I am not outdoorsy. I used to be. Or I wanted to be. I’m not sure which. There used to be camping. And there was hiking and other stuff like that. I remember it. I also know that once upon a time I hyper-extended my knee slipping around a tricky rock face on a trail that if it was for beginners, as the sign said, then apparently Everest was for the experienced hiker.

You might not know this, but I’m a reader. When I’m reading, I tend to tune out the entire world and miss really important things. Such as, I just stumbled into a zoo! Continue reading
With the ground breaking change of being able to copy to text what we are wearing, it’s more important than ever that what you the creator name your product be intuitive.
It’s hard enough with a big inventory to find things. But that’s my problem not yours.
However, if your shop name is SUSIE’S HOT SHOP but your individual items have a name let’s say HOTCHA, and then inside of the folder of that item is shirt, pant, whatever….it’ll look like THIS when I copy paste it.
HOTCHA pant
Now. I’m a pretty attentive blogger, I just play at being scattered. Chances are good I’m going to change that so that it says Susie’s Hot Shop – HOTCHA + color etc.
But catch me on a bad day, and honestly, HOTCHA pant might just be what goes into my shopping list recap at the end of the post. Now people are searching for a store named HOTCHA. And that’s a waste of my time and you aren’t getting any sales out of it.
Instead, despite the fact that it’s a huge pain in your ass, it’s important that you help out not only bloggers but HELL your customers in general. Name your items consistently and name each and every item with your store name and the item name, THEN the individual piece designation.
Like THIS: Susie’s Hot Shop – Hotcha – Pant Blue
Abbreviating is fine, but do it consistently. don’t be SHS one time, Susie’s HS the next and so on.
Frankly, it doesn’t matter how you do it or in what order. It simply matters that you include
STORE NAME + ITEM NAME + INDIVIDUAL PIECE NAME/DESCRIP + Color
And, please name your alpha layers as well. You don’t know HOW many times I’ve been trying to figure out WTF is wrong because I’ve got the name of the item in my inventory search – and ONE PIECE didn’t have the name. That’s counter-intuitive.
This has been an IOF PSA. Now. Do it.

I have a good friend who’s mother is a bit of a nut. A loveable, quirky, 3D force of nature nut. Example, when we were in school, the soap dispenser in the bathroom of their house was a cock and balls. You had to squeeze the balls to get the soap to come out of the tip.
Yes, she was single. Continue reading
We all tend to be kind of possessive of our shapes. They are US after all. But sometimes, even when you’re an old wizened, shriveled up avatar (no not the one you think, I mean ME) it’s good to stretch your skin across a different look.
I’ve decided that like posers, shapers are the bastard children in the land of creators. No one credits them. Well, I do. But it’s because I’m a poser so I feel their pain. Continue reading
My friend Jori Watler was in a bit of a snit the other day (which is a whole other topic and best left out) and anyway, I’m the sort of friend who firmly believes that if you are in a snit, there is surely something horrible on Marketplace I could send you to cure you of this malady.

IMAGE FROM SL EXTRAVAGANZA
I think she’s doing a bang up job of creating fun and interesting images but still showcasing what she’s wearing, which is really sort of the point.
Well done! IT’S FABULOUS!
It was a long weekend in most of North America, it was it was. It was Canada Day on Friday of last week and Independence Day in the U.S. on Monday and I don’t know what Mexico and the rest of North America was up to, but surely they found some way to participate in the leisure our giant land mass took over the past few days.
