no reason to cry out your eyes.

Song For This Post: Hawksley Workman - No Reason To Cry Out Your Eyes

This is a song that I turn to.. well all the time lol. Just listen will you? It has a message we all need to hear sometimes. Also, as someone commented the vid, "My life would be so much better if I had a little Hawksley hanging from my mirror". I couldn't agree more..

oh you delicate heart.

Song For This Post: Hawksley Workman - Oh You Delicate Heart

This song is one that means a lot to me. Yes, it's sombre, but oh.. it's melancholia completely touches my soul. He's a master at exposing my redly beating heart, is Hawksley. This version of this song, most particularly. I think the baroque grainy Paris shots and "stranger in a strange land" feeling of the video just amplify the effect.

This is going to be a quickie, with the hopes that I'll have another one right after(ish). You'll notice that in the next few posts I'll be featuring different songs by Hawksley Workman. I think he is currently one of the most underrated Canadian musicians out there, and he rocks my world. I discovered him over 5 years ago, after having moved to Vancouver, on the late night Much More Music Video Flow. I have been hooked ever since, and I hope to get a few more converts.

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)

already yours.

Song For This Post: "Already Yours" - Bahamas

This post I'm featuring one of my favourite skybox.home builders in SL, Molto Bene!. Gorgeous texturing, sleek low primmage, the things coming from this store are so appealing to me. The crate I am on in the above pic is also part of the Haiti Relief Skybox. You get 6 crates, each with a different sit pose in them for the incredible price of 99L! AND the proceeds of this item (when bought from the skybox) go entirely to the Red Cross fund. The gorgeous skybox I am in is the Mini Seaside cabin (50L 16prims!). It has a 10x10 footprint, which is ample for me, and comes with either plain walls, or lyrics, as you see behind me.

This next pic, I'm inside my absolute favie piece, Aden&Anna's Pigeon Coop (150L 33 prims). It has working doors and the usual attention to detail you can guarantee from Molto Bene!. I had tried to do some shots featuring all the amazing free deco goodies I found, but, yanno, SL hates me. So I'lll save those items for a later post. Stay tuned, cos really, they are incredible.

Had to show you a close up of this amazing skin! it's the exclusive makeup given to group members only from [ATOMIC]. There is a fee to join this group, but you will never regret it. You get showered with exclusives and early notice on items that far exceeds the fee. (Click on the pics for larger views)
