    Get WoE

    WoE

    Hi SL! You may have heard about a “big launch” on Exodi today, for two brands – Exodi and Woe.

    I’m conflicted about featuring WoE items, since I’m actually unwelcomed at this event (see: Banned from Exodi) but I’ll make an exception for Dick. 😛

    I’m wearing the Old Flowered Ribbed Tank (in Yellow and Red) and also the Graecyn Short jean Shorts (in Bronze). I gotta say, the Graecyn shorts looks great on my ass, I might wear it often! If you like the dirrrty girl look, with colorful paint splatters and extra worn denim visit Woe!

    WoE

    I’ve been telling my friends that I want to feature less skins and not be known as the “skin blogger” but more like, the everything juicy fashion blogger. I’ve always been a big fan of LeLutka skins but also an equally big fan of the hairstyles, which they don’t release often enough! The two new soon-to-be released hairstyles are called Amanda and Amanda 2, it should be available at LeLutka this weekend *crosses fingers*!

    Deliciously Katat0nik

    katat0nik

    This is why I love Katat0nik’s stuff so much, she always has cute new releases and they’re colorful and girlie. I would much rather wear stuff like this than something more formal. Before I discovered Katat0nik, I was a big fan of lolita dresses but there wasn’t much variety. I don’t think lolita fashion is that big in SL anymore but it’s still one of my favorite ways to dress up.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Katat0nik – MOOberry
    Katat0nik – Musik
    Katat0nik – (dk Pink) Dottie Dress
    Katat0nik – (dk pink) Panda Boombox
    Katat0nik – Gatcha Sweetheart Boots (White)
    ANEXX – VaudevillianShoes (Black)

    SL 2.1 Multiple layers

    hi

    A lot of people left comments to ask about the new SL multiple layers option, and yes, I think you can wear up to 5 of any layer. I tried to test this but when I wore too many layers the outfit just looked strange, so here’s me wearing just a few multiple layers 🙂

    I am wearing 2 jackets, 2 under shirts, and 3 tattoo layers!

    what i'm wearing

    I probably won’t start wearing more clothes, but I will mix-and-match tons of different tattoo makeup options! I can’t waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Skin designers! Please make some!!

    Joke’s on you

    /UPDATE:

    Miss Anon sent me a string of emails asking (demanding) that I remove her IP from my website, and has contacted my host to try and get them to remove it. I went ahead and called my hosting company to confirm with them that this is not a violation of TOS and it’s perfectly legal for me to do so. http://mediatemple.net/company/legal/aup_general.php

    Here are some emails Miss Anon sent me:

    I am removing your IP because I feel sorry for you, you’re obviously unstable judging from your emails. If you ever attempt to contact me again via email, IM, or by leaving anonymous harassing comments on this site, I will publish your main SL name and screenshots of all your comments. I have remained quiet for several months while you attempt to harass me on my site, and I hope it ends now.

    Have a good SL, Miss Anon.

    End of UPDATE/

    There’s an anonymous comment troll that leaves a comment on my site every single day. Sometimes several times a day, and they never leave their name.

    Author : youre a joke (IP: [removed] , [removed].optonline.net

    Whoever you are, you visit my site daily. The joke is on you, thank you for the hits.

    Here’s a clue, stop leaving comments under anonymous fake names. My site emails all comments to my gmail, along with IP info, so I have a a record of every single comment that has ever been made on all of my sites.

    If you have a legitimate complaint, leave your full SL name along with a coherent comment and I will look into it, otherwise, peace out. I don’t want to ban you from commenting, but I’m kind of tired of seeing your IP address and nonsense hit my inbox every day.

    Yeah, you come off as a stalker.

    Launch with a !Bang

    !BANG

    !Bang – Glitz 3 pose

    Trieste Minuet and her partner, Izaak Minuet sent me a small package of review poses to introduce me to their new !Bang pose shop. It’s not a secret that I get review copies often, but when it’s from a brand I haven’t heard of before, I tend to look at the creator’s profile to see their website and policies and all that.

    Now I have to say, if these are alts, they make no secret of hiding it. Both Trieste and Izaak are one moth old. Unless the learning curve in SL has flattened, that’s an incredible rate for anybody to make poses, open a shop with a catchy brand name, get cute avatars, find established bloggers and learn savvy marketing methods. Yes, I think they’re savvy.

    !BANG

    !Bang – Glitz 2 pose

    Whose alts are they? I want to ask… cos I think I know who it is, but I don’t really know if I should. I’ve seen many businesses run by alts in SL, for many different reasons. Sometimes the main avatar needs a break, or they want  to branch out, or they want a nice tidy inventory to work with. Whatever the reason, well done, you’re definitely launching with a !Bang.

    A friend of mine said, they must want to be “on my radar” so to speak, cos they did find me to send review copies. Anybody that knows me, knows I am curious and I ask questions! Cos guess what? I was a newb for a long time in SL and it makes me feel stupid that one month old avatars can run savvy businesses.

    My guess is, these avatars may be new but they are owned by very experienced and savvy SL’ers. 🙂

    * This is just a guess! If I am wrong, my apologies in advance.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Carly (Champagne)
    LeLutka – Lola (Light) Makeup3 (L Brows)
    LeLutka – Lola (Lipstick) Nature Matte
    Hucci – Hucci Sizzle (White)
    LaGyo – Braids headpiece (Mauve)
    Friday – Dream Booties (Jade)

    Two Questions for Bloggers

    Cajsa asked two very interesting questions to Bloggers on her plurk timeline, so I thought I would re-post it here and also write my responses.

    Bloggers! Two Questions!

    1) How long did you blog before you received your first review copy from a designer that was not a close friend?

    My first blog was kind of a mess. I was not aware of the fashionplanet feed yet, so I didn’t read anybody’s blog. I just made one to document my shopping and stuff I did with my friends. I never wrote a single review or did proper credits. Then one day, a friend showed me the fashionplanet feed and I saw so many fashion bloggers, some of them had great pics, some of them didn’t. I thought I could do it better, so I took my blog more “seriously” and moved it from Vox (lol, right?) to WordPress.

    Oh, and nobody ever sent me any review copies just because they liked my blog. I didn’t have any designer friends either, I just fangirl’d them from afar, LOL!!!

    2) How long did you blog before you first requested a review copy of an item from a designer? (not a friend)

    After I blogged for a few months, I asked Raven Pennyfeather (and Harper Beresford) for review copies of gorgeous House of Rfyre gowns. So yay! Thanks girls for not turning me away and dashing my fashionista dreams 😛

    I really didn’t ask for many review copies until I felt confident that my blog had traffic and and decent pictures. There were lots of already established bloggers then, and of course, Linden Lifestyles and the Second Style blog/mag. I felt like I wasn’t anywhere near their level of traffic so I didn’t feel “deserving” of review copies.

    I think that my experience as a fashion blogger differs from some of the new fashion bloggers now. I barely ever saw “review copies” mentioned back then, but now almost every designer has a policy listed somewhere in their profile or website, which encourages more bloggers to ask for them.

    How I feel about the state of SL fashion blogging now is.. eh.. I’ll tell you guys another time 😛
