Secrets......Laura had secrets

So Collab 88 has a fun theme this month, Moonless nights,  and it's a tribute to Twin Peaks. No no not that restaurant that hires buxom ladies, but the TV show from the early 1990s. If you haven't seen Twin Peaks the TV show yet, Don't worry Netflix has you covered. It's a cult class one can't miss. The more you watch the more secrets about Laura you discover..Lets just say Laura wasn't the good girl she appeared to be.

Now let's look at the styling credits.

A** like that

Today I'm showcasing some goodies that I recently acquired....and some are a bit naughty in nature. Let's start at the top and work our way down.

I picked up this wig from The Arcade gacha event. Clawtooth designed this beautiful side swept pony tail that includes flowers. Both the hair color and flowers are controlled by a Hud and can be changed to suit your styling needs.

I then headed to Collab88 and picked up this cute lingerie set from one of my long time favorite designers, Nylon Pinkney of Nylon Outfitters. I have been a fan of Nylon's creations since I first joined SL back in 2006/2007. I must own pretty close to everything she has created. This lingerie set I am wearing comes with both system layer clothing as well as appliers for the Maitreya body, which is a total plus for anyone who is switching to a mesh body.

Finally I made my way to the naughty part of SL and picked up a few things i found in Strawberry Singh's recent post. The Whore Couture Fair is currently showcasing some well made naughty clothing, poses, shoes, skins in SL. Since, I'm not particularity naughty (stop laughing) I didn't pick up too many goodies; however, I might go back and grab a few things for some upcoming photos.



Exposure, owned by RubyStarlight Writer, an awesome pose creator, designed a set of poses for the Red Light District. oooh yea, it's that naughty part of Amsterdam we hear so much about. I'm thrilled that Ruby made this set because it's a total dream come true. There are a 13 poses included in this set and multiple people can use it at once. I feel it will make for a really fun evening if I could get together a group of friends and TP in a guy or two for a photo shoot. It could make a great prop for a "Red light district" party.....hmmmm...that's a thought.

Last, but certainly not least are the gorgeous shoes designed by Duncan Giano. Open toes and long wooden heels...Aubrey is a combination of classy and sexy. They remind me of a pair of shoes I coveted during my late teens. The ones my mother wouldn't let me wear, but mamma if you could see me now in these heels.  Aubrey is available in 8 different colors and well worth the purchase. They work with several mesh bodies; Maitreya, Belleza, The Mesh Project even Slink feet.

As for today's post title, well....I have to admit I was tuning into my "Bells Booty" playlist, and Eminem's, "Ass like that"popped up while i was editing the photo.  (hides face in shame, I know) I will spare you the youtube link and musical lyrics for this post.

Style

"You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye.....And I got that red lip classic thing that you like.....And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.....Cause we never go out of style"
Taylor Swift- Style

Today I am listening to Taylor Swift's album 1989, which prompted today's look, Style. I took cues from the music video to complete the look. Btw, if you haven't seen the music video I suggest you take a look. It's a girl's fantasy: romantic, dark and somewhat forbidden.

My dress and skin are from this current round of Collab88. There are still a few more days left to head over to Collab88 before it closes. Don't let these goodies pass you by.

Dreams

"But listen carefully to the sound....Of your loneliness........Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had.......And what you lost...And what you had..."
Dreams- Fleetwood Mac

Quite possibly my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Fleetwood Mac is currently in Texas, I totally envy the people who have gone and seen them this week. One day perhaps I will get to see them live; until them I will have to settle for listening to them on iTunes.

This is my bohemian/ rock star look, I acquired most items from Uber and couldn't wait to place the look together. To me, it captures a look of the 70's; although, I  have to admit I'm an 80's baby and wasn't born during that decade.

Let down

 Ever have one of those days or periods in your life where everything seems like a let down? You get passed up for the promotion; the cute guy you like is not interested; someone made a promise then broke it; miss that limited time sale at your favorite shop. (ok perhaps this last one isn't a big let down) This pretty much captures my life and mood at the moment. I'm sure I just need a few days to get over the sadness that develops when you are: let down, disappointed and crushed. As for today, I'm going to have Radiohead's, "Let down" on repeat until I find something else to lift my spirits.

The Troubles

"I have a will for survival......So you can hurt me then hurt me some more...I can live with denial
......But you’re not my troubles anymore"

I've become a bit obsessed with U2's song The troubles. I feel it is just the right enough of sway for a relaxing Sunday, soft and yet somewhat sexy.
