Keeping It Clean

This is one of those posts where I start off with text, and likely a considerable amount, just to give you an opportunity to skip away from here if you need to.

There's a lot of skin, but no actual bits showing.

There are no scandalous activities, unless semi-nude laundry room time makes you point and giggle and whisper eagerly to the nearest thing with listening capabilities.

This post was the product of a recent blogger pack I received in which there was a tattoo that I didn't want to take off and didn't want to cover with clothes.

The tattoo, from Cannibelle, took me to a familiar, comfortable place in my SL world.

Retro, rockabilly, pin up pretty.

It made me smile, and I wrestled with sets and costumes and themes and -- yes, I probably overthought it.

But. Hopefully, you like it a just a little bit anyway.

I built a diner. I built a stage.

I dug up vinyl booths and formica-topped tables. I hunted down microphones and amps.

I dragged out art from Killing Moon Records. I hunted down pieces I'd acquired at gallery shows.

I moved pieces around and spent a ridiculous amount of time hanging out in my underwear or nothing at all with a serious builder face on.

Eventually, I decided the bare skin might-maybe-could make sense in a laundry room or some other domestic situation, and not out in public with all sorts of reasons why to think of for being all nearly-buff-bare there.

Perhaps I was being overly-literal.

Regardless, I had an excuse to get out my old RC Cluster home-making appliances and things, and I took it.

With that idea set, I was finally able to start taking pictures.

I'm not a fast worker when it comes to blogs, but this one took an exceptionally long thinking time.

Perhaps its the time of year, the quiet exhaustion of the home stretch into next year all bogged up by holiday thoughts and random other stresses.

I'm glad it came together as easily as it did once I had my mind set.

With laundry gear in place, I hunted down "domestic" pin ups -- svelte ladies engaged in home-like tasks of awesome.

And. Now. Here were are.

Happy Day-You-Read-This!
