10252009 satisfaction

Yesterday, I don’t believe I have ever been more satisfied with the way an outfit turned out than what I wore to the Ho Down.  However, it occured to me a long time ago in my life that when you are satisfied it means you need to try harder.  Certain things I’ve put on here multiple times.  Obviously some of my more favorite things to wear, so I thought it was time to go in a new direction.  Something different.  I started digging around and the first thing I came up wtih was a skin store that I wasn’t even familiar with.  I had never been there and had heard nothing about them.  The name was MAI and while I haven’t been there before I do plan on going back soon.  I tried on a few demos and started to really like what I saw especially with the face definition.  The spark fired and I found a new base to work around.  From there I took off to Connors and picked up one of the new dress shirts that had just been released and then over to WMD where some of their Quantum Jeans had cought my eye.  A pair of shoes I had gotten a while back had come to mind and I really like them I just hadn’t had an excuse to wear them lately.  They are from 2g which is slowly becoming one of my favorite shoe stores in sl.  Finishing it off I added a Ying Yang necklace from sinistyle , some primoptic glasses, of course the Mandala ear rings and more Uncleweb Studio hair.  Once again I’m satisfied, however I can now wait at least another day to challenge myself again

Once again thanks to our friends over at Prefabulous from the previous blog.  After using their barn last week I moved to another location they also built.  The shot above, on the water, was taken at their brand new dock that’s up for sale now along with a few other prefab buildings.  Make sure you check them out

10242009 hooray for ho downs

Tonight I had the pleasure to attend a joint rez day party for Alicia Falworth and Woodrow Stapleton.  The theme was Ho Down and I had a wonderful time.  I have to admit I’m not very country or western so it took me and Cari most of the day to find just the right thing to wear.  Props to her for showing me both the Hat from Surf Couture and the Shirt I had forgot about from Aoharu.  Both of them were excellent.

10232009 friday night

So tonight i get in and Cari wants to tp me over to a party at .1MAGE.  I try to not want to look out of place so I ask her what to wear and she tells me formal casual so I start the dig through my inventory and find a few things I’ve been wearing a lot lately including the LdeV Firenze shoes and the Mandala face/ear jewelry.  The jewelry I’ve been leaving on a lot lately.  I pair those with two items from one of my favorite stores in all of SL right now Schadenfreude.  I top that off with some slacks from Aitui and a tie from SF Designs.

10212009 waiting

So for a while now I haven’t really done much in sl except get my shapes up and for sale as well as spend time with Cari.  <3 you baby XD.  So today, I get some opportunities.  I’m asked to participate in Diversity Models 1st anniversary show which will be on the 31st of October.  Second, I’m asked to model for an upcoming taping of  Fabulous Fashion with Angie Mornington.  Third I’ve had an offer to exibit some of my pics inside sl.  As far as the last one goes I’ll give you more information as it becomes available to me.  So today I felt good and it felt like a tartan day.  I remembered seeing some tartan jeans from “My Daily Style” blog and so I went there to pick them up.  They’re really nice and come in two different colors, beige and black.  I prefer the shading and texture to the beige however the beige doesn’t come in anything but a very lowcut version so beware to have a shirt ready.

10192009 a little rock n rolla

Looking around for something interesting to wear today I found a post over at Maddesigns about some jeans at Zoobong so I went over to check them out… These jeans are cut low… very low.  I tried various shirts with no real luck when it dawned on me about a shirt I had picked up from Valiant a few weeks ago and how low the belt was on it.  Trying it on it fit perfect and I was completely happy.  Tossed in a few odds and ends from my inventory and added the new release from Signature Skin Labs called John Paine and everything sort of came into focus.  I’m pretty harsh and critical on a lot of skins which is why I don’t change mine THAT much.  I do really like the face on the John Paine and the body looks very well done.  The pictures are taken in Caliah settings with the ultra graphics option please make sure to demo with your own graphic options before you buy.  Also these shapes don’t have a bald cap with brows included so you’re kind of on your own there.  Personally, I think the skin is overall pretty good and I do plan on doing a custom shape for it in the near future.

10182009 DMC->Deserted and vintage

So as some of you read yesterday, we were gathering up freebies to help out a friend and I knew there were some over at The Block, so I start looking around for them and I find where DMC used to be there’s Deserted.  After some inspection it’s still the same place but with a new name and new clothes.  It had been a while since I’ve been to DMC so maybe I was out of the know on the name change.  I’m not sure how long it’s been changed lol but, I loved DMC and the best qualities from those clothes are still here with an update towards sculpties.  Dragontat has done an excellent job on both the store and the contents within.  Bravo to you and all the guys from the Block nice work.
I picked up two jeans and a t-shirt and today I finished off the outfit with the jacket that everyone has been blogging from grasp and shoes from Kalnins which is just down the street in the Fusion Crossing sim from the Silhouette Main store where you can find my Homme Fait shape line.

This is a makeup post to yesterday because I completely lost track of time at the Studio Red Sin party, http://slurl.com/secondlife/KMADD%20Events/159/179/21 . It was a great time all day long and it was a gorgeous build with plenty of photo opportunities which lag made me miss. In any event, the build will be up all day today so hurry out and take some pics you won’t be disappointed.
We took a break and helped out an old friend of Cari’s makeover her fiance she was bringing into sl. I’m pretty overwhelmed by the quality of freebies these days and it gave me a chance to revisit a few of those places which I’ll blog about at a later date.
We ran over to the lotus room , http://slurl.com/secondlife/Castlederg/88/20/3001 . It’s a great little place ran by a good friend of mine, RileyJane Carver. Cari hopped on the stream and played some music and I took some pics. We finished up there at about 5am my time but it was still a great day.
This is what I wore to the event the second time we went lol, I felt a little out of place without dressing up because after all, it was a Halloween party. So I decided to vamp it up a little. I had to run grab a top hat from Arcavim, and I have to admit I did have problems finding the temporary main store but after flying around a bit and paying attention to the coords I was given I did manage to spot the airship. The coat and pants I had from Muism. While I love the coat, and often pair it with different things this is the first time I have worn the pants but they matched up very nicely with the seam of the shirt and undershirt layers from Arcavim which allowed me to actually wear all of this at the same time . Happy Halloween to everyone I’m sure I’ll do another “costume” post before Halloween rolls around.

“In my clutches” muahahahahahahaha

Shape Release: Lee

For those of you that missed it at the Skin/Shape Expo, Lee has finally been released in the mainstore. Thanks for all the positive feedback and if you have any questions please drop me a notecard in second life.

50L Friday and checks

So I log on today and Cari tells me that Fishy Strawberry has those fantastic unisexy Equinox jeans on 50L Friday so it’s a no brainer to pick up.  Honestly, I do really like these jeans and there are other colors besides the Siena at only 130L each, which makes it well worth the price even not on 50L Friday.  I toyed around with a few shirt options and nothing screamed “me”.  After polishing off dinner and logging back in, I remembered some shirt’s at Truth’s that I had my eye on for a while and thought they might work.  After dropping by there and picking up exactly what I wanted I grabbed a few accessories from my inventory and was finally satisfied XD.

10.15.2009 2nd try

So today felt like a good day and I wanted to try something different.  So I started out with some checkered pants and tried a few things and nothing seemed to click.  Cari was wearing this super hot jacket and it reminded me of one of my favorite jackets ever from Menlosophy so I started over and built from there.  When I checked a few places for Menlosophy I couldn’t find the jacket again sorry
