Of God and Man

According to Edith Hamilton, "...It was quite otherwise with Dionysus [Bacchus]. What was done at his great festival was open to all the world and is a living influence today. No other influence in Greece could compare with it. It took place in the spring when the vine begins to forth its branches, and it lasted for five days. They were the days of perfect peace and enjoyment. All the ordinary business of life stopped. No one could be put in prison; prisoners were even released so that they could share in the general rejoicing. But the place where people gathered to honor the god was not the wild wilderness made horrible by savage deeds and a bloody feast [as in the case of Pentheus]; It was not even a precinct with ordered sacrifices and priestly ceremonies. It was a theater, and the ceremony was the performance of a play. The greatest poetry in Greece, and among the greatest in the world was written for Dionysus. The poets who wrote the plays, the actors and singers who took part in the play were regarded as servants of the god. The performances were sacred; the spectators too and the performers, were engaged in an act of worship. Dionysus himself was supposed to be present; his priest had the seat of honor."

So... I just realized that I posted this earlier half-baked. Apologies about that.
Went with Tabby on the last day of the Fairy Tales event and got myself a few stuff. I went to the Men's Department afterwards and got more items from there.
So here's a thought. If your life was a fairytale, which character would you be? 
In my case, I would have to say Flynn Rider. 
Because let's face it. He's almost as awesome as I am. 
*gives you the smolder*
 Seriously, though. He's no charming prince or heroic knight. Just a regular guy who gets pawned by his girl all the time.

Skin and Cats

Belleza has given out a Christmas present for its members. I'm not sure if it's also put up in the main store, but I got mine from the notices section of the group. Group fee is 250L to join, but it's worth it since you'd also get 2 of the past group gift skins (Jacob and Ashton) at their store.

  Skin - Belleza Jacob SK tone (free for group members; 250L to join group)

Boxers - Vitamen December freebie (available in 5 colors)

If you're interested to get yourself a pet this holiday, I recommend KittyCat's Starry Starry Night cat, a free gift from the store's advent calendar (Day 24) You'd also get other gifts from other days of the calendar, as well . I don't know how long they will have that calendar out, but the cat is part of  their Winter Collection 2011. Hurry and run to their store before the calendar board is gone.

A caution to you though. Don't dare look at their eyes! They'll lure you in with those big, googly orbs, and the next thing you know, you have 15 in your hands. Or 16 if you count the blue Starry Starry Night Cat that Tabby didn't rezz out yet.

At least, that's what happened to Tabby and I. 

But Anyway, Happy Holidays to you! I wish you all a meaningful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
