Ladies to the manner born, as it were. Continue reading

Snow Day

Is it cold where you live? It’s not where I am, I think it reached 80 degrees here in So. Cal on Christmas. Luckily SL provides me with all the snowy wintery goodness I could ever need. I can’t remember where I took these shots but I believe the sim is in the destination guide.
Anywho, did I mention how much I love mesh? No? Okay, well I love the mesh. Here is an outfit from a shop called TEN”10. I got the sweater, the skirt and the boots together for like 600L from the marketplace. Not a bad price at all. The outfit makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Perhaps it’s because the outfit IS warm and fuzzy.

Hybie is wearing:
Outfit: TEN”10 Outfit # 1 (all mesh)
Hair: [LeLutka]-YIPPIE hair – Burnt (mesh)
Eyes: Ibanez Liquid Eyes – nebula
Skin: -Belleza- Lily Pale Dark Xmas Gift
Lashes: KOSH- NO ALPHA LASHES V5

Merry Christmas, Baccara Rhodes

In Oregon, there are all sorts of buildings, streets and villages named after our pioneers. If we did that in Second Life, surely there would be many towns, sims and maybe even an ocean named after today’s guest stylist. Second Life launched on June 23, 2003 and just a little over a month later on July 10th, Bacarra Rhodes rezzed in-world for the first time.  In the book, Second Life: The Official Guide she is even designated The Grid Queen.

When I saw her gorgeous purple ball gown I wanted to shoot at Wanderstill on the Ode sim which reminds me so much of Monet with its lush abundance of flowers. I also used Elysium Elide’s windlight settings to give me that saturated rich purple sky.

Eek! I am frightened! I must emote!

Peatonville Asylum is a scary place even wearing such a perfect little top and sweater as this. The top may be familiar to you as it conquered the grid, the metaverse and the galaxies of Gallafrey when it was released earlier this year. The sweater, on the other hand, will be released into the wild by Wynter for the Peace on Earth hunt starting on Dec. 3rd. At such a scary place, a person might expect to look a bit frightened, which is assisted by a recent discovery on Marketplace – a freebie that belongs in every photographer’s pocket.

You see, not only does it allow me to choose the typical emotes, but it also gives me control of my eyes and my hands. The skirt, by the way, is also from the Peace on Earth hunt – from CIA. It comes with a luscious ruffled top, but the top plunges like a rollar coaster which made it just a bit dressy for the look I wanted.

SL WEEKLY WORDS CHALLENGE: ABANDON

Back by popular demand! The word for this coming week is ABANDON.

Abandon:  to leave completely, forsake utterly, desert, to give up, discontinue, withdraw from.

The pic is a bit hestitant Ophelia, isn’t it?

The SL Weekly Words Challenge is a weekly blogger challenge where I pose a word and you take that word and depict it with an image. There is no right or wrong way to do this challenge. Pictures can have avatars or not, it’s about what that word means to you.
There is a small but festive FLICKR Group to post your pics too as well.

So feel free to participate. And there is no deadline, no rules, just something to inspire you besides “what shoes go with this?” which is why I created the challenge in the first place. Thanks to you who left me comments asking me to keep going. I needed a kick!

Next weeks words  for those who need time for ideas to brew- CRISP AND CLEAN.

Remember That Time I Blogged Things?

Cold weather does nothing but inspire me to skin pixel animals and wear their furs and hides for my own comfort. In RL I don’t believe in wearing any animal I don’t eat – that seems reasonable to me, but in SL I’d skin your baby unicorn and wear it with glee.

Now, someone make me a unicorn leather jacket. Baby Unicorn please. and like, make the buttons out of the horn or something equally horrible. Continue reading

Hair Baby There Mama Everywhere Daddy Daddy……

It was a hair extravaganza this past weekend with both Exile and Truth releasing the hounds on ugly hair. Nothing but soft and pretty as far as the eye could see, and I’m sure the feeds were already littered with pics of them but a few more can’t hurt plus I was busy with RL and didn’t get to post.

Pictured above are the three new releases from EXILE and below are the FIVE new releases from Truth and praise baby Jesus he released one for the boys.

Well, for the boys who wear short hair anyway.

If I Could Walk On Water

I had one of those great mornings on the grid today. I completed a set and got it out for sale, talked to my friend Dove and found this BITCHING dress from THE ICING which desperately needed me to wear it.

I forgot I had this, how is that possible? Have I worn it before? Honestly, I don’t even care. If I previously blogged this dress it’s so flawless it deserves a second run. Continue reading
