Hybrid Productions in SL

Hybrid Productions is a real life Swedish techno record label created by Cari Lekebusch (Mantis Oh in SL). They exist in SL since 4 years and have an amazing futuristic world. They do parties with RL DJs and also run a sim where you can find clothes, skins, fashion accessories, music accessories and buildings. And I'm sharing this with you because each time you see 2 dancers on this video, I'm the smaller one :)

Sweater dresses were the thing of this autumn winter 2010-2011 season in RL fashion. And I wanted to blog one for ages as many stores made cool ones. But my pixel heart started to beat faster when I spotted this loose sweater on the feeds. It's normally a male sweater but with a few clicks and resizer scripts, I turned it in a sweater dress. Oh and did I mention it's a free gift?

Top and flops of 2010

Bye bye 2010! Time for a year end review. I made a list of my tops and flops for 2010 in SL. Of course these are just my point of views. You will like some and dislike others, it's normal, we are all differents and learning to live with the other differences make us more rich inside.

Flops of 2010

1 LL viewer 2 = hahaha what a bad joke

2 display names = hahaha, no seriously LL no better things to do?

3 morphing RL/SL pictures = it was and still is freaky, especially used for store vendors

4 "I'm leaving SL forever" and back 2 weeks later

5 the closing sales and sales in general, good news the grid is on sale!

6 Thievery, scams and grieffers = unfortunately still too much

7 The templates = nice to learn to create but when I saw 4 stores with the same great sculptie coat, I was wondering who stole who?

8 The hunts = I used to love hunts but now too many of them, too badly organized, not fun anymore

9 Plurk = I tried a few months to find out it's the best place for people who have time to lose and who can't speak to people face to face.

10 Philip "Linden" Rosedale = he left us again :(

Top of 2010

1 The alpha layers = all good third party viewers have them, you should try.

2 The creations of SL residents = the quality gets more and more amazing

3 The bloggosphere = I became a part of it this year and met a lot of great people from there. I think it's what keeps SL alive and turning.

4 The art of ALTing = many designers decided to restart from scratch and used alter egos to redo a new business, I found the result really good. It takes some guts to reinvent yourself (I'm msyelf the alt of another designer *winks*)

5 The trolls = yes I put them in the tops of 2010 because they really made me laugh a lot. Some were so unreal, they made me believe in Santa Claus again ^^

6 The new SL marketplace = surprisingly good

7 The third party viewers = they have really clever options

8 The groups = some very cool ones where people help each other

9 LL Intellectual Proprety Team = finally created to slowly but surely fight thievery, it's never too late.

10 My 2 friends who met in SL 4 years ago and are getting married in real next February. They invited their SL friends to the wedding so we'll be a bunch to meet for the 1st time in real!

I am wearing for this last post of the year:

Meet Elektra the cat

You have certainly recognized this cat that belonged to Suri Christen. If you're a fan of fashion, you have noticed that she likes to come sit just when a picture is taken! Examples: here, here, here, and here too. But recently Suri adopted a new cat and total drama, the 2 couldn't get along at all. They were fighting more than 2 designers who used the same template to release clothes or more than 2 bloggers who blogged the same outfits... So I proposed Suri to adopt Elektra, who is already posing here with me.

Hair: TRUTH Cameron - night

Clearing my RL inventory

Today I'm happy because it's "clearing my RL inventory" day. In my city several times a year a truck passes by to pick up the clothes you don't wish to keep anymore. Those clothes are then resold for a few cents for people who can't afford to buy new stuff. Winter is coming so maybe you have charity associations around your place who do that too?

Still filling my SL inventory with nice things though:

Hair: Digital Eyes * Nina Ponytail Black

Skin: *(OO)*YUKI_Qua2 03 Group lucky board gift

Eyes: Ibanez ColorGlow Eyes - Celebros

Top: *LP* Rebekka bodysuit Store closed

Shoes: (Shiny Things) Zimmy Flats - faded denim group gift
