Le Voleur De Paon

So I'm one of the 20 male models in SL currently trying to prove that they are really really really ridiculously good looking in the BOSL Mr Virtual World 2011 competition - yep, I'm Mr Iceland of course. (Transylvania was voted out of contention by the Russian judges... curse them.) I'm loving it so far - style challenges every other week WOOOOOO! - and this time it was avant garde. Which if you know me at all is really the only way I bother getting dressed in SL...





I spent several days trying to make something all spikedy and geometric, and you will see this at a later date - swear. But things evolved as they often do when your fairy godmother Monica is a bit of a creative genius, and I ended up looking as if I'd made good on my promise last month to molest Frolic's peacocks. It's okay - it's a far more fulfilling life for them as FASHION anyway.











What I'm loving on in this post - the cape is called Magus, it's by Miamai and it's not out yet sorreeeeee but the Lenoire hair is, and it's available at Hair Fair until the 15th of July. Be aware that I've modded it a fair bit though, there's meant to be some girly stuff on top. I'm still mad about my Vincent skin from Tableau Vivant, this is the January tone and I also got my Claw Pants from there too. Nuuna Nitely makes wonderful bold makeups and I'm layering several of them here, most of them from her new Version 8 makeup pack. My Taped Guts are from Sinistyle and the Sequinned Leggings are from Fishy Strawberry. Just out of view - the huge and inventive stream of cursewords from when I crashed two minutes before showtime.



I have no idea what the end results of the styling competition were, they may have announced it but I was too busy trying to untangle Winter Junior from the sequinned tights. It's also a mad giggle watching the audience wake up when the very blindingly pale man appears on the runway after the Costa Rican guy and tries to convince them that dead with shitloads of guyliner can be beautiful too.

Alone In A World That's So Cold

.....so it was just one more of those mornings where you put on new hair and think "Oh god I look like Prince AGAIN today."





Surely I can't be the only one this happens to?






I finally managed to break my month long crash-every-single-effing-time-I-take-a-photo hoodoo which is partially to blame for the fact that my blog turnaround is something like three weeks between posts now. Thank heavens for alts with almost zero inventory, eh?

Eyes - Black in Small by Fashism
Jacket - Spleen in Purple by Miamai
Ring - Archelon in Style 2 by Mandala
Gloves - Poker Gloves in Black by CheerNo
Pants - Satin Latex Pants in Purple by SN@TCH
Shoes - Gothic Platforms in Croc & Steel by LaPointe and Bastchild
Tears (not seen) - Provided by Dove Swanson

A Second Glance

So this here blog o' mine was nominated for one of the Glance Fashion Awards for "Best Indy Male Fashion Blog"- THANK YOU! They were originally due to be held last weekend but due to a vastly amusing array of technical errors the original ceremony/televising was put off till this weekend. (Amusing to the partygoers anyways, probably more of a nightmare to the Glance staff - love your work.) In Cold Blood was up against some frighteningly talented guys such as Carthalis, Bronson, Ryan and James, Till and Laika of The SLipsters who quite deservedly won. This vampire was quite happy to just go along for the ride and the people watching... and by that I mean totally Blackwelling everyone in IM with Irving Daschund of SN@TCH. But it's anathema to a guy with my inventory size to be seen in public wearing the same thing twice, so I had to mix it up for the second week. First week's personal red carpet manifesto was "Dark Elegance."







Here I'm wearing the Couture Tuxedo from LaPointe and Bastchild with the Brent skin from CheerNo and Reject hair from rQ. I'm also having a hard time trying to NOT wear the Connor Prim Gloves from Miamai every single day, and to add some interest I bought the Duke Orellana Silk Cape from Los Texanos Beaux Arts and modded it up a bit to my taste.


For the second week? I just thought WHAT THE HELL and totally went Winter Jefferson.








If you didn't know I was a total Lady Gaga fan by now then this is the first time you've come across my blog, and then hai, be aware of the occasional F bomb, and yes that is mostly women's clothing I'm wearing. But when Faint Paulse of Ladies Who Lunch released the Bad Romance coat for Chic Limited then I was all over it in nanoseconds. I'm upping the floof factor with the Irene hair from Boudoir, and wearing the Archelon necklace and piercings from Mandala. My make up is a custom from Miamai - sorry - but again I have on the Connor gloves, and also wearing the top from her Hine leggings as my belt. Pants are the Noxious Leggings from Osakki and it's all finished off with the Strapped Boots from my new boot obsession store, *LightStar*


And of course this is being posted just a few hours after Gaga released her video for "Born This Way." If you don't hear from me for a while don't worry; I'll just be camping on Faint's doorstep whining at her for shoulder implants and a full body skeleton tattoo.

The Shaman Of Geometry

So I'm one of those people who does heaps of different things in SL, none of them particularly well if I have to admit it. Hey - if you've seen the pics on this blog, then you know what I'm talking about. Asides blogging I also fall off the ends of runways with style and grace occasionally. Yep; I'm a wannabe Zoolander. So when I saw a modelling competition hosted by Opium recently named the "I AM FIERCE WALKOFF" then there was no stopping me from working up my best Blue Steel. We were given total freedom to style and choreo ourselves, and this is what I ended up strutting in.



Luckily the judges also thought I was somewhat fierce; even after I submitted the wankiest outfit inspiration statement in the history of both worlds. I swear; I did NOT know it was going to be read out...

"I decided upon the theme of "Shaman of Geometry" and explored the physics and aesthetics of form. I discovered what happens when you combine it with the absolute purity of dark and light. Then I added lashings of sexual energy, poured it all into this performance... and I ribbed it for your pleasure."

I'm pretty sure that the audience's groans could be heard from space.




I'll be doing a proper review of it here in the next few days; but you are looking at my newest skin obsession, "Brent" by CheerNo. I'm wearing "Lux" in Skunk by MADesigns hair; "Bardot" eyeliner - yes I said eyeliner - by Kyoot @ Kozmetika; "Archelon" piercings by Rozoregalia; "Macabre Warrior" shoulder armour by LeLutKa. The white shrug is a custom from Miamai - sorry - but you can find these "Marcus" prim gloves there now. Bottom half I have the "Punk Not Dead X2" belt from N-Creation slithering down over my "Maya Pants" in Black and "Iveeyyyyyy omg can you please make these in white too pleeease?" from SN@TCH halfway hidden by the "Pirate Thigh Boots" by *LightStar* finishing with the "BlackBalled" spinal installation from El Jefe!

I had an absolute ball in this comp and if you are an aspiring model (or just a total attention hoar like I am) then you should go for the next quarterly Walkoff in April. But make sure that you take your own Monica Outlander or Honour McMillan to keep you sane too. Thanks ladies!

When Five Year Old Princesses Get Their Way

[2011/01/12 00:41] monica Outlander: I will make the Raven gown and sell it 100% for EaHH
[2011/01/12 00:41] monica Outlander: the princess gown and named after her of course!
[2011/01/12 00:42] monica Outlander: Pink, glitter, sparkles and what else she said?
[2011/01/12 00:42] Winter Jefferson: Hearts and butterflies!!!
[2011/01/12 00:42] monica Outlander: I guess it would not fit YOU for your blog XD
[2011/01/12 00:42] Winter Jefferson: Like hell it won't, imma blog it anyways. Name a dress after my daughter, its the LEAST I can do!





So... umm... this is why I'm dragging it up here on In Cold Blood again after promising not to. I promise it will look far better on you than it does me, and there is a good reason for you to want this too. 100% of the sales of this brand new gown "Raven Sparklefairy" by Miamai are going to the Extend A Helping Hand event at Adien sim to provide funds to the victims of the floods in Queensland Australia. This is the only location you'll be able to find this dress, along with a collection from some of SL's most generous and talented designers, and organised by the amazing Sanura Sakai, an artist based in QLD. They have an array of items for sale that you'll want regardless of the charitable intent behind them. All money raised will be going to the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal which you can find at that link if you prefer direct donations.

Just as important as money though is keeping the well being of these poor people in your hearts and minds; although some of the flood waters have peaked we still don't see an end in sight, and there are still many people missing. More than one million square miles of Queensland which is 11000 homes and 75% of the state has been declared a disaster area. It's a long road back to normality, especially as the economy of this state has been crippled for as long as we can see. And with your help they will manage it.

"As we weep for what we have lost, and as we grieve for family and friends and we confront the challenge that is before us, I want us to remember who we are. We are Queenslanders. We're the people that they breed tough, north of the border. We're the ones that they knock down, and we get up again." ~ Premier Anna Bligh.

Hearts At Stake

This is Khalon Helmet; the new work of wonder by MissAllSunday Lemon of Wasabi Pills of whom I am an unabashed fan. Thinking about it - there is no abash in my vocabulary really... probably not in the dictionary either. Remind me to go look later. Anyways it comes in several different configurations of mask/no mask/helmet, and it's touch texture change for hair colour. I'm also wearing the Hellfire eyes from The Plastik, Yes Sir #4 Makeup by La Malvada Mujer, Darkened Heart by Bare Rose, and looking all pointedy with the Reaper Scythes from [T.King]

And yes, human beings were harmed in the creation of this blog.

I Believe

Strawberry Singh asked us in her recent blog post "What Do You Believe In?"

I Believe That Everybody Matters.

This took 9 hours to do, surely even the most dedicated social climber wouldn't bother with that much effort.

Love, Winter.

Prince of Sands

Yes; incredibly well made RP clothes for men. They do exist. Many thanks go to Vasean Talamasca for dragging me to Zaige Lumiere, a brand new label over a year in the making from an old time player. Every prim is perfectly placed, each texture is unique, there's a broad range of colours available for each outfit, and each ensemble comes with a shit ton of options inside the box. It took me as long to decide what configuration I was going to wear them in as this post did to shoot.



"Lust" in Blue



"Wrath" in Black

There's a great selection of complete ensembles - including boots - for Masters, Kajiru and even a few barely there outfits for the Seelie folk. I bypassed the silks because I decided that you have all seen enough of my buttcrack for the moment. Cherish these moments of thoughtfulness guys; I don't have them often.




Also shown - Skin is Belleza Shawn Tan 5, Hair is Maitreya Green II in Chocolate for the top pic, Maitreya Bo in Chocolate for the second. Weapons are all from Azora.

Nothing But Net

Because I love tattoo layers with the passion of a thousand rockets fired directly into the heart of the sun.



And no matter what I do, I can't enable shadows in SL. Do you realise how embarrassing that is for a vampire? That's supposed to be our prime skulking territory.



And also because I finally scrambled my way back here to my blog after computer problems, graphics problems and just generally a lack of blogging mojo. Yes; I know everyone has already done this hair, and then moved on to the new Clawtooth. Yet here I am today - and not wearing it in white - showing it with these perfect leather pants.



I know. I don't do anything when, or as I'm supposed to. But didn't you miss that just a little?

The best part is that it's free until the 30th of September if you can find your 100% match on the Fortune Teller. You get both male and female versions as your gift. Make sure you take a bunch of friends, it's so very worth it.



Hair - Savage in Geode by Exile

It's My Blog And I Suck At Doing What I'm Supposed To On It..

..and so this isn't a fashion post at all. This is so I can show you how amazingly talented my friend Monica Outlander of Miamai is.

Purple Is A Fruit

Tattoo layer hairbases are completely awesome. Especially now that a few enlightened creators are making them in white. I wear mohawks a lot, in case you've never seen my blog before. And a lot of times I like to mainstream these up a bit and go fauxhawk by softening the look with a white base.

Then there's days when I just want to admire the light bouncing off my pale skull.



I'm also still utterly in love with this Josh teeth skin by Kento. I now also own so many different colour change options of the Gos Docs that I'm in danger of bringing down every sim I port into.

Crouching Tiger, Posing Vampire

I've been lacking inspiration to blog recently; not counting the uberquick skin splooge before this entry I haven't been "feeling it" for weeks. I've hella been busy with some magazine and modelling projects; but every time I opened up this blogpage it was just a case of us staring at each other blankly. Till two things happened; the Zhang Yimou wuxia movie Hero was on TV the other night, and the next day I came across Ocean Blackthorne's Flickr stream.

I can't come anywhere near this guy's general amazingness but I took inspiration from his work, the fact that Bare Rose turns 5 this weekend - Congratulations June, Tori and your team! - and the katanas that I bought recently and haven't yet had a chance to blood. So this is my spin on the wuxia zeitgeist.
