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

I had to make another look for this skin. The third picture - the closeup - really shows why you'll have to get this skin when it debuts. It's simply beautiful.

Usually, items that were part of a past event ("previous FLF item") are still available for sale. However, creators often make special items for hunts. That doesn't mean that a previous hunt item is not currently available for sale; it just means there is a chance that this is the case. Please do check the creator's stores, MP pages (if available), or just ask the creator!

Speaking of "asking the creator," and I have probably said this before, do NOT be afraid to ask questions! I used to be this way. I felt that, as a customer, relying on the talent of the creator and needing something, I was probably a bother. But I have been so fortunate as to have mostly pleasant and fruitful exchanges with SL creators. I can say, with conviction, that most designers in SL are very friendly and interested in what you have to say. Out of all the interactions I have had with designers, and believe me, there have been a LOT of them, only perhaps two of those were bad ones. And one of those was just because the designer ignored me, meaning the wrong act was more an act of omission rather than commission. And the second one? I requested a refund, and after an argument (exchange of differing accounts, not a yelling match), I was refunded 67% of the linden I spent.

I'd like to thank the following people. They have been more than patient, gracious, and downright sweet:

Matchbook Monday (of Amorous)

Izzie Button (of Izzie's)

Inka Mexicola (of Essences)

Evangeline Miles (of Evie's Closet)

Drinkinstein Sorbet (of The Sea Hole)

Bubbles Clawtooth (of Clawtooth)

Ele Brandi (of Modish)

Jasmine Lisle (of JAStore)

Aimee Novo (of EiDOLAN Skins)

SOPHA Portal (of MYUGLYDOROTHY)

Maya Toki-Doki (of TokiDoki)

Bee Dumpling (of The White Armory)

Truth Hawks (of Truth)

Vivienne Daguerre (of Black Rose)

Karla Marama (of Pr!tty)

I have a feeling that these are only a few of the people I should be thanking. But some people helped me probably a year ago, and I'm just a 1.5 years old! Vivienne, for example, helped me to find a legitimate SL hennin, since you couldn't find one of those ANYWHERE. Well, you couldn't find a good one. That was probably three months or so into my SL experience. 

For each of these designers, I simply reached out. They are great, sweet people! If you have a question or concern, don't be afraid to ask! The outcome may be more positive than you could have ever imagined. SO DO IT!

/me breathes in deeply and sharply. I'm doomed to forget SOMETHING; there's just so much!

Well...  to celebrate her Facebook page reaching 1,000 likes, Gogo (of Juicy Bomb) shared five of her studio windlight settings with her readers! I'm using one of those that I edited just a tiny bit. It didn't need editing, but I like messing around with stuff. THANK YOU, GOGO! I am very thankful for those because I SUCK at making my own windlight settings.

I usually don't mention my shape in my credits. That's because, unlike skins, for example, the shape I have used in almost all of my entries for the past three months is modifiable. Because it's modifiable, I'd hate to say "This is this shape" and have readers think their face and body shape will resemble mine in any way. It's mod, and because I like to make stuff my own, I've messed around with my staple shape. That shape is Izzie's Cassandra shape, which is including in each Cassandra skin tone pack. Izzie always includes a shape in her skin packs, AND those shapes are always modifiable. This time, however, I'm using another shape called Dublin from Shakeup! While Carrie finds another mainstore location for Shakeup!, her shapes and other products are on sale! This shape, and the others, are on sale for only 100L! I provided the link above; use it frequently! Well, I didn't use it freely because I bought three at the same time! For only 100L each, you can buy several of her awesome shapes. 

Now, hair. This [men's] hair is from the Haaaiiir Faaaiiiir 2012! I just had to provide a shot of the hair from the side, so you could see the awesomeness of the hair AND the hairbase. This is now one of my favorite pixie cuts, along with Exile's Nina and Burley's Ethan. This is what I used to get around the HF2012; it really made things much easier.

Finally, I think, is the ring. You can get the ring and earrings in a single set at the current TDR Blue collection. You'd have to go to the Kunglers Extra store to complete the set with the matching necklace; it's 70L just as the set is at TDR Blue. So what are you waiting for? GET!

If I've forgotten something, I will update the entry tomorrow. I'll also add the pictures to my Flickr page and update some SLurls!

A demain...

Live Free

It's time (again) to see one of my favorite hairs from HF2012! It's "Live Free" by Pr!tty.

So... isn't it downright fabulous? The texture, the shape, the mood... It's just awesome. It's Pr1tty's offering at Hair Fair 2012 (Flower Sim), and it's called "Live Free."

There's no official look this time, but the dress I'm wearing is "Kendall Leoness" by Peqe. The skin is Estella in Cocoa from Izzie's. 

A demain...
