This year is winding down to the final moments quicker than I can type up a blog post. Across the seas in Australia they'll be celebrating 2019 well before the darkness envelops the United States. There is no stopping the current of an electrified 2018 whether we choose to frame it and rest it's shine on a mantle or crumble it up and toss it away so we can start renewed with higher hopes in another 365 day set. However you spent your year, in tears or with smiles I hope that the one thing you never forget is the love that was shared not just here but from every surrounding corner of this planet that we call our home. We aren't just citizens of a neighborhood, city, state, or even country. We are global citizens and this love from thousands of miles away is meant for you, you, and even you. Don't let a few bruises set up a fence when January 1st comes in like a raging bull but rather stand up and let the world know you've got this thing called life left in you.
We talk about resolutions and making a better person of ourselves all the time. Some of us fall off that bandwagon days into the new year, but what is a resolution or change if it's something everyone around you is doing? What is a resolution if we're trying to follow some predetermined map our friend or family members said worked for them last go around. It's awesome to have long term goals, sure, but some of us just want to see tomorrow. Some of us want to say "hey, today I'm going to do the laundry and tomorrow I'm finally asking my coworker out on a date" and you know what? That's okay.
I can't plan anything long term because my mind is, truthfully, fucked up like a crosswired piece of technology that short circuits and increases the volume when you hit the off button. I have to function with a pad of paper, a list of things to do, and go one by one down the list until I hit the evening, tomorrow, or three days from now. Don't make a resolution for yourself because someone told you to do it or go about it the same way that worked for someone else. You think about what you want in life and take steps to get there in your time in your own way. Make 2019 the year a difference in made however large or small and don't worry about the folks around you losing weight, getting married, finally backpacking Europe, or whatever anyone decides to do. If this means simply getting out of the house a few days, finding a reason to not fake a smile any longer, or telling someone how you feel about them then do it and don't waste time bragging about it because this year is for YOU. Sure, I'd love to hear about your accomplishments however small, but seeing a smile on your face tells me everything I need to know and the journey that got you right there is/was your journey so you do you and let that shine spread like an infection to make this world the loving place it needs to be.
Sorry for the long introduction. A lot of political music, way too many blogs read about resolutions and what works or never works, blah blah blah... I always have a lot on my mind. I won't keep you from the "beauty" part of the blog so we should really get started. First, I want to give a quick shout out to some people that offered me support, inspired me to be greater than myself, tagged me in posts even though I'm still not sure I'm worthy, and showed me love behind the scenes through texts/Snapchat/Whatsapp because they're that cool. In no particular order: @kungfury, @leemalee, @rambo, @missy, @redkaya, @nickstone, @diamant, @nebula, @elune_, @silentobjectorx, @chroi, @hiptobes, @aurralee, @kaliva, @ravenskarlette. Y'all showed me mad love this past week (or a little longer) and I hope you all have a wonderful finale to 2018 and 2019 becomes the year you make this world yours.
@fennek in Samhain by @blackfrog
Who better to headline this post than someone representing one of my favorite holiday seasons than @fennek? In the Midwest the leaves start to change colors and look beautiful as they litter the streets and parks nearby with colors ranging from yellows to dark browns. The cool breeze means I get to sort through a closet full of hoodies that, luckily, @magnea isn't anywhere close to or else she might steal a few. I own quite a few because I'm always lending them to female friends that sometimes don't return them for many moons. The celebration of Dia de los Muertos allows us to once again feel the love of friends and family passed. The list could go on, but this post isn't so much about me as the people that share their beautiful personalities with us through creativity like this very set.
I am unfortunate enough to only be learning about this truly lovely lady now because her time here began when I took a lengthy leave of absence so I missed at least two prior sets that sit as SOTDs in her portfolio. Creature Fear and Stairway to Heaven by @shaine are beautiful sets that I surely need to visit after this post is published. Her eyes a bewitching spell of fresh brewed magic swirling with earthen tones reflecting a spirit filled with love, her cloak a sheer shadow revealing her feminine beauty while gently obstructing the clarity that might steal your heart too quickly. I knew her not before this set, but as the spirits "Walk Among Us" (of course I needed a Misfits nod) so does her beauty walk along my heart with toes gently caressing the essence of my heart.
I leave you with my commentary because, well, I enjoyed writing it and I thought it summed up the set well (with a personal twist): "I don't know if it was Love Potion Number 9 or if she cast a spell on me, but whatever the lyrical content this living song lyric stole my heart and made it hers from the very start. It doesn't even take a tarot card reading to see how my feelings for her enveloped her presence like a costume we'd wear on the night of Halloween or Di de los Muertos, celebrating the spirits of loved ones, the beginning of winter, and all those things that would take up too much commentary if I spelled it all out for you. This lone wolf known to us as @fennek caught me in her gaze and had my raven quoting "forevermore" for the love I developed for her. It may no longer be Samhain, but this belated celebration still lingers in my heart when it comes to the capture by @blackfrog as evidence how beautiful tradition can be."
@sarahmoon in Roam the Room by @aurralee
What can I say about @sarahmoon that I haven't said in a minimum of 5 blog posts this year already? It took a long time to see her go pink with a SOTD despite having numerous beautiful sets. Face to Face by @psypher was a bedroom set that introduced me to a little sin called lust after seeing just how red hot she looked in (and out) of a sexy little red number that licked her curves like flames. Promise Everything by @leemalee was a big topic for private discussion between @aflalimo and myself for too long after the set dropped. If the topic of conversation wasn't @romany or @vexaltyn then it was this particular set as we competed over who might swoon harder and how we might go full neanderthal schoolboy and fight over her (if we were simple minded and the three of us all shared class together). I don't think she gets far down the road without boys and girls turning heads everywhere she walks. Those eyes are an addiction that can't be satisfied and that smile is as devious as it is soul-stirring.
Bark at the Moon by @just_sick had me howling like the bearded lumberjack werewolf I am and Stardust by @shaine is SOTD for good reason. I'm blushing and daydreaming already over it. I'll never forget Recess by @joelaphoto and that cute hat atop her head. @kezia offered us a solo pillow fight I could only have dreamed possible, but those dreams of slumber parties and (excuse my forward commentary) kisses every time I won spin the bottle still linger like the feathers likely did after they attempted to clean up that mess. When you linger in thought just enough to enter private conversation then you know you've made an impression and although I no longer have my good buddy @aflalimo to chat with here I am always open to talk starry eyed love interests in private if anyone else feels the same way about this Wicked Witch of the West Coast that is Winning Love by Daylight. Mr door is always open for real talk about current mental states or just to shoot around silly love talk, so feel free to hit me up.
@ultramarie in Daydreaming by @mel_z
"Daydreaming of the sweet @ultramarie is commonplace among SG members and models alike. For years she taught us Kitchen Tricks, gifted us as a gorgeous Christmas Guest, was the Pippi Longstocking of our childhood turned adult fantasy, a Jessica Rabbit we'll surely never forget, and a Siren of the deep beckoning our hearts to sing for her. Now she sits pretty among white background as heavenly as her appearance, so beautiful and sincere. Her red hair the splash of color as vibrant as her heart, her smile a sweet dollop of honey, and those eyes a chocolatier's dream. If you haven't swooned to the tune of this @mel_z set then you've been sleeping too long because this red haired raven flew into my heart and rapped at my heart chamber door. What it feels like to be in love, indeed." (by EKaterina, @conebal, @juliaprudence, two by @akril - in order of sets linked)
Deep In Forest was a big bad wolf's dream as the lovely red plaid dressed vixen took a journey deep into the woods as a delightful treat for the eyes as well as every sense we might be capable. Adwanture Time by @natalia_randle marked herself as the only princess I care to save, love, cherish, and blush over. Put me in Finn's bunny earned hood and I'll chase her around like Jake the Dog. Okay, so Jake wouldn't exactly go Snoop Dogg and "be like that. Why must I chase the cat? Nuttin but the dogg in me," but you likely understood before I dared explain. The sheer number of sets she's released over the past few years is almost too much for one heart to take let alone the 2-4k hearts she's received making it sheer insanity that some never made SOTD despite being superbly composed sets. I won't go into those politics, but as a Russian beauty, I'd love her to infiltrate my heart just like all those American movies about Russian spies (so I'm a James Bond fan, sue me). Stereotypes aside, she really is a sweet thang and this set is that next leap onto SOTD if @mel_z has anything to say about it. Did we not just discuss all her sets in my last blog? I'm sweating from the heat already.
@sirenn in You Must Be a Weasley by @waikiki
Today is the day that I spend way too much time looking back at older sets rather than discussing the sets I'm presenting here and now. @sirenn is another one of those models that has an entire catalog of amazing sets shot by the likes of @coolicio, @kyla, @atlanticlungs, and @victory. @frankndame helped her earn two SOTDs with Feelin' Myself and Lavender featuring @kettle. Everything from her truly adorable cheekbones to her smile and her wondrous curves turn my stomach into a downright mess of excitement and nerves. She can go from adorable nerd in Jur[ass]ic to sultry mermaid in both Mermaid Waters and Kiss the Girl. She's the sweet to the heat and the smile to rule them all. Whether she's dancing or sharing the pay off of hard work to sculpt her body right there is zero denial that hearts leap from chests just like in the cartoons and a dash of drool is normalcy.
We had @channy showing us it was a blast to be Slytherin and casting spells in the woods with big smiles and heart-breaking charm while @nebula was chasing Fantastic Beasts armed with a smile and more muscle than me after about a gazillion Spartan Races this past year alone. Now we see @sirenn offer her own Potter twist as she casts a spell so seductive that I swear she's not the innocent Ariel I thought she once was as she chased Prince Eric around with Sebastien and Flounder at her side. I might still sing "Kiss the Girl" to myself every time I see her face and imagine what it must be like to caress those beautiful cheekbones, but this is magic gone so adult even I blush redder than her hair or lingerie as I gaze into her eyes and let her magic take over my thoughts and emotions without any resistance. In fact, I offer it up freely now.
It's sexy, yet playful. It's as grounded in reality as it is magic. If there is any model on this site that can drop hearts to the floor at the snap of a finger and still be as much fun as a Disney movie it's this woman right here. She's tough, works hard, dances harder, smiles like she walks on sunshine, and has as much fun looking sexy as she does watching Jurassic Park and Little Mermaid. She's a multi-tool human capable of doing just about anything and somehow has the capability to show off every little aspect without turning to the next chapter or a new scene. I love a bright @kettle smile (and @channy's too), seeing @mariajupiter cosplay, and @monteluxe drop her own brand of beauty, @arachnie being a fantastic f$cking human for being as real as she is beautiful, and everything about the many Aussie ladies I didn't name just now, but this one in particular is always setting fires and leaving me to spend an embarrassing amount of time sorting through her old sets every time a new one hits MR.
In fact, I believe you should check out @kettle's Aussie Member Review Love: Part Thirty-Four!
@deskicio in Heartless by @fromlimbo
I swear I'm not on drugs, but my heart feels like it's on emotional speed. I'm only on the fifth set for this blog post and my heart is racing like I'm meeting up with a girl for the first time in 10 years. Maybe it's the amount of amazing sets and beautiful women I've covered so far and maybe I'm just in a really loving mood today. Whatever my excuse is for being overly distracted and feeling an overwhelming sense of love I must go on and share with you the lovely @deskicio. Though Night Stand Doll by @deoxan was released shortly after my birthday and a perfect gift in itself to offer such cuteness and smiles, I have an utter obsession with this set partially because I love her hair. The purple and black combo is color therapy for my heart, only this therapy is an instruction in love affairs.
Her soft pink lingerie is as cute as it is sexy, her eyes a penetrating mixture of humble ground and sweet chocolate, and her petite curves are a dance of sugar plum fairies as passionately purple as they are warm like her smile. I don't know how I missed so many beautiful sets like the hot Kush Time shot by @dareal and featuring @haze. I don't get high on anything but love and life, but this set has me tripping over a double dose of beauty so organically gorgeous I can feel the fumes enter my lungs. Wake Up With Me sounds like the perfect invite and I only dream she might send some of those cute selfies to my lonely and normally quiet phone. Crying Lightning by @edgarvargas was the perfect combination of Vitamin C and D splashed with sweet smiles and and one of the most adorable vixens to offer a poolside set on SG. I may be amidst a swirling love affair during this entire post, but the only way this latest set could possibly be heartless would be due to the fact my heart just about jumped out of my chest and into her arms leaving me without one as she stole mine!
@jelly and @dyogenes in The Last One Kiss by @minuminula
Like a swirling array of rainbow colors, these vibrant haired beauties lock hypnotic eyes and tender lips to create a fire so hot the passionate heat spun their petite curves into a tangled mess of desire and art. It has been said that love making can be an art, but when the canvas is a heavenly white hue and the palette contains the likes of @jelly and @dyogenes then there is no doubt that tender touch and the spillage of hair upon bosom is masterpiece. Every finger spelling out a love poem as fingerprints slide across skin, arms and legs wind around in spirals to hug and provide warmth at the center of the flaming heart, and the pure sex spoken upon silent lips brings imagination into reality. There is no easy way to describe a multi when the overwhelming overture entrances your thoughts and plays every heart string like master violinist.
I never could settle my emotions enough to give an equal gift of love to the kindling that keeps my passionate fires burning like multis presented on this site, but I hope even through minimal description and visual presentation you, too, could enjoy the warmth of a love shared between beauties that inspire and take over our every bit of admiration.
Although the text is long and the amount of sets are short, I must cut short and run for now. I have a few things to do around the house and spent more time looking through sets than actually typing this blog so the time escaped me and I really must adult before this new year hits. I hope to come back later tonight to cover @krito, @mariselle, @ashena, @killer_katrin, @shesuseless, @biahink (again so soon), @amandaellen, @missbonesxtc, and maybe a couple more. It was my every intention to gather them all in one blog, but time escapes me and I'm fairly overwhelmed with emotion and love right now. The things these ladies do to my heart without even realizing it!
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend. If I don't get the chance to talk to you before New Year's Eve then have a wonderful New Year!
Xander
