Neutral
*still waiting my MR set to be bought
*I'm a bit worried to send in new stuff
*the inability of the internet people to understand a) the meaning of tagging system (not just here, I hate unuseful LJ-tags, tagging your coffee mug as a person in FB, etc - I'm a bit autistic when it comes to proper use of a system) b) "I tagged 'bum' on set X and now it has someone else's name next to it, OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS???!" *head -> desk*
*my inability to understand less tech savvy people
Negative
-Tiredness
-Too much things to do in a short period of time
-Need to find a new job or find the courage to sell myself as a freelancer (we Finns tend to be bad at giving praise to ourselves)
-Need to pay some student benefits back and don't have the money because of the move
Well, I'll try to stay focused on the good things like free weekend to make good food and take pics, my new baby (Cherry's old Sigma) I'm in love with and my kick-ass MR set which I leave behind the spoilers
ps. I'm making myself a cartfly store on https://venlation.cartfly.com/ and will be putting more prints there. I know the prices are a bit high compared to US girls but the posting is included and would be around $10 to most of the countries. If you are interested in buying a print from my Zivity set (joining is still free) just email me the # of the pics ![]()


It is inspired by my love for old scool fetish photography, film noir and early studies on dissatsfied women in suburbs. Dedicated to Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, this set explores one way of coping with the problem with no name.


I love to see how my visions evolve when working with someone and bring out results that exceed the original idea and bring out something extraordinary.


I'm extremely satisfied how this set came out and pleased to be able to share our work with you.
Love,
Venla

Found a free WLAN that worked only around the kitchen window and resumed my IRC screen

The beginning of this year has been like starting a new book you have never heard of nor have idea what it is about but have a nice feeling that it'll be a good one.

I must admit that my perfectionism affects my life too much - for example I've been unable to answer my messages or comments here because a) I feel like I can't come up with anything interesting to say and b) English isn't my mother tongue so I feel a bit crippled with my communication. I shouldn't try so hard and just do things instead but it's easier to say than to do

Things I'm looking forward to this year
*my burlesque troupe's shows
*studying and taking some really interesting courses
*hoping to finally travel to US
*photographing

Sawa's new set made me remember how much I love latex ...and how hard it is to find latex dresses and corsets for curvy girls.

*yawn* Some more tea for me, midwinter, even though now the sun shines a few minutes more every day, makes me so sleepy... zzz.....

I finished my, um, fift? paper today and won't have to write anything except for a small and informal report before January. Yay! Weirdly the relief makes me want to clean my house and go to a gym instead of doing normal post-stress stuff like sleeping for days and watching movies
I haven't had much time to spend in here for a few months, sorry for that. Have to say i haven't had time for anything else either.

I went to see a play a few weeks ago, one of my rare free nights. The set was made to reseble a pre-WWII era bar and the actors wandered among the audience who were sipping red wine as if they were customers in the bar. I loved it. ♥

But mostly I've just been sitting here with my books and I actually love it too. I've realized I'm easily fascinated by almost any kind of information, whether it be about the history of music or astrophysics. Of course I have my favourites among social sciences and cultural studies, but at times I wish I could achieve the the genius and knowledge of a Donna universale (and now I wish I could inflect latin).
But since it's my first free weekend in a while, I'll spoil myself with really suspicious and vicious thins like

...getting to know Northrend and WotLK content (and hopefully raiding too)

...and knit in candlelight

Thank you all for your comments and feedback that made it go live -I know it's not the most original set or as creative as some of my older ones. But I wanted my first set in two years to be simple, intimate and truthful.

And since I know it is going to allure certain type of comments I'll post the answers even though most of the anonymous taggers and myspace flamers don't read the blogs
...yes, I'm aware of the fact that I'm not size 0 nor do I look like a blow-up doll. There are plenty of sites to suit those fantasies. No need to pay monthly fee for self-defined sets if you wish to have yours served in a more normative manner.
...no, I am not interested in your opininions about my body shape, hair or art. Ref. prevorious statement.
...and since this is the site where women choose to present themselves in the way they like to, I'm not interested in your posing advice either. You don't need to tell me that the set lacks of pussy shoots, I'm sort-of aware of that too, being the model, photographer and -shopper.
More about the choice not to airbrush my skin from my prevorious blog
Too bad I'm not into fighting on the Internet anymore, would like to question some people's reasons and reasoning. Calling girls chubby, ugly or picking on their personal features is a way to control them, showing them their place, making sure they will be crying over unrealistic ideals instead of fulfilling their own fantasies. Luckily those comments don't have such a big effect on me anymore since I've long since realized the connections between power and beauty ideals but I cannot help myself thinking how will they affect someone else with same features but less feminist rage?
And at times I just wish people wouldn't complain about not getting hamburgers when they voluntarily venture into a sushi bar ![]()

On other news, got to see Front 242 at Alternative party, a demoparty/digital culture festival last friday. The theme was steampunk and despite the fact I didn't have the time to get myself a full Victorian outfit, I was pretty happy with what I found in my closet

The corset fit surprisingly well though I haven't been tight lacing in years.

It's autumn. That means loads of work. I'll need to read two books, around ten articles and write a few essays, seminaire papers etc. within a few weeks. So I'm really sorry for not being able to answer all your comments right away, but I'll be back soon ![]()
In the meantime, take a look at these sets in member review

Miranda - Heavenly Creature by me

Korento - Ordeal by Roses by me

and

Lumiere - Liberty by Cherry ♥

They are all great and these girls truly deserve to have new sets. They are from the time MR sets didn't show on front page so I think many of you might have missed them.
But off to work it is, many pages of surrogate decision making to read now.

p.s. sexy feminist might be my favourite tag, ever
