FASHION & MUSIC: Justify My Love


JUSTIFY MY LOVE

Wanting, needing, waiting…
For you to justify my love.
Yearning, burning…
For you to justify my love

What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?

Talk to me.
Tell me your dreams
Am I in them?
Tell me your fears.
Are you scared?
Tell me your stories.
I’m not afraid of who you are.
We can fly!

Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.

FASHION: I am excited to present a daring designer, King88 Diesel, who designed this extraordinary outfit that is super sexy yet high fashion that just oozes sex appeal. The K!NG- ADAMO Gothic Shirt is highly detailed and very well made which includes features like bold leather straps as well as skull and dagger jewelry that adorned the top. The -K!NG- EROTIKA Leather Shorts comes with a color changing and resizable hud that allows you to  pick the color of your underwear and your ‘package’. The police hat is from DIRAM as part of the “Cheryl” outfit. Make-up by Garded Secret. I love this look of daring sexuality that simply says  “I know I’m SEXY”.

FASHION:

I had the pleasure of modeling this outfit for PASSION Agency and I can’t stop wearing it. lol. I’m a big fan of Honey Bender’s designs for Faster Pussycat. I love how she infused the street punk glam and outrageous edginess into her designs like this outfit for example. The combination of a well made edgy kilt paired with long pants is inventive and unique. I love the texture and the well made prims. The camouflage top adds an unexpected yet beautiful contrast to the bold red/black colors of the pants/kilt. The makeup is from Garded Secret called Evil Eyes. The hair is from TSM which I sometimes used to have that crazy outrageous punk touch. ❤ ❤ ❤

They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me…

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes.
They call me on and on across the universe…
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box.
TheyTumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe.

Nothing’s gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a

FASHION:

The Nautical style outfit comes from Chantkare Male Designs by Applonia Criss who is such a sweetheart. I love this sweater with the blue and white stripes. The choice of texture and color is amazing. This sweater is called Raven due to the bold print of a raven in flight at the front of the sweater (Not Shown in the Pic). A perfect outfit for a casual cool summer night. The pants is also from Chantkare Male called Thermal Legs. LOVE LOVE LOVE the texture and fit which shows comfy casual wear. The jewelry is a limited edition from FINESMITH Designs called Valeria which model Valeria Endrizzi is the Inspiration. The necklace looks like a delicate beautiful shell. The hair/hat is from White~Widow called The Dark Knight. I am so happy that White~Widow have men’s hair now. I love their selections and I hope they will make more. I choose this hairstyle because it is cute and quirky…just adorable. Garded Secret’s Evil Eyes make-up/tattoo layer finishes the look to fit the theme of despair and loneliness of the scene. I hope you like this casual wear style by these awesome designers.

LYRICS:

ROLLING in the DEEP

There’s a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing me out the dark,

Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and a I’ll lay your ship bare,
See how I’ll leave with every piece of you,
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do,

There’s a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bring me out the dark,

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can’t help feeling,

We could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
And you played it to the beat,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I’ve heard one on you and I’m gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Make a home down there as mine sure won’t be shared,

The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
I can’t help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

We could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),

And you played it to the beat,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hands,
But you played it with a beating,

Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for,
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You’ll pay me back in kind and reap just what you’ve sown,

(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
We could have had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
We could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

We could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
And you played it to the beat,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),

But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.

She is an amazing photographer as well as a designer. Watch Out cuz she is going to be HUGE. Check Out her FLICKR: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sophy_violet/

FASHION: I recently modeled this outfit for PASSION Agency’s Cabaret Colore Show and I just couldn’t wait to blog it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit as well as the designer…Honey Bender. She is lovely and so friendly, not to mention super talented.The outfit is called FASTER PUSSYCAT Velvet Elvis. This tangerine colored jacket is finely detailed with zippers and pockets. The form and  style adds a very masculine touch in contrast to the flower petals that just flows nicely at both shoulders. This fantastic touch adds such a couture elegance that is so unique and beautiful yet still masculine. I love how it shows the chest. =) The necklace is also part of the outfit from Faster Pussycat called Velvet Elvis Dagger Necklace. Doesn’t the Faster Pussycat  Velvet Elvis Pants in yellow combined with the Badass Belt shows a bit of a rebel side? I love the texture…kinda like Punk Glam. =)

My awesome friend Talyia Tarber had given me this makeup/tattoo layer called Garded Secret Peacock feather makeup with Gold Lipstick. I knew I had to use it with this outfit. It is a perfect combination. I love the color combination of gold and green tones which really sets off the face and outfit. The hair is a combination of Uncle Web and TSM. I love combining hairstyles. lol.

Caged Bird

By Maya Angelou

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still.
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

Beauty Secret #3

I saw her amid purple swirls.
I saw Cleopatra, a young girl
stretched out upon her back,
inhaling a scented aphrodisiac
from a brazier encrusted with pearls.
As the silky smoke did curl
around her jeweled body, her hand, bold
as the paw of a tiger, fired her hair with gold.
Her feet, white lilies; her ankles bangled
with opals; her arms entangled
in turquoise, garnets and diamond darts.
Her flesh, cool as all the perfumed arts
of Egypt. Ah! If only I could enter her door,
I’d offer all my laurels, riches—everything I adore!
—John Howard Reid

Golden Empress
Bring out the goddess in you with this evocative new makeup from Garded Secret. Shimmering gold is brushed upon your cheeks as your eyes turn into a work of art with shades of blue and gold outlined in khol.
