Kalli was kind enough to give me this new coat she designed as a prerelease \o/.  I was so excited that I just had to style it right away. I’m a bit sleepy and at a loss for words. This is a picture based fashion blog anyway, so good night :P

#151 – Loved and lost

Love the song Take Care by Drake. :) Puts me in one of those moods.  Also AVENUE’s magazine has been published this month, so please see some of the great features. One of my best online friends Vikeejeah is featured. Yay!! I’m so proud of her, and her store, and her accomplishments :)!   So read up if you are interested!  Though I love the formatting of this blog, I think the size of the pictures is limiting, so I am going to make a change in the near future. For now, I sleep. ZzZzz

#151 – Appreciation for the things you have

Some of you may not know, but in RL I am a doctor and I care for patients who have HIV/AIDs. It’s a very rewarding job, but sometimes it’s also heart breaking for me. Today I had a patient who confessed he was living out of his office and sleeping in a sleeping bag. He was sending the majority of his social security check to his mother to care for her, and therefore couldn’t afford food on a daily basis. He also couldn’t afford his medications and that was why his viral load had gone sky high and his CD4 count had depleted to 3 cells/ml.

:( !!!!

Yet he could sit in my office today with a smile on his face and light shining from his eyes, and he said to me.. “At least I am alive. I’m here to live another day, and you have made me happy.”

And how could I not cry? Cry because he said something so kind to me, or cry for how ashamed I am about some of the things I have made “important” in my life. And then feel sorry for the small, petty indecencies that are committed toward one another online and offline. In the grand scheme of things, can you wake up and smile and say.. “At least I’m alive?”

If not, then I suggest you take some time. I will be.

Thanks for listening,
Absinthe (sinontherocks)

OGlam Casting!

One of the first model agency’s that ever really gave me a chance was Outrageous Glamor. At the time I don’t know what Vixie and Matt saw in me, but they gave me a chance and provided many opportunities for me to do print and runway through them. So if people wonder why I am particularly loyal, defensive, and optimistic about OGlam, this is why. Not only that, I think the staff is so kind and they really do look out for the best interest of their models. So this is an agency that I will never leave, but will have to get pushed out with my nails dragging on the floor. <33 Linda is so wonderful to all the models and let’s us know we’re appreciated. Josiah is so creative and outgoing, and he has such a great eye for ads, and fashion, and concepts.

So yes. I am thankful and proud to be an OGlam Model. :) I’m not in many agencies in SL and I don’t believe in collecting them to make myself feel good.  Modeling should be about quality, not quantity and I think there’s plenty of quality at OGlam!   <333 you guys.
