in this together

Emi recently was accepted as a blogger for the Pose Fair this year, which I am insanely happy for her over, yay Emi! As a result, I’ve gotten to be the extra body in a couple pose or two so she can accurately preview them. The one I want to talk about tonight is this adorable prop pose from elephante poses.

It’s called Together We Are, and will be available at the Pose Fair for 149L. It’s a cute pose, so if you’re in the market, be sure to swing by and pick this one up on the 29th!

By the way, the raw of this shot is courtesy of Emi. Check out her post if you want to see what it would look like in the hands of an actual Photoshop user! Thanks, Emi!

more than the past

Inventory organization is really tough! I’ve been trying to tackle my monstrous mess for the last couple of days, and as a result, I haven’t had the time to sort through items to blog. I’ve been trying to keep from buying new things, too, in the hope that I will keep from adding to this huge pile of things that need properly placed.

Instead, while taking a break from (read: avoiding) organizing, I decided to go through some old snapshots I’d taken. I really wanted to post, but had nothing, so I thought maybe I should try to recreate an old snapshot for the blog. I might make a habit of this for those times when I desperately need to post and can’t find just the right thing to blog.

Now, it’s back to work for Ai. Hopefully upcoming: something shiny and new!

my shangri-la

Miss Strawberry Singh’s meme really did come in handy. I totally procrastinated on the outfit post until today! (Actually, I had some minor RL issues, but that is totally beside the point.) I’ve been thinking about what I would do with this post since I first tried on the demo of the dress I just knew I was going to buy.

Emi alerted me to erratic’s sale and we popped over there to see what we could find. Although a lot of the clothing was gorgeous, this dress, Lindsay, really stood out to me. I’ve been looking for something like this dress for a while now, but never dreamed I would find it in a shop like this.

erratic has some of the most gorgeous mesh textures I’ve seen in game. The clothing is a bit on the spendy side for me, as I don’t have a lot of lindens to burn, but it is %300 worth the price. Speaking of the price tag: there’s a huge sale going on there right now until the end of the month, so if you fall in love with something like I did, make sure to pop in there and grab it before April!

i hear a distant voice

I am not the kind of person who likes to look like or be one thing all of the time. I need to change every now and again, and always be able to go back to my previous look if I want to. (Which is why I can never settle on a hair cut, maybe?) I have many different outfits, hair colours, and avatars which I like to be every now and again to break up the monotony. This is Second Life, after all, and if I want to be a cat, all I need to do is put on a folder!

With that in mind, I have someone I would like you all to meet today.

This is Tatsurou. He is one of my male avatars, although not just a male shape. Tatsurou is actually a separate account that I made around the time I made Ai. I don’t have many items on him, since I have male avatars on Ai’s account and tend to collect them there, but he is close to my heart. I intend to start collecting on him as well and using him in a few of my posts.

As with all of my shapes, he is a custom from Emi. He doesn’t have much on him inventory wise right now, but I did pick up something today that I’m excited about getting totally free.

The Envious group gift for guys in March is this mesh skull shirt. Coming in five standard sizes, Tatsurou fits into extra small. The texture is great and I’m excited to see Envious making mesh for men, since I love their women’s clothing so much.

I have yet to look at the rest of their men’s section in detail, but I’m sure I’ll find a lot of really nice things I’m going to have to purchase, and unfortunately purchase in double. (So not looking forward to that!)

I’m really at a loss on where else to find quality men’s items at this time. I’m just not sure which shops cater to men, and especially at prices I can afford. If anyone has any suggestions for me, please, leave me a comment!
