Inspiration

Second Life for me is like a Barbie dream house.  I log in to shop, chat and play dress up...and when I chat, it is usually all about the dress up lol.  So, yea I spend a lot of time trying on demos, shopping, organizing my inventory and putting together looks.  I don't really have any particular set way that I go about things when playing dress up, I generally just sort of go with the flow. Sometimes I am inspired by a song, or a pop culture look, even inspired by my fellow bloggers and fllickrites.

Sometimes I am inspired by certain items I acquire in SL.  This was the case last night...3 things in particular caught my attention for most of the evening.  I am totally in love with these shoes from Empire, this hair from Rezology and the lipstick applier from the Genesis Ingrid gacha. I originally wanted to do something kind of Sci Fi noir, a Bladerunner inspired look I suppose. But because I was enjoying trying on all sorts of things with these items, I pretty much lost track of time..and my original themed idea got lost a long the way.  That happens a lot with me, lol.  So I decided to go ahead and snap shots of a few of my fave looks combined with all 3 items I was obsessing over:)

Ok now you have a small glimpse of how my mind works when playing SL dress up.  I am always wondering how others go about it, how they come up with their looks and styles. It is so interesting to me.

I love Big Bang and G Dragon both for their style and music.  G Dragon's amazing style always inspires me....so I chose the Crooked video because of course the song is fantastic, but also really shows off his sense of style.
