[bleeding ink]

You brought me to life
from sketch,
engraving me in copper and black -
your favourite rockstar bound to hang
above your bed.

But time passed by and your interests changed
your men were of flesh now and jealousy-strained
watching me with narrowed eyes as I stayed in my frame -
terrified.

But they never touched me and in the end it was you
disowning me with a shattering grip
of your birth-giving fingers' threw
leaving me lifeless and bleeding ink
and laughing at my very last
blink.

Just looking at her portrait could wake his hunger for brains.

I found this really nicely made outfit called 'Zombie Boy' at the Hunt of the Living Dead at *RoTtEn DeFiAnCe*. It comes in a clean and dirty version and in multiple layers, the prim parts such as pant-legs, shirt-sleeves and the collar are sculpted.

Miasnow has recently released new skinlines for men and women that play with the popular Dia de los Muertos-topic. You can win the 'plain' version of Muerto Miguel exclusively at her MiniMania Board - which needs only 5 slaps until it delivers the skin to one of the participants.

[there is a new face in town...]

...and yes, that's me, proud to present you SL's finest and most extraordinary stuff all those great designers have to offer and to smack the prejudice that there is no great stuff for men around. So fasten your seatbelts, everyone, and join me on my usually turbulent journeys through the SLuniverse.

To match the title, I decided to show off Aitui's latest groupgift, the "Anatomical Display" face tattoo. You need to run a 2.0 compatible viewer to be able to use it, since it comes on the new tattoo-layer, but it's so worth it.




I can only recommend to stay in the group since Jesseaitui Petion, owner and creator of Aitui, hands out the greatest gifts to its members - so if you have a slot free, join and get comfortable, you won't regret.

Over and out for today!
