52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Ruby

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Ruby. Strangely the color ruby is not a red like the gemstone but it's more a pink. But this bloggers challenge has been a lot about interpretations and discoveries. So I decided to go for the stone color.

Also I discovered as I look each week for the exact color on wikipedia that for a same color name, if you change the language, you don't have the same color at all. Example with the English page for khaki that is a beige and the same name on the French page for kaki is a green. I discovered that after a fight with a friend who was telling me an item was kakhi and me I was saying not at all, and far from it. In the end we were both right in our own languages.

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:

Week 6 Yellow

Just got 4 days of planes cancelled RL and had to rebook 3 flights to make it back home. It was more or less due to the snow in Europe and the lack of ability of international airports to stock de-icing product. So, catching up and late with the 52 weeks bloggers challenge with this week: yellow.

I had to dig deep in my inventory before I found anything yellow but was lucky to find this adorable bikini from Fri.Day.

Hair: TRUTH Bonnie - crow

Now direction the beach to work on my tan with in my bag the bibles Vogue and Elle magazines

I lost a bet

Yesterday having another passionate debate with my SLwife about 4th July and how it invades SL, I made the bet that I would wear RL an american bikini if she knew when is my national day and for what it stands.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for me, my SLwife has a brain and culture so she knows my national is the 14th July. And she also knows we are quite humble about it even though it changed the face of the world ;)

As there is no way for me to find an american flag bikini IRL, here is a picture I made for her with all the 4th July free stuff I found today.

So happy Independance Day everybody who celebrates it!
