Winter's Hollow

2019-12-02T23:48:00.000-04:00

I really wanted to take a picture last year when I purchased this festive hat at a random event I happened upon around Christmas '18. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time and so it sat in my inventory for a year before I had the right opportunity and circumstances to take a pic with it. I'm sorry to say that I looked for this same hat, made by Tres Beau, but couldn't find it in the shop or the MP. It's likely been retired. I think it's one of the prettiest hats I own.

This pic is mostly about the accessories. The Moncada Paris bag comes in all sorts of configurations and they included this one if you want to carry this bag around with you in this way. The hold animation stays firm while you walk around. I found it took my Secret Pose to a new level when the two animations combined.

It was the first real day of winter in my town and the wind felt like a punishment. I just dug out my winter coat and hat and scarf yesterday and now, as I sit warm and cozy inside, I can hear the wind howling and blowing the first snow of the year through the streets. This pic is more a wish of mine than anything else.

When I saw new shapes from { wren's nest } at the Sense event, one made for a favorite Session skin of mine, I knew I had to have it. Better still, her shape for the Genus Strong Head is so striking that I got to work trying it out with my other Genus skins and demos. (So so many demos lol). I hit on this fabulous combination using my new Not Found skin. I just love the look.

Test Driving The Mesh Project's New Legacy Body

2019-04-28T22:44:00.000-03:00

I always liked the old Mesh Project Classic body, so I was happy to learn they had launched two new bodies recently. They have an update to their old Classic TMP body in the main shop and last time I looked, it was discounted for anyone who had the older version, but the new sensation on the block is their new Legacy Mesh Body.

It's definitely turning heads out on the grid and the Moderators in the Official TMP group say that there are quite a few developers who are primed to start making wares for it so it's going to be an exciting time!

Neo-Japan Photo Contest

2019-04-13T09:43:00.000-03:00

Before I entered this newest contest, I took a look at some of the amazing entries already submitted. Lots of energy, light, movement in so many good pictures. Others had bursts of color and told more quiet stories. I wanted to get a sense of Japan and what it meant to everyone. I almost included swords in this pic--I could invest in some nice ones or tour Neo-Japan to see what else they offered, but decided that many people are doing jumps or poses with swords and there has to be something else beyond that. I just love the things I did buy from there and decided against going too matchy matchy with the elements I already had (color-wise). And most importantly, I decided not to hold swords but try to achieve something more ambiguous and something with some symmetry and leave it alone.

I might not get views, I might not win any awards, but I'm usually happy with my efforts, I appreciate the hard work and artistry that goes into the mesh creations and the work of the photographers and bloggers, and that's a happy place to stay.

My last kick at the can for the Swallow Ears Contest. This pic was a bit of a scramble as my first idea for this last shot had already been done and done very well by someone else. So, back to the drawing board and I'm happy with the result now that I've put my own spin on things.

My Swallow Ears Contest Entry

2019-04-04T08:04:00.001-03:00

Did somebody say contest? Swallow is having a photography contest and I'm entering a couple of photos into the mix. This is my take on a Manic Pixie Dreamgirl but fell a little short when I failed to add enough sprinkles, sparkles, and bokeh. I thought having a jackalope would be enough.

My theme for this post is Gifts. I wanted to acknowledge my thanks in a picture that is made up of gifts, sale items, giveaways, and most importantly gifts of time and attention to detail that really showcase what a labor of love many shop owners and designers have for their art. From the beauty of Mystical Fae, to the generous gift of time I once received from Onyx LeShelle (Maitreya) when I was a noob and didn't understand my mesh feet--she took the time to make me a special set of foot bases.

I'd also like to thank [kunst] for including some instructions on how to improve your photography on a Notecard that's taking my photos to a whole other level, and thanks to my friend Kiylee for the wonderful tartan pants from Vinyl!

This week I took advantage of some free time and shopped for a look that's a little out of the box for me.

The Link

2018-04-07T13:09:00.002-03:00

I love to do two things in Second Life. I enjoy exploring and I love to go to clubs. Luckily for us, we have a new place to visit on The Grid that skillfully combines a sort of post-apocalyptic feel with elements of fantasy. Some areas are still in the creative-development phase, but drop in anytime to catch a DJ set at The Link, or wander round and immerse yourself the land's broken and haunting atmosphere. Pattern Recognition offers something for everyone with games and amusements, affordable rental units, as well as it's great new club--The Link--with another club in development, that will be opening it's 'virtual' doors soon.

Chernobyl Area

When I spoke to the owner, Cygnostic Flux, he explained, "I just want to give people good deals on not-for-profit rent, build a cool community, and get some clubby hangout music lover stuff going on."

As I explored the sim, I uncovered some amazing and unique photo opportunities tucked within it's custom builds and attention to the small details. The propellers spin, the severed wires buzz with static, and the geometric flowers, tended by gigantic bees, diffuse an alien orange light. It's a great beginning to what's sure to become an amazing and dynamic space for people to come together. New elements are being added so be sure to check back often to see how it all comes together.

Chernobyl Area (under construction)

Pattern Recognition has so much to offer, with a second new club opening and other custom elements being added or re-arranged, I'll be sure to do a follow-up blog post in future. In the meantime, feel free to drop in, take some pictures, catch a DJ set and explore. There's a group joiner at The Link's landing spot, and be sure to check The Link's Online Schedule for club opening times. There's friendly and professional staff on hand and a Contact Us Form if you have any further questions. Hope to see you there!

An old gown gets new life

I admit in the early days of Second Life, I didn't always have much money to spend. Often, I'd resort to window shopping and having to save up for the things I really did love until I could afford them. One place I frequently window shopped was Lybra. These days, their focus has shifted from gowns to more trend-setting creations. This gown was a purchase from a few years ago and no longer available. But, I'm so looking forward to loading up on new demos and showing off some of their latest trendy styles in some of my upcoming future blogs. Stay tuned!

Hello everyone! I've recently updated the template for my blog and unfortunately, my old posts were formatted differently and didn't easily fit into the new layout. So, to get things rolling again, I've decided to go back into my Flickr pics to choose some of my favorite outfits to showcase while I catch up. It's still under construction and the Instagram and other links are either someone else's or holding places until I can develop my own stuff. Thanks for your patience and thanks for visiting while I develop my own links!
