Left of Center

8 November 2013

Song by Suzanne Vega (here)

"If you want me you can find me

Left of center off of the strip

In the outskirts and in the fringes

In the corner out of the grip"

Once again, there was a concept crisis. I knew I was not ready to do the act that was next in line in my season's agenda, so I looked around to see what I could manage. A trip to the roller skating rink of my youth emerged. 

 I had done an 80's hunt a while back and got some really cool clothes. I did buy the skates, since the ones I had were just not cool enough.  As a former derby girl, I am very particular about my skates.

I worked damn hard on this one and bought a lot of skating anims. It was a different type of choreo and synching with the mover was as challenge. But a fun one, I just wish I had those moves when I was a young rink rat.

The best part of the set came from Ender's inventory.  The creator had long since disappeared, so I could not buy my own, and had to use him as an alt to get it there. But it worked out quite well.

Hanging in the arcade would have been a wholely different scene in this outfit.
