Me and Karma Vibe Like THAT…

I’ve been in SL for a little over 14 years. Damn. When I first started I was in my early 20’s and now I’m in my 30’s. Crazy. The lure of SL is still so appealing to me but for very different reasons now that I’m older. In the beginning, I toyed with modeling. I moved on to blogging, but my blogging was sporadic. It depended on my mood and what music I was listening to at the time, which was a LOT of Taylor Swift. Sorry, not sorry dear reader. My goal this year is to blog more often, return to the diary style (with music, duh), and find new designers and pose creators. After all, it’s why I’m still here.

Ask me what I learned from all those years
Ask me what I earned from all those tears
Ask me why so many fade, but I’m still here
(I’m still, I’m still here)

‘Cause karma is the thunder
Rattling your ground
Karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter
Karma’s gonna track you down
Step by step from town to town
Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
Karma takes all my friends to the summit
Karma is the guy on the screen
Coming straight home to me

‘Cause karma is my boyfriend (karma is my boyfriend)
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (weekend)
Karma’s a relaxing thought
Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that

Karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god

Karma’s a relaxing thought

Now that we don’t talk

You went to a party
I heard from everybody
You part the crowd like the Red Sea
Don’t even get me started
Did you get anxious though
On the way home?
I guess I’ll never, ever know
Now that we don’t talk

You grew your hair long
You got new icons
And from the outside, it looks like you’re trying lives on
I miss the old ways
You didn’t have to change
But I guess I don’t have a say
Now that we don’t talk

I call my mom, she said that it was for the best
Remind myself the more I gave, you’d want me less
I cannot be your friend
So I pay the price of what I lost
And what it cost
Now that we don’t talk

What do you tell your friends, we
Shared dinners, long weekends with
Truth is I can’t pretend it’s
Platonic, it’s just ended

So I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest
Remind myself the way you faded ’til I left
I cannot be your friend
So I pay the price of what I lost
And what it cost
Now that we don’t talk

I don’t have to pretend I like acid rock
Or that I’d like to be on a mega yacht
With important men who think important thoughts
Guess maybe I am better off
Now that we don’t talk
And the only way back to my dignity
Was to turn into a shrouded mystery
Just like I had been when you were chasing me
Guess this is how it was to be
Now that we don’t talk

Help, I’m still at the restaurant…

Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, “What a sad sight”

I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
I’m sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I’m unaware
‘Cause I’m right where
I cause no harm, mind my business
If our love died young, I can’t bear witness
And it’s been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong

I’m right where you left me

Better start believin’ 

I’ve been fortunate to see my favorite artist in RL several times this year. Do you know who else I’m looking forward to seeing? The Def Leppard Tribute Concert! I saw them last year and I was amazed by their talent! This year I took advantage of checking out the stage before they perform at Rock Your Rack 2023. I’m so excited! They perform opening day on Friday, September 29, 2023 from 6 pm to 9 pm SLT.

I’m wearing “Groovy” by Hot N Heavy, an exclusive item, at Rock Your Rack 2023. It gives me serious rock and roll vibes. Click here to see other events happening at Rock Your Rack 2023!

Barbie in the virtual world? It’s possible.

Okay, my SL bod isn’t that voluptuous and my skin is pale (sorry Malibu Barbie, but I did go blonde!), but wasn’t diversity the point of the movie Barbie? I LOVE Kennedy Fairlane’s creation because who doesn’t want to be a Barbie? It’s a limited edition piece and you’ll find it at Rock Your Rack 2023. Presented by Models Giving Back Rock Your Rack is an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance, and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.

Of course, it’s pink. Barbiecore lives on! I escaped my box and now I’m a real Barbie.

The limited edition includes all accessories including the shoes as seen above. There’s more too! Rock Your Rack 2023 opens on Friday, Sep 29, 2023!
