My Ex-Boyfriend Tried To Tell Me He Owns SL...As If.

I just broke up.  My ex-boyfriend tried to tell me he owns SL.  What a liar.  Talk about delusions of grandeur.

Ok just a bit of fun. I found this sim yesterday called ReMix Yo Life and I just fell in love with it. So much to explore and I couldn't wait to take some pics. I found the ghost of Philip Rosedale (aka Philip Linden) there and set up this little scenario. SORRY SORRY Philip. I unfortunately spelled your name wrong and was too lazy to go back and rectify it. I corrected myself with a scotch and coke.

While this isn't a fashion post exactly, I was in the mood for some fantasy fashion and as I usually do, turned to Yip and her incredible designs for some feather love. I am thrilled with the results as in RL, I could stare are a peacock feather for hours and marvel at how nature got it so right.

I also wanted to capture the beauty of the surroundings rather than focus on the model to give you a window into this beautiful place.

Without a word of a lie, just walking around ReMix gave me a calm feeling.

I do hope I'm not the only person who can immerse themselves in a beautiful sim and it actually affect my mood in RL. Is that weird?

If anyone knows of any amazing sim's to photograph apart from those we probably all know and love, can you send me the LM in world? I'd love that. Likewise, if you are new to SL and would like a list of some great photography sim's I've put together, let me know and I'll send you my copy. It's a work in progress of course and some LM's may no longer be in use but its a start.

Yip, Yip, Hooray - I Just Got Myself A Segway

Funny how one thing leads to another and before you know it, you stumble across something you may never have seen before. This happens to me all the time in SL. I go off looking for one thing and end up somewhere I never knew existed or somewhere I hadn't intended to visit.

If I retrace my steps, I started off looking at !lamb where I saw a cigarette in an ashtray as a prop. Remembering that I'd been looking for one of these I inspected and headed off to a place called Shinsaibashi. The item wasn't for sale in the shop so wandered around the sim and found his awesome Segway from a place called Wing Factory. Now I'd seen these Segway's in Abu Dhabi at the hotel where we stayed. Staff were zipping round on them and I would have given my Louis Vuitton Speedy for a ride. No, actually I wouldn't.  Anyhow here's the next best thing...a SL Segway. I swear it's the best 50L's I've ever, ever spent.  Now I don't know why but when I speed around on it, I think I must be going too fast even for lag to catch me...it's magic.

The Segway has a color change script and also height/position adjustment scripts. You wear it on your left hand and because Cha is so tall, I did need to fiddle a bit to raise the bar. It also has a fly mode for those times where you need a lift. Just brilliant. The fact that it changes color to match my outfits totally won me over.

To celebrate the occasion of my test drive, I thought 'Who can I wear?' There was no choice, it had to be Yip. four Yip, the altruistic creator/designer of some of the most inspired, amazing pieces I've seen in SL has given me so much joy over the years. I wanted fantasy, feminine and fun so thew on Yip's anouska outfit.

I found this amazing sim called Minute Papillon at Belle Vent to take these pics. Played around WL and I must say, I'm loving this series.

We have some talented blogger's who do this ultra-feminine, whimsical style so very well and I'm very much drawn to it especially when I'm feeling mellow.  Thank you to the designers who made up this, one of my favorite looks.
