Project Open Letter

Skin: Honey-Vanilla by Lovey Darling Hair: Gooseberry by Calla

Just wanted to post about project Open Letter. You can read about the project and add your name to the list of signatures if you wish. http://www.projectopenletter.com/

I think it is a good idea. The letter is well written and to the point. I think it shows people care about SL and want to see it evolve. I take many of the "bugs" as part of the package and don't really let them affect me. But the letter got me thinking that well... perhaps it's not a good sign if things not working are just taken as a given. I don't know how many times I have told new residents "ohhh don't worry, that's just a bug, happens all the time but we find ways to work around them. No worries!" or "ohhh it's update day (or it's the weekend), those are always rough. Don't worry, it will get better"

All in all, my experience in Second Life is very positive but it can't hurt to improve the experience!

On a side note, it's Monday and I have a ton of things to do. So...no time for SL much. I do check in to reply to IMs etc, just no time for making new things right now. Plus, I can't create if I know I have other things to do, I need to have a clear head. I have so many ideas doodled on scraps of paper, just need time!

Have a nice week everyone :)

What a nice banana you have

What a nice banana you have...

Yes! That is what everyone will say when this new way cool feature comes to SL.

I was waiting to log back into SL but the region was having issues with letting go of my avatar and letting it logout (I understand, I'd have a hard time letting you go too region! *hugs*) so, to pass the time, I checked out the Second Life blog. And...

Sculpted prims! Rounded corners without having to fiddle with extra prims! The ability to shape a prim to look like something!

Read about it here and watch the video. Sooo cool.

I cannot wait to play with this. It will be a headache to master for sure but hey, I'm always up for learning new things (except scripting, I tried, it's hopeless). They didn't say when it would come out but with voice scheduled to come out (eventually), I'm guessing not anytime soon. Good, more time to learn about it! Take your time LL.

Oh, and with these new prims...when something goes wrong in SL and we start cursing, we will be able to say "dude, don't get your prim bent out of shape!" (lame late night joke for y'all. Har!)

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Oh...and on a side note, my career as a Guitar Hero sadly came to an abrupt end last night. Yep, the dreaded red ring of death started flashing on my 360. *cries* It is still under warranty but meh, by the time we get a new one, my fingers will be all rusty and I will never get to be as good as this kid now (watch him play! woah...just woah... and he's only 8!)

Rockin' out

Hola everyone!

I'm still around, just pretty busy with RL projects at the moment...so not much time to work on designs but ideas are piling up! I need a third life if I am to find time to do everything I want to do!

I have also been rockin' my little heart out playing Guitar Hero II. This game is way too addictive. I think I am even starting to like heavy metal. OY! That's my rockin' chica up there on the pic. She has mad skills! (when my fingers don't screw up the notes...)

Some Relay for Life info. The Dixie Rebels team will be hosting two fund raising events next week. The first one is a Woodstock theme on Thursday, May 3rd from 5pm-7pm SLT. The second one is a formal on Saturday, May 5th from 5-7pm STL. Who knows, maybe I will be inspired to do some 70's stuff (time permitting!). I will post a slurl later but in case I forget, the events will be held in Dixie Land Estates. Don't forget to mark your calendars!

I finally named the purple dress. It is called *Farfalla*, italian for butterfly. The four remaining dresses will be available in May. Some people have already claimed their copy so...not many left!

I hope everyone is having a nice week. Weekend soon! Hopefully, I will be able to make some new stuff this weekend (still have a few custom requests on the list, so...we'll see how things go)

Ciao all!

Sneak peek!

Skin by Lovey Darling (Honey -- Vanilla) Hair by Calla (Lotus)

Here is a sneak peek of a dress that was designed for Relay for Life. It is so new, I don't even have a name for it yet.

Only five of these will be released in this colour. The first one was auctionned yesterday during the Dixie Relayers Auction benefiting SLRFL. The other four will be released next month.

The auction was a great success. The Dixie Relayers worked their butts off to put this together and so many generous people showed up to support this great cause.

I would like to personally thank my friends Rudolph Ormsby from B-Loved, Oryx Tempel from International House of Style, Davidicus Liadis from Domovoy Designs and Ernesto Leonard from Club ArtHouse for generously donating their creations and services for the Relay auction. You guys rock!

New! Swimmin! In one billion colours!

Well, ok, not one billion colours...but it sure did feel like a billion when I was texturing 18 pairs of flip flops! Good grief. There must be an easier way!!

************************

Introducing *Swimmin*, a fun little swimwear set perfect for hitting the beach and dancing by the poolside.

The set includes:

• 1 swimsuit top (with mesh.) Comes in undershirt and shirt layers.
  
• 1 swimsuit bottom (with mesh and belt). Underpants and pants layers.
• 1 very mini flexi skirt. The suit can be worn with or without the skirt.
• matching flip flops with flower detail to keep your feet off the hot sand.

Disclaimer: Not responsible for freaky mesh tan lines. So, wear sunscreen! You've been warned!

Available in 18 colours.

Everything is MOD and TRANSFER. If you prefer a copy, no transfer version, just let me know and I can exchange it for you no problem.

I am trying out transfer instead of copy to see if people prefer that. Figured a swimsuit would be a good way to test the waters (no pun intended!) since it's not really a mix and match type of thing.

So! Let me know your thoughts! Love the transfer permission? Tell me! Hate it with a passion? Let me know too! Should some things be copy and others transfer? Ahhh, questions, questions. I like both personally. Being able to copy is great for making different outfits. Being able to treat your friends to your old "I'm so sick of wearing this but it would look cool on you" clothes is nice too.

Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy the new swimsuits!
