The new Exile hairstyles have built-in hats!!! I’m thrilled about this, cos it’s nearly impossible to find any hairstyles to fit perfectly underneath the hat. This look is inspired by nothing in particular, but it’s an outfit that I would love to have in RL.
What I’m Wearing:
LOGO – Infinity Chloe Hybrid Mesh Avatar
Exile – A Winter’s Tale (Brownie)
Monso – My School Look (Blazer) Size2/S
Maitreya – Moxie Over-Knee Socks (Choco)
Mon Tissu – Heathrow Boots (Chocolate)
The Secret Store – Tiny Satchel (Leather)MudHoney Winter Livingroom
MudHoney blows me away with this newly released Winter Livingroom set. This set is so calming on the eyes, the colors warm and inviting. The Winter Livingroom set includes everything you see in the picture above (all the furniture, accessories & light fixtures).
I’ve always really liked that MudHoney items are sold as 1 softlinked item you can drag from your Inventory -> to your home (or you can unbox the package if you prefer to arrange yourself). I love furniture but I really don’t like having to place them sometimes, especially if they have a lot of accessories that needs to be placed just right.

Love this dead tree branch detail! <3
Scale is important. I like furniture that feels a bit ‘over-sized’ because it works better when you want to rez your own pose cushions. I like the scale of the sofas & chairs, they’re just right for my preference. All MudHoney items are Modifiable though, so you can easily re-size or re-texture anything to your liking.

Exile Hair
Exile – Imogen | Lily
Exile – Dani | Hera
Exile has four new hairstyles! My favorite style is the Lily which includes a gorgeous Lily flower. This hairstyle is perfect for so many looks and especially outdoorsy photos.
I’m trying something I don’t typically wear with hair… hair bases! I thought Hera needed a hair base to minimize the jagged hair line (this is a big reason why I don’t wear updos without bangs). This style would work so well for dark hair cos most hair bases will match pretty well but for light hair it is challenging.

Magic Nook – Les Reveurs Tee (White)
Skream! – You’ve got mail necklace Emotes & Slow Motion Animation
Cajsa asked me to contribute my Emotes & Slow Motion Animation tutorial for the Blogger Carnival at SL9B exhibit, so I’ve decided to update the images, but the instructions are all the same. In the original tutorial from 2008, I used another HUD to create the emotes but this year, I have a new favorite! I have mentioned the AnyPose Expression HUD before, and it works beautifully to create facial expressions and also, can control eyes position and hands!
How to create facial expressions using Emotes & Slow Motion Animation:
- Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+D, to bring up the Advanced client menu
-  Go to Advanced -> Character -> Slow Motion Animations and click to enable it (Slow Motion Animations is a feature that slows down animations on your client only, so others will not see this but it is useful when trying to capture dances, emotes, poses, etc.)*note: Don’t forget to uncheck Slow Motion Animations once you’re done using it, otherwise animations will look too slow on your client.)
- Play with the random expressions on the Emoter and snap away!!
To make the facial expression above, I used a combination of “Open Mouth” and “Tongue” with Slow Motion Animations enabled. There’s two ways to do this — snap a dozen images and pick the one that you like best, or focus on just the eyes and snap an image, then focus on the mouth area — and combine two that you like best in Photoshop (or any graphics program of your choice). For this image, I have decided not to use PS, and waited patiently to get a combination that I liked. I’m also wearing tattoo lashes, so I don’t have to go without lashes or bother with adjusting prim lashes.
Here are tutorials from a few other SL residents on emotes that I really like:
