I know a place where I can go when I’m alone
into your arms, into your arms I can go
I know a place that’s safe and warm from the crowd
into your arms, into your arms I can go
and if I should fall
I know I won’t be alone
be alone anymore Continue reading
I haven’t done this before, but I just read a Second Life blog post that really deserves to be read widely. I know it will probably show up on a few feeds, but perhaps not the one you might be reading. I don’t want you to miss one of the best examples of combining fashion, research and creativity in exploring our world and our second world. So, stop reading this and click here to read Neko of the Omo River by Stacia Villota.
This outfit began with the pants from Lelutka that are the perfect mix of fashionable, funky and fun. I love them. They come in several prints and I want all of them but will have to content myself with a couple pair. In typical SL serendipity, I received a lovely fatpack of new tops from eha and their design with the loose, flowing layers is a perfect complement to the pants.
After I finished styling this outfit I knew I had to shoot it at Utopia02 – no energy – by Glyph Graves. I will paste a short clip from the notecard you can request when you arrive there:
Entropy by Glyph Graves
This is a full sim installation that was created for the Shanghai Expo…There are four statues situated on hills at the source of the rivers. The rivers flow in to a central basin. There is a tree near the centre. Whispering into the tree will start the entropy in the system. The statues will melt/fragment change shape and texture. All the sculptures will freeze and change colour. The statue fragments will flow along the rivers to the central basin where the will assume a entropic pattern swirling. The butterflies near the tree will flutter to the ground. don’t forget to whisper again to restore the state…

You Give Your Hand To Me
And You Say Hello
And I Can Hardly Speak
My Heart Is Beating So
And Anyone Can Tell
You Think You Know Me Well
Well….You Don’t Know Me……. Continue reading
Shai Delacroix is back in a big way. After taking a short hiatus from designing and producing new clothing, she has released three new pieces in the last month. In contrast to the bright summery swimsuit and sundress I blogged about the other day, this newest release is all about classical elegance. Reminiscent of Grecian gowns, her new Eleganza is all about elegance in form. The color of the cocoa one made me think of another of the Utopia World Expo sims – Utopia01 – no love.
Utopia01 is a beautiful sim with the rich turquoise landscape. It requires patience as it’s no fly and the walk way appears in front of you as you move through it – so don’t walk to fast or you will fall in the water. To see some other people’s visions of the sim, there’s a nice selection of photos at KoinUp.

When I think of the east end lights, muggy nights
the curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really shoulda been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And It’s One More Beer and I don’t hear you ANYMORE
We’ve all gone crazy lately
My friends have been rolling ’round the basement floor
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You’re a Butterfly
And Butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
I’m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
I’m four o-clock in the morning dammit
listen to me good……..
I’m a butterfly. …….

Casa del Shai Tye-Die Bikini
When two people have a personality conflict that seems intractable, we say, “Like oil and water, they don’t mix.” That expression in one form or another is so old we don’t know its origins. However, its essential truth has become painfully obvious over the last two months since the Gulf spill began. While one attempt after another fails, scientists and DIY inventors have made a cottage industry of uploading ideas to youtube to help the clean up. From clever to whimsical to crazy, those ideas are profoundly human. People are eager to do something because that’s what humans do. For good or ill, it’s part of what makes us human.
Casa del Shai Capricciosa Dress
Not all of us can, or should, take a boat out on the Gulf and try to rescue birds and sea turtles. Still we want to do something. One thing we can do is help support cleanup efforts by established conservationist organizations with experience in ecological restoration. Sadly, it’s been more difficult than usual to get support for those efforts because this disaster is man-made and has a villain who is expected to pay for the clean-up – assuming they don’t decide to file for bankruptcy reorganization. The idea that BP will pay for it all ignores that these groups are not waiting around for BP’s permission to begin wildlife rescue. They are already doing the work.
Prelude’s clothing is always elegant and feminine. For this Tristana, dress you can add glamorous and dramatic to the list of adjectives.
