The story of Harper, Barely and Raul Malo’s voice.

O what a thrill
O what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
O what a thrill

~ “O What a Thrill” by the Mavericks

Ven Hacia Mi

Inspired by Raul Malo’s exquisitely manly voice, I put together this country look, preparing to go see the Mavericks some day. (See video above.) Start with this wrap around top by Dainie Fraina. A walk into her store shows a variety of clothes, some of them culturally diverse (like dashiki for men), most of it African-inspired. Bright and lively colors pop off the walls and exciting and different styles attract the eye. In this case, the wrap top had an odd darkness under the arms, and I sent a notecard to Dainie pointing this out with a photo. Within less than 24 hours she resent two completely changed tops with the error gone.

I know how hard it can be for designers in SL sometimes. People have unrealistic expectations and act as if their 75L is their mortgage payment they sacrificed. I was willing to believe that my purchase was simply money lost to an error unforeseen by the creator. I was pleasantly surprised with Dainie answered and responded. In summary, excellent customer service from Artizana.

If you look at the video, you will see me doing a lot of booty waggling. That’s because of these great shorts from OneBadPixel. I have seen some seriously poorly done butts on mesh pants. The flat saggy model butt is not what this girl wants—I want round, full and wagglable, especially when I am trying to get someone to do a concert in my town. Think Raul will get my message?

Finally, allow me to feature this absolutely gorgeous skin from Carina Larsen. I have always been a fan of her skins with their beautiful blush, well drawn features like brows, eyes and lips, and absolutely gorgeous bod. I am surprised we don’t see more of Carina on folks (including me).

My piercingly blue eyes are from Ikon Innovia’s newest collection, two toned and absolutely captivating. I can’t tell you how much these eyes make a difference to how I feel about my own looks and others’. The eyes are the window to the soul and with Ikon, my soul is deep, beautiful and mesmerizing.

She gives a fresh faced and unique appearance, sexy and sensuous, to female avatars. My hair with its abundant curls is Truth Hawks’ newest, and it’s nice to see he is branching out to ringlets and curls from his formerly wavy styles.

Why can’t Raul tour in the North?!?

Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame

[...] Update: it’s the Mavericks you hear in today’s song and they ARE coming to my hometown this summer. I guess they decided to book after my pitiful plea. [...]
