Hello lovelies,
Everyone on the officials is kinda MIA through either 'My Page Protests' or playing ingame and spamming walls which I fondly refer to as 'The Badge Hunters'.
Oh ho ho ho you know who you are *looks at pink cheeks*
...but thats ok because - if you cant beat 'em Join 'em!
Although I have yet to earn a badge and the ingame messaging is quite novel although ole' SF (no not the mag...) is taking the proverbial piss with the randomness.
Anyway, those who are still around on the officials are getting a head start on the St. Patricks Day celebrations. Of course I had to join in.. I'm half Irish and I have some seriously fond memories of celebrations with my family.
One of my favourite (and well known) characters is a lady called Molly Malone & my Nanna used to sing me 'Cockles & Mussles'. Wait hold on.. she still does after a wee tipple! hehe
So reflecting on this..I decided to create a Molly Malone to share with all of you folks who celebrate the occassion in one way or another.
The very bottom pic has been edited for effect!
She is completely CC Free
I Used Ephemera Skin NV1
She uses quite a few items from the store
Everyday Hair is part of the More Magic Set
(but Lemonleaf does a great hat you can use here)
Formal Wear Hair is from Master Suite SP
Anyway if you download her, I hope you have fun turning her into a Celtic Lolita! :D
I'm going to leave you with the lyrics to her sad song..
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
She was a fish-monger, but sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they each wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
She died of a fever, and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O! Yote <3

She is Beautiful!
And from what my family has told me over the years I do have a bit of a Irish background! :D
I love the pictures you took of her they are Fab! <3
She looks great, Yote. Love the freckles and the little hat :D
Wow you did a smashing job on Molly :D I love her eyes, her hair and the hat is so cool ^__^ Excellent job on the presentation as well :]
/The blushing badge hunter (aka pink cheeks) :O
@ Amanda - LOL YES! That holiday!! :D
Ahh it's good to have a bit of Irish in the blood, I like to think it's the perfect excuse for a jig lol
Thank you for your lovely comment. The pics turned out quite well considering they're not edited apart from the last pic. My graphics seem to look a little better since the patch or maybe that's just me.. lol
@ Caspin - hello my friend! Thanks you so much :D I had to give her freckles, I'm almost certain she was a bit cheeky underneath the hat and hair hehe
@ Manssom - thank you my little badge hunter! :D
I know her eyes arent very realistic looking but I wanted to make them a little bigger than usual to bring out the vulnerability in her character. I'm glad you like <3
She is adorable! I just love her big beautiful eyes <3
Molly has such pretty eyes ♥
Lol now I'm picturing her with a wheel barrow full of fish.
Beautiful simmy Yote *plonks Molly ingame*
Thank you ^.^
XO! hello lovely, thanks so much <3
ahh sweet little Mene *glomp*, thank you too <3
lol yes, I should imagine she had a rather nauseating whiff of fish about her nevertheless she's a sweetheart!hehe I hope you enjoy her xx
I've already rec'd and faved her, but I thought I'd sprinkle some love here as well: ♥♥♥
Aww Wibs you're a peach! <3 Ty lovely :)
I love this at family gathering my uncle breaks out papers with the lyrics to Cockles & Mussles and insist we all sing. the other people in the restaurant never enjoy the song as much as we do.....
Hello Misty!
Sorry for the really late response, I've only just returned from Poland!
I'm so glad you like her and are familiar with the song. I was worried everyone might think I'm a little crazy lol It's a brilliant tune, I'm even teaching it to my 4 year old hehe
How lovely! I've had a soft spot for Molly ever since I read Piers Anthoney's 'On a Pale Horse' where her ghost is such a sweetie.
Thank you so much!!
I havent read On A Pale Horse so I just googled it and thanks! It's now on my must read list :)
