Strange Pixels

I’m struggling with writer’s block tonight; I can’t even think of a good title.

Ah well… I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

(I can’t believe I haven’t shown these legs yet… besides being amazingly cool, they are quite well-made.)

For a few days now, I’ve been tinkering around with a post featuring Tokeo.Plastik.  Then Achariya issued a Posemaker Challenge, and I knew they would work well together.  This outfit is just the kind of thing I go pose shopping in:  Simple pants and a top, hair up and out of the way, to best see the poses and how they affect my (somewhat oddly shaped) avatar.

The challenge:  show a five-pose sampling from one of your favorite posers.

I deliberated over this challenge a bit.  Do I show some ecclectic finds from a favorite little out-of-the-way shop, or do I feature one of my solid favorites from a place more well-known?  When I looked through my pose stand to see who I had the most poses from, there was one clear winner.  The fabulously talented Dove Swanson, and her shop Long Awkward Pose.

Dove’s poses just suit my avatar so well.  Quirky without being crazy.  Fun without contorting the avatar too much.  Full of attitude, each pose seems to tell a story or convey a definite mood.

Oh yes, and back to Tokeo.Plastik:  they’re running a big sale as they prepare to clear out stock and move to a new location, so run on down there.  Their lovely displays of interesting  items in a candy-like array of colors is like shopping crack to me, I just can’t resist.

The Illusions Mardi Gras Masquerade was this past Saturday night.  As expected, the gathered and assemblage were decked out to the utter nines.

When dressing for a Siyu party, I know I have to put everything I have into an outfit.  Eye candy doesn’t even begin to describe the glittering throng.

I like to grumble about the 200-prim limit Siyu always imposes, but in truth it is a fun challenge to work with.  Not to mention, it levels the playing field somewhat.  With this ensemble, I tweaked and poked until I scraped in at my standard 199 prims. :D

Merriment was had by partygoers all ’round, but I was oblivious to it all as I danced the night away with merman-Achariya. ^.^

Every Sunday after mass, I go to visit my beloved parents.

Today however…

Mademoiselle? You would call me out on a paltry gambling debt?

Alors mademoiselle, We both are wounded and your sword is broken. Honour is satisfied.

I shall consider my debt discharged.

Bonjour papa, bonjour maman.

I bring you greetings from my sister. Alas, she is ill with the flux. She may not live.

I shall pray for her, and for you.

Au ‘voir

Doesn’t everyone hope that someone will make something cool and name it after them one day?  I know it’s always been a badly-kept-secret dream of mine.

I never dared to imagine that it would be one of my favorite designers, my skin goddess Munchflower Zaius, and that it would be a whole line designed with my aesthetic in mind.

Allow me a moment of unrepentant vanity as I present to you the Mourna collection, available now at Nomine:

The Mourna gown with two gorgeous skirt styles and lingerie,  the Mourna hairstyle with its mass of glossy dark ringlets and spikes, four sets of hypnotic and soul-searing eyes, and four stunningly gorgeous skins.

I can die happy now.  But I’ll leave a FABULOUS corpse. :D

I am city… I am the park.

I am glow… in the motherfucking dark…

I am shocked, and I seethe,

I don’t want to believe… no more…

No more…

No more!

I love it when things come together so perfectly.  The lush red of this kilt matched the gloves matched the corset so perfectly, they look like they were made for each other. <3

This kilt is enticingly constructed of strips of matching fabric scraps, giving it a gypsy bohemian feel.  The entire right side is open, but the matching velvet pants peep through so that you never quite know if you’re seeing a flash of  leg or a swish skirt.  Perfect for belly dances.

The arm bells were actually made for the ankles, but since I wanted to wear some chunky boots from Dark Eden, I copied a set and popped them onto my arms.

This is one of my favorite ultra-long hairs I’ve ever seen.  I’m usually not a fan of all the clipping through the body, but this one falls and moves in such a way that I quite enjoy it.  And the metal adornments can be hidden with a voice command.

All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain…
