So If You’re Free…

May 12, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

I heard on plurk today that there was a Fibromyalgia Fair going on and thought I had a bit of free time and should check it out. I was really pleasantly surprised, it’s a totally CUTE little fair with VERY NICE items for sale from creators I had heard of.

Basically, that’s a win to me. Also, for those of you who like a fun freebie, there were freebies at every station and many are cute and worth having.

I picked up this grocery bag pose prop item called FIRST NIGHT and figured, if this really hot lawyer chick I know is free, she could come over and I’ll make dinner and stuff.

Asking someone to come over, is asking them to come have sex. Asking them to come over and you’ll make dinner, means, there will be sex – plus you’ll cater. I AM SO DOMESTIC OMG.

This skin is FREE at the Fibromyalgia fair, from FELONY. That alone makes the TP worth your while.

Pop over and check out what is for sale and support a worthy cause.

You know, I went to the shops and got some stuff.

Style Notes:
Top: KOSH- DORA CAMISOLE -eggplant- Free at Fibromyalgia Fair
Skin: Adam n Eve Victoria Manicure Red

22769 reasons to go shopping NOW!!!

May 12, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

Hello, lovelies! I hope you’re all doing good

22769 has released its mesh Ethnic/African inspired collection with awesome tube dresses and tops in different patterns, silk miniskirts and shorts and what i consider the best piece of the collection, a gorgeous turban called ”The Badu”.
The Badu, of course. Erykah docet.

Enjoy:

More pictures after the cut!

Turban, top, highwaist shorts and dress are all part of the fabulous new mesh collection.

I love the textures, the patterns, the colours of all of them, but, most of all, i totally fell for the turban, a great piece of art.

*_*

The tube dress in the following picture is part of the collection too, just less ethnic and more 60′ies

This dress is also the donation item at Culture Shock, which means that 100% of the proceedes will go to Médecins Sans Frontières.

Fantastic collection, isn’t it? It’s available at Culture Shock, but, after the weekend, you will also find it at the mainstore.

Have fun!

Ciao

You got Me

Please Leave Your Wizard HUD at Home

May 11, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

When your best friend is a great photographer you spend a lot of time envying her skills. But one of the other things I’ve spent a lot of time doing is envying all the cool stuff she’d do tutorials on that my machine refused to do. I never saw the point in bothering with festive lighting stuffs, since my card wouldn’t do shadows.

But then one day everything changed and I could do shadows and I got kind of curious about some of these tutorials she’d done in the past, for instance………using projectors.

Which might seem kind of random and basic unless, like me, you’d never had a machine that would do cool photography stuff. I didn’t get a new machine. My machine just decided it didn’t hate me after all one day. So, yay for that.

Which also brings me to the point about your Wizard Hud. The script gates have been taken DOWN at Culture Shock. It’d still be nice if you didn’t go over there fully loaded and dragging down the pixel earth. YOUR EXPERIENCE in shopping will be better, if you go as script free as you can and prim down the best you can. You don’t have to go naked or in some wild get up. However, I went with my AO and regular clothes but only wearing a hair base and guess what.

I got around just fine. My suggestion, TP IN, wander off the landing point, go pour a beverage or something then come back. Works for me every time. Also, it helps if the beverage is a beer. At least, thats what my wizard HUD says.

Tutorial – Editing Jewelry When You Cannot See It

May 10, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

I love Boom’s fabulous pastel ombre backless tees at Collabor88. The come in all shades of pastel and are as fresh as springtime. Before choosing this jewelry from Bliensen & Maitai, I tried on several other options, a couple of them falling so deep into my torso they were not even visible. This made me think it might be useful to share a few tricks for dealing with that dilemma.

There are a few options, some people try to cam inside the body and select the jewelry. I find that so frustrating because sometimes I can see the prim to select and SL will not let me select it because there’s another prim in the way. I used to go to edit mode and make my shape short, raise the necklace over my head and then restore my shape again. Not my favorite options. There are easier ways to do it.

This is pretty easy to do. As you can see, the jewelry is not visible. I go to the Develop Menu and under Rendering, select Wireframe. This makes all visible. This is handy when you are trying to find your posestand under a rock or other prim as well. Once it’s selected, I can edit it. I usually use the arrows to edit, but sometimes I use the XYZ axis controls for more control of small adjustments.

Another easy option is to open your inventory window and select the option and right-click and choose Edit. Again, you can edit with the arrows or the XYZ Axis controls.

I added some tights from Tulip that I looked for on Marketplace. Speaking of Marketplace, my eyes melted when I entered tights in the search window. I have no idea why that brought up a bunch of attachable peens, but that’s marketplace for you, the library of unreliable search results. It’s lamentable that browsing is a more effective method of looking for something than search.

Could I have chosen more perfect shoes. The feather can be turned off, but the feather is perfect! I love these boots with tights. They seem designed to show off tights.

Well, after all that, I must feature this gorgeous set from Bliensen & Maitai. It’s called Suzi Q and comes in three options. This one is called Glow. The hair is from Dura and the skin is PXL Creations’ gorgeous Kate with eye shadow and lip tattoos.

Mixing Mesh

May 9, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

In my quest to find mixable mesh, I have found a few allies. Two of them, Eboni Khan of Hucci and Drinkenstein Sorbet of The Sea Hole, are featured in today’s post. What makes them an ally? Producing tops and skirts as separates so I can experiment with them in different looks beside the singular one they envision. This gives me the movement and texture depth and resolution of mesh and the flexibility and creativity in styling of system clothing – the best of both worlds.

I started with the Shogun mesh skirt from The Sea Hole – available at Truth District. It comes in six colors and is such a feminine design with its soft spring pastels. I love everything about it. It comes with a coordinating top that is adorable, but I have my reputation as a pixel prude to maintain. Luckily for me, though, I saw a great top, also from The Sea Hole at Collabor88 yesterday. It came with a coordinating skirt, but I liked the idea of wearing it with this skirt and sure enough. It works beautifully and the colors coordinate so well.

Eboni Khan released a pastel rainbow of skirts, tops and sweaters at Collabor88 and I picked up a few. I was most excited by the sweater because I like layering and wanted to find a good mesh sweater. This is a win in every department. One of my peeves with mesh clothing is that too often, creators don’t texture the inside thinking no one sees it, well we all know that’s not true. It’s one thing if they paint it all black so it looks in shadow. That’s believable, but more than I like to admit, the inside is often alpha and that’s just weird. It’s like they have Harry’s cloak of invisibility tucked inside. But look at this sweater, not only is it textured inside, but it even has a clothing label. How cute is that!

I tossed on the elegant Delphines pumps from Shiny Things. One of the comments on this Flickr picture said thanks for reminding her of Shiny Things and I had to laugh because I had forgot about Shiny Things myself. I tried about about ten pairs of shoes trying to get one that looked right and then scrolling up and down trying to think who to try next, I noticed the Shiny Things folder and thought how long it’s been and decided to peek and found a winner on my first try.

I wanted feminine jewelry, so my first thought was Undefined Lilies. Her work has a sweet tender quality that I thought would be a perfect complement to the outfit. I aadded this curly hair style from Dura, tinted to give it a bit of red. I generally add a light coral tint on top of the sienna to get this color.

Everything was shot at the exquisite Neva River using their own region windlight settings.

I Tumble Out Of Bed and I Stumble To The Kitchen

May 9, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

One of the best things about moving into my houseboat has been redecorating and making the empty shell my own. I’ve been kitchen shopping but living on a boat, I find that space is a huge consideration and I just can’t throw in much of the furniture pieces I like because I don’t have space. BUT PRAISE SWEET LITTLE BABY JESUS Lisp Bazaar has the best kitchen on the planet AND it has a nautical theme, for sale at Collabor88.

My friend’s mother used to always insist that the dishes all be done before you left the house every morning. WTF? That’s the craziest thing I ever heard. Am I really supposed to get up EARLY enough to DO THE EFFIN DISHES TOO? Not a chance suckaz.

I do not mind doing dishes when it’s just a click though. And the bubbles are pretty.

Now, if you don’t mind, I am gonna make my breakfast before venturing out into the pixel world. I hope everyone has a gorgeous day!

Impressions

May 7, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

I was thrilled to be able to pair the mesh pants from MiaMai with the mesh tank from JANE. Finding pieces that work together, particularly from different stores, is often a chore. One of the great things about the top from Jane is that it offered a regular and wide hem. With the regular hem, the pants bled through in the back, but with the wide hem, the top stayed on the outside like it was supposed to. This gave me all the pleasure in having mesh that moved and looked good from all angles. The print pants from MiaMai are so rich and elegant – and your purchase supports the work of Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

One of the countries where they are working is Chad where lack of rain has led to poor harvests and famine. Food prices are 25% higher than last year. There’s also a water shortage and people wait as much as seven hours to get water. Imagine trying to get your ordinary tasks done if you had to wait seven hours just to get water. Of course, hunger begets disease because we need food to fight infection and so now measles and meningitis have broken out.

MSF is hoping to vaccinate 640,000 people there. According to the World Health Organization, a meningitis vaccine costs aid organizations $0.50. So while you think your purchases are too small to matter, consider that around 130 lindens spent at Culture Shock will buy one vaccine – a vaccine that protects for ten years. So when you are spending your lindens, instead of counting how much you spend, count how many vaccines you buy.

I just had to add these fabulous red pumps from Baiastice – the Etienne pumps. She also has some great pumps at Culture Shock called Santigold. The orange and Baudelaire pattern pumps are on sale for MSF. Besides, they are gorgeous!

WTG Jewelry has a magnificent set of jewelry, including bracelets, earrings and necklace. The set is called Dignity – something that MSF treats its patients with in all parts of the world.

Glam Affair has a special set of special makeups and tones for the recent Giselle skin release that are released to raise funds at Culture Shock. This is one of them. The hair is from Dura, though as always with Dura hair, I have tinted it to add some red.

Coolness in Mayfair :)

May 6, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

Hello

Yesterday i went to explore Mayfair, the first all mesh sim in SL and i liked it so much i decided to take a few snaps. So, what else do you need when you have a beautiful location and you’re in the mood for some niiiiiice pictures? You need appropriate clothes and accessories to match the coolness of the place, of course!
And i knew what to wear.

Keep reading!

coldLogic recently released a gorgeous mesh top which is simply perfect: i love everything about it, the textures, the way it fits, its softness, its style. That’s what i mean when i think of mesh in SL. I’ve got something similar in RL, it’s a style i really dig, and i would also like that top (THAT one, not something similar!) in RL too

I matched the top with some awesome trousers from Diapop and i think they go really well together.

And then came the bag. Well, the bag with the pose(s).

Miamai released the fantastic Traveller set for Culture Shock, it’s a set of 10 poses and it includes two mesh bags to fit them! Woohoo!

The skin is Giselle from Glam Affair, a m a s t e r p i e c e. Yeah, it is. *Loving it soooo much*
Hair is Kamiko from Wasabi Pills, another great mesh hairstyle.

Enjoy the coolness!

Ciao

Gardening But Not At Night

May 6, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

I am still settling in to my new place, living in smaller quarters with the ocean as my yard is taking a little getting used but I admit, I kind of like it.

Trompe Loeil released a gorgeous couple of sets of patio furniture recently and now that I’m getting settled in to sorting out my living arrangements, I thought that this set fit exactly for my new deck.

I have to admit that I settled on this set for my deck because it smacked of when we’d visit people with a nice lanai or deck, and they always had gorgeous wrought iron furniture, made to last with a great constructed look.

And those overalls were a great find that I picked up from Siss Boom that I discovered after sifting through Blogging Second Life. Which kind of excited me because YAY for cute new things right?

It’s perfect for my new place. So who wants to come over and sit on it?

Kneeling and Standing Poses: STATUS

E is for E!, Echo and Essential

May 5, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

Essential is the word for Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders) who, because they are independent of any government agenda, go where they are needed without fear or favor. One of the places they go is Cameroon where they provide critical work fighting drug resistant HIV, Buruli ulcers and cholera. You can help support this work with an expedition to Culture Shock.

One of the complaints my friends from Africa have voiced is that too often, all we hear from Africa is war, famine and disease. We don’t hear about the vibrant culture and the joy of Africa. A Cameroonian poet Emmanuel Fru Doh wrote about this in his poem Telling Africa. I think it is important that while supporting this essential work of MSF, we remember that the people they serve are more than their diseases, that they have a rich cultural tradition and a long history. That link will take you to a collection of Cameroonian poetry – a small window into the wider panorama of life there.

One of my complaints about mesh is the difficulty of mixing pieces from different creators. I had no trouble, though, mixing this skirt from Echo with the top from Eclectic Apparel. I added colorful leggings recently released by MiaMai and some boots from Leverocci. I am using the new scaffolding pose prop from Status, Gidge’s pose store. It’s available at Culture Shock along with the skirt and top.

The scaffolding fit in so well at Virtual Decay, I just had to shoot it there.

The earrings and ring are from Miao for Disco Deals – which is a too-short event so you better hurry over there right away. The hair is from Exile for Culture Shock and I know I wore it yesterday. I love it!

Culture Shock Without Borders

May 3, 2012 in Contributor Post with Comments Off

Unless you live under a rock, you know that Culture Shock is bearing down on you with the force of 1000 Fashionistas all clamoring to get in, to get the new, the exclusive and while they are at it, do a little good by donating to Medecins Sans Frontieres. That’s Doctors Without Borders to you non Francophiles.

As a Second Life community of shoppers, clubbers, gesturetards and so called fashionistas, we are a global community of privilege. Even the most broke ass of us seems to have a reliable high speed internet connection with which to connect to our pixel life and live out whatever our fantasy du jour is. (Mine is to be blonde and skinny. Please catch up.)

What I love most about our events that are charitable in nature, is that by just being our happy pixel selves and doing what we love (shopping) we have the ability to impact others. In this instance, rather than just donating to a charity we are actually making viable impact in others lives by supporting this group.

We are saving the lives of people who have only their first life to entertain them, and it’s usually a damn bit harder than any of ours. We are saving the lives of children who are loved by their parents, and families who will never know the luxury that even the poorest of us on the grid take for granted.

If I am a little preachy this morning, it’s because I believe in fact, that this is one of the finest charities in the world. You have the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

So go shopping at Culture Shock. It opens May 4 and you can find more info HERE.

We have the power to make someone’s First Life a better place. We should all do so.
