Homage to the Women of Metal

I recently had a conversation with a friend on Facebook about ladies of Symphonic Metal. Although it is a well known genre and loved by many, it is not something I see posted often on Facebook or talked about in general. So when a great band popped up, I was all too willing to jump in on the convo. I also have a good friend on Flickr who made many awesome tributes to Rock Gods...but not one woman was featured. I've never understood why women often get left in the background of the Metal genre in general, when they can rock out just as hard, and just as passionately as any of the men can. There's nothing I find more awesome than a woman on stage singing her heart out, sweating and head banging with the best of them!
Etchaflesh dropped this one on me the other day and although I thought of the many ways I would pose...after that convo, I knew how this had to be done.

This is my homage to the women of metal. Not only the ones that are the singers, but the ones that kick ass on instruments as well! We salute you with horns up babeh!! <3

Grind It!

You know, when I decided to be a blogger, one of the biggest things I focused on was learning photoshop. I wanted to make sure my pictures looked their best. I only recently was able to buy a tablet to do more detailed editing but let me tell you how much I love these creators in SL that have made hair that is seemingly in motion! I remember back in my old SL days I would see this hair and just look at it in confusion and never realized how much of a SL photographers dream it was. I've still added highlights for a bit more realism and strands where it was glitched in my sweater but the hair is awesome on its own. 

So after I saw this badassery of a hoodie dress and matched it with my Eudora kicks, I knew what I wanted to do next. Yep, Grind it! Skateboarding! Although categorized as a predominantly male past time, skateboarding is enjoyed by many females. Ones I admire very much. 

Also, it's a given that Gia loves her Breaking Bad. I fell in love with my hoodie dress as soon as I saw it. I had a ton of fun with this post. I need to get on skateboards more often!
