Happy Birthday Truth, Or SHOULD I SAY CHARLIE

1 Reply

So then, today is Truth Hawk’s birthday. We’re all wishing him a Happy Birthday as good friends should but, I had a eureka moment earlier that I think I’m going to have to share.

You see, Truth and I aren’t terribly close but I do like him. As a blogger, I can honestly say he’s the dealer of one of my drugs of choice, hair. Hair baby hair mama, everywhere daddy daddy….

But, I realized something today. Today is Truth’s birthday. Today is Charlie Sheen’s birthday. Truth lives in LA. Charlie Sheen lives in LA. I NEVER SEE THEM TOGETHER. And, obviously Charlie Sheen could not worry about losing that gig on 2 and a Half Men since he OBVIOUSLY HAD HIS SL TRUTH HAIR MONEY TO FALL BACK ON. Oh yes, I’m on to you MISTER HAWKS. I HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOU RUSE.

I’m not saying, I’m JUST SAYING.

🙂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUTH !!!! Continue reading →

Paperwork

Any regular reader of It’s Only Fashion knows that I am in love with playing with light and projectors in Second Life. I have also adopted the amazing PhotoTools skins from William Weaver that make the controls for Windlight, Depth of Shadow and other photo interfaces so much more accessible. He’s launched a new web site to share photo resources and tutorials all in one spot. If you’re serious about Second Life photographer, you should check out Paperwork Shows.

William Weaver has also made a few builds using projectors to create fabulous light effects. With extraordinary generosity, he has put four of those builds on Marketplace for free. This set was shot in his Edward Hopper build. They use a lot of prims, but they are placed with a rez box, so you can simply derez them when you are done.

Black and White Challenge

Thanks to Maci Restless and IOF’s own Hybie, there is a fun new blogger challenge that I hope gets lots of bloggers involved. While the rules allow for a simply desaturating the colors, I decided to go full black and white and began my challenge by focusing on black and white in my outfit and setting. The dress is one of six options from DCNY for the My Attic Shaken, Not Stirred discount room at The Deck. I chose the black and white Gin dress and clutch. The dress comes with your choice of the traditional crotch flap or a mesh prim skirt, so Viewer 2 or 3 users will be happy. The clutch comes with a relaxed or bent elbow pose for each hand – four options so you don’t have to do a lot of editing to get what you want.

I shot the pictures in the white on white Escher prop from Bent! Although it was created for Vintage Fair, it should be in the store now that the fair is over. It’s a fun pose with 22 poses in the menu and very easy to edit. It’s also modifiable, so you can tint it – though I think it gets its visual power from being white on white and the interplay of that white with the shadows.

Fanning the Flames

IrEn’s gorgeous baroque corset outfit for Collabor88 is designed to inspire flames of passion. You can listen to Fanning the Flames with Maria Muldaur here.

“There’s smoke in the distance
And there’s fire up ahead.
There’s trouble brewing.
There’s danger,” he said.

And like an unlucky omen
Every word turned out true
And now we’re fanning the flames of passion
And burning up, ooh burning up.

I was inspired to dig out my old fans from Mika. The in-world Mika store is closed, but you can find it on Marketplace.

The first time I saw you
When I first laid eyes on you.
It was like time bomb starting ticking, Darling.
Detonation overdue.

And when our love’s just smoldering ashes
and when they have those ashes hauled
They’re gonna say we were fanning the flames of passion
and burning up, ooh burning up.

Because You Gotta Have Faith

Leave a reply

Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body.
I know not everybody, has got a body like you.
But I gotta think twice,
Before I give my heart away, and I know all the games you play
Because I play them too.
PXL Faith_002
Well I need some time off, from that emotion
Time to pick my heart back off the floor
And when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong girl baby, but I’m showing you the door,
Because you gotta have Faith…
PXL Faith_003

George Michael’s song has been running through my head ever since PXL Creations launched it’s newest skin release, FAITH.  I opted to put Gidge in the freckled version of the skin with her favorite pinks and purples for make up and I’m pretty sure she’s as cute as a can be.

You need to go demo this skin, it’s hitting a sweet spot of youthful beauty yet mature sexy that I’m loving.

Come on, you gotta have Faith.

I’m also showing you the gorgeous new release from Trompe Loeil which is a beautiful gilded bed that comes in an array of colors of bedding to suit any decor.

“I’ve reconsidered my foolish notion, well I need someone to hold me but I’ll wait for something more. Because I’ve gotta have Faith.”

Now go shopping.

Pretty in Python

Kunglers has released a new dress called Eleanor with six texture options – from pop art stripes to sexy pyhon.  I was drawn to the python even though I generally like snakes. I was not always fond of snakes and certainly hold a snake responsible for breaking my wrist when I was in 9th grade. I was climbing in Montana and was startled by a rattler while on a cliff. Considering I fell 60 feet, I guess a broken wrist was nothing to complain about. In college, though, I worked at the Minnesota Children’s Museum and one of my duties was showing the snakes and feeding them. I developed a fondness for Squeeze – who was incredibly well-named even though he was a mouse murderer.

I’ve Got Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

Don’t you just love those briliant bursts of light peeking through the clouds, setting the world ablaze with light? I do and it’s one of the reason I really like the Barcelona Windlight setting that is one of the built-in settings on the Linden viewer. It’s late in the day, a bit cloudy and then there’s the fire of the late day sun. And nothing lights up a cloudy day like a burst of color – color as vibrant and hot as the brilliant print in Goodbye, Summer, a new release from Gizza.

Shining in Vintage

The Mesh Button Vest from Shine is all kinds of wonderful. I love its glittery goodness in every color. I had the hardest time choosing which to wear especially since the Seberg Pants from Ingenue seemed made for them and came in a rainbow of colors that could coordinate with any of the vests. Such a quandary, but I ended up choosing the Teal because who doesn’t love teal?

Tongue-Tied

This fun sundress from Ingenue for Vintage Fair had me reaching for some rockabilly and the incomparable Wanda Jackson. Some people say she is the female Elvis, but frankly, Elvis is the male Wanda Jackson.

Oh, great good golly, he thrills me so
When the apple of my eye whispers in my ear
I get real speechless and I act so shy
And all I can say is neenie-neenie-ny
I get tongue tied, ooh
I get tongue tied, yeah
I go, well ah-ah-ah…
What I’m tryin’ to say is
I love you, yeah!

I added so stockings from League which are super sexy with their garters and the hot Pinup Pumps from N-Core.

One Dark Alley You Don’t Want to Avoid

Lost Angel made a fabulous Dark Alley couple’s pose set for Vintage Fair. It’s one that evokes Sam Spade and Brigid O’Shaughnessy and love, greed, betrayal and all those other old-fashioned values of the noir detective. Happily, I was able to still use the poses and just delete the one I was not using at the time. I did think about inviting someone to come pose, but figured that would just make me crash – since that was the way my viewer was behaving.
