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!

Mixing pink and red has become quite an obsession… right now, several hues of both. And another obsession, cropped leather jackets! This one is from *COCO*, and I just love it.

Playing around with the new Firestorm, which so far works nicely on my system! It has new cloud settings, they are so beautiful, you have to try them. I also like the inbuild pose stand – very handy!

I’m wearing hair I’ve grabbed at the Truth hair sale, a simple dress by !gO! and the new flip-flops from Fanatik.

why I blog

Another one of Berry’s memes!

1. How long have you been blogging?
   Since December 2011
2. Why did you start?
   I was looking for something SL related to do which didn’t take up as much time as creating stuff, because I was doing a job-retraining which required lots of learning. And I love photography, particularly fashion and interior design.
3. How many times a week do you post an entry?
   About 2 – 4 times, depending on my mood and my ideas for looks.
4. How many different blogs do you read on a regular basis?
   I read a lot of SL blogs – mostly fashion and interior design, but also a few techie ones, and a few blogs by RL friends.
5. Do you comment on other people’s blogs?
   Not often enough – mostly I just press “like” if it’s a WordPress blog. It’s a bit sad, because I love getting comments on my posts, and I know other bloggers feel the same! I’ll try to do better now!
6. Do you keep track of how many visitors you have?
   I do, because it gives me a warm buzzy feelin’! It makes me happy to see that people like my pictures and maybe buy things because I’ve shown them here, because that helps the designers of all that awesome stuff and they make more of it!
7. Did you ever regret a post that you wrote?
   No. If I would, I would probably delete the post, but then I’m not writing about deeply personal things here.
8. Do you think your readers have a true sense of who you are based on your blog?
   Not sure – if they follow my posts, they might get a feeling of what I like in terms of fashion and furniture, and of course that’s a part of me, but there’s more to a person than that…
9. Do you blog under your real name?
   So far, no, my blogs have been under my SL name or just as “sisch”, because that’s a nick I’ve had for years.
10. Are there topics that you would never blog about?
    I would never blog something I don’t like, or blog something just because I feel an obligation. Blogging should be fun!
11. What is the theme/topic of your blog?
    The theme of this blog is fashion/furniture/homes in SL, and photography.
12. Do you have more than one blog? If so, why?
    Yes! I do have a blog for my little shop ([KoKoLoReS]) which is sadly neglected – that might or might not change soon because I’m going to revamp my store and I’m still debating wether to show new stuff I make on this blog, or keep the store blog. I also have a blog about my machinima, which kinda ended in 2009, but it’s still there.

13. What have you found to be the benefits of blogging?
    Blogging is extremely relaxing to me. I love setting up photos, decorating, playing with lighting, making my avi beautiful or my home a place I would love to have in RL. If my day has been bad, I can forget about everything just logging in and playing with ideas and outfits. I’ve learned a lot about photography, angles, light, moods, about Photoshop – there’s always something new to discover! And that there are people out there who like my pictures and outfits is just the icing on the cake.
14. So, why do you continue to blog?
    It’s fun! I love it, and it makes me happy. So there!

Feeling a bit playful today – which might just be the “fault” of this new Dura hair! The shirt is out now at my friend Vee’s shop, SaVee. It’s mesh, comes in standard sizes and three colours – I’m wearing blue, there are pink and beige available also.

I feel like a bit of glam today! The skirt is new at Sweet Leonard, and just perfect for a glam look. Been wearing tram hair for days now – I’m in love with these chin-hugging styles! And I love the Erinyes Wing by BOOM.

I’m going to revamp my little store Kokolores soon – I’m working on make ups and other stuff in addition to poses!
