Ok… on to day two of my “catching up” phase…. Week 20 of the 52 Weeks of Color bloggers challenge was sky blue and for my choice I went to my closet and found… TADA….. this lovely dress by []::Tuli::[].  Its been a staple in my closet for quite some time and I love the fabric textures and knew it was EXACTLY the dress I wanted to use for Sky Blue.

Since Gidge brought up The Sound of Music, my mind went straight to Edelweiss when I looked at the pictures from last night’s shoot.

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

I shot these photos at the blanc part of the noir et blanc installations at World’s End. It’s such a beautiful sim and very uncluttered so it struck me as a good spot to make a short video tutorial on using the Zoom keys to change your cameral “lens” in Second Life. Most of the time we zoom by pressing down the option or alt key and ten using arrows, view or the mouse to move our camera about and to zoom in. That’s great, but it makes for very distorted close-ups. This little video will show you how the zoom controls work and contrast proper and improper methods of zoom.

SING…

How do you solve a problem like MARIA?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means MARIA?
A flibbertijibit, a will-o-wisp A CLOWN!

Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
Many a think she OUGHT to understand
But how do you make her stay
and listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand? Continue reading →

For Gabor Sisters Everywhere….

Leave a reply

Back before there were gay people (wink), my Uncle George was a CONFIRMED OLD BACHELOR. I don’t know if you are old enough to have ever KNOWN a CONFIRMED OLD BACHELOR, but they are men of a certain age who never married. They tend to live alone or with a “friend” who is a border or roommate. They often travel together.

My Uncle George was such a Confirmed Old Bachelor.

He traveled to Cuba to gamble in the 30s and flew to South America to travel the Amazon with his friend Hal. They also loved to visit San Francisco. They lived for a while in Los Angeles where Uncle George was a hairstylist at “FOX” as he would say. He worked there through the war and beyond, only returning home when he had a huge novel of delicious Hollywood gossip and intrigue he could share when you visited him.

And he love love loved the Gabor sisters. ALL OF THEM. Continue reading →

Double Take: A Balancing Act

One of the exciting things about fashion is the way you can shift the entire mood of an outfit just by changing a few accessories. I thought I might add a new “feature” occasionally taking one outfit and giving it two looks. I am starting out with the Brio dress from Chantkare. I love the bold graphic look of this dress with the over-sized collar, bell sleeves and the bold stripes. I first selected accessories that emphasized its clean, modern lines.

I chose some soft and feminine accessories that would change the focus, adding a softer, more romantic element that still honors the modern graphic style of the dress.

I shot the pics at Camomile – home of tram where I bought some of the accessories I use to set the mood for the two looks. There’s a chair outside the store with a fun balancing animation that distracted me until i decided to just go ahead and use it in the shoot – after all, fashion is often a balancing act between moderation and exuberant extravagance.
