But it begs a question
How did I ever find you
Drifting gently through the gyre
Of the great Sargasso sea, Atlantic Ocean
Got me writing love songs
With a common refrain like this one here

~ “Left Handed Kisses” by Andrew Bird (featuring Fiona Apple)

I just got tickets to see Andrew Bird, and I am thrilled. So of course, I feature a song from Andrew Bird for my blog. (And I also got tickets for Sturgill Simpson, so I am just one spoiled girl this spring.) Of course, a love song should be written for this gorgeous dress from leenfantterrible (who is not French, apparently), fit perfectly to the Maitreya body and with a great flower motif at the hem and a beautiful spring color that exudes sunniness and chic. I paired Maxi Gossamer’s newest necklace for Collabor88 with the look and sexy strappy heels from Saki Galliazo that have a HUD that let me match them to the look. A little handbag with posies from Juno Martel finishes off my look.

The Skin Fair opens to everyone tomorrow, but today was a preview for Skin Addiction members (among others). The sims were jam packed with people, and here’s hoping it will abate so the rest of the grid can attend. Below are maps and central landmarks:

I chose to use Umazuma Metaluna’s gorgeous applier for the Logo Sadie mesh head for my look. It’s really important to make sure you get the right applier for the right Logo head because they vary so much. (A few weeks ago I tried an applier made for the Alex head on the just-released Sadie, and I would say it didn’t come out well).

The Ocean Refuses No River

Sink into your eyes and all I see
Love is an ocean
And you for me

Sink into your eyes
Your eyes
Are all I see
Your love is an ocean

An ocean refuses no river
Ever so lonely
An ocean refuses no river

Waiting for the time when we can be alone together
Alone together
Eternally

The ocean, the ocean
Refuses no river

The ocean, your ocean
Refuses no river

~ “Ever So Lonely/Eyes/Ocean” by Sheila Chandra

A beautiful cosmic song of love and I have a gorgeous look to go with it. First I start with this luxurious silk look from LeEnfantTerrible, a silk robe over a very short tunic that is labeled a “dress,” but goodness knows it’s a short dress. I absolutely loved the textures she shows on these pieces, which come 2-for-1 at Chapter Four, so you get two gorgeous looks. The colors are vibrant, the style is sexy without being crass, and the feel is pure luxury.

I accessorized with a jewelry set Caelen Hancroft is featuring at 100 Block when it opens on April 9. All exclusive items at 100 Block are marked down 20% or more so you will be able to pick up this pretty mesh set, which includes a HUD for texture change on three different parts of the metal and the beads. Zaara Kohime has come out with gorgeously-textured ethnic bags, also made in mesh and done with her special touch of color. Available in a variety of colors, the bags can add spice to any look. Finally, Poulet Koenkamp is featuring these space age sandals at The Instruments with three different sets of color-change HUDs to give you a variety of looks.

Nicole Button has been going through her inventory of skins and upgrading them with new features, a full set of appliers (and I mean full set), brow varieties, several cleavage choices, and just a whole lot of goodness. I added her gloss to the lips on the pretty lips for this skin. I am wearing the darling hair from MissAllSunday Lemon from the Xiasumi School Fair, an anime-inspired cut with tendrils around the face. I love these bright blue eyes from Soleil Reid. Usually I am not for bright eyes, but these make the look with this gorgeous dress.

I Run Roulette

I’ve been tricked into a thousand different ways
To slide myself away right down the drain
That was all within in a day
Not so sure no more
Not so sure no more
Say this is heaven in a bombshell blonde who’s got the devil’s legs

Maybe you should be the one that I forget
Baby, I could be the one that you regret
My cassette don’t play these songs, I run roulette
If you don’t know, keeping it close
If you don’t go, I might run, I run roulette

~ “I Run Roulette” by Boots

I totally love this new song so I made a look of “a bombshell blonde who has the devil’s legs.” My dress is a great new piece from LeEnfantTerrible for Shiny Shabby, a great mesh piece that is a brocade with a subtly striped overlay. I love how the beads decorate the decolletage and the hem with a great subtle mix of taupe and light blue and gray. I pulled out some jewelry from Maxi Gossamer, sparkly nail appliers from Constance Daehlie, and wear the stringy strapped sandals Senzati0n Domenitzo is selling at Whore Couture to complete my look.

NatalieWells is selling this gorgeous skin at Skin Fair with Slink hand and feet appliers that come with it and different sets of lip colors to enhance the skins. I wil say I am disappointed she doesn’t have mesh body appliers. I have gotten spoiled with the beautiful lines a mesh body can provide, especially seeing myself without one for these photos. Her faces are so lovely, I hope she comes to do the appliers soon.

My fabulous hair is a new one from Kavar Cleanslate, tied to the side and flowing down with his great textures. I couldn’t help but go blonde because it matched the lyrics and looked so fab with the skin and dress.
