Dressing for the seasons.

Let's face it, in SL it can be any season you want it to be. In any crowded room you'll likely find people dressed for all seasons; some will be bundled up for winter, others in bikinis. Even in a snowy area you'll see tons of people in shorts and sandals, as if they were on a beach!

I've always dressed however I wanted in SL, but others prefer to dress in a seasonally appropriate manner. Not like there's a shortage of places to find the gear, so it could be kind of fun!

Right now, via a forum post, I've found a place called DeLa. They carry all kinds of clothing, including shoes, jackets, pants, shorts, skirts, tops, dresses...they even have jewelry, belts, and leg and arm warmers. So I wandered by and picked up some knitwear for "winter," even though the season's almost over. I figured it couldn't hurt, and they have some adorable knit dresses. Vibrant colors or neutrals, they look fabulous and everything coordinates. Over to LightStar for some boots, and I have a winter(ish) avatar! I'm finding it's kind of fun to dress for the seasons, even and especially in SL!

What are you wearing? Who are you wearing?

Quoted from "Fashionista," which I forever get stuck in my head. Nonetheless, a valid question in SL, where everything is made by individual creators, including you skin, hair, eyes, shape, etc. And who you get it from is a Big Deal to some people.

So what am I wearing? And by whom?

Since I don't want this post to go on forever, I'll mention only the visible here.

Hair: Elysium, in crow, by TRUTH
Skin: Ethereal by *Sexy Mamas*
Shape: Gabrielle month 4 by *Sexy Mamas*
Clothes: Water from the Elemental Collection by PS Expectations
Shoes: Aphrodite blue and greens in Sky by Baby Monkey

Skin, shape, and clothes are specifically designed for pregnant AV's.

I finally did it...

I made a blog. Granted, I'm a little late in the game, but hey. No harm in that, better late than never, insert favorite cliche here.

The ultimate intention of this blog is to make a record of my favorite (and least favorite) things, places, and probably people in SL. For the less informed, Second Life is a virtual world where, after downloading a viewer (I myself use a third party viewer, Phoenix, but LL, the creators of SL, have their own viewer, and there are many other tpv's out there), you can create an avatar and do with that avatar essentially anything you wish. I've rated this blog for adult content because I joined SL specifically for the sexual experiences offered therein, and even more specifically for those related to BDSM. Some of what I talk about - in fact, possibly a lot of it - will relate.

Next post I'll probably talk about my avatar (AV), and some favorite places. Right now, I'll share a find (for anyone who cares to read this, and if no one does, I'm all right with that, too!).

My find: the CTS wardrobe. This HUD allows users to take snapshots of their outfits or individual pieces of clothing and send them to a personal email address generated for the individual by the wardrobe. You tag your items - for example, [blue, sweater, black, pants, winter, boots]. Once you have your items entered (it takes a while, but it's worth it), you can click the center button of the HUD and be taken to the website, where you can view all of your outfits, or your bottom pieces only, or your blue items only, etc. If you have RLVa enabled, you can even wear the outfit directly from the wardrobe! It only costs about $800L, for the HUD (which includes a posestand with 15 model poses and a tintable background to take your snapshots against, as well as the features mentioned above), and a rezzable wardrobe for you SL home. It makes choosing outfits so much easier, especially for a clothes horse like me! (Note: you can also add things like hair, jewelry...it's pretty much unlimited.)
