Strange Pixels

Every now and then, as I am shopping, or doing a shoot, I run into someone with a truly amazing av. Normally I would take a pic or two, perhaps compliment them if I have time for a conversation. I ran into Krikon Ackmann while I was doing the shoot for Memento Mori and was so impressed I decided I needed to share his av foo with you. A few days later we arranged to meet to take some pics and he asked if he include his friend Siena. I am so glad he did as her av is a perfect mate to his.  Thank you both. <3

Nomine has released a slew of new gothy black dresses in some really unique and beautiful styles.

For today’s post I’m wearing the vampy Lilim dress, and the vampy boy-shaped Achariya. ;)

Munchflower Zaius at Nomine released a whole glorious line of gypsy-inspired clothing and skins yesterday.  You can imagine my impatience as I trudged through work, hearing these lovelies sing my name.

Making the wait even more unbearable was the fact that Achariya’s scrumptious boy incarnation was dressed and awaiting me.
I pictured him lounging langorously… shirt half open, a bored expression in his eyes…    TORTURE, I tell you!

There are so many options and pieces in this set… shirts, vests, corsets, skirts, jackets, jeans… in rich colors with an exotic gypsy aesthetic.  These pieces just beg to be layered up and combined in a million different ways.  Get thee to Nomine, and gypsify thyself.

I thought that you knew it all
Well you’ve seen it ten times before.
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground.
I love slow…slow but deep.
Feigned affections wash over me.
Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations.
Dream on my dear
Its a sleep from which you may not awaken.

You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I’m serving time in disillusionment.

I don’t believe you anymore…I don’t believe you.

I thought that I knew it all
Id seen all the signs before.
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won.

You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I’m serving time in a domestic graveyard.

I don’t believe you anymore…I don’t believe you.

Never let it be said I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I gave you all my time.

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!)
