“After the first glass of absinthe you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see them as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world. I mean disassociated. Take a top hat. You think you see it as it really is. But you don’t because you associate it with other things and ideas.If you had never heard of one before, and suddenly saw it alone, you’d be frightened, or you’d laugh. That is the effect absinthe has, and that is why it drives men mad. Three nights I sat up all night drinking absinthe, and thinking that I was singularly clear-headed and sane. The waiter came in and began watering the sawdust.The most wonderful flowers, tulips, lilies and roses, sprang up, and made a garden in the cafe. “Don’t you see them?” I said to him. “Mais non, monsieur, il n’y a rien.”
-- Oscar Wilde
Santa came sooner and gave me the wolf ... ... but I am the wolf and he is my bot! Everything is possible in virtual worlds! :) (Beautiful Winterfell, home.)
Apate from The Wolf Shop uploads some of my pics (if faved) as freebies for SL residents.
In my new home, we keep the thermostat cold enough that 'room temperature' alcohol wouldn't burn! I had to heat this slowly in a double boiler before I could get the shot. Unexpected.

I’m not an expert on the subject, but these do appear to be absinthe spoons. My wife disagrees with my opinion. I doubt these are literally for the preparation of absinthe, but the perforations appear to be inspired by the highly imaginative perforations of absinthe spoons.

And here's the second image from a shoot last weekend.
We made the most of the last warm days here in the south of France, and we shot on location.
The model is Béa and she came to me with the idea of the shoot: Lady Absinthe, the green fairy from the beverage.
Hair and makeup were done by the talented Clara.

Et voilà une deuxième image de la série du weekend dernier pendant lequel on a pu profiter des derniers jours de chaleur ici pour aller shooter dehors.
La modèle est Béa et c'est elle qui est venue me chercher avec son idée de thème sur la fée verte de l'Absinthe. Elle s'est occupé de monter tout le projet, elle a trouvé les accessoires et le stylisme, la maquilleuse/coiffeuse (Clara) qui a fait d'ailleurs du super boulot, et elle a coordonné tout le monde... C'est suffisamment rare pour être remarqué !
C'était un très beau thème assez original. Et l'histoire assez controversée de l'absinthe, son lien étroit avec les arts et la littérature, son côté mystérieux... ont fait que j'ai tout de suite été séduit par l'idée.

For this week's Me Again Monday "Alcohol" theme.
Pernod isn't everyone's choice, but I'm a fan.
No green fairies to report, but the perfect excuse to chase some of the cold away.

Want to drink ? :D
Anyone know any other color ? I think yellow is the rarest.
Szép színesek sajnálnám őket meginni :)
Ki melyiket issza ? :)
Sárga az ritka abból még nem láttam másikat.
""Az elso pohár után olyannak látod a dolgokat, amilyenek, A második pohár után olyannak látod oket, amilyennek szeretnéd oket, A harmadik pohár után olyannak látod oket, amilyenek valójában, S ez a legszörnyubb dolog a világon... " Oscar Wilde"
“The first stage is like ordinary drinking, the second when you begin to see
monstrous and cruel things, but if you can persevere you will enter in upon the
third stage where you see things that you want to see, wonderful curious things.
One night I was left sitting, drinking alone and very late in the Café Royal, and I
had just got into this third stage when a waiter came in with a green apron and
began to pile the chairs on the tables."
Érdekes ,hogy a magyar elég csúnyán elvan fordítva :)
