Is it possible to fall in love with a virtual mate? In Second Life, couples prove that theory on a regular basis. They do fall in love. Sometimes, it lasts and sometimes it doesn't.
Those that last are a remarkable group of couples. They are remarkable both in SL and RL where the divorce rate matches the break-ups in SL!
My partner, Xavier and I enjoy SL very much. We dance, we explore, we network, we chill, we love and we have a blast doing silly things.
So many places offer romantic areas such as ballrooms, chill zones and explorations. Here are some of our favorites...
Avilion Ballroom is a special favorite of mine. It's where I first danced with my first crush... and now I dance here with my partner. Recently, renovated, the Avilion offers a beautiful place to romance each other.
Phatland is another. More jazz music than Avilion, Phat's is a sophisticated club for couples. Beautifully built, we seem to frequent this place a lot.
Another great ballroom venue is Frank's Place. A lot of avies hang out here, so do prepare for a bit of lag. I suggest that you arrive early so that you can grab a spot on the dance floor.
A smaller club that we frequent regularly is the MMAC Jazz Link. Every week, DJ VJ Shojo spins an eclectic set of jazz and indie tunes. Very chill and very romantic little jazz club. Dash Renoir is the perfect host there.
Then there's the beautiful Ballroom">Palace, where grand is an understatement. We usually arrive to a nearly empty place dancing alone in our own world. Very romantic.
But, the most grand of all is a recent discovery. Tempura Island and Ballroom is the epitome of a lover's paradise. Grand and magnificent, the ballroom is done in gold gilt, with a beautiful ceiling and wall textures. The stairs leading to the ballroom and castle are simple but ever so opulent. This is an LM that I have sent to all my friends! LOL!
And we still frequent the clubs that offer a place for us. A place where we can be a couple without the drama that other places bring...
We hit Dorian Gray for DJ Barbs set and Xavier set off his JMD particle hud for a romantic interlude on the dance floor. So fun!
A big thanks to DJ Dint Talon for an awesome night over at IPR365 Milky Way Entertainment complex's K-Lounge. OMG, we had a blast! DJ Dint was spinning an incredible set of jungle, tribal, trance... you name it, he was spinning it! We stayed until the end!
We also went to Bogart's Cafe which is kinda a ballroom and kinda a lounge setting. You can dress in ballroom or cocktail dress there. We often go in between clubbing for a quick ballroom dance to lovely jazz music.
We usually stop off at Spanish DJ Sonar Halsey's Future Club. It is always psy heaven there! And BassLine Island for some hardcore tunes to get the blood pumping. Both are fun clubs for couples to hang at and dance.
And when we explore, we always seem to find the cutest places such as Midnight City for NBC's romantic dinner club, Rainbow Room Dining and the Italian pizza place that reminds me of North Beach in San Francisco!
The other night, Xavi took me to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's build featuring an interactive floor of of the entire world's atmosphere! Wow! This from the US Department of Commerce!
And, when we chill at home we can be silly and set off our particles and dance or pull all our emotes and gestures for hours of silliness.
Couples in Second Life are just like couples in real life. They play, they love, they emote real emotions towards each other... and as best friends, they share the best of Second Life together.
Te extraño
Fui a dormir una niña y desperté una mujer...me enamore de tu esencia y de tu ausencia, porque te extraño cuando no estas.....
I miss you
I went to sleep as a girl and wake up a woman....i fell in love with your absence and your essence, because i miss you when you are gone...
The rookery at the Audubon Forest at Magnolia Plantation was the single best place I have visited in at least the past year. 2 hours of heaven for this photographer and the new 55-300 telephoto lens. Even with a broken wrist in a cast. Great Whit Egrets were the most prevalent, but there were plenty of blue and green herons, and other birds.

I was loving these pictures of Love Mission, I thought she looked so great, and then I realized I liked her cuz the slight curl in her hair reminded me of Cherry Berry. Poor LM always second best.

It is said that love is the sugar and salt of life and I could't agree more!
Whose life being truly loved and having love to offer is not filled with happiness, pleasure and interest?
Love is candy sweet and spicy at the same time.
It can move virtual mountains and transform personalities and lives.
So, dear all, good morning on a Tuesday :)
Today I've made some time for blogging and posting as there's much going on and so little of it shared actually!
So, taking one thing at a time, starting by posting this week's theme collaboration diptych between lovely Kee and me.
Our project is already a month old and we are celebrating!
This week's theme has been "the senses". Kee submitted beautiful pictures - as always - on all 5 of them, still I couldn't get my eyes of these heart shaped cookies photographed in the sunlight. I found them to pair nicely with the snack I had photographed months ago*, which had been bitten shaping a heart.
Here it is and we both hope that you enjoy :)
There'll be a summary post on all we've done together so far over at Domestic stories tonight.
I'll let you know when it's aired and we'd both love that you left a thought or two for us!
Kee will be back with us tomorrow and I'm sure it'll be a nice welcome for her to find the post along with your comments.

home from camp for the weekend!
first of all, sorry for disappearing for a while... i can't wait to catch up on everyone's streams.
oh, and this is sooc. :) i'm really happy with it.
i helped with photo camp this week (YAY), so these hands belong to two of my cabin girls. it was a difficult week, sorting out drama and campers wanting to leave, but it ended on a good note. i wouldn't trade this last week for anything.
Ένα αρχαίο βιβλίο λέει:
Τέσσερις συνδαιτυμόνες αποφασίζουν να πλέξουν ένα εγκώμιο για τον έρωτα
Ο ένας απ' αυτούς μιλά για το αρχαίο γένος του ανδρόγυνου, τότε που δεν υπήρχαν φύλα... Αλλά προσέβαλαν τους θεούς και αυτοί τους τιμώρησαν, τους χώρισαν σε άνδρες και γυναίκες... Τότε γεννήθηκε ο πόθος και ο έρωτας, η προσπάθεια όλων μας να ξαναγυρίσουμε στην αρχική μας φύση...
Μα το ερώτημα παραμένει...
Τι είναι στην πραγματικότητα ο έρωτας;
Ένα γιγαντιαίο κύμα
που καταπίνει τα πάντα
στο πέρασμά του...
Η πρωϊνή δροσιά
σε μία ολάνθιστη αμυγδαλιά
νωρίς την άνοιξη...
Η πονηριά
του Οδυσσέα
για να κατακτήσει την Τροία...
Το θάρρος
των αδύναμων
απένατι στους δυνατούς...
Το πιθάρι
των Δαναϊδων,
πάντα γεμάτο, πάντα άδειο...
Ευλογία
και κατάρα,
δίδυμα αδέλφια σε αέναη μάχη επικράτησης...
Μα εσύ Προμηθέα
θα απαρνιόσουν την αθάνατη φύση σου
για μία θνητή ζωή;
...............................................................................................................................................................
My try for translation, sorry if isn't good...
A ancient book says:
Four table companions decide they weave a story for love...
The one from them he speaks for the ancient gender of androgynous being, then that did not exist seces... But offended the gods and these punished them separated in men and women... Then were given birth the desire and the love, the effort of all of us for the begin in our initial nature...
But the question remains...
What is love in reality?
A giant wave
that swallows
everything in his passage...
The morning dew
in a blossom almond tree
early spring...
The mischief
of Odysseus
in order to it conquers the Troj'a...
The courage
of the weak people
between the strongs...
The pot
of Danaidon,
always full, always empty...
Bless and curse,
twin brothers
in endless battle of predominance...
But you Prometheus
you will leave your immortal nature
for a ordinary live?

Last winter I took this series of photos for my friends, CM & Pauline. My first time taking such 'lovely' photos. And it was such an especial experience to witness their love and commitment.
All my best to you my dear Flickr friends!! Wish you and who you love happy every day!!

Love, Henry - a beautiful build by Tahiti Rae that asks the question, "What if Henry VIII never executed Anne Boleyn?"
Sadly, I think his desire for a new wife thoroughly overcame whatever love he had, and he thoroughly hated her by the time he had Anne killed.
Some pictures were taken with the advanced lighting model on. Some aren't. I had a problem with some things not rendering and relogged, and ALM didn't turn on. Still, it's a lovely set. These photos are all raw, unprocessed shots from SL. Enjoy.
so after school today max cari and i went on a photo shoot at the ruins. they are THE MOST adorable couple i have ever seen. they were just so naturally cute that all i had to do was give a little direction and let them flow. they have so much chemistry and love it just radiates warm fuzzies :) i loved this shoot, for sure one of my favorite shoots to date!
Love is very patient,
very kind.
Love knows no jealousy;
love makes no parade,
give itself no airs,
is never rude,
never selfish,
never irritated,
never resentful;
love is never glad when others go wrong,
love is gladdened by goodness,
always slow to expose,
always eager to believe the best,
always hopeful,
always patient.
Love never disappears.
