Xeniversity is having a grand opening tomorrow and you're all invited! I had the pleasure of checking out the sim today and it is so different from other furniture/prefab shops. The 'build' consists of a platform made up of cubes with platforms on different levels for you to shop in an open, unconfined space. There's already furniture and a prefab there, with promises of more to come soon.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Canal St. Loft prefab skybox up-close and I am so impressed with the textures and built-in features. Here is the official graphic with some pictures and all the specs listed:
Here are some pictures I snapped in-world, totally un-retouched so you can see that the skybox will look exactly like it does in the vendor ad. All the shadows are baked onto he textures so it really does look like this once you rez it!
Outside view (texture-changeable)
Walls (texture-changeable)
Incredible ceiling & Door (it's scripted to open & close)
For a box that is 22x22x12meters, it sure looks big! Here's a picture of me inside the loft skybox. There's plenty of room inside for furniture, or a studio or whatever you want to use it for. The open space is very versatile.
Well, you know I can't do a blog post without a picture of me somewhere… 😀 I think this skybox is great for photographs.
Here's a little tip for you guys reading this, if you can't wait to see the Canal St. Loft up-close; it is set for sale right now, even though the sim has not officially opened yet! Tp to Xeniversity.
Here's a copy of the invitation notecard with relevant date/time information for everyone interested in attending the grand opening party tomorrow:

I personally love blondes so that got my vote, but I also love the pale brunette colours. I think the lighter colours suit you more.
That Truth – Auralee hair looks really good on you – but I usually prefer either the blonde (best) or the unnatural colours (like pink especially) over the brunettes.
I like the blondes on you too, but you seem to be able to make most colours work for you 🙂
In fact all hairs are best on you! =)
I think, in this post, the blonde doesn’t look as good as it use to. Probably because there’s the dark colour there too 🙂 The blonde looks very.. pale? A bit lame. Though this dark brown is probably too dark for your skin colour.
I think a lighter shade looks better on you and you totally rock the unnatural colours with your skins… I really wish my av did too! 🙁
I lived in truth Cocoa for ages, and it looks great on you.
My avatar used to be blonde but with the colour of my skin changing (darker) so did my hair color to brown.
Darker hair needs a bit more skin colour. Personaly I don’t think you should wear a pale skin on a dark hair colour.
I think you should keep the blonde look, not only because it looks good on you but also because its easyer to see the quality of the hair. It’s easy to hide flaws with dark colours. Blonde shows more detail in a picture.
A great mixture of colours seems to work best for your outfits.
Depending on whatever outfit you are wearing i’d say.
Your brunette colours worked great with the dress from Torn in my opinion, but would have gone terribly wrong if you had used blonde hair.
Keep up the mixture!
You look great in light blondes and the cocoa brown. You definitely rock the ‘my little pony’ pinks and greens etc, extremely well.
I’d like to see you in a darker brown or even (brace yourself!) a soft black sometime.
I think pale skin and dark hair can look incredibly lovely. If you can wear platinum you can wear black. It’s a rule that I just made up, but I think it holds true.
You can get away with any colour so don’t limit yourself.
(I wish you had an ‘all of the above’ option for voters! 🙂
I still think brown looks better on you, but I think this shade of brown is too dark. Why not go for a darker blonde or lighter brown?
Or just keep switching colors, sometimes blonde looks better with an outfit and the other time brunette does.
Btw, I really like the Exile hairs, but they all make my face look even more puffy when Truth hair always gives me a nice cheek. I was wondering if more people have certain hairbrands that don’t look that good on their shape?
I have never seen you wearing Strawberry Blondes in ages. And also, I miss bubblegum weekends!
