Goth me, sort of.

Still no nails

Still no nails, but I am recently infatuated with Adam n Eve shoes, namely these metallic ones. They go very well with my green jeans by Canimal, and my LuLu green sweater. This is me as a blond, which I am in RL. The skin is by Gala, and the Hair, Maitreya.

Last week I left off some of my gothic stuff. I am always mixed about showing it. The look is so cute on my friends, but never sits well on me. I am behind in my blogging, however and I cannot get on SL so more will soon follow.

Retro

I love retro things. Not complete retro, as there is definitely some stuff I can live without, but in general, I like referencing, or simply stealing, fashion ideas from the bygone era. Of late I am particularly into the '60s. It might be all the Star Trek I have seen lately, but I am really into ultra lounge fashion. Ava Choo indulged me by putting out their Pucci shoes, which are bright and loud, as you can see. And yes, I am looking for toenails and finger nails in SL, so leave comments with suggestions.

These shoes led me directly to Carnaby Street, in SL and the Mondrian dress. Adding in a flirty bob (more '20s than '60s) gets you this look:

5 days since tax day

Five days since Tax Day and I have been travelling again. This time to Nevada to be an emergency bridesmaid. I suppose that having a career was important enough to me that I put it before other things in my life, but really, when friends get married I am a little sad. Why have I not taken this plunge? Am I too rational to do it? Or am I too demanding of the men I meet. I have an RL attraction to women as well, and I have thought that my bisexuality might have something to do with never committing to a man, but then I have never committed to a woman either. It is more that the sort of impulsive moment of romance that precipitates a marriage has thus far eluded me IRL. Of course I still hope....

I did get on SL a couple of times this week to see my girls and update my wardrobe. It has been a sort of impulsive and extreme period, with a good solid commitment to pink:

The hair was a freebie given to me by Viv, and the dress is from AW Design. They also made the shoes. This is more pink on my body than has ever been there before, and it is sort of an interesting feeling. Its shocking to me, but pink really does make me feel girly.

Here are the heels, aren't they awesome?

Tax Day

Two weeks into april and I have nothing to say for myself. I spent ten days in South America for work, whihc was a good thing and then came back to tax time, and dealing with the accountant. I finally finished the damed things and I am taking some time off to go shopping tomorrow as I am desperate for underwear and, of course, high heels.

I have not even logged in to SL, so I do not have any photos to show this post. I had promised something about Russian fashion, and I will get there. But for all who care I am alive, and missing the SL experience. So show up in world and IM me. Or take me shoe shopping.

Well another period of silence elapses, as I spend a weekend with my cousin in Palm Springs doing mostly nothing but some RL shopping. I am a huge fan of Russian designers, and sometime I simply must do a blog about why.

I am taking the cheating way out today and doing an outfit post. I really should do these in flickr, as I enjoy photo diaries there. But this is me today (and last night!):

Hair: Maitreya; Dress: Maitreya; Heels: Maitreya

I love these heels. Of course in this picture, you cannot see the red soles (a shame, they are cute):

I am remiss!

Almost a week since my last entry and I am feeling guilty. Not that I have many faithful readers, but I do worry I have alienated a few of them. Of course it would be nice to have lots of comments screaming at me to post. Or just comments in general to let me know you readmy blog.

Of course there are so many things to write about, that I never know where to begin: men, my girls, russian fashion, SL fashion Maitreya Shoes, politcs religion, sex and ethics.... Well, you get the Picture.

I sometimes have the inclination to debate the finer points of an intellectual premise, and SL's Socrates Cafe is a wonderful outlet for this. A group of avatars sitting around a fire, debating topics is a far cry from typical SL entertainment, but it does show that SL is a forum for all manner of activities. What is wonderful is I can be a hot philosohy girl one day, and then be a hot poledancing girl the other. And what I really love in SL is that I can define myself as hot two days in a row. I don't think this has ever happened to me in RL, ever!

SometimesI have my utterly girly moments, and nothing ever feels more girly to me than pink. God I know it is a stereotype that has been socialized into me from birth, but dammit, pink makes me feel pretty. I am a horrible feminist sometimes, kicking through glass celings with pink heels. I did not do the cleanest photoshop job on this picture by here are the pink star sandals.

A word about Veto Keen. Veto is a regular at some of SL's best sims-of- ill-repute. Veto is one of the most unique men I have met in SL, with a wonderful sense of humor, and the capacity to be truly nice. When I first met him, his typical incarnation was as a crusty, overweight, cigar smoking dirty old janitor, mopping floors in a sex club. This was brilliant! His avi was so wrong and unsexy that I was immediatly intrigued. Well as the months have passed I have seen many other incarnations of Veto, and while he is certainly part of my circle of friends, I still find him sexy.

The other night we were at Viv's new place and we were icking on Veto's fashion sense. Here is a shot of the business end of his boxers. Unfortunately the screenshot does not do justice to his digital butt. I am going to have to start running SL in high rez again.

Yummy. Evern more Yummy is knowing what a slight tug can do.

Lest I be accused of doing this only for the buttshot, here is Veto, looking dark and brooding, with a touch of mystery, and an ugly gangsta hat:

Well this is all for now, as I am back to Photoshop the rest of my pics for another post.
