Returning

July01_001

One of my favorite SL sim builders is Marcus Inkpen whose amazing Utopia 4 build remains a standout for me – though it’s long gone. He’s also the genius behind the stunning Looking Glass sim.

I was thrilled to learn that he has a new sim installation called The Returning. This is one on of the Linden Endowment for the Arts sims. Prepare to be amazed as you look at the pictures from the Flickr group for the sim. I must thank Ryker Beck for sharing a picture of the sim on her plurk – or I might not have known about it.

Whether you wear the pink, blue, melon or this sunshine fresh yellow, you will be looking sharp and ready for fun in the sun – even if you’re painting the garden shed.

It’s Digit-All

Strawberry Singh is all up in our digits again, and wanted to know how mesh has impacted our shapes.

I admit freely, that I was definitely a SCREW YOU I WON’T CHANGE MY SHAPE AND YOU CAN DIE IN THE HELL OF THE UPSIDE DOWN SINNER sort of person, when mesh came out.  I WASN’T ABOUT TO LET THESE BASTARDS MAKING MESH CHANGE WHO GIDGE IS.

And then, mesh actually came out. I tried it on.  Continue reading

Bunga Mawar

Pink Flamingo

The Luka dress from LeeZu is all about the fabric with its beautiful design and the form, with its exaggerated sleeves.

It’s funny how the mind works, I was looking at the fabulous new mesh dress from LeeZu and its extra-long sleeves. They reminded me of three former housemates of mine from Malaysia. They were Muslim women who usually wore Western dress but with longer skirts and a hijab that covered their bodice and sleeves to right about the length of these sleeves. They were already in my mind when I saw the back of the dress and all of a sudden out of my memory bank popped the Malay expression for rose, bunga mawar. I never actually learned Malay while living with them, but absorbed enough that I could contribute to a Malay conversation in English. I thought I had forgotten everything until I saw this dress.

Pink Flamingo

A bunga mawar by any other name would smell as sweet.

And the beat goes on

jun262012

This new babydoll dress from NYU is perfect for dancing and will let the beat go on in baby blue or pink.

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

You Have To Go To Baiastice

As a community I think we do a nice job of celebrating people when times are bad for them. We shower love and all those things we should’ve said when people are ill, dying, dead, etc. Which is pretty awesome. People will say that the fashionistas are cold materialistic bitches but, when you see the outpouring of love that we can generate – I think it betrays our true natures. We’re not bishes, we just play them on the Grid.

But, what if sometimes we told people how awesome they are – just because? It’s not a meme or a challenge. More like, I wanted to blog this dress and didn’t have anything witty or interesting to share. I remembered the first time I went to Baiastice with Cajsa. She said “You have to go to Baiastice, it’s amazing.” Continue reading
