Leave a reply

I am clearly using the words retro-chic a bit tongue in cheek today, but I mean he’s got a POLAROID.

Yeah, you know what we did with that. 🙂

WE TOOK PICTURES WHAT DID YOU THINK I MEANT?

The SL Weekly Words Challenge is a weekly blogger challenge where I pose a word or words 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 words mean to you.

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!

There is a FLICKR group too for funz.

Some Cooking Role Play For Your Enjoyment

2 Replies

The #1 way you know that this is some sort of fantasy role play thing is that I’m doing things in a kitchen with pots. I don’t cook. I heat. My oldest child tells me that I make the best spaghettios ever and by GOD I think I do too.

But, the fine people at Le Bistro who have built this big store selling food items to role play family cooking with, or FRIEND COOKING if you don’t have a family, sent me a blogger sample so I thought, heck, I should cook some friends or something. ALAS it’s actually a real meal, not cooking your friends which is a totally different ROLE PLAY. Continue reading →

Remember That Time I Blogged Things?

Leave a reply

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 →

How to Use FILTERCAM – Yeah It's A Tutorial

2 Replies

My friend and fellow blogger Gala and some other people have asked me what is this Filtercam thing that Cajsa and I (and some others) have been on about lately. It’s certainly not NEW but what is new is that a whole new pack of filters has just been released, an expansion pack if you will, and it’s got the awesome written all over it. Of course – that information isn’t all that useful to you if you don’t know what we’re talking about in the first place.

So, let me explain. Continue reading →

IOF PSA: Marketing 101 for Bloggers – Social Networks

2 Replies

So after Cajsa did her unbelievably thorough marketing pieces for Creators (mostly fueled by frustration- don’t get us started) it was mulling through both our minds that not only do Creators need some sort of SOP and content marketing strategies for marketing success, so do us bloggers.

This list is by no means comprehensive or complete. Blogging is a real time evolving thing. It changes month to month. Day to day even. You don’t have to write complete sentences to be a blogger. (see what I did there?)

Regardless, there are some things you can do to improve your blog’s marketing and traffic and I thought I’d list of some of those basics here.

First of all quit lying about not caring about traffic. If you didn’t care about traffic your blog would be private or invitation only. You DO care. The degree to which you care is what is going to motivate you to take steps to market your blog effectively, and how aggressively you market yourself.

We bloggers are peacocks of various ilk. That’s ok. It’s what we do. So then, where to start? Continue reading →

Even Crazy Cat Ladies Can Work FILTERCAM

It’s story time my lovelies so pull up a chair.

Once upon a time, Mechanized Life had FILTERCAM on sale buy one gift one. So I was like, ok, everyone in the Fashion Mafia seems to have one, I must needs one too. So I bought one. But then I read the instructions. And they made me cry.

But recently, while swarmed with my kitties, I decided “Self, you oughta take a glimpse at that there FILTERCAM dealie you bought.” So I opened it up, opened the notecard and……..

It was really easy. Continue reading →

SL Weekly Words Challenge Week 2: Wants and Needs

8 Replies

Thanks to Elusyve for posing with me. 🙂

The SL Weekly Words Challenge is a blogger challenge where I suggest two words each week and bloggers are encouraged to portray those words with an image. New or old, it doesn’t matter. What matters most is expressing yourself creatively and having fun.

One person’s happy words might be another persons sorrow. Sharing what they meant to you in a picture is wonderous to me and I can’t wait to see what you guys do this week.

For Wants and Needs I chose an image of comfort with one of my best friends, Elusyve. When I’m sad and shaken she soothes me. She makes me laugh and I can truly say she gets me.

I’m lucky, that my wants and needs often coincide in one place, love and friendship.

Next weeks word: Deliberate

Oh and if you are interested – this is the link to the FLICKR group for the Challenge!
