We all have our idols, whether they be musicians, artists, singers, models, celebutante's, politicians, authors, or philosophers. I know who some of my style icon's have been over the years, mostly people whom I identified with in one way or another. My first big fashion icon was Janet Jackson, I mean I literally had orange hair when she had orange hair, bought a key earing when I was eight, and rocked it...like I was Miss J. I am also a huge fan of Kelis, because to be honest I feel like she and I could be sistah's from a different mistah. I have always been a bit of an odd ball I love beauty that is tweaked, that makes your mind rethink the concept.
In SL I think it is sometimes hard to find your personal style, because clothes always fit...for the most part, and you can change your style completely whenever you want. Plus just in real life it is partially a matter of how you want other's to see you. Another thing is, that our personal style evolves in sl, which personally I feel always effects my personality. Maybe I am the only one. Recently Lelutka released IFE dark...and I who sent them a few notecards etc...about making another dark skin, felt as though my prayers had been answered. I received a message from my friend Nico, in my email box, and I dropped everything and logged in.
There are some great darker skin toned skins out there but like everyone I have my check off list. I LOVE Lelutka, because they release items often, and their skins, are just me. When I slid on IFE. Something changed, clicked, I just felt very right. The look is way more polished and more regal than I typically go for, but as I get older and embrace my unique looks, and become more polished in real life, maybe it is time for the more mature me to be reflected in SL. I tossed on some boon hair... and felt like I was channeling Aliyah, who is one of my bestfriends in real lifes personal style icons. I always thought she was gorgeous, and I recently just watched Queen of the Damned again at like 2am on a Friday morning. so here are some pics.
