maybe sparrow

maybe sparrow you should wait
the hawks alight ’til morning
you’ll never pass beyond the gate
if you don’t hear my warning

 
When I saw these tights from Kyoot at Collabor88 for March I knew I wanted to put together a blue and green springtime look, preferably with some more bird-themed items (part of the tight design is birds and birdcages). I picked up this pretty tulip-sleeved dress with flowers and birds along the hem from JANE at March Mesh Madness (MMM12).
 

notes are hung so effortless
with the rise and fall of sparrow’s breast

 
Schadenfreude has a whole set of bird skull jewelry at FLUX right now, with cord/metal/gem/bead texture change options via HUD. I used the “Choose” option on the HUD to select which beads I wanted to change at a time, so I could create a repeating pattern of three different bead textures.

circus

I could not resist the temptation to acquire multiple colors of this cute Circus outfit from The Secret Store and put together a little circus-themed photoshoot. I had fun shopping for accessories, poses and props; credits for allthethings follow the pictures.

all eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
when I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip just like a circus

 

there’s only two types of people in the world
the ones that entertain and the ones that observe

 

I’m like the ringleader, I call the shots
I’m like a firecracker, I make it hot

hunter

’cause it’s an animal city, it’s a cannibal world
so be obedient, don’t argue, some are ready to bite you
it’s an animal city, it’s a cannibal world
so be obedient, don’t argue, some are ready rip you right off
