“Lost in Time, and lost in Space… and Meaning.”

“And crawling on the planet’s face,
some insects called the human race.
Lost in time, and lost in space.
And meaning.”

[- Richard O’Brien, The Rocky Horror Show -]

Again I am coming to you with a wonderful memory of an amazing evening. A few days ago my sweet sister Vivien offered me to be part of one of her amazing, creative art shots. She asked me if I would have the new doll modifications from Salt & Pepper – certainly I do! She had built a wonderful set and had planned the shot for 5 people. It looked amazing and on her Flickr (HERE) you can see her amazing artwork of that picture. I tried to grab a shot too but it was one of those days where nothing wanted to razz and the more people you have the harder it goes. So I asked her if she would be ok with having  another shoot when she was done with just us 2 and lightly different poses. She said yes and did let me use the set she built too – Thank you for that Sis ♥♥♥.

It is so much fun to just do what you feel not running after deadlines only and it always feels like a little holiday for me when we work on some pictures together.

The whole theme looked very fragile and sweet and that is really easy for me as I am usually the dark and deep color lover, but it felt like a cool challenge and something new 😉

Thank you for another wonderful evening and a great time Sis ♥♥♥. If you want to know about her style.. just poke her 😉

Above you can see the try of my version… new but interesting, I hope you like it nevertheless!

Tired…

So you know that feeling if you just cannot get up and could sleep the whole day… I have no clue what that is but since a few days, as soon as I wake ip, I am already tired again and could fall asleep right away 🙁

I mean I have holidays and I tried that for 2 days now, to just sleep when I feel tired, but that seems not to be the right way either, as I get headaches and my back starts hurting as I am not used to lay or sit that much usually. My mind does not seem to like that as well as I feel weird and unproductive. I need to think about something different I guess…

But that gave me the idea of the “Tired Bee” for my pictures – even if it is a futuristic one 😉

Anyway… today I come to you with some news fro A&Y released at the Midnight Order event – you still have 2 days to ge there and see all the goodies and I promise it is really worth it 😉

The amazing “Cybergothic Corset” made by A&Y comes for Maitreya and Legacy body sizes. It does have a huge HUD where you can customize all kind of different parts of the corset. Th coast has a perfect length to fit pants or any other bottom part to it – I did use the “Phex” pants as well made by A&Y as I love when the fabric, colors and materials go together perfectly.

It is always hard to find really cool Cyber hair but at A&Y you get a very good selection. The new “Orbital Babe” hairstyle is just one example of the awesome and creative ideas. It dies come with the same kind of huge HUD as A&Y does provide it for all their designs. Just go there and take a look for yourself, I promise you you won’t be disappointed 😉

The arms and legs were designed by {PSYCHO:Byts}, one my favorite stores for the unusual and freaky stuff. I love her imagination and how she turns them into her creations. The limbs come with color HUDs too and you can recolor many different parts.

If you are looking for extravagant makeup and eyeshadows you should take a look at Rubedo. She creates wonderful color packs in all kind of shades. Usually she does release her designs for BoM and LeL. EvoX BoM in 2 different packs. Today I chose the “haven” style. What is cool with that pack, Foxy included a full version and a gentle one. The gentle one is a little bit more subtile (lighter) than then full, but both have beautiful colors with them.

I hope you had fun with my little “Tired Bee” and I will hurry to showcase you a little more from the Midnight Order event soon, so that you can grab all the stuff before the event ends 😉

Betrayed…

If you think you know people…

It is “amazing” how after all these years you still experience betrayal. You think you saw so much already, you already trust way less people than you used to and still some make it to disappoint and betray you.

This is for all of those – Karma will get you.

TUNES

You remember all their faultsAnd you don’t trust in any word they sayAnd you’re still waiting for the day whenYou can make them payAnd your blood is boiling and your head is explodingThe hopes are dying while the sky is about to fall

It’s time to open your eyes to knowYou’ve been used and betrayedIt’s time for you to have another go,Don’t leave it too lateAnd the sun is shining and you keep on fightingYou can be proud of yourself just never give in

Show them your middle fingerYou got to keep on going,Keep on screamingShow them your middle fingerYou got to keep on breathing,Don’t stop believing

Venomous Poison

TUNES

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You’re poison
I don’t want to break these chains
