Gidge Uriza is an ordinary fashion blogger. She’s been at her role for several years now and has enjoyed some success. But lately she’s found that she’s more and more vexed by the little things. The enhancements that just end up being more work, the new releases at events only, the fact that the new Firestorm takes such big pictures that no matter what she does she can’t crop them.
She’s worn out. Continue reading
I’m loving the new Firestorm but it seems like no matter what I do, my pictures are bigger than my little free editing tool wants to use. Hey I’m just going to roll with it. Not being able to crop isn’t a tragedy.
Today’s adventure involved going over to Shiny Shabby and pulling the Gacha for this dress/sweater combo from Dami. For 69L there wasn’t a bad result to be had. I wanted shoes to go with it but alas I couldn’t get into FAMESHED. But I got a pink dress so really, clearly the gacha gods were with me! Continue reading
I can’t believe how much time I lost and now it’s almost Halloween and there are about 1000 Halloween things I haven’t done or worn! SO MANY THINGS! I love them all, want to do them all and then some. I don’t even care how silly they are, I am a fiend for Halloween. Continue reading
The latest issue of ECLIPSE Magazine is out with a cover story on Siddean Munro of SLINK along with Sideman’s own explanation of her creative process from the idea to the release. It’s a don’t miss piece. For the first time, I understand what weight painting means.
I also interviewed Bibbe Oh, the SL artist who is the first life Bibbe Hansen, also an artist. She brings her SL art to first live galleries and bridges those two worlds seamlessly. She also has a fascinating life story full of amazing characters and creatives.
Aradia Aridian wrote a great article on kid’s fashions, called Baby Got Swag. There are also several great fashion pieces full of photos.
Each month, we hear from the general public in Second Life in Voices from the Grid, interviewing residents on one topic. This month’s Voices From the Grid asks “How real is Second Life?”
My typist was away when SLINK released the HOURGLASS shaped body, so I had to wait to give it a try. I have to admit, it’s really pretty damn sexy. Continue reading
Cold rainy days are to be expected, but a good hot meal makes me feel so much better most days. My new home is settling in to place for me rather nicely, and despite my typist being away for several days, I’m in a cozy place without her while I wait. I can’t ask for much more. Continue reading
I am back at Furillen, the bleak and desolate sim replicating a limestone quarry and luxury hotel off Sweden’s coast. It’s bleak and spare and there is an austere beauty that makes it compelling. There is nothing austere, however, about me today.
Siddean Munro has released her newest mesh body, the Slink Physique Hourglass, a body for the curvilinear, the well-endowed Mae Wests and the wasp-waisted Dollys and Scarletts. Standard mesh will not fit because there is nothing standard about Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth or any of the other bombshells whose curves defined female beauty far centuries.
Women who opt for the Hourglass figure will have to wear appliers or specially made clothing, though certainly many clothing designers will rush to serve this market. Blueberry, whose dress I am wearing in these pictures, is among the first and even gifted all purchasers of the Hourglass Physique with a free bikini in the mesh body’s packaging from Slink.

The newest dress from Thalia Heckroth™ is all about the back. It is a simple sheath that is quite plain in the front and then, once your back is turned, reveals a lot of skin and a lot of design.
That does not mean it is severe. The front has a deep scoop neck and is open under the arms, so it is revealing, but with restraint.

Francis Bacon,the great scientist-philosopher wrote, “In order for the light to shine brightly, the darkness must be present.” The truth of this is demonstrated every time I work with projectors. They are brightest when it is darkest. I thought of this quote, though, in relation to this avant garde outfit from Liziaah. It explores form and texture and through its form, the interplay of dark and light. Released in deep, dark shades of aubergine, royal blue and black, the colors provide the darkness.
Explorations of form, curving shapes and an open back reveal the light of exposed skin made brighter by their relation to the dark, rich fabrics.

My favorite anchor woman when I was growing up had this AMAZING HUGE mole in her eyebrow which she perpetually waxed around, giving her what we dubbed in high school “The Renegade Eyebrow”. With the new expressions HUD you available for the new release of the Lelutka Mesh Heads you can customize your face, not only with expressions but little details like “what do I want my eyebrows to look like? That’s a feature we’ve had since tattoo layers came about with default heads so YAY for that.
And this version of the renegade eyebrow is far lovelier as there is no giant mole there.
New versions of the Lelutka heads with expressions and even more awesome are coming out on Wednesday…so get ready to check them out girls!
Now, I’m off!
Ciao!
