The Dark of Night

The first time I saw this dress, I stared for a good five minutes, trying to decide whether I loved it or hated it.

Many visits back to the store to buy the dresses around it, caused me the same meditation.

I finally decided, what the hell, and bought it.

NOW, I love it.

52 WOCC ... just can't do it.

Last night, I sat at my computer, searching my inventory for aqua clothing, props, whatever. I searched Marketplace. I searched fashion blogs. And I just could not find anything that I really wanted to wear... because I've been thinking so much about the shooting in Colorado this week.

I'm in Canada. In a relatively safe part of it... and shit like that doesn't happen here. I'm shaken by it. I don't understand it, and I can't... I can't ... fathom.... such horror. I'm truly blessed.

I've read and heard, a billion times, that "every behaviour makes sense"... and I do believe that, whether or not I think the REASONING is good sound reasoning. Somewhere in that sick shooter's head, there's a reason for this... whether or not he's aware of it, doesn't matter. Somewhere in his history, there was a trigger... don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying it. Hell no. He deserves to work in a salt mine for the remainder of his very very long life. I don't believe in the death penalty- I think he should live, and fucking SUFFER. Work hard. Work long hours. Toil. EARN his repentance. 

But I just could not... dress up... for today. All I wanted to do was wear black, and speak out. And so I am. 

My thoughts, prayers, wishes, and Light go to the families of the victims, and to those that are injured, in any way, from this horrific incident. My love to those who may need it so much in this terrible time. 

Stop the fucking violence.

52 WOCC - Week 29 - Persian Rose

Ahhh summer.

52 WOCC - Week 28 - Astronaut Blue

You always see me in very ... well, in dresses, or over-the-top looks. I never just wear normal clothes in SL... and I suppose that's because I wear normal clothes in RL. I'm a curvy pervy in real life, and finding amazing clothes that are my size can be difficult (that is, until I discovered Torrid.com. Seriously. Go. Shop. Feel happy.) So when I play in SL, my avatar is my paper doll, that I can dress up in all of the things I'll never be able to wear.

This week, though... I wanted something easy-going, that would reflect the summer that FINALLY got here... gods, the summer has sucked so far, but now it's SUNNY!!! Yay!

So, in honour of summer:

52 WOCC - Week 27 - Cadmium Red

Cadmium Red, on my screen, looked kind of like a hot-pink-ish-red. So I went with that. 

This look makes no logical sense at all... and yet I'm totally digging it.

52 WOCC - Week 26 - Rust

Now this one? This one I was excited about!

I thought I would take you all through a quick tour of my new house, considering it fits this week's colour.

The windlight setting is AM Radio's Nostalgia.

Special Notes: The art behind the couch is an image done by Michael Hague, from his illustrations of Alice in Wonderland.

All of the furniture shown comes from Tartessos Arts, and the house itself is from Bahia Tiki- the Casablanca House.

52WOCC - Week 25 - Unmellow Yellow

I do not like yellow.

I don't wear it in real life. I don't wear it often in SL.

Luna! Please no more yellow!

Anyway, here's some lemonade for you.

52 WOCC - Week 24 - Raspberry Glace

I was bound and determined to not spend money on the challenge this week.

Yay for accomplishing that goal!

Today I'm featuring one of the free gowns, given as a group gift to members of The White Armory's group. Every week a new gown is given away... and these are gowns that are normally 800L or more!

I also decided to play with glow and contrast in this week's photos... so bear with me while I stretch my proverbial wings in that regard!

I was going for an ethereal feeling with some of them.

 Below are the raw version and the edited version of the same photo.

52 WOCC - Week 23 - Pistachio

I went out and bought something for Pistachio Week.... and then realized I had this kickass gown from Kunglers. The other outfit was cute and all, but I've been dying for a reason to wear this one... so.... here we go!
