Just one more chapter

Posted on April 16, 2020 by cejalaval

http://Just one more chapter

Although I’ve received a lot of grief over the years because I read so much (the majority of which just rolls right off my shoulders), I have to admit that I’ve rarely been so thankful that I have the ability to lose myself in a book for hours at a time.  If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m a chronic migraine sufferer, I could easily spend an entire day (and night) reading.  And no, I wouldn’t run out of books; I have a stack of hundreds of “to be read” books in the corner of my office, and I’d certainly rather read them than pack them up and move them to my new house (if we ever actually get to move, that is) just to have them sit in a corner and get slowly picked off while simultaneously being added to.  I have definitely made some good inroads during quarantine, and read some wonderful books. In fact, the combination of reading, Second Life, a video game, and chores around the house is basically the sum of my day, EVERY day, and up here in NY it looks like it will continue to be that way for quite a while yet.  Well, time to turn the page, as it were.  Remember: stay safe out there!

Bohemian Rhapsody

Posted on March 26, 2020 by cejalaval

http://Bohemian Rhapsody

Are you an animal lover?  As you may or may not know, I’m a crazy cat lady here in SL… I even have my own store on MP where I sell some of my extra kittens rather than throw them away or leave them in boxes forever.  In real life, I have a dog, cats & parakeets.  My son, who lives alone, has wanted a dog for quite a while now, but we’ve talked him out of it.  Now that he’s trapped alone in his apartment, he’s decided it’s time to adopt one, but the quarantine has made it harder than you might think.  No more shelter visits… everything is done by appointment after your application is approved, and they are all short-staffed, so it takes a while.  The dog you fall for on PetFinder may no longer be available by the time they get to you… that’s already happened twice, so now I’m also looking at dogs online, finding adoptable candidates.  I’m pushing hard for what I call “the scattergun approach”:  apply for several at one time so that hopefully at least one will still be available by the time approval comes through (I can’t imagine he won’t be approved as long as he follows the mandates and doesn’t apply for a dog that requires things he doesn’t have, like a fenced-in yard).  It’s so sad though… so many pets are sitting there in shelters, waiting for homes, and the red tape is keeping them there longer than necessary.  I understand it of course; no one wants people to adopt a dog or cat because they’re home bored, and then when life goes back to normal (it will, won’t it?) they’ll decide they don’t want the pet after all, and whoosh, back to the shelter it goes.  I hear people are turning in their pets over mistaken beliefs that they can catch the virus from them… I just don’t understand it.  Pets are part of the family!!!  Well, in any case, the dog search has delayed today’s posting, but better late than never! Not like most of us have anywhere to rush to!  At least here on the grid, you can go out, get some much needed shopping therapy and pure socialization.  As for real life, be safe out there!

  • Outfit:  Furtacor– Tinah Set.  An adorable 3-piece outfit.  The jacket, corset, & skirt have what I think is a really interesting combination of style — a zip-up cardigan with/without racing stripes on the sleeves, a school-girlish plaid skirt (also in solid), paired with a sexy ribbed corset.  Definitely gets the imagination going! HUD has 15 textures for the jacket & skirt plus black or white for the corset.  Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, Legacy, & Maitreya. EXCLUSIVELY at the Girls Heaven event, open March 8th – 31st.
  • Boots:  MOZ Designs –  “Evie” Thigh High Boots.   100% Original fitmesh in Aniline Leather or Suede fatpacks or a SuperPack of all textures!  Sized for Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, Tonic, & eBody.  Demo available.  Group members get a discount when wearing their tag making a purchase!
  • Tent:  Dreamland Designs: Bohemian Romantic Tent.  This romantic outdoor tent is filled with colorful rugs & pillows, surrounded by flowers & plantings & a curving bower, & accessorized with crates of goodies & romantic candles. It’s beautiful, yes, with lots of special little touches, but I have to say that what really makes this set stand apart are the animations.  First off, there are TONS, lots of singles (M & F, you can see one in the pic, & I can honestly tell you that I had a very difficult choosing what to use!), the cuddle list goes on for pages & pages, each one different & IMHO awesome. PG & Adult versions EXCLUSIVELY available at the March round of the Swank Event, March 7th – 29th.
  • Head, Eyes, Skin, Shape (modified):  LOGO – Josie.  Brand-new, absolutely stunning bento head, EXCLUSIVELY available at the Skin Fair, at the introductory price of 999L including both the customization & animation HUDs (normally sold separately), March 13th – 29th.  I’ve now tweaked the shape a tiny bit here & a little bit there & added my signature freckles (see below), just to personalize the look.  More details — & a closeup head shot of how Josie comes straight out of the box — can be seen in my post from March 17th HERE.   A demo is available at the Fair as well.  In case you can’t tell, I’m in love (yes, again).
  • Body:  Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet

Classical Beauty, Reimagined

Posted on March 23, 2020March 23, 2020 by cejalaval

http://Classic Beauty, Reimagined

I have Ophidiophobia, a fear of snakes that is a completely paralyzing phobia (something that Indiana Jones and I have in common, though he deals with it much better than I do). However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t love to wear snakeskin prints — I actually adore them!  Now that I think about it, maybe my phobia is part of the reason why I love them so much… it’s my way of getting back at them, of showing “So take that!”  I will admit, however, that it DID prevent me from adding a snake or two as props in this scene, although I think it may have been beneficial.  Even though they would have been virtual (as am I lol), the whole idea just makes me shudder.  So visualize a snake or two here or there if you will… personally, I prefer to believe that I live in snake-free environments, no matter where I am…  😉

  • Outfit:  [Vips Creations] – Gloria Swank.  This dress really has it all.  Fabulous snakeskin texture,  subtle sequins on the sleevesamazing cut with open sides & back, a short “skirt” with a long overtunic…  a simply stunning setting for any shape but especially if you’ve got curves like me.  Can easily fit in anywhere from a jet-set get-together to a cocktail party to a formal event. Sized for Slink HG/P, Maitreya, Fitted & Classic.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the March round of the Swank Event, March 7th – 29th.
  • Head, Eyes, Skin, Shape (modified):  LOGO – Josie.  Brand-new, absolutely stunning bento head, EXCLUSIVELY available at the Skin Fair, at the introductory price of 999L including both the customization & animation HUDs (normally sold separately), March 13th – 29th.  I’ve now tweaked the shape a tiny bit here & a little bit there & added my signature freckles (see below), just to personalize the look.  More details — & a closeup head shot of how Josie comes straight out of the box — can be seen in my post from March 17th HERE.   A demo is available at the Fair as well.  In case you can’t tell, I’m in love (yes, again).

http://Josie

Have you made it to the Skin Fair yet?  Since it opened a few days ago, it’s now actually possible to not just get in (as long as your complexity meets the strict requirement of 100,000 or less) but to actually move a bit around the event, at least as long as you derender everyone except your friends.  I know that some people avoid this kind of event because of the crowds, but everyone is there for an excellent reason… it’s the premier place to see the latest and best in both skins and heads from just about every maker all in one place.  Although not everyone has made the move to a mesh head (I know my partner hasn’t lol), just about every fashion blogger has one or more.  And we all have our favorites.  If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know that I’m partial to LOGO, both because of the quality and look of their bento heads, but also because of their skins, their makeup, their animations, and the entire customization HUD system.  They have several heads on sale at the Skin Fair, including one brand-new female bento head, Josie.

 LOGO – Josie.  Brand-new, absolutely stunning bento head, on an introductory sale price of 999L during the fair, including both the customization & animation HUDs (normally sold separately)! There are 2 versions of the head, one with parted lips “at rest” & one with a closed mouth.  In addition to the head itself, Josie includes 6 skin tones in both applier & system versions (I’m wearing Blossom), teeth, eyes, brow shape, modifiable head shape, makeup options, freckle/beauty mark options, animations, & what is called a “neutral AO”, a very lightweight face AO that you can wear all the time for a loop of small facial animations.  What an amazing system! You install ONLY what you want into the customization HUD, mixing & matching makeups from different skin tones if you want; you can always add or delete, it’s so simple! Everything I’m wearing comes in the pack, right down to the little beauty mark on my cheek.  Josie is LOGO’s EXCLUSIVE at the Skin Fair, at the introductory price of 999L including the HUDs, March 13th – 29th.  A demo is available.

Sniffles… I’m sick. No, I don’t have the coronavirus, and I don’t think I have the flu, but I am running a low grade fever, my head feels like it’s going to explode, and I feel simply awful.  It’s taken me days to get this post out because I just haven’t felt up to sitting at the computer, but time waits for no man (or woman), even when they have the worst cold on earth, so here we go.

Oops, I’ve done it again.  I’ve been told the worst thing someone who blogs heads and/or skins can do is fall in love with one of them.  I seem to run counter to that… I fall in love repeatedly, but then again it’s how I became a blogger in the first place.  I’ve been loving this head — Mae from LOGO — since I first put her on at the very end of last year; I think she’s beautiful but with a lot of character.  IMHO this new skin just kicks her looks up to another level.  She’s new, and both the skin AND the head are on sale.  Demos of both are available.  (And if you don’t know LOGO, it’s a truly amazing system of customizable HUDs.)  I promised in yesterday’s blog that I’d give the details, and here they are. Happy shopping!

  • Head:   LOGO – Mae.  Also wearing the included Mae eyes (the HUD lets you choose the color).  Mae comes with her own skins, hairbases, makeup, shape, eyebrow shaper, talking animations, & built-in expression animations. There’s even an alternate version of these animations that include ear movements for use with LOGO Bento Expressive Elf Ears!  (It should be noted that in order to use the skins, makeup, animations, etc. you do need the Customization HUD.) The head also includes the AO Neutral which is an amazing little low-script HUD that lets you have some ongoing expressions all the time without worrying about lag! On sale for 50% OFF at the February eBento event, February 11th to 29th.
  • Skin & Shape:  LOGO – Amelia, together with the Amelia shape which is specifically made for the Mae head.  Amelia includes 6 skin tones in both applier & BOM versions, each of which has 6 brow color choices, plus 8 standard & 8 enhanced lipsticks.  I’m wearing Amelia in “blossom” with red brows & one of those lipsticks; everything else is “as is” (although I did of course modify the body to my own shape); I didn’t even change the makeup, even though options were included.  I learned a new trick though… the tonality of the lipstick shades vary for each skin tones, but you can install the lipsticks from any of the skin tones into your HUD no matter which skin you wear.  On sale & EXCLUSIVELY available at the February eBento event, February 11th to 29th.
  • Jewelry:  Stone’s Works –  Hoops & Spheres Necklace & Earrings (sold separately).  Absolutely stunning, with a resizer built in so you don’t have to worry about them being too big or too small for your size. EXCLUSIVELY available at Hope 2, the Home & Garden Expo to Benefit Relay for Life from February 13th to March 2nd, which this year includes “Wearable Arts”.  These items are each a 100% donation so your purchase goes to an incredibly worthy cause.
  • Hair:  Besom – Maddy

Luck Be A Lady

Posted on January 23, 2020 by cejalaval

http://Luck Be A Lady

For a while now I’ve been noticing these awesome smiles scattered across FlickR.  I kept wondering where these big winning grins were coming from.  I felt like I won the lottery when playing with the animations in my LOGO animations HUD and THERE WAS THE SMILE!!!  It’s not the kind of smile you can walk around wearing every day, it’s a little too big for that.  Thankfully there are lots of other smile choices built into the HUD as well.  But for special occasions — like a big win when playing board games (which I do quite a bit here in SL) — it’s definitely my go-to from now on!  Well I’m off to Florida tomorrow for a few days.  Guess I need to watch for falling iguanas (I’m not kidding, look it up lol)… in the meantime, happy shopping!

  • Head, Eyes, & Eyeshadow:  LOGO – Willow.  This head is just such a beauty, I love it! It comes with absolutely gorgeous skins (see my earlier blog HERE), but you can easily install Omega which opens up the ability to wear a ton of others like the one I’m wearing here, as well as makeup, etc… like my freckles!  The standard animations that come with the animation HUD are amazing, just look at that winning smile!  What really blows me away though is that you can mix ‘n match the tops & bottoms of animations to create new ones; you can also buy & add more right into the HUD, depending on what you like!  Now THAT’S really something to smile about! 
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Karmin, worn in Butter browless (my favorite light tone).  A real winner of an Omega skin, two options of 5 tones each (dark or light, including both omega & BOM, with & without brows).  I’ve added a touch of eyeshadow since the dress screamed for it, but left the lips bare to show the true beauty of this skin. EXCLUSIVELY available at the UniK event, January 7th – 28th.  Demos & shape also available.
  • Nails:  StunnerOriginals – Bento Nails Mesh Ballerina Metal.  I rarely wear mesh nails, but wow, just wow.  LOVE these! They even have a 6 option HUD, & are EXCLUSIVELY available at the January Swank Event, January 7th – 31st.  See the closeup below.
  • Dress:  Mistique – NEW!  Milena in Pastel Blue.  Satin & open mesh in a “turtleneck mini” style… wowza!  So sexy, without going overboard… just my style! Sized for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, eBody Curvy, Legacy, & Maitreya. A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Body:  Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Hair:  Stealthic – Purity
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Heart Mole & Freckles (Omega)
  • Jewelry: Shiny Things (extinct vendor) – Glass Chunk Earrings; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Pose:  Reve Obscura – Baddie Bento Pose Gift with Mesh Money

Willow

Posted on January 15, 2020 by cejalaval

http://Willow

I may or may not have mentioned this before, but I read a lot. I always have, even as a kid.  One book that has I’ve always remembered from those childhood days of reading is “Ozma of Oz”, in particular the part about this princess who had a whole collection of detachable heads, that she could choose to wear depending on her mood.  There have been many times in my Second Life — especially since I’ve started blogging — when I’ve felt a bit like that princess, putting heads on and off, sometimes just to blog, sometimes because it has the right “look “, and sometimes because I’m in love.  I think I’ve fallen in love… again.  Willow is just so beautiful, it’s hard not to, although I’ve been thoroughly loving my other LOGO head.  I’m torn between them, but like Princess Langwidere (and yes, I had to look her name up!), we’re lucky in SL because we can easily exchange our heads to see if a new head speaks more to who we feel ourselves to be, how we want to project ourselves to the rest of the world.  IMHO, Willow is a knockout just as she is.  But of course she’s fully modifiable, so you can make any tweaks you like to customize her into an even more unique YOU.  Personally, I may not be taking this head off for a while (though keep watching for tweaks in the days ahead lol)! Happy shopping!

  • Head, Skin, Shape, Eyes:   LOGO – Willow, “straight out of the box,” totally untweaked, just making choices from what’s included in terms of eye color, brows, & skin tone (I’m wearing Bloom, one of the 6 skin tones that’s included in both applier & BOM versions).  Everything you need is here, even red brows, the system is fantastic!
  • Hair:  Doux – Lala
  • Jewelry:  Graffitiwear – Opal Jewelry Gift Set; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band

Almost time to finally get going!

Posted on January 3, 2020January 3, 2020 by cejalaval

http://Almost time to FINALLY get going

So after months of frustration and increasing aggravation, followed by weeks of not-always-so-patient waiting, my new desktop computer has finally arrived!  BUT (and it’s a big but!) it turns out that although I made sure I had an extra monitor for doing the big transfer, I failed to check that I had an extra keyboard.  So although the computer is sitting here, I can’t actually turn it on until I go in to work tomorrow where I can borrow an extra keyboard for the duration of the transition.  (As it turns out, my extra monitor has the wrong connections for the new computer, but my existing computer can take it, so a little switcheroo is in order there too.) Soooo unfair, but I managed to get this “last” photo shoot done with a minimum of crashing.  Hopefully (fingers crossed!), once all is done and everything is up and working, the new computer will sail through all the freezing and other issues I’ve been experiencing for months now.  All I have to do is hang on… then full speed ahead! In the meantime, happy shopping!

  • Head:  LOGO – Mae.  Also wearing the included Mae eyes (the HUD lets you choose the color).  I’ve made a few tweaks to the included shape, but I’ll be honest… I made very few, relatively small tweaks.  The head shape just didn’t need it & what I did do was for thoroughly subjective reasons. I’m still learning my way around the LOGO system but I have to say, I’m loving it!
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Music, worn in Butter browless.  A real stunner of an Omega skin, two options of 5 tones each (dark or light, including both omega & BOM, with & without brows) ON SALE at the last round of the Designer Circle 26/19, open Dec 29th – Jan 11th.  Shape & demos also available. 
  • Outfit:  Graffitiwear – Cross Dress Outfit.  2 dresses per set with matching mid-high shoes.  There are 4 color options, & the shoes are awesome, with zippers up the back! Sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya & FitMesh S/M/L, this outfit is EXCLUSIVELY available at the last round of the Designer Circle 26/19, open Dec 29th – Jan 11th. 
  • Makeup:  LOGO – Glossy Eyeshadows Pack 1.  New Enhanced Glossy Eyeshadows that work ONLY for the LOGO female heads.  Includes 8 stunning colors; install all or only selected colors right into your customization HUD. 
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!
  • Brows:  Avada – Anja Eyebrows
  • Mole/Freckles:  Izzie’s – Heart Mole & Freckles (Omega)
  • Hair:  Stealthic – Purity
  • Jewelry:   Earthtones – Clover Clouds Necklace & Earrings (extinct vendor);  Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Nails:  Cazimi – Callan Nails
  • Pose:  Fashiowl Poses – La Vie En Rose

Shall we toast another New Year’s together?

Posted on December 31, 2019 by cejalaval

http://Shall we toast another New Year's together?

As part of my personal end-of-year evaluation, I decided to make some changes to my sponsor line-up.  A few are gone, and I’ve taken on some new challenges.  One of them is LOGO, a line of bento heads that I’ll admit has completely blown me out of the water.  I thought it would be interesting to blog heads; I thought it would be challenging, since the idea is to show the head at its best as it’s provided, not to make it look like ME.  What I did NOT expect was to be bowled over.

There are two parts to the LOGO system. The HUDs for customizing and animating your head and the heads themselves. The HUDs are a separate purchase but you only need to buy them once, they work with all the LOGO bento heads. There is just so much to these heads. Yes, they’re fabulous looking, each in its own distinctive way — which in itself is really different, since the heads from so many designers look like variations of each other.  But to me, what really sets this line apart are its customization HUDs. That’s right — both the head HUD (skin, makeup, brows, tattoos, hairbase, eyes) & the animations HUD can be customized.  Honestly I’m still playing with it, but you can add new things to it, you can customize animations by mixing and matching, there’s just so much you can do to make each head your own unique YOU.  I’m showing you the starting point… where you go from here is totally up to you.  Another thing I totally love?  A little “AO Neutral”, which is a 60 second animation override that you can wear and just run continuously to give your character a little bit of subtle facial and head movements.   It’s low-script and runs with your your regular AO.  Did I mention I was blown away?  Why not grab a demo and start playing?

  • Head:   LOGO – Mae.  Also wearing the included Mae eyes (the HUD lets you choose the color).  Everything on this gorgeous bento head is shown “straight out of the box,” totally untweaked.  Includes the head, eyes, teeth, shape, eyebrow shaper, Mae skins (not shown), hairbases, makeup, talking animations, & built-in expression animations. There’s even an alternate version of these animations that include ear movements for use with LOGO Bento Expressive Elf Ears!  (It should be noted that in order to use the skins, makeup, animations, etc. you do need the Customization HUD.) The head also includes the AO Neutral!
  • Skin & Shape:  LOGO – Naomi, worn in Blossom, together with the Naomi shape which is specifically made for the Mae head.  Once again, I’m showing Naomi “as is”…  all I did was choose from options for such things as brow color & of course modify the body to my own shape; I didn’t even change the makeup, even though options were included.  Skin includes both applier & BOM versions. 
  • Top:  MOZ Designs – NEW! Crop Hoodie.   Perfect casual little top with all those perfect little details like contrast coloring inside the hood & on the dangling strings.  Available in 3 fatpacks of solids or graphics, or a Superpack that includes all options. Sized for Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, Tonic & eBody.  It’s the exclusive at the December eBento  which ends today Dec 31st, but don’t worry!  If you miss it at the event, you haven’t missed out just because I’m sadly late in blogging this awesome little hoodie… it’s now moving to the mainstore!
