I specially like to watch Sci-Fi Movies because of the awesome costumes/ Masks they come up with. Brining to life all those Aliens, monsters and Fantasy Creatures. If you are also into the fantasy Look then you should definitely visit Rezzables still going event 2010 - the Future is now. Yes Rezzable has done it again brought together very talented SL designers to get inspired by the future. If you haven't paid a visit to the Greenies sim and got your favorite pieces of this very large collection then- what are you waiting for?

While taking pics for this, my final post for Rezzables 2010 the future is now event, I started to reminisce about Peter Pan suddenly. Believe me I know how that sounds a futuristic event and I think about Peter Pan, a kids fairytale that actually takes place in the past. Yet the outfit I am about to show off in this post reminded me of the story not really of Peter himself but his little Fairy Tinkerbelle. I don't know how old fairies actually can get, but I refuse to believe or think about fairy death. So lets say she lives now in 2010 and likes to look fly and hip and sexy :P what would she wear?

One way or another the latest fashion adventure from Rezzable mades all think about the future. Some think about their own future, others reflect in the future as a concept and the designers for 2010 - The Future Is Now translated into clothing showing us how they perceived the future.

Cutea Benelli from Grim Bros. created the 3.6 zettabyte complete outfit (including shoes, skin and even shape which I am not using). The outfit is ultramodern with a mini skirt and a small top in a unique texture (that is almost impossible to catch on film.) To top it off, wearing the Ridley hair from Tiny Bird in Milk shade.

When it comes to the word futuristic, most people seem to think about Star Treck and Matrix like scenarios. Machines will rule the world and the Humans will live in space wear colored Pajamas or whatever lol sorry Treckies. Most are torn inside about this fact half fascinated half horrified, about a possible future where machines control/ dominate with strict organization which leads to the loss of accidents everything is planned into the last detail even the genetics of our kids. Ok It doesn't have to be exactly this disturbing, we could also be wise learn to live with our natural resources and have peace on earth -  oh sweet dream. But what if it all turns out the opposite way? What if our future isn't fully technologized for example like in the Movie Mad Max where our world is more like a dead dessert and we live more primitive again.

"Boom Boom Pow" Was the name of the first single release of the latest album by the Black Eyed Peas, the visual side of the song the Video was made in a futuristic style. Lightings, neon colors, robot like outfits and dance moves, outta space shots, mostly dark scenes with spotlight. The song and the video were a massive success for the band. I also bought the album. :D Question is why am I telling you about this? It is another perfect example that Rezzable is going with the futuristic trend with their newest Event: 2010 - The Future is Now". Where many great SL designers got inspired to create something special just for this event.

I guess we as human beings are obsessed with our future. We always think what could be, what might come - specially the most creative among us. As I do consider myself as creative, at least sometimes so I tried to imagine how plastic surgery in year 3k will look like. Will women be fully synthetic cyborgs with perfect formed hips, legs and thighs? Hopefully not! Although the trend is pointing in this direction.
 

Shards
1.  A piece of broken pottery, especially one found in an archaeological dig; a potsherd.
2.a. A fragment of a brittle substance, as of glass or metal.
b. A small piece or part: "shards of intense emotional relationships that once existed" (Maggie Scarf).
 

I am always looking forward for the future and when I stop to think about it, I see sci-fi and the futuristic scenarios from movies made decades ago and that we still consider masterpieces, like Blade Runner, where we can let all our wildest dreams run free and imagine that our future will be bright.

It is quite easy to fell in love with the beautiful dress created by Zaara to the Swan Song. The dress was inspired in the element Wind (or Air) and has a rich texture work finishing in flowing leaves.

Vayu is the hindu word for air and is generally used in the sense of the physical air or wind.
In the hymns, Vayu is "described as having 'exceptional beauty' and moving noisily in his shining coach, driven by two or forty-nine or thousand white and purple horses. A white banner is his main attribute."

Elenia is the creation for The Swansong by Kellie Iwish of Elate! and it is a dazzling dress created in colours matching the elements. This dress is in a smooth yellow reminding the soft sun rays early in the morning.

 The skin was created specially for SwanSong and comes from Pulse. The hair is the Tiny Bird contribute to SwanSong and comes with black and white feathers to choose from.
