Sadists like flowers too (aka "dont hate me cuz I'm beautiful")

Thanks to the always beautiful and fashionable Lori Novo for thinking I'm interesting enough to be listed in her writings.

In the (often misquoted) words of the immortal Sally Field:  "You like me, you really really like me!"

And thanks for adding the dainty red flowers...it does add that...hmmm..."feminine touch" to someone who otherwise looks like a Matrix reject sporting a lethal assortment of BDSM accoutrements. 

Kinda like Dustin Hoffman's Tootsie meets the sadomasochistic Cenobites from Hellraiser.

The Melancholy Angel of Tempura

The Melancholy Angel of Tempura (Lori Novo)

A couple days back I logged into SL and decided to visit one of my old hangouts. I was feeling somewhat maudlin, and by accident chanced upon a scene straight out of some painting.

There she sat, an angel clad in a diaphanous gown, her ethereal wings flapping languidly in the slight breeze. and framed by the dainty pink flowers of the surrounding trees. The whole panorama literally made me catch my breath, and I had to take a pic of the beautiful Lori Novo after asking her permission.

The whole scene spoke of melancholy, of some sadness that was made even more stark by the beauty that emanated from it. And I must be more empathetic lately, because the next day Lori confirmed that she was in fact sad that night.

It's heartening to know that one can still be affected by the beauty of SL, even after more than a year of wallowing in its filth.
