Lofty Dreams and Hobby Horses

5000 L’s Has been bid on me for the Love Donna Flora event. A few months ago Mila Tatham of *SoliDea FoliEs* and I were chatting and dreaming about fashion. She is notoriously creative and such an amazing designer, I am so blessed she lets me hang around with her as she creates because her work is simply magic. We were talking about styles we like, and we somehow got to talking about how someone, well, that would be me, loves to where knickers as my main exterior clothing. I am an avid dreamer and often skim through the current fashions looking for ideas to style and to bookmark them I throw them up on my pinterest page. At some point during this conversation, I showed Mila my dream outfit. It’s an adorable knickered outfit created by Ulyana Sergeenko available in the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013 line. ( http://pinterest.com/pin/46443439880251663/ ) Mila exclaimed she would make it for me, but knowing how difficult it often is to translate the real world to the sculpts and meshes of Second Life, I figured it probably couldn’t be done. I should have known not to underestimate the determination of a stubborn, creatively talented Mila. She not only created it, she did it perfectly!

I can’t imagine what I did in life to ever deserve the kindness of such an amazing person, I just know I love Mila so dearly. She is one of the true reasons virtual worlds hold so much potential for greatness. Second Life not only serves as a social platform to all nationalities, it fosters growth and creativity among it’s citizens. But whatever becomes of that world, I am forever grateful it allowed me to meet my crazy fun friends in Italy and all of the other wonderful countries where you all reside! You guys are my rock!

Take from? Of course! I’d imagine the concept of creating a virtual world at one time was considered a rather lofty dream and hobby horses are those costumes that have a horse built into the jacket, making it look like the person is riding a horse. Their similarity is at some moment in time, both were just somebody’s dream that have now come to fruition. Life is often hard, sometimes frustrating, but then aren’t the best things in life the things we have worked so hard to achieve? Sure, anyone can dream, but why just dream? Why not make your dreams come true? Who knows? You just might be the next Steve Jobs or Alexander McQueen. Just something to think about. Thank you Mila for dressing up a Lil Cao and making her Second Life a dream come to fruition.
