Exile released a new hairstyle yesterday named Adam, which made me think of Adam Lambert and inspired me to do a photo for the SL 365 days group in the style of his For Your Entertainment album cover. It’s not an exact replica, but I think it has some of the same elements.

After I finished the photo and was thinking about whether or not I’d blog about it, I thought it might be fun to see if others wanted to share an album cover and an inspired look on their blogs. Is anybody up for that? If you do one, then comment here or IM me to let me know. I’d love to see the outfits, and I might even find some new music.

Several people have been talking recently about Second Life 365 Days where you upload a self portrait a day for 365 days. It’s something I’d been thinking about doing for a while, but I wanted to start it on a special day like my rezday or birthday or something similar, and those days kept going by without me ever starting the project. Then today I noticed on my profile that it’s my 1000th day in SL, so it felt like a good time to begin.

I’m kicking off my series with a nod to all those photos my mom had to take each year on the first day of school. I bought the dress from Tyranny Designs during 50L Friday a couple of weeks ago specifically because it reminded me of elementary school. The tights and shiny flats were the perfect companions to continue the look. Since I was already neck-deep in nostalgia, I decided to play with that a bit and use the attic prefab along with a few whimsical items that have a vintage feel to them.

I don’t think I’ll be blogging all of my photos for the 365 days project here, but I’ll probably share a few now and then. If you’re interested in the others, then I’ll be adding them to my SL 365 Days set on Flickr.
