Neurotic

Neurotic. If I had to use one word to describe myself, neurotic would be it. Since it was announced that Collabor88 would add a blogger to its blogger list, which was around the end of September, I have completed photos then dumped them. Completed then dumped. Completed then dumped. My laptop, of course, is not functional. My fiance let me use his laptop (which is actually an old laptop of mine). But the recommended graphic settings for that one were set at "medium," which was indicative of its crappy performance, for photos and otherwise.

Finally, I said, "You know what? You are NEVER going to get this done." I think anyone who creates anything is super critical of his or her own product, but it was getting to be a bit ridiculous. So. Here it is. I will also show you all the other ones I created for the contest.

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Love_Shindig in Cocoa ([Illusory]) - June 2012 C88 item!
HAIR: Girlfriend in a Coma in Snickers [of Chocolate Bars pack] (!lamb) - September 2011 C88 item!

SHORTS: Maddy Shorts in Sky (The Sea Hole) - August 2011 C88 item!
SHOES: Miraya Open-Toe Bootie (ISON) - August 2012 C88 item!

POSE: New Orthophony [of Pack Two] (pda) - December 2011 C88 item!

I'm standing at (or around) the Evolve mainstore!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some of the "entries" that didn't make the "Inferna Cut." (LOL).

Same outfit but I'm standing in the Stockholm Attic from Barnesworth Anubis, offered at the July 2012 round of Collabor88! I wanted the space to suggest more apparently that it was living space, so I added LISP suitcases and some effects from Thistle Homes' Love Letters Desk.

In these two photos, I'm still in the Stockholm Attic. And also in both, I'm wearing the Soft hairstyle from [elikatira] (from November 2011 C88) and the Sailor Shorts from -tres blah- (from February 2012 C88). In the first one, I have on The Sea Hole's Davenport Blouse (from October 2012 C88) and the Hampton Necklace from LaGyo (from July 2012 C88). Then, in the second one, I have on a blazer from House of Fox, socks from Kyoot, and I'm carrying Auxiliary's Tiny Tote (all from  September 2012 C88). Finally, I'm wearing a necklace from Maxi Gossamer (from August 2012 C88).

Obviously, I was BENT on staying in my dear Stockholm Attic. But once my fiance bought and installed a graphics card upgrade, I was really enjoying seeing shadows for the first time. It's amazing how much pop that little "lighting and shadows" option grants to a photo!

I also have two other photos, but I didn't edit one of them, and I mistakenly deleted the other from Blogger, so I would need to get back on fiance's computer to get it. I suppose they don't matter anyway; I'm only submitting the very first picture in this blog entry. I was just meaning to show you how indecisive and crazy I am. :P

Make sure to head on over to C88's Flickr Pool to check out other entries and more posts on C88 items! And you still have time to check out the October 2012 collection at C88 here.

Finally, I owe a big thanks to Amazon Silverweb and Harry Hyx (the former for relaying the message to the latter) for the corrected Miraya booties!

Now, it's EAT time. I'm off to ravage the refrigerator.

A demain...

B L E U is a new store, only about two months old. But, already, Jelani Tehani has created an impressive store inventory. For now, and perhaps for the duration of her ownership of B L E U, there is no inworld store. Thus, in the credits, I've provided a link to her MP store.

I didn't get to ask the owners of Lapin Rose (two sisters) whether or not LR was a new store, but I assume it is (or that it's back after being gone). At the store, there's a small but awesome selection of shoes, shirts and dresses.

I'm excited about both these presumably new stores! For being so young, they both display such promise and such "Inferna-must-have" potential! :P I cannot want to see what's in store.

These PiCHi shorts are still available in five colors at the mainstore. Each color is 125L.

Yours truly may be getting a new job, after over two months of being unemployed. I'm off to find out if the company with which I interviewed on Friday has made a decision today, as they said they would have a decision today. Wish me luck!

A demain...

Phoebe is back! If you'll remember, Phoebe was my first and only "staple" skin when I started this blog. She was the original subject of my obsessive love!

I decided to give another pair of nails a try. Thus, I'm wearing Izzie's Classic Nails! The pack comes with 13 (that's right - THIRTEEN) gloves of 13 different skin tones, which are all modifiable. I'm wearing the ebony glove and modified it so that it matched Phoebe. It doesn't stop there; the pack comes with a HUD that allows for 39 nail color changes for your size 10, 15, or 20 hands!

I purchased these earrings a while ago from the Marketplace. Today, I'm not able to find them on the MP, although there is an inworld store (not listed on the MP but located through my profile stalkery skill: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nautilus%20-%20Hanno/206/16/23). If you click on either earring, you'll get a menu offering 12 gem color changes and 6 metal color changes. I can't remember what I paid for these, but I don't think they were more than 200L. I'd prefer bigger studs because these are hard to see unless you're zoomed in pretty close, and color changes are not so easily seen because of the small size. However, I suppose, they fit well for the look I had in mind. I love studs, and I think there should be more of them in SL! What say you?

EDIT: Thank hell for Blogger's autosave feature! This laptop has a battery/charger problem. If the charger is disconnected, the laptop is shut down immediately. I happened to move my leg the wrong way. Sigh...

Anyway, wonder1and+kush is a new brand! I can't wait to see more. There's no mainstore (or any store) for the shop yet, but the notecard that comes with this top promises one in the near future!

A demain...

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Love_Cocoa in Shindig ([Illusory] - Available at Collabor88 now!

EYES: Enchanting Eyes in Dark Brown (Nana)

HAIR: Sonya in Treacle [of Dark Browns pack] (Truth)

NAILS: Drop Dead Red Manicure (*Sexy Mamas*)
TEETH: Teeth Set, #4 (Izzie's)

TOP: Miette Corset in 2 vs (versions) w/ pasties (ZIBWARE)
BOTTOMS: Skirt Ebby in Indigo (Emery)

BRACELET: Ahki (::Amorous::)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So THIS version of the Love skin is available at the Collabor88 event for only 88L. The pack contains two skins (light brows and dark brows) and four eyebrow shapers. That's a pretty sweet deal for 88L. Interestingly - and I love this - a similar pack is available at TDR Blue's latest collection. I'm wearing Shindig here, from Collabor88, and the pack available at TDR Blue is called "Electric." Same thing - two skins and four eyebrow shapers. Of course, my skin whoredom necessitated that I buy both "extension packs" of the Love skin. And who am I to fight with the inner skinwhore?

I know that, lately, I have tended to bombard this blog with outfit upon outfit. I can only blame it on being born this way. (I'm on the right track... ) I started drawing fashion "plates" when I was about 14 and, by that age, had wanted to model for years. I've over 100 fashion drawings. Perhaps one of these days, I'll learn how to create stuff in SL and see those drawings become [Second] life!
