The hunt is on...The Goal? A good skin for my boyfriend.
I TP'd to a shop and landed outside the entrance in the middle of STATIC! The inside of the shop was fine, quite normal, but the outside was .... see for yourself!
That is not a marble floor, it is static filled space! The off placed halo effect didn't show up when I was there, only in the pictures. The next shot is taken from inside the entrance looking out through the door into vast nothingness.
Can anyone recommend a good male skin?
Thirteen of my group slots are directly or indirectly associated with role play!! I have touched quite a few (read that as too many) subscribe/unsubscribe signs in shops. It would be discouraging to designers, but I look at all of the design names, then maybe glance at a third of the notices that greet me as I log on.
Occasionally I'll decide I need something to complete an outfit, or I need a particular sort of outfit and start mentally running down shops I am familiar with to decide where to go shopping.
I also read blogs when I get a chance. I'll read friends blogs first, then a few, very few, fashion blogs. Almost all of the time I shop via notices and blogs. If something strikes me, I will go check out the shop.
Yesterday I TP'd into a shop to pick up an item I had seen on a blog that is constantly updated. The lady who blogged it has her own blog and contributes to another. She is dedicated to bringing us a loads of wonderful shopping opportunities. Before I left, she happened to TP in. I said "Hi" and thanked her for her efforts.
Let's face it neither designers (unless they have a dedicated fan base and an active chat group) nor bloggers are thanked often enough compared to the hours of work they put in.
We chatted for a few minutes and said goodbye. Then much to my surprise I received an IM and an inventory offer from her! It was so little when it started rezzing, that I was afraid I had buried it in the sand.
Then what to my wondering eyes should appear but this cute little toy sheep in a space ship! What a delightful surprise!! It scoots around on it's own. I laughed and laughed. Totally unexpected and was sooo sweet of her!
This is gacya-ufo-sheep by dazai Voomf of D-LAB a talented toy maker. I don't see this one available for sale in his shop, but there are other cute toys and plants.
This is so much an RL fug that I couldn't believe I was seeing it; and I'm not sure I can describe it well enough for you to picture it.
Older lady wearing short shorts and a stretch (form fitting) short cami without the figure to pull it off. Four inches of bare skin in back and at least twelve inches in front. The truly bad part is that her profile shows a mis-shapened abdomen - not toned that then sagged or simply older gained weight without muscle tone. Her profile juts out at 60 degree angle under her breasts for several inches and then sharply juts back to the waist band of her shorts at a 45 degree angle. It is very unusual. And graced by an easily seen long vertical scar from surgery a few months ago. A top that went past her waistband would have been a more pleasing choice.
She came in for a band of stretch sequins to repair her belly dance costume.
I have known my landlady, Aly, for almost two years. She is a sweetheart. She is getting married in SL to the man who has held her heart for many years. I am excited for her and was eager to open the invitation.
This monster, is the wedding invitation!! The ceremony will be staged at Charming Beginnings. I chose the word staged, because if this invite is any indication, no other word will do!
It should have come with a warning to open it outdoors!
Wow! I've had so many hits today for an unknown, unpublicized blogger! Wonder why? Probably someone linked me for some reason! Maybe someone added me to their side bar of blogs they read. Hope they come back.
I wanted to post my RFL pictures last night, but I was just so wiped out. I haven't discovered how to make the layout of each post do what I want yet. Sometimes the pictures and text are just where I want them, and then there are the times they aren't.....
I need to find out how to make the site counter work right. It's recording people, but not the amount of time they spend on the site! A friend told me he had been on quite a while and read the whole thing and was down as 0 time! While other people have time listed next to their visit. *frowns* I'm confused
Everybody have a good week. Hugs and smiles all around :D
