    Ruffles

    Ruffles

    Remember Remarkable Oblivion? Yesterday I visited their Marketplace store again, and found this adorable Usagi Briar Bow (Special Edition). It includes a Bow&Headband version, or a separate Bow, to be worn with any hairstyle. I’m really into adorable head bands/bows accessories lately!!

    Ruffles

    Tee*fy and LaViere both released some adorable new things for April’s round of Collabor88. The  Rachel Ruffle Sweater includes a long and short version, and comes in gorgeous colors with some floral prints! The Lovisa Ruffle Skirt fits with the sweater perfectly, and there are lots of colors to choose from too. I’m very fond of LaViere hair lately, the hairstyles are getting better and better! This new Gisele hairstyle comes includes a regular version with bangs neatly tucked behind the ear and a “Loose Bangs” version.

    Ruffles

    A few nights ago, I went to Pose Fair 2013! I’ve gone to Pose Fair every year, and have always found some new poses to add to my pose stand. This year, I discovered a new-to-me store called no wow. These poses are affordable, and adorable! I liked what I saw at Pose Fair so much, that I visited the no wow Main Store and bought everyyyyything.

    According to the notecard included with my purchase, no wow is a team of 3 creators:

    Lisbeth Gummibaum (http://miraclebeam.tumblr.com)
    Plum Mongrain (http://plum-tree.tumblr.com)
    Bernie Decosta (http://berniedecosta.tumblr.com)

    All poses used in this post are from no wow.

    I’m at the gorgeous BCC sim, as seen on Ziki’s blog.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Pink Fuel – Sora (Peach)
    LaViere – Gisele Loose Bangs (Mint)
    Teefy – Lovisa Ruffle Mini Skirt (Sunshine) S
    Teefy – Rachel Ruffle Sweater (GrandMum’s) Long S
    G-Field – Mesh Wedge Pumps “Adele”
    Maubray – Petite Fleur Earring (Silver)
    Remarkable Oblivion – Briar Bow Headband (Usagi)

    DIY Painter

    DIY Painter

    Art imitates RL! I’ve been busy this week stripping wallpaper from a  bathroom in my home, and preparing the walls for a new paint color. It’s a lot of work, but I can’t wait for the result!

    The DIY Painter Props & Poses Set from Pixel Mode shows you a glimpse of what I’ll be doing for the next few days, but probably less cute than Gogo 😀 This pose prop is scripted with a few painting poses, color-changing wall & paint accessories, and includes some extra paint decorations.

    I’ll be back to a more regular blogging schedule after my remodeling!

    What I’m Wearing:

    Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
    Truth – Tenille (Swedish)
    Surf Couture – Hermana Tank (Feather Blue)
    Mon Tissu – Hanalei Shorts (M) Beige
    Pixel Mode – Canvas Painter Shoes (included with the pose prop)

    How to make poses in Second Life

    I’m doing this tutorial to help anyone that wants to learn how to make poses in Second Life. I am using DAZ Studio, but you can use QAvimator, Poser, and a few other programs too. There are tutorials out there for those already, so I’ll just focus on DAZ.

    Download and Install:

    DAZ Studio 4.5 (free)
    Second Life avatar meshes in .obj and .cr2 format

    To make poses for Second Life, you have to use the SL .obj and .cr2 avatar files, not the default DAZ avatar. This is the most important step in the pose-making process for DAZ, but it’s similar in other programs too. In some cases, you can export your own shape to use, but I couldn’t get it to work right in DAZ so we’ll skip that for now.

    1. Importing the Second Life .obj and .cr2 files into DAZ

    JuicyBomb - Pose tutorial

    File -> New (to clear your scene) then,
    File -> Import

    JuicyBomb - Pose tutorial

    Select SL_Female.cr2, then Open it in DAZ

    JuicyBomb - Pose tutorial

    Locate the SL_Female.obj file, then Open it in DAZ

    Poll: Pose making tutorial

    I haven’t made poses in a while, so some of you guys might not know that I use to make pose packs, and give them away. Then I made a few more and sold them under my brand Juicy, and later with Poseur. At times, it does feel like “everyone” is making or selling poses these days, but I think there’s a lot of new players that do not know how.

    So, would you like a pose making tutorial? There are some tutorials for SL floating around, but I can try to explain it a really simple way for anyone who wants to learn!

    Gogo’s top 10 pose brands

     

    Feathered fans are my weakness. I have been playing with the new Feathered pose set from Glitterati, and it’s so pretty! Starting on August 4th, you’ll be able to buy this set at Vintage Fair. Be sure to enter the Vintage Fair Flickr Competition, there are over $115,000L in prizes up for grabs!

    A bunch of people have asked me where I buy my poses, or what pose brands I like, so I made a list of my top 10 pose brands below. A few of my favorite brands that I use often (for blog posts) are already retired, so I didn’t include those in the list. The list below is of brands that have either amazing normal fashion-friendly poses (nice stands, sits) or they have fun pose props that I enjoy using.

    Gogo’s top 10 pose brands:

    POSEUR
    Kuso
    Everglow
    Glitterati
    Sweet Lovely Cute
    Friday
    Nuwiggles
    Tea Soup
    (didn’t realized Tea Soup is closed, but on MP still)
    Chanimations
    Adorkable

    Nuwiggles

    Nuwiggles

    Pose Fair 2012 opens at Noon SLT today! I flew around the Pose Fair North and South sim for a bit yesterday, and it is huge! You’ll probably have to visit several times to see all the new props & poses, and of course, demo them all!

    My PS skill (or lack thereof) prevents me from doing really fancy editing, so when I saw these new pose props from Nuwiggles [click this link for a direct TP to Nuwiggles], I thought they were so clever, and just what I needed to enhance my blog photos. I especially love the Lookbook prop box, with changeable backgrounds and textures.

    Nuwiggles

    Nuwiggles – Paperplanes | Lookbook | Forever Alone

    Be sure to visit Pose Fair 2012 for this and more!

    Aviary

    While uploading my photos to Flickr today, I noticed that they have linked to Aviary, a new photo editing site that replaces Picnik. If you haven’t heard, Picnik is closing on April 19th! I tried to edit an image using the new Aviary features, and it was alright, not as complete as Picnik.

    If you’re looking for some Picnik alternatives, check out:

    I have an Aviary account from ages ago, but I don’t think it is as complete as Picnik was (so sad this is closing!). I’ll probably use Photoshop + PicMonkey and a combination of all these other programs for my blog photos after April 19th.

    Do you know of any other online photo editing alternatives that should be included in this list?

    What I’m Wearing:

    LeLutka – Trend hair (Marilyn)
    Jane – all clothes
    G-Field – Flower Pumps “Eve” (Black, White)

    Animazoo Quadro Dance HUD

    Animazoo

    Dance, dance, dance! The new Quadro Dance HUDs from Animazoo is packed with original dance animations and so many features to make dancing in Second Life fun and easy!

    I have been playing around with both of the HUDs — the Quadro Ladies Dancefloor Edition, and the Quadro Stage Performer Edition. Each HUD is packed with 35 of Animazoo’s bestselling dance animations in various dance styles perfect for hanging out at the club or performing on stage!

    Animazoo

    For the videos below, I recorded more than 40 minutes of footage cos the HUD is packed with so many dances, but I edited them into two short videos. The video probably shows only 10% of the dances that are available in these HUDs, so definitely visit Animazoo and try it out for yourself!

    The HUDs are also available for purchase on Marketplace: Quadro Ladies Dancefloor Edition and Quadro Stage Performer Edition

    The Lite version of the Dance HUD (has basic features only) is also available at the store for free, and you can put your own dance animations into it.

    Do you love to dance? What’s your favorite shop for dance animations? Leave me a comment cos I’m looking for new ones to create new dance sequences for my HUD!
