Bye-Bye, Mein Lieber Herr.

Farewell, mein Lieber Herr.

It was a fine affair,

But now it’s over.

And though I used to care,

I need the open air.

You’re better off without me,

Mein Herr.

This is going to be some drive.

They aren’t called The Wastelands for no reason.

Time to roll.

Stay frosty.

*stretches

I need a pit stop.

Wonder if Giuseppe’s home.

…and awake.

He never was much of an early riser.

You’re sure of a big surprise

If you go out in the woods today

You’d better go in disguise

If you go out in the woods today

You’d better not go alone

It’s lovely out in the woods today

But safer to stay at home

There she is on the stage
Spinning as she sprawls
Thank God the curtains fall
Her spring is sprung
And dances done
Spinning as she sprawls
Thank God the curtains fall

In the morning, he twists the key quite hard
And ticking, she’s brought to boil
“Relevée, my sweet, on point, en garde!”
Her innards twang as they uncoil

“Gentlemen, this fallen angel is the illegitimate daughter of art and science. A modern marvel of engineering, clockworks elevated to the very natural process which even now is in your blood, racing, your eyes flashing at such irreproachable beauty. Here is Gaia, here is Eve, here is Lilith, and I stand before you as her father. Sprung fully-formed from my brow, dewy and sweet; she can be yours and yours again, for her flesh is the incorruptible pale to be excused from the wages of sin.”

-”Herr Drosselmeyer’s Doll,” Abney Park

While I was searching for Mutation Industries a few days ago, I happened across Tokushi Avatars.  Besides some really beautiful full creature avatars in a slew of  fantastical designs, they had… these pants.  They were the only clothes that I saw in the shop, but I loved them and bought them in quite a few colors.  All kinds of styles are included.  Shown with the bloomer bottoms, they also had straight hems, and even a belt with a leather tail guard for you nekos out there.  Male and female sizes.

My first thought when I put on the pants was that I had to have one of Fade Dana’s fantastic helmets with this outfit.  They really are amazing…. she somehow manages to make these huge, heavy helmets still feel very feminine and sexy.  And the textures and sculpt work are absolutely top notch.  Expect to see some outfits styled around some of her more ornate selections in the future.

You know, it’s funny.   Girls in SL have about ten times more available content than boys do.  And yet, when I see something cool that’s just for the boys, I throw a squalling jealous fit.  Such was the case when Winter Jefferson blogged Arcavim a while back.  After pouting for a few days, it occurred to me that the tops at least might also work for women.  So I hied  myself over forthwith, and lo and behold! I has new vests!

Because I’m only able to show you still pictures here, some of the coolness factor is leeched from this outfit.  Both the wings and the hat are full of awesome animated turny twisty bits and gears.  I urge you to check them out in the pixels.

This awesome belt from [NC] is full of all kinds of cool scripted options:  different metals, conch stones, and buttons and pins for the bag.  It’s also scripted for size, as well as being fully modifiable .  Ahhh, accessory bliss. <3

PS:  I was listening to Abney Park while photographing this set, to put me in the mood.  If you haven’t heard them… well why not?  They are awesome.   Start here, this song rocks.  The title of this post is also pulled from a song of theirs.  (Thanks Viv!)
