I was underwhelmed with Materials the first few releases I was introduced to. I don’t mean that as an insult, but as a consumer when you hear creators raving about something for weeks and then you see and think “Oh, that’s all it is? Shiny?” it’s hard to disguise your let down.
I definitely agree that items with materials have more lustre, but other than some furniture items (leather) I just didn’t see the OOOMPH or a real reason to rave like it was the second coming. Continue reading
I am always thrilled by designers who do not take their inspirations too literally, but instead use them as a springboard to develop something completely unexpected. Such is the case with Valentina Evangelista of Valentina E. who used the idea of the poisoned apple in Snow White to come up with this dress. Released in quite dangerous shades of green, red and black, it contains many of the elements that suggest danger from the snakeskin it’s made of to the sinuous femme fatale design. It is a creative expression of the inspiration and totally unexpected.

One of the reasons I enjoy Fashion Week in real life and Second Life® is the abundance of high fashion designs that are haute, haute, haute. Take the Liana gown from Zanze. There’s nothing practical or sensible about and that is why I love it.

It was serendipity that I didn’t change out of my tights and shoes when I tried on my new dress from LivGlam. PERFECT! This one was on of my total wins from Rock Your Rack, and it’s my favorite fall pick up – of the week. 🙂 Continue reading
Never be intimidated by a girl who likes books.
You never know what kind of tricks she’s learned in them. Continue reading
Please don’t confuse Flower in My Attic with the books. This recent My Attic cycle is a celebration of beauty and the effervescent abundance of flowers. Is there anyone who is not moved by the sheer exuberance of flowers? Isn’t it wonderful that these plants have such a lovely, giving way to propagate? Of course, since I love pose props, I had to check out Whimsy Winx’s latest for My Attic and her attic does not disappoint, though really, someone should pick up once in a while. There are papers all over the floor. I was also playing around with a projector I am working on to sell on Marketplace. It’s not done yet because I am still thinking about whether I have the spacing right. Yes, it’s just 1 prim with a texture, but I can still have creative difficulties like a real creator, hahaha!!
This outfit is from Lacuna and is also for My Attic (the floral shorts could be considered a clue). Because it’s an extra special cool top, you get two versions. This top is peach and jade. The other is jade and peach. I had to add 2 notches to the gravity on my breasts to fit it, but perhaps I notched them up a bit for something else.
Tymmerie Thorne has coordinated a virtual tour of homes, to inspire us, to allow us to ooo and ah over the amazing ways the creations of Second Life are put together, and frankly to perv cam people’s bedrooms. Cuz you know, wockachickawockchickawockchicka.
The Tour is Today and Tomorrow – and you can get more info here. Continue reading
…is that I want everything perfect the moment I lay the house. Why isn’t everything where it goes? Oh wait, I have to DECIDE where it goes? New house, new floorplan? UGH. Decisions!
Baiastice’s contribution to THE ARCADE this month was the amazing set of Fairies and the shelf for them to sit on. I decided they were PERFECT above my fireplace. I won’t be told otherwise.
Barnesworth Anubis’ LAKESIDE COTTAGE will be the venue for my SL adventures, at least for a while. It’s so gorgeous, I still can’t get over all the windows looking out into the sea. I’m in love with this plot and the way the house works here.
My alcove loft I’ve converted into a study and whimsical family room area. It’s the closest to done in the house.
I can get used to this.
The amazing dress is DCNY. Shoes are LVLE. All else is also awesome, and in the credits.

Decoy Top from August Collabor88 paired with Yse skirt from Baistice for FaMESHed
I shot these pictures earlier this month, before Collabor88 closed and re-opened with the new September collection so many items are from the August Collabor88 session. You can look for them at the stores. I have had a hard time just starting this blog post and it will probably be short.
Well, it said if I joined the group I got a free horse. I was probably wrong to presume it would be as nice as the horses other people were riding. But, I was whisked back to 2008 with this beauty.
Also my world became lag hell while riding her, and had to abandon.
I wasn’t really dressed to ride though, actually. So it’s just as well. Continue reading
