BBBC 2010 - Entry 2

 SL Bloggers - Write about three positive things going on in your Second Life.


    Ok, I guess this topic comes at a good time.  I've recently signed up at avmatch.com (yea, I know) anyway, I signed up mostly to find new friends to hang out with since i'm usually sitting around bored and no one is online.  While i'm not going to out the people i've met.. I will say i'm happy I did it.  I never can figure out why I have such a hard time making new friends in sl.  I'm shy in rl, but not so much in sl anymore so it baffles me.  I try to talk to people, I make kind gestures.  I have sent out free things I make to people who I think might like them, but I never get any responses, not even a "I don't really like this, but thanks anyway" lol So I don't know.. I was starting to think for some reason people just didn't like me.. even though I had never even spoken to most of them.   So getting back on track, I think this site is kind of awesome in that you can connect with people who share your interests.  I've had some interesting experiences.. if that's what you want to call them.  I've had one that creeped me out, one that made me feel like a worthless piece of dog shit, one that is hopefully going to turn into a sweet friendship, and one that.. well, might be turning into something more.  Hopefully I will find out more tonight :)  Ok ok, but this would be positive thing number one.  I'm meeting new people, hopefully making friends.. and learning not to be such a recluse in a world where I can do anything I can imagine. 


   Number two branches off of number one.  My best friend and I have decided that we BOTH need to stop being such hermits, so in an effort to be more sociable and make SL fun again, we are going to start forcing ourselves to go out and find somewhere new every night.  I think our first venture may be orientation island.  I always hear about crazy stuff going on there so what better way to break ourselves in to the vast sea of people who inhabit sl.  Logging in to sit alone in a box 5000m in the sky is just not what sl was made for and I refuse to do that anymore.


   Number three.  Number three is uh..  hmm.  *scratches head*  OH, yes.. this.  Blogging.  I am crossing my fingers that this is just the right thing I needed to get me going again and take my blog back into the right direction.  I hope that maybe this also helps me with numbers one and two. Perhaps I have been looking for friends in the wrong places and this will introduce me to some like minded people. :)  


  So there it is, post number two.  I did it.. Yea!  I thought I would have failed by now. lol

BBBC 2010 - Entry 1

Well, I think I may have borked this already but i'm gonna pretend that I didn't so shh don't tell! So, the rules of the bbbc are basically to post at least once a day for the duration of the challenge. I haven't posted in over a year so I thought this would be a great time to get started again. I used to keep a live journal back in the day and it really helped me clear my mind when I was overwhelmed with things going on in my life. Which leads me into my first post.. the topic being: Why did you become a blogger? How has it enriched your life?

I actually started my blog because I wanted to show a different side of sl fashion, the basic pieces that are usually overlooked. Once I started it however, I realized that was going to get boring pretty fast. lol So I just started throwing random posts out there and eventually stopped posting altogether because it just didn't feel genuine. So, with this challenge as my kick start, I have decided to revert back to what I originally felt comfortable blogging about, my adventures, my experiences, my successes, my failures.. my second life. I have realized more and more that this should be for me before anyone else and i'm not so worried now if people don't like it or find it interesting. I know when i'm looking back at these entries a year from now, it will be to me and that's the important part.

So here we go, my adventure begins today. Wish me luck!

Happy 420 from me and Vi..

To all those who celebrate! =) Here's a couple cool things for you to pick up if ya need some help enjoying the holiday in sl.



First up! This lovely FREE Peaceful Hippy Table from Mudhoney. This is just one of the gifts you can get from the stash hunt which consists of searching for little bags of the cheebs.

Vi's poison is the Cottonmouth Candy Blunt from Nicolas Sinatra which can be found on his xstreet.. here. And i'm enjoying the Blue Puffy from Redd Columbia's store -RC- Cluster.

So even if you don't spark up in rl.. live vicariously through your sl and have fun with it.

Peace and Love,
Megz

Same Damned Thing Challenge

When I saw Achariya's newest challenge, I knew I had to get on board! I'm always fascinated at how so many pieces of clothing in sl can be switched up and made new by adding it to something completely different. Like i've said before, I rarely buy things that I have to wear with one outfit specifically.

The Cambridge is an awesome example of versatility. I can't even tell you how many times i've worn this. It goes with everything. Here's what I came up with this time. It goes in a totally different direction than what you would normally associate with Armidi which is why I love it! =)

{Kinetix} - Review

Ready for a saucy post? Ok.. well not SO saucy.. there's no sexorz or anything.. but these poses i'm about to show you could definitely lead to some of that! ;) These are from Vernice Burks and Jermaine Docherty's pose shop, {Kinetix}, and they are hot!

First up we have Take Me Too which is pretty self explanatory. hehe I love this pose. It's sensual and sexy with a touch of tenderness. Ok.. whatever, basically it stays true it's name and one would expect much clothes ripping to take place very soon!



Next up is Don't Let Me Fall which is a bit on the sweeter side but still very sensual. This one is a bit more.. "I'll gently lay you down on this bed and THEN frantically tear off your clothes" haha What?! I had to keep it saucy right?? ;)



But seriously, these poses are very nicely done and very expressive. It's a great capture of emotion. Another thing I REALLY liked is that they seemed to fit me really well even though my av is on the smaller side. Major points there!

Also, they offer a frequent shopper program which is sweet as hell. Every time you purchase a pose, you will receive a proof of purchase in your folder. Save those up and when you get five, you get a FREE pose of your choice! How can ya beat that!?

The best jeans EVER! imo..

Ok so.. I'm all about versatility when it comes to my sl wardrobe. I would rather spend my lindens on something I can mix up and pair with several different looks than something I will only wear with certain things.. which usually ends up meaning that I won't wear it very often at all. These jeans from LikeA have nailed it! And the best part? Two of these were free group gifts!

This first pair is the only pair that I had to actually buy and they were still a good deal at only 150L. They're just the basic faded blue and they come with the extremely real looking sculpted cuffs and the system flare version as well. The sculpted cuffs have preset men and women settings or you can adjust them manually.



This second pair is one of the group gifts which also comes with a pair of red cargo pants (not shown). These are the damaged style which I love and they come with the larger, baggier version of the flare. *my fave*



You can also purchase 2 different styles of the cuffs in the store for only 35L and they go perfectly with all the blue denim styles so basically you can take each pair and wear it at least 3 different ways!

Buuuuut! If you hurry up and make it to the store before January 15th, you can grab this exclusive pair *FREE* that has yet another style of cuffs which adds a completely different look.





I'm also wearing the latest release from Violet Voltaire's Black Hearts set in Wicked. It also comes in two other styles and they all include doll keys! I loooove the little hearts in the chain, SO cute! This is no mediocre set, definitely worth picking up.

Absolute Zero = Absolute Gorgeous!

I woke up this morning to an awesome collaboration release. I can't even tell you how excited I am to be blogging this set! Winter is my favorite season and this captures it perfectly. This comes from four of SL's very talented creators and consists of 32 pieces, skins included, which makes this a total steal!! Not to mention that the jewelry, hair, and the bows on the shoes are all color change so you can play with tons of combos. Here are a couple that I came up with.





You can pick this up at any of the four stores listed below but you better hurry because it's only available until January 17th, 2009!
