Since the remake of ‘The Great Gatsby’ is coming to the cinema soon, and I’ve always loved the 1920′s fashion and jazz music, I’m excited and looking forward to seeing the movie! Volstead is a new to me store which offers beautiful evening dresses that fit the period, you should definitely try the demos if you’re into this style of clothes! And I just love the colour change Garbo hat from LeeZu. The pictures were taken at Shady Falls, a beautiful roleplaying sim well worth a visit!

let’s dance!

The beautiful hooded romper from LeeZu! (available at the new round of The Liaison Collaborative) made me think of jazz music and dance – and since I finally got the medium SLink mesh feet I wanted to show off, too, I got inspired to make a few dance poses!

The poses will be available later today in my shop [KoKoLoReS]! I’m looking for bloggers – so if you’re interested in poses, cosmetics and some fashion stuff, please send me notecard inworld!

sisch’s basics

Miss Skittles has asked us to share our basics, the things we always come back to wearing, so here goes!

• Hair
  In the pictures for this post I’m wearing Tram hair -  I’m totally in love with these chin-hugging styles. I don’t really have a favourite hair designer – I’m a real hair-whore! – but my basic hair colour is still blonde, even though I love to wear other colours, especially red or ombre styles. I’ll always come back to blonde, and very often choose a mid-length style or an updo over long flowing styles.
• Skin
  Okay, if you follow this blog you already know I’m not only a hair-whore, but a skin-whore, too…. Among my favs are Essences, Glance Skins, Pink Fuel and Glam Affair… which one I wear depends very much on my mood and on the skin tone I want to wear. I’m always trying on new ones, still in search of that “perfect” skin (it doesn’t exist, every new skin I buy is perfect for a while, then I want something new!).  What I would call basic about my skin habit though is that I like them to be bare – I prefer adding make ups via tattoo layers.

• Brows
  My basic brow shape is from Exile – the bald base that comes with the hairs has a brow shape that fits almost all my skins or brow tattoo’s!
• Freckles and moles
  You’ll almost never find me without a freckle or moles tattoo layer on! I’ve got tons of those – in these pics, I’m wearing one which came with the Sasha skin for theSkinnery, I have some from okkbye and Essences, L.Fauna, Glam Affair…. I love these little imperfections!
• Eyes
  I wear eyes from IKON, Insufferable Dastard or Umeboshi. Couldn’t decide which one I love best!
• Lashes
  My favourite mesh lashes are from Maxi Gossamer (groomed), fav prim lashes from Lelutka (Mascara), but most of the time I wear tattoo lashes, even for my pictures. I don’t like that mesh or prim lashes always seem to look “faded” in pics, and the alpha layers often interfere with hair or glasses. My basic tattoo lashes are from ploom and came with a skin package (Harlowe), and lately I often wear the ones I made myself.
• shape
  My shape is me. I fiddled with the settings until I liked them, and rarely change anything about it, most mesh fits it perfectly! I’m not willing to switch to other shapes, and if a skin doesn’t fit my face as it is, I don’t buy it. Even my alt Leyla wears the same shape, because I can’t get used to seeing me look different, and I’ve written down all digits by hand so that I’ll never, never lose them! (paranoid, much )
• mesh nails
  since I bought the Ultra mesh rigged fingernails from Jamman, I have rarely taken them off, and don’t wear any others anymore. Yes, they are a bit more expensive than other nails, but all the options available make up for that totally! You can texture each nail seperately and even wear each nail in a different length, for example!
• system layer clothing
  yes, I admit it – I always come back to it! As much as I love mesh, most of the time you’ll find me running around in something very like the outfit in the picture! I love well made system stuff, and I love making it. And it’s perfect for mixing with mesh!
• AO
  My AO is a mixture of animations I found over the years and put together myself. I’m so used to the AO build into Firestorm that I wouldn’t want to switch to a viewer that doesn’t have this feature – for some reason I hate AO’s you actually have to wear, they annoy me! (don’t ask why).

Ok, that’s it I think… this was fun!

haiku

So this time, Berry has asked us to write a Haiku…. initially I had no idea what a Haiku is, so I found the links she gave in her post very helpful! I’m sure the one I came up with is not very good, but it describes my SL experience pretty well. And it’s fun!

 

feeling relaxed here
fashion i love so time flys
being contented

 

The picture was taken on my land, using one a pose from Embody’s new pose prop pack F I SCREAM, and the balloon just came by in time to be featured ….

I’m feeling like a second post today… especially because I got so many lovely eyes from the UMEBOSHI gatcha at The Chapter Four, and because of these lovely Elfin Earcuffs just released by SLink! Metal and gems are colour change! And [tea.s] has this new bracelet out at SL Fashion Week.

three wishes

Berry has asked us to share three things we wish for in our Second Life – so here goes!

1. I really really with all my heart wish Linden Labs would lower the monthly tier for full sims, and allow people who don’t have a sim to buy a homestead! I do think many more people would consider owning a sim if it wasn’t so expensive (europeans have to pay VAT in addition to the fee, which adds up even more).
2. I wish I could move whole folders from inventory into boxes. Managing the inventory would be so much easier, especially if you’ve got a lot of stuff. Of course you would then need to keep track of what you put where, but I would gladly accept that!
3. I wish people would be more open minded about SL – not many of my RL aquaintances know I’m into it, and to most it’s wasted time. Of course it doesn’t help that people who have heard about it often just heard about the pixel sex. SL is so much more! I’ve learned a lot of skills I wouldn’t have learned without it, like working with Photoshop, texturing, making animations….

So these are my wishes! What are yours?
