Making Your Own Child's AO

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bebU19ePujU]

Gidge’s SL daughter, Hatchy Mills, made an adorable child’s Animation Override at a very low cost. With the popularity of children’s avatars growing, there is a need for children’s AO that produce the naive, unaffected and innocent movements and stances of children.  While a child at Hogwarts would need something more sedate than this one, there’s nothing to stop you from making your own AO at little cost.

52 Weeks of Color…. Week 34~MAUVE

I did a little inventory search and I came up with an amazingly CUTE dress from STC! I LOVE when I do a color search and I come up with something I don’t think I’ve ever worn (I know I shop too much) although I don’t think the designers think so….. This dress has some great gathering on the bodice and lovely ruffling on the hemline and the sleeves, which can be worn or not.
Mauve-34a

I’m in love with those butt ruffles…….

Bendy knees

Look, my boots are bending. I mean, at the knee.  I’m in one of Lassitude & Ennui’s new mesh overknee boots, the one that perfectly matches this dress from AZUL.  How did that happen?  Amaze.  This gothy little item is a limited edition for AZUL’s reopening, and I really like how it frames the wings on my back.  Two more photos and the credits behind the cut.

Remember That Time I Was Taller Than Cajsa?

Neither do we. I changed my shape like once a year ago almost and Cajsa NEVER changes hers hardly regardless, we’re never surprised when one of us shows up for a shoot together remarkably taller than the other.

It’s one of those little things you just can’t predict. Other than to be sure, it’ll happen. Continue reading

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

sept02c_004

Story has it that Pauline Kael, the late great film critic, was in Italy where she saw a poster for a James Bond film with the title “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and she quipped “Those words are perhaps the briefest statement imaginable of the basic appeal of movies” They were also the title of one of her books and later of a a film noir send up with Robert Downey, Jr. and Val Kilmer. In Second Life, though, it’s a clothing store – one with fun clothing at amazing prices. My bright yellow dress is from KKBB and was only three lindens. It comes in several colors, but I loved the yellow – a bright yellow in default lighting.

Don't Go Into The Dark

Or is it don’t go into the light? I can never remember which it is. Because if you go into the dark there are likely to be some sort of demons or zombies or zombie-demons waiting. But if you go into the light, then some sort of Mormon Quaker Oats man tries to eat  your soul.

At least, this is what I gleaned from Poltergeist 2. Continue reading

Que le vaya bien.

Adios a Mexico, Distrito Federal, lo faltaremos mucho. It’s always said to hear that another sim is leaving. I know there is a cycle and new sims are born and old ones get sold, remade and revived sometimes, but I would love to get new sims and still keep old sims. I don’t know the reason D.F is closing or when its last day will be, but I am going to shoot a few sets there before it goes. Distrito Federal, or DF, is a sim based on Mexico City, but many of its charms come from navigating the underground and exploring the powergrid. There are many levels to the city and you should explore them before it’s gone.
