Time to rock

The light was perfect. Just pink and yellow like he loved it. Those were the colours he always prefered even on the arrow which had been painted on his cheek by a girl he maybe would lay after the show. Well if he would manage to remember her name. It was now three years ago that they had released their first album and the time since then had been like a dream. Sometimes he was afraid that he would wake up soon but it never happened. The shows were fun although he was normaly so drunken that he hardly ever remembered them.

The shows were fun although he was normaly so drunken that he hardly ever remembered them.
 Sometimes it is fun to style in a special way for example as glam rocker. The ziggy makeup from 22769 is great for this. It is available in many colours and looks great in any of them. To complete the look there are currently some neat items available in the make him over hunt. You need to be member of the huntgroup to be able to get those. The Bone Leather Jacket from BC322 for example. It is made of mesh and comes in several sizes. There is of course an alphalayer included. The boots from Muism are an other great gift in this hunt. They are extremly well made and remind a bit on tanker boots. The guitar and the microphone plus the speakers are all gifts from a store called Witch Babe. They sell many guitars and in the video below you can see the awesome dance which is included in the ao which comes with it. Tableau Vivant takes part in the Femboy Hunt. The gift is a skin which cost 2 Lindens. Purple poses made a set of guitar poses and the static one used for the pictures is one of them. It is possible to buy it with guitar but the poses themself also work with other guitars. Wasabi Pills made a lot of mesh hair. The Hawk one is great for fantasy styles but also great for rockers.

The Girl and the Skull

She lay there at night, bathed in the moonlight shining through the glass panes of the window. Tears welled in her eyes, and slid softly over her cheeks. The music, made to be played so loud, brought her some comfort even as it came from the speakers in barely a whisper. She felt the overwhelming sadness of loss, as the world turned, and the moon followed the steps of its slow dance through the sky. Had it always been like this? Such depth of feeling? Or did it deepen, wounds worsening with each passing?

He felt the pain, even across all these miles, it found him. Found him through the maze of city streets and alleyways. Even through the smog, the pale smudge that was the light of the moon could be seen. He stepped out from under the streetlight to see it away from the manmade glare. The pounding beat of the music pushed him, their songs... He knew from the moonlight the phase it was in, and what it meant. His eyes darkened, this too would end. They would come together again, joined by more than the girl and the skull, the music and the moon.

This is the first of several posts that will be coming all about the work of an amazing artist Mzzy Wytchwood. All artwork in her designs is hand drawn by her, and I hope you will love them as much as I do. These T-shirts are just the start. While there is no in-world store (yet) you can get the shirt from Marketplace. Marketplace store is

The Fallen

The fall itself did not seem to hurt him...

Not in a physical sense anyway, though, he may not know, or understand this, it being afterall the first time he had taken physical form. Until now, he had been a being of pure light and shadow, even the angels now had some shadow to them, some understanding, however vague, of the world below. The dawn had come, it was his time, his turn to fall, to carry some light with him, and be tested against the darkness. Should it come to pass that he help, or hurt, even he did not yet know. As he fell, bathed in the strangely warm blue light, his path was unknown to him, his character forming from the atoms as they wrapped together, his true self only now coming together. The light and shadow mingled within him, heart and lungs, skin and bone. Falling further and faster, the world opened up beneath him, its heat, its life, its billions of heartbeats, each one affecting him, making his mind clearer, setting his goals.

As the light bathed his new form, his fall came to an end. The virgin touch of skin on sand burned with icy fire, he knew nothing else... this must be how it was, to touch, to feel. With newfound eyes he looked around, saw the beauty and the barrenness of this world, felt more of its power, its malaise. As the light still shone, further changes were wrought. As his plans formed, all he would need to begin was given to him, soft black animal hide, the sensation of a sound, a word, formed in his mind "Leather" even as the material clothed him. This must be it. This was all he needed. He was ready. Stepping from the light, a sure step, no sense of it being the first he had taken, and he was gone, off to start his work in the world.

[count frost]

Ever wondered where all those metal heads in SL are hiding? They already seem to be a rather rare species in RL, at least where I'm living - and if we're talking about those people whose outfit tells you what music they might like. It doesn't seem to be much different in Second Life, so I was having some trouble to dress accordingly to my (musical) mood when I recently re-discovered my love for Black Metal. Thankfully, there is certainly no lack of awesome leather pants and net shirts in our little world, so the basics were there, and I remembered the Cake hair I'd bought ages ago and which matched the look perfectly, but... the rest?

While looking through old screenshots, my eyes caught a pair of spiked armbands I was wearing on one, and after some research, I also remembered the store's name: [SP] - Spider Productions, established in 2005. This shop does not only sell spikes, studs, and everything that looks awesome when you're going for a darker look, but also stunning hybrid avatars (such as dragons), armor, jewellery and accessories, weapons and much more! And they also have a bunch of Lucky Boards out, in case you want to check on their quality first. The boots I'm wearing in this post, for example, are one of the Lucky Board prices and greatly textured, plus: easy to resize. A:S:S's latest release, the more-than-awesome Count-corpse paints (you can choose from a variety of 10, or simply grab the fatpack) added the final touch to my outfit.

Gallery Opening

It was always the same. She ate too much at gallery openings. Now she was not able to take any pictures because her hands were covered with chocolate. It was really tricky to be a reporter.

Many events are going on today. One of them will be the opening party of the Insane/Focus exhibition at Lust4Art. Moolfryt Klang and Loviathar Hellman show pictures they took on their travels. They are intense and definitly worth to have a look at. Its even possible to buy them so that you can decorate their home with them. As Loviathar Hellman is the owner of Virtual/Insanity she built a gift for the opening party. Its the keychain with the camera. The opening party starts at 11 am SLT today. Club Industry DJ Demonica Bade will float the sim with some great music. The shirt is the current 22769 groupgift. Its included in a male and a female version and comes even with pants. The shirt goes well with the current temperatures as it is very warm. Today is a black friday sale going on. The Abyss sells those leather pants there for 100L$. They are also sold in a version for guys there. Beside the Abyss some other brands tak part in the sale. To go there you need to join thewarehouse group.
Some days ago was my rezzday. The cookie belongs to the Rez day gift from Concrete Flowers. There are some more munchies included into it.

Camera: [VIRTUAL/INSANITY] THE PHOTOGRAPHER KeyChain - Red&Black (0 L$ will be a gift at the Insane/Focus vernissage at 11 am SLT 25th Nov. 2011)

The pose used for the picture comes from Purple Poses.

[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!

Never can tell

It took a while till they found the room they wanted to finish. The house was allready giant. Way bigger than they had planed to build it. But it was just for training. Their aims were way bigger. They wanted to manage to build a house which would cross the sandar. The biggest river in the whole country. It was the last step to become the head magicians of the empire. But they needed to train it. So it was time for the 368th room. They started the dance. First the room was just a shimmering square around them. This was the most difficult part. As long as it wasn't physical they had to levitate and to dance at the same time. But after creating 367 rooms together their bodies moved in a perfect rhythm together. After a while they were able to feel the floor under their feet. Things seemed to go well. They hoped that they would only need to create around 400 more buildings until they would be ready for their masterpiece. Housing shortage was a problem nobody had heared of in the country where they lived.

The disco hunt is still going on but will end soon (at Oct. 15th). This pose is one of the gifts in it. It comes from Captivity and it is just amazing that its possible to recreate the dancing scene from pulp fiction with it. Bare feet are essential for that scene so the primfeet from slink fit perfectly. Although those ones have slightly longer toenails and also pawpads under the feet so that they are just perfect for roleplay. The feet are of course tintable and so are the toenails. Its also possible to turn off the pawpads as for example a demon might not have them while a werewolf of course needs them. The exotix feet are on the backside of the vendor with the normal feet. The jacket on him comes from Gentleman as well as her trousers. The jacket also includes a white shirt. Gentleman is a great store for well textured clothes for men. The white tucked shirt belongs to a set from phoenix rising. They sell everything for 25 L$ or lower there. The hair on him comes from Sadistic Hacker, which is an awesome store for anime like hair and the hair on her comes from Wasabi Pills, which is an awesome store for fantasy and just cute hair.

With friends in the garden

Somehow a giant clover grow in my garden. So i asked some friends to visit me. Although it was a strange clover because even the goats who seem to become more and more every day did not want to eat it. We climbed onto the shamrock and Zorah pretended to balance but she had some mean plans ... ouch.

This shamrock is big enough for five people. It is well made as everything from Just a Pose and fits well into the garden or on a st patricks day party. The poses are animated so it looked like Zorah was planing to kick me. I enjoyed it to spend sometime with Dehrynn and Zorah in the garden.

Franckly Fashion

I was just taking pictures when a friend of mine, Franck, came around, with his lovely partner Jill, to show me his latest outfit. In my opinion the combination is quite stunning. The combination of elegant materials with heavy boots and leather pants fits quite well. The long scarf makes the look more arty without letting it look female - the boots and the trousers prevent that. The coat with the scarf and the sweater is sold as combination. There are more versions than the one Franck picked available.
