the red racer




Ah, a studio picture? Yeap, unfortunately many sims I've been to have no shadows enabled on their props. And instead of trying to create something I admit I'm not that good at - LOL - I'd rather go back to studio and take this picture in there.

Reading this blogs comments, I've saw this one: "But how can I get this outfit?".

So, before anything else, let me help those who don't understand the meaning of a styling card - it's usually like this: on SL I noticed we tend to start from the head down to the feet, ending sometimes with the pose you're in. Then the props/items are described as  <body part> + <shop name> + <item name usually goes with the colour/id numer or whatever to identify it>. Then if I want to own such item, what should I do? Go to SL search (inworld) and put the name of the shop, in the shop you'll have to look for them, can ask the info to the manager or anyone who's working there (it might help reading the owners profile, they usually describe who's there to give you a help).

Last saturday we had a burlesque show by Models in Motion/Opium Evolution, and I had an act in there with Veracity Afterthought. I guess I never saw such a thing in world. And boy, that was nice. Unfortunaly I didn't take any picture, but pictures wouldn't be enough - perhaps a video would be a blast! The acts I like best were by Anastacia, World Undercroft and - if she reads this I change it, I swear - the venue owner whose name I don't remember right now. They had astonishing scenarios, creative dances and a very smart use of particles I've rarely seen inworld. I'm very glad I was part of it, although in my case it was just a tiny part lol.

Whatelse? Erm... besides I'm STILL playing loads of League of Legends (I'm improving in there) I received some new releases, and decided to style it. As I said, I really really tried an inworld full of shadows picture, but the result was like... erm... nevermind.

Coming back to the outfit: Egoism has release three new mesh jackets. I picked the red one for it looks perfect for a daredevil racer, it fits into cars as well as for bikes. I tried black trousers and so, but the red was screaming - not actually negative - and I was like "Why not having red bottom as well?" I remembered then of a pair of trousers the were never used (sometimes we have so many stuff in our inventories that we forget what we have, even when they're very organized, which is shamely not my case lol). A hairdo here, props there, and the whole thing was done. Many people do like red, but if to you it's too much, just put a light coloured t-shirt on and some jeans would look perfect as well.

As this blog is not only about styling cards/clothes - no it is not! :P I downloaded Nirans viewer and found it classy to take pictures with. Although it's not that easier to use for beginners, it handles shadows nicely. The teleport screen is so... smooth and different! You really should give it a go. I recommend it (the same way as it was recommended to me lol). The link follows here http://sourceforge.net/projects/niransviewer/ . Have fun ;)

And if you got what I said about styling cards, let's check:

Hair - Uw.st - Uw.7R Ash hair
Eyeware - Tokugawa heavy industries - Optical Shades
Jacket - Egoism - Red biker
T-shirt - Ramp design - X-men t-shirt
Gloves - Tres Beau - Driving gloves (if I'm not wrong it's a gift)
Trousers - TheAbyss - Chaos leather pants red

The fall - alien and evil



For some reason this month I'm very interested in alien outfits, different structures. Sometimes looking angelic while other looking evil, not exactly demonic. I invite you all to keep reading: in this post - Neurolabs, Tableau Vivant, Ladies Who Lunch and much more.

fingers scintilla

If you haven't heard of him visit his flickr => http://www1.flickr.com/photos/fingersscintilla/

For this post I was looking for some cyber avant garde with more art into it. Then instead of taking the pictures myself I went for digital artists like that nice bloke above. I'll put just a tiny thumbnail beside it, so that you'll have to read to whole post see what I mean. LoL

Eisbrecher


Incredible visor/display/shades from Fairlight Industries
For this post not too much words. I've just noticed on how I've been focusing on white clothes and backgrounds. Perhaps it's a contrast for what I see inworld. Everybody is dark skinned and brunette. Why is this so? Loads of tattoos, strips of cloths, post-emo-but-still black emo hairs. Perhaps I'm just tired? Or perhaps I just don't want to think about anything? Or perhaps I'm in love? Oops, saying too much... LoL

What do we have in here to be so called an icebreaker... Let's see: Akeruka, GRAVES, some heavy industries (Tokugawa and Fairlight) and a part of a roleplay kit?

After the blizzard

Well, it seems the worst has already passed: the blizzard of stress that caused a turmoil in the fashion scene and the grid itself. Now it's time to slow down a little bit and start planning for the coming year or at least trying to find our path after the hell got frozen. What are you going to do? A list of dos and don'ts really helps? I'm not a very fan of enlisting goals, but perhaps those that require just a few baby steps are easier to lift up our confidence than dreaming about moving mountains or even continents.

What about wearing at least something comfortable and resistant enough to give us some base for the new upcoming? There are some new releases to fuel our endurance, just click on "read more". ;)

How to turn a prince into a (cyber) punk!

Yeah! This is the first post about cyber fashion. Do you really think that in order to have a nice look you're going to find stuff only at known cyber shops? The answer is yes and no. Yes, because there you can find complete outfits, great apparel, body enhancements and the like. No, for it's quite possible mix things from "average" shops into a cyberlook. One just need to have a good eye and choose wisely which items are going to the mixer.
I was supposed to take the pictures at INSILICO, but unfortunately the sim doesn't have good shadows on the ground. And then I've just found another sim which I will have to explore soon: name is Cybercity.

First Post - LL Viewer 3 BETA | Starter Avatars Review

Alright, this is the first post. Not my first RL nor SL blog, which doesn't mean I'm a pro when it comes to blogging. I hope you like it. And, then, going straight to the point, the focus is on how Linden Labs is preparing new grounds for brand new residents. People whose skill about viewers is close to null.
