The Break is OVER!!!!

For the past 3 months there has been no Eye on the Grind posts. After some very cool RL issues as purchasing a house, and graduating with a post-graduate degree, I am glad to finally have some time to get back to the blog page! I need to shop and read everyone's blogs and catch up! But for now, the Rockabilly fair has provided a quick hit for me! My friend Zhoraz Zhora (Miss Z) TPd me to the fair and despite the laggy fair atmosphere, I scored some goods. I love the T-Bird jacket from Pelle the most and rock it here at Miss Z's very own spot "Vinyls". I La La Love this place and always wanted to blog it and will more than likely catch Miss Z for another shoot here or at her Art Deco designed lounge at the Rubb. The art work there is phenomenal and is quite seductive, but that is for later!

Visiting the Bronx...@ Mad City

I have seen dozens of posts done at Mad City and instantly recognize it every time. I guess because it reminds me of parts of the Bronx where I lived for a few years and the sim evokes that from me. I love the feel of the sim and the windlight they use there but decided to black and white as it feels like an old place to me. There is also a rainy part of the sim that looks great with the bubbling ground animation. I saw an umbrellaed SL resident (Dawnia Donogal) in the background of a few shots I took (you can see her in the background) and as I got closer asked if she would be in a closer shot. Dawnia was nice enough to hang out with her umbrella open and provide information on her outfit as well! I love SL for all the incidental things, the spontaneous things that happen that truly mock life's unpredictable moments. Here is the shoot.

Channeling DEVO

I always enjoy the 5th-of-the-month opening of the Mens Dept and look forward to new fashion. This month had some new designers throw their pieces in and it is a worthwhile stop. The prices seem to be rising where items had a 75 to 150L price, but overall I feel good when I spend there. Lots of quality items, liquid mesh, and pleasing to the eye textures for mens fashion. I added new hair from Truth, 2Real sneakers, and glasses from Deco that make me feel like I'm channeling DEVO.
