Wales

… week 31 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

This week’s color is called Wales. I thought that was a country, but then again , what do I know? In any case, it’s a nice and bright shade of green.

The dress I’m wearing was last Friday’s FLF offer by Miel. I actually forgot to buy it that day. But luckily for me, they were late with putting up the vendors, so they decided to leave them up the entire weekend. I was saved!

It’s Bandana Day

… so remove your hair to show you care!

It’s the last day of Hair Fair 2012. So that means today is Bandana Day. The day when the people who have purchased bandanas from Hair Fair, will ‘Remove their hair to show they care’.

For me it was easy to decide what bandana to wear this year. A KittyCatS bandana with kitty ears on it? Yes, please!

As always all proceeds from the bandanas is donated to Wigs for Kids.

Aqua Island

… week 30 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

And I’m back from holiday.

Well, actually we’ve been home a couple for days already. But first my pc refused to cooperate and then this morning I got a call that my grandmother had passed away. So Second Life and blogging were not exactly my first priorities.

In any case, I got my color challenge catch-up post together. My outfit admittedly doesn’t match the week’s color very well. But putting it together was a nice distraction.

Persian Rose

… week 29 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

And this week’s color is: … another shade of pink. When I bought this dress I was sure the right kind of pink was in there. But I’m not sure I can find it now…

In any case, I’ll be off on vacation tomorrow, so the blog will be quiet for a while. Yes, I’m going on holiday during Hair Fair… I’m silly, what can I say?

One Voice

… stuff from the One Voice Fundraiser.

I finally managed to visit One Voice. This event was organised to raise funds for Gala Phoenix, creator of Curio skins. Because at the moment she is fighting a legal battle, to get her SL business returned to her. But the event also aims to raise awareness of intellectual property rights and how this situation should concern all content creators in SL.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, none of this is going to be news to you. But just in case it is, you can read about everything that happened, here on Curio’s blog.

Look of the Day

…because I needed something to do.

I’ve been trying to visit the One Voice Fundraiser. But so far without any luck, since the sim is pretty much overrun. Which in a way is a good thing, because that means lots of money is finding its way to Gala Phoenix’ legal fund!

Astronaut Blue

… week 28 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

There is one dilemma I’m always faced with when I go SL shopping and I find something I’d like to buy: what color should I choose?

The outfit I’m wearing today was one of those. I liked it when it was first released, but just couldn’t make my mind up about the color. And buying all of them wasn’t an option (Afterall, I have a herd of KittyCatS to feed).

So I decided to wait until one of the colors could be used for the color challenge. Et voilá

Digits Revisited

… for Strawberry Singh’s “What’s Your Digits – Take 2″

Last year, Strawberry Singh asked people to share their digits, to see how her shape compared to others. Now, with the introduction of mesh and the Standard Sizing system, she figured it was time for Take 2. Since I participated last year, I decided to do so again.

This time though, Berry prepared some questions for us to answer in our posts:

• How has the introduction of mesh affected your SL, if at all? Are you open to wearing mesh often or do you still shy away from it?

I personally love mesh. And to be honest I haven’t bought a lot of system clothes since the first mesh garments appeared. Especially system clothes+sculpties are off the shopping list. The same for longer prim hairstyles.

• Have you changed your shape to fit into mesh? If so, did you go bigger or smaller?

Yes, I added a little bit of fat to my shape. But otherwise I didn’t change much. I usually wear M size. But it isn’t a perfect fit, I do very much need the alpha layers.

• Do you think the mesh deformer will resolve a lot of the issues people seem to have with mesh and will it encourage you to wear mesh more often, if you don’t already?

I haven’t looked very closely at the technical capabilities of the mesh deformer. I hope it will improve the way rigged mesh works. But if it’s going to be the answer to all our prayers remains to be seen. SL wouldn’t be SL if we didn’t have to work around it’s technical limitations.

So what changes did I make to my shape in the past year? Not much, as it turned out. Quite soon after posting my first set of digits, I felt that my torso was a bit too long. So I changed that number from 60 to 55. The only change I made as a direct response to mesh, was increase my Body fat slider from 0 to 8, to make Standard Size M fit a little bit better.

Apparently my digits were already more or less Standard Sized

Cadmium Red

… week 27 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

This week’s color is Cadmium Red. When I read that my first thought was: Oh yeah, red paint. And because both my parents are chemists, me second thought was: highly poisonous.

It’s a good thing we only have to wear the pixel version of this color
