Bright Colors Spin in the Sun

Her breath blows on a pinwheel
On this, a young summer day
The innocence none can steal
And no one can make us pay

Cool mint is now in the air
Bright colors spin in the sun
Everything now seems fair 

All that's left is having fun
Time don't matter anymore
All of our work has been done
All problems swept from the floor.

A Stroke of Luck

You say that you'll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break
You'll never change me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down and
All around me falling

Stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now

Don't ask me why
Don't even try 

A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down and
All around me falling

Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling....

Beauty School Dropout

Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout),
Hanging around the corner store.
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout),
It's about time you knew the score.

Well they couldn't teach you anything,
You think you're such a looker,
But no customer would go to you 

unless she was a hooker!

 Baby don't sweat it (Don't sweat it),
You're not cut out to hold a job.
Better forget it (Forget it),
Who wants their hair done by a slob?

Now your bangs are curled, 

your lashes whirled,

 but still the world is cruel.
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school!

I Broke the Glass That Surrounded Me

I'm breakin' down
Gonna start from scratch
Shake it off like an etch-a-sketch
My lips are saying goodbye
My eyes are finally dry
I'm not the way that I used to be
I took the record off repeat
It killed me but I survived
And now I'm coming alive
I'll never be that girl again
No oh oh

My innocence is wearin' thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me
Miss movin' on
Oh oh oh
I broke the glass that surrounded me 

I ain't the way you remember me 

I was such a good girl
So fragile but no more
I jumped the fence to the other side 

My whole world was electrified 

Now I'm no longer afraid
It's Independence Day

The Pirate Queen

But when you have a dream
And you're caught in its grip
You can climb aboard a ship
You can -
You can for you're a man!

You can reach toward that place
Where the earth meets the sky
Fight a battle be brave, be true
If you can do it, why not I?

I'm meant to fly
Sail unrestrained
Why is man free and woman chained?
Is that my epitaph before I die?

I should be free
Free to be Grace
So I can feel the wind on my face!
And when life beckons, I should go
Face out the storm, not stay below
Am I to be just woman? No! Not I!

Only Human

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human...

Best Day of My Life

I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah-oh-oh
Woah-oah-oah-oah-oah-oh-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah-oh-oh
Oah-oah-oah-oah-oah-oh-oh

I'm never gonna look back
Woah never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now

This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ii-ife
Oo-o-o-o-o-o
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ii-ife
This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gonna be
The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now
Oo-o-o-o-o-o
This is gonna be the best day of my l-ii-fe
My li-i-i-i-i-ii-ife

Learn To Fly

We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright...

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high.
Make my way back home when I learn to...

...fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own

The Heist ~ My Arcade Photo Contest Entry

The Arcade ended yesterday and although I absolutely loved everything the designers offered as usual, I didn't really get a chance to blog about it. Too busy doing other things and finding what makes me happy in SL! When I did see all the monetary products Sorgo had for its gacha, I just knew what type of picture I wanted to do for the contest. I immediately built a casino heist scene in my head and after days of procrastination, I got to work building it from Sorgo's items as well as many other Arcade finds.

I have to give special thanks to my friends though for their help: Katja, thank you for your artistic eye and suggestions for furniture placement, Zaidee, thank you for loaning me the bag of money that I spent 100's of lindens trying to win and unfortunately didn't, and Nick, thank you for being my model when no one else had the time to do so. You all rock! <3

Oh and the pic! Good luck to all who entered the contest this round. There are some amazing entries!
