Proportions Challenge Questions:

  1. Do you try and keep your avatar’s body proportionate and similar to the “average” proportions pictured above? – I guess not, I try t make them some what realistic but I’m not a stickler to making it perfectly proportionate. I think it’s really almost impossible to do so given the limited range in number on the mesh.
  2. What do you dislike the most about the SL avatar mesh? – The back, it does this strange wonky thing near the pits unless you go full throttle on the shoulder slider.
  3. Does it bother you when you see other avatars that are not proportionate at all? – That depends. There are some people (most of whom I think are probably men) who want that super exotic and shapely female body but go crazy on the tits and ass and max them out. Like, come on…who looks like that? But, it’s SL..so live out your fantasy I guess. Who am I to judge?
  4. Even though this is a virtual world and people can be anything they want to be, do you feel when they are in human form, they should try to keep their proportions close to average? Like I said, they can do what they want but I think pony riders and trex arms look ridiculous and wish that trend would do away.

PixelProm Stag

I had originally planned not to attend Pixel Prom because my husband is still away in Azeroth, so I figured, eh, why bother. Plus the time was bad for me. But then things changed and the time wasn’t so bad after all…and so I thought well, hell, I could slip on some nylons and something floofy and head over for a while? Continue reading

I only have eyes for you

jun21_003

A couple weeks ago, I checked out the Billboard Jazz charts and discovered the new-to-me vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant and fell instantly in love. I hope I can persuade you to take a listen. She reminds me of Billie Holliday, more so than any other jazz singer. I watched her performance of the old standard I Only Have Eyes For You – with her unique interpretation. I hope you check her out on iTunes or YouTube. You won’t be disappointed.

This top from Goucci makes me feel very jazzy all by itself. It has a classic Chanel-inspired shape and aesthetic. Everyone will have eyes only for you if you wear it. It comes in red, blue, yellow and black. I paired with some black and white striped pants from Coco that are truly hot jazz in fabric.

Thy resolutions are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchits…

Miss Stringer's hair

The fake world is always so much more appealing when my body isn’t up for the real one. Isn’t that always the case? It’s so liberating to send my avatar off with a few movements of my fingers while my body aches to be free of the Rituximab in my veins. Anyway, not to be all morbid, but I just appreciate Second Life all the more for giving my imagination a place to play.

Today I’m playing with resolution. As in — JFC, Firestorm, would you stop crashing the second I crank my resolution up past 2400? Sigh. The rest of my outfit is like comfort food, the comforting beauty of creations from some of the people I adore in SL. I hope your weekends are marvelous! Back to bed for me.

And yes. I quoted some Vogon Poetry.

Yup, you’re just going to have to get used to me posting about the cosmetics fair. I went last night and grabbed more goodies including this totally awesome makeup from ChicZafari. I looooove unique makeup, I’m not one to purchase plain ol eye shadow. It has to have pizazz! This one definitely tickles my fancy.  Glitter might me my new favorite thing and anyone who can do it well on a tattoo layer deserves applause.

Feeling Toasty

I am beyond pleased to be one of the bloggers getting review copies from fashionably Dead, mostly because I wear a ton of Toast Bard’s stuff anyway. IN FACT, I’m not even wearing review copies of anything in this outfit, except that necklace that is hiding in the shirt. Yay fashionably Dead!

I am also wearing a little bunny plushie from ~silentsparrow~, brand new and in my favorite color.

Philosophical moment of the day: why is it so hard to juice fast when my stomach knows that eating will only worsten the effects of Rituximab allergies? Darn stomach. Maybe I’ll start reading thinspo Tumblrs. (Just kidding. Eat yer food, kids. Fasting is for the ill.)

Countdown has a new cocktail dress with a snug strapless snakeskin bodice and a frothy, sheer full skirt. It is the perfect marriage of modern and traditional, hard and soft. I decided to tip the scales a bit adding a short, cropped white leather jacket from Coco.  Continue reading
