    Getting my Boho Chic On

    Getting my Boho Chic on

    I am having one of my annual layout meltdowns. I say annual, this is the kind of thing though that depending on how much Blogging I am in fact doing, can be once or five hundred and twenty five times a year. I do not do much editing in my pictures, even less now that everything is mesh. Because of that, I usually get all creative anxious and want to make the pictures I do take look presentable in some way that is fun for me, and hopefully enjoyable for you too, even if really simple, it is just how I get. In the years that I have been doing this though, it also means that I have done so many different styles, that sometimes I want to jump back to something already done, or done but now different, so pay no mind to my crazy right now, I am all over the place. I also tried to work out the dimensions for pictures to present correctly in social media, and that means limiting width and height, and goodness does that just make you nuts.

    I found this top in a Gacha, and it has all the boho loveliness that you need in a going to a festival kind of look. Even though black, I wanted to keep adding to the detail colours and felt that the olive was just perfect. I mentioned the other day great customer service, this is another case of that. The leggings and sleeves are by Blamage, and the sleeves are actually part of a top. The top part is just hidden…this is because when I purchased the top, I ached for the sleeves to be separate items, and contacted the creator, who then with very little gap in time, came back to me with a new hud that hid the sleeves or hid the top, so you get the best of both worlds. I just loved that the ruffled trim to the leggings waistband and the sleeves matched so well to the similar trim on the top.

    When I am out, and the sun is a bit stronger than expected, I often say ‘I am growing new freckles’. If you have freckles you will totally understand…the Summer blush sets by Izzie’s make that sunkissed reddish glow to the body and a smattering of freckles really bring that look alive, and that really enhanced this whole ensemble.

    The divine jewellery is another of my old and new mixes. The earrings are the latest Beachy Boho earrings set by Yummy, and the Dreamcatcher necklace that is almost 10 years old now, is also by Yummy and I think they work marvelously together. What a skill she has in creating fine pieces, and the detailing in that dreamcatcher is amazing, look at the hook and wire bending metal work that went into holding on the gemstones…that is definitely above and beyond work when you consider how rare it would be to be zoomed in that close to see it. As a fish lover, I logged in and raced to get the set of earrings, because its all under the sea type goodness.

    The whole look was fun and lively, and so the hairstyle had to tap into that cuteness, and this Batalie style by Exile did that and then some. It is actually a Halloween style, with a bat wing headband, but the headband is separate and the hairstyle on its own is adorable, and that name is just double fun.

    Just Beachy

    Just Beachy

    I saw this hair at this round of Collabor88 and just had to have it. It gives off that dried in the sun from the surf look, that if I was to catch some in my mouth it would be salty, and I am here for that. When your hair is neither straight nor curly, but that in between, hitting this look is a blessed day, and I can even describe the day that it happened for me in RL, and how upset I was that it was just an ordinary day of the week and there was nowhere to go looking so awesome.

    Monso has released some amazing styles that I love over the years, and this one is just jumping in leaps and bounds to the head of the list. The dark roots just make it even more fun, and there is an actual style variation that puts the hair behind the shoulders and gets rid of most of the hanging in front of the face look, but no thank you very much, not today, maybe not ever for me, but I love that I do have the option.

    Speaking of options, I have mentioned before about how un-shy I am when it comes to approaching creators – with respect – about wanting more from something, and when I got this Chloe set from Smesh I was addicted to the bustier and sleeves, I believe I have mentioned that in the past, but while I loved the colours it came with I wanted more, so I contacted the creator and asked to consider making another colour palette pack…she threw me a curveball because she asked for colours I wanted, and honestly that was the thing, I did not care, I just wanted more. So to hear from her a few months later, randomly, with a v2 HUD of a few other pastel colours made me blissfully happy, because she not only added more, but remembered it was me that contacted her and got back to me, how is that for awesome customer service, I am not 100% sure where this pastel version has ended up, so if you do not see it, maybe contact her and ask. I layered the bustier over an older tank I had. I love being able to layer mesh and bom.

    Everything is Rosie

    Everything is Rosie

    Bakes on Mesh is still scary to some, or confusing, I myself am confused by how it is, but it is, and I hate that people miss out on such amazing things because of that fear of the unknown. The confusion I often encounter, is that because it was named something other than what it is, people think it is something new to them, when in fact it is how everyone for the most part started their Second Lives in the first place. Bakes on Mesh (BOM) is system layers, that is it, pure and simple. It is the same icons we used before we had mesh bodies and appliers became a thing. We are now almost five years into it, but I still randomly see comments of people that are older than mesh, saying they will never use it. One of the reasons that I mention this, other than to start a narrative – oh how I miss the days when people used to engage with Blogs and Bloggers – is because not only am I probably BOM’s biggest fan, but also because of things that people may not think of when using it.

    People that do use it, have possibly heard of the stacking of layers, that when you wear bom layers you need to sometimes make sure that the layers are in the correct order so that each component is visible, such as you cannot wear eyebrows before you wear a skins face (tattoo layer) or the brows will sit under the skin, and you will look way too editorial.

    But it is that stacking that makes me blissfully happy, because as I do believe I have mentioned in the past, I stack multiple versions of the SAME items. Have a bra or tank top that you want to wear under something but it is sheer, right click copy and then paste and then wear as many versions of the same thing until it is no longer sheer. Have a blush that is just not giving you enough ooomph, do not go looking for another blush, copy, paste and stack multiple until it gives you more – now this may not always work, it is going to depend greatly on how the item is made, but for the most part it does work. Such as my eyeshadow today, I have 3 layers of it on, because it had blended a little too much into my face with the lighting I was using, and the foil freckles the same thing, they were not popping enough for my pic, but stacking multiple of them gave me the outcome I wanted. This may not work with everything, but the next time you find that you feel a little underwhelmed by the outcome of the BOM item that you really want to use, give it a try, right click copy then paste then add. We could never do that with appliers and you have 60+layers to play with, so go wild!

    Another highlight to my day/look today, is when different brands do such a similar colour palette and then also fit against each other so well. This top is from Rowne and the bloomers that had me logging in and racing to get are from Tres Blah. I was ecstatic to find out that the plunging V base of the top fit perfectly over the waistband of the bloomers. Then to have only a few colours of the top, but the fatpack of the bloomers, meant that I had a bit of wiggle room with the colours, and this combination was perfection. I love this combination, and can see myself bloomering all over Second Life like this. I love that they are ruffled and so feminine but have this knit look to them, that works so well with the top that is also a wool heavier mix look. Perfection for my Winter down here rebellion.

    I ran over to Lamb to see what I could put together hair wise for this look, originally I had planned to do a more lady like updo look, then thought something wavy midlength and wild…then across the room, in the older styles I saw Zelda II. Now if you were not around when this style was released, you missed what we would consider a broke the grid moment…the majority of the grid was wearing this hair for weeks. I did not have the II version, I had the original version, so I was delighted to see that there was a rose gold metal option on the HUD, so I grabbed the pastels pack, because it was definitely a whole vibe, and back to the studio I went.

    Once I had the whole look together, I was wondering, does it need a little something more…I found this lovely choker in my inventory that delightfully is MOD, and a few tints and everything was Rosie!

    Striking

    Striking

    I do love a good braided hairstyle, but what grabs me about this one, is that the ombre section of their HUD does not just give you a tapered effect going down, but actually follows the concept of what having an ombre hair style would do if braided. Now I cannot profess to doing a lot of ombre type wearing, to know how every store does a braid if they have one, but I just really loved the outcome of this one, and it really seemed to go that extra mile. Now I am also wearing my favourite, go to hairbase by Izzie’s, this is her babyhairsv2 hairbase, which is years old now, but it has been my go to the whole time, and really added to this hair in a great way. It is made with the SLUV so works perfectly with the Genus Morph heads. This also allows me to break out my AlaskaMetro makeup that is also SLUV, and the editorial set is just perfect for this look, everything started at the top for this post, and progressed from there.

    This braid was so striking, that it needed equally striking accessories, and these earrings from Mandala are that. The mix of red, white and black, was just perfect for this look, and this great dress from Vinyl brought it all together. I am wearing bom leggings with the dress, because one, I am cold, and two, I am cold. I did however leave some room to show off my UTOPIA@Design shoes I picked up at Shop and Hop SLB21, because they are gorgeous shoes and at the moment discounted in the UTOPIA@Design booth.

    The Vault – Winter Rebel

    The Vault - Winter Rebel

    When you live on the other side of the equator, you really are living a Second Double Life. It is funny how many of us there are that are not in the start of Summer right now, but all fashion and releases at this time of the year definitely lean in that direction. This is not a new rant, I think I mumble something about this every year. I am not really upset about it, it is just funny. Today I decided to mix it up a bit, with a lightweight look, but with a nod to the cold that is the other half of the world, with this great headband from Pare, the beautiful cami top is also from Pare, and check out how fantastic the fit is on those straps.

    Now the hairstyle I am wearing is a Truth Collective style by Faga. However, underneath the headband is an actual braid going across the top ear to ear. This is a lovely style, but because it was all so securely pulled back to fit under the braiding, it was also the perfect style for this headband, as it gives the real impression that the headband is what pulled back the hair…I love that.

    I also wanted to create a vibe, that said even girls into the darker edgier side of things, can have a girly day. These armlets, the lovely earrings and the bhindi are all from stores featured at The Vault. Each item has HUD options and they all worked out well together for my needs. Maybe I am out shopping for some eye of newt, or just milling through a crowd to accidentally on purpose get a few strands of someones hair, for purely innocent reasons of course.

    Baby Gothy Mothy

    The Vault - Gothy Mothy

    I do so love fun names for things, and the Gothy Mothy had me captured, the fact that the set is just so fun is besides the point, the name grabbed me first. I am just wearing the wings part of the set, there are antenna and eye coverings that are all texture change and animesh and just all sorts of fun to be had. Gave me a reason to put on my Baby Goth makeup by AlaskaMetro, as you know I do not need an excuse really for that, but how cute does it all look together, and can we applaud these horns by Celesticat, more HUDs of awesome, and the texture work is just fantastic. Inspired me to colour my hair, with this lovely TRUTH style called Angel, and well they wear wings right. I especially like this half updo style, because instead of a band around the pulled back hair, it is hair wrapped around hair, and I often use my hair to tie back my hair, I did it today actually, you have to do what you have to do when all your hair elastics turn into wire coat hangers.

    What is in a name – Content edition

    The Vault 1

    If this is your first time to a Sasy Talk, then a bit about me. I have always worked in Second Life, behind the scenes for dozens of brands over the years, some publicly, some privately…it depended on the work and how involved it was. So when I see a thing, I often communicate said thing – this means that I have been IM’ing stores about this, but to most of them these days, I am some random person, saying some stuff, so I thought that it may make more sense in this format. Work aside, it also means that I often look at and use my inventory in a high octane way. It is big, not as big as it would be if I actually unpacked things…but big none the less. I also have multiple bodies, I am not a body changer on the fly type of person, I just happen to have a few. But I only recently – the last year or so, changed from my Slink bodies to eBody Reborn. I go back to Slink often, but when I am out shopping these days, I am buying items that include eBody Reborn in them, I also tend to make sure that what I am buying has at least one other body I own included, that way I am covered if I change.

    Coming from nearly a decade of one body, to another is tough, I empathise with all in that, but what some tend to not understand, is not only do you potentially feel out of sorts with your new look, you end up very disconnected from your inventory. I have over 400 thousand items in my inventory (I have deleted as much over the years, on the beta grid I have over 650K) and in the past, regardless of the day, the mood, the weather, I knew what I wanted to wear, who made it, what colours I had, and very often where to find it in my inventory. Even if I had not ‘put it away’. Now, because of that disconnect, I use the inventory search function to find something to wear. I buy things, but I am not as invested in them as I used to be, probably because I have not taken them to the posestand for a post as soon as purchased, like often was the case in the past. This means that I type in search…Reborn + Dress or Reborn + Top/Pants and sometimes Reborn + Pants + olive etc. All my Bom underwear is easy, that is in my favourite wearables. But right now, as I am learning what I like, what I love, what I need, that is how I am doing it. That is the main reason for this post.

    The other day I did a video, and in the video I mentioned ‘do not change peoples logos’ it was a whole thing in my head, but my words in the video were milder. What has also always been a thing that creators do, is they play around with wording. Slink Hourglass ending up HG was due to the length of it more than anything, and while it was upsetting, you could search Hourglass or HG, but the Slink component was gone. I see the same with other things, Belleza ended up just being Freya or Isis and so on, but you learn and it makes sense. But knowing your body history is very very important also. Even though alas the brand identity is gone, most people will refer to bodies by the body name.

    Newer creators and even newer residents to Second Life, do not always know that there were things before them. So for instance if you were to now just say Belleza in a product, which Belleza would you be referring to? The three bodies prior or the newer GenX bodies? Such is also the case for eBody Reborn. eBody had bodies before Reborn, and they may have more bodies in the future, who knows, but lately I see items that are saying the fit they include is eBody, and they do not say Reborn at all, but it is a new release, so chances are they mean Reborn right? But what happens 5 months from now, when it is further along in the store, and someone sees it fits eBody, and they own Reborn, do they just walk past it believing it to be old? That is one of the hazards of Second Life content. Age is not communicated. You can still see items in stores or on marketplace that still contain Sculpties, and some of you may not even know what a sculptie is, if you joined Second Life since November 2011 that may never have been your world, but it can mean that even now, you could buy something that is useless to you. To think that we have now had Mesh longer in Second Life than we didn’t is amazing.

    So when you are creating for a particular type of body, it is important to list that body in the name of the item, not only because it is the right thing to do for someone to know it fits, but if you don’t, if you create some random way of communicating – eb-r , eBodyR, Reb, eBody, (r) < I have seen all of those – and there are more I am sure, then not only could a customer just not even try the items on, and potentially just assume it won’t fit them, but if they do try it, realise it does fit, it ends up never appearing in search in inventory, so then never gets worn, and while you may think ‘so what, the money was paid’ it means that the customer is not wearing it, not loving it, and not seeking out your brand in future for more purchases, you end up lost to them…you also miss out on the opportunity of someone else seeing them in it and wanting it, and tralalaling to your store to also buy it.

    Now you may be thinking, “well “Sasy you could also search the eBody search term’, but that brings me back to the first point…there existed a previous eBody body (two if memory serves), so if I do search that, and I do, do not worry, it brings up loads of things that then don’t fit this one, because they were made for the previous one/s. All of these examples can be swapped out for other bodies too, as I said this is not just an eBody Reborn, situation, it is across most of the bodies, and not only if they have had previous types. I once saw it done by just the first letter, but not consistently, it was done with some brands being the brands first initial and some the body names first initial, and when I unpacked I thought that the folder was full of standard sizing, because there was an S and an L and and a B (it was the B that made me realise what was happening) again us older residents have a whole history of ways things are done.

    I understand character limits, if your own store name is long, then the name of the item is long, and then if you sell by colour that is long, which also adds in the word fatpack also long, it becomes difficult. The ability to put it all out there is tough, I also know that often it is how people name stuff on their pc, and it is how it is uploaded, and it does not get changed – much like attach to right hand. I also know that because items predominantly are no mod, this means the end user also cannot change it to be the name they want. So perhaps if nothing else is possible, please throw in a notecard that has a title with the proper wording if impossible to put on the item, so that at least the notecard can come up when searching, and cause the end user to perhaps investigate further. Just to clarify, nothing worn in todays post was not doing it right, in fact Ison goes so far as to put eBody and Reborn in there, just in case, Harry has you covered! He is also having a sale for a few days currently, so get on over there and get your shop on.

    Then pop over to The Vault event, they have a lot of fabulous accessories items for you to enjoy, the ones I am wearing in this post are so great. The Sunglasses are a kind of steampunk style, that have so many options of customising, they are gorgeous and while they are meant to protect my eyes, I could not resist perching them on my head. They really look great against the striking style of Lamb Hair I am wearing in today post, and anyone that knows me, knows that I am all about the behind the shoulders options of a style hud, this has that, but as it was such a lovely long style, I wanted you to see that with the over one shoulder option, it has either shoulder, behind back and both forward, with two bangs choices, and how cute is this pink. I actually started out red and black today, and ended up pink and grey, I love Second Life for fun changes like that. This journal also is just adorable, and has a whole lot of colour combos. I wish you could change the strap separately, but it is still a must have item IMO. It is really beautifully detailed with smaller books sewn into the leather and hand stitched, they pulled off that so well. How am I paying for it all you may ask, well with my plastic money of course, another fun item from The Vault and comes as hand holds or a mouth-able, if the other things are hold-ables, makes sense it would be a mouth-able right?

    Hair Fair 2024 – Wasabi Flair

    Hair Fair 2024 - Wasabi Flair

    Mixing things up, wearing things in different ways, it is what makes Second Life the most fun…and Hair Fair 2024 – CLOSES 16th June at Midnight, so you have all weekend to shop – brings that out in me the most. I also had a little Hare jealousy going on from the other days piglet photobombing, so I just had to do a pic with one of this years Hair Fair Hares (Hearts & Crafts) isn’t he adorable, thank you again to Anya Ohmai for donating the Hares to the event for use each year to raise funds for Wigs for Kids.
    Wasabi, has always made sure to make their items in ways that people may choose to use them differently when possible, and the Sun hair is no exception, it comes with an adorable tied bandana/scarf look around the top, and is just delightful for Summer. Wasabi did give the option to turn that off though, which means that you can wear other Hair Accessories with it, or go completely without, you do you.

    I did me! This is the first year that Flair – the brand I co-create for with my incredible partner Mel Vanbeeck – are actually not only overseers of the event itself, but are participating. We made two exclusives and this is one of them, the Lilyfield Ruffle headband. When you spend as much time in conversation as I do with Gogo and Sparkle, you end up with a lot of ruffles and a lot of pink in your minds eye. So this headband was born, and I just love to add things to hair as you know, so the mixing of the two things, the fun Summery look by Wasabi and the headband just worked so well for me. I hope you like them both very much too.

    Hair Fair 2024 – Yomi

    Hair Fair 2024 - Yomi

    Just when you think it is safe on your platform/studio, along comes a Fancy Piggy, courtesy of my awesome friend Sparkle Skye, who sent me her this morning. Once rezzed and realising, she is way more Sassy than I am – she gets the extra S. I just had to try and be as cool as her with my Yomi hair, which is so gorgeous in its Scene hair way. We had a lot of scene styles back in the day, and this one is definitely reminiscent of that vibe. There is a separate purchase style HUD, and I think I got all the hairs available Exclusive and past releases in the Yomi booth at Hair Fair, because I was loving everything. The colour huds are abundant also, so you have a lot of options, in this style I went with the dark roots versions, and then of course spent another few minutes deciding which colour…but really like to keep on theme colour wise. There were event tintable versions of the Alaska Metro Laminate lashes to give a bit of a red look to. Winning!

    Hair Fair 2024 – Exile She Said Destroy

    Hair Fair 2024 - Exile She Said Destroy HYBRID

    I am certainly living my best Hybrid Hair SLife this year with Hair Fair styles. I took this fabulous exclusive style by Exile called Kory, and added the Bettie bangs and strands from She Said Destroy, also available at Hair Fair 2024. I love all these bits and pieces that you can turn into completely different looks, it gives you that edge – much like BOM – to your wardrobe. If you can add a little something that makes you stand out from the crowd, then go for it.

    I also love the behind shoulders option in the styling HUD that Exile gives for this style, you get the forward left or right, but also behind shoulders, which makes it much easier to get dressed.
