Hello from Cape Florida Lighthouse and Park! This sim is inspired by a real place in Florida, USA. I love beaches, islands, lush vegetation, and this sim has it all! My outfit today is a mix of two items from Teefy – the Marissa Top (@Collabor88 June) and Mika Skirt (@Uber May).
I’m wearing the new Drive Fast hairstyle from Exile. Exile just introduced Style HUDs to the newer hairstyles, and I couldn’t be happier! I’m so glad that this is a thing now with hair designers. With mesh clothing, I have found it necessary to be able to flip my hair so it doesn’t intersect with clothing.
What I’m Wearing:
Teefy – Marissa Top (Dusk), Mika Skirt (White)
Exile – Drive Fast
Ingenue – Gilda Heels
Coffee & Doughnuts…this is what popped into my head when Elle found her way into this Tea house located at The Village & BarDeco. Even though I haven’t had a doughnut in years, the idea of taking a bite of scrumptious glazed doughnut – gently fried to perfection and lightly coated with the sugary glaze – kept filling my head while I took this photo.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I ate a doughnut! You see, I have been blessed *cough* with Celiac’s Disease and therefore I not supposed to eat any gluten whatsoever! Well…I cheat…but I am selective with my cheating (LOL): Pie and cupcakes are my Gluten Achilles heal and, well….Bagels. You can get a marvelous gluten-free cupcake – but bagels?? Forget about it!
Any who, that’s all I got for now. Yeah short and sweet for me but it’s Saturday and I need to do laundry in Real Life. Damn this thing called RL….it keeps me from doing all sorts of fun things! So until next time – take care my friends and have a great Second Life!
I think that lots of girls will be happy with this release, especially if you’re already a fan of the cute young faces from Pink Fuel. I know I am, but I have always favored the ‘youngish’ look in SL rather than the mature glam look. I’m not glam… I don’t really even like to wear shoes most of the time when I’m floating around in-world from sim to sim.
Are you looking forward to the final version of this skin as much as I am?
I hope the final is something like this, because I think it’s perfect already.
I’ve been a busy girl this week with remodeling Juicy, so it’s time for a break with a smexxy new bikini! <333
The bikini is called Sweety Tahiti by BOOM and comes with a sexy sheer dress. I like that there’s options to wear it the sheer dress, or go without. Beware of nips showing, but hey it’s Summer… a lil is OK right? 😛 I also like that this bikini is transferable, always a great option when you’re shopping for yourself and your friends.
A bunch of new hairs at HCT!! I’m wearing the HCT – Lena above and it’s gorgeous (except for the braid.. not really into braids that much) but I loooove the sculpted bangs that loosely frames the face.
When it comes to music events in VRChat, its hardcore partygoers are happy as long as there’s good music and positive vibes. With only a few optimization hiccups, Slyfest provided such a space this weekend, with a 3-day roster and slick social presence to boot.
Slyfest is a virtual festival aimed at bringing IRL and virtual djs together. It isn’t the first venue to do this, but the ease of real djs announcing they were playing at an event in VRChat was impressive. Loner Online, a well-established dance scene with its own heavy social media presence, is one of the only other venues which does this regularly. The club paired itself with Slyfest for the event, so it’s no wonder this was observed again. Real-life djs also sometimes announce spinning at other weekly virtual clubs, but the crossover isn’t that frequent.
Slyfest’s map design felt top-notch:
Usually in a virtual club like this, you would peer out the window and find a background shader put up to cover the vista, with the exception of places like DDVR and Loner.
Slyfest’s vista is a gently rolling sea with jellyfish floating slowly towards the surface. It’s beautiful.
There was the expectation that the main floor would be different from TheSlyThief’s tribute map to Porter Robinson’s Secret Sky Festival. The same round dance floor was found again in Slyfest, with two whales from the previous map swimming around at the top. None of this was a paid experience, so there’s not a lot of room here to complain. I probably would’ve kept the same tech but changed the shape of the floor, though, to make it a bit different.
The normals on the map were beautiful, and everything was optimized pretty well when the festival wasn’t at capacity (to provide ease with lower end computers, I would have a button to disable video on surfaces except for the main video screen next time). No one can complain at how luxurious the map’s textures were. This is still top of the line work.
Both Slyfest and Virtual Bass should be showcased as the kind of quality VRChat is capable of with digital events, along with Ghost Club.
The real star of the show with Slyfest was the energy. When there were technical issues, people stayed in the Twitch chat and played word games or provided encouragement while the staff figured out the problem. Every festival day was completed with a group photo and shared around with thank-yous. Pregaming, as with other EDM festivals in the game, became its own event. I even wound up at a small apartment with a group of streamers to pass the time until the day 1 festivities kicked off. These events aren’t built-in to virtual festivals, but the way they organically happen are special.
Slyfest is still going with day 3 events. If you don’t want to log into VRChat to attend, you can click here to listen in and watch the festivities.
