Fashion Parade ... returns to Yangpa

And so after the night of debauchery (sorry I meant to say fun and frolics) at the Wet Kitty I returned to Yangpa, but not the Castle, but rather roberta's bat cave *vbg* to use it's waterfall as a nice backdrop of unpacking and changing ...

So we started with the Kiss outfit which came in a variety of colours ... so I tried green in case I ran into ellie again ...

... but it was way to skimpy (especially for ellie !!) but not even boots helped ...

And so I tried various combinations ...

... but all in all they just did not work, and so I was changing into this outfit when *poof* there was roberta :-))

which was lovely and lucky seeing as this quite a Mistressy outfit, and so I wore it out with roberta and Amanda for one of the last adventures of 2011 ... but I will post about those as part of the wrap up of 2011 :-)

Net net, that outfit is going to be a popular one in the year ahead, it is called "Envy" and yes well may you drool ;-)

So I returned, from those adventures, to one of roberta's Yangpa cottages for the final outfits of this collection ...

... I liked this one ... quite demure by my standards, but not as special as "Audrey".

I then did some more accessories ... another set of little red booties :-)

And some black boots ...

... but I preferred the ones that came with "Envy".

And then finally, the last (I think, I now have a nagging feeling there is one more that I have not trialed) outfit ...

... which I simply love ...

Fashion Parade ... on tour

Just to remind you :-0 ... we left "yesterday's" fashion parade celebrating this dress ...

hmmm ... am an angel ?
or a raptor :-)

This next outfit was frustrating ... it had one of those ever so tiny but essential panels that sits on the mons across the tops of one's thighs ... really quite useless (doesn't even disguise any inner thigh wibble, if one were to have that in SL, lol) ... but was particularly annoying was that it was the colour of gray !! and matched the leg warmers, and not the outfit !!!! but I got tricky :-) and editted the offending prim and gave it some light and transparency ;-)

It does however now glow in the dark and call people's attentions to my mons ... which was *NOT* the desired effect ;-) seriously !!!

Unfortunately circumstances conspired against my trial run of this outfit on the ski slopes of Wolf Mountain :-( ahhh well, perhaps next year's snow season ?
 
I then went from Wolf Mountain to Ozland to do some more unpacking ...

(Gen lends me some expert opinion)

... and some accessorization ...

... scarves can be tricky and I did feel like I was choking !  One nice thing about these Divalicious outfits is they come with a variety of bangles (but no baubles and beads *lol*) and by the end of some of these sessions I was wearing multiple layers of bangles.

Then I tried a hat, now hats are even worse than scarves and belts when it comes to getting them to look and sit right; so after much editing this was the effect ...

No I don't think so :-)

Now this was a much nicer ensemble ...

... with quite an accumulation of bangles; lucky I stayed in doors and did not go sailing around Ozland NW, because if I had, and if I had fallen overboard, I surely would have drowned !!!

I then tried on this outfit, called Audrey, with its lovely pearls, and which I then wore to Elegance for a dance with Amanda (yes, you are right, I blogged that dance and this outfit some days ago) and then for the famous line dance at the Wet Kitty or Kittens ...

Fashion Parade ... from the Castle of Paderborn

And so, at long last, after a marathon of posts to catch up to almost real time, we come to great and wonderful, one and only, fashion parade by moi, yours truly ... please don't ask me to name all these ! but if you like any, please head straight to Divalicious' main store, and grab some Christmas/New Year's sales :-)

So first, a very strong outfit, that went very well with my domme accessories such as the Dragon whip and flogger ;-)

Then a rather skimpy outfit that I think the moths will see more of over the next few months than we will :-)

Now an outfit for clubbing, that comes in three combinations - the first is my favourite:

Then a number I *really* liked, and so I then went on to wear it in several outings :-)

Oh I say Amanda ...

... a bit of ooh lah lah !!!

Sindi ... her achievements ... and our gratitude

Poor sindi has long arduous shifts these days ... and she has not the same freedoms that she used to have.

But she has graduated from her Gorean Academy *applause* and I am sure that she must feel pretty chuffed (as are Evie and myself over that).

So it was with great pleasure that I comforted her at the end of a long shift ...

I also want to take this post to thank sindi for the castle she built us (Evie and I, but really the family overall) on Yangpa, and the very tasteful way that she has decorated it with furnishings ... and lovely nooks for the solitude of reading ...

 ... lovely artworks ....

.... (did I mention that, as part of her graduation, sindi was to be auctioned? well the auction took place and sindi was pleased with the honour bestowed on her, but I do hope this does not disturb her relationship with Evie) ... 

... and created a wonderful home that Evie and I are very very grateful for ...

I hope that everyone in the family appreciates sindi's work around the castle, and roberta's work in the surrounding gardens :-)

Amanda and Danielle

In the work days between Christmas/Boxing and New Year's days I was on leave, as was Amanda, and we were able to catch up with danielle and spend so time with her.

We keep telling her that what is important is WHO she is and not WHAT had happened to her.

We all love and cherish her ... and we all have made our own mistakes, our own wrong paths, in our lives.

What matters, what defines the person, is not the mistake, but how they rise above it.

We all want to help danielle ... want her to be part of the family ... to have fun ... and enjoy life.

So Amanda and I give her all the love we can ... cherish her and value her ... and hope that this love will heal her hurts and restore her confidence in herself ...

My heart breaks when I remember the loving positive person I met in 2009, and all her plans and ambitions for her life.

Let us help you danielle ... let us heal you ... allow us to be your goal and your focus.

XOXOX + XOXOX

Catching ellie

I managed to catch up with ellie, who is being as fae as usual; and who then astounded me by turning into a green mermaid or some such sea creature ...

... it seems green is her new in colour.

Still we had a nice chat and exchange Merry Christmas hugs and kisses :-))





( I tried to ignore the sensations/memories of kissing a cat after it had just eaten fish )

Danielle's return

I was in the middle of preparing for my very own Fashion Parade (and so semi-clothed in the privacy of the castle) when I saw, with great pleasure, Danielle logging on ... so I wished her happy Christmas and to my delight she came for a visit :-))

And so we had a long talk (I wish it could have been longer) about her troubles and challenges (I wish I could do more to help).

And as family members logged in, we all (sindi, roberta, julie and myself) had a lovely hot tub, trying to cheer Danielle up and give her a sense of normality (or abnormality in this crazy place we inhabit) ...

Public Disgrace

Roberta, who deserves a medal for her explorations of Second Life's darker side, found a new SIM for us to visit, called "Public Disgrace".  So we (julie, roberta, Amanda, and myself) went to a visit ... and it reminded me a bit of Hardcore Alley.  Which used to be next to Yangpa when XXX was permitted to be on the Mainland !
Some of you may recognise the pictures that adorn this new SIM as being Real Life people from the San Francisco Scene ...

Anyway, we urged roberta and julie to enter into the spirit of the SIM by climbing aboard a taxi and engaging in some pashing ...

You can see that they really entered into the spirit of the Real Life San Franciscans !!

And attracted quite an audiance ... and applause at the end ;-)

Boxing Day

Following our lovely Christmas Eve, we again caught up as a family, since it was my Boxing Day we pretended to go to Paris for the post-Christmas sales :))

Christmas

Because I worked up to the last minute before Christmas I had had little time to prepare, so I was up
early on my Christmas day so as to prepare our village dance hall for Christmas celebrations, and as each member of the family logged in on their Christmas Eve I invited them around for dances and snogging under the mistletoe ...

We started with Amanda and myself ... and roberta with sindi

then julie arrived (sweet girl) ...

and so I danced and cuddled julie while Amanda chatted away with us all ...

In addition to the always present intan dance heart (which is also loaded with kisses, hugs and cuddles) I had erected the XXX-mas tree :) with its presents, lights, candles, and rug for intimate cuddling ...
 

Which sindi did with julie while Amanda and I enjoyed our own tete a tete ...

And then Evie arrived from Andalusia it seems (rather than the North Pole) ...

And soon (too soon) the sun was rising (and the snow flakes falling) and everyone needed to go to bed (except little old me !!) ...

Amanda's return

By now it will have become obvious to most SL friends and all readers that Amanda has returned from her overseas posting, and that we have established a very special relationship built on our strong friendship over these past two plus years.

She arrived on Christmas Eve, (at least that is what these files say), and was the bestest of presents.

And it was under Amanda's urgings that I paid a fateful visit to Divalicious ... which resulted in the fashion parade I have been teasing you all with :-)

Hmmmmm .... so many outfits .... and so little time .... lucky I was on a brief vacation and able to indulge myself .... and treat you all :-)

All is revealed (part 1)

So now you know what the finale of "8 Women" was an allusion to :-)
But what was the bound Santa's elf an allusion to ?
Well it was my decision to give the girls a Christmas treat of me being their sub for 24 hours minutes (I am not quite that silly!)

I am a little puzzled that there are only three pictures to show - maybe I was distracted :-)

I was stripped naked, and threatened by them all, most notably Sindi who had a lovely costume that I wish I could show you !

Then Roberta took me to a place on my lands where she had secretly erected this torture device :-

And afterwards I was put on display for all the villagers

I am sure they all had fun - but the (part 2) line dance was even more fun (for me)
