Whataya Want From Me...

"Hey...slow it down
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Yeah...I'm afraid
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
There might have been a time
When I would let you slip away
I wouldn't even try but
I think you could save my life
Just don't give up
I'm workin' it out
Please don't give in
I won't let you down
He messed me up
Need a second to breathe
Just keep comin' around...hey
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me...
It's plain to see
That baby you're BEAUTIFUL
And there's nothing wrong with you
Or with me...I'M A FREAK
But thanks for loving me
You're doing it perfectly..."

I've always loved this song; I first heard it sung by Pink, then of course Adam Lambert made it famous. But this version is so raw and stripped down without the instrumentation, and I think that makes it even more beautiful...

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..."

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...)

Criminal...

"I've been a bad, bad girl...
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can...
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins
I've come to you cause I need guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin...
What I need is a good defense
Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed to the one I sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love...
Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done..."

Anythang...

"You aint the only one who got problems
You aint the only one who knows pain
Get up off yo' ass and just solve them
You still got a chance to try to change
Try the sh*t again...
Really aint no need for self pity
Cryin' when there's no one else around
Life I know sometimes can get sh*tty
Even sh*ttier when sleepin' on the ground
No need to complain...
Anything is plenty man
And is better than nan'
Nothin at all
Anything is plenty man..."

Back To December...

"So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you
Saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December all the time...
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
Wishing I'd realized what I had
When you were mine,
I go back to December
Turn around and change my own mind,
I go back to December all the time...

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...

"Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls, they wanna have fun...
Oh girls just wanna have fun
That's all they really want..."

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper

In matters of personal style, everyone is different. As for me-the way I know I love a piece, is if I find myself not wanting to take it off. And that's what has occurred with this structurely PERFECT dress by Maylee Oh of "The Secret Store." I don't want to take it off my body. The drape of the fabric, the slight movement and flow of it when I walk; this is sculpt work done RIGHT. Equipped with resizer scripts in every prim, it was easy to fit and definitely a pleasure to find. Of course you know I styled it up, but it's a strong enough piece to make a statement on its own...

 Maylee's store did something that alot of brands don't do for me: it made me SMILE. It isn't packed full of items, which to me indicates a designer who puts a little bit of her heart and soul into her work. I'm not knocking labels that mass produce pieces, but to me-quality always defeats quantity. Maylee's work is whimsical and FUN. Bright colors, bows, and vivid prints are included in everything that she produces. I'm showing you her "Scottish Dahlia" dress today, but you can count on seeing more in the future. Oh and by the way, she's just opened a satellite store in the EUPHORIA shopping complex; visit "The Secret Store" @ EUPHORIA HERE...

Fancy...

"...Intelligent too ooh you're my sweetheart
I've always liked my women book AND street smart
As long as they got a little class like half days
And the confidence to overlook my past ways
Time heals all and heels hurt to walk in
But they go with the clutch that you carry your lipgloss in
And look I really think nobody does it better
I love the way that you put it together..."

Flight School...

" Just forget everything that you know
Let's take it all the way back to hello
They say you livin' like you died before
I got a place that only I can go...

Let me take you to flight school
Above all the lights
You've never been so high kiss the ground goodbye
And they say damn baby how did you get that fly?

Stairway To Heaven...

"There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven...
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With her words she can get what she came for..."

'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin

Why Zeppelin? Because my Papa LOVES that song and he would sing it to my sister and I when we were little. Why a blog? Because it's time. Why the title 'Material Girl'? Because of the obvious; I LOVE fashion, shopping, styling, modeling, and witnessing some of the most dynamic minds in the world converging in this place we call Second Life. Designers don't get their just due. There's something magical about starting with absolutely nothing and ending up with show-stopping garments. Exquisite jewelry and accessories. Stunning skins, shapes and hair. Breathtaking shoes and bags. Good GOD don't get me started on shoes and bags. And it is my belief that when we know better we do better. When women in SL take care and pride in their avatars, when we elevate our style in-world, we find ourselves doing the same in our everyday REAL lives. When we look our best we FEEL our best. We're better academically and professionally. We're better to our family and friends. To our communities. In my studies I've learned the term MATERIAL to mean SIGNIFIGANT and SUBSTANTIAL; material means that a factor greatly influences the merits of a case or contract. And in my world, fashion and style are VERY MATERIAL...
