Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Home

Soooo proud to have been a part of this build..

Burn2 in a Few Hours

almost............... there :)

Burn2 - Burning Man in Second Life Coming October 20

It's been months since I made a blog post. RL takes over sometimes. Recently I was asked to be part of the building team at Burn2 for the Temple. Here are some shots of a work in progress. I am in charge of the interior.

The slow-spin lanterns have switchable lights, rolling fractal textures and the tassels move in the wind. The lantern will be available as a freebie in the swag tent. 

Cya on The Playa!

Still Not Enmeshed in Mesh - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good


I just cannot get on this mesh bandwagon with any measure of enthusiasm. Sure, it makes great pictures, and has great textures. I LOVE several of the mesh boots that I own, the textures are gorgeous! The fashion bloggers have got an addiction for it. Lately it seems one might as well show up in prim heels with bling as to wear no mesh to any event with a crowd of SL literate avatars. This is the BEST mesh dress I have tried on with an avatar that is not a wiry coat hanger. It's the 50 Linden Friday offer from Tee*Fly. I'm wearing a size medium.

Yes it does appear to flow over my body :)

The Bad


I've had to drastically alter my body. I have become almost anorexic looking. Strawberry Singh has started another "post your digits" discussion on her blog. She says, "I am just looking to get into a discussion about mesh and how it has affected our behavior towards our avatar’s shape."

Need to eat!

I'm going to try some of Strawberry's body sliders, as mine are far more on the skinny side in order to fit into this mesh dress. The few other mesh clothes I own, still do not work with this body, I have to get as thin as possible in some areas, even to wear a medium. I am still very attached to my Phoenix viewer which does not allow more than 1 alpha layer. On the Phoenix "issues" wiki, this is a low priority item. Wearing the alpha mask has issues in itself, if you peek over into a top wearing an alpha top, you're the invisible woman.

Well, here are my digits in this outfit:

height - 60

body thickness - 6

Body fat - 7

Torso muscle - 44

Shoulders - 50

Breast - 53

Love handles - 25

Belly - 0

Leg muscles - 35

Hips - 52

Butt size - 37

Saddle bags - 22

My previous digits are posted here.

The Ugly

In the pictures below, there are still gaps when movement occurs. Sigh.... still scary to wear out dancing.

Gasps, " Gaps!"

Hopefully, fixes for my issues will occur in the near future and I will be a happy shopper once again.

SL9B Party is in Full Swing (and Lag)

:( I have not been able to participate. Currently I'm on RL vacation and with limited access time, (I am on vacation) I can tether my laptop via my phone, but not for long at the SL9B. Hopefully traffic will die down and I can be a Greeter later this week. Like at Walmart, Greeters can offer you a cart, just ask, and you can receive this teleporter board and/or a similar hud. The board can help you choose what sims are not jammed, to get a less crowded landing point. Happy partying, the birthday cake is 4 sims big!

SL9B Coming Soon

I volunteered as a Greeter to the event this year, and got to get a sneak preview to explore and learn my way around. There are quite a few really awesome exhibits, although I am sorry to say that Burn2 is not there. We will be having a party on the Playa, too. Here are some pics.

I was very impressed with Ginger Lorakeet's exhibit of Immersive Photos, they will make some great backgrounds for fashion.

Because my blog is syndicated, here are some fashion links:
hair: Diva at Collabor8
dress:  freebie at Shiki Designs
flip flops: Maitreya Gold - Eclipse


Cya all next week at SL9B!!! I'll be wearing a big birthday cake hat :)
