#31 Red Red Red

Killing time and emptying my mind by putting together a look.

“I don’t understand about complementary colors
And what they say
Side by side they both get bright
Together they both get gray
But he’s been pretty much yellow
And I’ve been kinda blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I gonna do”

#26 Madness (March Mesh Madness 2012 post)

I’ve been waiting for this event for a few weeks with excitement due to it being dedicated to Mesh.

Here’s a taxi to the event at FATEisland

Damien Fate has done an excellent job hosting this event and bringing some of SLs great mesh creators. Mesh is finally picking up as more and more people get onto viewers that support it. It truly enhances your SL experience. I am ADDICTED to mesh, especially mesh hair (no more strands of hair sticking through my body)

If you’re new to mesh, you’ll find a lot of great goodies here. If you’re familiar with it, you may already own some of the items, but trust me you’ll discover new ones. I am particularly in love with this shirt from coldLogic and the boots from lassitude & ennui. 

OH YEAH! ANNNNNNNNNNND I’m blonde! That never happens. Enjoy it. lol

#16 Feedback

Not sure why, but this outfit made me feel like something of a pixel diva. Fashion diva that is. And what better music to listen to while in Photoshop other than Janet Jackson (one of the all time divas of our time).

Aside from the music. I’ve got a fun new release for you from LpD (Les Petits Details). The new poncho dress is called Mathilda and can be found in 3 colors. What’s more, you can wear it as a shirt (shorter) or a dress (longer). It’s an absolutely beautiful Dress! Follow the SLurl to LpD.

#14 Fixing A Hole

Too much on my mind, blogging helps to keep it away. Guess it’s just one of those weekends. The bandage on the hole.

Speaking of bandages … Sleeping Koala just released some awesome tights. The bandage tights are a fun addition to any outfit. And lucky for people like me, you can get them individually for 90L each or as fatpacks. There are some fun bright solid colors, fishnets, cheetah prints, and zebra prints. Follow this link to get them.

#13 Derezzed (52 Weeks of Color: Folly)

Whenever I see neon lights, I think of Tron. … When the album came out out, I listened to it for half of my plane ride to Europe. I love me some Daft Punk.

Anyways. Not into “catching up” on past weeks of the challenge…and seeing as how I’m a lazy bum. I’ll participate in the weeks when I feel inspired by the color. I’m not into pink usually. Baby pink can just die forever. Bright pinks on the other hand are hawt. So hot, I spelled it hawt. Even better when I can find it in mesh.

The Outfit

Shoes by Maitreya: Maitreya Gold * Moxie Coal (magenta)

#11 Under the Bridge

Holy cow! It’s been a month and half since my last post (maybe longer). Either way, happy blood red and pink singles awareness day and such.

Not much to tell here. We found a cool sim, it has a bridge. You get the idea for the music theme. What’s hotter than hot pixels with a motorcycle…and leather and lingerie?

By the way, this cute bra and cincher set is a Valentine’s Limited edition at Blacklace. Quick! You still have enough time to get it.

By the way. Check out Sho Kenin’s new blog: Procrastinating With Style 

He’s come back to blogging and it’s been a while. So he needs some love on his page. He’s got some pretty good fashion too…but I’m biased. ;)

#10  Singing in the Rain (duh)

I’m still featuring some With Love (again) Hunt items…mostly because I took this picture a WEEK ago and just found the time to photoshop it last night. :/ C’est la vie. Good thing it runs until January 6th!!! You still got time.

I had to use the Holiday Lamp post again from {What Next}, basically because “Singing In The Rain” was my favorite musical growing up. And, Gene Kelly was (and still is) my favorite actor of that era. So I donned my fedora hat (from the hunt), put on a snazy dress (from the hunt), and threw on a suit jacket.

Dress -(Kunglers)  Black dress *With Love (again) Hunt Item available until January 6th

#9 Do You Hear

Here are some featured items from Fashionably Late and the With Love (again) Hunt. Just a little something I pulled together.

I don’t have much to say about the items I’ve got my fantabulous pixels wearing. But I’m gonna continue on with the Holiday music. Tonight I bring you Future of Forestry. So, I was actually looking for this song on Spotify, and I happened to catch their name. Could it possibly be these guys? And it was. Let me tell you, I know the lead singer from 8 or so years ago, and hearing him sing this song brought back a Flood of memories. (ahaha pun not intended, but still funny. I knew them when they were Something Like Silas, where they sang at a service called Flood). Anyways. I’ve been in something of an odd mood the past few days. And listening to Future of Forestry’s Christmas albums has been somewhat reconciling. See. 7 years ago something happened that was damaging to me personally and the members of Silas. Listening to Eric sing brought back some crazy memories, good ones. He’s got a great singing voice (if you’re into this ambient/rock style), and I remember very vividly the emotions he could stir in a crowd. Anyways. This life changing and damaging event. He redefined himself with the new band name (all original band members having since left). Not only that, but he overcame the hardship and found himself a wonderful life in this moment now. I thought back for a moment, and realized I’m in a much better place than I was 7 years ago. And despite my funk, I can still appreciate that I have a fulfilling job (despite it being frustrating as hell), I’ve got a beautiful and wonderful and large family, and I’m going to marry the love of my life (who I met in SL). The things that damaged our souls are finally behind me. I’m not sure when I let go of the resentment or the anger. But I think hearing this dude’s voice, a blast from my past, made me realized that I did. And hell. that’s something to celebrate.

#7 Sleigh Ride

Oh my God! I am alive! Here’s a blog post, which I did mostly because I wanted to photoshop something, which I’m rust at.

No Sleighs in this post, but I had that song on repeat, so I’ll force you all to listen to it at the end of the blog post.

Check out Collabor88 if you haven’t been yet. The mesh skirt by Aura is fun and cute. And the fox scarf by Anya Ohmai is my favorite. It comes in three colors. It’ll keep your pixels warm.
