I chatted with Elle Couerblanc a few days ago, and I asked her what her goals were for her blog. She said, at least 300 views per post. That’s an achievable goal, so you guys should send her some blog love! And also add her blog to your reader, she’s a fabulous blogger and one of my favorites. She also did my Twilight Inspired Look blog challenge!
Twilight fans, where are you?? Redgrave recently released the Bella Vampire Skin, Bella Vampire Eyes, and I’m positive they have Edward at the in-world shop too.
Have you ever felt more in touch with yourself when embracing your culture’s garb? I felt pretty awesome today donning a virtual recreation of Mardi Gras Indian Queen headwear (that I made myself) for the Avatars Against Trump challenge. Behind me is a combined veve that represents the voodoo loas of Baron Samedi and Maman-Brigitte.
These two ancient spirit-gods represent love and death. Death, in tarot, doesn’t just mean the literal interpretation of someone’s life ending. It also means change. Anything that dies and isn’t a person but is a thing (a project, a relationship, a sim) will end, but will possibly change into something else.
If you approach the gods and ask for death or change, don’t do it lightly. Ask for justice and let the gods do as they will. Otherwise, you might not get the change you’re looking for.
In this picture, I ask for the Baron not to dig America’s grave. Remember, what is not a person and “dies” will undergo a change… and I very much feel the change the country undergoes will not be good if current events continue.
Where the Baron either admits or denies a soul to proceed to the next world, Maman-Brigitte is a healer and loa of love. I must say that with our country being as torn as it is now, we have a lot of love to employ and healing to do.
LeeZu has just released some beautiful Brit Pants (in Silver), they looked really good in-world and the textures are beautiful. I love the sculpted attachments giving the pants extra feminine details. I have paired these pants with LeeZu's Valerie top in White which is very sheer and sexy, so I wore a BlowPop bra underneath.
You didn't know that the talented Annyka Bekkers is making lingerie now, did you? She'll probably kill me for this buuuut, couldn't resist the sexy BlowPop Yvette sheer lace set, they make everything look nice! Here's just a little peek.. a proper review when they're released 😀
I made some poses to give away for Juicy’s 3rd Birthday event, which ends tomorrow! This is your last chance to grab these for FREE. I wanted to do some three finger poses ,but SL has limitations… so there’s a lot of two and and four finger poses… um, enjoy 🙂 They’re suppose to be cutesy but my friend said these are like gang signs, lol!
Also, I am working on a new website project called COLORS. If you’re a designer, please take a look at the about page and email me your color chart (I will love you forever, really!). I plan on expanding it to include other categories but I can’t think of anything else that is as consistent as hair colors and skin tones. Suggestions are welcomed! 🙂
A little late posting this one, but for the Fourth of July, I remembered the one song that should probably be the theme song for the USA: William Shatner singing “She’s Miss United States” in Miss Congeniality.
I needed something that screamed patriotic pageant, and I remembered I had the Magnolia Gown from Just Because. Since it comes with a fatpack HUD, I was able to put together the perfect red, white, and blue look.
I’m also wearing the new Odyssey hairstyle from Truth. It has that soft, windswept look that’s perfect for outdoor photos.
Hope everyone is having a happy long holiday weekend!
Another round of Anthology has just opened, and the item that immediately caught my eye is the Captain’s Lullaby decor set from James&Dew. This captivating set includes a decorative chandelier crafted from bottles and ship pieces, along with candles nestled in bottles, all evoking a delightful DIY old-world charm. I absolutely adore how these items have been repurposed, making them perfect for a rustic or cottage-themed setting.
As I delved into the description on Flickr, I was intrigued by the mention of a hidden surprise. Curiosity piqued, I meticulously searched and eventually uncovered a hidden treasure! While I don’t want to give away the surprise, I can assure you it’s definitely worth exploring. Who knows? You might find treasures that have washed up on the shore somewhere. I’m thrilled about this treasure hunt feature, as I have a soft spot for nautical-themed items.
I must say, it’s quite bold of James&Dew to release this set with PBR textures only, sans fallback. This decision highlights their forward-thinking approach. As Second Life progresses, we’re moving beyond older texturing methods. For those unable to view PBR textures, the fallback is a blank white texture, but it’s high time designers focus on the future. Continually supporting outdated texturing methods is a tall order, and it’s refreshing to see creators embracing advancement.
To showcase the stunning PBR textures of the Captain’s Lullaby set, I created a short video. I rezzed a reflection probe in the entire room, although it’s not necessary to enjoy the beauty of PBR items. The probe merely enhanced the reflections, making them more focused. In fact, foregoing the additional reflection probe might even reduce lag, as regions already have auto probes, albeit less concentrated.
So, embark on this nautical adventure with the Captain’s Lullaby set, and who knows what hidden gems you might discover along the way!
I get a lot of requests for my shape or a "versatile shape" that works with most skins! I can't really explain what I do to make my shape work but I do tweak it for every skin to present the skin in the best way possible.
Not everyone likes how I look but if you do, I've introduced twin shapes! Gigi and Mimi are like Gogo's little sisters! If you've ever wanted to look like me, here you go 😀
Gigi is fitted for Lelutka's (formerly Minnu) London skin, and MiMi is fitted for BeBae. While they are nearly identical, there are slight differences in the face to make it 'work' for that particular skin brand.
Both shapes are on sale at my shop now, just pick the skin you intend to use it for!
All Juicy Shapes are mod/copy and includes a 'skirt shape' version, eyebrows, and a styling card. Be sexy!
I don’t know if she was actually doing your challenge but, Visio SL, did a Bella Vampire look with the new Redgrave Vampire skin- that even comes with a glittery in the sun version too. I thought it was pretty! http://viciosl.blogspot.com/2012/11/redgrave-bella-vampire-new.html
Hiyas! Me and my husband are thinking about do an Edward-Bella post one of those days. The redgrave skins are really impressive and I love it! I’m not really fan of the movie but I love redgrave skins. >< Thank you Kristen for the good comments about my post!<3
