why I blog

incognito

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’! :D 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! :)

A new round of My Attic has started, and lots of lovely stuff out there! I particularly like this leather skirt by SySy’s, it comes in two length in one package – I’m showing the pencil skirt here – and in lots of colours! And if anyone can resist a sheep purse, well… I can’t! :D

The cute flats I’m wearing are from *Tea Time* and come in a bunch of colour variations!

Have you been to beautiful Neva River yet? Neva Crystall has opened her sim for the public – but you’ll have to hurry, after March 30th, it will vanish like Brigadoon, and your chance to admire the wonderful landscaping and taking part in the Photography Challenge will be gone!

As soon as I saw these Redgrave jeans for men on Sugar’s blog, I knew I had to try them, and I think I’ll wear these for a long time, because to me, they’re just perfect! These jeans are so called “liquid mesh”, which means they fit themselves to your shape – be sure to try a demo before buying! If you do though, I think it’s a real bargain – three colours (blue jean, navy, black) in one package, with the belt in black, brown and mahagony thrown in! The jacket is from Les Petits Details – I can never resist a short jacket with loooong sleeves.

The worse the weather gets (it just snowed again here), the more I’m craving for sun, tanned skin, freckles and bleached hair (new hairstyles at Alice Project!) …
