Philosophia

But in time a thought comes tugging on the sleeve edge of our minds
Perhaps no perfect way exists at all, just many different kinds
Oh but if it’s just a thing of taste then everything unwinds
For without an absolute how can the absolute define…

I can be kinda bookish (duh). This look resonates with me. From the expertly rendered turtleneck from Nicole David (now on sale at the big Warehouse sale) to the skirt from AvaGardner Kungler (which is part of a dress, but it is just perfect here.. I love how Ava does the pleated look on the prims) to the glasses (mesh—from Rob Moonites), I can walk around SL in my real state of being—nerdy and sexy all at once. I am a work of art!

The sexy comes first of all from the skin, which is a light and lovely beauty from Gala Phoenix. What really makes it pop is the blue eyeshadow and smoky liner on the eyes. Gala knows to leave everything else neutral on the face so the eyes pop with color. Also sexy is this multicolor hair from Queue Marlowe with its separate braid on the shoulder. I was able to walk around the grid with this hair and look cute without worrying about my braid poking me through the shoulder.

Finally, the sex appeal is in the boots. Yes, I know—flat leather boots seem antithetical to the idea of sexy but I was assured that they were indeed VERY sexy. Of special interest is the incredibly versatile script Gospel Voom includes in these boots—change colors on the boot or sock, resize (or oversize as I got a little click happy in front of Callie last night because she said they were too small), and change from tight to loose with the click of a button (and the sexy sound of a zipper opening—that little detail made the boots so much more for me).

A work of art, oh to be a work of art
