Area posts still to come, (although I really should have done one for the last round of Kurenai, but since it is the last day today I figured that might be mean to anyone not reading this one the very first day I post it), but one more freebie post for the masses first!<br />
<br />
...Probably because I really like action shots and just don't get enough chances from my brain to do them. So on this rare occasion, I'm going to do a FULL fashion blog, including face and bodies, wh<span style="font-family: inherit;">ich I never do because... I always use the same one.</span><br />

Because I don't feel like making separate posts for all these images, I'm just going to group them together in one post and say that I've been a bit busy the past few days! I don't think it'll be too complicated, anyway, since most of these outfits are in sets-- as in, they're all gacha outfits, and they're mostly from the same gachas in each pic (with a few additions, such as the shoes and socks of the pic above being from another gacha... from the same vendor, LOL).<br />

So my end of August has been really busy with attempting new styles of photography in Second Life! Soon enough things will be busy once again as they were earlier this summer, and I'm going to really have to sit down and come up with not just fun photos, but entire storylines.<br />
<br />
Who's ready for NaNoWrimo this year? Certainly not me, not yet, and that's alright because there's a few months yet to prepare for it. No point in worrying about it before Halloween, but at the same time, I tend to like enjoying Halloween by using the entire month of October to celebrate, which means plotting needs to be done before then, or else I wouldn't really have time to do it! Here's hoping that in the coming months before it starts, I can convince some people to venture through this with me.<br />
<br />

Anyway, this is mostly a post hoping everyone's had a great summer so far, and maybe to introduce a few gachas and also test out several methods of taking Second Life pictures and lighting-- from indoor to outdoors, light to dark. I've been looking into roleplay areas, but so far haven't found anything that appealed especially to me just yet, although maybe I'll do a few posts to introduce a few of the games that you can find on Second Life.<br />
<br />
That is, when I can find the outfits and read through the rules for visitors on those sims. Yes, it gets a bit complicated, but that just means it's a good roleplay! I might choose something for science fiction, something for fantasy, and something for simple urban decay or city life. The former ones don't seem to appreciate younger looking avatars on the sim, so we'll see!<br />

Okay so I might still really need to clear up my inventory, because I have nearly 30k now (what's that, you ask? So little!), but that means I can't find a thing anymore until I go through everything and see what I can throw out and what should stay in my wardrobe.<br />
<br />
30k is a lot when you're going through things one by one!<br />
<br />
Which is why I probably reeeally shouldn't have dropped by <a href="https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Unbroken%20Isle/76/192/3089">Redeux</a>, but I couldn't help it, really! This is such a great event, and I can even prove it-- everything in this picture with the exception of body and face? They're gifts from <a href="https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Unbroken%20Isle/76/192/3089">Redeux</a> this round!<br />
<br />
This makes me feel super like an undercover secret agent sent to retrieve an important stolen artifact, sent with a group to a club to distract the thieves and then sneak away with the prize!<br />

It's been a very long time, but hey, I'm finally putting out a fashion post again! This time to celebrate the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ryukyu/154/164/26">Okinawa Summer Festival</a>, and there might even be <i>two</i> fashion posts from this event, surprise, surprise! Mostly because I went with my Godfath<span style="font-family: inherit;">er and and it just so happens that my adoption anniversary is coming up and I got to pick what I wanted from the Festival-- which were, really, only two things, but they were also two <i>rare gachas</i> so wow is that incredible?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I'm taking this picture with the help of my sister Bree, who has been working really hard on her issue of the newspaper this week and deserves a week full of naps and snacks, but instead I just managed to convince her to hit up an indoor pool with me so we could enjoy the last bit of summer without my worried too much about burning (oh my god, I've gotten <i>so</i> dark this summer...), and spend some time together!</span></span><br />

Wow, I've been gone for more than half a year on this blog! It's been a while since I focused on a single place or outfit, but I just wanted to get it on the record that I haven't dropped from Second Life or anything-- I've been quite busy this summer in-game, and having a blast still! Eleven and a half years on this platform, and there's still a tonne of stuff to see and do that I've never so much as touched before~ There's no possible way for me to actually do everything I want to do in time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

And the answer is... anything and everything you want! Don't limit yourself? Sure, it's a chat platform, and that's honestly primarily what I use it as, but it's also a way to go on an adventure with friends and family that might live far away from you. </div>
<br />
It's a way of building together and exploring together and having fun together, without having to leave the comfort of your home. I know for me, this summer has been an atrocity when it comes to temperature-- it's been way too hot to exist outside of an air conditioned room (even if that's what I had to do for the most part), but I've had plenty of laughs just chatting with people I love over SL and other platforms as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7yJRh1ioRvl8CikYdxQU0ra7Iarz6fjxnyDSa5JpgOyV1dB53quLixmVxYCw0OoGUTeT-P-sGkOQUx2L0dEnGERnk7yyPHht3EZ-RZvTr9CAstHtze-_ACg5n999CzHtbejoQIB0CM7E/s1600/Snapshot_213.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1100" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7yJRh1ioRvl8CikYdxQU0ra7Iarz6fjxnyDSa5JpgOyV1dB53quLixmVxYCw0OoGUTeT-P-sGkOQUx2L0dEnGERnk7yyPHht3EZ-RZvTr9CAstHtze-_ACg5n999CzHtbejoQIB0CM7E/s320/Snapshot_213.png" width="320" /></a>There's something about summer that brings out a lot of activities in the game, I think, despite my own claims that it's the most active during Halloween and Christmas season. From festivals to pool parties, movie nights and dances under the stars to vacations to escape the heat, there's always something going on (at all times, really!) on SL.<br />
<br />
I know in just the past month, I've scoured through the Crystal Heart faire and the mermaid event... lots of different faires had their birthday celebrations, which means a lot of free gifts that I honestly barely even had the time to go through at all! I didn't pick up a lot of stuff this year, but I'm still very happy with the things I did manage to get. I suppose that's the one thing in Second Life that will stay the same (or at least, I hope so)-- all the presents at various events! It's always nice to get some souvenirs from all the places I go to... ones I'll keep, anyway, since I still really need to clean out my inventory!<br />
<br />

There's too many summer festivals and games that have been replaced by shopping events, and it makes me just the slightest bit agitated because I was eagerly awaiting the summer festivals and games. <a href="http://kagamicreation.wixsite.com/sl-kagami">Kagami</a>, for one (and I've blogged about it before years ago) is a horror game that in the past had been free for anyone who steps onto the sim for the duration of August... but it's completely gone this year. Also gone is the gacha place I tend to frequent for second-hand items, since it tended to be both cute and cheap.<br />
<br />
Ahh, but that's how life goes, isn't it? Second Life, as well, is a fairly quick moving place when you look in the right direction. Sure, I have items from years and years ago that I use quite often, but for the most part, it's been quite the progression as well! (Double the prim space this year!) Prims to flexi to sculpti to mesh-- it's been a long ten years. But a fun one.<br />
<br />
And so, here's to another summer spent in-game~ hope everyone else's summer vacation was as quirky and adventurous as mine, perfect for bringing home plenty of photos and memories!<br />

So let's talk about how every year, Second Life's <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fun%20Time/128/128/622">Nightmare</a> takes me a bit out of my comfort zone. This event certainly plays with nightmares... and your deepest fears. I know last year I literally stood up from my computer and made my roommate navigate through a room because there was just this <i>one</i> area that triggered by trypophobia badly. Let's talk about how the Nightmare this year isn't for the faint of heart.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlu65YXrenBJpc_yjRo3ITXP6wSb-G9dycVcf3vrsiXz_6bRNL7meT61q7xDbd4YKJ87S6JMAlPvURra-m3lWQdZntuewNe8dw0LWlyNzGMFn1eyBDEG5_qJKoVWjRPylIijkFbhH77O8/s1600/Snapshot_190.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="1360" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlu65YXrenBJpc_yjRo3ITXP6wSb-G9dycVcf3vrsiXz_6bRNL7meT61q7xDbd4YKJ87S6JMAlPvURra-m3lWQdZntuewNe8dw0LWlyNzGMFn1eyBDEG5_qJKoVWjRPylIijkFbhH77O8/s320/Snapshot_190.png" width="320" /></a>Halloween is a fantastic time on Second Life-- I daresay it's the best time to experience this platform in general, due to all the enthusiasm all the creators have for the holiday, and the cheer all the residents gain from experiencing the numerous areas, hunts, games, and so forth that are given to them. It's certainly the time of year with the most to do-- you could say Christmas has the most to collect, but <i>Halloween</i> has the most interactive stories for you to play. All of those stories, of course, are centered along either the theme of horror or a fairy-tale fantasy element to make it magical and fun.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fun%20Time/128/128/622">The Nightmare</a> takes the horror theme and runs with it. They're not here to tell you some whimsical story, they're not here for happy bubbly cartoon witches hunched over cauldrons wishing children happy holidays; they're here to scare the pants off you. Or if that fails, make you <i>remember</i> them. This is an area of blood and gore and no punches pulled. In fact, the starting area is nearly pitch black with giant broken doll heads who have eyes that follow you.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxZLGIFEdlnaWfFXGZ0c9dyP6iatufcbZqSX1vwGh0cT0nRVMygIpmq9MbizBSKDUicL0d1TFaYVRBeoRuliJOvsPfGeMOZUzHBuHhFgQDoq6SjE1iSMqT5CTmHCXxTH099lrhTLG2CM/s1600/Snapshot_193.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="1360" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxZLGIFEdlnaWfFXGZ0c9dyP6iatufcbZqSX1vwGh0cT0nRVMygIpmq9MbizBSKDUicL0d1TFaYVRBeoRuliJOvsPfGeMOZUzHBuHhFgQDoq6SjE1iSMqT5CTmHCXxTH099lrhTLG2CM/s320/Snapshot_193.png" width="320" /></a>Get for setting up the mood, right?<br />
<br />
So there's so trigger warnings in this post, because you should know what you're getting into before you go. I don't try to guess the phobias they're going for, but it tends to be... rather specific in nature if you relate. Darkness, monsters, spiders, dolls... whatever it is, if you want to experience the Nightmare, you better girdle your loins first!<br />
<br />
The point of this place is mostly a hunt, though, and you're here to find a few keys and teeth this time. Keys to get you from place to place (sometimes you won't be able to progress without them, so always be on the lookout!), and 25 teeth will complete the HUD for you to unlock access to the shopping area... which has a gift from every vendor.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1mW5Bcm0fLS-rpC9ItiHr9UacU-qnrey53rQ6YOqGWHOg3Xxh2GyVErh2udRDHI-FtvnLASqjzTwx69NoCaK6wbSRDVAQpEDGSoF9F-N79n0vpzCxxaZ2jUrCdKCal9FpPUj8thyOWPU/s1600/Snapshot_197.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="1360" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1mW5Bcm0fLS-rpC9ItiHr9UacU-qnrey53rQ6YOqGWHOg3Xxh2GyVErh2udRDHI-FtvnLASqjzTwx69NoCaK6wbSRDVAQpEDGSoF9F-N79n0vpzCxxaZ2jUrCdKCal9FpPUj8thyOWPU/s320/Snapshot_197.png" width="320" /></a>Every. One.<br />
<br />
It's a lot, trust me! But keep in mind that the gifts can be in the theme of the Nightmare, so if you're disgusted by what you saw, you might not want to keep some of the gifts (like.... eyeballs... dripping out of mouths...), but otherwise there's some great stuff there that shouldn't be missed! I always recommend the Nightmare because it feels like the quintessential of what Halloween can be on Second Life-- and by that, I just mean pure Halloween spirit. No stories, no distractions, just atmosphere and a hunt that forces you to look in every corner you didn't want to look at.<br />
<br />
So are you ready?<br />
<br />
Do you dare?<br />

For the month of October this year, Calliope is hosting the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Calliope/70/135/28">Matsuri</a>, which is a beautifully done shopping event plus stamp rally hunt that's a little different than usual. How does it work, you might ask? Because it's a hunt that's.. not quite a hunt. </div>

And not just any item-- event exclusive items from any stall will give you a no copy stamp HUD that will take you to the stores of the creators were you look for a giant red sign (seriously, it's bigger than me, they'e not trying to hide it, folks) and click on it for a stamp. 15 stamps from 15 different stores, and you come back to the Matsuri to rezz your stamp card on a weight that will tell you if you have enough stamps or not. Once you get enough stamps, you get to choose from one of the prizes they're giving away. Then your card disappears. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the more you buy from the event, the more prizes you can get! But you do have to go and collect stamps each time. </div>

But, like... next month. So this is pre-emptive!) But less about the hunt and more about what I usually blog about, right? How beautiful and photogenic is this place, and will I be missing out on a Second Life experience if I don't make the time to come here? Is this place, a shopping district, really worth checking out if I'm not here to buy anything?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">WELL. Even if you're not here for the shopping event and stamp rally, you'd definitely be missing out if you don't check this place out. It's beautifully done, with two parts to the sim-- the shopping district, and the area to collect your stamp prizes, which also happens to have numerous buildings all decorated by the creators who are selling their works here. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Each building is impeccable and gorgeous, filled with little details that makes me really want to own everything made here. This place is adorable and beautiful at the same time, and it's really no wonder with the host of creators in this event.</span></div>

Okay, so I've got to apologise because it's been a <i>really</i> long time, and I've been to a LOT of places on Second Life in the meanwhile! In fact, the less of a week we're into October, I must have been to more than a dozen places to explore and play around. That just means I have less time to actually write about those places, which is a shame and something I should fix!<br /><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTYNOvUUlKRnA0BYdFPVimGCw96dNY4mElgRiJT-jzCvK3R5FVbt8qbPUXRsBkQvmuRWp9JWuJcQ-KyT1JZk44CpFFOS3YY9-0bczbzbzs08xSGbV71CUlB8c8gvJGuWg42Mv4MX_3gJU/s1600/Snapshot_125.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTYNOvUUlKRnA0BYdFPVimGCw96dNY4mElgRiJT-jzCvK3R5FVbt8qbPUXRsBkQvmuRWp9JWuJcQ-KyT1JZk44CpFFOS3YY9-0bczbzbzs08xSGbV71CUlB8c8gvJGuWg42Mv4MX_3gJU/s320/Snapshot_125.png" width="320" /></a>So let's get to what impressed me so much that I felt I had to come back and write something just for this.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYEbxsptUQAzAFwjOPsbAaYGKbkuYDKVxW66QS8V6oTVcairh7o-V9S0ykjRSySBU9WtajLC6JkV8Wc1uGVRH9-BdHlQqFzn_37srItiWHBMVJ26iB4PvpRDpsUyKpy4fgDdjoz1L39sk/s1600/Snapshot_123.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYEbxsptUQAzAFwjOPsbAaYGKbkuYDKVxW66QS8V6oTVcairh7o-V9S0ykjRSySBU9WtajLC6JkV8Wc1uGVRH9-BdHlQqFzn_37srItiWHBMVJ26iB4PvpRDpsUyKpy4fgDdjoz1L39sk/s320/Snapshot_123.png" width="320" /></a><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lost%20Boys/187/23/1002">The Ironwood Hills hunt.</a> I got a few notices about this from a few groups I'm subscribed to, and I love hunts, and this one had a HUD with a storyline? <i>Definitely</i> my kind of thing. So I grabbed my SL family and we set off with the intention of enjoying a game and then getting a bunch of free stuff at the end of it.<br />
<br />
And <i>boy</i>, did Ironwood deliver.<br />
<br />
As a warning, I took a lot of pictures there, and had to narrow it down to the few that could fit in this post.<br />
<br />
To put it gently, even if you weren't there with the promise of reward or interactive story, Ironwood Hills would be <i>beautiful</i>. It is detailed and it is extravagant at the same time. There are so many areas that are more than just the hunt, and if you speed through it, you're going to miss a lot! Say, for example with some tiny spoilers, at one point you're to talk to someone at the Asylum. This person is in the reception area right at the front, but the rest of the Asylum is fully furnished! There are so many rooms! There's an upstairs!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The same with just about every area you explore in town, and boy do they really make a town out there. Pubs, cafes, theatre, church, camp, cemetary, factories and such... it's all worth exploring, as there is so much care and attention to detail put into them. It's incredible.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlRqMaPiymDfZurqJybDykVucj6WHVnt0bSgtzqwXzInO6JnoLEe3lSpxQ8FmRRQcPyCftHO6sfYXD1orLgnDsLvVeETo3LQx24V92xZNSZHfC8El935-HqUC5Q11vo7Tbh9H3Sp_tq8/s1600/Snapshot_124.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlRqMaPiymDfZurqJybDykVucj6WHVnt0bSgtzqwXzInO6JnoLEe3lSpxQ8FmRRQcPyCftHO6sfYXD1orLgnDsLvVeETo3LQx24V92xZNSZHfC8El935-HqUC5Q11vo7Tbh9H3Sp_tq8/s320/Snapshot_124.png" width="320" /></a>I will also warn you: there was a <i>lot</i> of lag when when I went. I had to separate the storytime into two because the first time we all pretty much lagged out of the sim. There's a lot of interest in places like this, I'll tell you! An interactive story with prizes at the end? It's a goldmine if you want people coming to your sim.<br />
<br />
The second time I went, it was much better, but still slow. I doubt you'll ever find a time when this place is empty of people, though, so go when you can before the interactive story ends!<br />
<br />
Speaking of story, let's get on that: you're called in to look for a missing person by a certain Cyrus, who says that Alastor, the heir to the town founder, has been missing for a few days now. No one knows what happened to him, but he seemed a good sort and you're here to find him... or find out what happened to him. With the darkness and chaos in town, it really does seem like something bad's already happened to him... no one seems to blink an eye at the corpses strung in cafes or the bodies lying dead in pub bathrooms, after all.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjytsWH1r-BxrAD7wBcANUm-CqA2PJMPROdcbGaYHgDAq1bBclYlj4OtZzUjpPvGo0F9IKm72HUR2hAmupmFuDmF9ZdQfHvxm7Or05h6YbafJQGBTNvQaJiycrzoT5IpJxMwOd2f5-PjI/s1600/Snapshot_141.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjytsWH1r-BxrAD7wBcANUm-CqA2PJMPROdcbGaYHgDAq1bBclYlj4OtZzUjpPvGo0F9IKm72HUR2hAmupmFuDmF9ZdQfHvxm7Or05h6YbafJQGBTNvQaJiycrzoT5IpJxMwOd2f5-PjI/s320/Snapshot_141.png" width="320" /></a>It's very reminiscent of Silent Hill, and if anyone knows me at all, that's a strong compliment from me. I'm not sure the residents even see the true horror of their town, so used to it are they. It's like a personal purgatory of sorts.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6tt0meJrm7XUm0Rf2Nqfd2HcK70T33DfD2dWWTbt84dnG0uQoqZfzDQ3fLGwCkDizlcPV25mpS7jWKB4MLdZgZgNW2uieE2Ex7gy0CozinwzcY5x6GlHdpMRDBljxPZWL-I65Cxyd1mw/s1600/Snapshot_130.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6tt0meJrm7XUm0Rf2Nqfd2HcK70T33DfD2dWWTbt84dnG0uQoqZfzDQ3fLGwCkDizlcPV25mpS7jWKB4MLdZgZgNW2uieE2Ex7gy0CozinwzcY5x6GlHdpMRDBljxPZWL-I65Cxyd1mw/s320/Snapshot_130.png" width="320" /></a>Even more reminiscent is the direct homages they pay: the sirens drawing people to church, or even the Silent Hill theme playing in the mansion. The entire play is very atmospheric and draws you into the town like nothing else on Second Life. Even when the town is horrible and terrifying, there are parts that are somehow calm and beautiful as well. The pathway to the theatre is through a rainy forest with animals calmly grazing, and a treehouse hidden away. On the way to the carnival, there's a run down structure and lived in boat on the water.<br />
<br />
I will admit I got lost a few times trying to figure out where things were, simply because I didn't realise Ironwood Hills was so immersive and large. If not for the lag, I would definitely go back to take more detailed pictures and maybe do a few poses. Heck, I might do that anyway in the next few days, simply because I just can't let something so beautiful slip away without photographic evidence.<br />
<br />

Even without the prizes and interactive story, Ironwood Hills would be a place I would visit simply <i>because</i>. I'd love to see a Silent Hill roleplay here, without even needing the monsters.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9SBFs9BFWF9jqrHZSVWzNOSz4nX92bYTl2ZWsPZj3gmJ2bN7ow4YPIySRVAp9uXLGuKyNSsrNFajuby4pVsw1ak7hXKQpM-QgMhbvWyPUdIKcLR5ehJ0V7nuEBAtCZH_fB-9HXr62N-Q/s1600/Snapshot_127.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9SBFs9BFWF9jqrHZSVWzNOSz4nX92bYTl2ZWsPZj3gmJ2bN7ow4YPIySRVAp9uXLGuKyNSsrNFajuby4pVsw1ak7hXKQpM-QgMhbvWyPUdIKcLR5ehJ0V7nuEBAtCZH_fB-9HXr62N-Q/s320/Snapshot_127.png" width="320" /></a>I want to see more about this town, and more about the people of the town. The story HUD leaves everything ready for a sequel, but I'd love to hear more about all the other residents of Ironwood Hills. We encounter a colourful cast while exploring, and there's quite the history to this place. I feel like we've started this month's blogs with the very best already, and that might have been a mistake on my part.<br />
<br />
Whoops?<br />
<br />
(By the way, the prizes are <i>definitely </i>worth it.)<br />

Sadly, I've had several drafts half finished for a while now, haha~ but here's a quick Easter post because it's been so long, and there are plenty of Easter hunts to do out there!<br />
<br />
Everything featured in this image (with the exception of my actual avatar and hair) is actually free stuff that I've gathered throughout the years. A lot of it, therefore, may not be free any more, but here are some of the things might still be there this Easter!<br />

Sorry about the lack of updates recently! (Although if anyone knows this blog, they'll also know that I tend to update sporadically, haha...) It's been a long winter season (and we've just started!) and I've found myself too busy lately to go on the computer (is this the 21st century or isn't it?? I spent over four days in a row without touching my computer, getting everything off my phone...), so this is still going to be a short post because I need to get back into this!</div>

(Let's not... talk... other things.)<br />
<br />
I've mostly been going to really snowy / icy areas in Second Life lately half because it really has been snowing a lot in real life for me, and half because of my unholy obsession with Yuri on Ice lately (and SL really needs some beautiful skating outfits; I'd practically kill for them), so I've been looking around a lot of areas that include ice skating.<br />
<br />
The pictures in this post (and this isn't a fashion post, so oops?) are taken in two separate areas, one with an actual ice rink (not to mention a heck tonne of snow), and the other in a little cabin more dedicated for quiet reading and writing than anything else (because I'm always looking for more places like that).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNi8F4y92QLlCjPDM32wnjvatrUWBd2gLbgp1zTF0SVU8zxvP7aPVK4F_tWTTJAl-4V2Nmn3D80jlpk0n7h6BVJWVGpaCt47W1IOS2d6PlDqvEhMwOmcUYIBCo5RJ0Rxm0d8quFhURqs/s1600/Snapshot_011.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNi8F4y92QLlCjPDM32wnjvatrUWBd2gLbgp1zTF0SVU8zxvP7aPVK4F_tWTTJAl-4V2Nmn3D80jlpk0n7h6BVJWVGpaCt47W1IOS2d6PlDqvEhMwOmcUYIBCo5RJ0Rxm0d8quFhURqs/s320/Snapshot_011.png" width="320" /></a></div>
The middle two pictures are taken at the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ministry%20of%20media/158/178/3301">[ arts & letters ] literary salon</a>, which is a beautiful little place that allows voice for discussion and reading. No, it doesn't have an ice rink, but it's currently sweet and snowy there for a very peaceful atmosphere. The other area (with ice rink!), is <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eternally%20Yours/25/241/21">Nouvelles Aventures</a>, which... well, I haven't actually managed to explore this whole place yet because the ENTIRE area is super photogenic and it's very very large so that allows for a crazy amount of beautiful pictures.<br />
<br />
I'll probably go through a few more snowy areas before the season is out (and pray that I find more beautiful skating outfits-- c'mon, guys, nothing wrong with a little rhinestone and bedazzlement!), so look forward to that! <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❤</span><br />

<br />
So what have I been doing the past little while? I'm usually fairly active here around October, right? I love the scary stuffs, right?<br />
<br />
Ding, ding! That's correct! The thing is, I finally got the rare mesh head that I wanted (that's why I had excess of the same face for Iphys), and decided to finally take the plunge and splurge for a Maitreya body, which tends to be waaay more than I'm willing to spend for just about anything. I think it's actually my largest purchase in Second Life in... well, ever. So it took me a while to stop cringing, to tell the truth. But I love it! I love the sheer amount of clothing made to fit Maitreya, and I love the crazy amount of alpha hiding. Now I can actually wear more than before due to the bits and pieces of the body that I can hide.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/54418160@N02/29663718953/in/pool-2412130@N20/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv43FNjatzdVUoMfAe9A2Xl80h3RACAgsyFkhzWY1nHGgIaZF9Qk1pInpW7Ol-vZEIddGi0PKopmXzcLX-8dOEsbsq5DbXsmer4LenuqYcqDN6iqQeuxMQRf6mv25nfZEcs1FucTM9rBI/s320/Untitled1.png" width="320" /></a>So what else have I been doing? Well, I've got my heart set on the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2412130@N20/pool/">FabFree Photo Challenge</a>, so I've been taking pictures for that. I'll showcase a few here, and if you want to get the outfits, then just click on the pictures-- it'll take you to the Flickr page which will have the links to get all the free items... since that's what the Challenge requires!<br />
<br />
Most of what I've been doing is testing my own photography skills, to be honest. I have a tendency of snapping a nice picture on Second Life and then throwing open Photoshop just to either crop or resize it a little without changing anything at all. I've seen so many other people with super amazing pictures that looks like the entire thing was created from scratch on Photoshop and never understood why anyone would want to take more than thirty seconds on it.<br />
<br />
Well, that's what I'm doing now. Taking a bit more than thirty seconds. Granted, most of it is still definitely time spent on Second Life adjusting lighting to get the images right, now I'm doing just a bit more editting to get the colours just a little bit more eye-catching.<br />
<br />
Maybe soon I'll learn to do more than that! Who knows?<br />

Today we've got a very special entry, created with a <i>lot</i> of help from someone who decided to finally make an account. In exchange for letting me take pictures of the <a href="http://i.imgur.com/cWMNrpg.jpg">new newbie area</a> (I was curious! It's been a very, very long time since I signed up) and using her for this post, I'd make sure she had everything she needed to not feel inadequate in-game.<br />

As of this post, her avatar is 5 days old and I swear I've done nothing more than give her a single gacha item I had two of, and 5L for her to join the <a href="secondlife:///app/group/22874c32-502f-f4d9-fbdc-97205dad4b13/about">Third Life</a> group. Every single thing she's accumulated beyond that is entirely free. Sit back for this long, long ride! (Long for me, lot of links for you.)<br />
<br />
I didn't have all that much time to guide her around the first day, so we started with the basics: after a few minutes spent learning controls and how to fly, etc, I threw a mesh head I got at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Junin/149/217/22">SOMEMORE gacha</a> for 88L at her and the 5L to join <a href="secondlife:///app/group/22874c32-502f-f4d9-fbdc-97205dad4b13/about">Third Life</a>, and covered basic shapes to start with. She put on the head, adjusted her avatar, and then it as off to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Strata/86/195/904">Poetic Colors</a> to get her some better eyes. After that was a stop off <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/CalanDiva/169/120/30">D!va</a> for hair, and then we dropped off the Edelweiss booth at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/INSILICO/189/181/3602">Insilico</a> for an Attack on Titan uniform (easy to put on and all) and that was all the time I had for the first day.<br />

Of course, being that she was of a realistic height and the head looks quite young, she decided that she didn't want to look so childish, so on day 2 and 3 we went for different mesh hair and clothes. We picked up a few hair gifts from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Black%20Frost/201/226/1002">[Mello]</a>, joined the <a href="secondlife:///app/group/b23b775b-c35b-7464-cdd7-026987d42963/about">pr!tty</a> group for a gift in it's notices, and then went on to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/KOREA/118/123/2002">[VALE KOER]</a> for some shoes and socks. After that we hit up <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/COCO%20DESIGNS/113/196/23">*COCO*</a> and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Orchid/13/197/22">Zenith</a> and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Loki/128/12/29">{amiable}</a> and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SleeplessMUSIC/68/207/22">M*Motion</a> and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Manduca/134/225/601">::S@bbia::</a> and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ni/136/113/28">M.I.X.*</a> for some really kick-ass group gifts.

She picked up a pair of sculpted hands from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ZI%20Treasure%20Island/64/192/1">::YEGRINA::</a> (lucky board item that I had no patience for), and then we started up again the next day.<br />
<br />
Day 4 we hit up <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Getsuga/116/142/26">Caboodle</a> and realised there was a grid wide hunt going on, so I managed to get a few new items myself! After that it was a stop off at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Addams%20Land/120/115/147">Addams</a>, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Midnight%20Island/196/178/22">EmilyC</a>, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Walcha%20Plain/232/28/3003">ZD</a>, and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Diamond%20Oasis/137/64/27">Snowpaws</a>. We went for some more hair after that for different occasions: dropped off at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Truth/116/128/25">Truth</a>, and then <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/MINA%20Hair/180/123/30">MINA</a>.<br />
<br />
Day 5 was a round tour to pick up all the gifts at the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Coastline/128/126/22">You.Gatcha</a> event, and a stop off to the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Emerald/167/127/26">White Armory</a> to get something nice and fancy.<br />
<br />
I got curious about the items nowadays that were out for new avatars under 30 days, so we went around... a lot of different sims that didn't offer very good stuff. Most of the gifts were years old and entirely out of date, but <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Snatch%20City/121/135/30">Sna@tch</a> seemed to have a pretty decent outfit for newbies, and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Grand%20Isle/86/171/23">Kastle Rock Couture</a> has a 500L gift card for newbies.<br />
<br />
There's just... so, <i>so</i> many outfits I didn't take pictures of. <i>SO</i> many. But we got dozens of outfits and Iphys didn't have the patience to go through everything just for me to take pictures of her (and you might have noticed I like taking pictures of her), and with all the sim-hopping I haven't gotten around to organising anything of my own inventory yet. All of this were just a few of my favourite stores and a cursory search off the <a href="http://third-sl.blogspot.ca/">Third Life website</a>. I learned that a few of my favourites were gone (SMC, for instance), and that a lot of others were obsolete (oh, whatever happened to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bare%20Rose/187/30/31">BareRose</a>...)<br />
<br />
Everything I mentioned here must have been... maybe <i>half</i> of the stores we went to. Most likely not even that. I'm afraid I lost track after a while, though. Either way, it was a successful outing, and I hope it was a fun introduction to Second Life for her (and for whoever might be using this post!), so I'll leave you guys with just one last picture-- this time, one she agreed to take with me.<br />

As I've apparently skipped over the SL13 celebrations (I hope other people haven't! It's just... X-Men: Apocalypse came out and drew me back into the X-Men fandom-- yeah, I'll stop there. XD), I've only got a rather short post today because of this utterly adorable outfit from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Chestnut%20Valley/77/218/28">Vicarious Youth</a>!<br />
<br />
In case my <a href="http://shameraklotho.blogspot.ca/2016/04/love-from-mattie.html">previous kid post</a> with cute stuff from that store didn't inspire a quick peek, then perhaps this cute boy outfit might! Shirt, pants, <i>and</i> shoes all from the store!<br />

<br />
Alright, so 'Kemono' and 'kid' isn't something you usually hear in the same sentence together-- at least not on Second Life (I can't claim I know much f the usage of the word 'kemono' <i>off</i> Second Life, but I know there are Google results!). And just why is that? While <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Peaceful%20Haven/131/106/2003">Utilizator's</a> Avatar 2.0 has a sweet, rounded face and body, Kemono bodies tend to be more slender (outside of the hips and thighs-- let's not ever talk about the hips and thighs there) and with the naturally small chest on the mesh body (easily changed for entirely flat chest), it should be a decent option for a childish mesh avatar from kid to young teen, right?<br />
<br />
Well... there are plenty of child mesh bodies out there now. The most popular being, of course, being <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/182374">Toddleedoo</a> followed closely by <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/SMB-Mesh-Body-for-Kids/4736390">SMB</a>. Unless you spend all your time on Adult sims doing... adult things, chances are you've seen quite a few kids on Second Life wandering around-- there's a thriving family community here, and plenty of spaces to reclaim your inner child. But despite my affinity for <a href="http://shameraklotho.blogspot.ca/2011/02/child-avatars.html">playing a kid</a>, I waited quite a few years before I pushed into the mesh territory to try my hand at a boy avatar. I didn't like any of the kid mesh out there, and I already trusted <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Peaceful%20Haven/131/106/2003">Utilizator</a> mesh, so... despite the Kemono being targeted more at the Furry community, I knew I had to try my hand with its human counter-part to see how well it could be adopted. It's such a beautiful avatar, after all, so why isn't it more commonly used?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd41YPcJtRXvO4bw091r_KyncLsoR-Ywm2-VWdkndLsM52thyAgBnFPpBbBpmBbumBfaIb2InPubiVPz0LWS71ZFcwIP9ZAwu3mn8HAslNP2Ul5aOgwKRO2XlTvlBOlh2kqYxee3JEy1A/s1600/Snapshot_027.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd41YPcJtRXvO4bw091r_KyncLsoR-Ywm2-VWdkndLsM52thyAgBnFPpBbBpmBbumBfaIb2InPubiVPz0LWS71ZFcwIP9ZAwu3mn8HAslNP2Ul5aOgwKRO2XlTvlBOlh2kqYxee3JEy1A/s400/Snapshot_027.png" width="338" /></a></div>
<br />
Likely because of the above pictures. As adorable as my avatar turned out with Kemono, it would be rather foolish to keep it if none of the clothing could fit, right? The two biggest problems I ran into were: your normal SL mesh clothing seemed to lean just a few centimetres in front of your body, meaning unless the clothes were made specifically for the Kemono, nothing would fit at the collar and anywhere that the torso and even legs were revealed. The second issue, while not as prominent and alarming, was that for some reason the area around the ankles would be elongated greatly while wearing mesh. This meant that pants were suddenly too short (would show the ankles) and that shoes that touched the ankles were too high.<br />
<br />
Luckily, the ankle problem can be fixed! It took me far too long to figure this out, but... when you get your Kemono avatar, there is an item in the folder called <i>Bonus Items</i>. Rez that, open it, and within there is something called <i>Kemono Body (No leg deformations)</i> along with the version number. Wear that instead, and it will turn you legs into... <i>voilà</i>, the third image shown above, with the really weird looking ankles. But that means you can wear jeans and boots, even if you can't really pair jeans with bare feet.<br />
<br />
Because of this, I have two shapes I use with my Kemono: one shape for shorts (with the original Kemono avatar) and below the ankle sneakers, and the other shape for jeans and above ankle sneakers. Both are always paired with a scarf or something of the like... let's just say it's a quirk my boy avatar has, then.<br />

<br />
I figured it's time I shared one of my favourite places to go when looking for photoshoot oppotunities-- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Laluna%20Island/74/69/30">Frisland</a>. This cloudy, sleepy little island is not only one of the most beautiful places I've seen in Second Life, but also happens to be extremely accomodating for those looking for beautiful pictures-- join the group, and you get temporary rez rights to allow you a space to put down your pose balls if need be.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlTv4jYHLcj_kXCDq9mDfFNTmubjNrMi2amYhwI_HalTOssWpf8Vj_N_NrusTAkxdSqiCoqR5R46pswG9NUbgxERSFzx_0y09nsvQXnWkQuzxr529CBQfh472a9vbYuUXqCThbo3PRQhQ/s1600/Snapshot_020.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlTv4jYHLcj_kXCDq9mDfFNTmubjNrMi2amYhwI_HalTOssWpf8Vj_N_NrusTAkxdSqiCoqR5R46pswG9NUbgxERSFzx_0y09nsvQXnWkQuzxr529CBQfh472a9vbYuUXqCThbo3PRQhQ/s320/Snapshot_020.png" width="320" /></a>This idyllic isle is the perfect place not only to take photos, but to enjoy the calm serenity that can be offered. There are birds chirping, farm animals grazing, and buildings interspaced that serve from housing to schools to windmills and barns, to a tiny rustic chapel at one corner of the island, just waiting for someone to come and sit in search of inner peace.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhnw_ONp4PHChsTzOcQoE5GUxaQZUqE3JX9cJ8kZlDg3gw9VTKYsmwgH1hia7LNPSZns9La_vcZaNaS7PeW97qZqqZ1mewPK9kgstfSyyKqf60uA6H1QuLbQL6f8R5Bxif2d22KZthmYE/s1600/Snapshot_018.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhnw_ONp4PHChsTzOcQoE5GUxaQZUqE3JX9cJ8kZlDg3gw9VTKYsmwgH1hia7LNPSZns9La_vcZaNaS7PeW97qZqqZ1mewPK9kgstfSyyKqf60uA6H1QuLbQL6f8R5Bxif2d22KZthmYE/s320/Snapshot_018.png" width="320" /></a>I've never truly seen anything else of its like on Second Life. Every inch of this island provides new and different opportunities for spending time with friends and family online, taking some of the most beautiful photos I've encountered so far. I could churn out dozens and dozens of pictures for this post, and none would be able to do the entire sim a bit of justice.<br />
<br />
There's something soft and sweet here, like honeysuckle in the summer heat, and yet cool enough to make you shiver. A summer storm, perhaps. The grass and leaves are silken to the eyes, and the entire sim embraces that feeling of a calm sanctuary.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd92UJOo-dMKO2SmeREHd32-AoY5W5oNjJr44YiQzSh7ccId6AOHjqddWTD_cmsCUvfnr7xoAGY1Un7CFTddtG3NrvjqlI-dSr3siCzvXvgjXDJ3EHpWzGqki-HFR9Fru7M5Mx97pW_8c/s1600/Snapshot_019.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd92UJOo-dMKO2SmeREHd32-AoY5W5oNjJr44YiQzSh7ccId6AOHjqddWTD_cmsCUvfnr7xoAGY1Un7CFTddtG3NrvjqlI-dSr3siCzvXvgjXDJ3EHpWzGqki-HFR9Fru7M5Mx97pW_8c/s320/Snapshot_019.png" width="320" /></a>From camping grounds to beaches to little alcoves tucked away behind flower-ladden trees and birdcall, this entire place is a visual embodiment of how I felt a Tennyson poem would be-- not so much his Arthurian works, but more like <a href="http://www.online-literature.com/tennyson/4092/">The Islet</a>: <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMLxVPypStDVNgxxlqHFVpiBlIxRi3Y4vjgu1oQVuUY-SsL6m79SxFFNRXxJR-pUDchuQodHd-IFTpfAvfikdv3dvGMdxIdZ8sM9KjxIxpsUELbzUJCzzWzPRFde-zJpo3NVJNZMKZ2Vo/s1600/Snapshot_021.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMLxVPypStDVNgxxlqHFVpiBlIxRi3Y4vjgu1oQVuUY-SsL6m79SxFFNRXxJR-pUDchuQodHd-IFTpfAvfikdv3dvGMdxIdZ8sM9KjxIxpsUELbzUJCzzWzPRFde-zJpo3NVJNZMKZ2Vo/s320/Snapshot_021.png" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>a sweet little Eden on earth that I know,<br />A mountain islet pointed and peak'd;<br />Waves on a diamond shingle dash,<br />Cataract brooks to the ocean run,<br />Fairily-delicate palaces shine<br />Mixt with myrtle and clad with vine,<br />And overstream'd and silvery-streak'd<br />With many a rivulet high against the Sun<br />The facets of the glorious mountain flash<br />Above the valleys of palm and pine.'</i></span><br />
<br />
Obvious, the comparison isn't perfect (I'm over writing reports on poetry!), but it's the essence that I feel runs parallel and true. <br />

Yes, that sounds like a great idea because my inventory is totally going to thank me for pulling two events in two days. But then again, events like this (with loads of beautifully made freebies) tend to be extremely crowded, so when I found that it was still easy to get into <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/FaMESHed/131/161/22">FaMESHed</a> today, I knew I just had to take the chance.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOIOcNiYGdxyPR0ng1UTnfabq5hXMJcwKm1OWykRLu6_fcNhx_M9_MDIHslhZhAzxvxDUM2jaj-0cgwYJOcZp-YdJmiPqbT0jE4KuEfSDgVMEFzRLVu9zz1d6FXa1S_m0OLJOiL84hT8Y/s1600/Untitled3.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOIOcNiYGdxyPR0ng1UTnfabq5hXMJcwKm1OWykRLu6_fcNhx_M9_MDIHslhZhAzxvxDUM2jaj-0cgwYJOcZp-YdJmiPqbT0jE4KuEfSDgVMEFzRLVu9zz1d6FXa1S_m0OLJOiL84hT8Y/s400/Untitled3.png" width="225" /></a>This month <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/FaMESHed/131/161/22">FaMESHed</a> is celebrating its fourth year, and that means that sheer amount of item put out as gifts (yes, you need to join the group. Yes, the group is free!) is quite astonishing, and the majority is more than the usual trinkets I sort through when I go to places with small gifts! This month seems to spring multiple outfits, dresses, shoes, furniture, and various accessories that took me quite some time to sort through. What I've found somewhat disappointing, however, and this isn't a slur to the event or the vendors, is that a lot of places are slowly fazing out the old SL standard mesh sizes to be replaced with certain brands like Maitraya or Slink. While great for them-- this is somewhat devastating to me because the Avatar 2.0 fits the standard sizes well but not the special sizes.<br />
<br />
Thus, I won't be showing any of the shoes that I've managed to collect, because goodness knows I'd save up loads for someone to make socks for the Avatar 2.0 that would work perfectly for Slink sizes as well. Let's not even mention normal Kemono socks. I think I'll actually try my own hand at mesh and textures if I can just get some normal ankle socks for my little boy.<br />
<br />
Speaking of little boy, though! I'm borrowing Zerou today and aging him up to show another one of the very dapper gifts from the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/FaMESHed/131/161/22">FaMESHed</a> event. He's not exactly happy about it, but it's always good to prepare some outfits for when he grows up, right? <br />
<br />
I'm starting a collection of clothes he can wear as an adult, because good men's mesh don't come around often as gifts so he's going to need all the time and help he's going to get.<br />

<br />
So it might be really unusual for me to forego my standard glasses and dark brown / black hair (except recently when I've been favouring blue hair thanks to having worked hard to bleach and dye my hair blue in real life), but I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to showcases the gifts offered for the 3rd anniversary of <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dreamlove/87/133/1237">The Chapter Four</a>!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVsjSYxP_a-a53ufazF4VG3VjJLt3naU955RvfGRpMhQWjwXxNODGoncjNLV55asT9l9e0QkRsxpiHj9iwBg5lat1CzU9bn9QdUo7RpJXCEgz4Qti1m_JB0cHzAFzHNvo3h3BmGVa79g/s1600/Untitled-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVsjSYxP_a-a53ufazF4VG3VjJLt3naU955RvfGRpMhQWjwXxNODGoncjNLV55asT9l9e0QkRsxpiHj9iwBg5lat1CzU9bn9QdUo7RpJXCEgz4Qti1m_JB0cHzAFzHNvo3h3BmGVa79g/s320/Untitled-1.png" width="320" /></a>Yes, you need to join their group in order to get the gifts, but the group is entirely free and there are just so many talented people there that it'd be a shame to miss out just because you don't have a group slot left.<br />
<br />
Everything on my person at the moment outside of my actual avatar and skin is a gift from The Chapter Four-- even the pose (from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Legione/74/178/22">Le Poppycock</a>)! And there are plenty more item that I'm not showcasing because I've only decided to put one outfit together for this post and there <i>are</i> various items included that wouldn't really fit the Avatar 2.0 (such as skin applicators and numerous pairs of shoes that would require mesh socks compatible with slink that I've bought in the past and therefore isn't a part of the gifts group), and I have a tendency to delete accessories if I feel like I would never use them anyway. So these are just my favourites among the lot!<br />

Now, I know I said there'd be a few more fashion posts, but I was just enamoured with this place the moment I saw it and knew it had to be on this blog!<br />
<br />

It <i>is</i> an Adult sim, so I don't recommend bringing the little ones along on this ride, although the Adult rating is more for the horror aspect (as well as naked corpses sewn on the ground) than it having anything to do with sex. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpWqgs_YrEpkkuTbOofpSI5y9OkkS8PTshq906RA2C0PA_4jwZKXmCHBYo71d5i_ATd4QQiqgbKvPyVtEQ9vMYK1bJtEWOmW3uxGRa6xk_UbdZ8Rs5SdVog22zo0mhmxSRA6olMNiGUO0/s1600/Snapshot_002.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpWqgs_YrEpkkuTbOofpSI5y9OkkS8PTshq906RA2C0PA_4jwZKXmCHBYo71d5i_ATd4QQiqgbKvPyVtEQ9vMYK1bJtEWOmW3uxGRa6xk_UbdZ8Rs5SdVog22zo0mhmxSRA6olMNiGUO0/s320/Snapshot_002.png" width="320" /></a>From what I can tell, there's no game going on here (although it would definitely be amazingly cool if the creators were to make a game out of this place!), a Mystery seems to be a part of the title here. What happened? It looks like an old abandoned carnival ground, with some very questionable blood strewn over the place and green pollutants in the air. One side of the island is inhabited by killer clowns and broken down buildings and rides.<br />
<br />
On the other side, however, is something else entirely-- reminding me a lot more of a video game come to life within the confines of Second Life. There are skeleton archers, mages, statues of Goddesses, and monsters that look like they've stepped straight out of MMO rather than a carnival. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9z3R-tnen68DwfB9TJOnK97mZQLLEr0HX1I_ye8tmHOKO8uHdPAjQcW5RQGYU-x3Cq9WZFJ06n_6yOGMP_rGGAWbH9T-GNs5HwNOhETeHQRuvd9mAz-S57LaSF509Qk1OyQbyqn7D_XY/s1600/Snapshot_008.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9z3R-tnen68DwfB9TJOnK97mZQLLEr0HX1I_ye8tmHOKO8uHdPAjQcW5RQGYU-x3Cq9WZFJ06n_6yOGMP_rGGAWbH9T-GNs5HwNOhETeHQRuvd9mAz-S57LaSF509Qk1OyQbyqn7D_XY/s320/Snapshot_008.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgonRNQoGtqdbaRDYKd7w8UXRMcoXJukkt3PjxNNMkaCiXdjfYpV_cJu_-VoBhwJknsOv7mPWBIOTI2ex1Lk4P7fzz-s0uabIfH8TEdGVF1PUoXyjfRfICTik-xktE-LBGydq-08rfk7fU/s1600/Snapshot_007.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgonRNQoGtqdbaRDYKd7w8UXRMcoXJukkt3PjxNNMkaCiXdjfYpV_cJu_-VoBhwJknsOv7mPWBIOTI2ex1Lk4P7fzz-s0uabIfH8TEdGVF1PUoXyjfRfICTik-xktE-LBGydq-08rfk7fU/s320/Snapshot_007.png" width="320" /></a>And it works! Likely because the two areas, despite both being Disturbia, are on separate little islands connected by a thin wooden bridge. Unfortunately for me, I didn't feel like one outfit could cut both sides of the bridge, so I kept the MMO area unfiltered by my trapeze outfit. Although that just means I'll have to remember this place again when I want to actually do an MMO shoot (which I've been meaning to look into recently because I'm ever so slowly collecting pieces that would make up an elven archer on SL!).<br />
<br />
Most of the photogenic areas on both little islands are nice and spaced out, though, so there's minimal lag despite the sheer amount of detail and textures on everything here. That make it a pretty ideal place for pictures if you're looking for something that's slightly horror, slightly video game-ish! It's not often that I find a place as beautiful as this that isn't made by either MadPea or Bryn Oh. Despite the crazy amount of horror sims on Second Life, there still aren't that many which will invest in the amount of graphics that an entire sim of detailed mesh will take. It's nice to see a place bringing SL out of the boxy prim era.<br />

Sooooo~ happy fun times, but not a day after I made the previous post regarding child fashions, my computer decides to subject me to multiple blue screens of death! Luckily, my laptop isn't too opposed to Second Life, although it won't let me on for too long at my usual graphics (set to Ultra because I'm spoiled like that).<br />
<br />
Thus, it'll be a short post with just Mattie today! I've found that while the Avatar 2.0 seems to suit the child avatars better than, say, the Kemono (which has <i>issues</i> with the body being a few inches in front of the clothes, but I'll get to that in another post), it still doesn't quite fit most of the children's very... very skinny fashions. What can I say? I certainly hadn't been that skinny as a child, so I appreciate this avatar much more with the flat chest if I'm going for sizes.<br />
<br />
That being said, what Avatar 2.0 <i>is</i> good for, though... is all those in-between fashions!<br />
<br />
For now, I'll just showcase a few things: CoCo, STYLE, Adorkable, and Vicarious Youth.<br />

So I feel a little awful for leaving this blog unattended for so long-- but at the very least I can say that I'm still on Second Life! In fact, I've spent the past few months clearing out my inventory (and for anyone who's been on Second Life for years, they'd know how hard that is to do!), brings the ridiculous number I see when I sign on to something far more manageable. That means going back and clearing everything non-mesh from my clothing folder (should I have done that years ago, I suppose) and then slowly (I'm still doing this) going through all my mesh items and then deleting all the sizes that I don't need.<br />
<br />
I've discovered that I have far too many clothes for me to ever wear in the course of a whole year. Why do I keep so many things? Not to mention, the majority of it is all freebies and hunt items, so they don't always look the very best or fit my style... which is to say, a style that's a lot more childish than the majority of SL's runway fashions. I tend to like things I would actually wear in real life, and thus the more revealing clothes are out.<br />
<br />
So, with the help of my old alts (which I've recently dusted off and also spent a good amount of time clearing out all junk in their inventory), let's have the next few posts focus on a more modest fashion-- from kids to young adults, using Utilizator's mesh avatars (because why not? I've used the same avatar the entire time I've run this blog) and trying to fit the freebie lifestyle (mesh avatars themselves are expensive, so I'm not left with a lot after getting just the basics!) and different niches of items.<br />
<br />
Let's get ready to ruuuumble~<br />

<br />
So normally I have lots of posts of Halloween, and this year is no exception! The only thing is that I seem to have posted everything on other sites (tumblr, flickr), so I'm going to move them over-- expect a barrage!<br />

Sure, there's a great number of sims that seem to be stuck in the 2004-2007 era in terms of graphics, but that's actually not the majority of places I see. Most other areas are incredibly proud of how beautiful Second Life can be, and they show it!<br />
<br />
The pictures in this post were taken at a sim called <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Trace%20Too/9/129/21"><i>The Trace</i></a>, and yes it IS this beautiful there. I've even gif'ed the area to show that it really is as beautiful as it looks, and that it's the perfect place to go for some autumn relaxation and explorations!<br />

Since I promised a fashion post (2 posts ago), this one is going to be a little thing to talk about the free mesh clothing you can get at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gypsy%20Moon/175/45/24">!gO!</a> that they have lined up outside the stores ($1L per outfit), and a little bit just practicing my photography now that I've actually updated my Firestorm Viewer.<br />

A reminder that: <i>yes</i>, I am still using the Avatar 2.0 body, and this cute turquoise summer outfits fits just about perfectly-- sparing an inch or two around the waist for the skirt (and thus I put on a bikini underneath).<br />
<br />
I'll leave this post at just this outfit (there are <i>plenty</i> of other mesh outfits outside the !gO! store, but be aware that most of them will not fit as perfectly as this outfit, although thanks to the latest Avatar 2.0 updates most of those outfits will fit with a little bit of tweaking), as while the hair and sandals were both free, they're expired items (unless you collected free things from the Hair Faire this year and just haven't opened all the boxes, this is one of the hairs we got!) and I'll try to do a few more outfits in my next post!Shamera Kohimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17676142651152530404noreply@blogger.com0
