Women
I’m contemplating making it mine. I mean, it’s so, so extravagant, I keep thinking of what else I could spend that money on... but oh, it’s so beautiful! I fucking work hard being a lady boss, I deserve nice things! *Hand hovers shakily over add to cart* xD
♠ Extravagance ♠
closed; @katerinavasile & hades Location: Velvet Lounge (Central Aiónios)
Stepping out of his matte black Ferrari 458, Hades watched the doors open like a spider spreading its legs. His Armani suit was perfectly pressed, his hair impeccably mussed, and his date outrageously hot. She was five foot eight, all legs, with eyes so green they looked like feral cut diamonds sparkling in the night-- and hair so long and straight it reached the perfect curvature of her back. She was divine, part demigod too, and one of his many slew of trophies he toted wherever he went. Tonight it was the Velvet Lounge, and one of the only places in Central Aiónios he regularly frequented... if only for the luxury table service and even higher quality women.
Handing his keys off to the valet, he entered through the back door so as to escape the prying eyes of the mortals. They could just be so damn curious sometimes, and for a man who put so much effort into remaining inconspicuous, people couldn’t help but stare whenever he entered a room. He supposed the tattoos the covered every inch of his body onto his neck didn’t help, but he didn’t have enough time in his day to entertain imbecilic and nosy mortals. Leading Cora over to his private table section, he leaned in to the cocktail waitress. “The usual.” His usual was Macallan’s luxury M whiskey, monosyllabic just like his name. Leaning in close to the girl, his lips brushed her ear. “Aged in a variety of casks that are up to 75 years old, and delivered in a bottle that took 17 craftsmen over 50 hours to complete, this whiskey is worth more than your life, sweetheart, but drink up. On me.”
However, as he drank... he couldn’t help his gaze from fluttering to the dancer on the stage. Eyes locking with hers, he nodded his head-- like an invitation to a bed they had climbed into thousands of times before.

James’s Blog: More Daily Bread Thinking…
Sometimes an idea just won’t let me go, and so it has been with my thoughts about dependence on God and just asking for what we need each day.
It occurred to me that the future is often a source of anxiety and frustration for me. It doesn’t have to be, but it is. Jesus understood the way that our minds work, which is why he said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow, because you’ve got enough to worry…

"D'une éloquence sans fard et d'une extravagance qui aguiche." - Géraldine Martens
ZOMNIA
The moment she set foot onto the land, the atmosphere shifted. Flowers bloomed as she passed by and she was met by a guard patrolling his sector for the kingdom. Zomnia lifted her hooded eyes to meet his gaze and he was stopped in his tracks by the look in her eyes. He was trapped in her spell. Zomnia instructed him to take her to his king and he did dutifully, completely enamored by her unmatchable beauty. As the wind blew while they walked, her hair fell behind her, increasing in length, tempting all those they passed and those tempted began to follow. The door to the palace opened before her as the king himself came to greet her.
Their hands met and the king too had fallen prisoner to her beauty, victim to her charm. Within moments the kingdom opened up before her, a room made up for her, the throne passed to her, dressmakers begged for her attention and suitors flocked to her. Zomnia had conquered yet another kingdom without batting an eyelash.
Painters tried to capture her beauty and were sentenced to death when they failed to, for her essence could not be depicted by mortal paints. Zomnia herself was a manifestation of the gods, and she is just as dangerous as she is beautiful.
Within the week, the kingdom in the east heard rumors of Zomnia and requested that they be permitted to witness her extravagance. Zomnia bequeathed, and the royal court appeared by sundown the following day.
Outraged that he could never have Zomnia, the eastern King declared war on the western kingdom, slaughtering everyone that attempted to separate him and the woman whom he desired the most. The war waged for days, and Zomnia didn’t stir; she sat upon her golden throne and watched the people fight for her, a look of amusement playing at the corners of her full rosey lips. There were two standing at the end, the king of each land, and Zomnia finally rose.
To the death, she instructed, throwing each of them swords. She sat back down and watched the two kings kill each other and then smiled. Zomnia walked swiftly and purposefully from the kingdom into the sunset, setting her sights on the kingdom in the north as her next conquest.
Natasha Morgan has so eloquently decided to name the newest eyewear in The Royals collection after Zomnia. The dark lenses shroud the wearer in the same aura of mystery Zomnia came from. The intense central representation of diamonds capture the beauty, and the two formations on either side show how no matter what, there are always to people on either side of her begging for her attention. These glasses are a manifestation of Zomnia herself, blessing the wearer with the unmatched exquisiteness Zomnia possesses.
