"When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me"
- From "Sway" as sung by Rosemary Clooney

My Katie whispered on late into the night and sashayed her way into my little burlesque club, "The Red Rum Revue" for a quiet visit with our family who had gathered there.
Soon though, it was just her and I upon my stage's historic "Round", dressed only as we were but dancing closely together, arms wrapped tightly around each other as the music started to play from the jukebox by the bar.
We exchanged sweet nothings, soft thoughts and gentle reassurances to each other as we stayed close together, just slowly swaying, softly kissing and just... being together,,,
Our time with each other may be limited by circumstances beyond our control Ms Parx, but our time together when it happens is magical and I feel "at home" so much with you.
Sway with me Katie...
Stay with me Katie...
Let's always let the music start to play to dance our worries away.
Quien sera el que me quiere a mi
Quien sera, quien sera
Quien sera el que me de su amor
Quien sera, quien sera
- Your Katie XOXO
The Katies got together again at last after a burlesque show at The Red Rum Revue. I had DJ'd a festival earlier in the day before dancing at my burlesque club. I was so happy, but oh so drained.
Ms Katie Parx was there for me to perform for her, and after the show by my side to chit chat with patrons and staff before we whisked away to my patio for some much needed quiet time together.
Lawd I love and adore her...
That pretty blonde Neko cuddled and cared for this tired ginger haired Fae in the best way - her way. :-)
We don;t get to see each other much, but when we do, the time we are apart disappears.
I love you very much Ms Parx :-)

My Katie and my Chance are back in time for us to snuzzle and wuzzle our way together into 2025 :-)
Happy New Year everyone and THANK YOU for taking an interest into this little Fae Canuck's life in our amazing little digital world!
Let's go into 2025 and make it a loving adventure together!
Je t'aime! XOXO

My Katie came back for a wonderfully quiet and low key night with Chance and I.
I love the Parx family so very, very much.
I love the Hazelnut family so very much
I love the Starflare family so very much
I love the BBK family very much.
I love my Cobalt family so very much
I love my Red Rum family so very much.
I love Ms Katie Parx so very, very, very much.
I love being able to love Katie as she loves to love me.
Things in this electronic world are quiet again...blessedly so. Love fills my time between the families I am around and the work I get to do.
It's been a long three years of loud and hurtful chaos. Now...now...there is just love, creativity and peace.
I get to have my special pixel world back and it is thanks to mature, caring and honest special people.
I love you all very much!
- Katie xoxo
"She says I smell like safety and home
I named both of her eyes forever and please-don't-go
I could be a morning sunrise all the time, all the time, yeah
This could be good, this could be good
I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm"
From "She Keeps Me Warm" by Mary Lambert

Our Katie came back. She has had real life hit her like a tsunami and she can feel like she is drowning in it, but she swam back and we all threw ourselves into the water after her - all of her loves to lift our girl out of the turbulent waters and to the safety of our embrace, pulling to safe shores - to home.
I got to hold my pretty neko babygirl as she spoke of what had transpired. I squeezed tight as she rested on my soft shoulder and told me of the dark storms she has had to navigate...
She sailed through darkness with little light as the sights and sounds of fury as she was forced to navigate through hurt, through grief and through real pain, they hurt her...
I wish I could take all of her pain away so much...I wouldn't hesitate a second. No one in her family would.
All of her in world family...the one that now accepts me in as me and loves to love and be loved - just like Our Katie - came home or tuned in to tell her how they loved her, how they missed her, how glad they were she was with us...
Friends of the family came too as her influence with love is so very wide.
We all reassured her that she should never fear losing us for we know she can't change the weather she passed through, even if we all wanted it too.
We always want to sail with her. We wanted her to know we are safe harbour for her.
She meant to stay but briefly, but briefly turned to hours as we all cuddled close to her, sharing our love, expressing our joy and making sure she knows we are all there for her.
Now, in the quiet of the night, the pretty Neko and the Fae cuddle and embrace so that Katie keeps Katie warm.
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm...
I love you so very much Katie..so much...I want to always keep you warm...
- Katherine xoxo
"When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"
"When You Wish Upon a Star" by Cliff Edwards

Life lately in my electronic world has been...wonderfully quiet...soooo quiet...serene even....
No drama queens, no dumpster fires wandering in to my life. No Narcissists, insecure gaslighters and women who can never let go. No, instead it's been people who act their age and most importantly:
People who love freely...
Many of them...
My dear Katie Parx is still away often and poor Cynthia can't be on for awhile due to RL, but I still get to speak to them through Discord and they love me simply and freely as I do them.
The Parx Family has been kind to me and although I am not one of them, they all accept me in and care for me as their partner/mother/grandmother Katie Parx is: loving people. Simply so as well. I know why she loves them so much.
My sister Toni and my Twin Felina have their own clan - the Starflares. They intertwine with the Parx family not only through me, but other ways as well. It's been good to just go flop on their couch in a cuddle and pile, be goofy, watch TV and just...be...
I have friends here who take care of their RL struggles outside in RL so they don't bring them here. I always have a shoulder for them and they for I as they are all mature, love SL and their friends and family in it openly, honestly, simply and most importantly - maturely
For three years I have been inundated with walking dumpster fires, narcissists, liars, deniers, schemers and some of the most insecure gas lighting people you never want to meet.
They are all gone now. The bad girls. GONE gone. Now? Now I wish and hope it is back to how I loved SL before: simply.
I get to be me again, DJ wildly, take photos everywhere, flirt like mad, explore SL with fun friends and run my little burlie club.
I get to sail my boat.
I get to sleep peacefully with Hobbes.
I get to love freely...simply...
I wish it would last....dear Goddess please let it last...I want this world to be my freedom once again and not a place of fear and hurt...it is too beautiful for that.
So here I am, with Hobbes as he is a very Brave and Handsome Tiger, on top of little pink and white tear drop camper, parked on the Parx estate and just...gazing at the stars above me in SL and wishing...
Wishing upon those stars...
I hope my dreams come true. All around me do too.
Love you all...

This is another of the 124 pictures of 148 I had up that Flickr's servers ate for reasons unknown. A team of 6 spent three days there finding them all for me. The jouranl with each it gone - the song, the story...but the image remains and I can speak of it still as I put it back into where it belongs - in my own memories proper.
In this memory, I was dating Bevvie at the time. She was an up and coming DJ while I was plying my trade and still lower rung, but I knew who she should talk to and talk to she did. She got into better clubs. She was also picked up and taught by a talented girl and practiced, practiced, practiced!
Bev and I LOVED cuddling each night and listening to her sets when we could that she had uploaded to the web for all to enjoy. I would try to find unique and romantic places to listen to them again with her - like my hot tub with a built in web TV ;-)
I could pick out as she did her changes with her mixing and she loved that. She is probably the best scratcher in Second Life now hands down. You wanna work a bassline? She will MAKE the bassline and then rework it into magic... live...
We did part ways, but we are still friends and she is simply one amazing DJ. I am happy for her success. She deserves it.
She was a nice girl. She still is. I miss those intimate listening sessions though, but here is one as a wonderful memory :-)
If you hear Bevvie is playing a venue in SL? Go see her live. You wont be disappointed!
With love and Admiration,
DJ k8e

My burlesque club - The Red Rum Revue - had a successful and fun show Saturday night with an amazing turn out of faces new and those faces I love dearly and hadn't been able to see in some time...there was a very special familiar face in particular in the crowd...
Katie Parx, my beautiful Neko girlfriend, was back :-)
Katie, like me, has RL things which prevent her from being online when she wishes at times. Tonight though, she was able to clear the decks to watch Amy, Felina and myself perform. Amy just happens to be Pretty Katie's daughter. :-)
We pulled out all the stops...all three of us...and had a great time. So did Ms Parx!
After the show, when everyone had gone, my dear Katie was tired right out, but spent a precious amount of time just holding me to her...her fingers playing in my blonde locks, sitting cheek to cheek, kissing softly sometimes and sighing happily as we spoke occasionally in caring tones.
I missed my girl...It had been so long and was so wonderful to have her in my arms again and for me to be in hers. I had tears of happiness flowing in Real Life as well as a beaming smile to go with it.
Her and I have irregular schedules that we often can't dictate, but sometimes the stars will align and we are in each others arms again. We play it by ear.
We simply love each other and love being together when we can. No complications, just caring for each other when opportunity presents.
We love being loved and to be able to love.
We made tentative plans as we kissed, coddled and cuddled each other, plans we can do at an opportune chance to meet when the stars align again.
I love my beautiful, blonde haired Neko who simply loves me in the same way that I love and adore her.
Life is too short for complications of the heart and relationship. Luckily we share one big heart and are of relaxed means and moments with our relationship
Be of peace Ms Parx and know you are so very, very loved.
Je t'aime mon belle fille.
Je t'aime...
- Your Katherine, always...
xoxo
Chance and I "chanced" upon each other last night. We are growing closer as friends. We both happened to be readying for bed, She agreed to sleep over with Hobbes and I as Hobbes is a very Brave and Handsome Tiger.
We miss our Katie so very much, but know that she can't control when she can be on. In the meantime, Chance and I take care of each other.
Last night she needed to be held tight and reassured. I was happy to oblige.
I love this pretty girl. She has rapidly become a nice friend.
We will be ok. PK will be back sooner then later. In the meantime, Chance and I watch out for each other. We check in every day and do our best to cover what Ms Katie Parx was able to give both of us. - unconditional love and caring.
Sleep well pretty girl...We are in good hands until PK gets back - each others.
With Love,
- Katherine
XOXO
"Can I have this dance? Shall we take a chance?
Oh, to long and pine, oh, to search and find
It's a do-si-do, it's a toe to toe
Plant a money tree, grow a love so free
And if I should fall so deep and true
And if I should fall so deep
May it be with you
Golden vest judge
But we don't think much
'Bout what went or came
Only what remains
And if I should fall so deep and true
And if I should fall so deep
May it be with you
Periwinkle rose, and each day we chose
Haven't known you long, kept it sweet and strong
Write a poem or song, but you can't hold on
To what's come or gone, only what's begun
And if I should fall so deep and true
And if I should fall so deep
May it be with you
May it be with you
May it be with you"

Katie loves to just love and to be loved. She keeps it simple as does this Katie.
We don't need more then that.
"But we don't think much
'Bout what went or came
Only What Remains"
I simply love you for who you are Ms Parx...thank you for loving me the same...

"My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for High-tone Places
Liz Taylor is not her style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' she can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And she don't even care for clothes
She cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
Baby don't care for
She don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not her style
And even Liberace's smile
Is somethin' she can't see
Is somethin' she can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me"
- Paraphrased from "My Baby Just Cares For Me" by Nina Simone
Thank you Ms Parx for just caring...for me. I love you very, very much. I look forward to more time together with you.
- With Tremendous Caring,
Katherine...xoxo
We had a BRILLIANT show at the Red Rum tonight with a nice crowd, good acts and I got to see Cynthia again...after the crowds left, we were both tired, but still stood on my stage and slow danced for awhile...
Talked...kissed..loved
We don't get to see each other as much as we want, but when we do, it's always wonderfully peaceful and perfectly romantic.
She makes me feel like the centre of everything and tries hard when we can't meet to be there to talk in other ways.
Her yellow gown tonight was the talk of the club...I just buried myself in it and sighed happily as we danced and talked.
I love you very much Cynthia. thank you for just..."being"...
With So Much Pent Up Love,
- Ms Katie "lil fae" McAuley
The Calas sims continue to produce amazing experiences for myself and my GF's!
Tonight Cynthia and I took a hiking date around them and found the cutest cabin by the water...with free wine ;-)
We don't get to go out often, but when we do, it's very special for both of us. She is beautiful, charming, kind, funny, intelligent and I love her so very, very much. She is a friend, girlfriend and lover...
I love it...love her...
I am lucky I have two understanding women in my life who just like seeing love for love's sake. I am so happy in SL now :-)
See you soon Ms Cynthia and let's sip again please. :-)
Cynthia and I haven't been able to get out in WEEKS - all my fault. So I went full intention to make amends!
She hadn't been to Calas Galadhon Park before. Our BESt gowns were the order of the day and we had one of the pavilions to ourselves in the gorgeous sims
We met, we danced, we talked...we loved. I love how our friendship has blossomed into something more. I love spending time with her so very much.
I need to get healthier so I can love on her more often in world ;-)
Love you Cynthia!
- Katie xoxo
Cynthia? When we started dating, you showed me such compassion and caring. You helped me break the memories of the bitch who I thought had broken me forever.
You made me feel wanted.
I love being around you, being in your arms, being in the funnest places, being on your boat...but most importantly: Being a Girlfriend with you.
When things went so dark again, you took such loving time to stay in touch and always kept me feeling desired and cared for.
I love every time we go out or every time we stay in.
I am glad I get to go OUT with you and am not stuck to a phone being a damn trucker's wife for that is no life.
You give me hope, support and love. You fulfill my desires while taking care to make sure I am fulfilling yours.
You are truly Cynfully Delightful. I am so happy to be in your world and allowed to share it with you.
Plus you are tall with a rack that I always want to climb and attack ;-)
Ms Katherine Marie McAuley
We need to anchor that Bandit soon and see what's belowdecks ;-)
Cynthia is a friend...a very caring, kind and giving friend and one who isn't afraid to "roll in the hay" with me ;-)
A friend with "benefits" :-)
She plays some of the best Rock and Roll in SL and sure knows how to treat a girl right. I love the time we get together and love how I feel when I am with her.
We are just that - friends. But we are friends who enjoy a nice night out together. I haven't been taken out this often since...it's been a long long time and prior to my last marriage.
A Madame could get used to this sort of thing ;-)
2023 was a rough year health wise and sadly, in the latter part, romantically, but I am better healthwise though and also a lot better off without Becca.
I have been getting out a lot more in both worlds because my health is improving fast and just being more "me".
I'm also not stuck to the phone 5 nights a week listening to Becca road rage a big rig down the interstate. Sleep is underrated.
It feels good to be by myself again.
Tonight I sit and watch as Felina DJ's my eclectic little Beach Club and puff on my little pipe as I think about how lucky I am to have so many loving friends in both worlds - something my ex can't say the same of.
I will be ok. Life goes on and it goes on rather well. It's a shame she didn't want to stick around for the ride, but I am still not travelling alone as I know I am still loved by many who travel with me.
You know...life is hard...but you must never stop fighting for yourself and what's right.
Always cast out into the universe good, but never expect it back and it will come. Cast out bad? Karma will find you with it to return it.
Be of peace all. I love ALL of you!
- Katherine Marie McAuley
I have a couple lovely little sailboats in Second Life that I adore. I love sailing in world. I used to do it in real life and miss it.
I have had a Loonetta 35 since shortly after mesh was invented and it has been a LOYAL vessel for 7 years.
I'd system crash. The boat would drop anchor and wait for me until I came back. I painted her in my favourite colour - purple, named her the "Sinkaboutit" and took her all over the seas of SL for years.
Last year she began to script error now and then, but a quick reres fixes that. I also bought a Bandit to complement her. She looks amazing with her Spinaker out and at full sail. She seats 10 and does sim crossings with all aboard without problem.
She also sparked love...
My old friend Ember took this pic the day I took her and my ex wife (but good friend) Calara out for a cruise.
They started dating shortly after ;-)
This picture is a good memory of that and the Sinkaboutit herself.
It was lost in early summer with the other 124 Flickr dropped without knowing. I am.pleaaed to post it again, for my purple boat is a lovely little lass with a cute focsle and a tight windlass 😉😎
Be of peace Land Lubbers and Mariners alike.
- Captain Katie
