    Three Different Designers

    DEJAVU hair by you.

    [ Dazzle – Innocence (Discontinued) | Awesome Designs – Miranda | PixelDolls – Vivid (Sunrise) ]

    It drives me nuts when people blog discontinued items, mainly because *I* can’t get them myself 😛 For the past two years that I have been shopping in SL, I’ve seen a lot of designers close their store or discontinue items so it’s inevitable that I’m guilty of the same thing. Thankfully, for every outfit that has been discontinued, there are several more similar ones that are available to take its place!

    The Dazzle outfit has been discontinued, but I found two more outfits with the same type of skirt and look that could easily be substituted to achieve the same look.

    Awesome Designs has recently released the Miranda outfit, which includes a long dress top with lacy prim cuffs, a tube top overlay in several colors per pack, and a white lace skirt with a matching color sash (for the tube top). I was totally thrilled when I saw this released because now I can recommend something to people that are searching for an outfit that looks like the Dazzle Innocence, and.. the Miranda outfit is affordable and comes with a ton of colors!

    Another one that’s similar but different because the lace on the skirt is black, is the PixelDolls Sunrise outfit. I love PixelDolls because Nephilaine Protagonist is a generous designer and produces tons of stuff at an affordable price. This outfit was $150L, and I chose this color because I don’t have too many orange outfits in my inventory, but there are tons of other colors as well.

    For every outfit that has been discontinued, somewhere on the grid exists another similar outfit! So go hunt down whatever item you’re looking for 😛

    The West

    West

    I love the new Eala Dress from Schadenfreude. I knew I wanted to make a Western inspired outfit, so I could wear it with the My Western Boots and My Western Hat from Monso. This Western inspired outfit also gave me a chance to play with the HIShorse pose prop from HISpose. This mesh horse is scripted with 6 poses (sitting & standing) and is texture/color changeable.

    Monso

    Aren’t these boots amazing? They’re mesh, and includes a HUD to change texture on all the components.

    Monso

    What I’m Wearing:

    Elikatira – Wave (Blonde 05)
    Schadenfreude – Eala Dress S (Bisque)
    Monso – My Western Boots @ Vintage Fair
    Monso – My Western Hat (Beige) @ Vintage Fair
    &
    HISPose – HIShorse

    Avatar Physics!

     

    The latest Second Life Development Viewer has avatar physics enabled!! Hamlet blogged about it on NWN, and there’s even a video tutorial if you guys want to check it out.

    I had so much fun playing with the new avatar physics, I even made a lil’ video and threw it on YouTube. I haven’t done that in almost two years, so my video didn’t turn out quite as nice as I had hoped, but I hope you guys can see clearly how natural and amazing and FUN this will be for SL residents. Even if you don’t want extreme bounce, this new physics layer have sliders for you to control as much or as little bounce as you want.

    If you want a copy of my physics layer, it is available for FREE on Marketplace or at my shop in SL.

    You can follow the tutorial on NWN to create your own physics layer, or grab a copy of mine and just wear. Be sure to use the latest SL Dev Viewer, or a compatible Third Party Viewer (TPV).

    Second Life’s Knowledge Base also has a step-by-step tutorial on Enhanced Avatar Physics that includes pictures!

    UPDATE April 14th, 2011: If you purchased my Juicy Physics package before 9PMSLT today, there is an error in the Breasts Bounce: Max Effect setting. It should *not* be set to 0! For a lil bounce, set it to 25 and for max bounce, set it to 65 or higher.

    I just replaced it with an updated package on Marketplace.

    Also, Second Life has added Avatar Physics to the latest Second Life Beta Viewer (Second Life 2.6.3 (225685)) too! It is no longer limited to just the Development viewer.

    note: For some reason, SL has been resetting the Breast Bounce > Max Effect setting! For a lil bounce, set it to 25 and for max bounce, set it to 65 or higher.

    A New Face for Summer

    A New Face for Summer

    I’ve been wearing the Lumi skin from Glam Affair since it was released back in March. In real life time, that’s not very long at all. In Second Life time, though, it feels like ages ago. But does time even matter when you like a skin? You could probably wear the same skin for years and never feel dated, especially with the current state of Second Life. Until LeLutka releases the new PURE mesh heads, most of us are still wearing EvoX heads, and skin designers continue to create beautiful 2048 skins with the same level of skill and quality. There is really no rush to change your look unless you want to.

    A New Face for Summer
    Glam Affair – Alix skin | w/ Tattoo Layers added to soften the pores/freckles

    That said, in Gogo time, four months feels like a long time. I spend an embarrassing amount of time staring at my own face, after all. So today, even though it seems like Glam Affair releases dozens of skins every month, I finally found a new face. The new Alix skin from Glam Affair is available at Equal10. I like most Glam Affair skins, but if I’m going to call something my face, it has to feel instantly familiar. It’s that little moment of, “Ah, there you are,” when I put it on. That’s exactly how I felt with Alix, even though I already knew I would be reaching for Izzie’s to remove the freckles and pores. As you can see, I did just that, and I love the result. The original version is beautiful too, and honestly, a lot of skins in Second Life are released looking more like my edited version. People then use Izzie’s or other tattoo layers to add freckles, pores, highlights, and other details back in. I sometimes go in the opposite direction and remove those details instead. The fact that we can customize skins so easily now is one of my favorite things about Second Life.

    ISON recently had a 40% off sale, so I picked up something I do not normally wear, a leather outfit. Paired with the new Truth Verse hairstyle, the whole look reminds me of an anime baddie, and I am kind of obsessed with it. Maybe I need to stop wearing pastel pink and white all the time and lean into dark leather. Then again, let’s not get carried away.

    Wooden Leaf Chair

    Wooden Leaf Chair

    Warning: don’t read this post if you don’t like really grumpy Gogo!

    When Rayvn sent me her new Leaf Chairs, a collaboration between her own brand, MudHoney, and Exposeur by RubyStarlight Writer, I cringed. I like Rayvn a lot, and I like the chairs a lot, but I did NOT want to mention Exposeur on my blog. I don’t want anything to do with this brand, and have done my best to ignore it for the past few years. I think that RubyStarlight Writer is one of the rudest designers in SL. Do I have reasons to say this? YES.

    I’ve never really been big on blogging poses, although occasionally I do like to feature pose props. I actually didn’t pay too much attention to Ruby, I did one event of hers in the past (as cheLLe), but I never knew that she felt so strongly about me. She said I am the most ungrateful blogger in SL. Give me examples! How is a blogger grateful, or ungrateful? I have great interactions with most designers and readers, and I don’t owe anyone anything.

    If someone says negative things about me unprovoked, I will boycott them forever, unless they manage to collaborate with someone I do like, in which case, it is harder to ignore. I am the most grumpy blogger in SL today, but I will blog MY way. I could blog this and say nothing, but she’ll still make money off this post if you guys do like this chair, BUY IT!

    Anyway.. back to the chair. A proper review, I suppose! The chair is available in gorgeous fall colors, and includes 8 sits (although the sits are kind of awkward)! I decided to hold the Mochi Bunny from Ohmai to make the poses cuter/less awkward.

    Wooden Leaf Chair

    Do you want me to blog how I usually feel, or CENSOR myself?

    What I’m Wearing:

    Pink Fuel Skin
    Exile – Breeze (BabyDoll)
    The Secret Store – Scallop Sweater (Milk) S
    Monso – My First Jeans (Lime) Size2/S
    Ohmai – Mochi Bunny (Pet Ver – Hold)
    Ingenue – Pickford Heels (Jadite)

    Hawaiian Girl

    Hawaiian

    Aranel Ah of BOOM created this fully sculpted Hibiscus Halter top, which fits me like a glove cos I made her fit it to my shape. If you’re wearing the “Medium” version of this top, that’s my size! The top also comes with x-Small, Small, Large, and X-Large too, which is sure to cover a wide range of shapes & sizes. I don’t really like modding sculpted tops myself, so I am glad this top has several sizes to choose from.

    I’m pairing this Hibiscus Halter top with the Volume Skirt from couverture. I love this skirt, even though it is much longer than what I would normally wear, it reminds me of a Hawaiian grass skirt, so it’s perfect for this look.

    Pixel Mode

    Pixel Mode has a new pair of Fae Wedge Shoes out at Shoe Fair. I love the textures and wedge style, this is just perfect for Summer.

    The PM HUD is so challenging, even for me, who is probably better at tinting my feet than most people simply cos I own a range of sculpted shoes and have to use HUDs from different brands. This HUD didn’t let me use the RGB color picker to click around until I got the perfect match, so I had to use the sliders and that took 30 minutes instead 2 minutes if the HUD worked properly. If you have these shoes, you’ll know what I’m talking about. And if you can match your skin in less than 2 minutes with this HUD, props to you 🙂

    What I’m Wearing:

    Laqroki – Linnea (Peach) Dark Brows – 01
    Aitui Tattoo – Vintage Hawaii (Faded)
    Maitreya – Lara II (Chestnut)
    artilleri – Hibi hair flower (Blue)
    BOOM – Hibiscus Halter (Hot Pink)
    Couverture – Volume Skirt (White)
    Pixel Mode – Fae Wedge [B] (White)
