Run girl run! This world is not made for you!

Heya!

Time for more elfy stuff, wearable by humans and other kinds, too! Soedara released an awesome meshoutfit called Clan Maiden. It comes in a bunch of colours and you can wear it in many, many variations, so it is pretty damned perfect for mixing and matching. In my outfit, I feature the mainpart, which basically works like a small leatherdress of sorts.

LeLutka released new hair, a cute bob-style among them, but the other two did disappoint me a little. Imho they cannot keep up with the usually impeccable creativity Thora offers us: The updo has two strands hanging on the side of the face which looks good from the front, but looks utterly disconnected from the rest of the hair from the side. I am not sure why she did not add a couple of more strands there to cover up that odd gap, but oh well, maybe just not my taste.  The other hair is kinda okay, I got it even, until I figured it looks rather bland to be very honest.

However, complaining about LeLutka is complaining on a  VERY high level, so I am relatively sure not everybody will agree and the majority will storm there and buy everything anyways. I mean, I have pretty much her store in my inventory by now. ;D

In unknown lands the elf met a stranger…

Heya peeps,

so, after a bit of a blow up because a friend of mine didn’t want to tell some random impolite chick what her skin was, I will state this:

NO, it is NOT mean, bitchy, princessy and arrogant not to state where your skin and layers are from. Secondlife only offers a few things to truly customize your avatar. Creating a UNIQUE looking character for role-play that doesn’t run around with your generic XY skin requires quite a bit of Lindens and time and matching ‘skills’. So, if someone doesn’t want to tell every layer, how about you just accept it and move on to start to create your own ideas?

It has NOTHING to do with being a princess or wanting to be special, but it has everything to do with wanting to maintain unique features that fit the character you picture in your mind. It is another reason why most people who value a bit of a unique look do not go for mesh-heads…an army of clones really is a bit boring.

Going so far to spend your online time on finding out what skin person XY is wearing and how she combines her layers, to then spill it to the public in your profile, alongside with some incredibly idiotic rant only paints you as an uncreative mean chick who cannot for the sake of her own reputation accept a ‘no’ and create an avi herself.

/rant off. It’s so fun to rant at times.

Oh and by the way…mysterious woman, you got it wrong. It isn’t Pussy by The Bodyshop, as you have certainly realized by now. Since you apparently told her you are a blogger, from what I have been told, shouldn’t you have recognized it? ;D

Here is my current outfit! I got wrapped up in some funky rp while shooting this by a guy with a funny hat!

There’s not a soul to hear – Fantasy Faire Part V

Heya peeps!

Today something for the guys. The following pictures have been taken at Kaelus, a gorean role-play sim. ELves are NOT allowed. I got special permission to take a blogpicture, but usually, that is a big NO NO.

Hair: Wasabi Pills (MissAllSunday Lemon, NEW!!, Mesh!! @ Fantasy Faire –> Magnificat Sim)
Skin: The Body Co (TheBodyCo Resident)
Shape: selfmade

Tunic: FATEWear (Damien Fate, NEW!! Mesh!! @ Fantasy Faire, Titans Hollow Sim)

The FATEWeaR Outfit comes in two versions: WIth or without a cloak, an din the usual 5 standardsizes. However, it comes as a whole outfit, all in one piece: BOots, gauntlets, tunic, pants. The outfit is AWESOME, but I like to mix and match, and so I cheated:

I selected the item IN my inventory, clicked on edit, then selected the face on my outfit I wanted to texture and dragged an alphalayer on it. This way, I am hiding my pants, boots, cloak and gauntlets. ^^

Pants: The Forge (Deccan Arida, Mesh!! Part of Brandon Outfit)
Boots: Lightstar (Krystal Silverweb)
Armor: The Forge (Deccan Arida, Mesh!! Part of Brandon Outfit)

Ecstasy of Gold

Hey peeps,

I know, I know. I have been slow lately. Several reasons there, and those aren’t excuses: I haven’t felt terribly inspired lately, since a few of my favourite designers have been very inactive the past month. Also, I am currently studying a lot since on march 4th I’ll have the second part of my master’s degree and hopefully become a full teacher finally, after 1,5 years of an extremely stressfull internship. So bear with me please, I really do feel stupid that I feel so lazy lately.

SO, I am glad Curio is finally back, even if I daresay that the compromise they amde stinks. Pity, but at least they are back. So right now I am waiting for new skins from Curio and The Body Co.

Talk about the Body Co: I abandoned my Orchid skin. Why? For several reasons:

1. For once, Body Co stated they will not create Tango appliers for their skins. Their decision, but a big let down for me.
2. I got tired of their prices. I am sorry, but 500 Lindens for a watermarked (!) Make UP, that you can only use with that ONE specific skin and not even any of their other skins, is just ridiculous. Doesn’t matter how many layers it comes with, since I don’t want a make up in a billion of skintones but rather one I can use for mixing and matching.
3. During their Sale, the Orchid skin was 750L while all others were 500L, due to the package being slightly different (three types of brows). The other skins come with one type of brow, which imho, isn’t exactly a nice deal for a single skin. Time moves on, skins nowadays come with several brow layers, hairbaes, freckles, sometimes different make up layers or even nose-addons and so many other things. I think they do not offer a whole lot for the money you pay, at least not outside of the Sale.

I still love their skins, but that still put me off.

So now, I wear a new combination of skin + skinlayers. I really do like it a lot. Thoughts on it? And…there are even Tango-appliers for this one.

As for the new outfit: I tried to put together a layered outfit with pretty much mesh-only items.

Autumn hits the grid and I love it! :)

Hello peeps,

I finally got my new comp and of course now I tooka pic of my current favourite outfit. Autumn hit Germany, so I decided to go with very autumnliek colours as well. I love them! I also decided to not go with the newest of the newest items possible, but also mix some of my alltime favourites to create a very…scoundrel-like outfit. I just love any kinds of adventuring elves.

Also, you might notice that I managed to get rid of that slightly yellowish tint of the Body Co skin. How? Arriah Fiertze from Medley released a SKIN DETONER which works just fantastically. I LOVE it. It makes so many skins (like old ones from Pink Fuel, Laqroki, the new Vive9 skin etc.) look so much better without that sickly yellow tint. Many, many thanks to you, Arriah.

Also, stay tuned for the new LAQROKI skinline,s they are about to be released. I saw some previews and they are…MWAH!
