Exile has just released four gorgeous new hairstyles. To celebrate The Dressing Room’s anniversary, the Darla hairstyle is available for just $40L, for the entire fatpack! There are some amazing deals at TDR Blue right now, so be sure to check it out.
I’m am playing around with my Windlight setting today, I hope you guys can see the items clearly even though it is darker than the WL setting I normally use.
Without alpha | With Alpha | & Re-positioned to fit
A friend of mine asked me how to use the Mon Tissu alpha layer, so I thought I would do a lil picture to show you guys too. Alpha is used to hide all or some parts of the avatar (body) – it is so useful when wearing fully sculpted tops and skirts. As you can see in the picture above, when I wore the pants layer & the sculpted skirt attachment, my avatar’s his are showing through the sculpted skirt. I could stretch the skirt to fit, but this dress came with an alpha layer so I wore it (middle picture) but as you can see, parts of the torso and waist appears missing now. My friend wanted to know how she could fix this issue, and I showed her what I normally do in this situation, instead of stretching the skirt to be bigger, I just re-positioned the skirt a bit higher and it solved the issue and is also a perfect fit. This is how I do it, but you just do whatever is easiest for you. Some people like to stretch, but I hate stretching clothing that has multiple attachments.
Mon Tissu clothing is known to be on the smaller side, so many things have alpha layers included – be sure to use those layers, they’re a tremendous help when you want to fit items easily.

I came across this ReShade (MagicBorder) tutorial on X (Twitter) created by a resident named Kody Black and felt compelled to try it. If you are a fan of engaging photo effects without resorting to third-party editing software like Photoshop, ReShade is the perfect add-on. I previously wrote about ReShade; while the installation and usage can be somewhat challenging, once you master it, the results are remarkable.
One drawback of ReShade is that it does not allow for high-resolution photos, but you can take display-sized screenshots. Using the Second Life snapshot tool does not capture any of the ReShade effects. Therefore, I believe ReShade is better suited for videos, as it enables you to create eye-catching borders like this and replicate a widescreen video format, along with stunning blurs and lighting effects that are not achievable with the Second Life viewer. I have yet to explore the full range of effects that ReShade offers, but I have been diligently working to learn it for several months.
I encourage you to give ReShade a try if you are looking to do something different with your Second Life photos.
I’ve been swamped with remodeling a quarter of Juicy, so now the entire sim is commercial. It’s mostly filled, but we’re still adding shops daily as time and space permits. Some shops that have recently moved in: Babylon Designs, Republik, Embellished, SpeXx, Fetch Alternative, Milk Motion, and House of Heart! Be sure to visit for some great shopping! <3

Even though I have tons of jeans, I rarely ever pass up a good pair! The latest release from Dutch Touch is a total must-have addition to my wardrobe. I tend to reach for Armidi or Last Call jeans most of the time but they don't have anything ripped! Dutch Touch jeans are so sexy and perfect for the newly released Gwen hair from Exile.
And if your avatar is feeling cold, throw on the latest release from AOHARU! This adorable Down Jacket includes sculpted attachments and the best little fur-trimmed hoodie ever.
