Shake It Out...

"Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive
Your darkest moments
I can see no way
I can see no way...
And all of the ghouls
Come out to play
And every demon
Wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep
Some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn...
And I've been a fool
and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way
I can see no way...
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is questioned
such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury
that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn 
Shake it out shake it out
Shake it out shake it out
Ooh woaaah
Shake it out shake it out
Shake it out shake it out
Ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance
With a devil on your back
So shake it out...

Vibe..."Shake It Out" by Florence And The Machine...

No contest-one of my FAVORITE groups on the planet; I fell instantly in love with Florence Welch's voice the first moment I heard it years ago...I believe her to be our generation's "Janis Joplin." And much like F.A.T.M, I was instantly love sick over Rolland's (Vanguard) label. It's rare that someone gives us the HIGHEST of high fashion, but in a very wearable, accessible way. Rolland has done just that and I know there are even more amazing things to come. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and the blog this year, and to anyone who has taken time out of their busy lives to type my web address into their browser. I am preparing to go on a much needed vacation, and that includes a bit of a vacation from Second Life and blogging as well. But that's not to say that I won't find a moment during a late night or early morning to do a quick post.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, regardless of who or what you believe in.

Be safe, and I'll see you all next year...<3, SaV.

Ladies: ALWAYS stay MATERIAL,

Cameras...

"How you mean? How you mean?
What you know about the team?
Man these nig*as need to stop it
They be crowdin' up the scene
Babygirl you need to stop it
All that pride and self-esteem
Got you angry bout' this girl I'm with
In all the magazines
Baby she look like a star
But only on camera
Only on camera
Only on camera
It look like we in love
But only on camera
Only on camera
Only on camera
Don't listen to the lies
I swear they ALL lies
You know I could be your
Knight in shining Armor-All tires
Tryin' to tell you I'm the one
Come and holla at me
Before I'm on the next thing
YMCMB S-A-V..."

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.

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..."

In The Air Tonight...

"Well I remember....
I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
It's the first time
The last time we ever met...
But I know the reason why 
You keep your silence up
No you don't fool me...
The hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me...
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh Lord...
But I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Oh Lord...
I can feel it in the air tonight Oh Lord
Oh Lord...
But I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Oh Lord..."

(I've had this song trapped in my head for weeks now, and when I finally saw the video for it I was inspired to style a couple of super casual street looks...I like the message of the song, that being you don't have to have a ton of money to look like you do, especially in SL. The only thing that is a bit of a splurge are my boots, but hey-it's always been instilled in me that when a lady DOES splurge, it should ALWAYS begin with the shoes...)

In For The Kill...

"We can fight out desires
But when we start making FIRES...
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not...
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without LUST...
Two hearts with accurate devotions
But what are feelings without EMOTIONS...
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand..."

Aint No Sunshine When She's Gone...

"Aint' no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Aint' no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away...
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Aint' no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just aint' no home
Anytime she goes away
I know...Yeah
I gotta leave that girl alone
Cause aint' no sunshine when she's gone..."

Bad Reputation...

"I don't give a damn bout' my reputation
You're livin' in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'M gonna do
And I don't give a damn bout' my bad reputation
Oh no...not ME...
And I don't give a damn bout' my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun
And I don't have to please no one
And I don't give a damn bout' my bad reputation
Oh no...not ME...oh no...not ME
I don't give a damn about my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if you think I'm strange
I AINT' GONNA CHANGE..."

                        

It's hard for me to fathom that within six months of publishing "Material Girl", I've reached 20,000 visitors to my page. I know I'm all over the place; I'm classic American sportswear one day, I'm avant garde the next. But a lot of you are cool with that, and you come here expecting me to blog only what I love and believe in-no matter what ANYBODY else is doing. Words can't adequately express how thankful I am for your support and love. So while we're on the subject of "support and love," I have to thank my girl Giz Seorn of GizzA Creation's for being so sweet and generous to me and the blog. She passed me this ensemble this morning, and it literally took my breath away. "Shalwar" is edgy and sexy, and will be equally as strong pieced apart as collective. Her textures are ALWAYS perfect, and her design aesthetic isn't quite like anybody else's right now. Her talent was recognized over the weekend by BOSL; she was named Best New Fashion Designer, and I couldn't agree with that distinction more...
