Karaoke...

"Things have been so crazy and hectic
I should've gotten back by now
But you know how much I wanted to make it
It's probably better anyhow
So if you gotta go
If there's anything I should know
If the spotlight makes you nervous...
If you're lookin' for a purpose...
You put the tea in the kettle and light it
Put your hand on the metal and feel it
But do you even feel it anymore?
I remember when you thought I was jokin'
Now I'm off singin' karaoke
Further than I've ever been...
So if you gotta go
If there's any way I can help...
I was only tryin' to get ahead
I was only tryin' to get ahead
But the spotlight makes you nervous..."

Goodies...

"You may look at me
And think that I'm
Just a young girl
But I'm NOT
Just a young girl
Baby this is what I'm lookin' for:
A sexy, independent, down to spend it type
That's gettin' his dough
I'm not being too dramatic
That's the way I gotta have it...
I bet you want the goodies
Bet you thought about it
Got you all hot and bothered
Mad cause I talk around it
If you're lookin' for the goodies
Keep on lookin'
Cause they stay in the jar..."



The SASHA Bodysuit in Emerald by [ORTA]

So many goodies...so little time. I've been really digging [ORTA] since I discovered the brand last summer. It's a small shop with only a few dresses and bags, but everything is beautifully made and distinctive. The latest releases are no exception; yesterday they dropped a few pieces that were orignially intended for the [LeLutka] label but didn't get their chance to shine. The SASHA bodysuits come in bold, jewel colorblocked tones and are some of the best I've seen in awhile. They can be worn in bodysuit form like the photo above, or as a sexy jumpsuit as I'm wearing it below. I'm rocking it with the newest belt from .:MALT:. called the "CINCH". Boasting metal change, resizing, and more options; this belt is a WARDROBE STAPLE for any fashionista that likes to wear highwaisted trousers and/or pencil skirts...

 The hair is from Magika and as per usual, it doesn't disappoint. I'm not normally much of a ponytail kinda girl, but this excessively long and luxurious one is REMARKABLE. The necklace, earrings and ring are all from Morantique, a brand that captured my heart from day one with it's exquisitely crafted furniture and home decor. The jewelry is equally magnificent. Tons of statement pieces and head-turning jewelry; the good stuff that makes me swoon. And lastly, I fell in love with this headpiece from {GASQHE}sometime ago. While totally high-fashion, there's an air of playfullness to it that I adore. It reminds me of bunny ears for some reason, and that got me thinking about the beginning of my Second Life at Playboy. That was more than three years ago...damn I've come A LONG WAY. So I suppose this is my deconstructed, high-fashion, 2011 bunny look. Same old SaV...just ULTRA...

She's Strange...

"She's the kind of person
Everybody knows
She reeks distinction
From head to toe
She's my Twilight Zone
My Al Capone
She's my Rolling Stones
And my Ava Perone...
She's strange
And I like it
She's strange
Just the way she is
Strange
Walking down the avenue
She's strange
Always doing something new..."

You Be Killin' Em...

"Handbag on her arm
Cost four three bills
And she aint' gotta beg
Borrow or steal
Often imitated
Never duplicated
They say she a dime
I say she underrated
I just met her
So the next solution
Dead my old chick
Execution...
You what's up girl
Aint' gotta ask it
I dead em all now
I buy the caskets
They should arrest you
Or whoever dressed you
Aint' gon' stress you
But imma let you know
Girl you be killin' em..."

For Real...

"I can't smile
Can't sleep like a child
Can't feel safe in this wide world without you
I can't go
Can't disturb this flow
Can't begin to know what I would do
I can't see
Can't find strength to be
Rather not be me without you
I can't deal
I can't even feel
Without you: I'm not real...
I can live
I can love
I can be better with you
For real..."

                      

Don't you just LOVE that feeling you get when you fall instantly in lust with a new piece? That's precisely what happened for me in regards to this haori by Tomo Wachter. A haori is a garment traditionally worn to protect a kimono, and I've worn them as jackets pretty much all of my life. My Mom would always bring back haori's, kimono's, and happy coats when she'd travel to Asia, and I have an affinity for them all. This particular one is impecabbly constructed, beautifully textured, REALISTIC PERFECTION; and I knew I had to have it the moment it rezzed. It's available in 3 other prints, but this muted shade really was the standout for me. Tomoto is full of Asian-inspired garments, and is definitely worth the teleport if you dig killer multi-cultural pieces as much as I do. This is one of those looks that really feels like me; elements of TRADITIONAL fused with a few items a little less mainstream...

Baby Please Don't Go...

"Let's run away
From these lights
Back to yesterday
Save tonight
I feel the sun creepin' up
Like tick tock
I'm tryin' to keep you in my head
But if not
We'll just keep runnin' from tomorrow
With our lips locked
Yeah you got me beggin' beggin'
Baby please don't go...
If I wake up tomorrow
Will you still be here?
I don't know...
If you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gon' find you
Baby please don't go...
I stay runnin'
From tomorrow..."

On And On...

"Peace and blessings manifest
With every lesson learned
If your knowledge were your wealth
Then it would be well earned,
If we were made in HIS image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God but
They fear us just the same...
Oh on and on, and on and on
My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
Ooh on and on, and on and on
All night til the break of dawn..."

Poison...

"If I were you
I'd take PRECAUTION...
Before I step to meet a fly girl
Cause in some portions...
You'll think she's the best thing in the world
She's so fly...
She'll drive you right out of your mind
Steal your heart
When you're blind
Beware: She's schemin'
She'll make you think you're dreamin'
You'll fall in love
And you'll be screamin' DEMON..."

Bulletproof...

"Been there done that messed around
I'm havin' fun don't put me down
I'll NEVER let you sweep me off my feet...
I won't let you in again
The messages I've tried to send
My information's just not goin' in...
Burning bridges shore to shore
I break away for somethin' more
I'm not turned onto love until it's cheap...
Been there done that messed around
I'm havin' fun don't put me down
I'll NEVER let you sweep me off my feet...
This time baby, I'll be: BULLETPROOF
This time baby, I'll be: BULLETPROOF..."

                      
DID YOU MISS ME LIKE I MISSED YA'LL? It's been a couple of weeks since my last post and damn it feels GOOD to be HOME. I hope everyone's 2011 has started out on point, and that this year brings us all the happiness we each deserve. I went on vacation to Maui and let me tell you, I left so inspired. I can honestly say that I fell in love with myself again over this holiday season. In more ways than one I've been reminded of how powerful, intelligent and capable I am. This is the year that I TAKE NO PRISONERS. I feel totally in control of my destiny, and I am convinced that I can accomplish all the goals I set for myself and then some. But I don't want to be alone in these recent revelations, I want YOU to be on board with this too. If you're reading this right now, I want you to know that THIS IS YOUR YEAR. No more putting your dreams on the back burner, NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION. The only person stopping you from TRYING is YOU. It's GRIND TIME LADIES.
"This time year baby WE'LL be...BULLETPROOF..."
You gotta love RunoRuno...for as long as I can remember Jojo has been offering interesting and superior quality pieces in her small shop. It's obvious that she's designing in Second Life because she loves fashion; her unbelievably low prices make it clear that she's not trying to get rich. This bikini is available on XStreets right now for only $50L...I'm planning on wearing this beautifully textured top underneath a blazer or jacket in the future...

Coat: Black Fur Coat by LaRosa
The coat is another gift from my husband Tairo(TY handsome=)...And like I told him last night, fur in SL is either a hit or miss with me, and THIS COAT IS A HIT. Totally sculpted, it's made by the good folks over at LaRosa, a brand that I've been familiar with in regards to their reselling vendors scattered all around the grid. I must admit I never paid them much attention, but thanks to Tai and this coat-I definitely will be giving them another look...
Thank you to everybody that has left comments, sent emails, and dropped gifts to me over the holiday season. I appreciate each and every one of you, and I can't wait to see what this year has in store for all of us.

Ladies: ALWAYS stay MATERIAL,
<3, SaV.
