Buying a new dress in RL is something that can be so exciting, depending on what the dress is for. Whether a first date, a night out, or a special occasion. When you find the right one it is even more exhilarating, you cannot wait to wear it, cannot wait to be complimented on it and in it.
I had an exciting evening last night, it was the launch of the New One Bad Pixel store, and what a night, and what an incredible MESH collection. The whole night was surrounded by intrigue, “Who are the Designers?” behind One Bad Pixel…have you guessed yet, have you sent in your note-card with your guess so that you can win the contest? I will give you a hint, and hopefully not get in trouble for doing so but here goes – LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. So make sure you go and grab the info note-card when you are in the store buying all the goodies. Also when there you will want to join the subscriber as there are a gorgeous pair of cigarette pants in copper as a gift. Also if you have the group room you will want to join and get an extra dose of store credit on your purchases if you are wearing the group tag.
NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
A reminder to all, about the wonderful events still taking place over the grid. Pose Fair is still going strong, and Wear Gray is on only for a few more days, so make sure you check them both out. Todays poses are actually from Pose Fair, as a returning store released there for the event, and it is good to see them back.
Wow what a day, it is 3pm for me, and I feel like I got nothing done. A few pictures at least but then I had issues with software and stuff, so lots of fun with that, not. I did get to as I said take a few pictures at least, and I really love how they turned out. I hope you do too.
Today I went to a sim called Sleepy Bones, it is a sim built by the talented Turnip Sorbet, the builder of Lula and other fabulous builds around Second Life. The sim is not going to remain open at this time, but you really should go by and have a look before it closes tonight. The residential feel is just so perfect, and to end it all they are having a garage sale, and if Whimsy and I left anything 
you should grab up the bargains.
This cinched shortish length blazer made me think of vintage finds, such as ones you find at opportunity stores and/or garage sales and market stalls. I love that it is just shy of being too small looking, that the colours are lovely, but it is the style and overall look that I love.
Gorgeous Yongho of Juicybomb – or Gogo as many call her – contacted me this afternoon to let me know about a very important event taking place. This event is not in Second Life, but is very important to a Second Life Resident, a member of not only our Second Life Community but also the Blogging Community. This is her blog here, and this is the event here.
Now calling it an event may seem a bit odd, but winning this prize of a van that will get her around and make a change to her whole life, seems to me an event and worthy of the title. Renee suffers from Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, and while she seems to manage with an upbeat and incredibly caring attitude to life and her friends, this is a disease that doesn’t just hinder but it hurts, a lot. Renee talks about it somewhat in the article that accompanies the contest info, so please take the few minutes it will take out of your day, and vote, as many times as you can. This is one thing that every Second Life resident can get behind, and it will not cost you anything but a few moments and may just change the life of someone deserving of it.
Let as many people as you know, know how they can vote for Renee also.
So I was moving pieces around getting ready to set up for a picture, and Whimsy came online, she looked so in keeping with the mood that I asked her to sit and be in my picture.
Don’t forget Pose Fair will start tomorrow, and is full of incredible new pose/animation store releases, so be sure to get up early tomorrow and pack a lunch, you will need it.
Pose Fair 2012 is starting on the 15th of April. I got a sneak peak today and took some pics of the booths that were set up already. The build is very minimalist, and you should rez the whole lot very fast. There are two sims, one is more geared towards adult themed poses, but not all are, so make sure you visit both…but a word of warning there are some explicit images, so if you are PG only, then you will need to be aware of that.
You know those days when you log in and then hours later you realise you haven’t moved on step, because your IMs didn’t stop since you arrived. Today was another one of those days, and while I absolutely love the interaction, sometimes I wonder where the day went, and why it went so fast.
I really do love IM’s though, almost as much as I love in person avatar to avatar conversations. Nothing is more fun than being out and about and running into people you know, or know of, and partaking in a chatter that can end up incredibly fun and informative. Whimsy and I run around all over the place, and for a while there, we would run into all sorts of wonderful people and just congregate in a chatting circle. So if you ever see us around in world, please don’t ever hesitate to say hi.
Today I was playing around with shadows, did a fun shot earlier in the day that I left on flickr only, just because I was wearing everything you have already seen in the last two days posts, but if you want to go look here is the link. All of my pics go to my flickr, all you have to do is click them, and it also leads you to bigger versions of the same pics, so that I don’t use up all the bandwidth on the feeds. Later this afternoon I jumped on my stand and did some studio shadow shots though, much easier to deal with, you should have followed Whimsy around earlier like I did, every time she would set up a shot someone would walk right in front of her, thank goodness for de-rendering – if an avatar is in your way, or there are just too many people around, just right click on them and then choose the derender option. Not too sure if it is on all viewers or not, but it is definitely on the Firestorm viewer and a great bonus.
Anyway back to me and my shadows – la di da sings – I used a curtain texture as a backdrop and have to say, it really ended up like those Glamour Shots people used to pay to get done at studios in RL. Now not too sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but seeing as the items I am wearing are fabulous, I am going with GREAT THING.
