I'm Nobody's Baby

Love's a cruel device that hurts us all, and there's points in life where you you just gotta be nobody's baby. But seriously though, Sn@tch's fishing outfit Oceanside was black and teal in all the right ways, so I jumped on it. I gotta' say I love these cowboy boots! So I popped on one of my old Sn@tch hats and went a country with a lil' twist. As you can see I went for a girly look, then put an edge on it. With new piercings from Cute Poison and these epic cute spiked bracelets from Atooly, it was too perfect. It took me a few minutes lounging around at Pandemonium to realize, hey this right here is awesome as it is!

Momento Mori

     I have to say Kamelot is probably one of my favorites bands ever, especially their albums Epica and The Black Halo. I had been listening to them the other day when a particular song titled Momento Mori really made me feel something powerful, especially the following lyrics:

"Who wants to separate,
The world we know from our beliefs,
And who sees only black and white,
Distinguish loss from sacrifice,
Some day we may come to peace,
With the world within ourselves,
And I will await you,
Until I close my eyes... close my eyes... close my eyes..."

     So with that playing in my mind over and over again, I set out to create a look based on how the song made me feel.

     Of course things went quite Gothic as you can tell, but that happens with me quite a bit. So I went with something pretty with my own flair to it. It just so happened I was in love with a new acquired, but older, cStar skin. I was wearing her around the Fantasy Fair went I happened to find a dress that called my name and I absolutely just HAD to have! My problem was I had no idea what shoes to wear with it though; that is when my friend Lindsey Warwick popped in and told me about some new platform boots she made! With the name being Crushers<3 I was interested. So I popped over to her store and fell in love! She has numerous colors, including discounted flame print ones specific to her in-world location. I grabbed as many as I could hold! It was to my surprise though that her HUD is very simple and easy to use. Not to mention color packs can be mixed and matched. I was so epic jazzed about it!

     After I had found the PERFECT boots to go with this look, I found a pretty flower head piece and a monotone clutch in my inventory that were begging to be used. I originally had a blonde hair with this look too, but something about it didn't seem quite right, so I didn't blog the look right away. I did however go to the Truth Hair sale with one of my closest friends, Jasmine. With her knowledge, she knew that there was a ponytail waiting there for me that I would absolutely love. I wasn't quite sure on it at first, but after buying it and trying it on in Pearl, she was so friggin' right! <3 My look was complete!

     Lastly, I headed over to a certain monotonous dark carnival out on the grid with one of my favorite Apple Spice poses. Pictures were taken and I was very happy with the results! <3

Surreal Sunset

I was playing around with another of the beautiful skins I acquired last week at the sale cStar had, and to be completely honest I was having a hard time finding anything to go with the makeup and skin tone I had chosen when purchasing this skin. Luckily, the Twisted Hunt brought me back to Vengeful Threads, and as I was wandering around hunting I saw this outfit, and knew I had found a match made of awesome.

The colors on this version of the outfit made the makeup pop, and the browns in it seem to make the skin have a glow about it all its own. Of course the minimal coverage showing off the detail on the chest, stomach, and lower back of this divine skin, as well as the always beautiful face detail, doesn't hurt at all either. I have to say Vengeful Threads outfits with cStar skins might be something more of a reoccurring thing with me after looking around and seeing possible combinations appear before my eyes while I'm window shopping.
