Monday, September 25th, 2006I have two new weblogs to mention today.
Rebel Hope Designs, the official blog of Rebel Hope (which I mentioned in passing last week), and
X3D Apparel by Digit Darkes. Digit is a newer designer in SL, and she’s posted her Fall 2006 collection, but I’m sure there’s more to come.
That’s it for this week.
Mama’s got a brand new bag
Monday, September 25th, 2006So much to sum up with this post. I hope you can bare with me…
It was such a a busy fashion weekend. It seems workaholism abounds and all of the fabulous designers just can’t stop producing great stuff. If you missed the hair explosion this weekend, you’ll want to check out this post. I guarantee [...]
Sneak peek: New blog design
Monday, September 25th, 2006It was about four months ago when I converted this blog from “plus” to “pro” mostly to get an expanded bandwidth allowance. If recent traffic patterns hold, the blog should exceed 10 GB in total traffic this month! Wow, that’s a lot of data. Also, over the weekend, the 900th post was made [...]

Tutorial: Making great modeling photos
Sunday, September 24th, 2006Alaska Metropolitain brings us another fantastic tutorial. This time, it’s on how to compose good modeling shots for portfolios. She includes a strong admonition against doing heavy retouching on packaging and vendors, as it is deceptive to the customer. However, her tips are simple and straightforward and worth investigating if you have struggled with getting [...]
Week in Review 09.23.06: Jeans
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006I’m going to experiment with doing a weekly round-up of sorts that I will post each weekend. This first one will focus on jeans, which will probably be a frequent theme as we can never get a enough jeans and new ones come out all the time. But the weekend round-up may consist of shoes, [...]
Limited Edition at Silent Sparrow
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006With only 25 available, I barely have enough time to type this before I fear they will all be gone. It’s a beautiful, set even for someone like me whose tastes rarely lean toward goth or vamp. It’s stunning in the ad and definitely worth running for if you have fallen in love with any [...]
Yes. You need another tee shirt.
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006Update: I guess I was sleepy when I read this forum post, because I got the pricing info all wrong and I screwed up the disclosure info. Thank you, Willow, for straightening me out! I’ve updated the post with the correct info.
In SL as in RL it seems one can never have enough tee [...]

New Asian Shape at Skin Deep
Friday, September 22nd, 2006I just happened to run into Polly Pavlova of Skin Deep at Mischief yesterday (literally, I teleported onto her head). She was wearing this shape and skin and searching for a bikini to coordinate. Although we recently at the same gathering, I only saw her from across the room (and hardly anyone’s face rezzed for [...]
Back to Basics: The Perfect Neutral Pants
Friday, September 22nd, 2006Nessinger Loveless of TART has introduced a collection of midrise, straight leg pants in five, neutral colors. At L$95 each, they are an easy purchase. The pants are simple and tailored. I especially like the crease detail and the sublte play of light. If you own rayon-blend pants in RL, these have a similar appearance. [...]

Friday, September 22nd, 2006Update: Special thanks to Adri Saarinen. She contacted me in
world to model the the halter under a suit.Turns out I was right. Under the
correct blazer, the look was fantastic.Very Day-to-Night Barbie (for all you 80’s girls).
