definitely worth the price of admission, as I like to say.

And perhaps here is a good bridge to discuss my review policy. I will of course accept a creator who wants to have me blog their work, but in general I blog about things I purchase with my own money, things that I think are worth buying, either for the quality,their look, their uniqueness, or simply because I like them. I also wear everything I blog, as it is stuff I like enough to wear on a regular basis.
I hope you enjoy my blog, and that you find some stuff you like :)

skin: Al Vulo, Cecilia, sunkissed tone
lingerie: 1 hundred @ Bewbapalooza
