Princess for a day
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006It’d been a while since I visited with Sparkle Skye, designer behind the Allure brand. Sparkle is probably best known for her incredibly detailed silks, but it seems as if lately she’s been working hard on a line of almost medieval inspired gowns.

Lusterous Prim Pearls and more
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006Elexor Matador was a jewelry designer I hadn’t known before, but he has been making fine jewelry within Second Life for a while — quietly and under the radar. “I didn’t really advertise consistently,” he told me last night. “Sometimes I’d post in the forums about a new release and sometimes not.

Monday, November 13th, 2006DoC Eldritch switched his blog from Blogger to his main design website over the weekend.

Wish fulfillment
Monday, November 13th, 2006In moments of my ill spent youth, I would sometimes be admonished to be careful what I wished for — I just might get it.

Why bling is hazardous to your frame rate
Monday, November 13th, 2006Relee Baysklef wrote on Hamlet’s open thread over the weekend:
I have a message for anyone who wears or creates Bling-effect jewelery.
Amatur Scripters created the popular bling scripts with the option to issue a vocal command, like “Bling Off” or “BO” which turns the shiny particle effect on and off.
This script creates a small amount of [...]
