her morning elegance.

Song For This Post: Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance

I love, love, love this video and song - it's so imaginative and inspiring. I tried to find a fluffy cloudtype location to take these shots at, to capture that airy, dreamy feeling they both have, but all I could find were sex/Gor/Bloodlines/way more creepster type listings :^\ Total fail. BUT then I remembered the upper level of Tempura Island with their dreamy fields of flowers...

Song For This Post: XTC - Frost Circus

This is a very haunting instrumental from a band I've loved for the longest time (thanks to Eeka & Natas for making me dig 'em out again), and it so suits the surreal, slightly uneasy look I have going here. It was entirely inspired by the Dimbula Rose opening gift skin and this GORGEOUS hair from Rotten Toe. I love this hair! The motion, the softness around that face.. you might end up seeing in quite a few posts.

Song For This Post: "This Perfect World" - Freedy Johnston

This is a lightning fast post that is essentially about two things: 1) AM Radio's new installation "Into The Sky" and 2) more items for Haiti Relief, incl some from 50L Friday!

Firstly, let's talk about the sim, then I'll list everything I'm wearing. This sim is so completely gorgeous, with the eerie mundane magic that AM is so amazing at! I took these shots using AM's light settings, as I tend to switch to whenever I visit one of his sims.

Now for the clothing details:

all 50L Friday Haiti items:

Miel - Hai Boots

Pig - SingSing cardi in Precious

(pda) - 50L Fri poses (aside from the 2 above, those are AM's hidden treat)

Other Haiti Relief items:

Maitreya - Sasha 50L

Lark - red Cross tights (also incl a gorgy dress not shown) 150L

Non-Haiti Relief items:

[ATOMIC] skin (prev blogged)

[]Tuli[] - cable knit cropped vest (long ago hunt gift now 35L/colour!)

SUGARCUBE - skirt from chimney dress  (0L pressie can't find from where)
OhMai! - High Rise tank in Maroon (part of 5L colourpack)

Yay! I'm back! I plan on posting more.. RL stuff kinda got in the way for awhile but hopefully that's settled now . Here's a quickie (and timely) post just to get started again. As I am sure you all know, OMGWTF of This Is A Fawn and Radio Signals have set up an amazing skybox filled with incredible one of a kind items, the proceeds of which all go to the Haiti Red Cross fund. please, it's such a small thing, but with so many of us, we can give something so substantial to people in need. The shirt I'm wearing is Reek's addition to the effort, and is one of 4 patterns for 75L ea. I plan on getting all four, as well as many other amazing items.

So, yeah my modem COMPLETELY melted down and after a truly annoying back and forth with my provider, I am back up and running. With this post of awesome *grin*. Yes, I have caught the fever.. because I have been listening to Karen O and The Kids' "Where The Wild Things Are" soundtrack. Pretty close to nonstop.


First - I have on the awesome group gift hair from Tarnished - Wild One. There is another version in store for sale that I will blog as soon as I can snap it up. With it I have the "Just Hope" hoodie (sans hood >.<) and jeans outfit from Tyranny Designs (400L for the full outfit w/sceptre/300L for just the hoodie/sceptre). It is quite possible that these may be my favourite new jeans. I may wear them until their pixels rot off my bod.

My skin is from Rockberry - Sasha w/freckles (300L for 4 skins - w/ or w/out freckles and tintable lip skins for both). I looooove this skin, and I know a version was given out as a group gift aaaaages ago, but I missed that boat.


All poses come from (pda), and I took these snaps in a sim I just discovered (aptly enough) called Where The Wild Things Are. It is incredible, and a place I can't wait to explore more! Stomping around, growling ferociously and waving round my sceptre, of course.

skeletal blonde.

Song For This Post - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn75dgXb08Q

Okay so, I am not a blonde girl. It just isn't my preference, and oftentimes when I wear blonde hair in SL, I feel very not me. But lately, I have been drawn to the powder colour from lamb. I love it! I don't know what it is about the colour that I find so attractive, but, it just.. works. So I thought today, I would feature my now favourite blonde colour, along with the appropriate song. (I collect jennifer songs btw. Weird idiosyncracy, yes, but I do.)


This first look is comprised entirely of pieces from the silentsparrow (ember) Gnubie Store offering (0L for sooo many pieces!!). Hya is so generous to both new residnets and her twittery bird group members that she deserves your patrnage. Her attention to detail, and fun natured releases make everyone drool. And while yes, her outfits are geared towards the gothic, honestly, they are also very versatile when pulled apart, or worn differently.


The lamb hair I am wearing with this outfit is called Unbirthday Redux (300L/colour pack). My necklace was an awesome find I discovered last Halloween from a store called **mischievous cat**. It is a scripted watch - that tells real time and can be set to either SL time, or your own time zone. While this particular item is no longer available, there is a gorgeous ocean blue version in the lucky board that I am dying to get. Not to mention the other gorgeous pieces of jewelry and watches for both sexes.


This next outfit features the lamb hair I blogged previously as a 50L Friday item, and is how I would wear my hair irl; except, you know, not blonde >.< . With it I have on The Plastik's Addiction Hunt gift (0L - incl a sweater of the same colour as well), and leggings from Mirrors (0L previous gift I do not think is available any longer). The pose above is from (pda) and the others are either from my AO or scripted into the chairs. .

All pictures were taken at the incredible new silentsparrow build (while waiting for the lucky chair heehee). Please explore it! There are so many hidden nooks and treasures to discover.

cherish the broken ones.

Okay so I really meant to blog this Wednesday, and then have another post for yesterday, but I am currently so sick that I want to just keel over. SO I am combining them into one megapost for today. The thing is, though, they DO actually go together, and sort of give a 3 looks/one base outfit dimension to this post. Unfortunately, 50L Friday is over, so hopefully you weren't relying on my blog for the reminder *winces*. All shots were taken at The Stringer Mausoleum's eerie homestore.

The base pieces I used in this post are:

The awesome slit leggings from GiGi Couture (1L instore gift)
&bean group gift skin
Uncle Wiggily cherub horns (0L no longer available, the creator has disappeared),
Lazy Places Ungulate Boots (I forget! I bought them during a sale, that much I remember, but it was some time ago..)

i love 13 group gift tat

First Look:

This look highlights a few of my 50L Friday finds:

This Is A Fawn - Bloody Vneck

lamb - Egomaniacal Black Roots Pack

(pda) - Billy Childish pose pack (used in these two photos).

Second Look:

For this look, I am wearing:

Milk Motion's incredible My Belted Jacket (50L during the previous 50L Friday event)

The Stringer Mausoleum hair (above photo - Anenome Rocker Pack (50L/colour pack); below photo - RoosterHawk Rocker Pack (25L/colour pack)

Did you notice the CRAZY prices for TSM's hair??!! Yes, Helena is having an unbelievable sale. I don't know how long this will last, but prices range from 25L -100L, if I remember correctly. Get yourself over there NOW or you might miss out!

Third Look:

And finally, for this one, I have on:

the instore dress gift from HOTCH POTCH (0L)

Cogsmistress hair from TSM (0L Steampunk hunt gift - which is how I found out about the hair sale in the first place!)

[LAP] poses - (0L poop Hunt gifts)

These outfits were all inspired by a poem I wrote, which I've posted with the two above pics on my Flickr. The link to my photostream is on the left if you are interested in reading.
