Happy July 4th – A New Group Gift from Status Poses

Leave a reply

When I was a kid, the 4th of July meant a huge neighborhood picnic and desserts that were only trotted out once a year for this very special occasion. It’s a comforting memory, probably idealized, of a time and place where everything was easy, and special and for one day none of the neighbors were fighting only enjoying Marian Davis’s angel food cake with berries, and pies and cookies made by other neighbors.

It was perfect and peaceful…..at least when you were six.

Sometimes you meet people, that every time you speak to them, they make you feel comfortable and happy, and even if you don’t spend a lot of time with them, every interaction makes you wonder why you don’t.

One of those people for me, is Samara Barzane.

Thanks Sam, you made my day.

STATUS POSES group is a 50L fee but members get free gifts all year. I’m like AMEX, Membership has it’s privileges.

Status Poses is located on Amira.  You can join our group by searching groups for STATUS POSE 🙂

 

I Leave You With I Love You

It always makes me sad that people don’t dress to travel. It’s not an occasion any more, it’s just something we do. I feel like it IS an occasion and do like to make it special.

So I drew an I love you on my bag, so everyone would know. Continue reading →

My Second Box Launches – Showing Off Two of Five!

Leave a reply

When I was growing up, we’d drive to the city to shop. We’d shop at Ayres, and at each department we’d tell the clerk, “for delivery.” Makeup was purchased at department stores, Bluegrass perfume (appropriate for young girls), an odd bob or doodle for your hair, and the items you NEEDED – nylons, new shoes, a sweater or two, maybe coats.

My grandmother and mom were usually with me. We’d eat lunch at the tea room, maybe finish up the shopping in the discount cellar for fun and drive home. Magically, the next day, a truck would arrive with brown wrapped packages with all of our purchases in them. Continue reading →

Reflections of You: Tutorial

2 Replies

Way back in January, I saw a fantastic tutorial by Graphic Dix for Modavia Fashion Marketing on using Second Life’s water in an innovative way to capture reflections. We’ve all stood on the bank of a river or waded into the ocean and admired our reflections, but he took it to a new level.

SL9B

I wanted to do something similar and experimented a little bit and ended up going in a slightly different and, perhaps, easier direction, though achieving the same effect.  I began by finding a texture, in this case some mossy pavers from Zooboing Creations. I made a copy of the texture and using a big soft-edge eraser, I erased part of it, leaving it open alpha areas.

Narcissus With Red Lips – Another SL9B Preview

Narcissus in Red Lipstick

As Cajsa and I feverishly work on our SL9B exhibit, I took a break to snap another pic on our parcel because I just finished up my half of that work and was kind of excited.

I’m not going to spill the beans on our parcel’s theme but I think that the great big blogger family of SL will find it fun and interesting if nothing else.

The reason we have a parcel, is as Cajsa put it “Gidge had a whim.” That’s true. It was one of those messages I kept seeing on log in so HEY YAY FOR MARKETING I GUESS IT WORKED, and I was thinking, that’d be kinda cool, participate – be part of the community. In my mind, I had something very simple planned. I said “Hey CAJSA SIGN US UP.” And she did, we got accepted and she flailed “OMG NOW WHAT?” I had no idea.

Cajsa,  on the other hand does nothing half way, and what went from my whim has turned into a full on project that’s just amazing.

She’s lovely like that.

SL9B is coming……..

mmmmm…luscious red lips

Red lipstick! Red lips are the ones the songs are written about. One of the great musicals of all time can be brought to mind with just a single image of red lips. They’re powerful, bold and iconic. And they’re not for everyone, except today. Today is Red Lip Wednesday. Hopefully lots of us bloggers will flash our ruby red lipstick today.

Of course, nothing suits every person. We have our likes and dislikes. There are fashions I dislike and fads that leave me confounded and confused and asking why? Mostly though I shrug my shoulders and think to each his own. Certainly if we all looked the same and liked the same things, the world would be a much more boring place. So, let’s hear it for red lips! Here, there and everywhere.

I tossed this outfit together pretty quickly after shooting the wedding dress on Monday just before my set at The Velvet. There was no way I was dj’ing in a wedding dress! I remembered the gorgeous skirts from NYU for faMESHed. There were several colors and I loved them, so I pulled out another color. I dug around in my system clothing for something to wear with it and found this old top from Kunglers.

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps…

Rather than being responsible and working on my stuff for SL9B last night, I popped over to the Velvet to dance while Cajsa DJd. After about the third awesome and kind of random tune, I asked her what the theme was – joking “Just stuff I like?”

She said “yes that’s the theme, I couldn’t come up with one and as I flailed I decided to just make it stuff I like.” Continue reading →
