Fashion Update

Hello all!! and Happy New Year! OK so 2010 is upon us. So much has become hot and then not. As you look at some of my pictures on the blog, you can see my many phases ive gone through. Right now its goth. I went through this phase about six months ago and loved it so much I needed to go back. There are some great stores out there to build on this look. GothiCats is an old fave. Ive been buying outfits from them since the beginning. 2007 I bought great Rock and Roll style outfits when I went through my head bangers phase. Now they have kick ass outfits for all. Neko happy people defiantly need to try this store out. YES when I went through my Neko phase in 2008 I bought many an outfit there. Few other great stops are CK and A&M. For basic things like jeans, League, with their bandanna in the back pocket and Dutch Touch with just fantastic basics all round...both a must see. Now, I feel that I need to comment on the sculpted feet that showed up last year. I think we all have one or two or ten pairs of these shoes now. But I felt I needed to comment on my favorite place to buy them. After going all around sl, looking at quality etc, my favorite is bar-nun Maitreya. Yes they are on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Good quality that are easy to match to your skin tone. So go check them out. On the subject of shoes, my gurl Tia gave me a Christmas present from N-core. OMG the boots there are fantastic and a must have. They have sculpty feet shoes also, I have not seen them on however so im not sure how they look etc.

So for the start of 2010, my words of wisdom for fashion are...... Find what makes you happy. There is something for everyone. Always feel free to send me a notecard with questions and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. And as always..HAPPY SHOPPING!! Peace :)

Owning/Renting Land 101

So you think its time to get your own slice of SL now? You been in sl for what….2 weeks? Yeah lol its time. So I thought I might give you some ins and outs of owning & renting.

First, you may ask, what’s the difference? Well in most cases not much. I would recommend renting first…find a sim that makes you happy, cuz honestly, that’s what sl is about right? Being happy?
Before I get started I want to go over some terms with you.

1. Prim or Primitives = each object in sl has a “prim” count. This is the amount of items it takes to make up the object. To find out how many prims an object has you click on the item and click the edit button. Once the pop-up window appears you will see at the top it says Primitives with a number next to it. That is your prim count.
2. Parcel = land
3. Sim = Simulator…this is like an island in sl.
4. Mainland = owned by Lindens
5. Tier = payment for owning land. This in the end goes to the Lindens for payment of using their servers.

Right, so, renting, find a nice house or condo or skybox. A good price for a skybox at about 150 prims is L$250 a week. Condos should give you about 250 prims at L$375 a week & houses go for about L$500-L$1000 a week for 300-900 prims. I can recommend a WONDERFUL sim that has these things all in a beautiful tropical setting. Just IM me in-world and I will send you a lm :D

NOW, for the renting of a parcel…This is pretty much like renting a building, but you get land and you can put up what you want within your prim count. The best price on a sim is L$1.8 per square meter. If you find that, it means you are pretty much getting your parcel for cost.

Buying land is a whole other ball of wax. I personally owned a few parcels before buying a whole sim. It really is like buying things in rl. You need to looks for what you want, and try to get the very best price you can for it. Again, L$1.8 per sqm is a good starting point. But expect to pay more. You also will have to pay tier each month on top of that to the sim owner or the Lindens depending on who you buy it from.

So now you should have a good base for renting or buying. One thing I would also recommend when looking, find sim owners who care, who have been on sl for a while, who hang out on their own sim and are there to help you. ALSO! Make sure the sim is full of people who you will get along with. You want your sl experience to be full of happy times, NOT fighting with neighbors.
So enjoy, happy shopping, and as always, IM me if you have any question :) Peace.

Fashion For January 2009

Hello all, so I am going to start out this year with a bang and get right to it. If any of you know Oona, you know she is a fashion crazy woman. Rich (Oona's bf) and DC (Oona's sl bro) make fun of her for her fetishes, hair & shoes are just a few lol. So I will give you a list of the hot items for this month.

I found that in sl, every month there is the MUST HAVES for men and women and furry alike. We all went through the boots craze of 2007 and the Neko phase of 2008 and the fluffy hair then the spiked hair...OMG so many things us vetrine's of sl have been through. Can make an avvy NUTS!! so I think between me and my gurl Fifi we can keep you dressed right and keep ya looking good at ALLLL times. We will tell you whats hot and where you can get it. There are so many cool things out there now, I hope I can keep you all updated.

So lets start this thing off right......

Lets talk scripts. As I have been shopping the last few weeks I have seen lots of cool scripts being put into shoes, belts and Jewelry. They let you resize your items and change the textures. THEY ARE AMAZING! So here are my personal faves to date.....

1) **BLITZED** Belts that resize with a touch of a menu & chat for different textures. (choose from 9 textures) This thing is AMAZING for only 200L. (BLITZED (86, 170, 68) This is their main store.

2) M.R.M *universe* Series Bracelet...These bracelets you touch to change the texture. You can choose from 6 textures all beautiful. The other great thing is you receive in your box three sizes to get the best fit possible. (Baines (32, 120, 21)

3) SOREAL Sneakers...when you click on them you choose your size and color you want. the ones I purchase has three different colors. But I do believe you can put some that have up to nine colors. Nice casual sneakers.

So there are a few for you to get started with. As I find more, I will pass them along to you.
