Song to the Siren

I don't get to delve into my artistic side very often with my blogging, but when I get the chance to I am truly in heaven!  I know that gowns may not be the standard for attire on SL but there are many people who have occasion to wear them and I have fallen in love with many of the amazing creations designed for many of the competitions.  Virtual Diva has grown incredibly over the last year since I have been blogging for her and the newest release for The Instruments is truly a stunning design.  I hope you enjoy your moment with the Siren, but be careful and don't stay and listen to her song too long...rumor has it she has been known to lure unsuspecting possible lovers to their death!

Song to the Siren

Tim Buckley

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks

For you sing
'Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow
Oh, my heart, oh, my heart
Shies from the sorrow'

I am as puzzled as the oyster
I am as troubled at the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing
'Swim to me, swim to me
Let me enfold you
Oh, my heart, oh, my heart
Is waiting to hold you

Paint it Black

Paint it Black - Morfu - Chillout

While I was out and about looking for a locale for my photos today, I happened to be in a discussion with a friend about music for a post.  And after giving her a suggestion, suddenly this song started weaving it's way through my head so I just had to share it with you, plus it happens to be a perfect track to accompany this ensemble, so CLICK IT!!!!  Livid releases new collections for each season and once again you will not be disappointed!  The "Blasphemy" collection features Hoodies and Skirts in 3 different textures and styles, so you are sure to find one to match your style.  As always, the accessories are perfectly matched to the outfit so you can never go wrong.  To make for easy fit and styling each accessory can be resized upon touch, so don't be afraid of the boots, as they are easy to size as well.  If you haven't heard, the Biker's Choice Fair started up yesterday and Catwa has several exclusive hairs for the event, including this fantastic, modern take on the mohawk.

Skirt - Livid - Blasphemy

Boots - Livid - Blasphemy

The "Rockstar" hair is one of Catwa's newest releases to feature a version that works with avatar physics lending an even more real feel to our avatars.  This hair always comes with different styles for you to choose from including a shaved side lending to an even more grungy and even feel to this hair.  Also, in case you missed the news, Catwa has a special gift hair hidden in different stores throughout the event, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled!  As I was wandering around I suddenly was being chased by zombies and I wondered if the eyes change first when you are bitten......  I guess we have the answer.  That little nip on the ankle must have been a bit more serious than I thought.....

She's So Fancy!

All you urban fashionistas I know have been by Vogue's New Year New Trends event already and have picked up a few things, but if you haven't or just in case you missed these exclusives from Deceitful Innocence, Glo and Zhora Designs I will make sure you have a few more reasons to head on over to Vogue's newest event! 

Deceitful Innocence delivers perfectly again for their name with this gorgeous Top, Skirt and Heels ensemble, appropriately named "Lady in Latex."  The skirt is very well made with a wonderful attention to detail.  I love the daring drape on this tank which has a wonderful chain halter and the color combinations.  The pattern is fresh and the colors are very indicative of the Spring season that is just around the corner!  I paired it up with the Enchanted Collection from Glo in Blue, also an exclusive for the event.

Zhora Designs brings a very sexy and sultry outfit to Vogue's New Year New Trends with the "Clelia" outfit.  The ensemble includes System layers for upper and lower, Bracelets, Collar, Shoes and Stockings along with appliers for Slink Physique, TMP, Brazilia Doll, Belleza, Omega, BANNED, Lena, Tango, BOOTY, and EVE.  I have not settled down and bought myself a mesh body yet, so I am wearing the system layers with the Slink stocking applier.  If curious about how to give yourself an actual shape without investing in a mesh body, then drop a notecard to JadedPanther Resident inworld, and I will give a few pointers.  I do not share my shape, as it has taken me literally a year to be happy with it but I can give suggestions on how to be slim and sleek, and yet still have those lovely curves!  I love the elegance of the collar and bracelets combined with the sexiness of the bodysuit.  Both outfits pictured above, AWEAR's hair and the jewelry are only available at Vogue's 2015 New Year New Trends event until February 4th.  Hurry on over and make sure to get a head start on the New Year with fantastic designs from some of the grids most fashion forward designers!

Have a wonderfully wicked night and remember to always stay true to your style and make todays fashion trends work for you!
