However Do You Want Me...

"Steady are you ready?
What's goin' on?
Steady are you ready?
ARE you ready?
What's goin' on?
What's goin' on?
Cold fresh air
Feel the melody
That's in the air...
I'm down
Take a look around
What's goin' down?
However do you want me?
However do you need me...?
I live at
The top of the block
There's no more room
For anything more
I state my name
My name to fame
Look...
It's the writing on the wall...
How-ever do you want ME...?

Vibe..."Back To Life" (However Do You Want Me) by Soul II Soul...I have always been madly in love with this version from the movie Belly; there's something about it that makes my heart beat a little faster every time I hear it. The lyrics are relatively simple, but the pregnant pauses and the power behind their voices grabs your attention and holds it hostage. And when that beat drops towards the end, well, it's a WRAP...

Ladies: ALWAYS stay MATERIAL,

<3, SaV.

  Note: I NEVER edit garments in post-processing...what you see is ALWAYS what you will get...

You...

"Can I get a taste of YOU?
Thirsty for everything you DO...
Feels like I'm missin' what you got inside
You could be the shining light in my life
This vibe has got me
Ready to attack-ttack-ttack YOU
You want it
Quit lyin
Come try it
You can't fight it
You want it
Quit lying
Come try it
You can't fight it
YOU...
Lay your body next to mine
And you'll have no regrets
It's always gonna rain tonight
A storm that's so intense
I wanna get you inside
And make sure that you're alright
And we can do it ALL night
Yeah we can do it ALL night...
You want it
Quit lyin
Come try it
You can't fight it..."

Vibe..."You" by Creep featuring Nina Sky...I first heard this song back in the Spring during a runway show in Boston, and I've fallen in love with it all over again after seeing the visual. It's hauntingly beautiful and minimalistic-a perfect match for the INSANE production of Creep. This is definitely a BANGER...

Lonely Star...

"It seems like pain and regret
Are your best friends...
Cause everything you do
Leads to them...
But baby I could be
Your best friend...
And baby I could f*ck you right...
Baby you could have it ALL
Baby you could have it ALL...
Baby you could have
The cars
The clothes
The jewels
The sex
The house...
Baby you could be a STAR..."

I Can't Stand The Rain...

"I can't stand the rain
Against my window...
Bringin' back sweet memories
Hey window pane
Do you remember...
How sweet it used to be?
When we was together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
It's just one sound
That I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringin' back sweet memories...
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Cause he's not here with me..."

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...

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.

  Note: I NEVER edit garments in post-processing...what you see is ALWAYS what you will get...

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..."
