Oh October

Leave a reply

Know what’s cool about Halloween?  Aside from EVERYTHING, it’s all the treats that people want to give us.  I love you creators, you don’t need to spoil us, but you do.  The first is Schadenfreude’s yearly tradition, the pumpkin treat bucket.  It’s a gift to everyone, and chock full of stuff (including the witch pez that I hold, above, and all sorts of fun things, including free ridable brooms for you Hogwarts people).  In the words of Allegory: “Wear the bucket! Touch the bucket! Tell others to touch your bucket!”  [ What’s for Christmas, Alle? A box with a hole in it?]

The other free gift that I am wearing is this dress, the yearly group gift Halloween item from Honey Kitty.  Perfect shade of pumpkin, perfectly cute dress.  Thank you!   Not free but awesome is 4.44.444 — where I got these shoes from Deco.  Do stop by and celebrate SL FreeStyle’s anniversary.   (SLURL to Schadenfreude) (SLURL to Honey Kitty) (SLURL to 4.44.444)

My Interest is Piqued

Peqe has a marvelous mini-collection at Modavia Fashion Week full of classic, a gray rainbow of modern silhouettes in black, white and gray. I was distracted, though, when the emcee pronounced Peqe as in peck, where my inner ear had always though it would be pronounced like peek or pique. Thankfully, I don’t have to know how to pronounce it to wear it.  One of the design details that show that Inex Hax, the designer is better than most doesn’t show in my pictures. With the bold triangle at the front, most would either repeat the triangle at the back or leave the back plain, instead she made a broad, bold vertical stripe. It’s a small thing, but it shows that she doesn’t settle for the ordinary and banal.

Pondering

“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.”
(Danny Kaye)

I was pondering this quote while exploring a new to me sim, full of amazing spots, so I thought “I’ll take a picture!” and that’s what I did. I liked the shot so much that I decided to add some “canvas action” to it, whatever that means…LOL

Pondering

Then I thought (yeah…lots of pondering and thinking lately….someone stop me, please!) that my look of the day was so cute it would have been too selfish of me not to share the cuteness (…..) , soooo here I am, showing you what I’m wearing.

Here i am!

The awesome boho dress is from vive9, I absolutely dig that vintage style, it’s what I would wear in RL too.
The lace part is so delicate and romantic, but what really makes the difference is the belt which adds that particular touch of fashionista glamour.

IOF PSA: Marketing 101 for Bloggers – Social Networks

2 Replies

So after Cajsa did her unbelievably thorough marketing pieces for Creators (mostly fueled by frustration- don’t get us started) it was mulling through both our minds that not only do Creators need some sort of SOP and content marketing strategies for marketing success, so do us bloggers.

This list is by no means comprehensive or complete. Blogging is a real time evolving thing. It changes month to month. Day to day even. You don’t have to write complete sentences to be a blogger. (see what I did there?)

Regardless, there are some things you can do to improve your blog’s marketing and traffic and I thought I’d list of some of those basics here.

First of all quit lying about not caring about traffic. If you didn’t care about traffic your blog would be private or invitation only. You DO care. The degree to which you care is what is going to motivate you to take steps to market your blog effectively, and how aggressively you market yourself.

We bloggers are peacocks of various ilk. That’s ok. It’s what we do. So then, where to start? Continue reading →

Fashion That Excites

The runway show from SHI was one of the most exciting at Modavia Fashion Week – because the clothes were clothes we hadn’t seen before in Second Life. There were stunning pieces and one of my favorites was this marvelous top, jacket and shorts with leggings from SHI. Who knew shorts could be so elegant? And that jacket, that jacket is one that can be worn so many ways.

Funny Thing About My Inventory

Things keep disappearing and reappearing. Case in point, awesome cute jewelry from Caroline’s. Saw it in my offlines. Logging in, it didn’t deliver. Sad face. Forgot about it.

Searching for jewelry while styling – THERE IT IS! YAAAAAAY!! Continue reading →

If Beau Brummel Were the Designer for Star Wars

If Beau Brummel were the designer for Star Wars, I think Darth Vader might have had a cute little number like this and we would have been so much happier with the Empire. After all, if you must have evil overlords, they should be sharply dressed evil overlords.
