Baby, Its Cold Outside


12/25/12

Song performed by Glee Cast's Kurt and Blaine

This song has always been one of my few favorite Holiday songs and last year when I saw Glee's version, I died.  Having the two gay boys do it was like a dream come true.  I would have loved to do it as a duet, but it was not in the cards this time, not sure about the rules of having a friend perform with you.
So I knew what song I wanted to do and I asked my RL partner what concept I should go with, the answer, without hesitation was "Yetis in an igloo."  Well believe it or not yetis are not on Marketplace or any of the furry stores that I know of (which is not too many).  But I did find this statue of Bumble, the Abominable Snowman from the old stop action animation holiday tv show, so I ran with it and was able to make a matching costume.  I had to off a polar bear, but it worked, quite awesomely, I think.
Renae helped me with choreo, I loved having the two of us together on it.  She just slapped on an outfit that she had, leave it to her to have the perfect thing at the perfect time.

**Heat Miser Alert**
And the finale was tossing fur coats from Curio Obscura's Pile O' Stuff.  It was just the right touch!

Constant Craving


12/15/12

Song by k.d.lang

The song was on my list, and I was thinking about the holidays and how I am not really inspired by x-mas music, but I am inspired by chocolate and the rich luscious voice of k.d..  Then *POW* it happened.  It does not matter what time of the year it is but the craving is made worse by the abundance of chocolates and other sweets at this time of the year.
I can say it was one of the more challenging sets to make and costumes to pick out.  I was not pleased with many of my choices except for the final picks.  I spent a lot of time and money acquiring what I was mostly satisfied with in the end.  
The choreo and chocolate fountain made me the happiest though!

What a delightfully Oooey, Gooey mess!
Love the Anti-Depressant Heels fro Grimm Bros.

One On One


12/1/12

Song by TheBird and the Bee covering Hall and Oates


Cherry needed someone to fill in and I jumped on it with this act that I had in my back pocket.  It is the first act I ever really put together.  I was just learning how to choreograph with my Barre HUD.  



It is also another little dose of the 80's with the intent of having a retro outfit.  The tank top was from the Born This Way Hunt from my first year in SL.


This is the outfit that I accidentally boxed up some of the parts of.  The red bloomers and knee socks were in a freebie outfit that otherwise was not worth the cut.  So when I performed this in my one woman show (for my friends) I was actually nekkid on the bottom half and had to scrounge around for a while to find some knee socks and a decent pair of undies that would work.

My friends got a lot more crack than the GB audience did.  Another level of meaning to "Friends with Benefits"

In the upper center of the pic is my pet hawk "Accipitrix."  She was thrilled to be on stage and to get to stalk the congress of pigeons below.
