Is there such a thing as “tummy surfing”? Who knows but it certainly looks like there is given my watery pose in this sodden SIM!! 😀

As I mentioned at my Flickr post, I am absolutely loving the new skins that Glam Affair has as their gacha offering at the latest round of The Epiphany. The skins are priced at 100 lindens per play and there are twelve possible prizes – ten commons and two RARES. What’s really great about the offerings is that each makeup/skin is eminently wearable if you like standing out from the crowd, which Alles does. The only downside is that the applier only works on CATWA heads – but that makes me glad that I got a CATWA head a few moths ago!!

Alles is wearing:

In Memory of Eddie Cochran

I’m gonna raise a fuss, I’m gonna raise a holler
About a workin’ all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date
My boss says, “No dice son, you gotta work late”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do
But there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.

“Summertime Blues” was recorded and co-written by the American rockabilly artist Eddie Cochran in 1958 – almost sixty years ago now. The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 29, 1958 – which was four days before his twentieth birthday. Sadly he died in England whilst on tour in April 1960, when he was only twenty-one years old.

Regarding Wyeth

Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) is regarded as one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century. Some even regard him as America’s best-known painter.

In his art, Wyeth’s favourite subjects were the land and people around him, both in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and at his summer home in Cushing, Maine. Wyeth often noted: “I paint my life.” One of the best-known images in 20th-century American art is his painting Christina’s World, currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This tempera was painted in 1948, when Wyeth was 31 years old.

The woman crawling through the tawny grass was the artist’s neighbour in Maine, who, crippled by polio, “was limited physically but by no means spiritually.” Wyeth further explained, “The challenge to me was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless.” He recorded the arid landscape, rural house, and shacks with great detail, painting minute blades of grass, individual strands of hair, and nuances of light and shadow. In this style of painting, known as magic realism, everyday scenes are imbued with poetic mystery.

So when I set myself up in the blog image using one LouLou Teichmann’s many poses, I noticed that from behind I kinda resembled the pose taken by Christina in Wyeth’s painting. And so I went ahead and constructed this scene.

As for my worn details, the bits of Alles that are visible to the camera are decked out in the following:
