This song is very important to me, so I'm leaving it here to express the end of one era, and the start of a new.
Goodbye Blogger <3
This blog is going inactive from now on and will be eventually deleted. I have moved to a new and improved Blog on WordPress. Please join me there for more updated on my second life. I'll miss blogger but I feel restricted. Especially for a webdesigner.
I am opening a store soon too so watch out for that.
Follow my blog for updates on the upcoming Mesh Releases and Fashion Tips!
I have more control at WordPress.
Here are the links to my new stuff you can use these to contact me:
I never heard of Disney Bounding until this week when I came across the SL Disney Bounding Challenge through SL Blogger Support. This is a really good group for any Bloggers who need to find any events or challenges to keep things interesting for them, here is there link:
Here is the new profile photo I made by doing this challenge:
I really think I'm starting to get into this Digital Painting type stuff, it's so much fun. Even though I'm using second life images to create these more painted/graphicy type images. It still counts right?
Either way, it's inspiring me to do a lot more! I can't wait for next week's challenge!
Adam and Eve was established in 2005 and offers a wide selection of male and female skins. The owner of the store is sachi Vixen. I picked up Isabella Skin T2.
In the pack I received 6 different types of skins; Nude, Gloss, Blush, Peaches, Pink and Scarlet.
My favorite of the 6 was Scarlet. I also put on the freckles tattoo that came with the pack, it included many other tattoo layers: breast enhancer/dehancer, hair bases (black, brown, pale blonde and red),
bare inner eyelid, eyebrows and dimples (I was curious about these but I didn't like them, dimples normally show when someone is smiling and is defined by the lines created between the mouth and nose. However when I put this on it was just two dots on my face. Regardless, I still liked the skin.) There was also a glove to remove your nails but I use SLInk mesh hands so this wasn't important to me.
The only thing I'm wearing other than the normal skin is the freckle tattoo layer. These are raw shots, bare in mind I have windlight settings and I also adjusted the curves in Photoshop so you could see them better. Other than that, these are the images I took.
Here is my last image which is the skin of my choice with an outfit, bellow I will share the clothes I am wearing and where you can get them. Enjoy.
Skin Fair 2013 opened on Friday the 15th of March.
It is 2 full sims with over 80 stores. Luckily I got to visit during the blogger's preview. This was really exciting for me, it's the first time I ever got to go somewhere as a 'blogger'. I think this was one milestone toward the future of my blogging, which btw will be seeing some changes in the near future.
Right now I'm not going to post any image because following this post will be another 4 relating to Skin Fair. Each post will focus on a different item I got at Skin Fair.
Please visit skin fair, it is absolutely amazing.
Slan go foill mo chara! (Goodbye for now my friend.)
So recently college has become a little less hectic. I decided I wanted to put more time into Second Life and this blog, because it really means a lot to me. I was looking at the views the other day and noticed that people were still coming to look at the blog, even with no new posts. So today I decided to change that!
I'm going to try and post 2, 3 times a week now :) So please follow my blog and share with your friends, it would mean a lot to me <3
I came on SL and begun to work on a new photo. I went to FaMESHed to check out the new seasons clothes for this post. I wanted to make a new profile picture too and since I learnt so much in college about Photoshop I thought it was time to test out my new skills.
Here's the image:
Notice that the name on the image is Ailish. This is Irish for Alice :)
Olga Sweatshirt Dress - Polka Dot Grey
Soft Wool Jersey Leggings - Black Tucked
(Got both of these at FaMESHed, the tucked leggings fit perfectly. I'll use these in my next post so you can get a proper look at this outfit.)
So today, I'm having a lazy day. I'm exhausted from the week. I decided I wouldn't write much today. Just do my pictures and have a review on them. Enjoy :)
Tamara Shirt;
While I was being super lazy on my parcel. I decided to browse Marketplace. I came across a rather fantastic top. I adore it. It is the Tamara shirt by Enelya's Créations. It was only 99L! Yes, 99! Such a good price for a wonderful shirt. I was really happy I bought it. At first I was kind iffy about it but I figured, hey it's only 99L. There is a demo version but I'm rather impulsive like that. Something I need to fix.
When I was looking at it, I noticed this little thing kept appearing. It's my skin sticking through very slightly and rarely happened. I tried changing my boob size, even made them saggy. Which by the way, doesn't look good on the front seeing as though it shows cleavage. I didn't want to put on a bigger size because it fits me perfectly. I don't think it was a problem with the alpha though, possibly my ao being a pain as usual. But I love it. I get all my ao's at Vista Animations. I'm too lazy to make my own. Regardless, I put on some big hair that flows to the side and it's barely noticeable.
Over all, I really enjoy it. It looks hot. As one of my friends described it; 'You look like we had sex and you robbed my shirt'... bahaha. He wishes ;)
I would recommend it to anyone!
Bare Feet;
So... Women's Natural Barefeet by SLink are by far my favourite feet to wear in SL. I love them soooo much. At first I did have a problem trying to get the skin tone to match up but that's mainly because of my noobish ways on adjusting skin tones. I only had two type of feet before that we're prims. The reason why I love wearing them? Mainly because it gets rid of those hideous SL ankles and replaces them with natural ones. I mean look... those ankles are hawt!
I don't have any critics about these feet. Just basically follow the instructions and be careful with your windlight settings and that massive light that like to blind us when we are adjusting out appearance. They can brighten it too much and leave you fixing it to something totally off when you leave the editor.
Used this alpha layer by iLogic to have the lips open to show the teeth. I think it's something to do with SL now that it doesn't let that alpha on the teeth work or something like that. So nothing is wrong with the teeth. I used alpha layer 4, for those wondering.
I never really found a point in getting into Social Networks for my second life before I started this blog. It always seemed like a waste of time and maybe too much. Because I already have my real life ones, why would I have Second Life ones. Other than Flickr of course, but I used that to get feedback on the pictures I was taking.
Well anyway, today I've just been non stop on these sites. Blogging and social networking and photography seem to be taking up my SL bored times. Which is good because SL is there for my RL bored times. Hehe.
I want to thank Strawberry Singh for giving me a shout out on Plurk. It really boosted my social stuff for second life because I literally didn't know anyone! And it also made me really happy to see someone who's blog I've followed months now, literally hanging onto every fashion tip or photo tip. To be honest she is one of the big reasons I started blogging. So she really made my day. <3
My Social Networks;
Here is a list of my social networks if you would like to add me:
Also if you follow me, check out the awesome people I am following. I'm sure they would add you back if you add them too. Everyone is so nice.
Blogging:
I wanted to show ye guys the blog's I am following at the moment. Check them out and follow them. They are really awesome. Blogging has become my new SL love, like seriously. I think I found something I feel utterly happy to do everyday in my Second Life. Even with role-playing I need my break, but I just feel so happy doing this. I've been planning over a year now how I would start, etc. I'm finally there!
That's pretty much all in my feed reader. If you have a blog, send it to me! I'd love to follow it. I add to this reader almost everyday since I started using it. I used to just bookmark people and look up their sites.
(I got this tee at FaMESHed. I'm not sure if it is available in their store or market place yet but please check out FaMESHed anyway. There are a lot of different clothing and items there. It is updated once a month.)
