Starlight Skyther is the talented designer of House of Starlight (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pavran/231/46/1823" target="_blank">SLurl</a>). Here is what she writes about her new outfits:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The outfit is available in two colors, a bubblegum pink and royal blue.
Matching shoes are included. There are two jewelery sets that match to the outfit
– “ Pearl Flower” and “Lady Sapphire” which include earrings, ring,
bracelet and necklace/choker. They are available in 2 versions – transfer only
and copy only".</blockquote>Alanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07604783450391904044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866054416904470065.post-76331098058988576392012-08-04T22:10:00.000+03:002012-08-04T22:11:44.264+03:00August already<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Summer has gone by so fast. I can't believe it's August already. I have done a few blog posts here and there but mostly the hiatus has been on since last spring. I have so much other stuff to do. I love the blog and I especially love the gorgeous designs sent to me to blog. If I had 48 hours in a day, I would blog just as much as I used to. But things change, and I just have to accept I can not be everywhere at once.<br />
<br />
Here is an outfit that is great for a warm summer day. I love poses by Bent, btw. The prices are really fair, too.<br />

31st July is my second rezzday and my dear friend, the talented designer Starlight, sent me an early gift, this gorgeous gown called <b>Pearl Mesh, black and white</b> from her upcoming new line. It is mesh and comes in several sizes. It includes shoes and both a black feather boa and a white fur stole, that are not shown in the image. I of course was speechless and so happy and honored. I am not sure when the gown is going to be out but keep your eye on the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/70664?search[layout]=gallery&search[category_id]=&search[sort]=created_at_desc&search[per_page]=12&search[keywords]=&search[price_low]=&search[price_high]=&search[prim_count_low]=&search[prim_count_high]=&search[copy_permission]=0&search[modify_permission]=0&search[transfer_permission]=0" target="_blank">House of Starlight Marketplace shop</a> or visit her <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pavran/232/47/1824" target="_blank">store inworld</a>. She has a sale coming too with a lot of items for half price.<br />
<br />
Here are rest of the outfit details:<br />

<br />
And on the topic of my second rezzday. It feels a bit strange that it has been so long, and yet it seems like I have been here forever, and not just two years.<br />
<br />
I have a very busy SL schedule, and as I am having more stuff to do rl too, I am not sure I can keep doing the blog as much as I used to, even after my hiatus.<br />
<br />
I have even been considering quitting the blog, but it just feels like a part of me now and would be difficult to let go of. I think I will just go less on my "rounds" for it and use more of things that I get sent by designers. And nobody has to blog three times a day every day like I did at some point. Plus it is not just a fashion blog, so I can babble about some of my projects, too.<br />
<br />
Welcome to my third year on SL.

From their notecard: </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Virtual Museum of Architecture (VMA) is a SecondLife entity that is dedicated to the education and exploration of various types of architecture.<br />
<br />
Born from the Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum, the VMA has expanded its interest into other styles of architecture, such as 19th Century Plantations, Sustainable Homes following LEEDS guidelines, the Art Deco designs of commercial buildings in the 1920s and most recently, the eclectic styles of Drive-in Restaurants of the 1950s.<br />
<br />
Here in SecondLife, the VMA has a campus where we rotate our displays and hold educational lectures and fun building contests. We'd love to have you stop by and visit.</blockquote>
Tahby Photography has a really nice promotional plot at SL9B (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20SL9B%20Nine/233/213/21" target="_blank">SLurl</a>). Simple and to the point, while being pleasing to the eye. And I enjoyed the relaxing athmosphere. They have a free gift.<br />

I have been watching the development of the build in my neighboring plot and waiting to have a chance to visit. This build must have the best view on SL9b. You walk a long slide up, and all the while sigh at the breath taking look you get over the sims. And there is a hud in the works for the top platform. I found a lift, too. Fittingly the build is called The Engine of the Gods (SLurl).<br />

My SL9B plot, the Friendly Chatter Café (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20SL9B%20Neun/223/115/21" target="_blank">SLurl</a>) is finally done. I was going to spend two days on it, but got a bit "inspired" with all the treats and drinks and gifts etc. I hope you can visit at some point. SL9B is a huge celebration with a bunch of sims full of attractions and entertainment. But I figured, everyone needs a break sometimes. :) With so much to see, even virtual legs get tired sometimes. The sims open for public on 18th of June, 2012. SL9B ends 27th of June.

Not that there has been time for many breaks. Have been building like a busy bee for days now. Hope to see you visit, when the sims open 18th June. You will get free treats and drinks (for tinies and biggies), and free gifts. The picture is a sneak peek at what the café looks like. There is room for several groups to enjoy themselves and talk to friends or meet new people. Or you can park there while you go afk.<br />
<br />
A lot to see at the SL9B. Our neighbors are really interesting. There is a huge light tower right next to the café that is going to be awesome. And on the other side an artistic looking pyramid. There's some really cool pop art in a big circle on a field close by. And so much more. Plus there are so many sims to see. Take a pod and have a look. :)
Keep an eye out for events. Lot's of entertainers have signed up. Live music, dj's etc. And volunteer greeters giving gifts and advice. This is gonna be an awesome event!Alanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07604783450391904044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866054416904470065.post-20842940418851854142012-06-11T19:47:00.000+03:002012-06-11T19:47:23.220+03:00Midsummer MadnessParadise Landing Sim Hunt, Sat 23rd - Sun 24th June<br />

Here is an outfit I have been meaning to post for a while, as it is a big favorite of mine. I have been running around looking like this a lot, while doing the art thing. Feels good having a look longer than for a photo shoot. But I do still get restless if I don't change my skin and hair as well as clothes, every once in a while. That is what makes blogging a different kind of experience on SL. My alts have more of a steady look they work with.<br />

<br />
<span id="event_desc">"Mail art meets virtual worlds" is an exhibit by
Alana Pyara. It is part of the Linden Endowment for the Arts full region
grant season. The purpose of the exhibit is to find new ways for people
in the virtual worlds to communicate and express themselves by
exploring techniques often used in mail art. Everyone and anyone can
participate. Read more: <a href="http://mailartmeetsvirtual.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://mailartmeetsvirtual.blogspot.com/</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span id="event_desc">For the opening event of this art region, we have a real treat for
anyone interested in virtual worlds and the identities of both players
and characters. State of Being is a popular lecture by Pamala Clift, "a
researcher and an autodidactic observer of psychology and
anthropological interactions". </span><br />
<br />
<span id="event_desc">The lecture will be held in voice chat. Please familiarize yourself with
how voice chat works before the event. There is no cost to attend this
event.

<br />
Cannibelle (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Warrumbungles/46/239/1347" target="_blank">SLurl</a>) definitely helped me find myself as a tattoo person. Annabelle's designs are very realistic, beautiful and always so ethereal and meaningful.<br />
Her lingerie designs are beautiful too, and have a similar timeless quality.<br />
<br />
Time constraints are forcing Annabelle's hand and making her close her inworld store <b>Wednesday 18th</b> April 2012. So now she has a sale for a few days, and you can get everything for <b>half prize</b>! This is very generous. Her Tattoo packs have several options to suit your tastes and the products are always very well thought through.<br />
<br />
Cannibelle will continue adding designs to her marketplace store, which is not included in the sale.Alanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07604783450391904044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866054416904470065.post-54110671372524929492012-04-11T13:52:00.000+03:002012-04-11T14:18:32.580+03:00Art competitionsLEA Full Sim Art Series: One Fool's Uncharted Empire by Athena
