Wait a minute, he said WHAT?

https://Wait a minute, he said WHAT?

Playing telephone… we all do it, both IRL and let’s face it, being in SL has a visual component but it’s still all based on words, and if you’re like me and don’t use voice, you’re also trying to interpret tone.  Be that as it may, I’m happy to report that the problems with my website are figured out!  After Flickr support failed to provide any answers, I had independently discovered a quick fix for my last post (and I implemented it for the one before), but it was a one-by-one thing, and with more than thousand photos on my blog, there was just no way to implement.  Support on my hosting site is now completely AI, and she (not sure why I think it’s a she, but I do!) figured out that one of the plug-ins was causing the issue… so my website is back to working!  YAY!  Now if I could only figure out why Flickr response is just so down… are so many Second Lifers abandoning the platform?  I’d love to hear from you about that…  And on that note, enjoy!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Fiorella Top & Pants.  As you might know if you follow my posts, I love lace.  This entire look is just so feminine & yet also so comfortable-looking… perfect for those Indian Summer days where autumn color is all around you but you’re warm enough to dress a bit lighter.  Fiorella is available in 14 single colors, with the top & pants sold separately, as fatpacks (the fatpack includes a HUD with all colors plus a color picker to let you customize them to the exact tone you want, which is what I’ve done), or as a Megapack with all colors for both pieces plus the color picker. ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Fiorella is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Lovemomma, & Nhumana  (see the poster below), & can be found at the mainstore as a NEW RELEASE.   Demo available with all colors included.

https://A Victorian Beauty, fae-style

So happy to be a fae, blissfully exploring new lands!  My poor human counterpart is still mired in all the problems of real life, especially when it comes to computers and showing off all the beauty of Second Life (although it seems on THIS post she figured it out all on her own, without the folks at Flickr who have been messing with it for more than a week; must be MY magic suddenly helping lol)! Me, I’m just going to fly off and explore some new fabulous lands and find new things to buy!  Sprinkles a little fairy dust in my wake, and takes off for the unknown!

  • Petrichor– Stoneveil.  Co-designed with Belle Epoque, Stoneveil captures the essence of Victorian beauty! I especially love the subtle pattern in the leather & in the skirt, it captures lighting so beautifully!  Sized for Legacy+Perky, Reborn+Waifu, & LaraX+LaraXPetite, she is available in 10 single color oufits with a HUD for the leather, ribbons, & pearls; a Full Pack with a 40-color HUD for the pearls, secondary, ribbons, etc; or a Megapack that also includes all the color options (see the Ad below).

Will tonight be the night?

https://Will tonight be the night?

The scene is set, everything is ready, and there’s really nothing more I can do.  I’m kind of at that point IRL too, though in a completely different situation.  My computer/Flickr/blog issues are not resolved, which is hindering my progress as I keep expending tons of time and energy trying to fix it.  At this point, I just have to let it go — again — and get my post out.  Time just keeps ticking away, and I keep finding myself up against the wall.  And after all, tomorrow is another day, and I plan on enjoying it fully.  Hopefully, you will too!  Happy shopping!!

That’s it! Hold that pose!

(Due to issues with Flickr which I am struggling to resolve, I can’t embed my pic.  Since suddenly none of the previously embedded pix are showing, I’m posting anyway.  Sincere apologies, I’m working on it )

https://That's It! Hold that Pose!

Fashion photo shoots can go one of two ways… incredibly quick, where everything just clicks… the setting, the pose, the lighting… all that remains is playing with the angles and other finetuning details (more lighting, body adjustments, etc.).  And then there are the ones where you struggle, and nothing seems to be right… where you change locations/backdrops, poses, and so much more.  My last post was a tough one, maybe because it was the first one back after 3 weeks of non-shoots, not to mention there are issues with my website (which still needs to be resolved, but I’m just not letting it bother me at the moment).  THIS one went incredibly smoothly… which of course makes me doubt it LOL.  But I’m learning to just go with my gut… it’s not always right, but in the end, it’s really all I have to rely on!  Enjoy!!!!

The Gold Standard

Posted on by admin

https://The Gold Standard

It’s been a few weeks since I blogged… for the whole week before leaving on a 2-week vacation, we had no internet, no WIFI, no TV… turned out that a lightning strike destroyed our cable line.  Just one of the hazards living in this area of Florida, which has been called the lightning capital of the US.  On top of having that quality I DON’T want, I also DON’T get much a change in seasons (though the temperatures do surely drop), and oh, do I miss it!  All those glorious colors!  To my mind, this outfit captures that gorgeous gold of fall — not TOO gold or sparkly, just golden enough — combined with the white shorts of summer… absolutely perfect for this transitional time!  It’s so good to be back!!!!

  • Outfit:  SUN Fashion – Antonella Gold.  Includes the stunning deep plunge top, short shorts, & absolutely marvelous heeled wrap sandals.  Rigged for Reborn, Legacy, Lara+LaraX, Antonella is available in 8 colors for the top or a megapack, 5 colors for the shorts or a megapack, & 3 colors for the heels or a megapack.  You can find her ONLY at the September round of Designer Showcase, open Sept 5th – 20th.  Demo available.
