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!

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...

Yes! The VF2012 is now open! And I now show you two of my favorite glittery / sequined dresses!

A word about Indy: As you know, Indy is not exclusive to the Vintage Fair. It was released recently, so you can also find this skin at Inka's mainstore at the Red Wing sim. The dark tone is one that is not currently for sale. When I asked Inka if she would ever consider darker tones, she replied almost immediately with this dark tone. So she was already working on a dark tone and let me test this out. Her dark tone for Indy is a bit darker than my Indy in dark; it's called "Black." I love Dark, and I love Black, but Dark is my tone of choice for Indy!

I should mention that the CIA dress only came with an alpha for the lower body portion. Thus, when I posed, skin on Inferna's torso showed through! Thus, I used an alpha from another long dress - 22679's Anastasia dress - so that I could pose freely. I'm not sure if my object failed to copy fully to my inventory, or if the alpha just wasn't full enough for the dress. Just be sure to check that out before purchasing if you can't easily replace the alpha with a fuller one.

I think that's about it. You've got shopping to do! Each "VF2012" above takes you to the direct booth of that particular designer. But please use this page for a map and SLurls to all the VF stores! Well, all is there, from what I can tell, except GOTZSCHE; I asked for this SLurl from the designer because I didn't see it on the SLurl list. But you've got it up above!

I hope you'll enjoy the Fair!

A demain...

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

You've seen my previous posts, yeah? You must know, then, how absolutely IN LOVE I am with this skin.

I stood in front of the vendor art for this skin, debating dropping 1K for it. I said, "No" then "Yes" at least five times each, but in the end, the skin overtook me, I tell you! 

It comes with two versions of 15 lipsticks, with teeth and without teeth.  These 15 lipsticks are, in turn, divided into five folders. Of course, the whole set is boxed inside of the skin's folder. It's a whole lotta unpacking, but do you SEE the skin? It's well worth the dragging-and-dropping.

I absolutely didn't mean for Inferna's eyes to be closed in one of these shots, but I actually like the way it turned out. Do you?

I bought three other skins with which I am also infatuated. And I've asked two designers - League and The Skinnery - if they'd be so kind as to create the Jen and Sabal skins, respectively, in darker tones. I'd love to have them, but they are a bit light for my tastes.

Also, I'm not sure about Plausible Body. I got these shoes (for really cheap) when I first joined SL, so I'm not even sure if they are still around. I'll check now, actually, to sate my own curiosity. 

A demain!
