So the mechanics of blogging have been frustrating of late. I know that a lot of folks have been complaining about the last few rounds of changes FlickR has made for nonPro accounts, but the fact is that I DO have Pro and I’m still having loads of issues! Forget the standard not being able to leave comments or timing out while uploading or groups spinning but never loading etc.,; that has happened off and on since I started using the platform back in 2017. But where I’m experiencing lots of other issues have been both in SL itself — what I see on camera and what I capture don’t match AT ALL, tons of LOD issues, random crashes (always in the middle of a shoot so it takes forever to get that same angle back!) — and perhaps more infuriating, here in my blog site itself. The underlying issue is that I don’t really understand the underlying technology of my blog… I rely on “click here, do this, add this, do that” and when something fails to actually add (like an inset I talk about below to show greater detail in the gown), I’m at a loss. Sighs, well, there’s just so much of being a perfectionist I can stand… after that, it’s time to move on! I think I need some shopping therapy, don’t you?
- Gown: Le’La Design – Atalie. I’m so very glad that I tried this gown on! It’s one of those items that looks great on the hangar but is so much more on the body! Beautifully but simply styled, Atalie features a corset waist, simple straps with bows & ribbons, & a beautifully cascading skirt with an overlay of not-too-subtle but not-too-dominating glitter… The skirt has hidden depths too (I had an inset to add below but after 3 hours of trying to insert, I’ve given up… check it out on the demo, it’s totally gorgeous when dancing!), making for a mesmerizing but totally understated elegance. Atalie comes in 20 colors, or in a fatpack with an amazing HUD that lets you choose different colors for the upper, middle, back, skirt & ribbons allowing you to create individualized looks. Sized for Legacy, Hourglass, Physique, Freya, Isis, Maitreya & Classic M, Atalie is available EXCLUSIVELY at the Oct round of Designer Showcase, open TODAY Oct 5th through the 25th. Demo available.
