RicoRacer Flux: Killing Me Softly…

Killing Me Softly…

MODEL & PHOTOGRAPHER: RicoRacer Flux

FASHION: 

I’ve been wanting to do a fashion blog on this song by Roberta Flack “Killing Me Softly”. It is one of my favorite songs because it is tender and relatable. Have you ever heard a song that just speaks to you? Some songs are like that just like fashion. I wanted to create a look that is casual but chic and stylish….something a modern musician would wear. This COCO black leather jacket with the gold trim collar is perfect. It is simple with its clean lines yet elegant. I really love the Gold trim on the collar; other colors are also available like black or silver. The super sexy Tableau Vivant see-through shirt is a nice contrast to the clean lines of the jacket. I really love mixing and matching contrasting textures..makes it interesting. The stylish SWAT pants is also from Tableau Vivant. Check out the realistic folds along the length of the pant legs. Necklace is from one of my favorite jewelry store in SL: Rozoregalia. I might not be able to kill you softly with a song, but I hope I killed it in style. 🙂

MUSIC: Killing Me Softly With His Song

LYRICS:

Chorus:

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

[Chorus]

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn’t there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.

FASHION: Okay, I’m in an EMO mood and what better way to express it than to dress up in an ultra chic black outfit from one of my favorite stores: Tableu Vivant. They recently released a lot of cool new mesh items and I’m hooked. I love the simplistic style, yet it is unique and breathtaking the way they play with the shape and textures of their designs. For example: This Cossak trousers are just amazing the way it balloons at the top and tapers it down to the legs; the fabric just flows. Paired the look with a corset from Cheerno, gloves from Vero Modero and boots from Hoorenbeek. Make up by Nuuno adds a nice finishing touch to my EMO ensemble. Afterall If you are gonna be sad, LOOK FABULOUS!!!

“Everybody Hurts”

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you’re sure you’ve had enough
Of this life, well hang onDon’t let yourself go
‘Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimesSometimes everything is wrong
Now it’s time to sing along
When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (Hold on)
If you think you’ve had too much
Of this life, well hang on

Everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don’t throw your hand, oh no

Don’t throw your hand
If you feel like you’re alone
No, no, no, you are not alone

If you’re on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts

Sometimes, I get into these crazy styling frenzy especially when I’m passionately inspired. When I first saw the Breaking Apart Face Petals by Tableu Vivant at Culture Shock, I knew it was something I had to have. I LOVE unique things that I can incorporate into my styling and this flower petals, that seems to be blowing away from the face, jump started my imagination. While fighting heavy lag at Culture Shock, I came across Vero Modero where I found a very nice outfit called Culture Shock Vesti Set. I like the rich color of the vest but what attracted my eyes is the gorgeous collar that looks like Rose Petals. Uhmmm YES LADY, I know this outfit is female but that never stopped me before. (LMAO) Guys, don’t let a female outfit scare you. Take it apart and make it your own masculine style. In fact, I actually have my eye on two more female creations by Vero Modero that I can defiitely put my take on. Dear Bouquet Babii…I adore you. I love your female designs so much even though I am truly a MAN in SL and RL. lol.

Giz Seorn of GIZZA Fashion have been creating quite a stir with her win as BOSL Best New Designer of 2011. I can see why. Take a look below how unique and amazing these pants are which is part of the set: Shalwar. Uhm YES, this is the Male One. TYVM. OMG, I am a big fan of the shape and texture of the pants. It is so stylish..and combined with these amazing boots. Don’t get me started on the boots or I will have to write pages and pages. lol. Hat is from TMH called Fright Night. I chose FINESMITH Jewelry for the bracelet because it is no secret that I’m a big fan of Yula’s designs. The Harsch Inspiration bracelet and the cuff are to die for. YES, I am so much inspired that I am trying out for the FINESMITH Inspiration this month. Come join me. We’ll have a blast. You have until the end of June to enter. =)

LYRICS:

  Every time that I look in the mirror,
All these lines on my face gettin’ clearer.
The past has gone…
It went by like dusk to dawn.
Isn’t that the way?
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay.

Yeah, I know nobody knows…
Where it comes and where it goes.
I know it’s everybody’s sin.
You got to lose to know how to win!

Half my life’s in books written pages.
Live and learn from fools and from sages.
You know it’s true…
All the things come back to you.

Sing with me, sing for the year.
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear.
Sing with me, if it’s just for today.
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.

Dream on, dream on, dream on.
Dream yourself a dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on.
And dream until your dream comes true.

Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on.
Dream on, dream on, dream on…aaahhh

Sing with me, sing for the year.
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear.
Sing with me, if it’s just for today.
Maybe tomorrow good Lord will take you away.

Sing with me, sing for the year.
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear.
Sing with me, if it’s just for today.
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
