What’s Your Digits – Isla

Well hello. Yeah, you’re not seeing things. Gidge let me blog. :/ I apologise in advance.

1. Do you try and keep your avatar’s body proportionate and similar to the “average” proportions?
I think I’m drawn to that as I’m a pretty straightforward thinker and don’t really feel comfortable in different and strange shapes. I can admire them but I don’t always want to *be* them. I’ve never purposely set out to make sure I’m an average proportional size.

2. What do you dislike the most about the SL avatar mesh?
With the advent of mesh hands and feet that are easy to change to match my skin… not much anymore! I would love there to be better facial control. Otherwise I think it’s getting much better! New residents don’t know how lucky they have it. (brb grabbing my cane to shake at the younguns)

3. Does it bother you when you see other avatars that are not proportional at all?
No. I don’t really like the odd pony rider shape or the strange frowny face, but it doesn’t bother me much. It doesn’t appeal to me, but I don’t get bent out of shape about it any more than I do about any other type of avatar.

4. Even though this is a virtual world and people can be anything they want to be, do you feel when they are in human form, they should try to keep their proportions close to average?
Absolutely not. I’m not like this in RL, this is my grown up dress-up doll. I can make her tall, short, fluffy, thin, or even a hedgehog if I wanted. I love the diversity out there in SL and we should all take a step back and appreciate our differences!

Now I shall retreat to my platform to hermit away in creatorville. Thanks for letting me dip into blogging!

Form & Function

mouse_dressform4

There are some things in SL that just strike my fancy.  The dress form is one of them. I love dress forms.  I love that creators are whimsical enough to create dress forms.  This month has seen an abundance of them.  Allegory Malaprop of Schadenfreude and Julliette Westerburg of Tres Blah both released dress forms as part of their Arcade Gacha items. Sienia Trevellion of Lark also released a lovely dress form and I pulled an older version that I’m particularly fond of out of my inventory, one by Theosophy’s Trace Osterham.

A walk in the woods

mouse_yellow6

Hi there, I’m Mouse Mimistrobell, and I guess this would be my first post on It’s Only Fashion!  I like clothes, I like fashion and so, Cajsa and Gidge were lovely enough to invite me to post on their blog quite a while ago.  So even though I am embarrassed to take so long, I finally got down to it.  I was inspired by a couple of things, and being a slow burn, it takes me a while to have all the pieces come together. I picked up this sweater at the dressing room, and held on to it for a bit.  Something about the yellow and animal print appealed to me, though I hate the alpha. Of course I hate all alphas, so it’s not a deal breaker.  A couple of days later, I saw a pair of jeans on sale and they were peach!  Well they also seemed to work anyways, so I kept going with it. Then I pulled out a Tres Blah skin that looked ‘just a tad’ tarty, and wow the whole thing just worked, and there you go.  I took these pictures in a gorgeous sim that was the first one I came across in the SL Destination Guide today. Yeah, I’m creative like that! I called it a walk in the woods after a favorite old children’s book of mine, and I imagine it’s a late spring evening, chilly enough for a scarf. I hope you like!

It’s Alright, Ma

I wanted to create a look based around 1960s Bob Dylan, but add more modern themes to it, such as tattooed hands, sagged jeans, and so on. Hopefully I did The Bob some justice.
