What I think

After I linked to my Ruthed.com post, a couple of people went out of their way to leave Anonymous “hate” comments that was neither necessary nor relevant. I have no issue with Yoko Leeroy’s pricing at all — in fact, I talked to her today, and now I have a clearer understanding of why her Pick was worded that way. It was rude, but she said that some fellow creators sent her IMs saying she was ruining their only source of income — which sounded familiar to me. When Eloh Eliot first released her skins PSD, some people also had the same outrage. And look where we are now? The skins economy is not ruin, and in fact, we have even more brands to choose from than before.

I am happy when I can talk things out with people who may offend me at first glance. I can’t say the same for some of you guys in SL though, who went out of your way to IM Yoko after my link and said, “I can’t believe what Gogo did to you!”

To people who went out of your way to IM Yoko, LOL @ YOU. It got you into her shop didn’t it?  Shame on you, for trying to fuel the fire :)

Yoko thanked me for her extra sales today :)

Grazia is having Elven Ears week on her blog — so I am having my own open mouth/teeth week on JuicyBomb. This is something that people either love or love to hate… and I honestly think that some people pull it off well and some looks a bit ‘horsey’ so if you’re against modifying your shape, perhaps this won’t be the best look for you.

A lot of people also ask me where I get this specific teeth tattoo: see this article :)

I wrote the post for Ruthed.com a couple of weeks ago, and I still stand by it. I have no further comments about it, so if you desperately wanted these, there you go.

If I paid for something, crediting is at my discretion. I don’t ever feel like I “owe” it to SL residents or creators to credit anything not given to me. /the end

Sequin leggings… I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out a way to wear these! Hucci does it so well (although they don’t come with prim cuffs) so you’ll have to wear them with boots or some type of socks to cover up the cuff area. To me, it just looks weird if it’s not covered up.

I’m at Embryo! What a gorgeous little snow sim.

What I’m Wearing:

Laqroki – Phoebe2 08 (Fair) Glow Skin
Lamb – Wild Nothing (Powder)
BOOM – Warmth Thermal (Driven)
BOOM – Righteous Muff (Wheat)
Hucci – Zebra Sequin Leggings (Champagne/Silver)
Gos – Slouch Boots (White)

I don’t consider myself an SL hoarder but there are a couple of things I just can’t delete. One of them being Last Call items, even though one of my close friends told me that she deleted her entire collection already *sobs!*

They’re getting dated, but I’m still fond of them. Do I keep hoarding it or donate it to someone that will love it more?

Someone wished me a happy rez day today, otherwise I would have totally forgotten. I guess being around in SL after 4 years and still enjoying every day of it is a blessing. I really hope for more of the same, so here’s to 4 more years of being in SL — both me and Juicy sims, forever and ever and ever… til SL turns out the lights :)

I’ve been wearing this Indyra Originals Republica Fur Jacket for a few days now and I really like it. I had to modify it a lot though, cos some of the fur prims were FULL BRIGHT (yuck!) and sometimes SL is wonky and wouldn’t let me uncheck it. Also, this jacket is huuuge… it fits OK right out of the package but you’ll need to position it in place to fit your avatar’s frame. I also thought it was kind of ‘pricey’ to sell the same color jacket (with different colored trimmings) for $350L each. I normally don’t mention prices, but I really wanted this in White with Pink, Silver, and Gold trimmings without having to pay for a new jacket each time. It would have been a nice option! Now, I can totally understand paying twice if I wanted this jacket in Black too, but I just wanted it in White with all the trimmings available!!!!

Anyways.. that’s the endo f my rant. I guess I am spoiled by some designers who offers lots of options, and those are the ones that gets lots more love :)

What I’m Wearing:

Truth – Gwyneth (Swedish)
LeLutka – Natashya (Hush) Makeup1
cheLLe – (blush) Everyday Blush 1
cheLLe – (mole) Mole! 2 *right eye*
Zaara – Acira dress (Jade)
Indyra Originals – Republica Fur Jacket (White/Pink)
Courtisane – Esprit de Sable (Old White)

Hey, While i’ve always liked your pics and write-ups, this one has me a bit sad. The title of the post is about boots, and then you proceed to go on about a jacket, showing only one picture of the boots which show nothing about them. for all you can honestly see in the picture, they might as well be just two black prims. some good pictures of the boots showing a side profile to them etc so people can see what they actually look like instead of simply two pics showing off how good you look in those pictures would be much more appreciated. a little blurb out of three paragraphs about the boots does not mean the post should be entitled Coco boots. -Quandri

Once in awhile, I get feedback on JuicyBomb that I completely agree with! You’re totally right Quandri, that was fail on my part to gush about the boots here, then not even show a close-up picture. What can I say? I was trying to do artsy in-world images and my train of thought when I do those are totally different from my regular* posts.

*Regular = boring snapshot on my pose stand with a plain background.

A lot of bloggers do Look of the Day (LoTD) type posts and never show any close-ups but I actually prefer to shoot something plainly rather than do LoTD type posts. I guess I like to mix it up once in awhile, but when I don’t do a close-up, I get totally called out for it! :P

Doing close-ups with a plain background is faster for me than going in-world and finding a nice place to take photographs. But it just seems that people in SL are constantly praising the blogs that do “such amazing photos” or people who are awesome at Photoshopping that I feel like my blog is um, boring. Well, boring but it gets the job done because I get between 2000-3000 visits daily (and closer to 4000 when I’m bitching at something, lol).

Anyways, Quandri made a very good point about the CoCo Boots. I should have done a close-up photo. I don’t like it when people gush about something and you can barely see it in their photo, and then.. blah, I did it on my own blog.

So here you go, lots of close-ups! I hope these will encourage you to check out the boots in-world, there are demos! And I’m not paid for by CoCo to do this post.. (or given free shoes, sadly *sobs*).

CoCo – Engineer Boots (Black)
CoCo – Over-the-knee Boots (Black)

Armidi is back! You can read all about it at theofficialpressrelease.com site. For those of you who are newly rezzed, the Armidi designers are alts of previous designers in SL.

• London Armidi = (Armidi)
• Adian Armidi = (Armidi)
• Juju Armidi = Julliette Westerburg (Tres Blah)
• Hudsen Armidi = Emma Gilmour (Surf Co)

I guess we’ll be seeing lots more Armidi newness in the coming months…. do I smell a Winter collection?

Also, Friday announced recently that they will be focusing on releasing more clothing and accessories and less hair and we now know why! Rumor has it that Parvarti Monday is Elikapeka Tiramisu (of ETD), so now that Parvati is scaling back hair releases, welcome back Elika (again)!

The ETD sim is gone from the grid but there is a new Elikatira sim. Fans of ETD will be happy to know this! I wonder if we’ll be seeing new textures and more sculpted styles at the new Elikatira sim?

Speaking of hair, Truth has pulled out of Hair Fair. Sadness! This year’s theme is kept a secret, even from the designers so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if it’s worth the wait.

/Edit/ I had originally posted that London and Adian Armidi are alts of previous designers but I am told that they are in fact original Armidi accounts and not connected to any previous designer accounts. So there you have it! :)
