Pixie Cute

I didn’t want to do another ranting or silly post, but I felt like doing ….something…and since I’ve been shopping like mad-crazy the past week, why not do another one of these fashion-y things? :p This one is kinda pixie-cute, and in my typical black/white shades and tones. I was actually really tempted to slap some wings on this one, but it kept throwing off another attachment so I gave up in the face of having to find a new attach point for something else. I’m lazy!

You’ve probably already seen or knowing you guys, own, this cute Mimikri blouse and skirt combo (I opted for the short white rather than the matching black pattern skirt). It’s a little pricey but it’s really adorable and versatile with lots of layering and attachment options – not only that, but in the store you can find multiple layers of clothing to pair up (pants, skirts, etc). As soon as I saw it on the feeds I knew I wanted to have it and work it with my own personal, quirky, style. Originally, I thought I might work more color into this outfit, believe it or not – but once I got started, I just happened to have enough pieces in my inventory that just ….fit. I’m still not 100% happy with the final outcome of the look, it seems a little lacking, but maybe there’s some beauty to the simplicity. I guess I can’t be wearing wounds & stitches ALL the time. :p

If you haven’t been to amerie’s NAUGHTY yet – what rock have you been hiding under? It’s really one of the better kept secrets in SL, although it’s not quite so secret anymore. (aside: you should check out Spice & Sugar, her sister-project shop with a friend, cute stuffs!) If there’s one thing that amerie does well, it’s lace, and I lovelovelove her leggings. I actually combined two different pairs in this outfit; an underpant layer that was a simple lace-fringed pair of white leggings, and over that I wore black-lace, floral patterned stockings. Why did I do this? Because I could. I also happened to like the way the black-on-white muted the black and the white underneath left no leg-flesh to peek out.

Oh, and I can’t stop there without mentioning the leg warmers. I don’t really give enough credit to Curious Kitties, I have been a LONG time fan of CK (even back when DK was part of CK), probably bought my first item from CK in my first weeks in-world…and probably half of the accessories and odds’n'ends in my inventory are from CK – so I really wanted to pause and mention that if you guys are ever in the market for really cute and cheap accessories that are absolute quality and detail – you should go there. I mean, CK offers a WIDE wide wide range of inventory (skins, hairs, clothing, even plants!) but my favorite part of the sim is the accessory section. Collars, jewelry, arm and leg warmers, hair accessories, ribbons, bows, hats, bells – you name it, it’s there and done in such a unique and special way. The necklace I’m wearing in this outfit also comes from CK, I told you, I’m a true fan.

Of course, I had to spice this outfit up with a little “Dove” attitude….so yeah, that’s a spiked arm-bracer you see there. Heh. I couldn’t help myself. Kinda makes you go “awww” and just as you get close enough to peek at the cutie, she slices you into bits and pieces and eats you for dinner! Rawr! Or something. Last but not least, if you know me, which most of you won’t know this – but those who do will know instantly why I just had to own this hair as soon as I saw it. Not just because it’s spunky and different, but well ….if you know, you do, if not …maybe one day. That’s it from me …once again I’m not gonna bother with SLURLS, but if you need an LM just yell at me in-game! <3

Quirkiness…

I was just browsing the feed and jotting down some stores to check out when my pen started running out of ink. I’ve been using this pen for months but I didn’t think I used it *that* much …so I glanced around my desk and …well, yeah, I have used it quite a bit. So, it inspired me (yeah, inspiration comes from some of the weirdest places) to give you guys a peek into “Dove-ities” …

1. I tend to write everything down, even though I have this huge electronic machine in front of me that could easily store all of the information I could ever want it to …I still keep a pen and paper handy.
2. I have a notebook that is almost full of ideas for poses, pose sets, magazine page numbers to reference, etc and so on. Nothing but pose stuff goes in this notebook. When I create new poses, they are numbered – “pose348″ – it’s not until they get in-world that they get a dorky name – so I write all of that in my notebook ”pose348 = Goofy”…it might be a little redundant and overkill (especially considering I also keep this information in a spreadsheet)…but yeah.
3. I have all these little shreds of paper and envelopes and netflix movie packaging scattered all over my desk and each one of them is covered, front..back…top…bottom …ALL over in nothing but SLURLS, store names, items I want to buy, checklists of things to shop that day and things I’ve marked off.

Now, I do make use of this handy machine from time to time…

1. I keep a notepad that I copy and paste snippets into …this might seem smart but the part that’s kind of stupid is that I copy and paste EVERYTHING and ANYTHING into it. So, when I go to look for something, I have to skim through email addresses from 1942, funny quotes from people who I haven’t spoken to in ages, webpages that have long since expired and gone inactive – etc. I’m not sure what’s so hard about creating a new notepad file each time?
2. As precisely organized as I can be (I know it doesn’t sound it, but at least I know *where* everything is, just might take me awhile to find it. lol), when I go shopping in SL, I still haven’t learned the trick of keeping a “daily shopping folder” …so my inventory becomes this cluttered mess that has to be sorted folder by folder, piece by piece. I DO keep a demo folder though. Hair, shoes, skin, clothes, whatever….if I can’t try it on while I’m there, I stick it in my demo folder and try it at a later time and if it’s a win, I go back and buy it.
3. You know that “My Notes” tab on people’s profiles? I keep ALL sorts of stuff in there. Any time I meet someone new, I jot down a ‘where-how-why-when’ kind of note so that I can remember them. I know that’s really almost shallow of me, but I have a terrible name-to-memory ..memory. I also use that tab to store other information (birthdays, connections between people, etc). The tab on my profile is full already with my to-do list, custom job requests and such, so sometimes I will use the tab on my close friend’s profiles to keep other stuff….”don’t forget to pay SOM on this day. Don’t forget tier is due X. Don’t forget to download an illegal movie before sunday.” That sorta stuff.

Yeah, I’m kinda bored. Law is at work, I’m supposed to be working on poses or decorating our treehouse and planning a party….but …I just can’t be arsed! I think I’ll log in, go shop and spend ungodly amounts of monies. Yay!

EDIT:
Some more quirks for ya, they just dawned on me while I was looking at flickr.

I am a perfectionist. I am also a procrastinator. And I have a loyalty complex. All of these combined at certain times can make me almost intolerable. Examples?

*Dove doesn’t have a decent AO. When I reopened I thought it might be a little tacky of me to run around using someone else’s AO (even though I adore ANA:Mations!) when I’m a supposed pose maker myself. So I stuck a few of my poses in an AO and voila – I’ve been using it ever since. It’s lame. I’m a freakin POSE maker and I can’t even be arsed to make my own avatar an AO??
*I have been promising AOs and animations for months, I am currently working on a bunch of guy stuff that should lead me in that direction, actually. Why is it taking so long? Because I can’t be pleased with what I’ve done so far. I work in Poser, I upload, I stare at them for a few minutes each and then I decide that they’re utter crap and I don’t want to release them. Rinse, repeat.
*My loyalty complex isn’t quite so harsh as my perfectionist/procrastination issues (which seem exact opposites of each other at times yeah?) – but it can be annoying. Say, one of my favorite designers under a certain label decides to split and do their own thing – I’m suddenly, completely, torn. Do I stick with the old label and remain true and faithful – or do I go with the favored designer in their new adventure or can I simply remain loyal to both? Isn’t that insane? But that’s how my brain works.

I really am a weirdo. Hmm.

RFL Clothing Fair 08

Yeah, I went there. I think I got in about an hour after it opened to the public, so it was hectic but that was to be expected. Oh, and before I forget – for the love of God people, remove your fucking attachments, prims, scripts, bling, etc! (mutters) Okay then. Back on track! :p

I probably don’t need to tell you that it was set up on four sims donated by Rezzable, and the sims were themed by seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. I think the layout idea was kinda cool, but seemed to have floundered a bit somewhere along the way….tons of empty space not just in the center of the four sims, but also empty lots along the sidewalk shopping areas too – were those empty spaces meant for designers or no? I never did get my questions answered as to who decided what shops went where…the most I could gather is that maybe the shops were placed by “theme of the season” ….darker shops in the darker seasons, bubbly shops in the spring and summer sims. No idea. Fall and Winter sims seemed easiest to navigate, less lag and crowd, I’m sure that’s a direct connection to the shops offered in those sims, as the spring and summer sims were pretty much jam-packed the entire time. Amazingly, none of them crashed while I was there!

Anyway, I have to say if I were giving a rating to this event it would get a …..C-….I hate to say that because it’s for a great cause and everyone involved (I’m assuming) was on a volunteer basis and all the work was done for charity. BUT…it was just rather disappointing. I guess I was wrong to expect new releases at this event, from some of our favorite designers – or if not new releases, perhaps exclusive RFL items. If you go, you will soon find out what I did – a very small handful of shops even had anything new to offer and a large large large amount of the vendors didn’t even offer an RFL item….at …all. I’m not sure how that’s exactly kosher, considering this is an RFL fund-raising event? I’m hoping (although I could never get a clear answer on this one either) that the stores that didn’t have an RFL vendor at least donated some or all of their proceeds at the fair to RFL.

On the actual shops there, it wasn’t a terrible selection. I was a little surprised at some of the designers that *weren’t* there…and a little surprised also by some that *were*! It was such an odd mix, I have to wonder how exactly the designers were picked. It ranged from unheard of designers (you’ll see why), to really big names (some I’ve never seen participate in these sorts of events). There was an ungodly amount of fantasy-themed designers, I think I saw more of that than anything else there – not sure why, was that intentional?

Pretty much, to sum it up, the fair is basically your typical, daily, shopping-sim, adventure – imagine one of your favorite sims to shop, throw some donation kiosks around it and you’ve got the RFL Clothing Fair. Nothing all that special about it, except the cause itself. If I were you, I’d wait, let others brave the lag and chaos, read up on fashion blogs that mention or highlight the good shit, get in, get out and then just donate from afar.

I walked away with five items, two were RFL purchases, one was just a random purchase from a favorite designer, since I was already there, and the last two were from a shop (new to me) which did not have an RFL vendor in it that I could find. To be fair and not just a sourpuss, I’ll drop some goodies on you too!

RFL Clothing Fair Pick: TULI (and it’s an actual RFL vendor item! it’s in the Winter sim, on the Fall end.)
Honorable Mention: *ICING* (another actual RFL vendor item! Spring sim, near Winter.)
Small Perk: Moonshine (I’ve never shopped this store before, I don’t think it’s emerging at the fair but it’s new to me. I thought they had some really fun and fresh design concepts and styles.)

Enjoy!

UPDATE-
I’ve been watching the feed coverage on the clothing fair, and I feel like I should add – to be fair (ha!) – that there were a ton of things that were not at all my personal taste (TONS of fucking gowns, which usually fall under ‘fantasy-themed’ for me personally heh). I also forgot to mention that (although, more have been added since the first day for some reason, as have more RFL items, probably because people were bitching and quite confused) if you are looking to score freebies, supposedly there’s a nice collection of those also. I didn’t go looking for freebies myself, I went looking for newness and RFL exclusives. So yeah….just thought I should add that, for people who are down with the gowns and freebs.

Punky Fresh

I was standing around professing my undying love to Law (or maybe we were just plain ol’ boinkin-dirty) when I got an IM from our beloved Triangle! <3 She told me that a friend was doing a photo shoot and needed some bodies, some grungy bodies and that Law and I came to mind. At the time I had been trying on my RFL Clothing Fair scores, so I was bald, half naked, wearing a dress that was pink and not at all grungy – unless you count that dirty, grimy stuff in my crack (Law put it there I swears it!). Anywho…I told him, and we started getting dressed, an event that took near two hours, which isn’t bad for the two of us. What I ended up with wasn’t very grungy at all in my opinion, I guess I fail at life or something, but when I look at this mashup I keep hearing “punky fresh” and I like it. So, you guys get to like it too.

I’ve been piecing together some retro-looks for a post that Law is working on later down the road…so my main outfit is made up of pieces from /artilleri/ – which I love. I combined two of her outfits to create a new one and hid the tiny oopsies of texture alignment and such with her snakeskin belt. As a note, both pieces are not quite as dark originally as I have them here – I tinted them darker for my own purposes…which washed out some of the great texture detail unfortunately. That skully on the front panel is actually a jacket layer you can switch in and out for other cool emblems!

I had been dying to figure out a way to wear this funky-fun hair, and when I cycled through my hair folders and this one popped on ..it just went “ding!” and that was all she wrote. You probably can’t tell in the photos but I also tried on one of my newer skin choices from CS, it’s a bit more color and fresh than I would normally opt for, but I like it. I recently bought some new eye-colors also…branching out from my previous ….omigod…..THREE colors! Hehe.

Of course I took a little BareRose (mmm stripey goodness) and dripped it along the arms, and I pulled off one of my favorite stocking combos – fishnets on the underwear layer and Canimal’s torn stockings on the sock layer, tinted darkly. The boots I’m wearing are especially awesome because you can’t get them in-world anymore. HA! I just love to flaunt them, watch me put “N/A” down there in the credits, I’ll do it dammit. But aren’t they so fun? Two seperate sets of boots, a shoe from each one that happened to go together nicely.

That’s it. It’s late and I’m too lazy to actually post SLURLS, so if you are interested in something, just yell at me and I’ll figure out where you can find it – most of these should be pretty easy though.

Hi, my name is Dove, I steal. :(

I already posted on the content theft issue awhile back….and I still feel the same – it sucks, you suck if you do it. But with the huge amounts of attention it’s getting anymore, and it seems daily someone new is outted for being a thief….I can’t help but feel, perhaps, just maybe …we’re all sitting a *little* too high on our horses. I’m sure this is going to get me kicked in the teeth but I have to ask those who are leading this parade or marching at the forefront:

How much illegal music, that you downloaded, do you listen to while playing SL?
How many illegal rips and copies of movies have you watched in SL with friends and family?
How many of the programs that you use to create your content and amazing works in SL, did you actually pay for?
(and of course the age-old favorite)
How much of your “original content” contains pieces and parts of someone else’s “original content” – ahem, that means you photosourcers!

I could go on and on. Gonna start by saying – I’m guilty as fucking hell. No, I am in no way saying it’s okay to steal the works of others, trust me, I am so freakin’ over it …it’s got me paranoid to even shop at new places that aren’t already established in SL, it’s that bad! But, I feel like we’ve all gotten a little wound-tight lately, and high-strung. I know that it has to suck to have your hard work stolen right out from under you without any sense of justice to be found, I know that I would hate that very much myself.

I just know, also, that we’re all (or at least the majority of us) living in some pretty fragile glass houses. Who is drawing that line between what’s acceptable and what’s not? Who draws the line between legal and illegal (because it’s obviously really blurry for some)? Who is deciding what levels of thievery are okay and which ones are not? Does the sense of right and wrong only exist in the bubble our SL clients create? Is this level of theatrical and dramatic ‘coverage’ of the guilty and condemned exactly necessary? It’s almost like we’ve become a pitchfork mob, out for the kill. On the other side of that coin, I am fully aware of the reason behind this mentality we’ve developed – it comes from the lack of action on LL’s part – we’re taking it into our own hands!

I dunno what’s right and wrong in this circular debate, maybe I’m just sitting on the fence. I thoroughly support people fighting the good fight, and I think that the thieves should be brought to task for what they are doing. I just don’t think I’m of clear enough conscience to join it myself. I suppose I will just continue supporting the original designers and creators directly and leave the balls-to-the-wall approach to those with the ..well…balls, to do it.

So, I guess….’Go Team!’ ? ? ?

Skin Fair ‘08 Ruined My SLife!

I wasn’t going to attend the skin fair – not because I’m boycotting anything, but just because I knew it would be a.) a lag fest and b.) I love the skin I’m in! But then I saw this post by Gogolita on the feeds, the first set of skins she showcased totally caught my eye, but I knew not to get excited because most skins look good on her. I went to see who the creator of this too-cute skin was and boy was I shocked to find out it was Gala!!

See, when I was but a wee newb, the first non-freebie skin that I owned, actually, the first three, were Gala skins. Back then Gala was having a discount sale on some of their skin line and being newb and unaware of what else was out there, and plus being cheap, I dabbled a bit and they actually worked well with Dove’s shape of old. I wore them for months, it wasn’t until awhile later that I came across Celestial Studios and never looked back…..

….until now, that is. (Can I do it baby? Aw hell, I’m gonna!)

DUN DUN DUN!

I went to the skin fair specifically for this skin, I hunted it down amid the lag and retards and  I found it. I grabbed the first demo that rezzed because honestly I wasn’t expecting much, even with how lovely they looked on Gogolita. I brought the demo back home along with some others just for shits and giggles and stood on the porch changing in and out of them. The Gala came up and immediately I paused, took it in for awhile and secretly, quietly….fell in love with the face. The new name for this line is “Refined” and you know, Gala really hit the nail on the head with that one – that’s the perfect description for it in comparison to their old stuff. I looked at it for awhile, but Bo was there distracting me and taking embarrassing pics of Dove in the buff, so I kept cycling through the skins.

That cute button-nose, soft-lipped face kept coming back to me though. So later, I stripped down again and stood staring at the skin, trying to convince myself that I hated it. Law got to listen to me for a good hour….not ranting about it …but falling in love with it slowly and surely. If you’ve ever heard me gripe about skins when they come out, my gripe is usually one of three things:

1. Eyebrows. I can’t stand pencil and drawn-on looking eyebrows. I can’t stand most shapes of eyebrows either.
2. Nose. I hate dark shading on the nose, especially the bridge and nostril holes. It irks the fuck out of me.
3. Lips. I hate when the lips are softened so much they look like you got stung by a bee, I hate that false plumpness and on the reverse I hate the thin, pointy-cornered lips too.

What did this skin give me? All three of my peeves – soothed. The eyebrows I love even more than my CS eyebrows – they’re not too dark, not drawn on at all, kinda bushy and the shape is perfect. The nose, the nose makes this skin, even though it’s darker shaded in the nostril area than I would tend to like, the way they shaded *around* the nostrils creates this cute button effect that I just want to pinch off and keep forever. And the lips, OMIGOD. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mouth on a skin that was more perfectly shaped first of all, but the texturing on it is so real and while it looks soft, it’s not pornstarish, and yet you still wanna kiss it. (Personally I hope they do like CS does and think to include a freckled version of this skin in the future, it’s screaming for freckles across the bridge of the nose and sprinkled lightly on the cheeks)

Yeah, see? I’m totally in love with this skin. The body details are not bad either, but ever since I left the stripper/hooker life behind, I don’t really care much for what naughty bits look like – although I have to say, this skin has a cute cooter, perky nipples and the ass is perfect, lightly shaded (the ass on the CS skins is one peeve I’ve always had, it’s too dark and looks stained).

I made up my mind that I was going to purchase this skin. Yes, after over a year of one skin line, I was going to do it …branch out …take the dive. Lord, help me. I braved the skin fair once again – because apparently this line isn’t released in the main store yet, or I can’t find it if it is. I grabbed up a bunch of skin demos in a slightly darker tone (I was already aware the demo I had gotten was a little too light) and ran back home to try and talk myself out of it while I tried them on. This is where I hit my first hitch…the skin tones are very lacking and not exactly a realistic tone either. You go from ghostly white, to ghostly pale, to an almost pinkish-yellow complexion (classic), and from there it jumps straight to almost hooker-tan (luster) and then you’re pretty much african-american after that jump.

And there is where I stopped. I keep flipping back and forth from one skin tone to the other, and then over to my CS skin to try and compare and see which one is closest to that tone. But they’re just such different skins and tones that it’s hard to compare them at all. I love my CS skins, but every time I flip over to the demo skins from Gala, I can’t help but feel the face of my CS skin is so lacking now…..but then I look at the skin tone of the demo and I want to puke. Why, God, why did you do this to me? Why must your grass look so green over there?

Anyway, I took some pics of the two demo tones and my CS skin, all three with the minimal/bare style makeup I could find…ignore the lashes, I didn’t edit them very much for these quickie shots. I put on hair too so you can compare, and did some further-away shots because the face on the Gala skins really need to be seen on a whole too, they’re too cute! What do you guys think??

Oh, and if anyone who creates or knows someone on the inside at Gala, ever comes across this post, please, I beg you, give me ONE more shade of skin between Classic and Luster and I will fucking love you forever!

P.S.
My vote for ‘best demo skin’ at the fair would have to go to Karamia, I put it on and started giggling. Too funny! (yes it actually says ‘poop’ on it)

How do you shape up?

At most of the big shopping events in the past months, whenever I take Dove about and I get trampled by people …I start noticing how freakin’ odd Dove looks paired up against other avas. So, that’s gotten me thinkin more and more lately….what exactly is the standard or average in avatar shapes in SL? IS there one? So I thought I’d poll you guys if you’d be so kind to take a little minute for me. Totally just curious, and I’m not going to ask for any shape specifics that will allow anyone to rip yer look off or anything…thanks in advance!

Tagged…

Normally I hate being tagged. So, this is a warning to anyone who might consider tagging me in the future – you will die. slowly.

YAY!

But this tag I don’t mind because when I saw it hit the feeds I kinda thought it was interesting. So, Kallisto tagged me and here’s the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

“KING HENRY
Ay, and for much more slaughter after this.
O, God forgive my sins, and pardon thee.                        He dies.“

Yeah, it’s Shakespeare. I R Lame. It was either that or the bible. I can’t help it that all my books are packed in boxes!

I’m not tagging anyone namely because the few friends I have have already been tagged, and plus I wanna stop this vicious cycle before someone gets hurt. <3

I haz clothes! :o

I made this outfit and I just HAD to blog it. First thing that caught my eye – the colors, so vibrant and full. I especially loved the shading under the boobs and detailing along the seams. Check out that photosourcing work on the buttons and pockets – elite I say. The skully on the tanktop is especially cute, and it’s pink, so for all of you grungy, gothy punk girls …this outfit screams out to you! Buy me! I’ve decided to release it for only 550L and I plan to add some arm warmers and maybe a necklace to the set as well. Next week I’ll be branching out into men’s wear and forcing Law to blog it…so stay tuned!

But seriously – I have a new respect for ALL clothing designers in SL, even the most newbish of newb designers. This is my first attempt at making clothing. It’s okay to laugh.

A little less rant and a lot more ….love?

Okay, let me paint a little picture for you. I’m out shopping some random sim, trying to decipher the japanese language when in my ear, the sweetest angel of a male voice said:

Him: Honey, what are you doing?
Me: Shopping, what are you doing?
Him: Can you come here a second, baby?
Me: Aw, sure honey, tp me.
Him: I just wanna show you something, sweetest flower of my soul.
Me: Aw, I lub joo, I’m coming darlin.

At this point in the story I tp into this unknown sim, I’m surrounded by gray and nothing, but in my ear I hear the sweetest angel of a male voice and he ….

…..

….

giggled? That was the first red flag. The giggle of doom. I immediately start camming around thinking that maybe he dropped me into a nudist beach or a horse-banging fetish barn. But I couldn’t see anything! He was awful quiet …and then I see this thing rez around my avatar:

Me: What the hell is this big gray vibrating circle around my legs??? What – tha – fu——-

Me: HONEY!!!!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, my darling, beautiful, gentle and sweet Lawless McBride …dumped his beloved, sweetest, most-favoritest love of loves into a tank full of piranha! Not only did he dump me in this brutal fest, but he stood there snapping pictures and giggling while they devoured me whole!

Men. Puh.

Luckily, the fish decided a little payback was in order:

Muahahaha!

And that’s what you call true love. <3
