Can’t no preacher man save my soul

(Listen)

Hi darlings! Ohhh let’s see what I have for you today… I don’t remember exactly when it was that I discovered ISON.  I think it was back during the vintage fair when I found his leather leggings and fell in love.  Since then, I have been an avid admirer of Harry Hyx’s work & creations.  I have yet to find something at ISON that I don’t like.  At any rate, just for the hell of it, I went back to culture shock after it opened (despite having been an invited blogger and seeing a lot of the vendors before it was open) because I hadn’t had the opportunity to see ISON before it opened, and I fell in love.

So yeah, today is mostly about ISON.  I hope you all enjoy his new stuff as much as I do!  I paired it with a tattoo from one of my very best friend’s new store, Lue Moonshadow’s Brat Inc, and the newest hair from Truth!

My motor mouth runs over you, over you, over you

(Listen)

Hallooo!  So today’s look is inspired by my kiddo & my sisters who I took out for some good ol therapy shopping last night.  We hit up some fun stores, danced around, goofed off, gossiped, and had a good old fashioned family night!  All of us went to Burley and were inspired to buy some new pretties, one of the styles I am happy to display for you in this post!  The rest of it is made up of some old goodies & some newness from Sakide!  So on with the pictures & I hope you enjoy!

On the boundary, baby

(Listen)  <– I was at this exact concert last night.  This is the first time Tori Amos has ever performed this song live.  It is from her very first ever album, when she was a ‘band’ in the 80′s called Y Kant Tori Read.    I suggest listening to the original 80′s version too, it’s just as amazing!

So I know I haven’t blogged in a couple days.  To be honest, I’ve been RPing so much I haven’t really thought about it until it’s been time for bed!  And then last night, I went to the concert, and so I couldn’t do it then either.  I’m FINALLY clearing my schedule for you lovebugs who so faithfully read my blog.

I went with the oh-so-lovely Jaiden Bellic & Spooky Dezno to the Four Corners event at midnight when it opened, and just finally got around to unpacking all the little beauties I bought!  So in the blog tonight I’m blogging three different looks for you that I’ve managed to come up with with all the goodies that can be found at the event!  I hope you all enjoy them!  Pictures & deets to follow

The stars spell out your name

(Listen)

Alrighty!  So this is a pretty informational post that I have for you at the moment.

For those of you unaware, Aikea Rieko’s (The Plastik’s owner/creator) flickr updated all of us flickr stalkers with some very sad news.  You can read about it here, but basically, her hard drive had an accident and now all of her hard work that she has done over time is gone unless she can raise the money to fix the hard drive. Unfortunately, this is a very delicate and thus expensive process.  Because it is such, she has put everything in her store on sale at a very generously discounted price in the hopes that it will generate some business and help her raise the money.

Now, many of you may know that I am literally a plastik-o-holic.  It has been one of my very favorite stores for over 2 years in SL.  I think that Aikea is a magnificent and brilliant creator, and I am trying to publicize this sale as much as humanly possible.  Please, please go to Plastik and shop to your heart’s content.  For those of you who don’t feel like Plastik is for you but want to donate, I am certain that Aikea would be very grateful for any sort of donation you could make to her, also.  It would be an honest-to-god tragedy to lose a creator as talented as she.  So this blog is dedicated to her and her store.  Enjoy the looks below, demonstrated by me and my ‘wifey,’ the very lovely Stefani Somerset!  UHNZ.

I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal.

(Listen)

So I had an outfit that I wanted to blog for you lovely people, but I similarly had a lot of things I wanted to talk about and address.

Therefore, I’m going to be randomly blogging them in somewhat rapid succession (as in maybe 3-4 posts over the next 24 hours — some people TYPICALLY blog that in one day, but for me that is a lot!)

So there’s not much for me to say about this look.  I’ll let the pics do the talking, and just hope that you enjoy it!  I would like all of you to know how much I am enjoying Lara Hurley’s newest skin, Emma, which I blogged previously, but I have decided instead to change my skins often so that you can see a variety of ‘looks’ and not get bored with me wearing the same skin in every post   There are so many amazing skins out there and I want you to see them so that you can take advantage!

Anyway, I shall stop rambling and get on with it :>
