Harlem Blues...

"You can never tell
What's in a man's mind...
And if he's from Harlem
There's no use of even tryin'...
Just like the tide
His mind comes and goes...
Like much weather when he'll change
Nobody knows, nobody knows...
The man I love, well he just turned me down
He's a Harlem brown
Often times I wish that I were in this ground
Six feet underground...
He idolized me as no other could
No, no...
Then he surprised me
Leaving me a note sayin' he's
Gone...for good...
And since my sweetie left me, Harlem
Well it ain't the same old place
Though a thousand dandies
Smile right in my face
I think I'll mooch some homemade hooch
And go out for a lark
Just to drive off these mean old
Harlem Blues..."

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...

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...

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..."

Smells Like Teen Spirit...

"I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed...
Our little group has ALWAYS been
And always will until the end...
Hello Hello Hello How low?
Hello Hello Hello How low?
Hello Hello Hello How low?
Hello Hello Hello...
With the lights out...it's less dangerous
Here we are now...entertain us

Here we are now...entertain us
A mulatto...
An albino...
A mosquito...
My libido...YEAH..."

Fly Solo...

"I had a dream that
The whole world was staring at me
I woke up and wasn't no one there...
Wasn't no one there...
Yeah...
Same song to a different beat
It's really sometimes I feel like
I'm the only one here...
I guess nobody cares...
Hey...
But everything's good til it goes bad
And you will tell all the people
About the fun you USED to have
It hurts when it don't last
No easy way sayin' bye
So I'ma spread my wings
Head for the sky
And I...fly solo
And I...fly solo
And I...fly solo
And I...fly solo
And I..."

                           
I've never been much of a "social butterfly" here in Second Life; I admit to being slightly insulated and reclusive at times. For me to show up at a party or an event not related to something that I'm working on is growing more and more rare, therefore it's difficult for me to make new friends. So my newfound friendship with up and coming designer Fiasca Blaukempt is truly treasured, and I'm proud to act as a platform showcasing some of her new work. We all know that I'm a sucker for a lovely animal print, and her zebra "Harlem" pants immediately caught my eye; the high-waist makes my already mile-long legs appear longer. But what I feel will be the stars of her first collection are her AMAZING earrings. I love how bold, yet light and airy these are. I wore them with an evening gown yesterday to the Miss Ebony International finale show, and 4 different ladies IM'd me with compliments and inquiries. I'm teasing you with only a couple of her pieces today but I PROMISE to show you more in the near future.
 She's definitely a bright, young talent with infinite promise, and I'm proud to call her my FRIEND...

Nasty Girl...

"That's right pleased to meet you
I still won't tell you my name
Don't you believe in mystery?
Don't you wanna play my game?
I'm lookin' for a man to love me
Like I've never been loved before
I'm lookin' for a man that'll do it anywhere
Even on a limousine floor...
Cause tonight I'm livin' in a fantasy
Our own little nasty world
Tonight don't you wanna come with me?
Do you think I'm a nasty girl?
Cause tonight I'm livin' in a fantasy
Our own little nasty world
Tonight don't you wanna come with me?
Do you think I'm a nasty girl...?"

Why Don't We Fall In Love...

"So many things I'm going through
So much that I wanna do
It's starting to become so clear to me
Tomorrow ain't really guaranteed
So many days I thought of you
It's about time you knew the truth
Gotta act quickly you and I
And fall in love so many reasons why
So why don't we...
Why don't we fall in love?
It's so many reasons
But it's the only thing that matters to me..."

                                 

For as long as I can remember, I've been madly in love with FASHION. The idea of dressing and adorning my body with garments and accessories that express my mood and attitude is very important to me. I've used the blog on many occasions to show off the work of top SL designers, but today I wanted to highlight one of my longtime favorite RL fashion houses: GUCCI. Classically sexy and sophisticated, Gucci is a label that has stood the test of time, while always producing exciting and edgy fashion for women that aren't afraid to be noticed. Bold use of color and gold finishes is seen all throughout their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The work is polished and refined, but with a definite sex appeal and wearability. One of the best things about Second Life is that we can adopt RL style within the confines of our grid, and I've selected 3 designers whose latest offerings are perfect adaptations of Gucci chic CERTAIN to make you fall in love...
