They Told Me

Never have I had a rational mind
Never have I been rational inside
My gut, my heart and my head
That’s the way they’ve always been
Never gonna change who I am
Just because you’ll never understand
Never gonna apologize for being so intense
How the hell would that make any sense
They told me to get over it
Hell I’m not ashamed of what’s inside of me
And I will never ever be

~ “They Told Me” by Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside

I always wanted to be a rebel.. deep in my heart. I wanted to wear a leather jacket and boots up to there and a short short cut, but it was never in the cards for me (in part because RL me is too damn short). In SL, though, I can rebel in the sexiest way I know.

Start with this amazing leather jacket from Paul Lapointe with the optional t-shirt underneath. Wear the jacket over your favorite system piece, spend time clicking all the customizations (four leather styles, lining and zipper/button styles) and the put on the optional tee underneath that comes with it’s own set of customizations (prints and colors).

Then slip on a pair of leather shorts from Teslinne Quan. These are made from a template but she features a terrific hud for changing out the shorts to 16 different colors for a low price. I donned the new collar from Maxi Gossamer’s Limited Bazaar set. You really need to get over there quickly as her stuff sells out and it’s always fabulous. I can’t imagine not seeing this great stuff for say again!

Then pull on these up-to-there boots from Tawny Mirror, who takes her time making a pair of boots and it shows. With a color change hud offering 24 colors for the boots plus customization for the logo, trim, sole, heel and zippers, and you can tweak it in just as you like. (I made the logo and sole border pink—hee!) The mesh itself wraps around your shape like a glove, never warping, always looking fabulous. And the foot of the boot? Freakin’ hot with the stiletto heel and pointed toe.

My makeup, pink and purple and seemingly sweet makeup from Tricky Boucher can be damn fierce in the right context. I matched up the pink from the lips with the pink in Paul’s t-shirt with the pink accents on the boots. The new Mya skin from Tricky is absolutely gorgeous, especially with Ikon Innovia’s pale pale Ardent eyes.

What makes the look complete, however, is this short cut from Chiaki Xue. I spent a lot of time searching for the right cut to lend a little edginess to this look, and this one did it. Made for girls or boys, the long back makes it super-sexy for anyone.

Jealousy is an untamed beast
And that untamed beast lives inside of me
They told me to get over it
But I will never get over it.
