DESERT DANCER

How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair
And how many times do you swear
that you'll never love again?

How many lonely, sleepless nights
How many lies, how many fights
And why would you want to put
yourself through all that again?

Stand up all you lovers in the world

Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl

Stand up all you lovers in the world

Starting up a brand new day ...

You know, not all matches are made in heaven.



Some are made to ensure enduring misery for everyone involved. Lucifer keeps a particularly talented Yenta on retainer.



At least the coat and shoes are a match made in heaven. The colors weren't identical, but the shoes were unrigged mesh so I could tint them pretty close to the right color.  :)

Hat: Schadenfreude "Black Scratch Tophat"
Purse: G Field "Heart Bag"

HUNTING SEASON

I stopped running about to take a little walk.

This spot has the sweetest little path with a covered bridge. It was calling my name.

I turned off my computer yesterday and went looking for colored leaves. These are brighter orange, but I saw the real leaves with dog and daughter.

Most of this outfit I picked up at Collabor88. I think I bought half the store before I noticed the little candy hunt that was going on. Find twelve candies that contain six colors of culottes and six bustiers too. Did I ever say I love long culottes with boots? This plum-colored pant is just my thing.

HOT FOR ZOMBIES

Usually I'm just a wallflower.

But when I met him I just couldn't help myself. We danced all night. (And let me say, for the undead he was shockingly light on his feet.)

Then abruptly, everything went wrong ... just a little nosebleed sent him completely around the bend. But I kept a cool head.

I had to get all kung fu on him for a minute.

But hey, it was all just a misunderstanding.
