I have missed blogging and I hope you’ve missed me too because as long as this urge lasts you’re stuck with me. Photography has almost always been a part of my SL and lately I have seen some really great pieces and I so desperately want to learn the techniques to make better images. Any tips or tutorial links in the comments are much appreciated.
Most of what I am wearing is from the current March 2014 “Back to Business” round of Collabor 88. Credits are available after the cut.
I’m going to ramble a bit and then get to the point. I tried going to sleep at a reasonable time last night and after laying in bed for 4 hours I gave up. Came on SL and surprise, I guess today was Christmas for me because I got these totally awesome new MESH MESH MESH dresses from JANE.
Please ignore the quality of this photo, that’s actually what the title of the post is about. Anything that could go wrong trying to take this photo did. I’m having the worse issues with my graphics and I don’t even know what to do anymore. OpenGL issue with a GTX 460 card. Anyone else having this problem or had that can help me troubleshoot that would be awesome.
Anyway, to the point… How totally cute are those boots? While I was digging through my inventory to find the right shoes I got the Lelutka notice for these new boots so I went over and grabbed them and my look was complete.

I was nervous about mesh, I’ll be honest. Tonight with the newest release from Janie Marlow, I’ve fallen in love with mesh. How incredible is it that we won’t have sculpts going through our little avi bodies anymore! I’m totally siked!
In order to see mesh items properly you need to be on the latest LL released Beta viewer. Viewer 3! Don’t worry, it isn’t so bad! I promise you won’t melt or anything by logging on an LL viewer.

This look was inspired by the lovely jacket from d. Select that reminds me of one of my treasured possessions is an old quilted jacket. I was lucky to have known my great-grandparents, and even luckier to have two of my great-grandparents still alive and well into advanced age. Anyway, my great-grandmother, whom we lovely called Big Mamma, was a seamstress at times. She had this tradition that she handmade a quilt each time a grandchild got married. She passed away before I received my quilt. Continue reading
Typically we post clothing and skins here but today I’m going to break the unwritten rules. I bought this pose from Glitterati some time ago but hadn’t gotten to use it until last night. This is probably my favorite pose that I have in my inventory. It is comfortable and looks so natural.
I mostly wanted to post this photo to share the pose but also the image. When I started blogging it was because I take tons of photos and I never do anything with them more than upload them to Flickr. Blogging was a way to “show off” some of what I do from shopping for clothing and hair to poses and the obvious, taking photos.

It all started with the gorgeous maxi skirts from G Field. Mariah showed up with the purple version, which prompted Vernice to get yellow version. Our new team member Katelynn (you will be seeing more of her soon) then proceeded to pull out the yellow version. We all styled out skirts different ways according to our own personal styles and had an impromptu photoshoot in Vernice’s backyard. Impromptu photos sometimes make for the best pictures.
Haven’t done a LOTD in a while, really haven’t had my styling mojo in a minute. I had to do a styling for an audition and I liked the end result so I decided to put it on the blog.
This week was challenging, not because of the color but because I’ve been sick for about two weeks. Thank you to the people tha t IM’ed me and wished me well, I’m still here and I’m not going anywhere. Anyway, a very fun and flirty look that is also relaxed and season appropriate. Now if you excuse me, I have a bed with my name on it.
Week #10 and I’m still going. I know that I have been only doing the color challenges of late but I promise all of my two fans that I’ll be motivated enough to do a proper blog one day. Until then, enjoy the colors!
