Anatomy Of A Look

In this post, I want to break down the construction of the look I've put together, particularly regarding my Genus Classic head.  More info on that below.

But first!  Words for my dear sponsor - IDEALIA.  I am wearing the Elisa necklace, a triple layered look, rigged for Maitreya, Belleza and Slink.  I am totally crazy over rigged jewelry, and I love this necklace!  (Note: also included is an unrigged version.)  The Roma rings are rigged for Maitreya, and a group gift!  These come with a texture hud and show/hide options for the rings.  

MOoH! has come up with a wonderful concept - a line of Basic wear.  This is the Basics Sandra Top, an off-shoulder casual crop top.  It includes a whole slew of fits and 50 colors on included hud! I'm excited to see other Basics that will be added to this line.

I also picked up Lamb's Honey Hair, part of the Saturday Sale line-up.  Honey is now 75Ls per color pack, and includes a style hud.  I bought 2 colors packs, and should go back and get more because the style is quite marveous.

On to the head info!  As I mentioned, I'm wearing the Genus Classic head.  I have added Izzie's Baby Hairs hud, worn as a Tattoo layer to "finish" the look of the hair.  Awhile back, I picked up Belleza's Ruby makeup sets on a Fifty Lindens Friday sale.  I liked the look so much I bought the full Ruby pack.  In my current look, I have added SlackGirl's Shad11 eyeshadow (thank you for the notice in the Genus group, SlackGirl!-I hopped straight over to Marketplace and bought it), and changed the eyeshadow opacity level on my head hud to 70%.  The reason I like this set of shadows is because they include a thin liner for the lower lid.  This is not found very often!  I'm using the Nataly brow shape that came with my Genus head, because I like TheSkinnery's brow shape (extends more to the temples with the help of the Belleza applier).  For my lips, I have DeeTalez' Viktoria Genus applier - I added the HD Lips option from that hud, and changed the Lips opacity level on my Genus hud to 40%.  

It's not easy being beautiful.  ;)

Finally, I want to share two invaluable tips for wearing your Genus head:

1.  I've heard many complaints about how slowly applier changes load.  Not so!  Bypass the slowness - simply right click your face as if to edit the head.  Then click in your edit box when it comes up (you're not actually editing).  Voila, applier change complete!  Then just click out of your edit box, finis.

2.  I've also heard many complaints about the rigged Genus eyes.  I tend to keep mine in a straightforward, non-moving gaze by clicking the head AO hud, and a quick click in the center of the eye rotation control option.  However, if your eyes appear cross-eyed, too high or too low, not only can you resize your eyes on the universal head hud, but you can change their position!  There is no excuse for having poorly positioned rigged eyes with a Genus head.  ;)

I hope the tips were helpful.  I am always happy to help anyone with styling, shape or mechanics options, so feel free to ask.

Happy shopping!

All Dressed Up And Everywhere To Go

If I was a rich girl (na, na)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town

All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know

Pumpkins Are Pretty Sneaky

Pumpkins are pretty sneaky, they like to hide in the fields

Under a leaf, under a bush, they keep perfectly still

It's a good thing that they're orange, or they'd be hard to see

Gonna catch me one of them pumpkins, a special one for me.

Pumpkins aren't very scary, unless you give them a face

A smile or a frown, eyes up or down, teeth all over the place

Gonna carve me one of them pumpkins, put a candle inside to burn

Then instead of a pumpkin, it'll be a jack o'lantern

So if you happen to see a pumpkin, 

When you're out on hallowe'en night

Don't stop and stare, you better beware

He'll give you an awful fright.

Just keep on trick or treating, don't even say hello

He might jump up, and follow you home, 

You just never know!

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple love

It cannot shatter hope

It cannot corrode faith

It cannot destroy peace

It cannot kill friendship

It cannot suppress memories

It cannot silence courage

It cannot invade the soul

It cannot steal eternal life

It cannot conquer the spirit.

I Need Some Me Time

All things being equal

I always put you first

You know that I've been down for you

Through better and through worse

All things being equal

Boy, I've been more than cool

So it seems only natural

To expect the same of you

Now, I'm not trying to start nothing

I like things drama free

But there won't be nothing to stop

If you keep sweatin' me

Sometimes a girl just needs her space

No different than her man

If I don't care that you do you

Why can't you deal with this?

I need some me time

Not some you and some I

Just some me time, oh

I need some she time

Not some him and some her

Just some free time, oh

I wanna run with my girls

Hit the club, hit the mall

Get my nails and hair done

Spend a day at the spa

Boy, you ain't gotta worry

There ain't nothin' goin' on

I need some me time

That's all, and that's all

It's My Last Curtain Call

The curtains will close
The lights will go dim
And I'll change my clothes for the last time my friend

Gather my roses
Swallow your tears I may be leaving but at least I was here

So goodbye and thank you it's my last curtain call
When you hear the applause hang my hat on the wall
But I'll never be far I'm as close as the wind
So goodbye and thank you I'll see you again

When I walk away with the dust on my shoes
I'll hear what you say so be kind with the news
If things get too loud and you lose your nerve
Remember I left these simple (quiet) words

Goodbye and thank you it's my last curtain call
When you hear the applause hang my hat on the wall
But I'll never be far I'm as close as the wind
So goodbye and thank you I'll see you again

So I'm closing my eyes and I'll picture your face
This beautiful life did not go to waste
Goodbye and thank you it's my last curtain call

I can hear the applause hang my hat on the wall
Oh I'll never be far I'm as close as the wind
So goodbye and thank you I'll see you again.
Goodbye and thank you I'll see you again

Fresh And New Again With You

Loving you is easy, loving you is wondrous and pure

I shout it from the roof tops

How long must I wait 'til I see your smile

Might of been the moonlight

Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes

So we gotta know I should go slow

But it's not in me to wait

'Cause I'm alive I'm on fire

Shine like a star burst into the sky

Oh the fury of desire

You burn so bright electrify

You light me up you take me higher

I've been down a long road

And I've become a stranger to myself

Digging in my heels and hoping time

Might be kinder if I wait it out

Nothing came from wondering

And I became so small and insecure

Didn't know the cost of all I lost

Until I found it fresh and new

(Again with you)

And I'm on fire

Shine like a star burst into the sky

I Saw Your Face In A Crowded Place

My life is brilliant

My love is pure

I saw an angel

Of that I'm sure

She smiled at me on the subway

She was with another man

But I won't lose no sleep on that

'Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You're beautiful, it's true

I saw your face in a crowded place

And I don't know what to do

'Cause I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye

As we walked on by

She could see from my face that I was

Flyin' high 

And I don't think that I'll see her again

But we shared a moment that will last till the end
