Wishin' and Hopin'

For those that know me, know that I have TWO obsessions hobbies.  The biggest of these is decorating.  I LOVE to decorate.  They tell me I'm pretty good at it too.  The second of these is, houses.  There's something about walking through the starkly empty rooms, the smell of fresh paint, the blank canvas to start my latest decorating masterpiece.  (Seriously, I love this stuff)  At one point, I had 5 houses, a barn, and a garage out on our main land.  That isn't included the various thing I had rezzed on platforms, nor does it include our "vacation" house that we have on the mainland.  So..yeah...I LOVE houses and decorating.

Out of ALL the houses I've had throughout the years, I loved each of them during their short precious time providing me shelter, I truly fell in love with as soon as I walked through the front door.  It was the Old Orchard Cottage from Domineaux Effect.  The details in this house are impeccable. Domineaux was all set to release a NEW house for the FaMeshed Event this cycle.  I have been like a kid on Christmas morning waiting to even see this house!  Alas, as any content creator can tell you, things never go as planned, and she had some last minute issues pushing back the release of it.  The sign said it would be released 4/3.

I boot up my computer this morning (yay! for vacation week) before I even fix my first cup of coffee, and head over to FaMeshed.  BUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTT no dice *cries*.  Still no house.  I manage to muddle through my day, trying to be patient.  Finally I give up.  I'm parking at the event until I can look at this house!  In fact, I am parked there now, while blogging this.  Kinda stalker-ish, right?! 

I believe it will TOTALLY be worth it!  So, today's blog post will be less about fashion, and more about the anticipation.

Hopefully I will look homeless, someone will feel sorry for me, message her and she will get it set up just for me!

 
 
Wish me Luck!

6-String Music

I know, I know.  It's been FAR to long since I've posted.  Honestly, Shit just got insane.  RL and SL.  BUT I've missed this.  I've slowly gotten back into the Photo scene again.  I'm surround by amazing Pixel capturers, and they always inspire me.  They make me feel like I'm the worst picture taker, and horrible photo editor that ever graced a blog, but on the other hand they make me want to be better. HOPEFULLY you'll be able to see my progress.  I'll never be one that spends days (i.e. my honey) on a picture, but I will spent more than 10 minutes in ipiccy (which is totally awesome in its own right).


 
 
 
So, yeah, I was lazy and just took the pic at our house.  See, this is what happened..."Nuh, nuh time to 'splain" (showing by nerdiness with a Princess Bride line.  Message me NOW if you caught that)  Anyway, my gave me a gentle nudge with a 2x4. She is amazes me always inspires me everyday; to do better, to be better, to see the world from a different perspective, to learn freaking Photoshop! 
 
 
So, here it is, in all of its glory. My first post in almost a year and a half.  The grid has changed so very much in that time.  I have changed in that time.  But most importantly, I have slowly surround myself with people who will forever leave their mark on me.  Thank each one of you for joining me on this journey we call life.  It may not always be easy, it might not always be rainbows and bunny fart, but I hope I make you smiles just as much as you do me.

When you can't find the right hair....

I LOVE Dura hair.  I want to own everything they make, but it looks like shit on me.  No matter what skins, what shape, what outfit I put on, it looks stupid as hell on me.

In protest the other day, I went bald!  Normally I freak out when I loose my hair in public.  I start scrambling for the first hair I can find, at least until I find the hair I want. I was bitching to Mag about it.  Well, I was bitching and she was pretending to listen.  I snatched my hair off and threw it half way across the yard.  She checked up and commented on how hot I looked.

Is the new Drew bald?!?!? I doubt it, but I am digging this outfit I threw together to go with my new do, or lack thereof.



I bet you $500L that the first thing the guys saw was the legs, and it took them a second to figure out that I'm even in this picture.

Lapointe & Bastchild have some amazing new leather pants at S'Wear.  The sugar skull details on these are awesome.  Run over and check out all the new stuff L&B are putting out now.  Better bring your credit cards, you'll want everything they have.

Cruisin....

There's nothing like getting out on the open road, wind in your hair, bugs in your teeth.  I'm a bike junkie.  I love the craftsmanship of a motorcycle.  The rumble of the throttle between your legs.  I found a new bike builder that I absolutely adore.  BUR Motorcycles are quality builds at reasonable prices.  I picked up the  Juggernaut bike for less than $500L.  It has quickly became my favorite bike.  Easy handling, great look, and a even the texture is included to change the license plate and tank. 

To go along with this awesome ass bike, I found a kick ass biker outfit at ::Mortality::

Ye-Haw Y'all

I feel cheated!  My weekend was snatched from my grasp.  RL whisked me away to the hills of west Texas this weekend. Let me tell you, that's one hell of a drive.  You people in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area seriously need to get your drivers licenses from the DMV, NOT a cracker jack box. 

Other than that.  It was pretty cool.  I haven't been out there for a couple of years.  Nothing has really changed except for the location of the road construction. 

With my hair still de-frizzing from all the wind, I figured I'd pull together alittle outfit to my homage to my little mini vacation.

Lest We Forget

Damn!  It has been one crazy ass week.  I've been preparing to go out of town all week.  Mind you, I'm only going to be gone for a couple of days, but it's been about 2 years since I've been away from home more than 24 hours.  I'm going to be gone, not only for Veteran's Day, but also my anniversary.  EEEEKKK!!!  Great timing, right?!?!
I didn't want to get out of town without paying respect to our Heroes.  I am thankful for every soldier that has ever laced up their boots to serve their country.  An immense gratitude goes out to you for putting your lives on the line so we don't have too.  You ARE loved and appreciated.

I'm anti-mesh.  Well, I'm not anti-mesh.  I'm anti-"the damn mesh viewers that lag me to hell".  That being said,  I've been itching to buy these awesome tucked fatigue pants and boots from Deco.  They look fan-freaking-tastic in the ads.  They look even better one I broke down and logged in to a mesh viewer and slipped them on.  I LOVE these pants and boots.  I just might come around to mesh after all.

Thank you to all our service men and women and especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Also,  Thank you to my beautiful wife for being so good to me and being exactly what I needed even when I didn't know what I needed.  I love you!  Happy anniversary.

See Y'all in a couple of days.

Sometimes, when you least expect it...

I wanted to get out and have a few beers.  Not worry about anything, not bouncing across the grid looking for my next outfit to blog.  I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts.  I wandered into an empty pub and ordered a stout of the best local beer they had.  I shuffled over to a table and placed my beer in front of me.  I was lost in the trance of the crackling fire that was smouldering the fireplace.  I watched as the ember glowed through various shades of red and orange.  The flames licked upwards, just kissing the top bricks.

I felt something shift in the ambiance.  The air itself seem to dance around a little more excitedly.  My eyes drifted towards the door just in time to see her walk in.  There was something electrifying in her presence.  I couldn't take my eyes off of her, no matter how hard I tried.  Her hips sashayed passed me after ordering her fancy Italian wine. 



It was just my luck that she sat behind me.  I could still feel her every movement.  Her shoes clicked on the old wood floors as she slide herself into the booth.  I was alone with my thoughts.  There was no denying that now.  They raced through my mind like the wind rustling through an open wheat field.
"Who was she? Why did she have this effect on me? What was it about this woman that took my breath right through my lips?"  I was compelled to approach her.  It was all I could think about.  How could I approach her when I couldn't even utter a word, much less form a coherent sentence?

I looked over my shoulder and her eyes met mine.  I was stunned.  Her eyes were warm and inviting.  It was like she was putting my mind at ease.  I planted my feet firmly under me, praying that my knees wouldn't buckle under my weight.  I managed to make my way to the bar and told the tender that I needed a couple of shot of his finest whiskey.

I tried to act all smooth and suave as I traced my steps back to her table.  I did my best to hide the sweat starting to penetrate the skin on my palms.  There was no hiding it though,  this woman made me nervous.  I'm not sure if it was a good nervous or a bad nervous, but I wanted to find out more about this woman.

The corners of her lips started to turn upwards as she watched me make my way to her table.  I introduced myself and invited her to join me on the couch.  She boldly took the shot from my hand and downed it before I could bring mine to my lips.  This woman was brazen indeed.  Beautiful AND brazen.  Just what I look for in a woman.  I followed her as she walked over to the sofa and we begin chatting.  It seemed like I had known her all my life.  This woman was so much more than I could have ever imagined.


She made me laugh.  I knew I was going to wake up with an aching stomach tomorrow morning.  We laughed until we cried.  I would catch myself getting lost in her eyes.  They drew me in and held me there.

After a few (what seemed like minutes) hours of laughing and talking, I asked her to dance.  I had to feel her in my embrace.  I wanted to know what it was like to have her soft silken skin against mine.



It was more than I could have ever imaged.  Our energies flowed freely between us.  It felt as though I was floating across the floor.  She made everything feel so effortlessly.  It was though I was watching myself from above. 

As the sun started to break the horizon, I knew I had to let her go.  It took all my might to let her slip from my grasp.  I knew I'd be seeing her again though.  I could feel it with everything I had in me.  This was going to be one woman I wouldn't soon forget out.
