Urban Rocker

Urban Rocker
[Like you can't tell]

Hello everyone!

First off...Now I've decided to ignore noting photos with obvious edits. There's no point in it. For example, the photo above: You can tell I did something to it, rather it was Windlight or Paintshop. Sooo, I'm not gonna point that out anymore. Only when it is a bit hard to tell.

Speaking of the photo above..I LOVE IT so much omg! So pretty! Looking amazing Inuoko! :))

Urban Rocker

Well as I mentioned in yesterday's post, I didn't feel so great. :( Today the headache was gone, but I had a migraine on the opposite side of my head. Weird, right? Well some aspirin got rid of most of the migraine, and I napped in Kyle's lap for an hour or more while he read manga on his laptop. :3

Poor Inu! In a run-down city, waiting for the bus. She's okay though! She's a strong woman. She can handle herself. ;)

So today, I combed Kyle's hair. Not interesting? Well, it was interesting for me. I was sitting in his lap face to face, combing his hair. We talked and joked, and shared quite the intimate moment. Being so close to each other was nice. It wasn't anything "dirty" about it; just a romantic little moment we shared. It's funny how something like hair combing could turn into a heartfelt moment.:)

Till next time!

Hello everyone~

You know, this post was meant for yesterday...but that didn't quite happen, now did it? Haha.Well you know most of my entries are posted late, and I had to go to bed at a decent hour last night (didn't happen *shrug*), soooo I ran out of time *sad face*.

But you know what? After the way today turned out, I'm glad that I didn't get a chance to post this on time.

Before I get into that real life stuff, let's backtrack to Second Life. Second life club "b.e.d" (Bodies Enjoy Dance) have remodeled their club! \o/ You may remember club  b.e.d from my Halloween blog entry. Same club, just a new look (not to say that the old look wasn't awesome).  The club is now larger, looks beachyer (I know, not a word), and seems to have better lighting. :) No, I am not a spokesperson for club b.e.d even though I work there. I work at a quite a few clubs, yet you haven't seen me mention them. B.e.d is special. The managers and owners are amazing, not to mention some key deejays and hosts. A lot of laughs at b.e.d; especially plenty of bed jokes, haha. It's a great place to be. Currently I am a manger, shift manager, and hostess at b.e.d. It can be rough sometimes like at any Second Life club, but it's worth it.

Now back to real life...Kyle and I had a good start of a day. We went downtown together to the mall to buy a friend a birthday present. When we got there, we ended up catching the end of a live Christmas show for kids. It was very cute. :) We then went present hunting. I have no idea if our friend reads my blog, so I wont mention what it is but I hope she enjoys it. :) Of course Kyle insisted that I should indulge in his money and let him buy me a few things as well. Believe it or not, I tried turning him down but I guess he knew it was too unlike me to say no to free gifts, and pushed me into buying a few things. I got a couple of inexpensive rings and necklaces. Just a few accessories to complete outfits. Honestly, I'm not thatttt into fashion in real life, but as you can see, I am in Second Life, haha.

Anyway, we shared some Chinese food; we had some more Vegetable Lo Mein, Orange Chicken, and he ate the potatoes. I figured sharing a meal would cut down on food costs. It worked wonderfully! Sharing a yummy meal can be very romantic indeed. We even played "Lady and the Tramp" with the Lo Mein...haha!

After returning home on our cuddly little bus ride back, we were at my house only a few moments before going back out. We walked his cute doggy up to the park. She seemed to enjoy sniffing around and marking her territory. After walking a full circle around the park, I got on the swings and twisted myself up before letting go and WOOSH I was spinning around and around, hee hee! I swing from time to time, but I can't remember the last time I spun like that. t was fun. :) Then I played with Kyle's dog a bit. While he held her retractable leash, I ran and jumped around, exciting her and having her chase me back and forth. :) I couldn't keep that up for too long though, so it wasn't long before I was sitting next to kyle on the bench. We talked and joked around until we realized it was starting to get dark. Then we headed back.

A while after getting back, I didn't feel so hot. I got a headache, and Kyle had me lay down. I couldn't sleep...I laid there for almost two hours, tossing here and there, yet couldn't sleep. I don't normally get headaches, just migraines, so it was quite odd for me to have one. Eventually I got up. I sat back and watched some anime (Inuyasha Final Act).

Kyle is so sweet. He stayed by my side as a tried to sleep, and he stayed by my side as I watched anime. Sure he fell asleep but I knew he was tired. He was trying his best. He could have gone home and went to bed but he wanted to keep me company as long as he could. I'm so lucky to have a guy like him. :)

On a side note; I slightly modded Inuoko's short shape. I didn't like the way it fit my normal skin. When I first modded it, I was using a skin with bigger lips, so it made the lips on my Laqroki skin thinner than I desired. I think I'm quite happy with how things turned out! \o/ Also, I got new eyes for Inuoko as well. Believe it or not? I haven't changed her natural eye color in about a year or so. Terrible, right? No, I was in love with the look it gave her. Other eyes fell short in my eyes...until now. Isn't she cuteeeeee? :3

Well, I'm gonna go now, I've typed enough with a headache, lol...

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving 2011
[Paintshopped]

It's already wayyy past my bedtime...even for a blog night! Ow!

I really just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving everyone. :)

Thanksgiving 2011
[Paintshopped]

Kyle and I spent real life and second life together this Thanksgiving. It was our first Thanksgiving together. :) He sat down at the dinner table (that I cleaned and decorated ;) ), said a prayer over our meal (because even though I was tired of the usual "everyone eat Thanksgiving dinner behind a laptop and/or watch TV", I was too shy to say grace.), ate two helpings of food as well as what I didn't finish, before we all one by one rolled ourselves away from the table to resume our normal lives..just extra tired from stuffing ourselves. Laptop action resumed, and the Television was turned back on. It was almost as if we never sat at the table; all those jokes and short stories told seem to fade away into a distant memory as sleep slowly began to overwhelm...most of us. Kyle didn't snooze. He stayed up reading manga on his laptop instead while I snoozed peacefully. Why you ask? Well, like many men, Kyle snores. But he was so sweet for letting me get a good rest, staying awake so that I wouldn't be burdened by his loud snores. I'm a light sleeper too; it makes it quite difficult to sleep when he is. He's so sweet for letting me sleep, thank you so much baby <3

I must say..This has probably been the best Thanksgiving i've ever had. I've had plenty to be Thankful for. :)

Thanksgiving 2011

Till next time!

The Succubus Mates A Dog

The Succubus Mates A Dog
[Paintshopped]

Mmm, hello everyone~

The Succubus Mates A Dog

As you can see, I am a succubus today. After Virtual Insanity release these nails/claws, I couldn't resist to do something demon-like. Especially while I am still caught up in the Breaking Dawn hype, haha.

The Succubus Mates A Dog

What is a succubus? Well, Succubi (the plural form) are demon females that are particularly seductive. They creep into the rooms of men, normally through the walls or an open window, and prey upon a sleeping man. Sometimes they may cast a spell upon them as they sleep to make sure they don't wake up; putting them into a deep sleep. He would have a wild sexual fantasy about his strongest sexual desires.The Succubus would then have her way with the man. She may try to get pregnant, but not always. Such sexual creatures are said to have some sort of control over that. She would leave the man by daybreak, releasing the sleep spell before she goes, and would make sure things seemed just as they were before she came. The only difference would be that the man would have particularly hard morning wood when he awakes. Was it just a great dream, or a succubus?

 Well I roleplay online from time to time. I like to make stories with people with original characters. Inuoko has always been my favorite, even though she is no longer my main character. Inuoko and Kyle are both side characters, and have mated (animal version of marriage) a while back. Inuoko the succubus, and Kyle the werewolf. Well recently in the roleplay, Inuoko delivered  two healthy pups. Instead of being hybrids (equally succubus and werewolf), they turned out differently. The boy was a incubus (male version of a succubus) with a tiny bit of werewolf, and the girl was a werewolf with a tiny bit of succubus. It was rather interesting, and exciting.

In Second life, Inuoko and Kyle are looking into a few adoption agencies for Second Life kids. Our daughter Kiki has decided to be an adult and has moved out, while our other daughter left our family a while ago.

Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn - Part 1
[Paintshopped]

Hello gang!

If you read the last blog post I made, you would be aware that I am a huge fan of Twilight. :)

Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn - Part 1

No, I'm not your average person caught up in the hype of Twilight. I read all four books before the movie was even announced, and I loved them. Later on the movie was announced, so naturally I wanted to watch the movie and see what the characters would look like in real life. Considering that the movies are based off the books, I have every right to love Twilight. I laugh at those Twilight fans that never read the books, haha. How are you a fan if you don't even know what happened in the books? The movies can only show so much content due to time constrictions, so how is someone a fan of Twilight if they don't know all that happened?

Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn - Part 1

I must say...the movie was simply outstanding! Kyle and I brought a friend along, and the three of us really enjoyed ourselves. Kyle bought me a handbag, wallet, and a skull necklace while at the mall a few hours before the movie. Shopping is always fun! Thank you babe ;)..We ate some Chinese food..Orange Chicken, Vegetable Lo Mein, and some yummy corn. :) It was a lot of fun! \o/

Wild Cat

Wild Cat
[Paintshopped]

Hiya everyone. It's been a few days. One mess after another with my time! Ugh! Even today I have a bit of a migraine coming on. With that said, I'm going to keep this entry short and sweet.

Wild Cat
[Windlight]

Lately, I have been leaving Kyle a good morning message to start his day off with on Facebook. He wakes up earlier than I do, and we don't live together, sooo...It's fun to leave him sweet, public messages for the world to see. :)

Today I wrote him a poem, so here it is:

Title: Good Morning Baby


Today, I want to remind him that I love him.

Today, I want every part of him to love me.

Today, I offer my all to him.

Today, I pledge to be his forever.

Today, I will take away his pain.

Today, he will relax with me.

Today, it is my turn to make him feel safe.

Today, I will hold him in my arms.

Today, I will hug is stress away.

Today, he'll forget his troubles.

Today, there is so much I could do for him.

Today, is a new day of new possibilities.

Today, I will strive for his happiness.

Today, he will be helpless to leave me.

Today, he'll be bound to my side.



Today, he'll always be mine.

------

Just a poem I quickly whipped up, haha. Well as you can see, I'm wearing more items from Perfect Wardrobe. :) I loveee the stompers! Gotta love digi legs. ;)

Wild Cat

Sooo, like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, I'm keeping this one rather short. There's this migraine, also I have to get up earlier than normal tomorrow to go see Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1!!!! \o/ It's Friday, we so excited, we so excited~ Cause Rebecca Black taught us that after Friday comes Saturday. :)))

The Fawn and the Werewolf

The Fawn and the Werewolf
[Windlight, Paintshopped]

Hello everyone!

I have a big announcement to make! I've decided to no longer mention when I crop photos because it's useless! ;D \o/

I'll still mention when I use Windlight or Paintshop though, so that you know the image has been edited. Personally, I hate buying something that doesn't look nearly the same in world, so I try to point out to you when I have modified the photo.

My graphics card isn't the best, so sometimes I just have to rely on Windlight or Paintshop *shrug*. If an image is too dark, it's just too dark. Also, it's fun to edit photos.

I love photography and graphic art, so I find it exciting to play around and manipulate my Second Life snapshots. I'm no Harlow Heslop, but I do my best. And i'm sure i'm getting a tiny bit better with every post I make. With every post on this blog I make, I have edited at least 1 photo if nothing more. With that one photo, it has given me a reason to play around with Paintshop. I love the experience i'm getting. :)
[Check out Harlow Heslop's blog, which is much like my own]
[Heslop does fantastic photography for low cost!]

The Fawn and the Werewolf

Also, Second Life photography gives me a chance to visit places in to take photos for the blog. I'm always so busy working and shopping in Second Life, I don't always have the time to just find a nice place for Kyle and I to hang out at....for those rare occasions when I actually have time in Second Life to just chillax.

And that leads us to "The Fawn and the Werewolf". If you've been keeping up with my blog, you'd know by now that Kyle is a werewolf is Second Life. Well, today I threw on my hooves from Epic and some horns and played fawn. I would be lying if I said that we made no jokes about being eaten, haha.

Finish Decorating!

Finish Decorating!
[Paintshopped]

Kyle and I bought a new house in Second Life. I would be all "yay \o/" but wow, I just didn't really have the linden to afford it! Don't get me wrong; this house is beautiful, came unfurnished for me to decorate the way I want (yay), and was all for a reasonable price; but still, it was a bit out of my budget. I mean, I have a fashion blog to run for gawd sakes!

Finish Decorating!
[Cropped]

Well, Kyle and I needed more space. Normally it's just us and our close friend, or us, our close friend, and his girlfriend, but either way two rooms is normally sufficient. Well..Kyle and I decided to take in two little girls as our own. We've had them for a few days, and we're seeing where things go. At least we have room for them now in our five bedroom home.

Looking at the house, I feel so cozy and warm. It's a great house to raise a family in. The walls look a bit worn in some areas, and it just looks divine.


Finish Decorating!
[Cropped]

 As you can see, I have done a bit of decorating. Plenty of things from the old Japanese house that we lived in that would work at this house as well. I would like to buy new things, but that just isn't in the budget right now.

Today I am loving the thick, glossy lips of African decent that Sorry Asia's new skin "Alana" that I mentioned in the last post!
[Read the last post here

This post is a little behind schedule do to the weekend, but let's move to the present..Sorry Asia is closing its doors soon. :( *Sad face*



I know the flyer says the 14th, but the sale started over the weekend. No worries though! Plenty of skins to go around, haha. I bought 2 skins for myself, some makeup and eyelashes. Of course I made sure Kyle got one skin. Sure linden is tight for me right now, but I couldn't pass the chance to buy another Alana makeup option plus other cheap-priced stuff. I'm gonna miss Sorry Asia; I have no idea where i'll take Kyle shopping for skins now. :(((

I'm going to run Inuoko over to Perfect Wardrobe tomorrow I hope. For now, I wish you all a goodnight!

Hello everyone~ *shivers a bit*

 The weather's really starting to change here in the northern part of the United States. Brrr!

Sooo, while Inuoko may be wearing a naughty little mini skirt, she's also wearing a cozy sweater. Don't worry, it's faux fur. Inuoko is against the slaughter of prim animals just for their fur.

Inuoko decided to build a cozy fire to keep warm with, yay. She admits that she was unsure if prim hair was flammable or not; who knows what products they put into Lelutka hair? Well she was cold, so she took the risk anyway.

Oh, what the hell! It's much more fun to snuggle with Kyle to keep warm than depending on the heat of fire, hee hee! They had a nice little conversation about admiring their newly rezzed house, as well as admiring our two new Second Life additions as I mentioned in the last post. We got in a little snuggle time while the kids were in their rooms playing.

Retro Diner, No Pets Allowed

Retro Diner, No Pets Allowed
[Paintshopped, Cropped]

Hello everyone! That surprised I promised~

Retro Diner, No Pets Allowed
[Cropped, Lightened]

IT'S A NEW SKIN!!!! \o/

Sorry Asia recently released a new skin! Welcome to the grid, Alana skin! I was perving Whisper Mizin's blog, "The Killer Kitten" (I was a bit behind I admit), I found a post about new skins.  The Alana skins immediately caught my eye, and I almost had a heart attack!!!

The Alana skins were something I had not expected from Sorry Asia, but I am incredibly happy with them. Smooth skin, GORGEOUS ethnic lips, and look amazing with freckles; what more could one ask for? Kyle uses a Sorry Asia male skin, and seeing as my shorter shape was made to compliment his avatar, I couldn't resist purchasing an amazing skin to go pair alongside Kyle. :)

I did leave a long comment on Whisper's blog about how Perfect Wardrobe and other discount stores were not catering to other races besides white a while before the skin release:

I love Perfect Wardrobe it’s amazing! The only downfall (like many discount stores) is that skin designers often only have one skin tone as their discount. This skin tone is normally white. As an African American girl (rl and sl), I turn down most discount skins as beautiful as they are because they just aren’t me. It would be great if skin designers offered the same skin in at LEAST three tones (light, medium, dark); even if they are sold separately at the same discount price. I feel so left out at most discount stores/weekly discount shopping, and I am sure others feel the same way. My boyfriend's preferred skin brand is Sorry Asia, yet he turned down the one at PW because there isn’t a dark tone. Perhaps skin designers can think this over ;)

Remember the male rocker skin at Perfect Wardrobe? Yes, Kyle turned it down because they didn't have an African American tone available. I often find myself turning down discount skins for the simple fact that most of the time the skin tone is completely wrong for me. I could be wrong, but I feel as if someoneeee was listening to me. ;) Who knows, maybe we'll see a small variation of skin tones at the next Perfect Wardrobe. \o/

(Don't) Let Me Go

(Don't) Let Me Go
[Paintshopped, Cropped]

Hello everyone! It's far too late for me to be blogging, but I feel the need to even though my eyelids are thinking otherwise >.>'...

(Don't) Let Me Go
[Cropped, Depth of Field]

If the title wasn't enough of a romantic clue, then the photo above should jog that brain of yours. Yes, it's relationship time again.

Kyle and I had a...very "emotional" night. We joked around while Second Life shopping, watched a scary movie with the lights off, and as the end of our afternoon  approached...something went wrong.

Some things were said, all out in the open. Things i've been holding in for far too long. Things i've told a close friend, but was unable to tell him, to burden him. If worse came to worse, someone would know what happened, while Kyle wouldn't find out. Wishful thinking I know; he would have found out anyway, but I just want him to be happy. But well, he knows now. Many tears were shed. The last time I cried that much in front of anyone was do to physical pain thanks to a sibling involving my head and the kitchen tile. But that's another story, isn't it?

No secrets? I'm sorry Kyle, cause that was one...sort of. I actually mentioned it before, but I made light of it; I wasn't sure how else to say it, and surely not so in depth. I've always been pretty independent...probably too independent. I want to learn how to lean on you more. Inside, i've known all along that I can lean on you no matter what...I just have to learn how to do it..

I'm glad that you know now, and yet I feel as if i've just sat a boulder upon your shoulders. What's done is done. I can only ask that you sit the boulder down if it becomes too heavy to bare.

Kyle, i'm sorry...

(Don't) Let Me Go 

I am your angel,
grounded for the rest of your life.


I am not fallen, no;
just held back.


I was to depart a long time ago,
but I am quite delayed.


Delayed by your heart anchoring mine.


So I stay by your side,
our red threads of fate
a mere foot apart.


You don't give me room to fly,
you don't give me room to be free,
and I thank you.


I will depart when you do.
Forever with you,
forever yours.

Well,  goodnight everyone...Perhaps you'll see a bit of a surprise tomorrow~

Quality Time

Quality Time
[Paintshopped, Cropped]

Hey blog readers~

Saturday, quite spontaneously, Kyle took me out to see a movie. We're the type of couple who like to try and plan things in advance, so I was quite shocked and a little confused if I might add, when he decided that we go see the Puss in Boots movie. Besides it being a branch off of the hilarious Shrek movies, it had plenty of cats. Kyle knows that I can't turn down something with cute cats involved, no matter how much I wanted to stick around Second Life and do my Saturday shopping. I'm not going to give you a full movie review or anything like that, but I will say that Kyle and I had a blast. :) We've been a bit stressed in real life with situations outside of our relationship, and the humorous movie really helped to relieve some stress while giving us some quality time together.

Quality Time
[Depth of Field, Cropped]

I've been talking to Kyle about quality time. Real life affairs often monopolizes our time together. Well, that's life for you. My problem is that when we are together we spend too much time behind our laptops. There's Second Life, Facebook, and more (I usually blog some time after Kyle has gone home). Naturally we do talk while doing these actions, but I want more. I told him that I want some time set aside where we put away our laptops, turn off the TV if for some miraculous reason it ends up on, sit our cellphones aside and just cuddle in each others arms and talk. It is a very amazing connection to have your partners undivided attention like that, and I want more of it in my relationship with Kyle.

Well I suppose i'm done here...See ya~

Defender of Love

Defender of Love
[Windlight, Depth of Field]

 Two posts in one night!?!?!!?! O_O!!!

Yes that's right! Even better news? It's poem time!! \o/ Yayy!

Title: Defender of My Heart

I was good to you,
so good to you.


Loving, caring,
and most importantly,
patient. Very patient.


You fell for me quickly,
fast and hard.


Perhaps you bumped your head
on the way down.


Because at some point,
you thought it was the
other way around.


You kept me waiting for you,
like a maiden for a warrior.


You went out on the battlefield,
and lived your own life.


As if you were fighting the battle
of a lifetime,


you seemed to lack any time
to send word to me of
your well-being, or to catch word of mine.


You left me behind where you,
for some reason,
thought I would be safe.


I was safe from the outside world;
I remained yours,
but I was not safe from my emotions.
I could only be so patient.


Maidens wait for their warriors,
but I am not a maiden.


I am a girl from the twenty-first century,
and I got tired of waiting.


Busy is understandable,
but instead of sending someone on horse-back,
we just send a text.


So eventually I joined the battlefield along with you,
just on the other side.


Your best friend,
is now mine.


Cruel? Coldhearted?


It was not a battle strategy,
it was karma, fate.


I just let it happen;
why protect your feelings
when you wouldn't protect mine?


You started this war,
you started it.


Most defended your heart,
told me to join your side
of the war again.


They wanted me to give you
another chance,
but for what?


So that you could destroy
my emotions all over again?


But they did not know;
I was never on your side
of the war.


I was just your maiden back at home.
No more.


--------

I would just like to leave everyone with this message: Never settle in a relationship. If you are unhappy, then get out of it. And don't let friends try and talk you back into it either. It's YOUR life, and if someone is ruining YOUR life then you have every reason to dump them and move on.

 Stay happy,

- Inuoko Shikami \o/

Defender of Honor

Defender of Honor
[Windlight, Cropped]

Hello everyone! *Yawn*

It's not as late as it usually is for me when blogging, buttt I got up earlier today to spend some quality time with Kyle before he had to go out into the world. We hung out about 7am, laughed and joked, messed around on the interwebs, and before we knew it, we were passed out sleeping like babies hahaha! Then we got up and spent a couple of hours more together before he had to go.

Defender of Honor
[Cropped]

"When someone talks ill of a person you care about,
it doesn't make you mad because you feel as if you 
must defend their honor; it makes you mad because
you know just how good of a person they are,
and that they don't deserve such harsh words."

I'm going to keep this post short yet sweet, just like the little quote I came up with above.  Doesn't it piss you off when someone talks about someone you care about in a mean way? It's hard to stop yourself from being enraged because you feel as if you know the person well enough to judge their true character while this person that barely knows them thinks that they know the person so well. Ugh.

Well yeah...see you next entry~

Halloween 2011 - The Doll

Halloween 2011 - The Doll
[Windlight]

Her dress torn,
she became something
she was never meant to be.


Strings attached to her mind,
she dances for him. 


She is kept like a pretty doll, 
posed this way and that.


She feels like a pretty doll.
The poses make her uncomfortable,
yet she is not lonely when he
plays with her. 


She feels even more unhuman,
and refuses to return to normalsy.
Somehow he seemed more normal than 
the bullies. 


She feels broken between her legs,
he broke her,
and only he can fix her now.


Especially now that her belly swells
to remind her that that night,
she became a doll. 


Strings attached to her mind,
she dances for him.  

 ----------> Meaning of the poem below:
I've been told that his poem could be taken several ways which is fine with me of course...Interpret the way you like. Though, I intended this poem to be about a teenage girl with problems with being bullied at school who is abducted by an older man and raped, kept as a sex slave. Compared to the way the bullies at school teased her, she enjoyed the kind words he would say to her on an emotional level. This tears her between mental safety and physical safety. She knows she should try and break free and escape, yet for once in her life someone other than her parents has something nice to say about her.

Bullies can really destroy ones mind. A person needs to hold some sort of confidence in themselves, and year by year bulling in schools gets worse. In a century where everyone is obsessed with looks, it is the worst feeling to be told by your peers that you are not beautiful, and point out your flaws. Then you end up craving kind words and attention in any kind of situation. Sure this situation is a bit dramatized, but who knows; it could just be a matter of time. It is much like abusive relationships; a low confidence girl meets a guy who says all the right things. She becomes so attached to his emotional kindness she tries to ignore his violence. I was bullied in school and I can honestly say that for quite some time I fell for guys with kind words.

"Halloween is over Inu!"

Yeah yeah yeah...I know. Second Life is running me around like a dog these days. I work at quite a few clubs. Well..Let me start off by spamming you with Halloween photos! \o/

I spent the last hours of my Halloween hosting in club B.E.D (Bodies Enjoy Dance).I was worried that the set would be terrible but well..with Inuoko and the awesome DJane Lissame? Not too bad at all! ;) I had a lot of fun. The club was turned into a spooky graveyard with spooky effects and dancing skeleton! As you can see, Kyle joined me, hee hee. He didn't really need a costume; he's a werewolf anyway. A very cute werewolf. <3 As for myself, I was a marionette doll. Who knew that TDR skin would be useful? ;) I'm kidding! I have major respect for SL Dolls. They're beautiful, flawless, yet delicate. It's a wonderful thing. B.E.D, I love you all! I covered that shift because we're family and i'm there for you whenever I can be. Mwah! <3

Remember he does private parties too..and covers...He's a great DJ. He always plays Katy Perry's "Las Friday Night" for me! Mwah! <3 If you wanna get into contact with him, just drop me a notecard in-world. ;) I'm also his personal host, so you mayyyy be able to get us as a package deal ;).
