Cold Logic: The arithmetic of the emotions.

Hello My Digital Darlings, welcome to the dog days of summer. That time when the fashion world takes a slight lull before the craziness of Fall fashion season begins. Lets take a moment to talk about.....MESH

Now I will be the first to admit I did not get on the "Mesh is the Future" bandwagon. A year ago when it was all folks were talking about I was a pessimist. When it started trickling in I fought it left and right. When i saw what it did to hair, I relaxed my guard a little. Then.. I had a skirt break on me the first time. And I was ready to delete all the cursed non primitives from my inventory.. And then the Great Lord Linden looked down once again from his  skybox on high and launched me through the grid to land at the doors of ColdLogic and restored my faith in the future of SL. I'm not saying mesh is perfect but this designer does some great things with it. It's not your standard templates retextured, they have some serious original stuff with realistic movement, good sizing as well as a wide range in color palettes. From casual to formal ColdLogic really has this mesh clothing thing nailed. But of course.. I do not, and my shape doesn't always want to conform to the "standard sizing", so this Fiber optic Fashionista is tweaking this that and the other to try and find just the right equation to make any mesh fit my shape, rather annoying when your partner wants to go dancing sometime in the next week. I swear sometimes he just doesn't understand the time I have to put in to looking this good, but then he buys me new shoes and I forgive him :). 

                  

But I digress. Lyra Blackthorn of Body Doubles has once again come to our rescue in the pixel crisis of "Am I a medium or a small, if I'm a small why do my boobs poke out of the alpha, but the medium looks like I'm swimming in a barrel of material"... Le gasp. She has made standard shapes to ease this horrible burden.. Now I know what your saying "But Virtual fashion godmother the standard sizes are out there..somewhere..I think" Pish I say to you, Lyra has done the math for us! No more tweaking and shaping or worrying whether the alpha will cover our naughty bits. Not only that but this crafter of fine shapes includes not just her standard NC with some really awesome styling, but an additional one telling you which parts of the shape you can tweak to make it feel more you, and which parts if you touch them, will totally bork up the whole lot. Lyra once again we doff our prim caps to you (or mesh as the case may be). Bravo Madame, bravo.

So nice I may Blog it Twice!

Hello my digital darlings! I know you all missed me terribly, but you may rejoice now because you Second Life Coach has returned and boy does she have some great things to share with you. In this post first I HAD to share the latest gown from Vero Modero. Oh My God with a a capital Oh Oh Oh I am in love with this gown. It's like the Miss Babii channeled the spirits of Julie Newmar, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Jackie O and said "I want to make a gown you will wear." Then when it was finished she went to Julia Andrews for approval. This gown drips sophistication, yet at the same time gives you the fairytale feel. The long sheath dress it timeless, from Camelot to Cosmo this dress is a sure fire thing. The appliquéd lace stole gives just enough flare and the combination of Flex with mesh, the best of both worlds, is what designers should aim for. VM has set the bar high with this gown that is for sure.

 

I will also confess, I had so much fun with this gown I took over 180 pictures before deciding on these.

{Bilo} because we all are beautiful

Classic features and a skin tone like honeyed cream

Hello my virtual darlings!

Has Victoria have a scoop for you. I was tired of the same old fashions, skins that were too pink or orange, clothing that was bohemian but not quite as ethnic for what I was a looking for for my next series when P.Linden looked down on one of his own and saw her losing faith. As I was lagging through the One Voice event I stutter stepped right into a vendor and I could not help but blink up at it. Here was the face I wanted, the eyes the mouth everything so perfect in detail. Being the clicker that I am I bought it at once then hopped the enclosed landmark to {bilo} owned by Mayaa Thistle & Chandra Masala  And found such a treasure there I had to share it with you all.  I highly recommend you check out their store. There were so many outfits I had a very difficult time choosing just one. The Nasreen skin is out now, but stay tuned to their Group for new releases!

Makes you feel like a princess.

Beauty is the promise of happiness

As I sit here on my private island, I contemplate how in sl we can have anything, be anyone we want. But who wants to walk around looking like elmer fudd with a head that someone had dropped a brick on and a face that's been smushed into a wall. Not this pixel princess, and neither my digital darlings should any of you. Not when you have Moi, your virtual fairy godmother to help you

Victoria's secret

A dash of posh spice

And you're off to "Beckingham" Place

Body Doubles will see you off well past midnight. I stumbled upon the store a few weeks ago, having always worn the same shape cause I thought it looked "good" It wasn't until my recent delving into the modeling world that I realized how much better an Avi could look. So in my search for perfection I was fortunate enough to discover this treasure. ranging from celebrities, models, fantasy inspired shapes, to the perfect shape to emphizes your favourite skin. Lyra Blackthorne is a true artiste when it comes to crafting the literal nuts and bolts to out digital desires. No odd bumps or strange angles to be found on these beauties. And with such a wide range I am sure you will find what you are looking for, and if not Lyra offers customization, but hurry and get in now she is booked solid for the next few months. Included in all your purchases is a modifiable shape (( which is great altering to fit into those system skirt gowns)), a non modifiable shape ( incase you muck it up..and lets face it once in a while we all forget to copy)) And style card to help you look the part. And she is spot on with it. Down to what eyelashes to wear. You'll be buying planks and mansions you'll feel so glamourous.

And I feel the need to show you the side profile.. of her other shape the Talena Which is at the One Voice event as well as in her store.

Just look at it! Perfect form, ((pardon my hair covering part of my ear I wanted to show how awesome her shapes are without any photoshop)) I may be spending next weeks tier in her store. Keep an eye on this creator folks, she's got some great things and I can;t wait to see who she can turn me into next.

Talena: A marvelous cascade of hair, as black as the wing of my tarn, loosened behind her, falling to the ground. I saw magnificent olive skin and those wild green eyes and features that were breathtakingly beautiful.

One Voice July 9th to the 15th

Hello my digital darlings,

I felt the need to post this here, my followers are still few yet, never the less this is something that needs to be spread, like a summer wild fire in southern California. I was working on my next blog post, which will still be forthcoming with a minor deviation. When I stumbled upon a most curious curiosity about one of my favorite skin makers, Curio owner Gala Phoenix. This wonderful designer from our beloved virtual world had been shut down on Marketplace. Busy in world I became confused and did a bit of web trolling to discover that do to a very nasty case of copyright infringement her items had been pulled from the digital forum, let me be clear, it is against her, not her doing the nasty deed. Here We will have it from her own words.

A message from Curio

Her  story is heart wrenching. And something that no one should have to experience. It does not just effect her, copyright infringement as awhile effects us all not just creators. Allow me to break it down for you.

A designer make a particular item, be it skin hair clothing, building, script, what have you. The creator sells said item for X amount of lindens. You the devoted virtual vivant that you are buy said item from creator. you wear it use is with pride, making it further into some thing for all to enjoy. Renegade copy monster with no heart or soul to speak of copies this item. The original creator is robbed, your item that has been incorporated int a style/build/ scenery etc, is devalued, it could be the original it could be the fake. Not only that, but who on the grid has not made something. This would be blogger can still remember the first two prime she linked together, the first time she strung a few lines of script on a notecard, and the laughable attempt when she tried to upload a mesh item. (( I'll post  a picture when I'm not so embarrassed) This could happen to anyone and it's something that must be stopped

In a response to this many second life designers have all come together to support Gala in her fight for justice by hosting a fundraiser to help with her legal costs. They are standing together as One Voice, to show the grid this is not something that will be stood for. And I urge you all to join in, the items for sale are awesome items, and at least a portion of their proceeds will go to helping Gala.

Here's you VIP Limo to the event: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mesh/92/84/22

She has truly been an inspiration to me and I cannot thank her enough for all the help and advice she has given me in furthering my career.
