MySecondBox.Com – WOMENS is OPEN for Enrollment!

MySecondBox.Com

MySecondBox.com – the premier subscription fashion service has opened and is now available to join! Just search Mysecondbox WOMENS to join.

What is this? Well lemme ‘splain.

Some of you may be familiar with Birchbox or other services where you pay a low monthly fee, usually ten bucks, and receive a box of sample beauty products which usually includes one full size product in the box. It’s kind of fun, a box of goodies, many of which you have never even heard of and for us girly girls, it’s like a present out of nowhere. Lotions, hair bobs, perfumes, lipsticks, it all just arrives in a little box and once a month you fall in love with a new product.

MySecondBox.com works the same way except, you aren’t getting demos. These are real creators that will be sending you out one item, each month you’ll get five gifts for a monthly subscription fee of 300L. No lag. To missed delivery. If you didn’t pick up the item when it’s sent, just go into group notices and pick it up there.

The first three months rotation of creators are pretty hot:

Adore & Abhor
Alice Project
AURA
BOTHER
caLLie cLine
Caroline
CrackedMirror
Discord Designs
Elymode
Exposeur Poses
Frooti
Glitterati
House of London
La Petite Morte

Le Bloom

Temporarily you must join the group at the beginning of each month as they aren’t able to set up a monthly fee via groups. However – a scripted solution is forthcoming.

Gifts will be delivered mid-month so don’t delay – get signed up.

Creators who might be interested in joining for future rounds – contact Kesseret Steeplechase.

COMING SOON – Mysecondbox for MEN and HOME & GARDEN!

A Busy Weekend for Fashionistas

Night Wish

This is a busy weekend for those who love fashion in Second Life. There’s so much going on my head spins. Thankfully, Evelyn Hartshon who works on Blogging Second Life with me has compiled a directory of events to help keep track. Of course, if you click that link you run the risk of spending all your lindens.

On Sunday Chic² opens to celebrate the second birthday of Chic Management. I stopped by the bloggers preview and was wowed by its simplicity coupled with the overwhelming variety of offerings from the 150 designers who have come together to celebrate this milestone.

Can’t Orkney firbkkk phone

Zenith June

Can you believe Gidge posted this morning before heading off for surgery? She also live-plurked her way through much of the pre-operative process of drugs and painkillers preparing her for surgery, until her last pre-surgery message, “Can’t Orkney firbkkk phone.” Orkney is where mommies go to nap.

Ahoy!

Ahoy, matey.

…So then I began to house-hunt in Real Life and dropped off the grid for a while… But I’m still dipping my toes in. Case in point, I logged in to find this gorgeous little number that might as well be a clubbing outfit, a bathing suit from Katat0nik. Cheeky! (Seriously, the arse is especially great in those swim suit bottoms. Wish I could find one half as decent in RL.)

And then, below, I played with the Polaroid Fun set from Miss Shippe’s Studio. She has a set of three different washes for your hud- or attachable-polaroid snapshots, and I like how it emulates Instagram/Hipstamatic. (I added the caption below using Photoshop.)

Enjoy your summers, y’all! Don’t get too serious!

Snap!Skin: Miasnow Skin 2012: Sweety in pale with auburn eyebrows
Outfit: Katat0nik (candy blue) Sailor Bikini with gloves
Hair: lamb! Pearl (mesh) in Milkshake color
Polaroid: Miss Shippe’s Studio Polaroid Fun in the Summer Sun set

Maybe Makybe

Makybe Whippet & Buck

I was drawn to this dress after seeing Real Housewives star Heather Dubrow sporting her 99th outfit with a white Peter Pan collar attached to it because it was a pleasure to see a dress where a Peter Pan collar made sense. This is a sweet and simple casual dress without the layers of lace and chiffon and sequins that she wears with her white collars. Don’t get me wrong. I like an unusual detail and fashion eccentricities, but when it becomes a schtick, people stop paying attention to you and pay attention to your gimmick instead.

it’s all very clear (NSFWish)

Look I’m standing naked before you
Don’t you want more than my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can’t claim innocence.

Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn’t forever
And its not the weather
Hand me my leather.

I could just pretend that you love me
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can’t hold what I hold dear.

Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn’t forever
And its not the weather
Hand me my leather.

Hybie Is Wearing:

Skin: Lara Hurley – Mia Doll – Milky
Hair: Magika 01 Flourish – mesh
Panties: MUSCHI Panties Down (s2) Red – Mesh
Pose : Savoir Faire Poses – Oopsie (02) – coming soon
Bedroom Set: Fluid Furniture – Abyss BR Set

Green with Envy

Shiki Envy

Shinichi Mathy has released two new dresses for Shiki Designs this week.  I was drawn most to this beautiful, closely-fited sheath called Envy which comes in green, blue and yellow.  I can see Joan Holloway wearing this dress, can’t you?

Phototools Tutorial – Take Back Your Windlight Control

PHOTOTOOLS TUTORIAL PIC 1

There are very few things I have hated as much as I have loathed the changed to the windlight settings in the new UI. I deal with them, as do you, but basically, what a pain in the ass they made it.

On plurk the other day, my friend Isa linked to PHOTOTOOLS which is a Firestorm plug in that you can use to wrestle back control into one easy interface option and make your photoshoots so much simpler.

First of all, go to Phototools and DL the plug in.

Follow the instructions it gives you in the zip file. You will be replacing some of the files in your Firestorm skins folder. I made a copy and put them in a handy dandy folder. It’s very easy and took me about two minutes.

Now, restart Firestorm and hit the QUICKSTART button at bottom right. You now get a different menu.

You will see that your camera control options are a bit different now too. For your windlight settings you have rocker arrows as well as drop downs.

A quick tap of water and sky arrows gave me a completely different look. But there’s more. Continue reading
