My 10 SL Firsts Meme

I decided to do Strawberry Singh’s new meme.

First Things_0011

  1. First SL Friend: My first SL friend was technically Stardust Perl. We came into SL together from there.com. I loved that virtual world. It was so different than SL in so many ways. It was a real sense of community. It would have been unheard of for ppl to just stay in their homes and not go out. I miss it dearly.
  2. First SL Kiss: I don’t remember the avatars name but it was at some free sex place, he looked like Harry Potter. It was the funniest shit ever.  I was two days old I think.
  3. First SLex time/place/partner: See question 2.  Continue reading →

With Stockings and Tights For All

New Stockings From Adam & Eve

 

When the mesh boobs came out, every creator on the planet started making everything “with appliers” and most of us without mesh boobs went, oh, so what are we supposed to wear?

Eventually people told us we could wear the things too – but since they weren’t being marketed that way none of us “got it”. When you tailor something “FOR THIS” and I am NOT that, I assume it’s not for ME. Continue reading →

Culture Kitsch

apr09_002

The theme for April’s Collabor88 is Kitsch. Well, Kitsch never had it so good. Normally, I use the word pejoratively, describing some tired gimcrack tchotchke. Don’t get me wrong. I have kitsch. Most of mine is Scandinavian folk art, but it’s still kitsch. The kitsch is in this outfit from ISON is the flying bird patter in the sheer bodice, but in such skillful hands, it’s kitsch as art.

The ISON dress can be worn with the long sleeves that I chose or as a sleeveless sheath. It comes in black, blue, green, gray, purple, red and tan and there is no reason you cannot mix the system layer bodices from one color with the mesh dress pieces of another – just to add more interest.

Cajsa Fast Five: April 9th

Fast Five What a day! We get to meet a new survivor from Gallifrey. That does not happen often. There’s a crazy, fun sim highlighted and SL textures may be changing dramatically in the future.

  1. The Time Lord’s Idiot Cousin: Whovians rejoice! There is another Time Lord in town, but he’s a bit on the sad side as his Tardis has no door. If you love the Doctor, you should check out Caduceus Lorakeet’s fun and clever new post.  And alert the BBC.
  2. Summer Vacation Time: Jackson Redstar features an incredibly whimsical sim that makes me want to log in right now and not even finish this post. The sacrifices I make for you readers!  Continue reading →

Another Reason To Join The PXL Creations VIP Group

PXL VIP Skin Spring 2013 - Sophia NATURAL

 

I’ve been waiting for Hart to release Sophia in a Natural tone because this girl doesn’t tan in either life. He just recently released her in ALL tones so if you do love a darker or mid range tone run to demo!

But the VIP Group once again proves that this group is a blogger’s good friend. You need versatility and lots of skins as a blogger (especially a new blogger, this isn’t cheap) and belonging to VIP groups that provide quality awesome skins is where it’s at.

Plus I think it’s lovely that it has the same name as Cajsa’s mom.

Gidge Is Wearing:
Skin: PXL Creations VIP Group Spring Gift
Hair: EXILE – Raspberry Beret
Eyes: Poetic Colors – Coral Reef
Lashes: Amacci Eyelash Tattoo

Gidge’s Fast Five: April 8 or 9 I’m Tardy

GidgeFast Five

My own sloth and WoW interfered with me posting this yesterday.  I know it’s hard to believe a video game could interfere with people getting things done, isn’t it?

Anyway, here’s my fast five for yesterday also today.

1. Proceeding on Good Faith: People make mistakes. Creators, customers, etc. Paypaback Writer gives us a play by play on how she’s trying to be a good customer in the face of some kind of crazy mistakes. Reminder creators – although RL > SL you do actually have responsibilities to your customers. This is real money we are spending with you. Act like it. Continue reading →

MiaMai Makes Magic

Apr 07_003

I am loving the spring/summer collection from MiaMai that was released for AVENUE fashion week. These are great casual pieces and comfy resort wear that suit the season. With romantic florals and flirty hems, the entire collection is full-on feminine. This is the Sagi dress which comes in several print sleeveless asymmetrical dresses worn over a lace system layer blouse.

The Fashionista Achievement Awards: Haters Gonna Hate Sweepstakes

This is the third in our ongoing coverage of the Fashionista Achievement Awards.

The simple truth is “Haters Gonna Hate” is true in every walk of life, including the AO-enhanced walks of Second Life’s Dedicated Followers of Fashion. In this round, the competition focuses on your ability to inspire absurd accusations to explain your success. After all, the explanation could never be so simple as hard work and skill, could it?

150 BronzeThe Bronze Haters Gonna Hate Achievement is when someone says you only receive review, preview or promotional items because you are an ass-kissing, brown-nosing suck-up. This happens often enough that it’s practically a medal for showing up.

 

150 SilverThe Silver Haters Gonna Hate Achievement is awarded when your success and hard work result in accusations of trading pixel sex for review copies. You get a special bonus if your success inspires Secrets and Anonyplurks from the jealous, unshod, unmaned, and undressed.

 

150 GoldThe Gold Haters Gonna Hate goes to a very select few who inspire such jealousy that you are accused of having enslaved a creator with your wiles to the degree said creator no longer works for themselves and now works for you, creating content for you. Few succeed in unlocking this achievement because it is hard work finding haters who are that unhinged.

 

 

Your Mama Wears Combat Boots

Your Mama_001

 

An insult from childhood I never quite got the INSULT part of was “YOUR MAMA WEARS COMBAT BOOTS”. I guess it means your Mama isn’t a lady. But then that flies in the face of feminism. Perhaps a throwback part doin’ the dozens with your friends. Continue reading →
