how cool, , I didn't realize so many of us had Italian ancestrey. :D (heh. or ARE Italian, stares ) :D

, hahahaaaa, OH GOOD, I LOVE when ever one is Right :D

I saw it on , and we were wondering where it had come from.

HEY GIRL!! :D said middle of march, but she didn't give a particular date. it's good to have something to aim for

grin. i better not get to excited. or i'll start dressing to early. heh.

OMG , you look ADORABLE!! :D

If you use the held item Esteemed ladys mask you will be able to dance and see your face. That's what I use. [Item=esteemed ladys mask]

hey Beautiful! , Thank goodness I DO have that mask :D I also have the 'male' one. I do use those alot during the masq, just for that reason. heh. I notice a lot of us do.

OH! and what's the one from BlackHeart Hollow? oh. the knife and mask. that works to. i love that one :D but then i get to many things "held" heh.

(even though i have also noticed, that more and more peeps are puting the items "behind" the body)

I'm like a bad penny that way. xD

YES that's the one I'm thinking of, and I'm so glad there's at least a visual record left on StyleFile so I can hopefully backtrack how I made it!

Best thing, though, you don't have to wear a mask! Carry one (I am holding a mask right now but it's under the body layer and under the BG layer), or wear something like under other layers because that works as well as a mask because it has "mask" in it. At least, it did, and I don't think they changed that.

I dunno about the drawers. I gave up on those early, it was easier without them. Of course the answer is always....SOON.

I think it starts around mid-March. Ish.

I'm not a fan of Garfield, usually, but your siggy made me laugh. OMG that's me in a nutshell. xD

I don't know why in Italy it's in the last Sunday of May. If I can remember well, though, we share the day with other European countries. Awww, Verona! The town of Romeo and Juliet! It's a lovely town indeed. I'm sorry that you don't have contacts anymore with your relatives though. :C

I've just eaten pasta for dinner, just saying. Haha! :D

Thank you for the tip about Masquerade! I bought the necklace!

:),

i went there once with my nan and bampy, we went to italy for a family wedding when i was 9 ( one day would like to go back, but i speak no italian )

Speaking in English is fine (maybe just speak slowly because there's a lot of people who arent fluently, or can't speak English, unfortunately)! And I hope you enjoyed your trip, even though you were so young! C:

[edit] Geez, sorry for all the typos! I wrote too fast I guess. xD

aww thanks for the complement. I bought the hair out of a trade and loved it to pieces. its a cw and a lovely one at that. It took me awhile to find a matching outfit to go with. thanks ... I do love garfield sometimes. IT all depends. my favorite is mothergoose and grimm. THeir comics are the best. I should totally post a siggy of that at some point.

Sorry i havent been as active as usual. I missed the first day wig thing (ashamed). My dad just passed away an hour or so ago. I think im gonna go to the store and get two pints of ice cream...then take a long bubble bath..

Does anyone have that one background with the stairway to Heaven or the one with just the gates? I would like to borrow it for awhile.

- oh hon I am so sorry - my heart breaks for you - I may have the BG you are looking for... I'll check as soon as I can - not sure I can get Into the wardrobe from my phone

Thanks! Are there any wigs, clothes, or bgs you might want to borrow while i borrow your bg?

Ohhh, your Ha is so cute! How did you do that?

Im sorry for your loss. I know the feeling. I lost my dad this past July 7th. It gets easier but still hurts. I don't have either of those backgrounds or I would lend them to you.

whispers I was here for the first day wig thing... I cant even tell you what color it was suppose to be. So you are probably a step ahead then I was :)

I think MAYBE Masq starts on the 18thish? Its the middle of the month if memory serves me. Which it usually doesn't. But pretty sure it is midmonth.

thanks for offering but for now I am fine - if I ever need anything for an outfit I promise to as you first

Ty on the HA - I did it originally to hide my zombie skin as it developed - I just put the ha behind everything in the new wardrobe then layered a bung of BG and foreground items <3

I am so sorry to hear about your dad sweetie.

I'm so sorry to hear about that, it's been years and I still haven't gotten over my mother's passing I know it doesn't seem like it, but the only thing that really makes it feel better is time. I hope you stay strong, and have people around you to support you. );

OOPS I just saw your ping! lol you're too sweet <3 I'm not great at masq HAs though I looked through Subetalodge for items with the work "mask" in them, the only half ones I could find didn't match the pink in your HA q.q

I have seriously been thinking about you for the past week and have been wanting to ping you but not wanting to bother you. tight hugs I am so sorry for the loss of your father. :( I really hope that you are able to find some peace, how are you?

Thanks guys. I think ill hang in there. I know he isnt suffering anymore and he is probably taking care of horses in Heaven. I had some strange dreams last couple weeks where my dad was up walking around and I was amazed at what he was doing. One dream he seemed to not know about him having dementia. I think those dreams were God's way of telling me to stop worrying, He's got this. :)

Yea I had those types of dreams leading up to the end (Cancer had spread thru his body). A few weeks later I had a dream of him. He was down the hall of my childhood home talking and I was sitting in my bedroom door just watching him. Someone was like "Why don't you go down there and say Hi." I just looked at them and went "I know he is gone and if I do he will disappear. I just want to look at him awhile longer." I still cry about once a day. BUT they aren't always sad tears...just memory tears of just missing him. But I agree with you...no more pain. I think my dad is up there with his favorite singer (Frank Sinatra) partying.

Gosh I'm sorry to hear about your Dad passing. :( My Mom passed over a year ago and it's still tough, but everyone is right with time things become a bit more bearable. The only dream that I remember I had of her is when I walked into her kitchen at her house and it was dark and her back was turned. I went up to her and we hugged each other and she told me something. I wish I could remember what it was, but I don't. Whatever she said upset me, but then I accepted and understood whatever it was. hugs you

hugs I hope these posts gives you comfort as you grieve the loss of your father. Such sad news. Now you have an angel watching over you.
