Tomboy!

I don't know what it is about Reek's clothes that bring out my inner tomboy, but it happens everytime I put on anything from there. Maybe it's because all of Riq's releases relate back to our childhood favourites. As a child, I was DEFINITELY a tomboy. Rough and tumble, I hung out with all the boys, played kick ball, chilled with the older skater boys, and was the girl who got kissed by the boy downstairs while playing Manhunt (a version of capture the flag that any New England child knows well). *grin* Yeah.. that is me in a nutshell. The picture below is me showin' off my Manhunt skills, hiding behind a trashcan.


Okay okay - enough blahblahblah 'bout me.. I'll talk about the clothes now. I'm nearly head to toe in Reek. He's not made shorts yet, but, you know... it's not such a bad idea *coughs*. First I have on Reek's latest Lucky Board Beatles shirt (oL). Under it I layered one of his Colours Baseball Tees (199L/fat pack). When I was a kid, I literally had these classic baseball tees in every colour and wore them under my Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls. I would eagerly watch my older brother's baseball shirts for when he would grow out of them, which ticked him off like you would not believe! Now I can relive my love for these in SL. I blogged one of these in my Purple blog if you want to see a full product shot. I also have on my favourite belt evarrr - Reek's I Heart Batman Belt (prev blogged - yesss I am addiction prone, so sue me).


You NEED to take a peep at my poor knee. I totally skinned it when I fell off the monkey bars. Luckily, Reek has me covered - just like my momma used to, with these wicked bandaids. The I Heart Bandaids (99L/fatpack) come in a TON of colours/layers, so you can mix and match colours, and even wear them on either/both knees! I am especially fond of the reddened skin detail behind them. Takes care of all my ouchies!


To finish off my look, I have on RockCandy's Bambi hair (100L/5pk colours), all the same jewelry, tats and fingertape I always wear, and these superhappymaking kicks from :::LiNe::: (0L MHOH gift). Their Chucks rank amongst my favourites. My shorts are from Frop (part of a previous MM gift, these change often so get to the boardslappin' peeps!).


Finally, just 'cos, I wanted to show you the new friend I made outside of Boycut's public bathrooms on Harold.

Today Is A Weird Day

Today is my rezzday, and it is a funny thing that I didn't hold any importance to last year, which was my first. Yet - this year has changed. This time around, I feel the sting of my hermitous state. I hold an importance for people that seems to be not quite as strong as that which I hold for them. I *think* it is because I have always been a bit of a wanderer, a bit of a loaner. How can someone see you as important if you are simply not around to remind them? I DO have my cherished few who I think of as family, and a couple of best friends that are dearer than anything I could express... I know, I know, bizarre way to start of a blog, but hey - I'm allowed my melancholic moments DAMMIT! lol

ANYways.. I have a lot of pictures which I am not going to explain as in depth, but show you stuff, and where to get it. Which you'd think would be short and simple.. but nahh.. I'm incapable apparently..


Today's Look -

Today totally centered around Reek's Camp Anawana Tee ($125 for the fat pack) and Batman Belt(I don't know as it was a surprise sneekpeek, but I'm guessing, comparable to his other belts which I am wearing throughout the post - they all are texture change and have 32138619865238451537123 options, so go get).

Splatterpainted Reekin' Goodness

Hey everyone! I've gotta tell you about two newly favourite stores. Reek (new mainstore just opened up in Area 408 of Starlust), and Riq has some subscribo-ly goodness for peoples who come by to clicky-click join, as well as a wicked 80s style skating rink for 1L that you've seen blogged everywhere. Plus - tho I've not yet bought them, belts of wonder and dead cupcake shirts of doom that I must own. Must and WILL. And then I'll take pretty pictures for you all to look at. Yes. All three of you.


There are 2 shirts currently available for suscribo groupers - I've only shown one, as pank (which says OHAI and is really cool trust me) isn't so much my thing, and anyone who knows me, knows I say dude way too often for someone who comes from the East Coast.


I've also got on a pair of jeans I have seriously been LUSTING after for DAYS from my second new favourite store, Riddle (older store, new favourite of mine). The lucky chair at Riddle has 5 different washes of these paint splattered jeans. I will most likely go back and just buy the light grey wash (100L still SUCH a deal) cos the mean chair throws out so few J's I wanna cry. These come in a three pack with full, capri, and short lengths, with prim cuffs to match for all.


All these shots were taken @ Oubliette in the most amazing vardo that I am going to buy this week, and then finally find some small little corner of land/sky to rent that will allow saaaay 200 prims or so, and this lil Traveller will finally have her dreamvardo home base *squeeeee* This particular one is called the Steamed Holly and is only 1200L. Seriously, as I sit in this.. I feel like I am at home already, and I've not yet found my domicile. Saiyge has such painstaking attention to details and colour *swoon*
