Headphones in clubs

I have this weird habit to wear headphones in RL clubs. Not because I'm a DJ but because I listen to music on my way to meet my friends. And once we meet in the club they often ask me: you were afraid the music wouldn't be good? :)

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Red

Red I love to wear in both worlds. Since black is my 1st favorite color, the mix of both is very 80's and actually works really well. So for this week's bloggers color challenge, I picked up a high fashion dress that was a previous gift from Lelutka.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Black

Black is the new black! This week is the week I was hoping for when I started the 52 weeks of color challenge. Black is my favorite color so today exceptionally, as I couldn't chose just one style, 2 pictures with some of my favorite things:

The only difference between RL and SL for me is that in RL I wear black, black, black or black and black too. I love to mix materials, cuts, shapes and accessories.

My 1st drama

Ah my 1st bloggers drama... The 5th January I made a special post. I used things we all have but I styled it in a very special unique way. My style was: a sweater we all have, a geisha type skin we all have and some hair with a hat we all have. Click here to see the post I mention. But no one had the idea to put them together.

10 hours later in the feed... I see a blog with the same sweater, the same type of skin and hair with a little hat. So yes we all have those items but what's the point in copying the exact same style of another blog? Don't we have thousands of items in our inventories to make it unique styles?

If you read the subtitle of my blog it's "SL vintage, new designs and freebies you certainly already have in your inventories". See I don't even pretend to be the 1st to blog them, far from it. I even have 2 links sections of my favorite blogs to show where I find my clothes.

I guess you know you made it as blogger when this kind of thing happen. So yay for my 1st copycat! And here is a cool outfit you can take inspiration from if you want:

Skin we all have: [LeLutka]-LOLA-MFW2010 (free)

Shoes we all have: (Shiny Things) Delphine pumps - gold (SoM gift)

Mask must have: *~*Illusions*~* Welcome Items *~*Imp Mask: Fit for Women 10L

Board you should all have: FF No Clothes Sandwich Board (free on marketplace)

Pose you should all have too: HelaMiyo :: gown 5

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.

Taxiii!!

Taxiii! To the airport now please!

I just had a weird blogger's experience: a designer told me: you must pay attention because this item is not sold inworld anymore. This is why I always precise it's a previous gift or if the store is gone. But is it because an item is not sold anymore that we should not blog it? We have amazing treasures in our inventories and from a day to another, stores are just gone. And my blog is about showing you how I would style new and old things.

Perfect example with this top here: the store is gone, but if you're a good freebie hunter, it's a top you should already have. This is why I copy paste the exact names of the items. So you can search and find them easily. So I hope I won't upset anyone else for showing beautiful past creations again. In real life we call this vintage fashion and in SL vintage can be 2 weeks old sometimes :)

Holiday

Today a very RL look as I go on holiday and this is what I would and will wear to leave: black skinny jeans, black top and black designer mask glasses. The only difference will be the shoes as I won't wear heels to take the plane. The only people who would enjoy them are the custom officers who ask me to remove them as I go under the metal detector... And not sure they appreciate nice shoes anyway.
