52 Colours - #34 - Mauve

I wanted to do a quick shot for this weeks colour that Luna gave us ... MAUVE ...
cause my mind was totally blank on that one ...
QUICK !!! shot ... took me AGES !!! ...
cause I tried SHADOWS on the firestorm viewer I had just installed yesterday ...
apart from that viewer 2 look that I dislike so much, it works quite fine and fast for me and my lil cute netbook ;-)
But after enabling high graphics + shaddows and such ... it was just like ...
lil move ... waiting ... waiting ... lil move ... waiting ... risking a snapshot ... waiting ... waiting ... darn ... eyes closed ... next try ... waiting ... waiting ... waiting ... etc.
guess I won't do that too often ;-) ...
But I like tonight's pic tho ...





















and I like this Mauve poem I found ... enjoy ;-)

Mauve Desert Rose
by Zahhar

here sprouted most unusually
from traveling seed
amid faint shade
of standing rock
alone

the scorching sun blazed brilliantly
lands stretching arid
to horizon
dismal expanse
my home

somewhere beneath the dry cracked ground
were my roots allayed
and so i grew
discovering
within

weary travelers one by one
in times preceding
have ventured past
and still unseen
my life

amid drear desolation vast
days long scalding dread
nights freezing pain
my heart took shape
growing

long seasons in succession passed
moon cycles swimming
resilience strong
through withered look
formed true

endlessly looking unto sky
forever reaching
comfort brooded
brewing slowly
soft peace

in great expanse of nothingness
my buds developed
and so they bloomed
for none to see
save god

Purple Pizzazz ... Razzmatazz ... Wisteria ... Outer Space ... Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown ... inch worm ...
one day ;-)

52 Colours - Catching up - #29-31-32-33

erm ... I'm a few numbers behind the rest of you folks ... I know
so I do a cheating quick catching up post ...
with 2 colours still missing ... #28 - PINK and #30 - Ruby get an extra post each, cause friends are involved and I don't want to hide them under a heap of other colours ...
well ... actually those posts will require a lot of work to be done yet anyway ... shame on me !!
So today it will be ...
#29 NEON CARROT ... #31 DENIM ... #32 JADE ... #33 MAHOGANY

and it's not said that it has to be all fashion, right ?
so I present you my very NEON CARROT light ... actually I like it so much ... I'd love to have it in RL ... lol
my DENIM jeans from Sanctuary Rock ... it was part of an outfit that staff got as a present at the club ... and I still love wearing it now and then ... altho my days at the club might be counted ...
my skin turned wooden (MAHOGANY at least) cause that's how I feel lately when I'm in SL ...
and then JADE in my eyes and the JADE pic from my 365 challenge pics (day 279), which I had made for my jaded friend ... so this beautiful colour connects me to a sad and helpless feeling, when I just don't know how to change his mind ... I so wish I could ...

and sometimes I'm jaded too ... like on that weekend when I couldn't go to Lille to see Toxic Waste ...
but so what ... I can simply hit anyone with another of my fav songs from their gig in Germany ... lol
Enjoy 'Kamikazer'



and next time Luna wants us to do MAUVE ... darn ... total blank in my head ;-P

Fab 50 Show Case !!!!

Darn that I live in Europe and RL keeps me from staying up late ...
cause tomorrow, June 16, starting at 4pm SLT ... there will be the
Fab 50 Show Case ....
where top items of the Fab 50 weekends will be presented in a show with models, dancers and magic ;-)














and I got the chance to choose to beautiful models to wear 2 LoonAtic Wear outfits ;-)))
In the pic you see the wonderful Canada Starbrook ... who gave my Angvil outfit with her accessories such an amazing extra touch ;-))

click pic to enlarge ;-)



















And the lovely Monica Querrien will model my Peace-Army outfit ;-))
During the show case, every outfit presented will be available for 50L$ only ...
So grab the taxi and enjoy the show which will take place in a wonderfully prepared theatre ...

You wouldn't want to miss a show that features entertaining dancers, free drinks, and waitresses to bring you cakes whilst seated.

Unfortunately I cannot make it to the event myself, cause I need more than 3 hours of sleep on thursday night, as I will be in my 1st 5km-run-event of this year ... wish me breath and luck ... *grins*

and if you watch the show case ... could you take a pic or two for me ... please?

ps ... no ... I haven't forgotten all the 52 colour posts I still have to catch up with ;-P

Happy Weekends ;-)))

Darn ... haven't blogged for a while now ... missed some colours for the Challenge already and I will be late for the #30 Ruby with Rudh ... but I will catch up eventually ... especially as I had some very cool help from very nice persons for my preperations for #28 Pink ... so stay tuned ;-)

But for now RL has claimed to be the FIRST LIFE ...
and besides a lot of extra hours at work ... the two last weekends were just AWESOME ...
on May 21 I had my first gig with the band that I'm in since March ... and it was a whole lot of fun ... and the next gig will be on wednesday ... ;-))))))))))
I might do a post about that in a bit too

But today I just wanna post about my last weekend ...
the day when I finally met my fav french punk rock band
TOXIC WASTE ;-))))))))
I wrote about them in Febury 2009 when I longed to see them live.
And now they came to Germany ... played in Aachen in a super cool club called Hauptquartier.
(If you ever visit Aachen ... check out the Hauptquartier ... cool music ... and very very nice owner/staff ... TY Dieter for the great evening)

Funny enough I had a Punk event that morning at Sanctuary Rock ... and of course I wore my Toxic Waste shirt ;-)





















And in the evening I got me 2 REAL Toxic Waste shirts ...
Toxic Waste played a really cool set ... just a bit too short ...
I could have listened to them all night long, but Loran said it's too 'physical' ... *grins*

and the best is ... they played one of my fav songs for ME !!! ... Bricolage Circus
check out at 0:10 when Brewst says 'for you' and Loran 'for LoonAtic'
I could have kissed them ;-)


So ... after that cool concert and quite some beer and lots of laughing and trying to explain stuff in english 'very slowly' ... *sniggers* ... I sure want to see them again ... hopefully in October ...
(and I so wish I could see them on June 10 in Lille together with Tyson Boogie and Bam!! ...
why is it so expensive to travel those 450km !!??!!)

Days like that make me forget any other life ... lol

TOXIC WASTE ... you guys ROCK !!!
