Mimikri 'Moo' Dress by you.

Mimikri has just released the Moo dress in a bunch of yummy Spring colors! I immediately fell in love with the teal & pink, knowing that it would look really well with Gala's latest skins. Gorgeous stuffffffffff. Here is the Moo dress in Teal and Pink!

Mimikri 'Moo' Dress by you.
The 'Moo' dress includes two skirt options: a pencil skirt and a flower skirt (all prim!). Both ways are gorgeous, but I like the flower skirt more because it's so girlie and pretty.

Mimikri 'Moo' Dress by you.

I am loving the new Gala skins sooo much, you're going to see it back to back more than a few times from now on this blog :D It's no secret I wear Gala quite often because the skins are beautiful and I love face and everything about it.

AOHARU - RoseLace_WeddingDress by you.

AOHARU has just released the Rose Lace Wedding Dress in fantastic Spring colors! There's White, for those who are traditional and Blue, Pink and Yellow too! These are the first sculpted train and fully sculpted veil that I've ever seen, and they look amazing in-world.

AOHARU - RoseLace_WeddingDress by you.

The lace detail is amazing and sculpted roses are cleverly placed all over the dress.

I really like taking photos in wedding gowns, and I think a lot of girls do too! Even if you don't plan on getting married, buy a dozen, buy them all!! A wedding dress is really just a dress, right? :)

New Hair at Exile!

by Gogo on February 22, 2009

in Fashion, MV-SL-Fashion

Happy Sunday everyone! Lots of new goodies on the grid today!

Exile 'Whitney' Hair by you.

Exile has just released the Whitney hair and it is hot! The wispy hair strands framing the face and shaggy layers all around make this do a must have. What do you think? I love it! Shown here is the Whitney in 'Mink', dark & sexy!

Exile 'Whitney' Hair by you.

The 'Eva Turtleneck' worn above is an exclusive group gift from Pink Outfitters! Tp there and click the subscribe-o-matic to get it. I am pairing this top with the latest release from Maitreya's, the Jules jeans skirt. The texturing is great but because it's sculpted, it makes wearing it kind of difficult. It looks great in certain poses but so-so if the pose has your legs parted too wide.

What I'm Wearing:

Exile – Whitney mink
Gala Phoenix – Petal [Dark] Breeze – Sepia 1
Maitreya – Jules jeansSkirt
Sheer – Tights Fishnet
Dark Mouse – Loves Labours Lost Necklace (Gold/Pearl)
Pink Outfitters – Eva Turtleneck (group gift)

This is one of the newer faces, the Vixen also includes all the features I've posted about previously, there are different makeups for this set. Also, the 'Vixen' have darker brows, and totally new lips and a different nose than the previously shown 'Breeze'. This combination makes for a slightly more mature looking face, great for those wanting to use them in modeling or just likes a slightly older look than previous Gala skins.

I will show you some quick shots of the body and urge you to run to the Curio sim now!

New Gala Skins, OMG!!

by Gogo on February 20, 2009

in Fashion, MV-SL-Fashion

Coming very soon! *EDIT* Gala's New Skins are in store now!

Gala 'Breeze' Petal (Dark) by you.
[ Click the image to see it in full size :: this shows off all the lovely skin tones ]

Gala Phoenix will be launching three lovely new faces, they are Breeze, Lovely, and Vixen. Each face has four skin tones: Acorn, Moonbeam, Petal, and Sundust and each skin tone has a Light and Dark version. There are six new makeups, but really it's twelve because each 'makeup' now includes two lipstick versions. I feel like Gala has totally spoiled her customers this time with so many choices!

When you purchase a makeup, you're not just getting one skin, but four different ones. For example, if you buy:

::GP:: Breeze-Acorn tone, you will be getting these:

:GP: Acorn [Light] Breeze-Pure 1
:GP: Acorn [Dark Breeze-Pure 1
:GP: Acorn [Light] Breeze-Pure 2
:GP: Acorn [Dark Breeze-Pure 2

But, that's not all, when you include the freckles versions too, that's eight skins for the price of one. Yep, freckles are included!

Shown here is Gala 'Breeze' in Petal (Dark) skin tone in all makeups! You will notice that for each skin, there are two different lipsticks version, what an amazing deal! See my Gala Phoenix Flickr Set for all the makeups in full size.

Gala 'Breeze' Petal (Dark) by you.

Last but not least, there are more details to the body and a sexy new 'afterglow' look :) I love the beach-y look, and this new body shading adds a sexy effect that lots of people loooove. Sexy or sweet, I find Gala skins very versatile for any look in SL and I wear it a lot. I'm very very very excited about these and I know Gala skin fans will be too!

Ok… one more! A close-up! It's too pretty not to share:

In this tutorial, I will show you how to use a resize script to easily modify hair, this is especially useful if you're not that great with modding prims via the edit menu. I like using this script for hair fatpacks, since I want them to be resized 'the same way' each time.

Typically for me, most hairs are too small so the scalp shows through the prim. This script can be used to shrink or resize by increments of 1%, 5%, or 10%. The script I am using for this tutorial is the SRU Resize scripts 2.4 by Wietse Cassini. Look up the creator's profile for picks to his shop.

How to use a Resize Script by you.

Step 1. Rez your hair on the ground (be sure to make a backup copy first!).

Step 2. Locate your scipt in your inventory.

Step 3. Right click on your hair on the ground, and select EDIT from the pie menu.

How to use a Resize Script by you.

Step 4. Drag all 3 resize scripts (resize controller, resize distributor, and resize resizer) into the Content tab of your hair.

Step 5. Touch your hair to populate the script throughout the prims. The hair I'm using is Maitreya's 'Faye' style, so this is what the script whispered…

Maitreya Faye – Natural Blond: Beginning child script injection
Maitreya Faye – Natural Blond: Done

Step 6. Once that's done, delete the resize distributor script from the hair.

How to use a Resize Script by you.

Step 7. Take the hair back to your inventory.

Step 8. Wear it and select the hair again by right clicking on it and go to EDIT, once the Edit menu for the hair pops up…

Step 9. Go to TOOLS on the client menu, and select 'Set Scripts to Running in Selection'. This step is crucial, if you don't do this the script will not work!

How to use a Resize Script by you.

Once you have selected 'Set Scripts to Running in Selection' a menu should pop up that looks like this:

How to use a Resize Script by you.

Wait for that to say 'done', then click on your hair to start resizing via the menu! :)

How to use a Resize Script by you.

If everything was done correctly, you will be able to resize the hair via the menu and also the traditional edit menu at the same time.

This may seem like a lot of steps at first, but it'll be second nature once you do it a lot. I like to use this method when resizing fatpacks of hair for uniformity.

This tutorial applies to anything you want to resize, not just hair! I hope it helps! :)

Happy
Sunday Second Life!! Sundays are great, even though every day is like
Sunday for me.. I still feel really happy when it is the SUNDAY!!! Lots of shopping this week to keep your wallet drained and your inventory bloated :)

1.
Atomic skin!! A small release of this brand new skin line is at the
Crush Row/Doll City sim, and it's quite lovely. Howeverrrrrrr……
there's a serious lack of choices! I won't pay $7,000L for a fatpack
with just 3 makeups and different variations of black eyeliner (light,
dark, darker?) and only one lipstick choice. That's not a fatpack…
hmm?

So I treated myself to a single makeup! This is the [ATOMIC] FSkin_Stardust_1C_Light. Pretty!

I looooove this 'SpringBreeze' hair from JUNWAVE, and it's only $80L per hair there. Gooo…run… go…
