Gidge’s Fast Five On a Freezing Night

GidgeFast Five

I want to start off by saying that I’m cold.

I am in fact, freezing my ass off. I’d like to write a whole blog post bitching about how cold I am. But instead, I thought I’d spread some awesome and show you some of my favorite posts from the past 48 hours.

1. Katya Valeska does a nice job of capturing fairytale dreaminess. Pan was fabled to have amazing sexual powers so, you know, wocka-chicka-wocka-chicka is likely to make this dreamy scene turn quite sordid after the camera is off.  Continue reading →

It’s Alright, Ma

I wanted to create a look based around 1960s Bob Dylan, but add more modern themes to it, such as tattooed hands, sagged jeans, and so on. Hopefully I did The Bob some justice.

Cajsa’s Fast Five: March 3rd

Fast Five Today there are lots of fabulous photos and outfits, an interview with my ex (not by me) and  a link to a collection of some the best tutorials of the past month.

 

 

  1. I  Am the Abstract – Vaki Zenovka reminds us how bold and exciting Second Life fashion can be. She takes an avant garde outfit and shoots it the with bravado it deserves.
  2. DJ Exclusive: Interview with Maht Wuyts: Piedmont Cartauld interviews one of my oldest and closest friends in SL (also my ex). It’s part of a series spotlighting SL DJs that should be interesting to follow.
  3. Take Courage – the Fashion For Life posts are starting and I love this one from LisaMun Aronowitz. There is something haunting and otherworldly about this photo from the pose to the styling. A feeling of stillness.
  4. This is place where I don’t feel alon, This is a place where I feel at home. Neva Crystall does her usual stunning job of creating a setting that makes me want to be there. She creates such homey and lived in settings, she’s kind of the Kathy Ireland of Second Life.
  5. Best of Tuts in February 2013 – While not associated with Second Life, many SL bloggers and creators are tutorial collectors and this is my favorite place to go prospecting. 

 

Are you feeling fameshed?

Oh, autocorrect does not like puns! Every time I type faMESHed it corrects it to famished. Well, it’s that time again when your hunger for mesh can be satisfied with a trip to the fabulous faMESHed showroom. I am taken with this leather dress from Baiastice featuring a delicate cut out collar. It comes in several solid colors as well as four colorblocked options. I tossed on a jacket from House of Fox because it’s a bit chilly in these parts. I am wearing a large jacket over a medium dress. For some reason, a medium jacket over a small or even xs or xxs dress does not work and portions of the dress show through at the back and shoulders. The only size jacket to work is the large. However, my own shape is medium, so it works for me. And that is why you demo when you shop for items to mix and match with other mesh.

Fast Five Today I am going to take advantage of this space to direct you to an article I wrote elsewhere, but since the point of the Fast Five is to highlight the cool, interesting, amazing and important posts of other people, I will make it a Fast Six for today.

  1. What I Like #90 is my article at Shopping Cart Disco. Normally this column focuses on a few select pictures that caught my eye recently and which I think illustrate great composition. This column, though, is full of suggestions for Second Life’s staff on how they could diversity their front page. 
  2. The Drax Files – World Makers. Strawberry Singh does a great introduction to a new video series about Second Life that highlights the creators of our world. If you don’t smile when you hear why he began making trees, you haven’t an ounce of romance in your soul.
  3. Ashasekayi Ra – This offering from Ashasekayi Ra for the Connecting: 365 Lives project really speaks to me about what matters in Second Life, the community of people and the care, support and friendship we offer each other.
  4. Challenge Gallery 29: Almost. This week’s edition of Single Frame Stories is up with a dozen interpretations inspired by the word Almost.
  5. My Little Walrus from Jill Narstrom is so sweet it will make your teeth hurt. I will definitely be buying that jacket.
  6. Learning to Walk Again from Jolene McAndrews is great for two reasons. I think the hi-top shoes are adorable and according to the post, you can customize them six ways to Sunday. However, what I love most is the clever way McAndrews found to show off the shoes. Kudos for creativity.

While the Gacha is Good

Do Over_005I gotta admit I’m a fan. I suppose it’s the fun of the hunt, the elusive object we desire that keeps us tossing our lindens in the machines – desperately wanting the ONE thing versus the other.

I confess, I love the gacha. Continue reading →

You will like this, look at the shoulders.

Sasy Scarborough who organized My Attic at The Deck invited me over for a peek about 30 minutes before the event opened and pointed to this dress and said, “You will like this, look at the shoulders.” Well, I finally got back to go buy it the other day and here I am wearing it with only a few hours before it closes. The dress is sleek and stylish and it does have beautifully shaped shoulders with silver studs. I don’t know why, but it got me hauling out the breastplate and other pieces of the Hydra set from Rozoregalia to push it from the Pop theme to a more hard edged Rock and Roll feel.

Don’t you hate it when you take a nice photo, look closer, and realize that part of the outfit was broken? I took a lovely shot standing next to sweet Katat0nik when I realized that the alpha around my mesh Lamb hair was breaking the mesh dress. D’oh! Still, it’s a cute photo of Miss Kat, so here.

I have my first thing from The Arcade! It’s this katat0nik bento box, and I adore it so much that apparently I have to wear it with all my outfits, including my Sexy Times one. 😀 What did you get from The Arcade? I wanna seeee!

Fast Five Five posts worth taking the time to check out. There is a relatively important one assessing the state of the mesh deformer and of course, ones great styling and pictures. There’s also an excellent article looking at the death of Elisa Lam though personal experience.

  1. 73 from Thalia Heckroth is a witty video preview of upcoming Arcade items combined with Heckroth’s always striking and beautifully shot photography and filming.  Continue reading →
