Unlike the Black and White Taj sims, (which are loosely based on the original Taj Mahal in Agra, India) The Taj Mahal in The Lost City on the sim France3D Virtualya is an exact replica of one of the seven wonders of the world!

I’ve not had the opportunity to actually visit the Taj in RL, hopefully one day I will. For now, this will suffice! :)

Happy Love Thursday everyone! <3

A heartfelt thank you to Catero Revolution for posing with me. <3

If you have me on your plurk time line then you probably noticed I love reading my horoscope everyday and even plurk about it when it’s a good one. That’s why when Hunain Bellic of Huz Tats decided to do a whole zodiac series for his tattoo store, I got really excited.

A true virgo at heart, I love anything and everything to do with it. These tattoos come in undershirt layer and also include a face tattoo. Along with that, each sign also comes with its own Zodiac Card that provides a little bit of information about that particular sign. I had no idea that the flower for virgos was aloe! Visit the Huz Tats mainstore or even the blog to see the tattoo for your sign!

Happy Love Thursday everyone! Please share your Love Thursday in the flickr group and don’t forget to read your horoscope! <3

Banjaran is the hindi word for gypsy. Gypsy’s are known to travel in tribes all over South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Russia and Northern Africa. When Mr. Don Hosho shared the slurl to this gorgeous Egyptian Temple, I knew I wanted to blog it.

Then last night Leah McCullough of Naive released this exotic top and skirt that had a gypsy feel to it. I thought what a perfect way to shoot the temple, I could be a banjaran traveling through Egypt. (Can you tell I like roleplaying? :P)

When I went to accessorize, I realized that the red gypsy set by Hibiscus Flossberg of Puarangi Designs and the top and skirt from Leah were a match made in heaven. Hibi also makes adorable little tamborines that I love and of course forgot to take a pic of. :P Leah and Hibi are some of my favorite content creators because they are both so kind and caring. Recently Hibi made a special Hello Kitty ring on my request that has been getting rave reviews so she made a whole set now to accompany it. :D And Leah just released the cutest tees last night which she named after me! Thank you Leah and Hibi! <3

The poses I used for this post are from the fabulous new Prima Donna set that was just released @ Diesel Works. So take a moment to visit all of these places so you too can feel like a banjaran traveling from sim to sim. :P

Happy shopping! <3

A few months back I started sharing things I love every Thursday on plurk and flickr and since then it has really become an eye opening experience for me. It’s made me learn to appreciate my surroundings more. You can visit the Love Thursday flickr group and learn more about it and participate if you like.

This is the first time I am actually blogging about my Love Thursday. I figured I’d put a few things together in this post, first of course will be the new Dutch Touch Dune skins that were just released yesterday. They are absolutely delicious. I cannot stress what an outstanding job Iki Ikarus has done with this skin. The face is so haunting and exotic, especially in this sensational CatsEyes makeup.

Aside from the face, the shading on the body is perfection. Each makeup comes with two brow options and also two options for pubes. So take a moment to run down to Dutch Touch and pick up a demo.

I also wanted to add a few other things to this blog post that fit perfectly for Love Thursday as well. Dove Swanson of Long Awkward Pose just released a new pose set called “Wonder Girls.” Back in November she had sent me a notecard requesting me to send her some images of poses I might like to see inworld, I did and then totally forgot about it. So when she presented me with this new set which had this pose named after me, it was a wonderful surprise. I absolutely love it, especially since it’s perfect for showing off my favorite jewels on the grid. Thank you Dovey! <3

What is that written behind me on the wall in the picture you ask? It is an excerpt from “Sand and Foam”, written by one of my favorite authors, Kahlil Gibran.

Happy Love Thursday! <3
