    Buck Up for Winmer, or Sumter

    FriWhip

    A quickie, just to get my day started…which is kind of silly as it’s 2am here. I cannot believe it is the 17th, Christmas is only days away, and yet there is nothing really Christmasy feeling about it, unless you consider funny names on plurk and of course the decorating of sims and body, such as I have done today. But are you feeling the nostalgia, the need to find that ultimate gift for loved ones, or looking forward to as many of your family and/or friends getting together on the big day ?

    As I get older, it becomes more about making sure I remember that the stores will be closed, and to be sure to order enough red bull in my next delivery. It is funny too because in the past I have shuffled my Christmas day – a day ahead of most – with being in Second Life to do customer service on Christmas Eve, a hectic last minute explosion where everything hiccups and it is all awesome – I miss customer service lots and lots, may have to do something about that in the new year.

    Maybe I am still not used to being so overexposed to it so early, as soon as the halloween stuff was about to come down the thanksgiving and christmas stuff went up in Second Life, and for us down here, your thanksgiving meal is more like our Christmas, so somehow I feel like I have already had my turkey and all the fixins.

    Lucky for me and other Aussies, there are designers like Dakota Buck taking care of our warmer weather needs. This weeks fifty L Friday items from Whippet & Buck are these adorable tiered skirts. The two colours that you will get are divine, and so easy to mix and match. I went with black for the pink skirt, but could have easily gone with chocolate, creams or even blues.

    Moving down the legs, past The Strand socks and onto the New YS &YS Yeti boots, this is so cool, as only recently did I delete some Yeti boots from 2006-7 ish. They come in a lovely range of colours. Yeti boots are so much fun, not just because they look great, but who can not chuckle at the idea of boots made from Yeti fur…the idea that man has never caught one, but we managed to make shoes from them none the less.

    The tops I am wearing come from Fri.day, the one on the left being the newer Rhapsody tunic, this is a two layered look, with the top layer having only one strap and a cute puffed sleeve attachment. I was impressed with the info in the pack letting you know that with all avs being different sizes, you may need to do some editing on the sleeve and that your AO ‘may’ effect it’s movement, due to the inability to do afull shoulder covering because of the one arm template. Many don’t realise that is how clothing is done, so that info is really nice to have provided. Another part of the top that I love is the belt, the thin mid torso belt is perfect for high waist skirts or anything really, adding an extra accent to a look, so worth the tops purchase just for the belt.

    The fluffy furry stole I have on over the Dion shirt is from SDB, this stole is NOT mod though, my version isn’t anyway, so you will have to pray to the heavens that it fits. I am not sure if that is still the case with the item in the store, but yes, it’s a really pretty item, but unfortunatly with no glitch and no mod, it is not going to fit all. So if your breasts are bigger than a 65 and your larger than I look, be warned.

    Speaking of warnings, the fun antlers I am wearing need a big tag hanging from them saying DON’T TOUCH MEEEE – watch that youtube it is adorable – but back to antlers lol. These come with emotes built in, so if someone clicks on you, well all sorts of things could happen in open chat, but thank goodness they do have a lock option, and they sparkle and look fabulous, and you know you want to find out what they say, let’s just put it this way. If I wasn’t partnered and Newdoll wasn’t partnered, we would have to get married now.

    I have used and added another stock image to the Second Life Stock Images Group, some incredible photos have been added for people to use, I cannot wait to play with some myself. If you do use them, please mention it in comments, it is an amazing thing to know your images are helping others with their pics.

    The background used in todays pic is a merge of location shot and PS work, as in the outside of the window is me chopping down a smaller pic to fit. Free to use in the Second Life Stock Images Group on Flickr .

    I think jeans lovers of the grid rejoiced when Bela Tolsen hit the grid. I have said it before, and it only gets proved every release, the woman really knows how to do pattern work with pants, and the jeans in this post are all incredible. Even if you are not into the overly patterned, there is so much range in her prints that there is bound to be something that catches your eye. I could seriously stay in the grey stiched pair near the window for yonks.

    Also wonderful to have as a staple, and I do love that these are solids not prints, the off shoulder tops, also from Tutti Frutti. A little raised on one side, perfectly styled for off the shoulders, and also a great piece to do layered looks with. I decided to keep it simple today though, some ElikaTira hairstyles – please Elika may we have some MOOOORRRREEEEE.

    Shying away from the sun, in the new Glam Affair skin Jadis, in the Yuki pale edition. Different brows to choose from, and option of with or without hair base.The hair base is a creamier white than usual, so you will have to be careful when choosing hair attachments, yay for demos. I opted for the full styles though, and with the brow options going to black it was a no brainer really. There is even a no brow option for those that wear tattoo options.

    More of the Jadis to come in other darker tones, so don’t worry you don’t miss out if you don’t go for a paler skin. This one is lovely though, and the make ups are delightful. Not only am I taking the Tee*fy flats for another spin, I am also wearing the yummy and snuggly scarf that is another item at the Albero Dollar Market, these items are made as transfer for gift purchases for Christmas, so don’t miss out.

    HUNT

    The Happy Holidays Hunt is in full swing.It started the other day, and people have been going to and fro to grab all the goodies while they can. The items are priced at 10L each item but the items are incredible value, and usually have a ticket price around the 400L mark I have heard.

    Some of the stores at The Deck even have items in the event, see HERE. I most likely wont be able to get through all of them before the event is over, but I am going to try. The items in todays post are from the hunt. What I have liked about all the items so far, is that you can incorporate them into other looks when you are done with the originals.

    You can see I am also wearing the incredible hair attachments from Amacci, these formal do’s are just magnificent.With the Amacci hair bases being available in so many incredible colours, you will be able to coordinate looks that are right for you. The cute little flats I have on are from Tee*fy at the Albero dollar fair, they come with three options, in a great range of colours, and there are also some adorable scarfs there too.

    Each store that is part of the Hunt should have a poster out the front with the details of where you start, but you can just randomly move to stores you are familiar with first and so on, some incredible releases as mentioned and lots of fun can be had if you hunt with a group of friends, so far the hunt clues provided have all been top notch, so you wont spend hours pulling your hair out :).

    As I went down to the river

    MonTissu Party

    MonTissuCas

    I have been having a lot of fun with the stock images I have taken, in these pictures again it might look like they were shot on location, but no, all done in my VR Studio. I was absolutely floored by the picture that Anya OhMai did in a post the other day using one of the backgrounds from the Second Life Stock Images flickr group, she is so talented, that it rocked to have something from the group used by someone so wonderful.

    Both backgrounds are from Lula the home of Mon Tissu, that finally opened today, to much aclaim. Everyone I know has gone gaga over the release, and I myself was so impressed by the detailing of the items, you really cannot understand how amazing they are just off the vendors. An item I haven’t shown yet is so well structured it totally had me fooled.

    The other day while Whimsy was swanning around in her Mon Tissu goodies, I was intrigued by how ‘real’ the skirt she had on looked…now don’t get all persnickity about photosourcing, because there is a big difference between sourcing and just taking a pic or downloading an actual garment and shoving it on a template. Things are sourced in SL all the time, for instance try handdrawing a knit pattern, can you imagine having to draw some wool make it look like wool, then mold that piece into what would look like one part of a stitch? then to repeat that hundreds of times until you get one row of knit, to then again copy that over and over to be able to get a patch big enough to make a texture for a scarf.

    Or good luck getting really beautiful leather shoes/boots if leather in some varieties wasn’t sourced. Anyway, not saying these things cannot be achieved, just saying it isn’t always practical, and if there is true work done to the item, and the sourcing is just a small part of the overall finished product, then you need to learn the difference when throwing around accusations. This is all coming out ranty, but that is not the intention.

    What I was getting at in a round about way, is that the skirt had me totally fooled, what ‘looked’ like it might be more sourced than not, wasn’t even on the mesh texture at all, the skirt was done so well at the front with sculpties that I had to zoom and cam and turn and go ‘OMG’. That is what you will never realise from a flat image, that often what can look flat or have a more realistic look than you assume it should, is actually just made so well that it looks real.

    Just like I remember when Maitreya Gold first came out, people were actually accusing the pics on flickr as being images from another programe that they couldn’t be second life, Maitreya sure showed them. Anyway, I will show that skirt one day soon, and you will see what I saw, because the Mon Tissu blending of real and handdrawn is wonderful, and I cannot wait for more.

    The party dresses in the first pic are so adorable, and I can see wearing the tops or skirts of the dress as seperate pieces for other fun looks. So many bows, even my hair is a bow, loving accented with some divine and delicate pieces of jewelry from Whippet & Buck another incredibly talented duo. Wouldn’t you just love to sit in a room and pick the brains of creators like these two fashion brands, I know I would.

    Boot love all over the place, how Elie Spot – otherwise known as Emma Gilmour – was able to top her recent cowboy boots with these ones is just amazing. If we could somehow convince her to spend the next two months only making shoes and boots OMG. The cardigan in its beaded vintage beauty, with the underneath beaded tank, is a true showing of how meant to be Mon Tissu is, and how it’s creators are really in eachothers creative space in such a great way. I took the belt from the Park Avenue top and wriggled it down to the hips, stretched it and voila a great bow belt for the jeans as well. Even the jeans are mod, which is just amazing.

    I am wearing Curio hair in the top pic, and Exile new and old in the second pic. The new hair is Hannah and so cute, love the loose braid on the side, again Kavar just makes such stunning and feminine locks.

    Make sure when visiting Mon Tissu you take your man with you, he can look around the incredible sim, add pics to the stock images group 😛 and get used to being there, because future releases are going to include ones for men.

    Lula location
    The long anticipated opening of MonTissu is just over the horizon, it will be open this Saturday officially, but if you have been chomping at the bit to see the new location for Lamb, Tres Blah, Mon Tissu and Turnip then Lula is where you want to go. Turnip Sorbet has been working on the build for the past few months, and it has been well worth the wait. The style of stores are just charming I wish there were more of them to explore, the landscaping is some of the best I have ever seen, this is not just a commercial sim, this is a destination.

    Earlier today a few dozen fans got the chance to have morning tea with the owners of Mon Tissu and special guests Lamb and Turnip. Lamb has already opened her store with the new rlelease of her hair Wild Nothing, which I am wearing in the post. Tres Blah also released a new skin, but I am wearing an older one from the blur event of a few months back. I am also wearing some of the tops that are due for release, the So Boho top I have been coveting for weeks now, the style is superb, old vintage handcrafts made into something so wearable and chic, the Joli beaded tunic is a divine cleavage enhancement without being too out there. Both tops are created by the two owners of Mon Tissu and truly show their talents.There is a lengthener skirt base to the So Boho top, but I loved the finish it had without as well.

    I was watching an old tv show earlier, and the main girl was wearing some great gaucho pants. I have a few pairs in SL but was thinking that some of my favourite pants might be convertible, and sure enough with mod and copy as an option I was able to shorten and edit the prims, and voila, my Fri.day trousers are now gauchos…I even flared out the pants layer, so they weren’t a tight fit, yay for mod clothing.

    Whmsy and I were fortunate to be invited to the preview of Osakki’s new mainstore opening the other night. Not a huge collection but a great start, and such a great array of mix and matchables. The leggings I have on were part of that release, and if you are a leggings/tights fan, then you best get on over there. The leggings and most of the clothing is so 80’s reminiscent for me, so I had to go there, with my leg warmers and armwarmers I could totally audition for my leading role dance number, after I get the man and of course have fabulous hair all the way through.

    In both pics the shoes are new, the first set being the latest slouch boots from Gos, so many options, with metals changing and the leather option of the boot, or the straps and wood/sole base, its all interchangable. These worked out really well with my pants, and with the tops of them being not so tight, they are great for tucked in pants for winter weeks to come. The flats are adorable and from SLink, these are June shoes and are available at the Albero event that starts today…so many things start today, it is funny how often stuff starts same time as other stuff, I wish the lindens would make some sort of google calender and we would all put in dates and lock them in, would be so much easier on everyone. It is one of those collective conscience things I guess, it freaks me out how often we talk about something amongst a small group and then others end up doing same…Whimsy thinks we are bugged lol.

    Anyway the event is a gifting one, were whatever you buy is transfer so you can do some incredible Christmas shopping in advance, and everything is supposed to be priced under a USD Linden equivelant, which is nice for the budgeters. So deprim and have a wander over there too, if you haven’t seen the Anya Ohmai pig snowglobes you haven’t lived and they are at the festival too and OMG so cute

    In Protest

    I did another backdrop today. I am definitely having fun with them, and I do hope that someone gets some use out of them other than me. But regardless it is fun, and it makes me push myself past my regular white background. Plus I do find it easier to fake depth with the backdrops, having a floor on them so to speak, lets me arrange my cutouts in a way that gives them more of a 3D quality. You can find it and others at Second Life Stock Images . You have to see some of the ones that Whimsy has done too, they are awesome.

    The first picture is of a dress I have been waiting for for AGES. Marni of Royal Blue made this Tank about 2 months ago, if not more, and has been making me wait for it for all that time. Well worth the wait though and so cute, the colours are wonderful and you can dress it up, or make it super casual. I went with both ways, for the pics, and the dressed up way also features her latest bow necklace and gloves.

    Today Whimsy and I started the day doing some of the 25L Tuesday shopping, it is a more Gorean focused group of stores, and I love them all. They have such an incredible range of goods, not just clothing, the basket of cookies I am holding is one of the goodies I snapped up. The hair I am wearing in this pic is all from Magika, and not only is the hair as cute as already, but Sabina has outdone herself this year with her Christmas Hair, every year she does something fun, and this year my favourite is the mistletoe one. The one in the centre is a new one with the added length worn as a seperate attachment, so you actually get two looks in one, and with her giving you the mirrored as well, that is really four.

    The second pic is of the Royal Blue trench coats, these are more of a dressed look than an actual coat, because of it’s total closed style. But with leggings, socks or pants, you can mix up a different look for each day. The detailing on the coat is wonderful and the belt and buttons just give it that little extra class. I am wearing the new Candy Clogs by Shiny Things with these coats, a little lower heel than regular heels, with an open back of clogs, but a maryjane style front. The colours are so pretty, and the button has a mix of colours allowing for a nice flow into mix and match.

    The hair is from Amacci and I am loving the Rhoda on the left, and for those of you that can’t do the hair base thing, the new ponytails are similar to prereleased attachment ones, but with hair all over, so you get your cake too.

    Bring on the Mod Squad, seriously that is how I felt as soon as I layed eyes on this beauty.

    The latest Belle dress from Elate is just marvelous darlings, and what better way to show off your sexy legs, than with knee high boots, an expanse of skin and this beautiful retro fashion. The fun thing about the dress is it’s ability to look both casual and fun, or sleek and dressy, it will all depend on the accessories, boots/shoes and how you flick your hair.

    Speaking of flicks – see how I lead you right there – the new styles from Exile are scrumptious. The Nyx hair is amazing and Lake I really would love to have in a hat hair combo. Kavar as I have said before, really levels up each and every time he releases.

    I could see wearing any of the colours of this dress, to christmas parties and the festive activites bound to occur over the coming weeks, the colours and style are perfect for it.

    I made another backdrop background in PS for this post, and am adding it to the Flickr Group Second Life Stock Images, so I hope someone finds good use for it :).

    SL Stock Images Group on Flickr

    Matriarch_003 SL Stock Images Group

    RoyExample

    MatriarchRoyal3

    A long while ago I was inspired by Cajsa Lilliehook of It’s Only Fashion, to make a Flickr Group. So what is so different about this Flickr Group than others you may ask? Well it is called SL Stock Images, which might actually give you a clue of its purpose. The reason it was inspired by Cajsa, is that she is one of those bloggers that can find the most amazing of locations to shoot her images, and actually compiles a notecard, which she updates often, and sends out to the other blogger groups. But when “I” – this is one of those moments you want to make the word I bigger than it is – try and shoot on location, I can never find the right looking sim, or get my lighting sorted, or not crash a million times, or just everything works against me, that hours go by and I just end up tping back to my VR Studio and taking all my pics there and working on them in PS.

    But when I am NOT looking to shoot something, I find awesome locations, or get inspired by just the way a planter pot is leaning against a wall of some delapitated shed somewhere. Somewhat like the things you see when you actually google stock images, that you may want to use for post processing, and often the ones that would be perfect are not free to use, so you end up back where you started.

    So I made the group, and then Hair Fair and other things distracted me, and with Cajsa being not so well lately, I felt it was time to actually do something with the group. So today I went to a location that I knew was kind of interesting, and took some pictures, with various lighting and shadows…and uploaded them to the group. Once the pictures are put in the group they are for anyone to use, in Second Life ads, photography, blog pics and so on, they are not to be used commercialy or given away, and to submit pictures in the group means that you took them yourself, or made the backdrops in PS/Gimp yourself.

    I could have take a picture in this wonderful location while I was there, dressed as I am, but decided to instead do my own merging using the stock image. So you can see the blending of the image above with the pic of me in the VR Studio, and then the after work and final image. I hope many contribute to the group, and find some inspiration to use the stock images for their own work…if you are a location photographer blogger, consider every time you shoot a scene doing one or more pics without you in them, and adding them to the group. They could even come in handy for you yourself to use again in the future, or even if something goes wrong, you can use them to mend your other work.

    A little something something, with the With Love Hunt still going on full tilt. The starting point is at Le Circue, and it is well worth the time, as the items are just wonderful, and of a really good quality.

    Just one of the outfits today, but with hair and accessories also hunt items. The Bliss Couture hair is not your every day do, by no means, but I do love these styles for evening wear, and also they shoot so well, as they usually contain minimal if no alpha, so very little work has to be done on the pics. The accessories are very cool bangle stacks, but with the added rings and lace gloves, that is an awesome addition to this look, as it’s an option not a must, so you can play around with the look… very Madonna 1984.

    The Nemesis outfit is all win also, what with the bustier being so nice on its own, and the skirt having two options, with or without chain, there is also an oversized chain collar, that is all win, but I decided that the Bow from Royal Blue was a must as I have been playing around with it on and off for a few weeks now – mind you I did lose them for a few weeks in between lol.

    The skin I am wearing is another newish from YS & YS , I told you they came back with a bang, only showing off some of the make ups in this set, as usual though they are wonderful. Also some new eyes from Adam n Eve that just got released today. Such nice speckled colours and funnily enough they seemed to match the make ups in order lol.

    Have an awesome time hunting for the other goodies, and get ready for the next instalment of the hunt that starts on the 10th.

    New New Newness. New shoes are always fabulous, and even better when it is new boots.

    I was so excited to find out that J’s has released a brand new boot style, very nordic with the fabulous knit socks, but it is the clog style boots that are just divine. Perfect leather, and wonderful leather colours as usual. there is a non knit option in the scripted menu, which means if the nordic socks aren’t your thing, then you can wear your own, or without.

    Still doing that mix of looks, what with it being hot down here, and all the clothing being released is for colder weather, but luckily there are still adorable little skirts that have been created in heavier fabrics, but short in length enough to still show off the gams. I love these porcelain skirts, so sexy and cute, yay fishy strawberry. I am wearing the Jane aviator jacket again, but this time without the lower sculpted portion, because the finish to this jacket is superb, like woah, so it is totally a jacket on its own. The L’opera bodysuit is a must have item, also from Fishy Strawberry, plunging back, high front with shoulder pads to boot.

    I am wearing another of the latest YS & YS Skins, this time Regina, and I opted for a freckles tattoo from one of the other skins, that actually works so well no matter the tone. Great idea to copy and paste all your tattoo layers that come with other skins, and bundle them all into one, spend some time playing around with them and see if they are interchangable and then folder them into ones that are, and ones that aren’t. Much easier than having to find them when you think of them.
