With all of the photoshopping and windlighting and fancy things we bloggers do to pictures, it’s easy to forget that this isn’t the usual SL’ers experience. Some people come onto the grid and don’t even know HOW to change the lights. Personally, I remember someone teaching me how to make the sun come back as being a brilliant day. I got lamps for my SL house just FOR WHEN IT WAS DARK. I literally didn’t know what else to do. Continue reading
I am slightly addicted to pose props, particularly pose sets that come complete with the background, props and poses all in one gorgeous picture frame of goodness. That’s why I look forward the the photo boxes that Whimsy Winx releases for My Addict each time around. I had a lot of fun with the Bright Lights box, particularly after pulling out my own bright lights or projectors.
My friend has been blathering on in her “I am always right” sort of way that I needed to download Niran’s viewer because it makes Firestorm look like an old bag lady. Only she wasn’t so polite.
I’ve been an old Firestorm girl but since the gridlines and big black box issues, I just stopped taking pics in it mostly because I can’t FIX them. So today, before I logged in to shop, I downloaded Niran’s. The rest, is history. Continue reading
Onomatopoeia is the word that describes those words who sound like the sounds they describe. As the song goes, it’s “sort of zoom, zip, hiccup, drip
Ding, dong, crunch, crack, bark, meow, whinnie, quack.” But I think we need a word for words that sounds like what they mean. Take diaphanous, for example. Diaphanous usually is used to refer to sheer fabrics, but to me, the word even sounds diaphanous. Isn’t there something sort of light and feminine of the “dis” leading into the soft and delicate sound of “phan” that rolls in to whispery soft “pus.” Of course a word that sounds like that has to mean delicate, light, ethereal.
The Splash (onomatopoeia) dress from SySy’s is diaphanous. Its layers are sheer as cobwebs, a gossamer confection of sheer fabric floating over another layers of fabric and falling like a spindrift on the waves of the ocean. The ombre silver to green color of the fabric adds to the seafoam delicacy as to the waves suggested by the hemline.
Our own Hybie, before becoming a regular member of the IOF family, had a travel blog called Avatars In Motion. It was her blog, and Honour McMillans, that propelled me out of the studio to experiment with shooting outdoors. Continue reading
Our friends, associations, and experiences help shape us and create our likes, dislikes and contribute to the sum of us as people. When I learned to take pictures for this blog, it was after more than a year of Cajsa taking all of my photos. Looking at her style, the angles she used, the lighting, formed my own opinions on what was good, on what I liked – regardless of if I was even aware of it. Continue reading
I told Sasy I didn’t know what I wanted to do last night, and she said I should go to the movies. And well who am I to argue with Sasy? SO TO THE MOVIES I WENT! Continue reading
So waddya like in a party dress? Something kicky and festive? Or something formal and elegant like the black HOCO dresses 2022? Well, luckily, the grid isn’t running short of either this last holiday bash of the year. Continue reading
Sysy Chapman created a bustling formal gown for the Cinema event appropriately named Belle. With heavily gathered skirts and beautifully embroidered bodice, it’s a perfect fall evening gown. Continue reading
