Song For This Post: The Rentals - The Love I'm Searching For

Okay, so I love the Rentals. Love them. I got to see the reunion tour when it came through Vancouver, and I had so much fun at that show, just like every Rentals show I've been to. I also love Matt Sharp. Maybe a bit more than the hub would like, but yanno, Matt is on my drop trou list LMAO. Here's a live version of one of my favourite songs by them..

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.

fragile.

Song For This Post: Sting - Fragile

Today is Pink Shirt Day.. A day that was started in Canada, after a boy got bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. His school rallied around him, and a group of boys decided to wear pink shirts to show support. But today I feel only sadness. Today I can only think of Phoebe Prince. She was a beautiful soul.. relentlessly bullied day in and day out - at school, at home, online, via text msg, and everybody knew. EVERYBODY - teachers, "friends", the principal. And not one person did one goddamned thing. Not the school, not her peers.. NOONE. On Jan 14th, 2010, after yet another day of constant harassment, incl a Red Bull can being thrown at her head on the way home from school, she walked in her door, up to her room, and hung herself. Even after her suicide, the menace persisted; comments were plastered all over her facebook, her family's sites, anything online that mentioned her name. She is gone now, and noone can ever take back what was done to her. I feel so beyond horror, so beyond tears. Pink shirts might not have saved her.. but someone could have. Someone could have helped pull her out of the personal hell she was in. Will you be that person, for the next Phoebe Prince?

I love, love, love this video and song - it's so imaginative and inspiring.

BUT then I remembered the upper level of Tempura Island with their dreamy fields of flowers...

The second I put on these leggings, the only song I could think of was this awesomeness. I am half-dancing even now as I listen to the playback of TV's performance on Letterman.

baby blue.

Song For This Post: DMB - Baby Blue

Ah.. Day 45324543456 of this flu, I swear. I have reached the pathetic, achy and off-and-on weepy portion of this thing. I'm sad and melancholy and all I want is my mother's cool hand on my feverish forehead. She passed away on Feb 18th, 2008... So, this song means a lot to me. It's wrapped up with thoughts of her and thoughts of other special someones I have lost along the way. My outfit is essentially what I am wearing irl (and have been, frankly, for the past however long lol).

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!)
