Hollow man.

Hollow man by Starr Joles.

Featuring Marxx Portal.

This piece was something that I had on my computer for awhile. But I've had it in my head for even longer.

It all started with a group gift that was released in Del May's shop.

She posted a pic of it on her flickr:

Click here to see it!

And I thought to myself:

"How intimate."

So after I swung through Del May's shop and got the pose I ended up altering my default shape into one of a statuesque model and then snapping some pics of her being a tall voluptous model:

Then the vague nugget of the idea for "Hollow man." came to being.
So I hit my good friend Marxx Portal up and he ended up taking some pics of me before I asked him to pose with me with Del May's new pose "Do not disturb."

We teleported over to "The city" sim.
I put on my prim wings and played around with my windlights.
This was around the period of time that I was obsessed with having my skies and atmosphere looking pink.
Then I just snapped away until I found an angle that I liked.
I set out to edit it that night because I really wanted to execute my idea of "Hollow man." while it was still fresh in my mind.

I did.
It was glorious.
Then GIMP froze and crashed on me during my saving process.

-_-"

That's basically what I did after I had to reboot my laptop.

So FOR MONTHS! I had the raw shot of "Hollow man." sitting on my hard drive. And I literally FEARED touching it again.

So I left it.

Then when I did my last fashion blog post I thought to myself:
"I WANT to edit that picture again and finish and then share it."

So I did. (Again) here's my before and after shots:

The first time I took to editing it I was listening to an artist from my hometown by the name of Justin Nozuka.

His songs are literally done in true "story telling" form. Which is a style that is somewhat lost to todays music. But Michael Jackson was KING of that sort of style.
"Smooth criminal" is a great example of that.

Anywho, I decided to listen to 2 songs from Justin:

and

I liked the title and overall message of Justin Nozuka's "Hollow men." but it didn't fit the story I had built in my mind for my picture.

The title however VERY much resonated with the story of the picture. So I ran with "Hollow man." for my title.

Now....."Swan in the water" basically tells the story of the man in the picture (Marxx Portal) and why an angel (My avatar) would be paying him a vist.

for this post; this is all the writing I'm going to do.

I will not write you the story of "Hollow man."

But....

I do encourage you to listen to the songs that inspired me.

They tell the story just as well as I ever could.

Enjoy.

"It's hard to do these things alone...."

"Just a look.....and that's all it took."

Mean mugging 'cause I'm out here waiting for you.

Where the fuck are you?

I'm here at our spot. Pacing in front of the gates where we will have our first kiss.

Yes, where we will first kiss.

I'm a woman of intuition.

Mines NEVER get ignored.

So when I woke up this morning, rolled out of my bed in my 1 bedroom apartment loft.

My very lonely loft.

I knew that once I stepped out the door and walked to the park around the corner that it wouldn't be so lonely after today.

This oh so fated day.

That I'd meet my Prince charming.

I had a premention about him over a year ago one night as I slept.

I remember it so vividly.

It was a chilly yet bright September morning.

I get dressed in some black and white.

Which is actually trending this season this year.

I deck myself out in fur and thigh high boots.

Classy as fuck.

I accessorize with gold.

Per usual.

And put on my favourite plum lipstick from Essences.

I grab my Reckless Ambitions ostrich duffle bag and my zulu phone and head out.

Fate told me that at 6:15 am on September 18, 2013 in front of these god damn gates of this park....

That I'd finally meet you, hug you, kiss you and love you.

.......

It's now 11:36am.

Where the fuck are you?

Not even Hammer can touch this!

Starr joles: "Feelin' wild tonight. Just got my hurr did. Went back on my indigo tips. I got my gold on...I got my pink Glance lipstick on. And I got these new flyy glasses from SYL and this whole outfit from SYL. Feelin' myself right now, so let's get it."

Starr Joles nonchalantly looks around her. Taking in all the blondes with big titties and imaginary waists and hips around her at Barbie girl city. She smirks then subtly shakes her head then returns her gaze back to you.

Starr Joles: "They all kinda look the same huh?....And here I am with my dark skinned, freckled faced, petite body, funky purple haired self standing around like I'm too cool for school."

She chuckles.

Starr Joles: "....Shit, I am too cool for school......oh? You want a picture? Here capture this...."

Starr Joles strikes a pose with an Instagram-hipster sort of attitude complete with her tongue hanging out her mouth like Gene Simmons.

I don't wanna give you the wrong impression, I need love and affection....

She enters the dimly lit room. And peers around gloomily. She focuses on the light that is cascading in through the windows. She stares off into the distance at a memory deep in the recesses of her mind. She smiles sadly to herself. She then shakes her head to try to rid her mind of the memory, that has once again slithered its way into her skull. She then turns around to face the room again only to gasp loudly at the sight before her....

the room is now glittering.....

She slowly walks towards the piano and looks about the room in awe. As a feeling of nostalgia hits her. She begins to hum a tune that's been haunting her for awhile......

.....she closes her eyes, opens her mouth and begins to sing.....

"I don't wanna give you the wrong impression, I need love and affection...."

She trails the end note off into a vibrato. She pauses and looks about the room once more. She shakes her head and then laughs.....

She whispers. "These eyes put up a fight, but once again. These tears always win...."
