Gatsby Inspired look @ The Dressing Room

I’m a huge fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and the original version of the motion picture, (the good one with dashing Robert Redford
). When I walked into the June edition The Dressing Room, I was inspired by Drift Zoe Maxi dress in Bloom and LaGyo Poppy headpiece in pink. To complete the look, I purchased Just Design Deviant Shoes in Shock pink and paired it with some Arcade finds; Gizza Straw Summer Bag and Pink Fuel Harley 04 skin (a huge THANK YOU goes out to ★MISS V♛ USA ★ Averil who shared some of her goodies with me (and started my Arcade addiction
). Remember ladies, The Dressing Room is a discount shopping event with creations from top SL designers reduced to 40-70L. I believe a new rounds starts Friday, June 21, so hop over and grab up these deals before they are gone.

Vibrantly Vero Modero For Both Him & Her!
I was all decked out in my new mesh bikini that I picked up at Vero Modero today as a free group gift, ready to snap photos at Crossing Currents, and I heard my IM go “BING, BING”… It’s Calgon, practically BEGGING me to let him join me in a photo again today, so being the sweet thing I am, I allowed him to go get the matchy-matchy male group gift at Vero Modero and join me in the photo.

As I mentioned in my last post, The Hair Fair’s Photo Contest is in full swing! I thought I would throw my hat in the ring. This year’s theme is “Inspired by Movies” and I chose one of my favorites, Funny Face. Yes, it is a musical, but its loosely based off of Richard Avedon and I love Audrey Hepburn and Frank Sinatra.

Blog the Beat #3: Don’t Stop Believing
This one took me forever. Between trying to find an outfit, trying to find a place, trying to find some focus, and trying to find and idea that wasn't completely reductive, I was stuck for so long. I'm glad I finally figured something else, but now I'm a couple songs behind on Blog the Beat, but I'm sure I'll catch up quickly. It's really fun to try to capture an idea, a feeling, originally embodied in song. This one is one of failed dreams, stale smells, and the thousand petty compromises we make in order to stay alive in a world who is far too often completely indifferent to us.
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin’ anywhere
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on
Streetlights, people
