Song For This Post: Jay Malinowski - Santa Monica

This is a song/album I am currently addicted to. Jay Malinowski is the lead singer for Bedouin Soundclash, though his solo release is nothing like their sound. It's haunting and lonely, and just gorgeous. His version of this Bedouin Soundclash song is so heartwrenching, with a completely beautiful vid to go with..

Also: I am using two looks today I've had sitting in my blog folder for awhile cos I just couldn't get to it last week. Both feature the Springy skin in Pale from Plastic Flowers (25L/2 tones), the DUBOO owl tat (35L). and the Medley hand tats from the Spring Bazaar; both tats I've been wearing for ages, and most likely will continue doing so lol.

Song For This Post: Scott Weiland - Mockingbird Girl

I love love love this song. This is a live version by Scott Weiland of a song he did w/The Magnificent Bastards, which was featured in the Tank Girl movie soundtrack (a now not-so-secret favourite of mine!).

T he other thing I have to tell you about is: The Dressing Room outlet. It is a collection of amazing clothing @ ridiculously afforable prices, from AMAZING designers (incl this dress from So Many Styles). I stumbled accidentally on this place today, and now I see it on the feeds. I guess everything is going to be between 40-70L, w/a rotating cast of designers every 2 weeks. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

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: Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty

For this look, I wanted a song that was haunting and surreal - and Modest Mouse is a band that so often holds both of those qualities. Plus? This song has been stuck in my mind for some days now. What better way to exorcise it than to use it to soundtrack my trip through Putrid's sims? I flitted around so much, wandering aimlessly, that I couldn't tell you which was taken where exactly, but go explore it for yourself. Also, the hair/skin is what inspired this very David Lynch/Helena Bonham Carter look (at least to me lol).
