You’ve caught me before I’ve sorted out what to wear today. It’s not even 8am, though, so really, I think you’re early rather than I’m late. Continue reading

You Should Do the Harvest Hunt
Anyone who knows me knows that I do not like hunting for things. Not in RL or SL. I have labeled folders in both lives, labeled drawers and a place for everything and everything in its place. Even my clothes are hung in the closet in ROYGBIV order so I NEVER HAVE TO HUNT for things. So, when I think something is worth hunting for, you can count on it being worthy. And believe me, the skirt from Bilo for the Harvest Hunt is worth hunting for.
It was so worthy it motivated me to get out of my box and go look for a setting as pretty as it is. I found Water Horse. I think it’s worthy.

Paperwork
Any regular reader of It’s Only Fashion knows that I am in love with playing with light and projectors in Second Life. I have also adopted the amazing PhotoTools skins from William Weaver that make the controls for Windlight, Depth of Shadow and other photo interfaces so much more accessible. He’s launched a new web site to share photo resources and tutorials all in one spot. If you’re serious about Second Life photographer, you should check out Paperwork Shows.
William Weaver has also made a few builds using projectors to create fabulous light effects. With extraordinary generosity, he has put four of those builds on Marketplace for free. This set was shot in his Edward Hopper build. They use a lot of prims, but they are placed with a rez box, so you can simply derez them when you are done.
One Dark Alley You Don’t Want to Avoid
Lost Angel made a fabulous Dark Alley couple’s pose set for Vintage Fair. It’s one that evokes Sam Spade and Brigid O’Shaughnessy and love, greed, betrayal and all those other old-fashioned values of the noir detective. Happily, I was able to still use the poses and just delete the one I was not using at the time. I did think about inviting someone to come pose, but figured that would just make me crash – since that was the way my viewer was behaving.
The Great Wall of China
I visted the Great Wall of China during my first month in Second Life five years ago and it was always a wonderful place to go. That’s why I was sad to read that it and three companion sims owned by Amiryu Hosoi may be forced to close. Please stop by and drop off a donation in the box at the landing point and don’t forget to shop at her store, Hosoi Design, if you’re looking for Japanese furnishings, prefabs and decor.
If you go out in the woods today
I can’t promise you would find a Teddy Bear’s Picnic, but the little bit of woods at Lettuce, home sim to Cafe Adrastea, does have the loveliest little glade of trees. A glade filled with flowers and light, though I could not resist adding a projector to give add some color to the light.
The June Party dress from Sn@tch is a floral explosion of color in itself. It’s got a very 50s silhouette with the figure hugging bodice, nipped waist and full skirt and is one of Sn@tch’s Vintage Fair creations. Ivey Deschanel made this lovely dress in six beautiful colors. The dress is made of system layers, sculpts and flexi. It’s one of the great things about Ivey and Sn@tch – the wisdom to choose the right technology for the dress. She makes excellent mesh, but knows that not every piece is best served with the latest technology.
You Can Almost See My Sn@tch
Every week Ivey Deschanel releases a new note card with another play on her stores infamous name. I’m not sure how she keeps it fresh, but I always secretly giggle a bit. Cajsa helped me with my inventory when I was sick once, and she was horrified to discover hundreds of new release notecards from Sn@tch.
They entertain me, what can I say? Continue reading
Farmer’s Market
I love to cook seasonal, locally grown foods and am lucky enough to have a weekly farmer’s market just three blocks from where I live as well as an organic supermarket and a organic food coop in the neighborhood. I stopped by this farmer’s market in Second Life but the selection was not nearly so extensive as in real life. There’s lots of melons, though, and nothing could be finer on a hot summer day than a fresh, cold melon. Many of you may not know that I also do a cooking blog, and there’s a fabulous watermelon salad recipe there if you want to pick up a melon here at the market on Scotland Creinch.
Schadenfreude Is Good For You!
I fell in love with the Schadenfreude dress for Collabor88. It’s adorable and the lace-up back is even more so, though you can see that in Zas’ first post highlighting the backs of several outfits.
