Identity Crisis!!!

If a shark stops swimming it dies… I think this holds true of SL as well.  This might explain why I move about once every 6 months. I knew that I needed to downsize but I didn’t want to compromise (with a lower prim count) what I have come to love about living in a RP sim. So My newly converted Tavern is starting to look Christmassy (I will be showing it to you soon) and my new skybox is built with all the features that I need. I tend to buy my houses but prefer to build my own skybox.


I was going for a clean look with room for an office, a big empty area for pictures, or setting up props, and experiments hehe. I used textures from Insight Designs and a mixture of two different packs worked for me. I also wanted windows and light so I bought light textures and added those to transparent prims. You can actually make these pretty easily in in PS as well as adding shadows (which I am going to try from scratch next..).


I have also been madly reading Tutorials, trying to educate myself as to what goes into making clothes. Who ever knew that seams are so difficult to match? I have been haunting the Beta Test Grid wearing uv maps, trying to avoid the newbies who think they now have oodles of money and want me to tell them how to transfer that money to the regular grid… As you can see I have been neglecting my blogging, oh yes I went to 111… I have been wearing the same outfit by Plastik for nigh on a week now, procrastinating about blogging and at the same time marvelling at Aikea’s texturing abilities. Good thing Rogan Diesel sent me along a couple of new pose packs or I might have not changed, or blogged for weeks (my rule is blog it then change). And don’t think I didn’t know that I looked funny decorating my Tutor style Tavern dressed as a Disco Queen…

In Lost Town I got my Groove back….

I am feeling pretty good today… Maybe because I have a day off, maybe because I am wearing some of my new favourite things…or I dunno, I just feel like I’m finally getting my Groove back.



I love this skin, its one of the new Pink Fuel Makeups and though I bought three skins, this is my fave. Mochi Milena is not only getting it right with the body and face but she’s quickly becoming one of the better make-up artists in SL too!! The Lingerie is from Oh La La which is a little store I found in Tableau sim, nice hand drawn quality.



The hair is a new offering by Calico Ingmann Designs and this shade is from her Favourites pack, an amazing array of 10 colours for only 200L. The Jacket and skirt are from the new summer line from the Lelutka brand. There are a lot of great clothes and I had trouble picking…. These boots!!! Aw I love these boots from Hoorenbeek, I’m kicking myself now for not buying from there before, really I want more!!!

LeLutka…review

When Valena Glushenko of LeLutka sent me along a folder of some her new items, I was intrigued and a little intimidated. LeLutka is a brand which I would associate with high fashion, a little like one of these RL stores which in RL, if you have to ask how much it costs you cannot afford it. LeLutka has a number of designers under their brand name and Valena is the designer of some really lovely gowns, forget the tea cosy ballroom look, I could imagine these frocks being worn to an opening or high end fundraiser. That said, everything is beautifully designed with classic lines, and a trip to the store convinced me to buy a few more pieces to compliment the look.

This outfit reminded me really strongly of a piece I owned back in the 80’s. It was so comfortable I wore it till it was really ratty. The shoulders are sculpty prims and I had a difficult time fitting it to my body until I had the brilliant idea of playing with my cleavage. So now the prims fit and I have an augmented alt shape! The necklace is texture change which makes it extremely versatile.

This top I picked up by Thora Charron of LeLutka is a perfect compliment to Valena’s shorts. All of these pictures are untouched as I have found that shoppers want to know pretty closely how an item will look while worn.

I loved shooting in all these locations, although I was keeping my eye open for anyone roleplaying the Edo period!

This gown has one or two shoulder options with a lovely transparency in the sleeves.
