A Picture's Worth 1000 Words

***BLOGGER CHALLENGE***

So often you hear that a picture is worth 1000 words, I don't know the specifics, but I do know that you can tell a story with a picture. I love how songs inspire us, how a song can evoke a picture in your head. There have been songs I've heard as of late, that I've felt compelled to try to convey through a picture. I'd like to challenge each of you bloggers to try the same. Find a song that inspires you, and take a picture that, to you, tells the story. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Please leave a link in comments if you participate!



After The Storm - Mumford & Sons

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.

I won't die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and man so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

"Pipes with no Panties"

An odd request came across my Plurk this morning. "Blog meme tomorrow courtesy of Photo Nikolaidis "Pipes with No Panties" . Challenge issued bloggers. You know what to do." For some reason, the first thought I had was "Challenge Accepted" So, without further ado, a pipe. but no panties.

Ava Heart

AvaHeart by Burke Benoir
For Relay For Life
"It's what's inside that counts..."

SLURL: Ava Heart

Abby told me that we needed to check out Ava Heart soon, we went over on Monday and took a look around. I mentally made checkmarks for hearts that I wanted, this was before noticing that each heart is available for just a L$49 donation to Relay For Life. There are just about as many kinds of hearts as you can think of, which one will fit you best? Where will you keep it? They can be worn as an accessory, displayed as art, or even worn in your chest. **There is a disclaimer on the wall for mesh users: Until glitches are worked out and the parametric deformer is implemented, Ava Hearts will not work with mesh clothing that uses an alpha layer on the torso**

The hearts are Mod/Trans and the event runs through March 30th. They would make great Valentines Day gifts for friends and family. I picked up one for Mike, Abby & Sachy - though, there's no way I will be able to wait until then!

So many imaginative things
you can do with Ava Heart!
You can wear it in your chest...
You can pin it to your sleeve...
You can put it up on a shelf...
You can keep it under glass...

An Unexpected Fairytale

I'm a sucker for a twist. I love when a book I'm reading takes an unexpected turn, or a movie ends in such a way that it leaves more questions than answers. I like to take something that you expect to see one way, and change it ever so slightly. When Sachy put this outfit together a couple months ago, I knew I wanted to take this picture. The colors of his outfit gave the feeling of Snow White, though not overtly effeminate. I decided that I wanted to do a shoot that would not be what one would expect from a "Snow White" themed picture, and asked Abby to be the 'Prince.' My goal was to alter the outfit of the traditional prince enough to make it feminine without losing the over all integrity. I immediately thought of this pose set that I've had my eye on for some time. There is a story that reads in local, as you click the rose to change the poses that accompany it, and guess what, there's a twist ending!

Not Young Not Old

Listen up guys and gals, Bella Baroque just announced that Olive Juice is closing its doors on February 19th. She's given us all a little over a month to run over and scoop everything up at lowered prices (see below for details). I hate to see these stores that have been intrigal to my blogging close, but her reasons are solid, and there's hope to see her in the future. I love that she's keeping her poses on the market place - this is good news to me, as I won't feel like a brat blogging her stuff (Lookie what I have and you don't!)

Love times Three

Before Christmas, Lyrical Popstar challenged people to take one article of clothing and incorporate it into 3 seperate looks. I chose a cardigan from Nait Smith Designs that I simply adore. I chose this because it translates well to different styles and best of all, it's mod. All three outfits use the same color cardi, just tinted to fit the feel of the outfit.
