Purple on Purple – Oh My!

kaylenamaria — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:35:11 +0000

Well it’s been a while since my last post but I finally got my computer working second life well enough that I could take decent photos without crashing every single time. It was such a pain but I’m back and all is right with the world. I recently came across this wonderful mini hunt (Dress Me Purple Hunt) that Purple Moon was sponsoring at their store and while I’m not a regular customer at this shop because it doesn’t usually fit the styles I’ve been gravitating to lately – I could not pass up great quality products for free. The Hunt ends April 15th so be sure to get these items while you can! Seriously, it would kill me to do so. I also nearly passed out when I heard that my favorite piercing store was going to be closing its doors for good but I was ecstatic to learn that they were having a close out sale on everything for 30 Lindens so that I could make sure to stock up before they say goodbye for good. Farewell my lovely :Hebenon Vial:. You will be sorely missed!

I wanted to do a quick post right now and am going to do a much longer one later on in the day or tomorrow since I am limited on time right now. I really wanted to share this awesome little outfit that I found on marketplace. It was only 99 lindens and I love a good bargain. This designer has a lot more bargain priced clothes and outfits. The outfit comes with top, skirt, shoes, and socks along with two different variations of the dress – one pink and one grey. You have to love variety.

Santa Pop Girl

I found this really hot outfit that was on promo sale while I was browsing on Marketplace – one of my fondest hobbies and wanted to share with everyone. This outfit comes with super cute skates and also a candy cane pouch that you can even wear after the holidays. I thought it was perfect for my inner neko! I think the quality of the outfit speaks for itself without me having to say much. The detail on this outfit is amazing and it’s soooo cute. I think the binky added a cute touch although I usually just go without it but I can’t tell you how many compliments I received when I wore this outfit! Enjoy!

Makeup: *Boom* Love my eyes Liner and Mascara (can’t see it but they are still hot!)

Okay so I recently got some great review items from one of my favorite stores – Beautiful Dirty Rich and wanted to do a quick post and share these latest goodies with you. It’s been quite a while since I was able to do a post and it’s getting late here so excuse the suddenness of the post. I’ll be adding some other new goodies later on this week so keep an eye out!

Skin: Al Vulo – Miha
Outfit: Beautiful Dirty Rich – Celebration Dress
Hair: >TRUTH< - Roxana Streaked – chocolate
Bracelet: Finesmith – Alexandra Bracelet
Shades: [ glow ] Studio designs – BlingBling Shades v 0.2 (TDR)

I love the neko fashion culture and how playful it is which is why I decided to include this next outfit in this post from BDR. It’s really cute and has a fun play on the Alice in Wonderland theme – one of my favorite stories as a kid.(The outfit name is pretty obvious – Alice in Wonderland! XD) If I’m not mistaken this is a hunt item that they are offering as a prize so you may want to check out their store to see what other goodies they have in store for you!

This One's for the Boys

Now this is such a long overdue post for the fashion conscious males of second life. I sincerely apologize for neglecting you and your interests in this creative world of fashion and am making up for it with three great outfits that are all under L$100 except for the skin which was L$300 if I’m not mistaken and came with an outfit of it’s own which I’m not displaying just for my personal taste. I have recently been exploring the world of male fashion and how you guys go about finding your great purchases. It felt a bit alien to me if I was to be honest and being in a male oriented store and stuffing all the male gift items made me feel even weirder. But that’s all in the past and it paid off because I came away with some great items. A few of these are hunt items, others are gifts, and others still are bargain finds from my time browsing and perusing the markeplace. Modeling Credits go to Tacitus Cortes. Thank yew for being my inspiration!

Today I planned a trip down Rodeo Drive for a little retail therapy. Shopping in SL has become one of my main priorities and jobs along with browsing the fashion blogs for any new goodies that I can find or new places that I had never heard before. It’s amazing that I find myself dressing up specially just to go shopping. Being in this fashion industry has certainly taken it’s toll but that’s no matter because I’m definitely not complaining! Here’s just glimpse of my day-to-day outfit out on the town. I love dressing in casual yet chic, modern and elegant clothes that give off an air of sophistication without being too stuffy and buttoned up.

Shoes: R.icielli – plastic set shoes (Previous TDR)

Movement into The Future of the SL Viewer

kaylenamaria — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 22:32:13 +0000

So there’s something that I wanted to discuss today and it seems like I’m not the only one with this issue and topic on the brain. If you haven’t heard yet let me be one of the first to fill you in right here, right now. Linden Labs has reported that they will be disabling the search in V1 based viewers. What does this mean to you as a user and resident? Well it’s quite simple, this will, in effect, cause all V1 viewers of LL or third party viewers to become pretty much useless and unusable. Why is LL forcing these changes on the residents when it has become clear that people are still not happy with the upgrades or satisfied with all the new changes even after a year of it’s initial release? One of the many reasons is that they are planning to introduce MESH into the grid in the coming months in rolling phases.

What is Mesh and how is it an improvement to your second life experience? Well this will not only cut down on the usage of prims and as a consequence the lag that we go through daily, it is also much friendlier to those with lower graphics cards. Take a look at the youtube video and it’s brief introduction on Mesh in second life.

A Brief Look at Second Life Mesh Support

So to those that have refused to go to team V2, it soon looks like you’ll have no choice. But wait! There have been some people that refuse to bow to low to these new changes and the Phoenix team is one of them as they recently have released their new Firestorm 2 Beta which is so good that it could be an official release. In my personal opinion Firestorm is a combination of everything I loved about v1 in phoenix and the old LL viewer along with v2. While you can’t change the look (although skins are available to change even if they are not stable at the moment) you can adjust and customize the interface much more than you could with the LL V2 viewer. Below I took a picture to give you a glimpse into the Firestorm Viewer.

Outfit Credits:

Dress: Crissy Designs – *Sonya* Denim
Shoes: P10 – Serenity Heels Denim (free)
Hair: Exile – Kumiko
Skin: [Al Vulo!] – Ninni Shine cocoa
Tattoo: [AvB] – Night Fever
Bracelets: BND – Black Ethnik bangles
Ring: [Mandala] – Milky Way ring & nail (ring only)

I liked the interface of the LL V2 viewer but I hated how it looked cluttered with the sidebar that would not go away. With the firestorm you still have the option of keeping the sidebar and the options can pup out at the sides or you can completely undock them like in the phoenix viewer. My favorite aspect of the 2.0 viewer is that the notices aren’t so noticeable! I always hated how it they would pop up and there was no way to hide them but not with the V2. The buttons below are customizable as well which is another thing to note. I can move them around or hide them with a simple click of the mouse as well as resize the chat bar however I want depending on how much I use it.

Another thing you may have noticed if you were looking closely enough was that Firestorm has an embedded Animation Override. Below you’ll find a tutorial on how to customize it however you need. I found that there were a few bugs when I sat down because it didn’t automatically switch to my sitting animation. Or it would switch to it and then pop back to my standing animation which annoyed the hell out of me and I’m starting to think it’s more trouble than it’s worth to even use it. Hopefully with the next release they will have fixed this problem.

Be sure to take a look a the videos below to get a better idea of all the different aspects they are offering in this release. I think this offers the best of both worlds in the V2 and V1 viewers. I also want to make a note that this is probably the most stable I have been in second life, especially compared with my previous use of the LL 2.0 viewer. I probably crash about 3 times a week, if that, and I’m definitely not using a high powered computer. It works so well that I actually run smoothly even when I move my graphic setting is moved to ultra for more than 15 minutes.
