Happy Memorial Day to all Americans. I woke up to the sweet smell of BBQ wafting through my window, so I've decided to blog today's entry in front my SL BBQ set. Cheesy or cute? 😛
Truth has just released two new hairstyles, the Minx and Minx 2 are similar but have different lengths. I looove Minx, the longer version of the two and so sexy/casual looking.
BBQ and Gingham print goes together like… ice cream and cake. I have decided to wear the fabulous artilleri Beatrix top with some Drawmachine hot pants or as I like to call them, booty shorts!!! <3
What I'm Wearing:
Truth – Minx, and Minx2 (Walnut) Shine – Enchanted Jewelry set artilleri – Beatrix top (Pink) drawmachine – jeans hotpants Detour – Layback Flip Flops (White)
Hey! New Maitreya hair. They are Lotus, Nadja, and Lotte. I didn’t include Lauren cos it was a group gift back in December, but you can go check it out at Maitreya.
I have another Minute Makeover post planned for next time, I’ll post it as soon as I finish cropping the pictures. Ciao!
The Hair Fair 2009 Flickr Contest ends tonight, June 15th at midnight SLT! If you haven't submitted a picture yet, you still have time! Do it cos you love hair and you want fabulous prizes!!
I'm wearing a lot of Dutch Touch today. The outfit & skin is from Dutch Touch and hair is from Truth.
I love when clothes have frills and pretty little details. As soon as I saw the Everly Blouse from Tres Blah, I knew I needed it. I guess I’m leaning into the cottagecore vibe now, but with pants. I’m still not sold on long mesh skirts. Sometimes they make me feel like my butt looks wide. This blouse looks perfect with the Locket Choker from Rebelle, like they were meant to be worn together.
Have you ever seen something in Second Life and thought, “How has no one made this before?” Izzie’s just released Body and Face Veins and I swear I am never taking them off. Face skins in SL keep getting better and better, but body skins still feel flat in comparison. It’s harder to update body skins often so designers usually skip it. Faces are easier to tweak which is why we get a new one every week. But just this little detail of veins layered on top of my skin gives me the realism I have been missing.
If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, check out Anthology, Shop & Hop, SeraPlus gifts and more. I picked up some great finds from all of them and a few were even free.
Elle said to me, “Come to prom bitch” and since I was just standing around on my platform, I decided to join her! I arrived at Pixel Prom without a proper dress, or a date, but had a pretty good time seeing my friends and some new faces too. There were tons of people there, maybe 150+ but I had my draw turned down so I only really rezzed the people in my corner of the sim.
Enjoy these candid pictures! This is the most social I’ve been in SL in ages, so I am documenting it here.
If you’re not on X (Twitter), you really should be. I use a few different platforms to keep up with Second Life news, but lately I’ve been enjoying X more because it gives me a nice mix of real world updates too. The algorithm is surprisingly good at surfacing tech content I care about, like the latest in AI. Today I came across a fun tweet that inspired me to try something new. I turned my Second Life avatar into a figurine.
All you have to do is go to Google Gemini and enter this prompt:
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.
From photo to figurine style in just one prompt.
People are having fun turning their photos into images of custom miniature figures, thanks to nano-banana in Gemini. Try a pic of yourself, a cool nature shot, a family photo, or a shot of your pup.
For my Gemini photo, it took a few tries with Second Life snapshots before the app accepted one. Eventually I uploaded a full body shot and within seconds it generated the cutest figurine photo. I even tweaked the prompt to add some flowers to my desk. To get good results, you’ll want a clear picture of your avatar against a plain background. I was impressed that it captured my clothing and accessories so well and it really does look like Gogo in SL.
Try this and let me know what you think! Don’t you want a doll of your Second Life avatar? I know I do!
The long-awaited SLink Mesh Hands have arrived! These hands are so beautiful, I probably won’t ever take them off. Finally, my avatar can express herself with over a dozen hand gestures, instead of being limited to the few default ones from SL.
The hands are rigged mesh, so you won’t need to resize or adjust them in any way for a perfect fit. Included in the package is a HUD to tint skin tone, a nails HUD, and 15 pairs of hands with different gestures. I like to mix-and-match the hands to fit whatever pose I’m using.
SLers have always complained about ugly hands and feet, and now that we’ve had pretty mesh feet for a while, it’s time to update with mesh hands too! Check ’em out at SLink.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
Truth – Jemima w/Roots (Treacle)
Blowpop – Yvette (Pink)
SLink – Mesh Rigged Hands
