Snow Queen

December 9, 2016

Well, the cold snap has finally happened where I live, and it has been a dreaded time indeed. I’ve always loved the heat of Summer. Every year it gets more and more difficult to bear these subzero temps.

So, then why did I decide to make a wintery post? I only did it because I saw this gorgeous dress by Junbug at this round of Uber and immediately envisioned the dress as a majestic, snow queen, ensemble.

This is the first time I have bought anything by Junbug, but I’ve admired the brand for awhile. If you love beautiful dresses, definitely check Junbug out!

I’m A Little Bit Gypsy

October 28, 2016

It’s been a few years since I blogged anything SL. I thought after how crazy this year has been for me in RL (good and bad) and since the winter months are coming, I needed to dabble in some creative things connected to SL again. So, I’m dusting this baby off!

The blog has a new look, to go with a new era in my blogging activity; though it will be subject to tweaking until I get it looking just right! Also, I have been experimenting with iMovie in order to make videos in Second Life. I recorded my first video showing off the most recent Luxe Box items, but I think I’m just going to treat it as practice and not post it. The thing was 1hr 11min!

Uh, I need to speed the hell up! Yea, wish me luck with that!

So, on to the outfit…

This Anisha Ruffle Blouse and Ziya Tiered Skirt is Zaara’s most recent release for October’s Collabor88. I have long been a fan of Zaara Kohime’s work. I believe the oldest piece that I have from her was created in 2008/09. Her textures are always exceptional, and her designs gorgeous. It’s always a treat to see her new creations.

Like…Totally…Dressing Like I’m from Clueless

November 11, 2012

Alright, I have a feeling my thoughts may be a bit all over the place in my blog here, but eh…I like random so here goes.

I have been wearing this ensemble in Second Life for days because I have been meaning to blog it. The little dress reminded me of something Alicia Silverstone wore in the movie Clueless, and since it is one of those movies on my list of those that I never get tired of…I had to have it. It was designed by Cracked Mirror for the November FaMeshed.

The hair, also from FaMeshed and made by Wasabi Pills, was really right on the money with the overall look. I love the texture change headband. It added to that preppy type look. What is not so preppy is the fishnets from Erratic, and the shiny black boots from Gos. I guess…this is more like preppy/dom?

I totally had to stop mid post to fix the lines I missed in the above image. I apparently wasn’t being observant in Photoshop…oops. Can’t LL do something to eliminate that glitch by now? Ugh. Anyway, I digress…

One thing I really wanted to mention in this post was about an upcoming event called Unhinged. I haven’t blogged an event for quite sometime, and to be honest, the logo was what initially attracted my attention. There is a really cool skull on it. It made me curious and upon reading the event info, I signed up for the blogger list last minute. If I would have known earlier, I would have tried making something for it. It says it is a gatcha festival for the head of Eku Zhong, the talented creator behind the wonderful pieces at Culprit.

For the head of Eku Zhong? Yes. That is right. It sounds strange to put it in those terms, but that is what it says on the event blog. Without getting too medical jargon-y here, it is a benefit to help assist with costs for a surgical implant to structurally reinforce a part of her skull that has become fragile. Please see the Unhinged blog for the full story, as I cannot do it justice here. The event is still looking for entertainment and people who would like to be involved, so you can check the blog out for that information as well.

I really love to see the beauty of humanity when SL residents come together to aid one person because the community cares or admires that person. It is nice to know that in a virtual world, we can connect and help others–albeit it may only be in a small way.

I’m Not Just Your Ordinary Jane

March 3, 2012

March Mesh Madness has begun, and the event is currently in full swing on FATEisland. A number of talented mesh creators have some amazing items to display, and hopefully I will be able to get a few more posts about it published before it ends.

I am in awe of many of the creations showcased at MMM. First of all, as someone who is struggling to learn the 3D modeling program Blender, I appreciate the agony many of these artists must have gone through learning their respective design programs of choice. To be able to create a realistic looking dress out of a cube or two is mind blowing.

One dress I particularly loved for its clean design, popping color, and somewhat bohemian feel, is this Emily Dress by Jane. The top portion is loose and free, and the skirt has just enough flare at the bottom.

The jewelry set and hair are also mesh and can be found at MMM as well. The jewelry pieces, by Maxi Gossamer of MG, are fantastic quality and design, as well as very affordable. You can buy one color of the Giselle Opal Set, or purchase all the colors in the fatpack. I loved this new long hairstyle by Magika, and it comes with a convenient color change HUD and a mirrored version of the style.
