I made a harp! Yeah I know... totally out of left field huh?<br />
<br />
So... what's gotten into me?! I have been working hard at creating new hairstyles, but had hit a rough spot in the design process as the last two wigs just didn't "feel" right when I got them done. While waiting to get suitably inspired I managed to injure my back working in the barn, and well, it just plain <i>hurt</i> to sit too long at the computer. That put a bit of a damper in my style... but now I'm back in the saddle and inspired to make something I've never attempted in all my years in virtual worlds... A harp!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOmFmYLgsYdy_BJ2oRk_8LMLBKoFd1MrdDldlo-f7GvfEc_OV3ZbJ-dFevNejZkQ1Y6uduNtES3HN7kj84kyfRHRskqmzfIZXJ-hO-iF2la5AWB6Ga-7dOX0xcNeyTAyIx9j6QXhai4mrd/s1600/Boudica%2527s+Harp+and+Chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOmFmYLgsYdy_BJ2oRk_8LMLBKoFd1MrdDldlo-f7GvfEc_OV3ZbJ-dFevNejZkQ1Y6uduNtES3HN7kj84kyfRHRskqmzfIZXJ-hO-iF2la5AWB6Ga-7dOX0xcNeyTAyIx9j6QXhai4mrd/s400/Boudica%2527s+Harp+and+Chair.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Gee a harp. That can't be hard right? Well it may look simple, but there are lots of little details like strings and pegs... with 36 each of those, well it's not easy to keep the total prim count down. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iWsAbS5fAJmvzd94cP1pYYgfylLjRUOuZ1rOJ0M-DyOKzTkjNhK4-2E-QLQlLVdf4Ar0MQiFfeYcxEtPjchpeLA5_Q2OqMs-n_uA1pLwsdeX43obmtO_9s34mcFwsHZXylZH-3vrh3KK/s1600/Through+the+Strings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iWsAbS5fAJmvzd94cP1pYYgfylLjRUOuZ1rOJ0M-DyOKzTkjNhK4-2E-QLQlLVdf4Ar0MQiFfeYcxEtPjchpeLA5_Q2OqMs-n_uA1pLwsdeX43obmtO_9s34mcFwsHZXylZH-3vrh3KK/s400/Through+the+Strings.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I managed to complete the harp, and a nice chair to sit on for a total of 114 prims. Woot! I wanted nice smooth curves and a rounded back soundbox. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfTEUWNzCknpsNn4VhlFjQ6ApJCIsqpSj63yfeKFw2wX1XgY6Xpuv4pBxXg27UKGyXRNH0fhqpeW5S8BBrAPehSCp6Mgyl1L-3_uNawE_6iPIw6DjU2qgnDc1cvziuOsXHoMgwhBTZtNd4/s1600/Harp+Shots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfTEUWNzCknpsNn4VhlFjQ6ApJCIsqpSj63yfeKFw2wX1XgY6Xpuv4pBxXg27UKGyXRNH0fhqpeW5S8BBrAPehSCp6Mgyl1L-3_uNawE_6iPIw6DjU2qgnDc1cvziuOsXHoMgwhBTZtNd4/s400/Harp+Shots.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Not as easy to make as it was to imagine, because I like a bit of the realistic approach. My soundbox had to be hollow, and it had to show the strings poking through, and I wanted nice oval shaped access holes in the back for changing strings. Now, I just need to figure out how to do a sound loop and add some of my original music into it, but that will be down the road. And I need a good harp playing animation...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQG3wfJNMuvqtZ_ILcZX2J155vFBDAiPAymwfu6opy3MofSZ193f7tQ26u1p6p_h9lsCNvh9jrEPZnceDNK7pYSrZOpZRFOEsOSbaEYaISpzFWv6Zu2u_hG9rgFjXZWbcJPzi7yhyphenhyphenrdi75/s1600/Soundbox+Details.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQG3wfJNMuvqtZ_ILcZX2J155vFBDAiPAymwfu6opy3MofSZ193f7tQ26u1p6p_h9lsCNvh9jrEPZnceDNK7pYSrZOpZRFOEsOSbaEYaISpzFWv6Zu2u_hG9rgFjXZWbcJPzi7yhyphenhyphenrdi75/s400/Soundbox+Details.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>So, having been a Celtic Harpist in real life for over half my life, why did I never make a harp back in Second Life? Mostly because of the prim limit. I was usually only able to afford a 512 sq meter lot, which allows only 117 prims. At a total of 114 prims for the harp and chair, that would eat up a big portion of the prim budget. Have harp, who needs house! <br />
<br />
That's one of the great things I love most about <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a> and opensim grids... the higher amount of prims we get to play with! Another thing I love, besides the clothes and fashion... is that we can open up a shop or business on a shoestring, literally pulling it out of <i>thin air</i>. It's just a dream waiting to happen for anyone with a creative bone in their body. And with no upload fees, it's great for people just starting out or wanting to try something new without a huge expense.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXO05bbkle9U5DS7j3_PCq05Pt8pIdJqe8cbX9g3wNjSbTswRFc76RqKFiFpHRkDMPRweTxkdM22HeBOAb99MIYNoSR4yPtywCY3sqhQR5ndbVHfGBk5ZrlFrW0RK2EWUHt561biSth7gE/s1600/Harp+and+Nook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXO05bbkle9U5DS7j3_PCq05Pt8pIdJqe8cbX9g3wNjSbTswRFc76RqKFiFpHRkDMPRweTxkdM22HeBOAb99MIYNoSR4yPtywCY3sqhQR5ndbVHfGBk5ZrlFrW0RK2EWUHt561biSth7gE/s400/Harp+and+Nook.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Here I am wearing the gorgeous Valdora gown by Boaz Sands of Simply Fae, standing next to my new harp, and toying with the idea of opening up an odds 'n ends store called "The Nookery" where I will get to play with some of my more oddball ideas that don't fit into either my other shops. And yes, I am wearing men's hair again. I don't know why I've been on this tom-boy kick. Must be the hot summer temperatures. I just love how playful I feel wearing it, and and yet still feminine.<br />
<br />
So that's it for this little peek into the nooks and crannies of Boudica's very diverse mind. Hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you next time!<br />

RL has been plowing ahead full steam so I have not been able to log in much this week, but when I saw the word come across the wire that Stellar had a new group gift out I hurried over to grab it and share with y'all. That's right, I said y'all. I'm feeling spunky today. <br />

If you hurry you can get your own pair but they're only out on July 4th, at the Stellar <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Emsland/189/118/22">Mainstore on Emsland</a>. While you're there, why not go whole hog and get the great sneakers and baseball shirt as well. I've always loved and admired Lexi's talent and touch with details. <br />
<br />
And now on a more serious note.... to all my friends in the United States, wishing you a very happy Independence Day. I'm thankful for the multitude of freedoms we still have, but also this year more than others, aware of so many of our friends around the world that are losing their freedoms. Be thankful for what you have and remember how you got it.<br />
<br />
Paraphrasing a quote that my boyfriend recently shared with me, from one of the more historically insightful moments: <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">"I will always love the elusive dream of our nations founders.... freedom coupled with spiritually aware responsibility to self and others, and no ruling class... How do we spend our spiritual energy and to whom do we pledge our sacred honor? If anyone is unhappy with some part of our society we are given 4 "boxes" to change it.... The Soap box, The Ballot box, The Jury box, and if those fail.. The Cartridge box! Happy Independence Day my fellow Americans. May we never need to use that last box!"</div><br />

Here's a machinima of the special project I've been working on. I made all the hair in this video!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/fWfCLccqDOs?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
Not only have I been exploring in a re-creation of the Medieval City of Rhodes and making hair for a really great project working with the Kingdom of Demolay creative team, but they've just come out with a machinima trailer highlighting everything we've been working on. <br />
<br />
It was fun being part of the actors in the making of the video. At one point I was a young teen man roller-skating around the piano in the park concert scene. Another time I was the goalie in the soccer scene. Go Yellow! Also played the skateboarding girl in the pac-man-esque hedge maze game. I think we all had way too much fun helping put this together, but all the machinima credit goes to Ariella Furman of <a href="http://framedin3d.com/">FramedIn3D.com</a> who did a fabulous job on it! You can see more examples of Ariella's work here: <a href="http://framedin3d.com/view_our_work.php">http://framedin3d.com/view_our_work.php</a>. I especially like the video she produced for <a href="http://vimeo.com/12342355">Tribe Islands</a>. Wow!<br />
<br />
So since we're going through the virtual video scrapbook, I figured I'd also share a few of my sightseeing pics that I took yesterday after I finally got my imprudence to let me see shadows! Woot!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How does all this sight-seeing relate to fashion? Well aside from the hair that is (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_hELAEJa90&feature=player_embedded">check the video!</a>), fashion is small portion of our virtual experiences. Yes, it is part of how we express ourselves, but in and of itself it is nothing without the actors, the audience, and the stage on which we all play upon. Here's to all the stage-makers, the dreamers of dreams, and the creators of worlds. My hat's off to you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Today I chanced upon a lovely gown at Evie's Closet that was only 50I'z. I nearly scattered the contents of my coin-purse in my flurry to procure the tiny amount of requested cents. Ladies, if you are looking for a lovely gown for your wanderings and roleplay, you might wish to saunter over to Evie's Closet on the Big Blue Easy sim in <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a> to find Rowena. The gown comes in White or Black with beautiful white embroidery on the bodice and long flowing ethereal sleeves.<br />

I will be working on colorizing these into many shades and adding them to the queue for the new Destiny Hair shop opening soon in InWorldz. <br />
<br />
First is James, a mid-length wavy style:<br />

Try as I might, it turns out I just couldn't get my InWorldz hairstyles to export to the other grid (perhaps my very slow DSL internet connection). So after about a week of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, I suddenly got the brilliant idea to just make new styles! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8wBdcXT2ur1K1KedqnBI_pA4Y2Ycr23rzkicmaucGzD4WSX9-e7HASdV_WpHRsVOWXitApxtoJZvSgrtX8UsJ92qOxvka13njjoYLYqve-YBCYKvQgBS198pmrV0eCxw4PZOrzKEU7BWP/s1600/Willow+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8wBdcXT2ur1K1KedqnBI_pA4Y2Ycr23rzkicmaucGzD4WSX9-e7HASdV_WpHRsVOWXitApxtoJZvSgrtX8UsJ92qOxvka13njjoYLYqve-YBCYKvQgBS198pmrV0eCxw4PZOrzKEU7BWP/s400/Willow+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
So far they're going over well, and I'm expanding my skills and really getting into the theme of a medieval city and styles that might fit in better there. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-xb2S-DqDrTjRX8ZgeIONCyHXy9nhQebKanlCnXvhWT0HGPOg4jLiSuhWmX-Rtn6zvX8bBoLRKlXgD2cD_BmSAjK2ICIdGw3NwKSQix-Sjz-_fghrBozHm3HYJ7cuMRKvt4BHTKG1niF/s1600/Willow+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-xb2S-DqDrTjRX8ZgeIONCyHXy9nhQebKanlCnXvhWT0HGPOg4jLiSuhWmX-Rtn6zvX8bBoLRKlXgD2cD_BmSAjK2ICIdGw3NwKSQix-Sjz-_fghrBozHm3HYJ7cuMRKvt4BHTKG1niF/s400/Willow+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
So this past week, I've made four new styles! If all goes well I'll figure out a way to import them back to InWorldz and share them with everyone. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYiOuiRKsHHhO00kMgEOrf9uhJNOAO9ySa7B9hlmsD5FRrweEoHo2qCVqQW9Vl-OH3EJP5SS_rTdo3Ipxefw6IRCmmWUYCy5CLUOz5SMjM2v661cBfghJ-VvyRsyPPpnQna0R37BgPTnk2/s1600/Guinevere+Hair+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYiOuiRKsHHhO00kMgEOrf9uhJNOAO9ySa7B9hlmsD5FRrweEoHo2qCVqQW9Vl-OH3EJP5SS_rTdo3Ipxefw6IRCmmWUYCy5CLUOz5SMjM2v661cBfghJ-VvyRsyPPpnQna0R37BgPTnk2/s400/Guinevere+Hair+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> When I come up for air and sneak out of my studio, it's great to get to explore take in the sights.<br />

If you want to see more about the Kingdom of DeMolay grid and project, you can see some fabulous pictures of the build taken by RJ Kikuchiyo of <a href="http://www.renecote.com/kiku/">Kiku*Craft</a>, who is the main force behind all the authentic buildings and reproductions. Some amazing talent! Pictures <a href="http://www.renecote.com/kiku/?p=2231">here</a>,<a href="http://www.renecote.com/kiku/?p=2121"> here</a>, <a href="http://www.renecote.com/kiku/?p=2083">here</a> and <a href="http://www.renecote.com/kiku/?p=2051">here</a>. Or you can read more about it <a href="http://metaversesailing.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/hypergrid-sailor-ii/">here</a> on Metaverse Sailing.<br />
<br />
The project is coming along great, and I've really been enjoying my little artisan vacation, playing tourist in the medieval city of Rhodes while I've been away from InWorldz. It has brought a new perspective to my work, a breath of fresh air, and I've enjoyed meeting and working with another great group of talented people.<br />
<br />
Enjoying the Journey...<br />

For those that do not know, I have recently begun to create hair, with the intention of opening a new hair shop in <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a>. I've had a bit of a learning curve, learning how to make every bit of my styles from scratch, including all my own textures, taken from photos of my own hair, and all my own sculpts. <br />
<br />
Having never made hair before, it's been quite a learning experience, and I've found that it's much much harder than it looks! For instance, in order for me to recolor any of my styles to other shades, it would be impossible for me to manually do this. With all the alpha sides, especially on my flexi tendrils, it would be a nightmare to even try to recolor one style, much less recoloring it in the 24 shades that I have created so far.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8NsLIvU_impRx4uGlSkvkteXFvLZLgcSmjq_VJiDnAclRaPCBjXPHOEhEb-X3-34zMJQ6bavWu_yZ1Nb3cXUsUCX9tjzKgLbzFCjsDJRyajmc6kgQsKULcv-hz7xrEsO-xKapR4jb4qG/s1600/Destiny+Hair+-+Leah+Ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8NsLIvU_impRx4uGlSkvkteXFvLZLgcSmjq_VJiDnAclRaPCBjXPHOEhEb-X3-34zMJQ6bavWu_yZ1Nb3cXUsUCX9tjzKgLbzFCjsDJRyajmc6kgQsKULcv-hz7xrEsO-xKapR4jb4qG/s640/Destiny+Hair+-+Leah+Ad.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />
So about a month ago I enlisted the help of Anna Debruyere, who if you have not heard of yet, is the great mind behind the <a href="http://theinbiz.com/">InBiz</a> unofficial InWorldz Business Directory, as well as the Exclipsex ATM system. She was such a delight to work with, and even walked me through some very basic things I had not known about how to find a face on a prim, and how to find my texture UUID's, to help me in configuring the script/notecard system she created. If you ever need some script-work done, I highly recommend Anna, and Eclipse Scriptworks! Please tell her I sent you.<br />
<br />
Well, procrastinator that I am, I didn't get around to recoloring the 3 styles that I had created in the months prior, and the new male style that I just finished. So I've been working busily away on those this past week, in anticipation of finishing the "Teen Hair Project" I've been working on for another Opensim grid. My deadline moved forward by about a month, due to an event they are holding this weekend, so I've been rushing to complete at least those 4 styles and ads done so they had something to offer their teens and new advisors on this grid.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8VlS7gM80tT_-lmeVk2kEWa7mOu0W1_Y3JEhqz9Qxt_vcYQ7SysXek3v3fNH04ANV6gO08nbjvLdJblPvpKN_ubMbhW6HjharHjXsfq40PnoVS2WIiI-YMbASMn4QOnbktJR9FQEbR6Nh/s1600/Destiny+Hair+-+Kord+female+Ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8VlS7gM80tT_-lmeVk2kEWa7mOu0W1_Y3JEhqz9Qxt_vcYQ7SysXek3v3fNH04ANV6gO08nbjvLdJblPvpKN_ubMbhW6HjharHjXsfq40PnoVS2WIiI-YMbASMn4QOnbktJR9FQEbR6Nh/s640/Destiny+Hair+-+Kord+female+Ad.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />
"What grid," I hear you all asking. Well some of you had a sneak-peek at it a few weeks ago, when Jane Fosset wrote about it in her blog post <a href="http://metaversesailing.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/hypergrid-sailor-ii/">Hypergrid Sailor II</a> on her <a href="http://metaversesailing.wordpress.com/">Metaverse Sailing</a> blog. It's really a rather incredible build, with a great group of builders working hard to bring it all to life, and I'm delighted to be working with them, even if only in a small way, by creating some of the hair styles that they'll be offering free to their teens and residents.<br />
<br />
I should have known not to do the bulk of my work on Friday the 13th. It was one major technical problem after another, compounding into quite a mess, and as of right now I still have zero styles moved over successfully to this other grid to show for all the effort. It's more than a little disheartening. But, it's a learning experience, and for that I am grateful.<br />
<br />
To top off my already discouraged feeling, I just logged into my Blogger account to find that my new "<a href="http://destinyhair.blogspot.com/">Destiny Hair</a>" site that I just created a few days ago <b>has been removed</b>. Now, I don't know how these things are usually done, having never lost a blog before, but not to receive any notification in my email and to leave me just hanging on a question, "Why?" is just a little too much for me to handle at this time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKIOtxoHHpQC20y994wWorkEX0ujPlMnmvUAyGYAjj-nLEjPxyw7ZSDq1mAwXINB447Ypit3JtfTenY9dGlCyM32QaysY5iWcS1bszrHYfVJrHPhhwInvW9eYV5FSuccl0x4YQWqbOHP3T/s1600/Destiny+Hair+-+Cyndra+Ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKIOtxoHHpQC20y994wWorkEX0ujPlMnmvUAyGYAjj-nLEjPxyw7ZSDq1mAwXINB447Ypit3JtfTenY9dGlCyM32QaysY5iWcS1bszrHYfVJrHPhhwInvW9eYV5FSuccl0x4YQWqbOHP3T/s640/Destiny+Hair+-+Cyndra+Ad.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />
So, while I get all these things sorted out and complete my task of importing my 4 newbie starter hairs over to the other grid, I'll have my hands quite full and will not be doing much in the way of posting on this site. My goal is to determine what's going on with the import/export issues and move those styles over within the next few days, then work on the other 4 styles that I would like to have completed for that grid, in all 24 colors, and then *finally* get my Destiny Hair shop open here in InWorldz, before my birthday on June 7th. If all goes well!<br />
<br />
Here's just a little sneak peek at the styles, in case you missed them before my new hair blog was taken down. I'm new at this, I'm learning, and hopefully growing into something that people will enjoy wearing. I want to make people happy. Perhaps a bit too much of the "people-pleaser" in me. So if you see me making something that's just "Ew!" please let me know, and I'll do my best to learn and improve. Thanks!<br />

Well, it's almost midnight here and I've been rambling on, so I'll leave you with my sincerest wishes for good times, wonderful memories, and a most enjoyable virtual experience, wherever you are and whichever virtual world you are playing in at the moment. <br />

Unlike most commercial malls, Harvest Moon strives to preserve the natural landscape and incorporates trails, parks and events, and viewing areas into a design that blurs the line between virtual and reality. <br />

Feel the breeze as it whispers through tall pine trees. Listen to the rush of waterfalls and let the fresh ocean air invigorate you as you explore the pathways winding through the meadow, across rivers, and from shop to shop as you smell the flowers, and delight in birds and butterflies fluttering about. <br />

<br />
There are many pleasant nooks and relaxing seating areas to enjoy yourself with friends, including the thoughtfully designed Daily Grind coffee shop, which is an ideal place for cozy concerts and starting or ending your day in style, or simply relaxing between adventures.<br />

Several beautiful shops have become available at Harvest Moon, in both the Harvest Ridge village boardwalk shops, and also the Grandridge Town Center shops.<br />
<br />
At Grandridge we have one stunning large corner shop, perfect for a main store, or outlet location (I'z $400/wk - 500 prims). There is also one Medium shop (I'z $280/wk - 350 prims), and two small shops at only I'z $150/wk - 200 prims. <br />

<br />
On the Boardwalk, and right off the pathway from the Wish hair mainstore, there are two delightful seaside shops available (I'z $150/wk - 200 prims).<br />

Locate your shop among one of the finest shopping destination locations in InWorldz.<br />
Harvest Moon - It's more than just a place to shop, it's a place to relax, to unwind. It's home.<br />

</tbody></table>With much anticipation I awaited the date of the Southern Belle Fashion Show, to be held in <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a>, and produced by Allure Modeling Agency. I had heard of the fashion show, sponsored by Rowland Larkham of "Morning Coffee" through several <a href="http://inworldzfriends.com/xn/detail/6380321:Event:12402?xg_source=activity%5Cr%5Cnand">group announcments</a>, <a href="http://www.iwnn.net/6/post/2011/04/fashion-show-to-be-held-on-may-1st.html">blog posts</a>, and also through a friend of mine who's gowns would be featured in the event.<br />

</tbody></table>Apparently, there was a bit of lag, commotion, crashes, and last-minute changes of venue before I arrived, as reported <a href="http://www.iwnn.net/7/post/2011/05/opinion-piece-i-want-to-see-a-fashion-show.html">here</a> by Scarlett Qi of<a href="http://www.iwnn.net/"> InWorldz Network News</a>. I cannot say that my experience was near as bad as hers sounded.<br />
<br />
When I arrived the lag was fairly minimal, with the models taking it all in stride with poise and confidence, though they had to walk through the stage rather than on it, and at times needed to float above it. I was impressed at how cool and level-headed the production was, with encouraging and smooth announcements by Raven Dulce, CEO of Allure Modeling Agency.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Unable to both walk and chew gum at the same time, I found myself struggling to both take pictures, and keep notes on who was wearing what, by which designer, as the chat flew by. As soon as I track down the names of designers for the other gowns, I will add credit to the captions. Apologies in advance to the Designers, and thank you again to Raven Dulce and Allure Modeling Agency, for another engaging and professionally done show. Bravo!<br />
<br />
It all seemed to go by so quickly, in a rush of swishing gowns, mysterious glances, and flourishing grace. I regret missing the other lovely designs that started the show, but I hope my photos help bring to life for you a most pleasurable day, in the spell of the Southern Belle.<br />

The plans made, notes passed, arrangements made, agreements whispered. It was the day of Beltaine celebrations across the grid, but unbeknownst to our lovely fae friend Leanna, it was also the day that her sweetheart had planned a magical surprise birthday party for her!<br />
<br />
Bradd Laval went through every effort to create a magical experience for his lady love, Leanna. The setting was upon the serene shoreline of Atlantis, dancing upon the sparkling waters upon partially submerged mosaic floors. He hired Prowess Rayna to perform the magical music that Leanna so much loved, and she waited patiently beside her piano while the guests arrived.<br />
<br />
When the time arrived, *boom!* teleport after teleport of friends bringing friends all to surprise Leanna and wish her a happy birthday. She fainted with surprise! If it were not for the swift and steady reflexes of Bradd, she might have fallen into the sea and surely put a swift end to the celebrating.<br />
<br />
One by one they arrived, bright smiles and hugs and lavishing of gifts to the stunned and deer-in-the-headlights Leanna. I am not sure when she realized that Prowess was there to play a concert just for her. Could be about the time of the second thud, as she fainted once again. I can't be sure though, so don't quote me on it.<br />
<br />
The music wove a delicate tapestry more felt than seen, as dancers swayed and twirled, margaritas tipped, champagne sipped, and cheesecake and other culinary delights ooohed and ahhed upon, when suddenly, a voice stronger than the heavens, and yet more gentle than the caress of breeze upon blossoms echoed. It was the strong and yet vulnerable voice of a god, and yet a man, professing his heart for his beloved Leanna. It was the sharing and the offering of self, and the questioning of acceptance. It was Bradd, asking Leanna to be his partner!<br />
<br />
As thuds sounded around the room, the sound of jaws dropping, one could also hear the growing pound a heart, coming from the diminuitive and incredibly beautiful Leanna. None had such an idea that a fae's heart could beat so strongly! But there it was, echoing the sound of waves crashing to shore, as her sparkling eyes looked up to his, and hands clasped hands in a rush of pure joy with actions that spoke louder than words. It was her voice answering his, her heart matching his own as she accepted!<br />

And then they dance! Oh! How they danced! Feet barely skimming over the waters, as cascades of emotion and waves of delicate music danced with them, hovering over the waters of Atlantis. Twas a joy to behold! <br />

Some days you just want to kick back, get comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, and a nice comfortable pair of shoes. I mean, we can't run around wearing ballgowns and high fashion every day, now can we? Well yes, we can! But I was up for a change and nothing in my closet was calling me, so I went shopping! Nothing new there right? Here's what I found...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZagZD1yidzAYaQDKnu5VbvsE7MPJGA7ExA0Y26b7yb2XOOvFBK9noNhNa7pT4eRoZYRFRgKPIuYdeH8-6xvnTriitIZQBozU_Z_ifmVoXt-6VwqPbSPBMM6Km2Xfwc7Oh4aI1Wj72fk/s1600/Comfort+Rolled+Up+Jeans.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZagZD1yidzAYaQDKnu5VbvsE7MPJGA7ExA0Y26b7yb2XOOvFBK9noNhNa7pT4eRoZYRFRgKPIuYdeH8-6xvnTriitIZQBozU_Z_ifmVoXt-6VwqPbSPBMM6Km2Xfwc7Oh4aI1Wj72fk/s400/Comfort+Rolled+Up+Jeans.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
While out and about, I found a great pair of jeans at <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Champagne%20Love/16/221/2302">Comfort Clothes</a>, and the pretty lavender top, and also picked up a pair of denim flats. The shirt has lovely shading and cute little buttons in front, and the jeans are nicely textured and come in a long or capri-length style with sculpted cuffs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTLbTaRGB2u1sg_Fkx_2qnmCJ2rV7C-ZYcABqaXsTzFZbAIG4omPVd9pLZSh_6ebonUXJMy4AVFhpyK2Y-3PFfvWM5DoQorwxiK1SPhMULP2xHEWH_-cLLr2ntqRch7LzOxghGXc-xsYk/s1600/Comfort+Denim+Flats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTLbTaRGB2u1sg_Fkx_2qnmCJ2rV7C-ZYcABqaXsTzFZbAIG4omPVd9pLZSh_6ebonUXJMy4AVFhpyK2Y-3PFfvWM5DoQorwxiK1SPhMULP2xHEWH_-cLLr2ntqRch7LzOxghGXc-xsYk/s400/Comfort+Denim+Flats.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Ahh, feeling much better already! So did that stop me from shopping more? No, I'm afraid not. But here's the good part! I stumbled on a little gem of a shop called <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Apocalypse/198/18/22">Trippe'n</a> and here's where things get all exciting! Flats, flats, flats, wedges, pumps, boots, clogs, oh so many fun things and all for just pennies! And there is a good scattering of free and group gifts around the store, just take a look when you're there.<br />

I met the lovely Tia Trippe at the shop, who dropped by to thank me for my purchase and ask if I needed help with anything. It was then that I spied the stairs to the second level, where the animations are! I tripped up those stairs so fast I put the road-runner to shame, and oh my, if you've been wearing a tired old AO and you want to update some of your poses, this is the place to be! For only 10-20 I'z a pop, I grabbed them up so fast it was starting to sound like a casino in there. Be sure to look for the little freebie box of poses from March that's still there. Shhh I don't think she knows. Hurry!<br />
<br />
Tia graciously informed me that these introductory prices will be going up after May 1st! So do what you can to rush over there and snag some incredible deals. And even after May 1st, prices will be higher, but she also told me that nothing in the shop will be over 100 I'z. Thank you Tia! She is also able to do custom animations, so tuck that bit of info away if you think you might have need of that, I know I did! All poses shown today are by Tia.<br />

All in all, it was a Tripp'n fantastic day, and I'm giddy with the infusion of new fun shoes to my closet. Keep an eye out at<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Apocalypse/198/18/22"> Trippe'n</a> for more fun deals to come, and if you join her update group, she has a pair of clogs coming out as a free gift tomorrow! \0/<br />

I hope there's something here you enjoy! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRifBKSRdqeo48_2233PbLDce166M0XJHUiICwjc7uHoZ1mVUALHFCNOFO25Cr95ZkH3Lx4k2neEljtYJs44qEGO_Q_-2I73bUcfeAIK27G0Oes-tP4WCaXyLBykQCyqp5zt2TanzFLr3/s1600/Prowess+Rayna+Concert+InWorldz+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRifBKSRdqeo48_2233PbLDce166M0XJHUiICwjc7uHoZ1mVUALHFCNOFO25Cr95ZkH3Lx4k2neEljtYJs44qEGO_Q_-2I73bUcfeAIK27G0Oes-tP4WCaXyLBykQCyqp5zt2TanzFLr3/s400/Prowess+Rayna+Concert+InWorldz+7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I don't mean to get all superfluous with my descriptions, but truly, Prowess' music is beyond description. Hers is an art to be experienced live, and an experience from which you emerge somehow changed, more beautiful.... Truly Enchanted.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh72IQVSn_5LqQWCM12z8PWBzVUBEusQy40wpw0_0EiAlDFNMZeA-jy7qXX0Z-qMVUZ9iPNzxa5AwQd30PIbxiDxzKkOMUaw0zjUollBewNw8F4uT_vrNJO-GDPn1DCtYjNvvbszYq8Z-8z/s1600/Prowess+Rayna+Concert+InWorldz+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh72IQVSn_5LqQWCM12z8PWBzVUBEusQy40wpw0_0EiAlDFNMZeA-jy7qXX0Z-qMVUZ9iPNzxa5AwQd30PIbxiDxzKkOMUaw0zjUollBewNw8F4uT_vrNJO-GDPn1DCtYjNvvbszYq8Z-8z/s400/Prowess+Rayna+Concert+InWorldz+9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
If you have the opportunity to listen to her perform live, I highly recommend you do! Her art and talent with the piano set such a healing and ethereal mood.<br />

This time, I was sitting around the fire at Midsomer in <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a> on Monday with Leanna talking about how I wanted to make a new dress. We got to talking about flowers, and I was pretty sure the design I wanted to do would be springy and flowery. <br />
<br />
While chatting about fabric options, I came up with the bright idea of just wandering out into my yard and snapping a pic of some flowers and making my own fabric. I mean, how hard can this be right? So, here we go, flowers. Now.... how to make a dress from this? I loaded it into Gimp then went wild with applying filters until I had a springy floral print in a nice blue color.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJdzV0AHyTGHpMgFExf-z8LHnIu-7_1baya3qs8IV4wyKTcNY-daqoFMLNMoDqfkqRK1MQmWZtkSRj6iwxrpEiMwDUUN4m3KaGfvk3nZeXUAJkRmXynBkWfUaCwHULWzLNDI8RUXxOZnm/s1600/Flowers+from+the+yard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJdzV0AHyTGHpMgFExf-z8LHnIu-7_1baya3qs8IV4wyKTcNY-daqoFMLNMoDqfkqRK1MQmWZtkSRj6iwxrpEiMwDUUN4m3KaGfvk3nZeXUAJkRmXynBkWfUaCwHULWzLNDI8RUXxOZnm/s320/Flowers+from+the+yard.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
If you think taking a pic and turning that into digital fabric, and then making a virtual dress out of that is easy, I suppose it could be. being a do-it-yourself dressmaker has its good points, but it's also rife with a mess of mistakes and do-overs and not much to show for yourself during the in-between times. So yeah, that's pretty much what I've been up to. A whole lot of mistakes and do-overs. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcsez9WF0sY2uC2XAOPhAexSfP11THOw4JJwW6nHwQCI_8tZgiuDhorBxOi5VCIXB6bZgUlYH7u8S-8qGju_tLyu9cpAe3yXWeyeCYWhJbDzO1LNeNVbHxLI5W4GQJUl_XHp9ReKt2VSFW/s1600/Fleur+-+not+quite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcsez9WF0sY2uC2XAOPhAexSfP11THOw4JJwW6nHwQCI_8tZgiuDhorBxOi5VCIXB6bZgUlYH7u8S-8qGju_tLyu9cpAe3yXWeyeCYWhJbDzO1LNeNVbHxLI5W4GQJUl_XHp9ReKt2VSFW/s320/Fleur+-+not+quite.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The first attempt at fabric came out pretty decent, untill I messed it up doing the shading for fabric folds. I was going for this gauzy gathered at the shoulders roman goddess kind of look. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZh4JlZ_DKbrjkj-2GwMex-3UdTiFReMvYRRnhaaP5DNBPM0OmILPO_AWqsUAqWqhtoW2qBuHtmytm7O0VH788qQMNTOwjS19S-ehgQY8z2ykW0-MFsPthhcofBzzZ2XNHznHuwUWK82kB/s1600/Fleur+Fabric+Test+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZh4JlZ_DKbrjkj-2GwMex-3UdTiFReMvYRRnhaaP5DNBPM0OmILPO_AWqsUAqWqhtoW2qBuHtmytm7O0VH788qQMNTOwjS19S-ehgQY8z2ykW0-MFsPthhcofBzzZ2XNHznHuwUWK82kB/s320/Fleur+Fabric+Test+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Hmm... not even close. In fact, this attempt almost made me completely run for the hills, throw away the keys to my shop and give up on digital fashion design. Ugh.... not pretty!<br />
<br />
So back to the drawing board! I completely scrapped that top, played around with colors a bit, and started with a new design, this time a midriff baring, long sleeve, gauzy top tied at the front.Getting closer!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnrx6Du1jeHMkr0QGximZmInD2MSQMAXLCHhWhTCgkO0IHeqlIZCd4TUwPncr4xdopKQ8CpduLE-YghGiunDfkhg3-kHPvy5weK0HZbxN7qxoyOh2KZcm7UfEYeR5G6W5PegYbaDRAMc9/s1600/Fleur+Take+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnrx6Du1jeHMkr0QGximZmInD2MSQMAXLCHhWhTCgkO0IHeqlIZCd4TUwPncr4xdopKQ8CpduLE-YghGiunDfkhg3-kHPvy5weK0HZbxN7qxoyOh2KZcm7UfEYeR5G6W5PegYbaDRAMc9/s320/Fleur+Take+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I like the overall feel and shape of this top, but it needs a lot more work on the shading to make it look and feel more realistic. The elbow creases for instance, way too dark, but I'm beginning to really like where this is going. I played with the hem of the skirt fabric, not wanting a boring straight line, but a subtle wavy hemmed edge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhln0J_ogDeGuJBw1E6RRmdPUkwT5pNzrpqq8JICTWQHgQ1cfKdMXud9rkhS21Y-_I2Az6rNUbEYBAG5OyBtRnMhZiIFlzQAl0RzxJKRxWymrbbAxi_mGgUWIqrxl-xHwozAQTXMYlAUTPp/s1600/Fleur+2+-+Baby+got+Back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhln0J_ogDeGuJBw1E6RRmdPUkwT5pNzrpqq8JICTWQHgQ1cfKdMXud9rkhS21Y-_I2Az6rNUbEYBAG5OyBtRnMhZiIFlzQAl0RzxJKRxWymrbbAxi_mGgUWIqrxl-xHwozAQTXMYlAUTPp/s320/Fleur+2+-+Baby+got+Back.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Good so far, except now I've got the dreaded "alpha" issues to deal with. Hmm, not sure how to fix that so it may be awhile until this dress is finally done. You can see in the picture below what I mean, where you can see the "edges" of the other skirt panels showing through because of alpha issues (If there's anyone out there that knows how to fix this when using an alpha texture, please let me know!). I may just end up taking the texture back to a boring flat bottomed line, but ugh, not if I don't have to.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrrhN-QYj933txly0hQ4HPMA20ivsEmb1o16rYb0Iml80MklSw3_urfjhWsExJcWzUEzLiVwk5YsXZmqjeOEGqRsBA4VHg69W0txJzYaaL9HN3INxH-1YtpqIETYN33UozC2uEBEWnnHn/s1600/Fleur+Skirt+Alpha+Issues.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrrhN-QYj933txly0hQ4HPMA20ivsEmb1o16rYb0Iml80MklSw3_urfjhWsExJcWzUEzLiVwk5YsXZmqjeOEGqRsBA4VHg69W0txJzYaaL9HN3INxH-1YtpqIETYN33UozC2uEBEWnnHn/s320/Fleur+Skirt+Alpha+Issues.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ok, so I thought, why don't I try a sculpted skirt. I like this idea! Well at first anyway. It wipes out the dreaded "butt crack of doom" issue that you get when making a flexi skirt over a pant layer. Why not use a system skirt you ask? Because in all the 4 years I've been in virtual worlds, I've always HATED the big butted waist-gaping system skirts common in SL and most other virtual worlds. I refuse to buy them from vendors, (yeah, that means Nicky Ree, much as I love her designs, please drop the system skirt) and I sure as heck don't want to make one to sell. Yes I know you can wear a "no butt" shape to help reduce the "too much junk in the trunk" effect, but it still is not enough for me. I'll just have to keep trying to perfect my skills and make it work another way. Mesh, now that would be something. But that is neither here nor there, so here we are. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfyK3teslrPTKgklTF9B4Q5efF8sTRXj-MuYk-BzcsFuhDGXz-LGVThEEwV1LnwlShBgzq5FlEOKsisMBHpdCv2TAqhxuv6pSQCx_wNxKatbFBcL4NbwpW1Ca4VgLo1KRXd9HWAYavpD9v/s1600/Fleur+-+Take+that+crack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfyK3teslrPTKgklTF9B4Q5efF8sTRXj-MuYk-BzcsFuhDGXz-LGVThEEwV1LnwlShBgzq5FlEOKsisMBHpdCv2TAqhxuv6pSQCx_wNxKatbFBcL4NbwpW1Ca4VgLo1KRXd9HWAYavpD9v/s320/Fleur+-+Take+that+crack.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So here we have my attempt at a sculpted skirt, flirty, frilly, fun, great for a photo, but not for moving around in virtual avatar life. Once you hop off the pose stand and actually move around, walk, lean over, anything at all, it looks horrid. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXkp9FB6Ih4BS_2Hjs_m4y4sDDN_4DrX4IHSGgYzkZ235TfqtESC1FMwxQqas5jS2CGZM3AMVVUYGWA3j_DOyyDKIg9V2zoGsR4zVemrUFe4166somnlrRIKBbvhzQsihAKTURJEAyJLr/s1600/Fleur+Sculpted+Skirt+Attempt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXkp9FB6Ih4BS_2Hjs_m4y4sDDN_4DrX4IHSGgYzkZ235TfqtESC1FMwxQqas5jS2CGZM3AMVVUYGWA3j_DOyyDKIg9V2zoGsR4zVemrUFe4166somnlrRIKBbvhzQsihAKTURJEAyJLr/s320/Fleur+Sculpted+Skirt+Attempt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Sculpts, as you know do not move at all, it's just like wearing one of those "cone of shame" hard plastic cones that the veterinarian puts on your pet to keep them from messing with their stitches. Hmm.. maybe I should wear one of those instead. I'm definitely messing with my stitches and still more stitching to go before this gets to the "I like it" point, if I can be so lucky.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last Leanna heard from me was Monday morning before I skipped off with my camera. She probably thinks I'm a bad friend, not even saying hi when I've been online the last few days, but it's just that I get a project going and it's all I can seem to focus on. Like a dog, chewing a bone. I get an idea and then I hound it until I can finish it. Well, here we are, days later, and I'm still at it. Most sane people would have just given up by now, thrown their hands in the air, grabbed the virtual wallet and zoomed over to Snowpaw to buy up the 3 gorgeous new dresses she announced. Hmm... I may still do that! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6B4h9ugU34Q8ldQUvKCphIe9rOBeFjF5bGh59yXvQSbr1nlTnGlatYx_ZQ4IT_aW_AmlkzqCYEvDO-226Bp891AYdww0zt8C9ZUe9PyZiihvecQ23P9yUJS6JK07zaouzodUIHGNNum1p/s1600/Fleur+More+Like+It.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6B4h9ugU34Q8ldQUvKCphIe9rOBeFjF5bGh59yXvQSbr1nlTnGlatYx_ZQ4IT_aW_AmlkzqCYEvDO-226Bp891AYdww0zt8C9ZUe9PyZiihvecQ23P9yUJS6JK07zaouzodUIHGNNum1p/s640/Fleur+More+Like+It.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br />
But for now I'm still working on the details of making my own creative pixels combine and cooperate in a way that makes me say... "Yeah! I like that!", and I get that tingly feeling that says I've done a job well. I'll keep you posted on the progress. For now, it's back to the digital sewing machine with me.<br />
<br />
Kisses!<br />

Here's what I found... and just in time for the warmer weather!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgooyKzm0Hr2zAScrnOuVUPDbCLpYkmr4GQmd8Ui8nM95jvrK4cbAQNXRmYZaBVJQtuUekaX5ocoYiDDR2ycAmLRGWrv2loQnpp5Pm3XLSqo_FDw20nsG0rLHX_k-KZqLkP6LKlmhrux-s/s1600/Talia+Dress+by+Stitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgooyKzm0Hr2zAScrnOuVUPDbCLpYkmr4GQmd8Ui8nM95jvrK4cbAQNXRmYZaBVJQtuUekaX5ocoYiDDR2ycAmLRGWrv2loQnpp5Pm3XLSqo_FDw20nsG0rLHX_k-KZqLkP6LKlmhrux-s/s640/Talia+Dress+by+Stitch.jpg" width="530" /></a></div><br />
I instantly fell in love with her cute summery sundress "Talia", and its pretty crochet accents.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKka9GBzxc263hk4d5SIsrTPEoaOz8ZruscYz9VA_JDFAUGpomlNUIIc6OVoy_wYdHKHICbWsreGOwS79IEf9JcWzcfU9k7JeAmJoFRSbiR4wohBtVRibriM_4Xc1krtJvwXqVYO8JKiU/s1600/Talia+Dress+2+by+Stitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKka9GBzxc263hk4d5SIsrTPEoaOz8ZruscYz9VA_JDFAUGpomlNUIIc6OVoy_wYdHKHICbWsreGOwS79IEf9JcWzcfU9k7JeAmJoFRSbiR4wohBtVRibriM_4Xc1krtJvwXqVYO8JKiU/s640/Talia+Dress+2+by+Stitch.jpg" width="528" /></a></div> If you haven't heard of <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/86/200/37">Stitch</a> yet, it's because Aria has been working hard behind the scenes to help bring the Harvest Moon sim to life, and has also been working on her other store, Therin Homes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYiiRgyw0aqG5BXFi1mDOr6LW6Ban_JRg0Q_2TQw0AUob0ntG_f1Pdwy1uQOxyCAyEQIT3uIud8igFdiW21jNa5Mb1YEnSb6_oirfEHadfUfdt0SFvommJo8zDBhinXdBnZmK7UhgLHkE/s1600/Ella+Dress+by+Stitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYiiRgyw0aqG5BXFi1mDOr6LW6Ban_JRg0Q_2TQw0AUob0ntG_f1Pdwy1uQOxyCAyEQIT3uIud8igFdiW21jNa5Mb1YEnSb6_oirfEHadfUfdt0SFvommJo8zDBhinXdBnZmK7UhgLHkE/s640/Ella+Dress+by+Stitch.jpg" width="504" /></a></div>The second dress, Ella, puts me in a summery mood, ready to hit the beach! I've paired it with the sweet "Jewel" sandals from Coriander. Just love these. <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/86/200/37">Stitch</a> is sure to be a hothouse of talent, and so far, you can find some ultra cute summery dresses, pants and bathing suits. Go see!<br />
<br />
Next is the ultra-cute "Miss Black Cherry" dress by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/237/199/42">My Lolita</a> with cute Mary Jane shoes and socks included. I just love how fun this outfit is! I would have taken a pic of the great corset and victorian bloomers, but my graphics card was acting up. You'll just have to trust me that they're gorgeous!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhApp2RlIT7Ouw_xW2-4acuHVSCVNhKIwvNN85zh73kqPhEsJfaJTJJqArk3I1xLMHhW1bDz19av3ETTjE8HSF3_CFsfouZs2VABaoPyrvJ-7kmyxclKtbAO715btruy7bCuVI7IEwvNFI/s1600/Miss+Black+Cherry+-+Paparazzi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhApp2RlIT7Ouw_xW2-4acuHVSCVNhKIwvNN85zh73kqPhEsJfaJTJJqArk3I1xLMHhW1bDz19av3ETTjE8HSF3_CFsfouZs2VABaoPyrvJ-7kmyxclKtbAO715btruy7bCuVI7IEwvNFI/s640/Miss+Black+Cherry+-+Paparazzi.jpg" width="532" /></a></div><br />
The super-talented Talia Fournier has branched out from her Paparazzi skins and clothing store and opened the super fun gothy girly store "<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/237/199/42">My Lolita</a>" with her main location on the Harvest Moon sim. Check her out and keep an eye for more exciting styles from Talia.<br />
<br />

Lastly, we have a mash-up look of various things I threw together, inspired by the stockings and skirt in the "Calamity" set from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Emsland/201/118/22">Stellar</a>. I just love the fun sheer stockings with the rolled-down sculpted tops. I've paired them with a new pair of Angelica boots from iNEDIT, a new store also found on the Harvest Moon sim, near <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/86/200/37">Stitch</a>. I didn't much care for the top that came with Stellar's Calamity set, so I mucked about in my closet and pulled out a white tank from Sassy! and the Charming sweater by Envious that can be found in the freebie store on <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a> Desert Island. Lastly, I snagged my Bette Long Necklace, that came with a dress of the same name, by Adored.<br />
<br />
Of course, the Hair! All styles shown today are works in progress by me, for my upcoming "Destiny Hair" shop. As soon as those go live, I'll be sure to let you know. I hope something here has tickled your fancy, and I'll be back next time with more looks for your InWorldz shopping pleasure.<br />
<br />
Happy Shopping!<br />

That's because ever since Friday afternoon, to our delight and surprise, we are now home to three bouncing beautiful new kids! Kids of the furry variety, that is. I'd like to introduce you to Bailey, Billy, and Buttercup.... my new kids!<br />
<br />
They came into this world a little bit earlier than I was expecting, and yet, I think their timing was perfect, and just in time for a weekend of snuggles and hugs and lavishing of all kinds of attention. One of my friends said, "You should blog them"! "On a fashion blog?" I wondered out loud. To which they replied there was never a bad time for cute baby goats. I think I have to agree! <br />

So here you go, if you're wondering where my time is being spent lately, just take a look at these faces and see if you don't feel the pull of the snuggle magnet. Please excuse the blurry pics, it's so hard to get these cute little bundles of joy to hold still. <br />

So, thanks for humoring me, and please excuse my "out of character" post. I promise I'll be back to sharing the best of virtual worlds, and InWorldz fashion with you again soon!<br />

The wait was worth it! In that time, she built an incredible new mainstore on <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/194/87/43">Harvest Moon</a> and a gorgeous flowery meadow surrounded by all kinds of wonderful shops to explore.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ4xwGT1icyKzloLprAVW844AQUFFjKFQVGhne49CYBxc9gIwoyz0hj5AHq6v29Z81OmlFmbORWrUIBH4ebOUsZ6tYnS9w0apdzJx15-sZEW8Q1Xf5ZO9fKGCH2vP0o3QTH86o2RxP9iQ/s288/Meadow%20Wish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ4xwGT1icyKzloLprAVW844AQUFFjKFQVGhne49CYBxc9gIwoyz0hj5AHq6v29Z81OmlFmbORWrUIBH4ebOUsZ6tYnS9w0apdzJx15-sZEW8Q1Xf5ZO9fKGCH2vP0o3QTH86o2RxP9iQ/s400/Meadow%20Wish.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

I fell through the floor but didn't let that stop me from my shopping frenzy. I quickly made my way to the "Haylee" hair and faster than lightning hit the buy button for the Reds pack. Mine!!<br />

I really love the hair dye bottle the hair comes packed in, and the supercute animation it has when you wear it to unpack. Careful though... don't get it in your eyes! Oh, and note to self, try not to pour your champagne down your back next time.<br />

I've been a busy little party animal, hardly getting a thing done, except for having loads of fun in InWorldz! Thought I better post some pics of all the action, so I can pretend I'm actually working.<br />
<br />
So the last few days we have been gearing up for the big grand opening of the Harvest Moon sim. Started off with a great little impromptu party at Jack and Talia's <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/238/207/42">new flagship main store for Paparazzi, My Lolita and Dream e'Scapes. </a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjEhD46YctZcpuWAdR6I9714IoOjOfEfc1aQV4DHTmIwnot8uYLNrxQZrT4tUNlktOXqflwg4HU2AA_HmbNGpsmgfqbyvWHAAUeL71_rP6DG6hrmzfe-_xwWqQbaHlo5x38qE3Kcrx0A/s288/Paparazzi%20Circus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjEhD46YctZcpuWAdR6I9714IoOjOfEfc1aQV4DHTmIwnot8uYLNrxQZrT4tUNlktOXqflwg4HU2AA_HmbNGpsmgfqbyvWHAAUeL71_rP6DG6hrmzfe-_xwWqQbaHlo5x38qE3Kcrx0A/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjEhD46YctZcpuWAdR6I9714IoOjOfEfc1aQV4DHTmIwnot8uYLNrxQZrT4tUNlktOXqflwg4HU2AA_HmbNGpsmgfqbyvWHAAUeL71_rP6DG6hrmzfe-_xwWqQbaHlo5x38qE3Kcrx0A/" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Things got more than a little wild when the camel came on scene. That's the elusive and ever enchanting Ophelia Rose of <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/194/87/43">Wish Hair</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidAMIEO1gPjFNeiN3dpVU4_ez4Eb5yfvsmRPVtx7W-ZWCXZ6c0-XcKKliBt3IgHf9EieNPZtEMd2Zgl9gIuY_ss8okhP3RLQwBjntZeSF9LXdqFjfOCjIAyGzFnti2ggDNqW9BKBeRw7A/s288/Ophelia's%20Camel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidAMIEO1gPjFNeiN3dpVU4_ez4Eb5yfvsmRPVtx7W-ZWCXZ6c0-XcKKliBt3IgHf9EieNPZtEMd2Zgl9gIuY_ss8okhP3RLQwBjntZeSF9LXdqFjfOCjIAyGzFnti2ggDNqW9BKBeRw7A/s400/Ophelia's%20Camel.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Those of us without such gorgeous rides resorted to our bouncy balls from Abranimations. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNymAn-ToU8y0ApXfTB5OwllzZNxdlBwRaHaPg69Oqe7CtnH_yZqNkE2ODaqd_TC1mb6JL2KMAMTNMieBA28VFsn-ebqg9CgOHFZiUhCUVIz5XsfKN9LqTA2N92YELmXpXqaUbg7KoPew/s288/Talia's%20Ride.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNymAn-ToU8y0ApXfTB5OwllzZNxdlBwRaHaPg69Oqe7CtnH_yZqNkE2ODaqd_TC1mb6JL2KMAMTNMieBA28VFsn-ebqg9CgOHFZiUhCUVIz5XsfKN9LqTA2N92YELmXpXqaUbg7KoPew/s400/Talia's%20Ride.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Of course the super stylish Talia Fournier of Paparazzi and My Lolita fame stole the show with her crazy rabid squirrel dance. You kinda had to be there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh73_DcydSJ-7Nx5jvDe5BHZjinubRYD8zUcc3yWnK07Z_e3McgVAGJ3t6dbN0glPhMby4ILrRLwkTx39I_KnjQjvAqSLMfDCXP1VJsEDVuglQ4T7usEne0rVgSlctBKw09P1QoAgjlgK0/s288/Squirrel%20Attack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh73_DcydSJ-7Nx5jvDe5BHZjinubRYD8zUcc3yWnK07Z_e3McgVAGJ3t6dbN0glPhMby4ILrRLwkTx39I_KnjQjvAqSLMfDCXP1VJsEDVuglQ4T7usEne0rVgSlctBKw09P1QoAgjlgK0/s400/Squirrel%20Attack.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
You're really going to love the new Miss Baby Blue dress by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/238/207/42">My Lolita!</a> Her shop is open as of today and if you hurry you can find a great pair of pink Mary Jane's at the entrance. Also, all Paparazzi skins are on sale at 1/2 off this weekend only, so don't hurry to fast as you pass by, and make sure to grab the great giftie on the counter!<br />
<br />
After all the fun at the Lolita-Razzi party, I was more than a little hung over, so first thing in the morning I was whisked away to Midsommer for coffee. Mmmmm, great way to start the day!<br />

We got to playing around with the new hair I'm making and even got Maxwell to try it on, though it's hard to see in the pic because his head was so big.<br />

He quickly took it off saying he didn't want to upstage Whiskey by wearing better hair than hers. Chivalry is not dead! But shhhh don't tell Whiskey he said that! (We miss you Whiskey! Come in and play with us!)<br />

I loved it on Leanna as well, with her cute fae ears poking through. Be sure to tell her how pretty her dress is or she'll whack you with that marshmallow stick!<br />
<br />
All that relaxing got us well rested and ready for the big <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvest%20Moon/87/162/34">Grand Opening event at Harvest Moon</a>, where we danced the afternoon away to tunes by DJ Maxwell Wildcat<br />

You won't be disappointed, and do take the time to explore around a little.<br />
<br />
Walk through the lush meadow and forest paths, along the streams and past beautiful waterfalls. Enjoy a the sweet little coffee shop with the deck out back and views of the ocean. Stroll along the boardwalk shops and circle back around to the Meadow, the lighthouse, and Wish hair.<br />
<br />
So many things to list, you'll just have to go see for yourself. There's a great little shop in view of the coffee shop called the "Infosnug" where you can find all manner of wonderful freebie items from the generous merchants of Harvest Moon. Thanks so much!<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Shopping!<br />

And yes, I'm still holding out for Truth hair to make their appearance. But for now, hooray, new hair! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJmq74HobKLZjDUaJvjAbznFqpCkERQ6hlraTYjxlZcPmQwrER08kzgnrIzCYgVyWu_Lp7u4LcWA3HUi7kk7iXasi_pI9eg4IWBg0iE1isduJJ_m1jhX7-5UDy-jGSTh9h7WYLa30OycY/s288/Damselfly%20Shop%20in%20InWorldz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJmq74HobKLZjDUaJvjAbznFqpCkERQ6hlraTYjxlZcPmQwrER08kzgnrIzCYgVyWu_Lp7u4LcWA3HUi7kk7iXasi_pI9eg4IWBg0iE1isduJJ_m1jhX7-5UDy-jGSTh9h7WYLa30OycY/s400/Damselfly%20Shop%20in%20InWorldz.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I know... why am I blogging about a hair place when I'm going to be making hair? Simple... it's what I do, blog about new stuff, fashions, styles and hair in InWorldz. That and it's so hard to resist new hair. Just helping out my fellow hair-flys. You know you can't resist, either. Just sayin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEAVhLNuRg6iTcNh2lidd4ki4i3EmPjLfp39X2srGRkcAKS157PrPsmWoLmdw6nzktmawpzjqqOE29jHA-qJuO8D40_4sariVZhxjqCZP0KE7kazU6H9ie8yS86rUd0ohz9Mr8WoDY0F4/s288/Damselfly%20Mwah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEAVhLNuRg6iTcNh2lidd4ki4i3EmPjLfp39X2srGRkcAKS157PrPsmWoLmdw6nzktmawpzjqqOE29jHA-qJuO8D40_4sariVZhxjqCZP0KE7kazU6H9ie8yS86rUd0ohz9Mr8WoDY0F4/s400/Damselfly%20Mwah.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
There has been a steady stream of customers every time I've gone to Damselfly for a visit. Here we see Gia Capalini and one of her fellow models from Allure Modeling agency, browsing the goods and filling up their shopping bags.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidip2YKLPv6emAkpmOTdnO7xtk-ST2Aygslt3DU3xufgLt-UypVbLoBToA9J_aMZGw03vGM7qpdYlo8nrgEmU_DmEFyLs_b7YIF2y77R9Luy_5dEbNHrdxpTBSfb_-DLdG5M8zCbvU-ag/s288/Damselfly%20Inside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidip2YKLPv6emAkpmOTdnO7xtk-ST2Aygslt3DU3xufgLt-UypVbLoBToA9J_aMZGw03vGM7qpdYlo8nrgEmU_DmEFyLs_b7YIF2y77R9Luy_5dEbNHrdxpTBSfb_-DLdG5M8zCbvU-ag/s400/Damselfly%20Inside.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I've selected two styles to share with you; Lexandra and Lavynder. Both are wavy styles, though the Lexandra is a longer, fuller style, and the Lavynder is a great wavy shoulder length style.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjtAZLlCsKAZNGbL1ioOTMUSd69SKtMrjg4ZeBtFv8_w_pejt25-qFFdfzEEeYEgJxVzDVZIkYAXPt8gDef_uytJTXgUl2ZY0WIFr02Hop7hwKrOL2eoART8PXWbfdZL1b3aJ9BmB2mxQ/s288/Alafolie-Eloyse%20Damselfly-Lexandra%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjtAZLlCsKAZNGbL1ioOTMUSd69SKtMrjg4ZeBtFv8_w_pejt25-qFFdfzEEeYEgJxVzDVZIkYAXPt8gDef_uytJTXgUl2ZY0WIFr02Hop7hwKrOL2eoART8PXWbfdZL1b3aJ9BmB2mxQ/s400/Alafolie-Eloyse%20Damselfly-Lexandra%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> I purchased the "Mixed" color packs so I have six colors to enjoy from all the major color packs. Have to admit though, I'm still not thrilled with the red shades from Damselfly. But being a natural red-head I'm a bit picky. Still, there are some lovely styles from a talented creator who has been making hair on the SL grid for years. Plenty of wonderful things to choose from here!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2nNK5WvB-zorsUQvRa3ShTOazNVDQzwla_axnxuuDuaduPitmNnVL8DXax1JLgGJZeu4XUzIB73aR-P2aBsfSzpoAYMuGPFUWB03VeRAEaickZrYxwuWMQoLwFvjpNYXjD3zZGhkxShE/s288/Alafolie-Eloyse%20Damselfly-Lavynder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2nNK5WvB-zorsUQvRa3ShTOazNVDQzwla_axnxuuDuaduPitmNnVL8DXax1JLgGJZeu4XUzIB73aR-P2aBsfSzpoAYMuGPFUWB03VeRAEaickZrYxwuWMQoLwFvjpNYXjD3zZGhkxShE/s400/Alafolie-Eloyse%20Damselfly-Lavynder.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> While the entire selection is not here yet, Shylah Honey is working at bringing over the other styles and has posted information on how you can request your favorite styles from SL to be brought over. Keen-eyed Leanna Caerndow was quick to point out that they forgot to remove the "AVN" from the signage. Oopsie! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWjVsAJV85l19kAz_7NRpNRzOoCShSgjgxwvylKp2jEi_DJ1KGujUMtKQdnDkszluw8pWZuM2Ypc3__r0PoE6To87RRdsq6Z2FJ2hyl0-BgCWHyJnXKbLxqN1eV9GZZu3Tw7HiBTCuH74/s288/Damselfly%20Hair%20Requests.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWjVsAJV85l19kAz_7NRpNRzOoCShSgjgxwvylKp2jEi_DJ1KGujUMtKQdnDkszluw8pWZuM2Ypc3__r0PoE6To87RRdsq6Z2FJ2hyl0-BgCWHyJnXKbLxqN1eV9GZZu3Tw7HiBTCuH74/s400/Damselfly%20Hair%20Requests.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Upon landing at the main store on Damselfly Hair Salon sim, turn around and you can see that construction is underway for the "Dragonfly Skins for Life" shop. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrDkoXvSUEjsm8VQ4-VSfs35QJvusJpJFyLtWF1mg2qFdsZKdV0k7wSeOsbxYz6VTGRfhih3NIFihN0yjetFGAUyMmY2nuTHML5siLAd71SVJYHfK1gOqJBOvjO44x-tdEsCWW5x27u0o/s288/Dragonfly%20Skins%20Coming%20Soon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrDkoXvSUEjsm8VQ4-VSfs35QJvusJpJFyLtWF1mg2qFdsZKdV0k7wSeOsbxYz6VTGRfhih3NIFihN0yjetFGAUyMmY2nuTHML5siLAd71SVJYHfK1gOqJBOvjO44x-tdEsCWW5x27u0o/s400/Dragonfly%20Skins%20Coming%20Soon.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Hurry on over to Dragonfly Hair Salon to see what's new. And guys, don't feel left out! There are a few great styles for men as well, though most are the longer variety, there are a few short styles to choose from. They are all mixed in with the ladies hair though, so you have to explore a bit.<br />
<br />
Have fun shopping!<br />

The good times were rolling in <a href="http://www.inworldz.com/">InWorldz</a> yesterday. Mardi Gras was a whirl of entertainment, events and celebrations. It was easy to get lost in all the commotion and events, but one event in particular really outdid them all, for me, the Allure Fashion Show. I had the pleasure of attending Allure Modeling Agency's very first fashion show in InWorldz on Mardi Gras. Let's let the pictures do most of the talking!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfaKtMRrmoxGPhYgzgl5VB5oUyVsiHYdpuxUn5YkXu9D9vmmaJ0OfsHcZeQGlmgkwLTnaM567HK7iYENpJNC18IttoVeG_xr3Ix8HIVNTs2rWJsA_bq-jmEUyq4SEqdpbul3MShHFQrYK/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfaKtMRrmoxGPhYgzgl5VB5oUyVsiHYdpuxUn5YkXu9D9vmmaJ0OfsHcZeQGlmgkwLTnaM567HK7iYENpJNC18IttoVeG_xr3Ix8HIVNTs2rWJsA_bq-jmEUyq4SEqdpbul3MShHFQrYK/" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Produced by Raven Dulce of Belissima, and her poised and elegant models, the show got off to a rough start with lag, but eventually after moving to a less impacted sim, went off without a hitch. It was very professionally done and a most engaging show! I really enjoyed it.<br />

The first is a beautiful gown "Madame Mardi Gras" that she just finished, for Mardi Gras. Look how glamorous!<br />

Hurry over to Cat's while it's on SALE! In her words <b>"it is 1/2 the usual price because it was so late."</b> Nice! Thanks Cat!<br />

If you're looking for a stunning gown for your Mardi Gras celebrations, take a trip over to <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Orky/237/145/32">Cat's</a> and find her "Madame Mardi Gras" gown, and as the French would say, "Laissez les bons temps rouler," “Let the good times roll!”<br />
<br />
If you've ever been to the Island Style shop on Orky in InWorldz, you may have stumbled across Cat's shop tucked off to the side. At first glance it looks like part of Island Style, but Cat's is just starting out and I'm sure will be expanding soon. Watch this space!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/5507400305_32b4178d04_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/5507400305_32b4178d04_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> It may look like there are only a few items, so it's easy to miss until you take a closer look at what she has made. Her sign lists "Portrait Studio, Fine Art, Photographic Equipment", but completely skips over the great gowns she makes! So I'm here to help make those more obvious, and hopefully help encourage shoppers to find her, and help another starting designer to keep on doing her magic.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5253/5507400509_f74e14a9c1_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5253/5507400509_f74e14a9c1_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>So far she only has two gowns in her shop, and her fabulously detailed camera, which comes included with pose so you can really play the part next time you're out sight seeing or doing a model photo-shoot. <br />

This camera was designed for Lydia Cremourne of the pose shop "Posture Perfect" but Cat has it available for sale in her shop on Orky. Look at all the great features! Love that wide angle lens. <br />

This is definitely a shop I'll be watching closely to see what new creations Cat offers.<br />
<br />

Wishing you a very Happy Mardi Gras... and blowing glamorous kisses to you from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Orky/237/145/32">Cat's of California</a>!<br />
