My low-scripted outfit

Walking around @ The HUB

Hey guys! Today I want to talk about something that baffles me when it’s time for shopping events. Whenever event organizers place a limit on the number of scripts that visitors can have while on the sim, there is always a big uproar. “Why do I have to shop naked at the event?” “I guess they don’t need any sales…I’ve been trying to get in for hours!” I have personally seen people strip down to nothing but the hair (that has over 100+ scripts), and not know what is wrong. I try not to have on more than 50 scripts at any given time. It helps me have a better grid experience (and helps the grid as well). Someone once asked me how was that even possible (because everyone knows how much I love jewelry). So, let’s see if I can help you guys dress for success (so to speak).

See the outfit that I have in the photo? Only 9 scripts.

I know you are saying, “WHAAAAT! But you have on jewelry and hair and stuff…” – yes I do.  My shoes (which aren’t shown in the photo) have 2 scripts each, my AO has 2 scripts, and I assume my mesh hair has 3 scripts.» View author and full post…

GOL the 9th

Hello lovelies! I was lucky enough to get early access to GOL, the 9th (newest of the GOL club series) and super excited to be able to wander around the club and see the details of the new, sexy build by Dakota Neumann. It officially opens to the public tomorrow (May 24) at 10am SLT, so be sure to go check it out!

Until then, you can see some of the pics I made there tonight. And find the rest of the pics in my GOL set on Flickr.

Summer Time!

It’s nearly summer! Time to go to a beach in order to sunbathe, relax, or simply have a walk. The long Jilly dress I’m wearing is a perfect beach outfit! It can be found at Acid Lily as a group gift!
 
I matched my lovely summer dress with a pair of free sandals I got from Cynful! Cynful celebrated their anniverary a few days ago and has many gifts available to all us from some of our favorite designers. Shoes, dresses, jewls and a skin are some of the gifts you’ll find once you teleport there!
 

Today I’m wearing another Truth hair called Brandy! It’s no secret that I love braids! I simply couldn’t resist this hairstyle! I had to have it! :) And I think it looks awesome with this dress!

Finally, let me show you my new skin which is the May group gift by 7 Deadly S{k}ins! This new and very promising store has completely blew me away with their skins and of course with their gifts, hunts and special offers! If you haven’t visited the mainstore yet, you should definately do it as you’ll find many nice skins there! Also make sure to check the group notices to be informed about all the latest hunts and offers!

GOL the 9th – Grand Opening

GOL the 9th Club - opens May 24th at 10 am SLT

Hey guys – I’m back! After a well-deserved break (real life kinda forced me to), I’m up and running again. I thought this would be a nice treat for you all…after all, we need somewhere to go after we’ve shopped for all of the things, right?

I was fortunate enough to be given early access to the new GOL build, so that I may blog about it and share it with you all. Here is some information on the big day:

“The famed GOL club series will christen its newest member, the 9th on Friday, May 24, 2013. Dakota Neumann, the creator and founder of GOL is proud to share his latest creation with the world. Since June of 2006, GOL has been the long established KING of the house music scene in Second Life. “

The photo above shows the exterior of the club – looks pretty cool, huh? I decided to get a bit artsy with the photo…hope you enjoy :)

aara2_006The first thing that caught my attention as I walked inside the club was the photos on the walls – seductive, but not over-the top. There is a good distance from the landing point to the dance floor – hopefully that will help with lag and rezzing as people come arrive.» View author and full post…

At the Mailbox

At the end of a long but good day, I stopped to take a rest in the sleeping city. Supporting me as I really am exhausted is a mailbox from JD Creations (look for the Tribute City area on Sim 6) at the Home and Garden Expo 2013.

Beautifully made and textured, it acts as a real mailbox for notecards. Happily the floating text doesn’t translate into photos, so it can take on a double duty role. It weighs in at 16 land impact which personally I would like to see lower, but if you have the prims and the locale it is a really lovely addition to a town or cityscape.

You can see a full screen shot of this photo on my Flickr here.

My tank is a real winner from Ducknipple. Tons of solid colors to choose from, it fits me perfectly. A tiny bit of accent trim on the straps add some interest. It is simply called The Tank and that works for me.

Boots from lassitude & ennui.

Peace

There’s a place that I know where the sycamores grow
And daffodils have their fun
Where the cares of the day seems to slowly fade away
And the glow of the evening sun
Peace when the day is done

If I go there real late, let my mind meditate on everything to be done
If I search deep inside, let my conscience be my guide
Then the answers are sure to come
Don’t have to worry none

When you find a piece of mind
Leave you worries behind
Don’t say that it can’t be done
With a new point of view
Life’s true meaning comes to you
And the freedom you seek is one
Peace is for everyone
Peace is for everyone
Peace is for everyone

“Peace” by Nora Jones

Walking the Woods and Flickr

It may be getting close to summer where you live, but it is cold, wet and blustery outside my corporeal door; a good time to bundle up just a bit and take a stroll in some lovely and virtual woods.

If you are a Flickr fan, you know that they have redesigned their layout and added a ton of space. This means no more “Pro” of old and no more “200 photos”. Read all the important details here.

Now I have never been a big Flickr user. I upload favorites from time to time and sometimes upload a photo from the blog to Flickr when a merchant asks me to. My photos are never huge in size or in megabytes. But today after getting all my ducks in a row at the Home and Garden Expo» View author and full post… (more on that Thursday) I zipped over for a lovely walk in the woods.

I took a giant (for me) photo which was going to take forever for anyone to see. And my computer (now over 2 years old) was not terribly happy with the process either. I resized to 3000 pixels and did some jpg compression and got it down to 3 megs.
