Sunday, May 28th, 2006It’s official: flexiprims really are the new black. For better or worse, (mostly for the better, in my opinion) they’ve taken the Second Life fashion world by storm. Here are my top 4 flexiprim dress designs in no particular order: Sensual Casanova’s Sensual Idol, Simone Stern and Sherona DeGroot’s Josephine, Ginny Talamasca’s Deadly (in [...]
My celebrity face: Audrey Tatou
Saturday, May 27th, 2006I know, it’s one of those dreaded blog memes. Sorry! But it’s so much fun — I had to know.
I read it on New World Notes, Linden Lifestyles and Elika Tiramisu’s blog. It just so happens that I have a set of headshots I took for a feature story about Second Skin Labs (I [...]
Ysandre by Dazzle
Friday, May 26th, 2006I know there’s way more flexiprim goodies out there than I can possibly do justice with in an individual post, but I really wanted to highlight one of Ginny’s newest releases, the luscious Ysandre, which I like to describe as “boho meet the red carpet, red carpet, boho.”
This dress goes from rustic with its [...]
Carnival of links: Flexiprim hair
Friday, May 26th, 2006Today’s focus is on flexiprim hair. The new clothing classifieds are still on fire with new flexiprim designs — and they probably will be for several weeks to come. (More flexiprim clothing posts coming soon…)
When I first heard about flexiprims, one of the most exciting applications of them would be for hair. But after [...]
Interview: Devyn Grimm of Chaospire
Friday, May 26th, 2006Canimal Zephyr coaxed amazing digital artist Devyn Grimm of Chaospire into an interview at Pixel Pinup. This wide ranging interview covers Devyn’s history in Second Life, his background in digital art, his musical talent and his interest in designing a line of men’s wear. Sprinkled throughout the article are the incredible ad textures for [...]
Flexiprim skirts, one avatar’s opinion
Thursday, May 25th, 2006I have to admit that I love the way the flexible prims move with my avatar, whether she’s dancing, slinking, jumping or flying. But at this point, most of the flexible prim skirts I’ve seen and worn in world come as discreet pieces of fabric arrayed around my avatar’s waist, not one unified whole piece [...]
Flexiprim round up
Thursday, May 25th, 2006The 1.10 release has two amazing features (and a lot of lovely little UI tweaks): usable local lighting and 3 flexible prim shapes (no flexi torii, alas. Prim hair creators everywhere are very sad — but also very innovative — some flexihair is released already and some is still being developed — I spy my [...]
Changes to comments
Thursday, May 25th, 2006I’ve decided that I’ve been too restrictive with post comments, so I’ve opened them up a bit — you can comment on any post simply by using an email address. All the comments will be held until I approve them. That’s mostly to stop comment spam (blog spammers leave comments with embedded HTML links to [...]
Lashed Deity Series: Helena
Wednesday, May 24th, 2006Lash Xevious is back with a brand new hairstyle, Helena, the first release in a new line she calls “Deity.” I always marvel at the inspirational sources that Lash uses for her creations whether it’s her sculpture or her hairstyles. In the ad for Helena, that profile background shot reminds me very much of a [...]
Princessa Long Braid by Sparkle Skye
Wednesday, May 24th, 2006Sparkle Skye released the Princessa Long Braid style in several different colors. Naturally I love the flower attachment — they’re my kryptonite. I must also give a short “Hooray!” because the default position for bling is “off.” Sparkle writes at her blog:
I maybe eleminating some shades where I feel the differences are too subtle for [...]
Cute prim skirts and more at Digital Knickers
Wednesday, May 24th, 2006Astry Mirabeau, fresh off the build of her new store on a new private sim released several great new items this week, including two wonderful, sexy prim skirt designs including this black satin, cherry patterned design. So much to look at in this design from the deep red tulle petticoating to the cherry pattern stockings [...]
More jewelry and a set of dresses by Dazzle
Wednesday, May 24th, 2006Two fabulous new releases by Ginny Talamasca, my fashion crack dealer™. First is Cerise Tart, Ginny’s cheeky cherry jewelry design. I used the “box ad” for this because I was blown away by the detail on the barrel clasp for the necklace. As Ginny’s pointed out before, I am a total detail whore and also [...]
