New from Minx: Vanity’s Child

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

In the midst of the flexifire in the forums, Nikki Clayton released a truly extraordinary set of shoes named Vanity’s Child. It comes in three different strap configurations: there’s a studded t-strap, a plain t-strap and an ankle strap version available. It comes in all of the standard colors you can imagine — red, […]

Three new flexihairs!

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Lash Xevious reworked the Angelina hair to use flexiprims — this style sports a long flexipony attachment. It comes in 15 textures, including the two new she just finished, Sephiroth a white/purple streaked texture (inspired by Final Fantasy VII bad guy, presumably, not the kabbalah — but who knows?) and Ribbon which features a light […]

Updated: Sparkle Skye’s Entre Vous

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Update: Sparkle has re-released Entre Vous with a flexiprim baby doll flexiprim skirt. An upgrade for current Entre Vous owners is available. Contact Sparkle Skye in world for details.
Wow, this design was an eyecatcher this morning when I was cruising the forums. Sparkle posted this design in a rich purple, but I really prefer this […]

Updated: Sabrina Fair and two flexihairs: new at Adam-n-Eve

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Update: sachi Vixen released the soft gloss line of Sabrina Fair. (Of course my favorite makeup — Number 7 — isn’t one of the box ads sachi posted! D’oh!) But here’s number 8, of which I am also quite enamored.
I’ve been waiting and waiting — so patiently — to write about sachi Vixen’s new […]

Digital self expression and user generated content

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

You can take the girl out of Silicon Valley, but you can’t take Silicon Valley out of the girl. I found a really interesting post on “Good Morning Silicon Valley”, a tongue-firmly-in-cheek review of the latest headlines from the capital of computer dorkdom. But occasionally, there’s a really nice summary of some big ideas. I […]

Naughty Designs ripped off?

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Were you as intrigued by this ad for a new line of skins as I was? Raquel Montagne of La Femme posted another ad today for a blonde “base hair” skin named Soleil.
Take a careful look at the second photo. On the one side is Lost’s skin, and on the other side is the City […]

New Tete a Pied skins

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

I’ve also been meaning to write about the new makeup releases by Tete a Pied — I was going to write about Fashionista last week when CJ Carnot posted it on the forums, but I couldn’t find an ad texture. When it comes to makeups, a picture really is worth a thousand words. I was […]

My “real” video card

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

My primary SL computer since I started has been an Apple PowerBook G4. It did okay for me, gamely processing everything it could given a limited amount of RAM and a fairly old video card. With the arrival of 1.10, though, the G4 just wasn’t getting it done any more. Frame rates, especially with flexiprims, […]

Mmm. Shiny!

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Four fantastic jewelry releases: Raven by RH Engel, 3 Tier Beaded Necklace by Digital Dragon Designs, Asri Falcone’s stunning limited edition choker and earring set, and an intriguing necklace/earring set by Parallax View. Click for photos and commentary.

Unmentionables mentioned

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Let’s talk lingerie now. Yeah, it’s another round up post — sorry — there’s just been too much new stuff posted to keep up in individual posts. Below the fold: LapGirl’s superb art deco Retro Polka, the super classy, haute chic of Bonita and Bella by Liquid Velvet Studios, feminine mystique defined: Intimé by Dazzle, […]

In remembrance

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Today is Memorial Day in the United States, and although it’s mostly remembered as a three day weekend by many Americans, it’s really about remembering and honoring the memories of those loved ones who’ve passed. I want to take the opportunity to thank those who have served or are serving in the United States armed […]

Flexiprim hair picks

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Here are my three favorite flexiprim hair releases, so far, in no particular order: Elika Tiramisu’s Farfalla, Six Kennedy’s Celebrity (oh, you just knew I’d pick that one, didn’t ya?), and Sherona DeGroot’s Swooshie. Click for photos and commentary.
