 Just a quicky today, weekends are always extremely busy now that its summer. Then again, weekdays are busier now that it is summer too! The results are more simple LOTD type posts, such as this one. Mixed pieces from Apple May (Top & Bangles from Willow, Jeans as a separate) and some of the amazing newer shoes from Shiny Things and this fast became one of my favorite outfits. I think I spent two days wandering in it, and thats unheard of from someone with a massive shopping addiction and inventory!  Just a quick note included here about the Grand Opening of Cursed scheduled for Saturday, 6-27-09 at 6pm SLT. I will be offering a free photo with every set of jewelry purchased of you in the set you chose! Looking forward to a lot of pictures, and a lot of people finding some amazing jewelry. Also, [42] just put out a new release so look forward to that coming as tomorrows LOTD! I hope everyone is having a fabulous SL/RL weekend and see you tonight!

Over a year ago I had the immense pleasure to meet the designers of Cursed Jewelry and am extremely excited to see they have returned not only to Second Life, but to designing their beautiful pieces as well. I have been lucky enough to work with the designers and have put together just a few of their pieces (with them modeling too!) for you to see in anticipation of their grand opening this weekend!   I normally am pretty lacking when it comes to accessories and jewelry, I have no idea why that is but I fully admit it. Cursed has inspired me to pay just that much more attention to the details in my outfits, and I will be using their beautiful pieces often in the future. Sets include looks for casual, every day use to more formal pieces that are a perfect addition to a night out on the SLtown! This just happens to be, my all time, absolute favorite.     Cursed Jewelry is delicate, intricate, and extremely detailed for designers that had the following to say on their work: "We do not use any sole textures or tgas in our jewelry. Everything you see has been meticulously made by hand and a very zoomed-in camera with nano prims and sculpties." Each and every piece has a resizing script, and gold/silver options. Everything they sell is Trans/NoCopy/NoMod so that you can easily buy gifts for your friends and loved ones, and trust me, you will!! In a future blog post I will be giving out the details of their Grand Opening this weekend which includes a special offer from me and Grand Illusion Photography. Be sure to keep your eyes open for these events, you wont want to miss out!!

 Earlier today I had a very different blog post ready to publish and take whatever repercussion that came my way. I read it, rewrote it, struggled within myself for hours on it, but I knew I wanted to say something. I knew I wanted to make a statement to show people that they are wrong, about me, about Sands, about our relationship, even if they never see it I wanted the chance to say something and have just one single person see it from my eyes. I didn't want my words to seem angry, because I'm not. I didn't want my words to seem forced, because the way I feel and the amazing things that have been happening in my life are far from forced. I didn't want to have those that are closest to me read the post and say 'that isn't our Dina'...but instead, I wanted them to remember what someone just said to me tonight "I know you have good judgment.. even though I don't know him.. I know you." While I understand not everyone will agree with that, it's nice to know there are those who really know me, and some do still have faith in me. So, this is me. Raw, emotional, and hopefully the same as I always have been.  Re-posting this bit, a reminder of how things have been over the last couple of months, because I think it got lost somewhere. I once said, and still maintain..."The world has changed. While it seemed against him, he found me, pulled me in, consumed me, and let my heart mend with his. He let me see myself through his eyes, and saw himself in mine. Even though the words are weak compared to what we have, I love you Sands, I don't care what the world says anymore. We balance each other in ways that most people will never understand. Even if they are looking at me thinking I've gone crazy, or try to pull me away or fill me with doubt, I only see you."  So, maybe the world does think I've gone crazy, or I am a fool, aren't we all when we fall for someone? Don't we all want to hold onto that amazing feeling, where you mean the world to someone and they mean everything to you, and just enjoy it for as long as possible? We always see that within the one we love what others may never see. I took it for granted that the people close to me could see how happy I was and failed to put it out there for others to see as well. That same person said to me "I know he makes you happy.... I can see it, you are so much more alive then you used to be" and I adore her for looking past everything 'out there' to see what simply is.  Sands does more for me than I ever expected, there are the huge things, but also those small things that make me realize he is thinking of me and doing things out of the blue just to please me. The phone calls that last for hours, including when he calls every night and just talks until he falls asleep because its so hard to just...hang up. Not only that, but because he knows I am unable to, he always is the one doing the calling, taking on the massive bill we have accumulated over the weeks because we cant seem to go that long without talking. The fact that he takes care of me in ways I never even asked, and makes sure to always stay close when he knows I need him. I won't ever come here and attack people or even air dirty laundry, I can't bring myself to do it. What I will do is show the things in my life that are making me smile each day, and hope that somehow, somewhere, someone will nod and just understand.

  This is one of the many new dresses from Skin Flicks (will be returning for more) paired with an adorable pair of white sandals from Shiny Things. The entire outfit really fit my mood lately, peaceful and contemplating. The dress and shoes, of course, all come in a variety of colors so go check them out! Easily two of my favorite designers within Second Life. I've always loved wearing white, leaves one looking sweet and innocent...not that I am, but...

 The designer of [42] sent out this gift to the stores group, this is going to be the only place and time you can get this awesome shirt in both male and female versions! Soon they will be releasing more shirts so you will just have to stay tuned and make sure not to miss out. Currently they are having an amazing sale, everything just $42L! If you have not yet checked out [42], this is *the* time to go! I've dressed my SL in purple today in support of those fighting cancer. Ironically I remember talking to my mother in law, years ago, about her battle with cancer and her recovery and I asked how she was able to get through it without having moments of panic. I was surprised by her strength and her determination not to let it get the better of her. Luckily she had a fabulous amount of support with her friends and family, and has been cancer free for some years. Even though I am unable to financially support RFL as much as I would like, this is a simple way we can all show support for the amazingly strong people that are battling with cancer every day. Dress your SL in purple today, and show your support as well!
