GSpot and Arwen's Creations for the We Love RP event 3
Wanna a clear a room full of Goreans? Scream out the term “Radical Feminist” and you will get an empty room and FAST!  All kidding aside, when I put this outfit together using pieces by the creators participating in the We <3 Role-Play event, the look make me think my avatar was an artistic rendition of the concept of radical feminism – a warrior fighting a patriarchal system that attempts to keep her in a position of “less than.”  This lady rocks!

Let’s take a minute to talk about Weaponry in role play fashion.  I think  at times I overlook the artistry that abounds when it comes to weapon design and make it just another accessory.  So much detail is referenced in the weapons, and I believe that showcasing these creations is something I should do more regularly.  Don’t get me wrong, I could not critique weapons in terms of function – but I know a good design when I see it and this bow from EZ weaponry has it.

Last but certainly not least is this new skin from League – and for anyone who knows me, they know I love my League skins!  Overall I am thrilled with the increased attention to and creation of  realistic ethnic skins on the grid nowadays and Aria is certainly a strong contender for one of my favorite black skins.  Incidentally, I haven’t taken this skin off yet since I bought it!

Anyway, that’s all I got today and don’t forget to check out the new We <3 RP event going on till the end of May.  So in the meantime, take care my friends and have a great Second Life!

The Library for We love RP 2
Greetings fellow role players!  The We <3 Role-Play event debuted this week to a smashing success!  Because of this, I thought I would take some time to post some of the looks over the next few days featured at the event.  First up is from a newish store called The Library.  The store is the new brain child of Sabina Takakura and Dream Resistance, formerly of Fantasia and I just knew these two couldn’t stay away from creating for too long!  As you can see the outfit is flexible for a multitude of genres (except Gorean Free Woman in by the book sims) and the texturing is sublime.  I definitely tout this as a must have for your role play wardrobe.

Oh and by the way, Exile is back and with a vengeance!  Along with four new styles, Kavar has implemented a new hair color hud for his designs along with a mulitude of new colors:  For more info on the hud, visit Kavar’s post here.  This particular hairdo I am sportin’ today is “Fire to the Rain” and it is simply RAWR!

Any who, that’s all I got for today but be sure and check out the event ASAP!  So take care my friends and have a great Second Life!

Just a bit of winter – really that’s all we get in Austin. Minus the socks, this look would be perfect for running around town on an average winter’s day. Yes, I moved to Austin for the warmer weather over 10 years ago now. But I have to admit, I kind of miss the snow.

Enjoy your SL,

Starlet 1
The other day I was talking to Xamirus aka Napoleon aka my partner extraordinaire about fashion blogging in second life. While showing him a few of my favorite sites, I couldn’t help but hear a whole lot of exasperated sighs on the other end of the line. “What is wrong?” I asked him. “Can’t you see it?” he exclaims. “These bloggers wear way too many layers. They have a jacket on top of a jacket on top of a sweater on top of a shirt on top of a pair of shorts over a pair of jeans and then about a billion accessories too.”  After several minutes of laughter, he ended his “assessment” by saying, “Come on now. You watch Project Runway – Michael Kors would be blasting these people for trying too hard!”

Yeah, he is probably right. If I walked around Austin in some of the outfits I feature in my SL blog, I would get a few raised eyebrows. But that’s the point of SL right? It’s not real, its fantasy and a pretty picture world of what you could be if you lived in computer. So to all you bloggers out there who throw away the reality in search of fantasy – I salute you.
Starlet 2
Okay about the outfit: Yeah, the look really has absolutely nothing to do with what I am talking about here, well kind of. It does have a lot of layers AND the photos have a 1950s movie feel to it.  It definitely is fantasy, minimal basic fantasy albeit. Plus I finally went to a gatcha festival for the first time in SLife. Woot and I have the manager of Tee*fy/LaViere to thank for that.  She was super nice to me one day when I asked about an old gatcha camera - she told me about the swap groups, the after the gatcha event sales places etc.  Now If only I could remember her name, *sigh*.  Any who that’s all I got today. So as the norm, take care my friends and have a great second life!

With Love Hunt 1
The With Love Hunt <3 sponsored by Chic Management starts today and I simply love this offering from Les Petits Details.  I am totally kicking in told school with my lack of mesh, well except for the hair. Speaking of this hair, I am totally hooked on this “Effect” hair from Lelutka and it inspired me to go blond for today’s photo – shocking I know!  I have been a die hard red head for years, but the times are a changin’ my friends.  Any who, for more details on the hunt feel free to visit the Chic Management Blog here.  On top of that, SeraphimSL should be posting a round up today or sometime this weekend. 

Well that’s all I got for today folks, so take care my friends and have a great Second Life!

Edited to add: Sorry about the lines folks. I just was informed that shooting at larger than screen size creates lines at times. Oh well, such is a life – we can’t always be perfect. :P

I know I ranted recently about how I don’t do events or fairs. Well this is the case for the most part except for……Vintage Fair, which in reality is right up my alley.  So after being asked to take part as a blogger which included advanced entry to the sims and then after spending close to 4k before the event even opened, I figured I was destined to blog it, WEEEEE!  With this in mind, I am setting aside my stories and Lizzie for a week or two to focus on the gorgeous designs available at the fair.  So without further adieu, here is my very first picture featuring a few Vintage Wear offerings…Enjoy!
