Today there are some event announcements, challenge responses and as always, great fashion, fabulous style and sharp, beautiful photos.

1. Got Nothing to Wear Again? I love Caoimhe Lionheart’s clever picture announcing an upcoming clothing event, the Couturier’s Dock which features limited editions of only 50 items. Sounds like a perfect event for folks who want something they won’t see everywhere they go.
2. Neutral: Destiny Philbin styled two fabulous outfits. In particular, I thought the one on the left showed real brilliance with the accessories. Both outfits are great, but I know I will be looking at that necklace and probably buying it later today.
3. Hair Fair 2013: Whimsy Winx announced that the Designer Applications are open. So hair stylists, this is Second Life’s equivalent of the Bronner Brothers Hair Show, a be there or be square sort of event.
4. Amblyodipsas Rosaceae: Elysium Hynes packed a lot into this post with info on three events and a character she created for the Create a Character challenge. If that were not enough, her photos are striking and capture your attention immediately.
5. Sleepover Party: Bust Out of Your Bubble Challenge: Maci Restless tackles the challenge with Clear Channing and it looks like they had a lot of fun,  though cleaning up after a big pillow fight can be exhausting if the pillows burst. The fun thing about this challenge is the Maci had to interview Clear in order to get to know her better. It’s a great way to build community.

So much going on! SL is moving forward with scriptless AO’s and group ban lists, things that will make residents happy. There’s a post highlighting a favorite store, some great pose props from the upcoming Pose Fair are shown off plus a good op-ed on review copies.

1. SL Project Updates Week 13: Inara Pey has a roundup of all sorts of exciting improvement and changes to the viewer. If you have time for a second post, there’s also HTTP Updates, the what, why, who which talks about exciting developments that will improve stability.  Continue reading →

Another Fast Five. My cat has been howling all morning demanding attention. He had food, water and really, has been sitting halfway on the laptop or on my shoulder all morning, so there’s no reason for it. Still, I am going to hurry and finish so I can pick him up and hold him like a baby. He is so weird, he likes to be held against my shoulder while I kind of stand and sway back and forth like when you comfort a baby. He’s 13. He should have grown out of this by now.

1. A Little Night Fishing: Pearl Grey has a beautiful photo illustrating the joys of night fishing. That was illegal where I grew up unless you were fishing for compliments.  Continue reading →

It’s Monday so I am prepping my set for tonight at The Velvet. It’s a fun mix of some psychedelic rock, indie folk and blues and all sorts of songs that fall through the cracks. Not falling through the cracks are today’s Fast Five.

1. Social Media Meme: Strawberry Singh kicks off another meme that could help you connect with your blogger friends and acquaintances on the many social networks you inhabit. The more people who do the meme, the more you all will be connected. I thought her photo to illustrate the meme was a bit of genius.  Continue reading →
