Golden grove

Saiyge's wood

I’ve been redecorating the skybox as a surprise for Jackal (don’t tell!), and was overjoyed to log in last night to a message from Balderdash. NEW GROVE! That’s right, Saiyge made an entire wee grove of Autumn trees, so that I don’t have to make it myself, and it’s a scant few prims, too! I love all of the stuff that comes from Balderdash anyway, but orange and gold leaves make me particularly happy. I’m cavorting through them in clothing from a year ago that I still love.

Glamming It Up

I was DJing the other night and decided this new dress from Glam Affair for faMESHed fit the bill perfectly. It comes in pink, mint and black and features a dramatic asymmetrical skirt with a belted empire waist. It really is a lovely dress for dancing though I had to choose relatively simple dances to avoid exposing the alpha texture that made my avatar’s body disappear. Of course, nearly all dresses place some constraints on what dances I use, so that’s no big deal to me.

Speaking of alpha textures. It would be nice if creators made alphas at the absolute minimum size. This skirt stands out a bit from the hips, so I wonder if the alpha could have ended at the waist or at the hip bone rather than continuing down to the thigh. Of course, I was too lazy to make my own, but considering how sexy this dress is, it would be lovely for the sexy lingerie I was wearing to show. It would certainly allow for a more rambunctious dance – perhaps one with a kick or two.

Still Hungering for Mesh

FaMESHed is a monthly showcase of great original mesh content. I have no objection to designers who work with templates to produce new and original versions of more generic designs. I am glad there are options for great texture artists to work in mesh even without the technical expertise needed to produce original mesh work. Still, there is something exciting about an event where you know that every item is an original work. I was pleased to see Rebel Hope participating this month and am in love with the fabulous wool dresses that have been released in advance of the fall season.

The dress is beautifully made with a gorgeous flat self-binding edge around the bodice. This accentuates the shape and highlights the neckline subtly. The fabric is a gorgeous herringbone weave in a light summer wool, making a perfect fall dress that could be worn as a jumper for a blouse or paired with a sweater or jacket – or on a warm day like today, worn on its own. My shoes are from Celoe – a lovely fawn color with a slender heel and a pointed toe. I know podiatrists probably love the round and square toe fashions in shoes of today, but I very much prefer the pointed toe in general. It just feels so much more dressy to me.

Don’t touch my KOOQLA

And so it would appear that I’ve fallen in love with a new skin. I’ve never been one for skins that are mostly “hand painted”. I’ve always been one to dig on skins with a more realistic touch but never being over realistic. I was window shopping last night looking to see who makes pale looking skins when I came across this store called [KOOQLA]. As I said in another post…I have no idea how to pronounce that but it reminds me of something I would call my vagina.  Anyways, this place has excellent almost ethereal looking skins and fantastic makeup add-on’s. They are super fun to shoot pictures in as well. Here have a lookie:

Happy Birthday Truth, Or SHOULD I SAY CHARLIE

1 Reply

So then, today is Truth Hawk’s birthday. We’re all wishing him a Happy Birthday as good friends should but, I had a eureka moment earlier that I think I’m going to have to share.

You see, Truth and I aren’t terribly close but I do like him. As a blogger, I can honestly say he’s the dealer of one of my drugs of choice, hair. Hair baby hair mama, everywhere daddy daddy….

But, I realized something today. Today is Truth’s birthday. Today is Charlie Sheen’s birthday. Truth lives in LA. Charlie Sheen lives in LA. I NEVER SEE THEM TOGETHER. And, obviously Charlie Sheen could not worry about losing that gig on 2 and a Half Men since he OBVIOUSLY HAD HIS SL TRUTH HAIR MONEY TO FALL BACK ON. Oh yes, I’m on to you MISTER HAWKS. I HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOU RUSE.

I’m not saying, I’m JUST SAYING.

🙂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUTH !!!! Continue reading →

You Should Do the Harvest Hunt

Leave a reply

Anyone who knows me knows that I do not like hunting for things. Not in RL or SL. I have labeled folders in both lives, labeled drawers and a place for everything and everything in its place. Even my clothes are hung in the closet in ROYGBIV order so I NEVER HAVE TO HUNT for things. So, when I think something is worth hunting for, you can count on it being worthy. And believe me, the skirt from Bilo for the Harvest Hunt is worth hunting for.

It was so worthy it motivated me to get out of my box and go look for a setting as pretty as it is. I found Water Horse. I think it’s worthy.

Pretty dress by Rebel Hope

I took the summer off, returned, and found that everything is Mesh! And not only that, it’s beautifully textured too. Kudos to all the designers who’ve been working their butts off to make high quality stuff in this medium, I’m absolutely enjoying it! Rebel Hope made a new gown, the Heidi dress, and I’ve put it on in an autumnal color. I think it goes well with this elven beastie here.
