Post #80 Entertain!

I kinda look like a busted up dancer.  Was visiting Tableau, one of my fave places for pix, and i stumbled into a tent with a stage and the words "entertain" in white over the floor.  I couldn't find the spot or ball to click to literally entertain myself, so I just stood around all stage frightey.

I like the store Crazy.  I bought these boots there for 200L, now they aren't mesh but when it comes to shoes, that never really bothers me.  Hair makes a big diff, so do tops and everything else really.  Shoes, nails, jewellery.. I can't tell if it's mesh or prim.  Love the boots though.  Finally found something to go with my black leather Leverocci shorts.

Booya!

Post #76 Serenity Now

Well, Elikatira aka [e] hair is having a major sale.  I picked up color packs for 75L and caught up on some styles I've missed.  This was one of them.  Gorgeous style with a lovely flower to wear on the side of your head... bringing out your inner natural beauty for sure.   The Kosh necklace will harness the energy and ... man I'm too tired to be making up crystal fan fiction..

This flowy and nicely patterned mesh dress is on the lucky boards at a cute little store called Chocolat.  It fit quite well and prompted me to immediately buy the new Beth Wedge Bootie release from G.Field.  I'm talking about putting on the dress, getting an announcement about the shoes two minutes later and buying them in record time.  Loved how they went together.  Oh, and the shoes have a hud to change lace colors etc.

Cheesecake photo!  ... haha...

Post #66 Pretty Blue Pockets

I was feeling pretty mellow.  I should have actually named this blog 'pretty damn ordinary' because I have no sense of high fashion in second life.  Well, I suppose I could but when i go places I don't feel like I'm doing anything high fashiony, so why bother.  I don't roleplay or talk to people haha.  I just go from sale to sale and check out new or favorite stores in between.  So I dress pretty casual.

I knew Fab Pony was closing and they had a nice pair of jeans they had given out a long time ago, so I went there and picked up a darker pair for 30L.  Everything in the store is 30L.  There is no mesh and it's all kinda outdated, but the jeans were cool.  I kinda don't like prims anymore, but there aren't enough mesh jeans around (that I know of) so I still wear them, but you can so see where the prim and the system pants meet!

Top and boots from Ronsem.  I love that store.  I love that the boots have a leopard pattern as an option haha!  The shirt would be pretty plain but the pockets make it all worth it.  All the shirts in this series are super cute and the mesh fits pretty good.

Boring.

Post #63 Good Girl/Bad Girl

Yay!  Check out my athletic abilities!  I'm jumping for joynessity.

The week flies by so fast I totally forgot it was Fifty Linden Friday.   Wait, I mean I forgot it was FLF at midnight!   Back in the day I used to wait and wait for an hour getting excited for the clock to strike.  Half the people were never out anyway, but it took up a couple of hours of my time waiting and TP'ing from place to place on the list.  Wow, never realized what a loser I was (and still am apparently) to stay home Friday nights to shop online for an avatar haha!

The winner of FLF this week is definitely Teef*y!  Love these new tanks... I teleported into the store and saw a display for the two on sale and another display for a bunch of other colors.  I thought they would be super short, like a cutoff top.  I saw an invisible person standing there, with nothing but prim shorts and a prim wife beater in white, I was going to send her a message asking where she got the tank from, then I realized, holy crap it's the designer herself, and she's wearing this weeks prize, lol.  She had not set the price yet because I clicked on it.  She also got rid of the tops on display that weren't part of the sale.  I musta given her the weirdlies standing right next to her, waiting.  It was kinda funny.  I did shout "these tanks are radical!" right as she got booted.  She must think I'm mentally ill.  Well I am sorta.  Just wanted to give her a shoutout for making a really nice top!

So of course I had to run to FaMESHed to get the shorts, I had seen them already but couldn't make up my mind on colors.  The purchase of these tanks made it a lot easier for me thank goodness.  I got a darker pair of shorts than I wanted, but I remember that I have light shorts from Collabor88 a few cycles ago that had tights, so yeah, I got the darker ones.

Bitch Please....

I like this whole good girl/bad girl look.  Although my good girl has tats, my bad girl smokes, in front of churches no doubt!  So yes, I can definitely tell which is which.

Happy with my new purchases...

Post #49 I'm Outta Smokes

Going through my old 'premade' outfits again, and sometimes updating older things that just look ridiculously tacky, I came across this one which I figured I could salvage.  I always gave my outfits the weirdest names, this one was called "I'm outta smokes".  What on earth possessed me to name it that?  I guess I must have been outta smokes at the time.  Nonetheless, i still think the style holds up, although I did add some new shorts to it from Jane, and my fave flats by Roly-Poly.  I didn't realize the hair was not for sale till I went around getting links for stores, otherwise I would have thrown on something still available.  

I still really like this backpack from COCO.  It is one of the best fitting prim bags for the back I've ever owned, and it's cheap like borsht.  Kind of gives me a scholarly look.  Would go really well with some nerdlinger glasses.  I went to Peppermint Blue to see if they still had the yellow bikini top I was wearing but they are a cafe now, not a cornucopia of freebie stuff, haha.  I stopped to take some pix though.  Loved the build.

Just walking around the building.  I can see why the Jane shorts are on sale.  They are not standard sizing and I could probably fit a small dog down the front of my pants!

Wonder what's in the backpack...

Post #47 Alley Cat

I remember when I used to wear Analog Dog hair back in the day.  I glowed like a lightbulb.  I had not gone to that store in ages, till I saw someone wearing their new brand - '.b', or Point B as I like to call it.  It's got the curls I so loved with AD, but without the full bright, the overly flowy flying hair strands, and they kinda look sometimes (to me) a bit like dreadlocks.  When I go curly I wear my Mynerva skin.  It's so cute.

Really nice "poly" mesh jackets at Ducknipple.  I picked up a fatpack with 6 colors for 249L.  If you buy the jackets individually they are 99L, so, that's kind of obvious what you are gonna do there.  LoL.

These are some older jeans and boots I bought a long time ago.  I think I had to get rid of the invisaprims from the boots.  It's really simple if you can modify the shoe/boot.  If the invisprim is built into the boot and you don't feel like unlinking everything and deleting the prims, you can always isolate the invisiprim and resize it to just a tiny little thing then hide it back in the shoe/boot.  Then you just find an alpha from another shoe/boot that matches the height and zing!  You got yourself shoes or boots that don't look weird in certain textures anymore.  I have saved so many pairs of favorite boots and shoes with this trick.

I really love the Ducknipple sim.  Lots of alleyways, and pretty sceneries to take pix!

Post #46 Sunshine Recorder

I was going to blog this outfit with a pair of Aleida pants I bought a long time ago.  I zoomed on over there to see if they still had them and noticed the had a big closing out sale going on, and my old pants where gone.  So I thought what the heck, and bought me a few pairs of mesh dress pants for super cheap!

Hey they matched my hair!  I got pink shoes (also at the close out sale) and teleported to Tram.  I love their build it's absolutely gorgeous and I like to take pictures there.

I do like this tube top/jacket set from Cold Logic, but I don't wear it so often.  I bought the fatpack, but I kinda regret it now, as I think the other fatpack set colors are nicer.  And it's kind of over dressy for me.  I think in the future I can see myself wearing the jacket with different tops and the tubetop by itself or with a different jacket.  Just to mix it up.  The skin I got at Collabor88  is awesome of course, and the pink eyeshadow matched the outfit really well.

Post #44 Swanky Shorts

I felt like making some crazy daring outfit to go with my new mesh shorts.  Because really I couldn't find anything that really went with them.  Being leather, I knew I had to look pretty glam and stuff, which is not a look I really wear.  I don't know if this is glammy or not.  LoL.  But I had fun smooshing clothes old and new together.

 I bought this gold bikini/glove/leggings set at The Sea Hole a while ago when they had a half off sale.  I actually thought it went pretty good with the shorts.  I like the two colors together.  Like earthy with some water thrown in.  The skin was really nice, you can get it at Collabor88 in three different makeups.  Glam Affair = glam look...amirite?

Great rings at The Dressing Room Blue.  Had a lot of fun changing the colors on them.  Good waste of 10  minutes.  The necklace I'm excited about as I lurve Kosh to death.

Oh So Glamoritey...(is that a word)

Post #39 An Oldie but a Goodie

Back in the day I really liked the flowy look.  Still do, really, but I can't find as many curly hairs that look good.  I used to own quite a few Analog Dog hairs, but I quit using them when I would walk into a room and notice my head was glowing profusely.  So I boxed those babies up and started wearing straighter styles, maybe with a bit of a wave.  

I was really happy when .B or "PointB", a new line by Analog Dog appeared.  She seemed to have updated her styles without the glow and the hair styles looked a lot more natural.  I replaced my "madison" with this one called "Sine".   It looks a bit dreadlockish to me.  But it's pretty cool.

I also threw on one of my first Dutch Touch skins.  I used to go crazy for that store.  I bought many a fatpack and it was my "look" forever.  I hope Iki keeps making more skins for a long time.  They are still very lovely and a pox on the house of people who use parts of her skin for their frankencreations.

Don't wear tats that often but love these sleeves from Letis.  They do pretty good work there.  It's one of my favorite stores.  So is Kosh, where I got the necklace from.  Earthy and natural.  I'm not too big on pearls and diamonds.  

The top from Oyakin (I own many of these) kind of rounds out the look, the shorts are pretty sweet too and I still wear them (until I can get mesh 3/4 length long cutoffs I suppose).  The leggings underneath I bought at Cupcakes are so nice and really look like wool, I went there tonight to see if they still sold them.  That store has changed.  If it's even the same store lol.  I can't tell anymore when builds change and stock is completely different.  I used to shop there a lot in my early days.  Sometimes I wish stores would still offer up their old items (the non tacky ones like these leggings) on the marketplace.  I won't be deleting them any time soon.

Post #31 Come Buy My Peppers...Or Die!

Was hanging out at the Cupcake Sim, sifting through the little thrift shop tables and stores and couldn't resist taking a picture while pretending I have a new job.  Loving my new mesh hair from Wasabi Pills (totally allergic to wasabi and would need  Benadryl pills if i ever ate that crazy stuff), I felt like a real saleslady with the kerchief keeping my hair from falling into the foodstuff.

I got a coffee stain on my pants, no I didn't spill it, some guy threw his Starbucks at me when I told him he was shilling for the corporate MAN.  I gave him a dirty look and threatened him with a giant baguette.  He ran as fast as he could.  He was obviously gluten intolerant.

My shape lost a bit of fullness as I had to fit into the blue pair of Mischa shoes from the fatpack I bought yesterday from Lelutka.  The straps just didn't fit properly around my cankles and I didn't want to size up the feet to fit because I'd look like I had clown feet.  Now just cuz I'm not as wide and burly as before doesn't mean I can't run a food stand in a sim that doesn't belong to me!

Post #11 Color Manifesto!

I kinda wish I remembered what I did here because I can't duplicate it again.  I mean the whole black background.  You know I could take my pictures and photoshop them and stuff.  But all I know really is the 'filter' effects part and everything is way too extreme, like who wants to see me all penciled up, or I could write stuff in cool fonts! OR, I could use the paintbrush tool and make all kinds of cool backgroundy stuff.  I don't know if that's just overdoing it or tasteful, or maybe I'm just too lazy.  Usually takes me a couple of Ambien to get that creative, and then by the time photoshop loads I'm sleeping on the couch.

This is mad photoshop skills.  There was a floor there.  I carefully magnetic lasso'd my body then didn't know what the heck to do with that, so I undid it, and then took the cloning tool and cloned blue background all around my lower legs and feet.  Then smeared the hell out of it all and voila!  A cheap pose on a blue background that was actually the background, and not something i could have actually made nicer by removing myself from the photo and giving the picture a cool backdrop, like a cool club... filled with cool people... amirite???!!!

Is this world void of color?  Why does everyone fucking look the same?  What kind of places do I hang out at?  Can't I just youtube that Enrique Iglesias song I heard on the radio back in 2010 and can't get out of my head, rather than go to a club hoping to 'maybe' but 'most likely' hear it there?  No one talks to me in clubs.  Probably because I have weird stuff written in my profile and i dress like a demented bird.  I do talk to people in stores and the other day a guy was standing in the water outside my house and started talking to me.  I wish people would wear more color, or I would find a place full of people who wore color and weren't just hanging out shopping.

I'm gonna do some old school photoshop background colorful awesomeness!

BOOYA!

Post #10 Wanna Ride the Scooter!

Checked out the big sale at Medley today and picked up some nice lipsticks and face piercings, as well as a pretty cute "braces for my teeth" sculpt.  I'll wear it sometime when I look like a little brat!  While I was outside checking out the other two stores (Burley had a setup and I love that hair store!), I found this awesome blue scooter.

 So I clicked on it and it wouldn't let me on!  I didn't have permission.  The pie menu said 'ride' and everything but nope, the sucker didn't want me on it.  So instead I had to bloody stand next to it and pretend it was mine.  I should really just go find one somewhere and take it with me where ever I go and pose on it.  Kind of like those gnome around the world commercials by travelocity.  Me on a scooter in Paris, in India, on a snow capped mountain.  UNDERWATER IN A MERMAID SUIT!!!

So this outfit I was wearing I made the other day.  I had a different skin but the eyebrows looked freaky, so I threw on my old standby "Little Becky" by Mynerva.  It was a free gift, and seriously, the boobs are kid boobs, and I don't often run around nude, but it's the most sweetest skin ever!  I feel so innocent in it lol.

Love the boots too.  I went to the store "Crazy" one day and I remember buying some black top from there a couple of years ago.  I loved the stuff in there and picked up like 4 or 5 tops, a couple of pairs of pants, and many pairs of shoes.  They have pretty original and cute shoes and boots.  Looked really great with my Miel jewellery, I love that place too!

Ridin' on mah imaginary scooter...

Post #6 Sunny with Shadows

I decided I wanted to try shadows.  The last time I tried shadows my eyes looked like that of satan,  orange glowing orbs.  I was sad.  But that was a long time ago though and I decided to try it again on my Phoenix, but lo and behold, jaggedy edges got to me.   So I FINALLY broke down and installed Firestorm!  I had read they had a new skin that resembled Viewer 1.  I am kind of a sucky baby and do like Viewer 1 stuff.  I haven't really ever gotten into using keys for shortcuts so I tend to just the arrow keys to move around like a total noob.  I don't like having to search and relearn and have to press more buttons to find things when it's all at my hand right now.  If I just used shortcuts this would have been an easier transition.

Anyways!  I hopped on, adjusted some settings and this is what I got.  I was wearing a nice sunshiney outfit and thought I would whip out some butterflies to make it look like I was quite serene and a little reflective.  Love the shadows by the way!  My face seems a little blurry, even though I baked the hell out of myself several times.

My face did look a bit different than normal.  I usually use a modified preset named "Nams Optimal Skin".  It washes everything out but I don't see the nasty lines where the prims meet the worn peices of clothing.  On this one though I needed to play around with the sky so that I could get some nice shadows going.  It was kind of confusing because they have a totally different setup.

My nose also seemed a little dirty, but maybe it was a rogue shadow.  Overall I really like it and I think I will whip out the ol' Firestorm (I couldn't remember what it was called, Firefox? Phoenixstorm?) to take future pictures when I feel 'outdoorsy'
