Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. Oscar Wilde

Of course, I would have a song for this 🙂 David Allan Cole: Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile

I was making the rounds of the weekend sales, stopping in at Ricielli to pick up a DEMO, when I received a private message from Max. He had snapped some photos of me, and I thought they were done well. I asked if I could post them on my social media, and he agreed. If anyone is interested in having some photos done, please contact ‘maxbalestras’. Thank you again Max.

And a twofer. Nat King Cole: Mona Lisa

There is beauty in this moment. There is wonder in this day. There is truth in life eternal. And a light to guide the way. There is goodness all around us. There is joy in each sweet soul. There is love in every fragment. And each fragment makes a whole.

I have long wanted to blog about this coat. It’s vintage Plastix, and the lines are just gorgeous. The fit is for Lara5.3, but I managed to squeeze LaraX into it with little difficulty. Smiles. The hat is vintage as well by SF and is no longer available. I will never put it out to pasture. I love the flex fur. It’s like the wind softly blowing through it. Mesh can’t do that…yet. I am also wearing my favorite shoe creator, GOS. The Slouch boots are classic. The gloves are by MEVA, and no longer available. The outfit is completed with jewelry by RAMA, Tetra, and AvaWay.

We are heading into the New Year, and this is my final post for 2024. What a year it has been. Complete with unbelievable pain, heartache, pure bliss, and peace of mind. I’m turning the page. Be kind to one another. Find joy in all things. Till we meet again♥

All the lovely details:
