Like Cockatoos

So, my Second Life friend, DJ A.F.I, a great SL & RL DJ, (who is also my longtime "Real Life" friend, since she was a teenager!) was like, "Hey I want to take you to this really cool store," & proceeded to take me to Ladies Who Lunch. Little did she know I am a big fan of that store but haven't been there in a while because every time I go, I end up broke. There are just so many awesomely unique designs & cute, cool stuff that I always want & this time was no exception.

Anyone who knows me probably knows I like birds. Well, I mean they are pretty easy to like: First of all they are nice to look at, secondly they have lovely singing voices, thirdly there's the whole metaphoric "freedom of flight" thing to envy & lastly, they just have a real air of majesty & mystery to them. I think birds are quite magnificent & interesting creatures & they never cease to amaze me.

SO ~ when I saw this colorful mesh sweater/skirt/heels combo resplendent in feathers & with giant Cockatoo faces on it - it was pretty much a no-brainer that I had to have it. (BTW - there are also dress sets with a Pachyderm, Bird of Paradise, Lotus & Owl, in case Cockatoos aren't your thing!) You can get the top & skirt separately or get the set which includes the shoes, like I did. I already had the LoQ hair,  (which is VERY much like a "Cockatoo-ish" crown itself,) the Paper Couture earrings & the awesome ni.Ju makeup totally finished off the look & really complimented my brand new Jesylilo skin that I am LOVING, (absolutely amazing lips & eyebrows!) 

This outfit reminded of one of my favorite old songs by the Cure. Even though the outfit is a LOT more upbeat & happy than the song is, I decided to include it anyway because for one I just couldn't get it out of my head & two, it's really pretty & kind of melancholy & that's just how I am: half crazy, upbeat & colorful & half nostalgic & melancholy. Enjoy! :P

Here's the Cure from 1987 with, "Like Cockatoos." If you haven't heard the whole album "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" - I highly recommend checking it out. So many great, very emotional & personal, yet identifiable songs with amazing musicianship. It's a classic!

Lyrics:
She walked out of her house
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked
Back at her house
(Like all the faces
That quiz when you smile...)

And he was standing
At the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell
Black down on the street

And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos

"There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead

And in her head
A picture of a boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
(And all around the night sang out
like cockatoos)

Pretty In Tangerine

I made another outfit using the same shoes, socks & bag as last time. Well, what can I say, when I find things I like, I tend to use them a lot! I also tend to save up & buy little things here & there, or indulge in fatpacks, like I HAD to do when I saw how great the new Fashionably Dead skins were after seeing them recently modeled in a post on Steffy Ghosts' blog. She's the creator of Jack Spoon, has great style & I always get a lot of inspiration from her blog. She was also wearing some great, thick eyebrows I have been seeing everywhere & coveting, so I hopped over to Cheap Makeup as well. One of my biggest regrets is over-plucking my eyebrows in the 1990's, (when it was the fashion to do so,) because they never fully grew back, leaving me with thin brows, which can be a little "aging". I long for the thick brows of my youth, which brings me to this outfit, a nod to the era of my teens. This look has a real 80's vibe to me, the brightly colored, slightly oversized  belted sweater worn over a feminine, ruffly shirt, skinny, high-waisted pants, slouchy socks with tasseled shoes, jaunty hat with messy hair, the great bag & the glasses, for sure. It's kind of a sleeker, more sophisticated version of Molly Ringwald's Andie character from Pretty in Pink: Pretty in Tangerine?

Paper Couture Bird Ring (Marketplace) I didn't get any close-ups of the ring this time around, but take a look at the pic on marketplace, it's really cute. All of her jewelry is outstanding. At any rate, I will be wearing it a LOT, so I'm sure I will get better pics of it soon. I also bought a few necklaces so I am excited to wear those as well!
