“…every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.”
There are bell towers without bells. Instead, they make use of an electronic device to simulate the sound of bells. Then there are bell towers with bells, but the ringing of the bells is automated. However, my college had real bells in it's bell tower, and real live bell-ringers -- student volunteers who were members of what I called the "Ding-A-Ling Club."

I thought of them as I assembled this outfit. The wings, harness and bra are from a set of clothes named Angel's Sorrow. Why would angels be sorrowful? Well, as it's said, "every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.” Is there currently a shortage of ding-a-lings in the world? As I look around me, I have to say, "I think not".

Oh HELLO

PINK & PURPLE
When I think about pink shorts, I think about purple hair. And when I think about purple hair, I think about pink shorts. A lot of thought has gone into this outfit, including wondering if cowboy boots should be part of it. Thankfully, the answer was "yes!"

oh HELLO: Outfits for thinking people with purple hair & love of cowboy boots...

You can always tell a country girl who grew up on a farm. Look at this beautiful lush tomato plant and those delicious looking tomatoes! Oh I'll have to make spaghetti sauce and homemade ketchup and tomato soup and the list goes on! So much work to do on the farm. But I'm not selfish, nope! These tomato plants are available at our Welcome Center at Grid Our Dawn! They're free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy having them and decorating with them as much I did making them. You can find these beauties at -- grid.our-dawn.com:8002:Welcome -- come and get 'em before the birds eat 'em all! And while you're there, mosey on into the Bifrost and come check out Crystal Farm, that's my house and farm and take a relaxing stroll around. God Bless!

Seeking Enlightenment With a Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich.
I'm at the Naked Yoga event and had the urge for a P&J. Coupled with a double espresso. Yummers. It's the closest I'll get to heaven today (which is not the same as enlightenment, but whatever).

If you come to the event, turn on the music stream and set your environment to sunset, and then look straight on at the Buddha statue for a stunning view. This clothing optional event is relaxing and serene. Join us.

I have made a throne that you can sit on, out of prims, so it won't disappear when you walk away. I think it's sort of elven. I have also made a scroll as a region teleporter for my grid. You have to edit it yourself, but You can put your different regions on the scroll, and when guests click the name they are teleported to that region instantly, as long as it is in the same grid.

Extraordinarily Ordinary
Not all of us can be superstars. This is an outfit for those of us who strive to be great at the ordinary things in life. Getting out of the house on time instead of late as usual. Unloading the dishwasher. Remembering to bring cloth bags to the grocery store. Taking the elephants out for a walk. Did I say elephants? Silly me. I meant aardvarks.

And, as is ordinarily the case, this oh HELLO outfit is full of fat-packs. Hair? Fat-pack. Jacket/Shirt combo? Fat-pack. Pants? Yup, them too. Oh ya, and the boots. What about the boots? Pay attention pumpkin. Fatpack!

Oh HELLO: Outfits For Elephants. Or was that Aardvarks? Sorry. "Outfits with Options."

Fun with Building - the main access from the harbor is now complete. I'm the tiny little speck on the stairs to the left of the lower access opening. The style of the region is less ancient history and more like my take on a Stargate vibe :-)

New Region now Open at Phantom Rose Grid: Akrotiri! This is the starting region for all of Phantom Rose Mer Nation. The beacon lands you underwater and by using the Mer Portal system, you will never need to be out of water while visiting the 7 other Mer areas on Phantom Rose. Each area has a unique gift. In all you can collect 3 sets of free Fins for mermaids and tritons, 2 coral reefs, and 3 rideables ( Shark, Swordfish and Dolphin)! The new Medieval area also has Seahorse Chariot racing. 6 colors.
