I’ve done nothing productive today except make this Barbie Makeup on the new SL 2.0 tattoo layer. I’m quite happy with it, even though I drew that eye makeup with my mouse. I totally respect skin makers for the wonderful work they do, cos this isn’t easy at all!
LeeZu released these amazing new Yve Pants that has a sculpted belt, and sculpted leg prims. I think these pants are nearly perfect, the leg prims & pants meets seamlessly, and they end right before the knee joint so it’s perfect for AOs & works with many different poses! I had to lower my hips saddle, and butt size just a tad to have a better fit, cos I wanted the belt to be snug around my avatar.
Although these are not board shorts, I paired it with a cute little bikini top from BOOM and and wore it to the beach! These are so many ways to style these pants, as they come in a variety of prints & solid colors.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Bethany (Swedish)
BOOM – Infinity Pin Stripe Bikini (White)

Elate – Theia Sandals (Ivory)

Bottom Row: Exile – Prelude | Truth – Helia
Exile and Truth released some fabulous hairstyles this week! I really wanted a Game of Thrones inspired hairstyle, and Exile released Prelude which I think looks just like Daenerys’s hair!
I couldn’t decide if I’m going back to Blonde or continue experimenting with Brown hair colors, so I wore both in today’s post! Hope you guys like this “Cocoa” Truth hair color.

Who made a video???????? THIS GIRL.
I absolutely love the Starfish jewelry set from Cae, by Caelan Hancroft, so I pulled out my Nereida Fantasy Mermaid costume from Evie’s Closet for today’s look. I haven’t worn this outfit in a long time, cos I noticed now that some of the prims were full-bright! After I unchecked that, I wanted to do something different for today’s post, so I made a video.
Hope you guys like it!

While the SL client does not have built-in emotions for our avatars to express themselves, there are free Emoters available in-world with over a dozen facial expressions. I rarely ever use it, but I find myself wanting to, every time I see screen captures from The Sims!!
The reason I think that most people don’t use Emoters is because it makes our avatars look more creepy than cute! And if you’re a prim-lash-wearing-addict like myself, the prim lashes stay in place and appears to be floating away from your avatar’s face rather than move along with the eyelids. Currently there’s no way to force prim lashes to move, but for photography you can edit them to fit each emotion and fake a perfect fit. 😛
I’m not a Photoshop genius, so I try to set up the shot as close to what I want as possible in-world.
1. Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+D, to bring up the Advanced client menu
2. 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.)
3. Play with the random expressions on the Emoter and snap away!!
For the photograph above, I used a combination of "Mouth Open" and "Big Smile" to create a totally new facial expression! I haven’t experimented with all the expressions to see what "new" emotions I can create, but Slow Motion Animations is a great feature and lots of fun when combined with an Emoter HUD.
Happy…
Unhappy….
Where to get an Emoter HUD? I use the one that came with my MystiTool, but they’re free everywhere!! Ask someone you know, they might be able to pass you a copy. 😛
For this blog entry, I’ve tried to use lighting that has more shadows because the images are captured with scenery, rather than my usual prim background. Do you prefer photographs that are typical blog-style (see my Lighting Tutorial) or with more depth? I’ve been criticized for taking ‘flat’ photos because I eliminate all shadows when I blog items… so I’m really trying to experiment with other lighting!

With Shadows:
I agree the 2nd photo makes SL look way better, because SL is beautiful!!!! <3 Windlight. But when I’m blogging skins I prefer well-lit images with no shadows.

It’s officially winter in SL! Even though we’re just days away from Christmas, I am not very in the mood this year. I’m hoping that by going to winter sims and making festive winter outfits, it will inspire me to get in the mood! I’ve started collecting some Christmas decor for my home, like this X’mas Magic ornament set from Ohmai. SL creators are so creative, they really make this virtual world the best place ever.
