We All Try...

"I believe in Jehovah Jireh
I believe there's heaven...I believe in war
I believe a woman's temple
Gives her the right to choose...but baby don't abort
I believe that marriage ISN'T...
Between a man and woman
But between love and love
I believe you when you say that
You've lost all faith
But you MUST believe in SOMETHING
SOMETHING...SOMETHING...
You gotta believe in SOMETHING...SOMETHING...
I still believe in man
A wise one asked me why?
I don't believe we're wicked
I know that we sin
but I DO believe we try..."

The Bay...

"You may have the body
 But do you have the soul?
Let's make this happen
Let's MAKE this happen
And those endless beaches
That go and on
It's magical...
But I'd sooner get out
Remember where went last year?
You said everything about it
Moved on your career
And you said if you want to go
I'll take you back one day...
Cause this isn't Paris
And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day
It feels SO good...
In the BAY...

Wicked Games...

"I left my girl back home
I don't love her no more
And she'll never fu*kin' know that
These fu*kin' eyes that I'm starin' at
Let me see that a*s
Look at all this cash
And I emptied out my cards too
Now we're fu*kin' leanin' on that
Bring your love baby I can bring my shame
Bring the drugs baby I can bring my pain...
I got my heart right here...I got my scars right here
Bring the cups baby I can bring the drank
Bring your body baby I can bring you FAME...
And that's my muthafu*kin words too...
Just let me muthafu*kin love you...
Listen ma I'll give you all I got
Get me offa this
I need confidence in myself...
Yeah yeah yeah ohhh yeah ohhh
Listen ma I'll give you all of me
Give me all of it
I need all of it to myself...

So tell me you love me
Only for tonight...
Only for tonight...
Even though you don't love me..."

Sleepwalking...

"Three months is a long time
 If you don't like it where you are...
Three months is forever
When the sun don't shine at all...
You might be alive or you just
Breathe to pass the time...
But you're so lucky
So lucky to have it all...
Someday you gonna realize
You've been sleepwalkin' through it all
You've been sleepwalkin'...
To get back home...
Someday you gonna realize
You've been sleepwalkin' through it all
You've been sleepwalkin' through it all
To get back home..."

Wild Heart...

"I tried to control it
Tried to maintain it
Tried to contain it...  
But I failed terribly
And I don't know what to do...
I tried to hold back
And accept the fact we aint perfect...
But what we got goin' on
Might leave us both with bruises...
Neither one of us
Wanted either one to say goodbye...
But both of us keep hittin'
Keep on screamin' and we don't know why
WE'RE IN LOVE...
DAMN...this wild heart of mine
It's gon' get me in trouble...
DAMN...this wild heart of mine
It's gon' get me in trouble...
I'm out so I folded
Bad hand so I'm throwin' it all in..."

Vibe..."Wild Heart" by Sabi...My sisters and I have been into Sabi for awhile now, her work is really special...but when I saw the promo for K&K Take NY I was inspired...

I don't publish 'Material Girl' for acknowledgement, acceptance, OR accolades. I document and showcase my personal style because I EAT, BREATHE, AND SLEEP FASHION. I love it more than words can adequately express, and I hope that shines through everytime I post a new entry. One year has flown by quicker than I ever imagined, and thanks to the STELLAR content creators here in SL, I have not ONCE fallen victim to 'bloggers block.' To ALL the designers who have SELFLESSLY offered me their work, I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. To Kaysha and Meghindo, designers of OSAKKI & Meghindo's respectively: THANK YOU for being the FIRST designers to ask me to blog your labors of LOVE. To all my friends and family who have put up with me on shopping trips, styling and shape sessions, fashion shows and more: I THANK YOU for being patient and remaining in my corner. To my husband Tairo, who in all reality is the ONLY person who TRULY understands me: THANK YOU baby for loving me UNCONDITIONALLY. And for the ladies that tune in to check out my randomness and latest obsessions: THANK YOU for riding with me on this journey and giving me the  opportunity to be a part of ALL of your Second Lives. It is ALWAYS my goal that what we experience and create HERE will make our FIRST lives even greater. You are ALL "MATERIAL" to me...

Ladies: ALWAYS stay MATERIAL,

<3, SaV.

Countdown...

"Ohhh killing me softly
And I'm still falling
STILL the one I need
I will always be with YOU...
Ohhh you got me open
Don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me you outta your mind...
My baby is a
TEN
We dressin' to the
NINE
He picked me up we
EIGHT
Make me feel so lucky
SEVEN
He kiss me in his
SIX
We be makin' love in
FIVE
Still the one I do this
FOUR
I'm tryin' to make us
THREE
From this
TWO
He's still the
ONE...
There's ups and downs in this LOVE
Got A LOT to learn in this LOVE
Through the good and the bad still got LOVE
Dedicated to the one I LOVE..."

Love Locked Down...

"I'm not lovin' you
Way I wanted to
What I had to do
Had to run from you
I'm in love with you
But the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me
All the way home...
So you never know
Never never know
Never know enough
Til' it's over love
Til' we lose control
SYSTEM OVERLOAD
Screamin' no no no n-no...
I'm not lovin' you
The way I wanted to
See I wanna move
But can't escape from you
So I keep it low
Keep a secret code
So everybody else
Don't have to know...
So keep your love locked DOWN
Your love locked down
Keepin' your love locked DOWN
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked DOWN
Your love locked DOWN
Now keep your love locked DOWN
YOU lose..."

Islands...

"I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spent my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here...I saw
Something I couldn't overlook
I am yours now...
So now I don't EVER have to leave
I've been found now...
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done...
That bridge is on fire
Back to where I've been...
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be?
If this were to go under
That's a risk I'd take...
I'm froze by desire
This is the choice I make..."


           

Majority of the time, it's the big established brands that get the most shine on fashion blogs. It can be difficult for new designers to grab attention amongst the massive sea of fashion houses here in Second Life. So it's with much esteem that I introduce to some and present to others, the work of [BarCode]; sexy, fashion forward, on-trend jewelry for MODERN WOMEN that love to stand out. Bold feathers, metals, colors and prints adorn oversized earrings, watches and headpieces. This is DEFINITELY a dynamic, new brand worth checking out, one that I'm sure we'll all be seeing EVERYWHERE very soon. If you're as big a fan of STATEMENT jewelry as I am, it would be who of you to give them a chance...

Thank you Nez for your generosity and for showing the blog LOVE. I will ALWAYS champion for you guys and your brand...
