Bonjour!

Bonjour! I'd like to first apologize for not posting.. I have been exhausted, and spent all of yesterday painting my sisters house for her move.. ( I didn't remember how difficult it was before I started! ) Regardless, I'm thrilled to see such positive feedback on "30 Days of Summer" - Which starts in just two more days! I hope everyone is as pumped as I am. What ideas do you guys have so far for themes? I know i've been rattling with tons of cute theme ideas, and I can't wait to see how they will play out. Also bloggers, and blog readers.. Promote it! We want lots of people to participate and lots of readers to know and read all the blogs every day. Thanks to everyone who's already been spreading the word. I need to hire some sort of managers to find bloggers for me hehe.. Anyways, Today was Absolut Modeling Agencys fashion show for "AL'OL Shapes" I was sadly not on the runway today, but I did stay to watch. After the show, Mayra (The owner) spotted me and called me backstage where I was wearing this fancy "french" inspired yellow number. "Malika is so pretty!"
I hope you like ^^

Neopolitan Dreams
Theme: French

You'll go and I'll be okay,
I can dream the rest away.
Its just a little touch of fate, it will be okay.
It sure takes its precious time, but it's got rights and so have I.

I turn my head up to the sky
I focus one thought at a time
I do not let the little thieves under my tightly buttoned sleeves
You couldn't be alone, the time I feel like I am walking blind
I have nowhere, I'll have time

You wait your turn in the queue,
You say your sorry's and thank you's.
I don't think you're ever
A hundred percent in the room

Deepest, of the dark nights
here lies, the highest of highs
Neopolitan Dreams, stretching out to the sea

30 Days of Summer Ad!

My 'Fashion Emergency' friend Jessica Pennent made me this lovely ad for 30 days of summer.
As everyone knows I am incapable of making any ads myself.
If anyone else would like to offer their photo shopping skills and make a ad, feel free to send me them. I am also looking for someone to make my blog header, as I suck too much to do it myself.
But for now, I really like this ad so bloggers participating in 30 days of summer are welcome to use it to post on their blogs to advertise the challenge.
I urge bloggers to post about it, and get people excited, even tell other blogger buddies about it.
And if you're a reader, ask your favorite bloggers about it! This will be a fun way to find creative new outfits and find some fun new blogs in the process..
It's 4 am here, and I have to go paint my sisters house in the AM before she moves, hehe.
So I better take off! I hope to see all of you on August 10th to kick off 30 days of summer!

oh and you can see more pictures of 30 Days of Summer ads, as well as join the flickr "30 days of summer" group here

Spinnin' back the tracks

30 days of summer is off to a great start, I've had some good feedback, It's just a matter of me getting my lazy butt up to let people know about it. Regardless, I did have time to sneak in one outfit today and get some pictures in. I initially based the theme off of "Aqua" and constructed what I thought was a really cute outfit.. I even changed out of my vive9 skins for once in a great while! The look ended up looking every "Rich shopping on a beach resort" to me, and I looked for a place with a beach boardwalk.. What I found though it what I can venture to say is the cutest "Old fashioned" Ice cream parlor i've ever been too.. I've always been a huge hippie child, So I loved the retro 80's feel.. and go figure! The walls actually matched my outfit. I instantly grabbed a few shots, and even decided to do some shameless "30 Days of Summer" Self promotion.

Lollipop
Theme: Aqua

I wish that I were a Bubble Gum,
chewing on me, baby, all day long
I will be begging for sweet delight,
until you say I'm yours tonight

I wish that you were my Lollipop
Sweet things, I will never get enough
If you show me to the sugar tree,
will you give me a sodapop for free?

30 days of summer blogger challenge!

That is my thinking face. and do you know what i'm thinking? Summer is almost over!
and there hasn't been any really good blogger challenges lately.. so, i'm doing a bold step and making my own!

My blogger challenge is called "30 Days of Summer" (Yes, like the brand new movie '500 days of summer', just shorter!)
The task is simple.. every day starting on August 10th for 30 straight days, bloggers will be urged to blog a single outfit based on a theme. This theme can be a color, a animal, a place, anything and everything. Every day you post a picture (and the outfit) you will give a poem, story, quote, or song lyric to synchronize the two. However, the poems/story/quote/song lyrics DONT have to relate to the theme itself, just the mood of the picture. Sounds easy enough, yes?
Please if you're a blogger, participate and spread the word as the starting date is approaching quickly. Also, please send a IM or notecard to Malika Marville in world if you will be participating and I will link you to my blog as well as have a "Master list" of everyone.

Without further blabbering heres my look and a example of what "30 days of summer" will be about.

My Lips Like Sugar
Theme: Pink

My lips like sugar

This candy got you sprung
So call me your sugar
You love you some
I’m sweet like
Da double dee double di
I’m sweet like
Da double dee double di
Sugar

Gone to Retorville!

Phew! I've been gone for so long! I miss blogging! D;
I'm like a blogaholic, i've been having withdraws.
Anyways, I haven't been on because my laptop charger broke and it took 2 weeks of mistakes and hastle to get it back.
I've had a lot of things to catch up on, so expect a huge swarm of posts within the next day or so.

But, I will start off with a PLACE SPOTLIGHT!
So wheres the perfect date spot on SL? DecRetropia a really cute 50s inspired retroville.

It has rollerskating, a killer diner, a tattoo shop, home decor, a brothel, *takes breath* and much much more. It's a really neat sim, and I managed to pick up some really cute knick knacks while I was there. Everything is 50s inspired, so go change into your wear, grab a partner and head down to experience a really fun place as well as perfect picture spot for old souls. You can even buy a antique race car like the one pictured!




However, if you do stop by the tattoo shop like me.. go prepared! They have a booth all set and ready to ink your skin! It was my first.. but hey! I stuck through the pain like a trooper! (Sorta..)

The city of love

ah, what a beautiful day it is in lil ole paris!
I have been meaning to blog outfits instead of new releases, but really had no inspiration until now. I watched the movie 'While she was out' and although that is not exactly the happiest movie.. It did inspire me to go out! Even if it was just on Sl.. Paris is so beautiful under these lighting settings *sighs contently* Oh, alright, alright. I'll confess. Maybe I didn't actually go to paris.. But I did go to trilogy which is just as breathtaking.

Like I was saying earlier, I've constructed a outfit based entirely off of older items i've had in my inventory. You'll find I do this a lot.. The whole throw on things at random, be inspired by one thing or another and construct a whole outfit out of it. In my opinion, it always turns out nicely. Well, what are you waiting for?! Go be inspired! Maybe you'll even find a little of your own amour in the city of love :)
