[on the way towards stage]

Adrenaline was seeping from his body just like the first hint of anticipating sweat, bemusing his surroundings with the thick, musky perfume of his tension while his heartbeat increased to a level not even their drummer in one of his brilliant solos could reach. He could feel them, those subtle, yet electrifying vibrations of desire from the crowd, radiating through steel and concrete, letting his baby hair raise stand on end. They wanted him. They needed him. And they were loving him, too - eager to get a shot of the drug that was his mesmerizing voice. He paused in his track and looked up towards the ceiling, his words speaking of admiration and wonder. "Can you hear them shouting?" Catching the guitarist's grin from the corner of his eyes, he shivered as the hoarse voice reached his ears. "They're shoutin' for you, man - just for you..."



Lately, I never manage to resist whatever gorgeous hairstyle lamb! puts out at Collabor88, and so I found myself leaving with two of the color-packs once again. As you can see, the style called 'Phenomena' is definitely unisex - it comes with matching hairbases, but I'm using another since I didn't want to go for the totally shaven look in these pictures. The pants have been a lucky find for me, too: I really love wearing knee-high (combat) boots, but the usual pants either make your legs look like a stork, or they're hiding most of the shoe with their cuffs. These cargo pants from RONSEM, however, have two different styles of cuffs, one to show your shiny boots off and other, regular one, for those days when you haven't polished them nicely. Said footwear are the rather classic looking combat boots from Abyss which I'm still loving hard because of their stunning textures.
And now - rock on, people!

[suffering for your sins]

"Not even the unbearable ache as they drilled those thorns of steel through my head and took my eyes was comparable to the pain you punished me with when you left me, blind and suffering for your numerous sins."

[melancholy fall]

The Gallery Gift Shop - an eclectic mixture between art gallery and store - has gone into it's 3rd cycle of releases, and 22769 is once again participating with a mesh-outfit that is perfect for fall. The beige pants are about 7/8 long and have a detailed, wide cuff to show off with your pair of favorite rainproof boots. Cable-knit is the comfortable sweater with the small turtleneck and its rich, dark-brown color, so if you're looking for a nice ensemble to lounge in front of the fireplace and enjoy your hot chocolate while the rain is pouring down outside, I can only recommend to visit the Gallery Gift Shop, grab a demo and then make it yours!

[make me fly]

Make me fly and forget
all the sorrows of
today

Hold me in your arms
and protect me
forever.

Miamai has just recently released their latest Blacklabel-Collection named Chod, and I immediately fell in love with it. Black pearls, embedded in luscious, almost ethereally arranged folds of sheer cloth, fur and delicate lace are the main themes of those carefully crafted items - and a lot of dark glamour. I particularly love the overlong 'goth-sloth' sleeves which also look stunning worn without the rest of the jacket, and the loose-sitting and wide pants are not only comfortable, but also rich in detail and continue the jacket's theme, making them a perfect match.



The Begtse-pants are available in both black and white, whereas the Skanda-jacket comes in black only. However, they are unisex, so all of you fashionable gals don't need to feel left out and can feast your eyes on those beautiful pieces as well. In honour of the new collection you can also grab the matching Warcry necklace as a group-gift in the new Blacklabel building - there is a slightly different female version up for grabs, too, so don't miss out on those!
