the girl got hot.

Song For This Post: Weezer - The Girl Got Hot

So this post was inspired by Project Themeory, an awesome collection of stores presenting limited time themed items from weekend to weekend (some vendors still had their items out today, so join the inworld group to grab a list - otherwise, join up and wait for next week!). This first look doesn't feature anything from this particular weekend's theme *cough* which was "Geek Chic", BUT it does fit in with the theme! I swear. The second features a few items from Project Themeory tho, and I have another post in the works for tomorrow, as really, there is so much awesome stuffs <3.

Oh, and the song? Weezer is the ultimate Geek Chic band IMHO (as well as a cpl of others you'll be seeing in the next few posts). I would eat Rivers Cuomo on ice cream. Actually I would eat Matt Sharp (frmr Weezer member, to be featured tom heehee) AND him all up without the ice cream. *swoons* That said - the song works awesome for this - the underrated geeky girl who suddenly blossoms into the super hot chick she was allllll along, without losing her real self.

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?

pussywillow.

Song For This Post: Greg Dulli - Pussywillow

Greg Dulli (for those of you who don't know) is/was the lead singer of the Afghan Whigs, and the Twilight Singers. He oozes this sultry sexualised adoration and love that just GETS me everytime, every song. I've said it before, I'll say it again.. PURE sex-onna-stick, but his sex is one that has meaning, that goes beyond simple flesh and temporary itches being scratched. Yum.

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

Song For This Post: Ian Adams - Upside Down Stars (from the cellar)

I don't know how many of you will know this guy - but Ian Adams is a favourite Boston artist of mine, and this vid is a perfect stripped-down performance gem: just a man, a ukelele and a cellar. Magic in the making. (PS get this album: Stay Up Late. kthxbai)

ocean breathes salty.

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).

frost circus.

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.
