Earlier today I was laying out some building stuff, and Whimsy built me a lovely courtyard area to nestle it in. I ended up picking up the build, but couldn’t give up the chance to take a pic with the lovely bits and pieces that ended up a great space for this bistro table set by Cheeky Pea that is part of this months FaMEShed. FaMESHed has such an interesting assortment of items, from clothing and other fashion related items to homewares that are must haves, all under the one roof.

The other gorgeous FaMESHed item is this maxi dress – yes today is maxi dress day – by Rebel Hope. I really like the wave design, and it comes with colour and white or colour and black choices. The tank style of the dress is really fun and refreshing, and is a great way to show off broad shoulders. Cascading over these shoulders is the new Exile hair, also wavey and really attractive style wise. Finishing off the look is the jeweled butterfly necklace by Maxi’s. I really like that she does short and long versions of her jewelry, giving you the option to draw the eye to the right placement of jewelry. The Necklace is part of the Collabor88 release which is their 1 year anniversary special, so you really need to be sure to visit before it ends.

So I was looking all over for a place to take a picture, that looked as though I was out and about. Of course then it dawned on me, what better place to shoot a post containing items from Vintage Fair, than at Vintage Fair. The build is a delight, and the space to get a good pic is really nice, I only got rammed into once, but then it was my fault for being right on the edge of a corner.

I am using my VR Studio HUD and Mobile Library, loaded up with the Status Poses by Gidge Uriza that she did for Vintage Fair, it makes it a lot easier for posing on the go, and I am able to combine thousands, or make copies of the mobile library and just fill them dependent on store or type of pose. The set the pose is from is the Explorer set, so be sure to check that out.

The wonderful full maxi style dress is from Geometry. So much to love with this dress, first off the beautiful ruffled cap sleeves, so pretty. The length and the texture is wonderful, and then of course the elasticised bodice. I do not know what this feature is called by name, but when I was little so many of my favourite frocks had this effect, and it was even brought back for a while in the mid 90’s and I went overboard buying up everything. I even had a dress almost identical to this one as a little girl and I have a picture of myself sitting on a cannon in it somewhere age 3.

I wanted to add a little something to it though, so I grabbed the mesh cardigan belt from a Mimikri, and really like the look. A bag from Mon Tissu, the Esprit shoes from Maitreya all finished off with some gorgeous hair from Wasabi Pills that is also a Vintage Fair item. Then to bring all those soft browns together, I added the tigers eye set from Essentia, and I am off for a day strolling the stores and enjoying the sunshine – even if it is 4.55 am here.

Go and make the most of Vintage Fair while you can, the build is great, and you can even purchase the stores from the Trompe Loeil booth at the fair.

My Attic @ The Deck  just opened its doors a few hours ago, and the theme for this session is “Shaken not Stirred” . Even though I did feature the Cynful lingerie Deliciosa the other day, I wanted to show you all the colours available at the event, as well as one of the new WinxBoxes by Whimsy Winx and this time around, I collaborated with her on three of them, which was a lot of fun. With the lingerie, I also worked out that if you layer the colours under each other, you can get a cute effect such as pink under black or white, and blue under each and so on.

I am also wearing two of the hairstyles from My Attic @ The Deck, Ingrid which is by Mina and a lovely pulled back tight style with a great headband that has texture change hud options, all very glamorous and it comes with a hair base that keeps that tight sleek look from the hairline to the headband. The second style is Tracey, a piled high ponytail that is partial mesh, and also comes with a hairbase. Both are very Bond Girl/Elegant styles so definitely worked well with the theme.

I have spent the last few hours out the back verandah of the My Attic build, also built by Whimsy Winx, and had a great time chatting to people as they looked around, had a great chin wag with Evion Ember too *waves* I am actually still talking to her as I type this on my other monitor lol.

I hope that you all come by during the event, it will run until 31st of August and all items are 95L until it ends. I will of course feature more from it and everything else going on. The next Zodiac event is also about to start and Vintage Fair is still on for a while, so don’t miss them.

Only days away from the next My Attic @ The Deck and I am excited for it. It will start on the 21st of August and finish on the 31st. Today I am doing a sneak peak of the Cynful Deliciosa lingerie for the event. The lingerie comes in many colours but this white was a perfect way to feature the stunning new shoes by Celoe.

The Petal Sandals are all mesh shoes with foot built in, and they are just divine. The roses are beautiful and highly detailed and the straps are just wonderful. The look of them reminded me of the movie Marie Antoinette, so I gave it a spin this week and really enjoy that movie. I did also catch a mistake in the film that made me chuckle, you can see it HERE as I was able to Gyazo it. Apparently it is a known mistake, but I did not see it the first time watched at all.

The Petal Sandals have that beautifully crafted look for special occasions, and I can imagine the white worn for weddings most definitely. But the colours they come in and the straps and heel really open them up to be fun to wear with all sorts of outfits, or lack of clothing altogether. The HUD for tinting the feet is perfect, and allows for saving of

The new hair I am wearing is from Exile, and is really pretty, there is an added rigged attachment for this style, and the cascading curls look delightful and really suited my mood for the pics. I wanted to go the whole way, and created a face tattoo for the powder face look, but left the lips bare so I could wear one of the Baroque lipsticks by LaGyo at this months Collabor88.

Another Collabor88 item is this hanging bed by Cheeky Pea. This comes in an adult option as well as regular, and has three colours to turn to, the purple – very royal, and black or green. There are many poses built into the item, and while I think it is great, I do think that some of the more computer based poses would be out of place if purchased for an RP setting.  It is modify though, so you could perhaps remove them for realism sake. I set the bed out on the verandah of the other Collabor88 item the Tower of King skybox shown previously, both must haves.

Today I am going to do a post about the Radegast Viewer .Radegast has been around since 2009 and was originally a very light viewer with no visual detailing, more a text based client that allowed for people to interact from one space. This made it easy for people on the go to perform necessary tasks like customer issues, and being in world for meetings etc but without using all the resources needed for a regular viewer. Fiachra often logged in on this viewer to just chat, and would stand on our then platform and not be able to see himself or anything around him. All of that has changed over the years, and Radegast has an incredible amount of power now, but is still light weight for those unable to always run Second Life at full capacity.

The reason this viewer needed/deserved a mention is that while Hair Fair was on, Fiachra logged in on it – as he had been having problems logging into the regular viewer – and yet managed to do Hair Fair. The whole time he was at the event, I kept asking about everything he was doing and experiencing and was in awe of the answers. This viewer may be the answer for those that can’t do big events usually because of rendering and lag issues, and while I haven’t tested it in that capacity myself, it is definitely worth trying. One of the biggest contributors to lag is loading what you see, well in this case you only see what you choose to. I will explain as we go.

How objects are viewed is really amazing, and will take some practice, but definitely worth checking out. Especially the buying objects and looking at contents etc.

During the pic taking of this viewer, I was in world on my own account in firestorm, I logged in the rental alt for The Deck to have both on same time. So anything you see behind the Radegast screen is me in Firestorm.

All images are huge on flickr so click the image if you want a closer look.

Log in screen and Radegast viewer screen. Everything you see in the white box is how the viewer is visible while logged in. Visible avatars in the region listen on the right – I removed names of people and things I did not know or have connection to.

File Menu : as shown shows the basic functions such as log out and preferences, as well as upload options. This surprised me, as my history with this viewer as mentioned was many years ago and such a limited use, now you could do a lot of work with an alt at the same time, rather than have two full viewers running at once. Definitely good for business partners, or people that run businesses off another account that want to keep creator info current.

World Menu: This is the same set up as regular world options, but without land and wind-light editing functions – cannot see them anyway, so not needed. I did find it interesting that there was a fly option, but as you can move around in this client now, it makes sense.

Tools Menu : Self explanatory.

Plug Ins: This section was very interesting, as you can see in chat I was able to communicate with myself, without typing anything from TheDeck…it was an auto responding Alice ChatBot prompt. The other astounding thing was that it has built in Speech Recognition, that once activated was letting me know when I received an IM and what the IM said, this was amazing, and should be something available in all viewers in my opinion.

Friends List Group List: all functions that you would expect to see in a regular viewer, including those offline – I removed them

Inventory: You have a full inventory visual, as well as worn and recent items. Everything you are wearing will show in the bottom right side in that large area of the image.  I was able to move inventory and delete items easily, only downfall I noticed and it could have just been me not knowing how to use the viewer, but I was not able to shift or ctrl select multiple folders at once to move them. But for sorting inventory, and clearing a lot of waste, this would be the least distracting viewer to get that job done. It also might be a great emergency clean up option, as the other day I was having many issues staying logged in, was able to log in on one viewer I don’t usually use and delete 4000 items and then had no issues after that.

Giving items from inventory was a little difficult. While I had the profile open to send, every time I clicked on an item in the inventory the profile would minimise to my task bar. I did find that if I held onto the item with my left mouse button, and dragged it to the minimised profile it would then open and I could release it to the person. This seems a little risky though, so not sure again if it was just me not knowing the tools properly, but that was my interaction with it. Receiving items was a breeze and very clear indication that one was sent.

Search: This was very easy to navigate, but did show me as offline when I was so obviously online, but did so for Whimsy as well, so the online status may not always be correct. I especially liked the large visual and information option, much clearer than in the regular clients.

World Map : works the same as in all viewers, and very clear.

As you may or may not be noticing, all the functions being used from the top bar, are appearing on the second bar as being current. You can move back and forth between these tasks by simply clicking them, and use the red X on the right to close it when you are done.

Next is on to the objects portion which is where it all gets very different than regular viewers.

IMPORTANT : You can purchase items using this viewer, but there is NO warning when choosing BUY, teh money will be taken immediately. Only scripted items with PAY as an option will let you know the price before you proceed, and you can cancel like a regular purchase. Unless you have someone with you – and I do think that the best way to use this viewer for events is to do that, as Fiachra had me with him at Hair Fair – able to tell you how much an item is, you could spend more than you expected. So do not use the BUY option without caution.

Objects: This really impressed me a lot, as we went around Hair Fair, I would tell Fia the name of hair that I think he would like, and he would look for that item in the list of items around him, then highlight/click the item and choose the 3D View option and the vendor would open on his screen, he was able to rotate it, look at the image as clear as if he was in world on a full viewer, and make his decision or purchase the demo. You can see yourself in full scene options, but mesh and sculpts may take time to load, so trying demos on may be difficult, again something you would have to experience yourself.

As you can see from the images, I was able to select an item within a scene such as the shelf and look at it in detail, even able to look from different angles. It also gave information on creator of the item, the components of the items, as well as contents of the vendor.

Contents option is great for checking perms etc as a creator wanting to make sure everything is set up correctly, again without having to log in an alt on a full throttle viewer. You can see that you can also walk to an item. You can also search for individual things by name, this would be handy if you have lost something.

Pay Option: As communicated earlier, this option does show the amount and the ability to proceed or cancel but only in the pay option, not when you use buy, buy will take your money immediately so be very careful. Also be very sure you are selecting the right thing, look at it in 3d view first, as well as contents, so you know it is definitely the item you are wanting. This is again a reason to do this with a friend that is on a regular viewer as they can copy paste you the exact name of an item.

Media Voice : Easy to see how they work

3d Scene option : This is the full 3d scene in front of you, and can include your avatar – I zoomed past my av as my mesh was not loading well enough. As you can see, you could use this to keep checking/looking at booths at an event in full to get the general lay of the land, but it might take a little bit of time to rez.

IM Instant Messages : nice large screen easy to read and follow who is communicating with you.

All in all for those having issues getting into the grid at times, or just needing to pop in to do something quick and easy, or not wanting to rez everything and everyone at an event, this viewer is definitely a must to try at least once. So grab a download and take it for a whirl and let me know how you do.

Radegast Viewer 

I am not made for the internet. I don’t understand that whole separation from reality mindset that many have. I definitely don’t understand how people think that what they say in one place doesn’t attach itself to another. I see people in social networks doing and saying things and honestly believing that it doesn’t have anything to do with their Second Life. If the reason you have any friends, or followers on an identity created for Second Life, wouldn’t it make sense that everything you do is connected to it ?

There was a huge incident recently to do with Chick fil A – some info here – and it spread all over the networks, so many opinions shared or otherwise, but the majority felt that what the person did made a huge impact on the company…a negative one. So why would it be any different in Second Life and the branches that extend from. If you run a business here, wouldn’t everything you do be under some kind of microscope. It seems to be, when people want to rally against something. But when individuals just want to let it rip in some other medium and say derogatory things about other businesses or people, it is ok to let the freak flag fly, or is it ?

For every hundred followers on a social network, there are at least two thirds of those people just silently watching what is going on, then of the third left behind, half either follow along not wanting to rock the boat – the people being bad may have branches they like to climb – and the others are a mix of differing opinions vocally or biding their time. All the statistics of course are made up, but it is the  two thirds that interest me the most. Yes many of those may not ever see anything at all, they may have joined the network, added some people, accepted some invites and moved on, but there are also many that watch, take it in, and judge based on what they see.

Real life companies these days are scouring peoples facebook accounts, twitter feeds and so on, because they want to see what kind of character their employees have, how they are conducting themselves as representatives of a brand. This is no different in Second Life. Real money is involved and real reactions occur to what is put out there. It is easy to say that you are a person who has a right to speak your mind and so on, and yes that is true, but Second Life is 24/7 . I think it is a case of you don’t get to have your cake and eat it too, you may think you are having the cake, but many are getting a bite or two only, and the ones conducting themselves professionally at all times are getting the cherry on top as well.

To summarise, and yes I know I write like I talk, and that is just so confusing:

Don’t put down the creations or work of others, whether it be a store, a blogger or someone sharing their latest doodle in a public space, those people may also be on your timeline and it is hurtful. Don’t air your grievances with 400+ people you don’t actually know, if you are upset about something that is important to you, talk to people that are also really important to you privately. Don’t share customer interactions in a negative light with all your followers. If you delete the name, the person that is having that interaction with you may also be on your timeline, this may also put off others from purchasing from you, because if there is an issue they just witnessed how you would deal with it.

I am not a saint, I am the first to admit that if I don’t like something I will say so to my closest friends I happen to be with at the time, that is normal, but as far as letting hundreds of people know, just because I can, that would not happen. It is not only about conducting yourself professionally, because you may own a business, it is also about conducting yourself in a way that speaks volumes about your character.

Now about the fashion, the spade shirts are the latest from Mon Tissu, they are really beautiful slimline shirts with great prints and a really nice shape. My favourite part is the drape shading on the back, because it is really well done, and has such a nice look. My other favourite feature to this shirt is the sleeves length and cuffs, they are longer than the wrist and are just perfect. I like how the shirt looks with the dade slacks from Celoe, these pants don’t get worn often enough and I had to rectify that today. But then also with the blue and white stripe reminding me so much of girl wears boyfriends shirt, I went with the Ellio bikini bottoms for the back shot.

Not only a great way to show the back of the shirt , but also a chance to show both sides of the new Into Dust Hair from Exile a beautiful half uppydo, that has a lovely built bun at the back of the crown.

Stagioni means Seasons, and these new boots by Maitreya are styled perfectly for all four. Whether rugged up for the colder weather, or just having carefree day out and about, they are super comfy and stylish for all looks. The inspiration I would think is from biker boots, with the double strapping and shape, but they are suede and soft and definitely a must have in the beautiful soft colour pallette they come in. I can even see guys taking the black ones for a spin. The boots come rigged and un rigged – the unrigged versions come with a HUD for size changing and easier fit over mesh pants etc.

The other new release item for Maitreya is the delightful Xarra tunic. I loved these as soon as I saw them, they come in various options, from solid to tye dye and others in between, and there is honestly something for everyone colour wise. They are so cool to just slip on and off you go, with the great shape, this also means you can wear their skinny jeans underneath for a great layered look. I also wore one with the great wool tights from Mon Tissu. The cloth woven belt look is just even cooler, adding a touch of Mediterranean flavour to the look.

The hair I have on is the latest style from Logo, they have been doing some great mesh work lately with their hair, and I am looking forward to seeing more from them in the future. The Jewelry is by Maxi’s and the angel wings set is amazing, but my favourite of the two sets is the Madrah set, a very Egyptian style looking set, and the options for colours and insert types is great.

As mentioned in past posts, I really like the idea of hybrid mesh, the merging of texture based items with mesh accents or attributes. In this example it is the Nina tube top by Zaara. The top is system clothing base layers, with the addition of a mesh band and lovely long tie at the front. If you purchase a single colour of these tops you get the same colour tie band, but if you go fat pack – which is a great range of colours – you get the bonus of printed ties as well…so not only can you contrast with the other solid colours, but you can print up for an added splash.

Another great Zaara item are the fabulous Kavya summer pants. They are gaucho pants in style, and I really like the double tab buttoned sides, ribbed waistband and stitching, as they all add to the overall look. The pants look great casual or dressy. I also want to go though my inventory and find older strapless items to wear the bands from the Nina tube top and give them a  make over.

The other fabulous mesh items worn in this post are the divine new Rosy platforms by SLink, these are coming out in the next 24 hours, and they are another pair of add ons for the middle height mesh rigged feet. The strapping is so pretty and the heels and overall platform height are just great. There are nine great colours and because of the floral print they mix and match with a great range of colours. So look out for the notice about them coming soon.

The Jewelry I am wearing is the Annette set by Maxi’s that are featured at this months FaMESHed/August. They come in silver as well as gold, and the link work is really great, big jewelry but with slender linkage is very cool. The other event items are the hairstyles by Clawtooth at Collabor88/August. the two styles are similar, but one has more bang than the other, but both have that lovely layered look with pretty braid over the front of the shoulder. You definitely have to get over to Collabor88/August as it is the 1st Anniversary celebration, which has every past guest at the event with items.

The skin is the new skin by Izzies, this is the Elena skin and has the base skin with 4 brow colours, freckles layers, lipsticks and eyeshadow tattoo layers, so many combination of skins can be made from the different options. I really like the lipsticks and they do look great with other skins as well, so definitely DEMO DEMO DEMO the skin as it is a great look.

One year since the start of Collabor88 and it has been a rapidly passing year indeed. An amazing feat that is being celebrated by all the past guests and the regulars of the event in one month long celebration. So many amazing items, and the theme is perfection for a celebratory event such as this, as it is Baroque and we know that just makes you think of parties and decadence.

The beautiful build I am standing in for my pictures is by Trompe Loeil, it is so pretty and just the right size for some creative decorating and even some small social gatherings. The first item worn is the beautiful corset by Ingenue, I am wearing it with some older lingerie from the store. There are different colours available and they are all so lovely.

The second look is with the filigree bodysuit by Willow. Willow has announced it is closing down, so this will probably be the last release you can get, and it is really lovely, and also comes in various colours, but the royal purple looked so good with the divine jewelry from Yummy with the amethyst gemstones and diamonds.

The last look is mixing some Vintage Fair with Collabor88. The Jacket is by Boom for Collabor88 and is amazing, I could not resist wearing the red, but all the colours are rich and beautiful. It is so funky and I knew immediately what I wanted to wear with it, the poof set from MAiiKI which for those that don’t know, is a collaboration that Maitreya did years ago. The thigh high boots are by Ison, just one of the incredible releases they did for Vintage Fair, they are really nice in design, and I especially like the detailing of the leather strapping, buckle and stocky heel.

The other footwear is also by Ison, and it is for Collabor88, there are so many colours of both damask style print and leather, so easy to tint and lots of great nailpolish options all in the easy to use hud. The other great accessories are the oversized hair attachment and cherub ring and earrings by LaGyo, they always so such creative pieces, so this kind of event is perfect for them. They also did the lipsticks and eye-shadows I am wearing in this post, so colourful and fit really well to the lips of the Glam Affair skin I am wearing.

Lastly the hair I am wearing are three styles by Elikatira. The short asymetrical style is a recent release in the store, but the two other styles, are for collabor88 and they are just gorgeous. These are must haves, absolutely breathtaking styles.

I really liked the movement in these poses by BENT that are part of their Vintage Fair 2012 release. The clothing I am wearing is from One Bad Pixel, and the dress and jacket are an all in one combo, but please note, I am wearing the jacket from the white dress not the red. I am kind of hoping that they end up packaging the jackets as separate items, as they do look so great with pants or other items. I would also love it if they came in solids.

The wonderful thing about them being One Bad Pixel items is that they are sized perfectly, so much so that the babytux bra fits perfectly underneath, so you can keep that mesh look. The combination with the crop jeans also still keeps that vintage flair going on. The dress has the most lovely full skirt look, so very stylish and feminine. Both looks are great with the vintage 2strap shoe (add ons) shown in a previous post.

The close up pic was to show off the cool bangles by Fanatik that are at Vintage Fair 2012, I really like their style especially the double strapped leather one, that would definitely be a unisex item.

The skin I am wearing is the recent release from Glam Affair which is Cassiopea. This is a brand new body and tones, with the one I am wearing being Jamaica. I really like this skin a lot, I wish there were more in between tones though, and a darker tan like tone than the one I am wearing, as the next tone up is different rather than darker.

The stand out thing about the face for me was the eyebrows, they come in three colours, the darker brown being close enough to work with black hair, but the red is just divine. There are also five lip gloss tattoo layers that you can wear over the top of your lipsticks to add a different kind of gloss effect. This face and the make up, wow. Every single make up had me more in love with the package as a whole. Make sure to demo this skin as soon as you can.
