Did you notice that I hadn't blogged from the ninth until today? OBVIOUSLY, I had to redeem myself.


I had been working on these images before the "Dead End" pictures but put them on hold. I am a blogger for the One Voice event and that, to me, was more pressing than what I usually do. But I wanted to make shadows! I use Firestorm, and I'm guessing Kirsten's Viewer is the only one with shadows (?). So I had to make my own in Photoshop. They add so much to a photo.

I will probably blog a "One Voice" look again, but it'll be special for an undisclosed reason. :P

A demain...

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

I cannot say enough about the One Voice event.

First of all, Gala DESERVES this. And more importantly, the right to "create" freely sans harassment deserves this. I'm so very proud and ecstatic to have the opportunity to not only attend the One Voice event but to serve as a blogger. 

Secondly, and in line with the first point, I'm so glad that the SL community is behind Gala. It truly disgusts me when I think about what this woman is enduring and will be enduring until this issue is resolved, not to the mention the ridiculous amount of money it will cost to defend herself. And for what? Ugh. Damn jealousy, greed, and insecurity.

Third, there are SO many great designers and exclusive items at the event, all for sale to raise as much money as possible for Gala's court fees and other losses. 

If you do not attend, well... first of all, you suck. Secondly, you miss these designers (inhales sharply):

Gos, Belleza, Glam Affair, League,  Ingenue,  Aura, OneBadPixel, Exile, Luck inc,  North West, A.D.D. Andel, Pink Fuel, Laqroki,  Solange, N-Core, LouLou & Co, Body Doubles, IKON, Mon Cherie, This is a Fawn,  LW,  Bare Rose,  The Looking Glass, Balderdash - Bagatelle & Trinketry, Silent Sparrow, Schadenfreude, Wet Cat, Purple Moon, Indyra Originals, E! Apparel & Accessories, elymode, Al Vulo, Lust Shapes, Vanity Hair, Curious Kitties, Manna,  Lassitude & Ennui, RC Cluster, Ducknipple,  Sleeping Koala, Savior Faire/Aphrodisiac, *Anymore, DCD, BOOM,  Lisp Bazaar,  Flowey, La Petite Morte, Contraption, HOD, Divalicious, Ego Co, MINA Hair, RnB Furniture, Kinki Animations, Medley, Faerycat Designs, By Snow, Insatiable Fashions, Essences, ANNA Shapes, Delusions/Sweet Tart, Sakide, Nzuri, {me} Jewelry, Pulse Skins, CoLLisions, HANDverk, Chop Zuey, AlterEgo, SAX Shepard Designs,  Blacklace,  Bent, Amarelo Manga,  Laura Hurley Skins,  The Sea Hole, Toki-Doki, Mela's, La Galleria, Culprit,  Censored, Art Dummy, Zibska/Zibware, Razorblade Jacket,. Chandelle Designs, Ana-Mations, Prodigal, Wasabi Pills, Fri.Day, Holli Pocket,  Liquid Honey, Don't Freak Out, TuttiFruitti, Ever an Angel, cHelle, Shush, Adorkable,  Virtual Insanity, Avisage, Blah, A and S Visions,  Gorean Rose, Zwicked Textures, Candydoll, Burner Engine Works,  Adoration Home and Gardens, Wild Style Fashions, Ju, Addiction Jewelry, LionSkins, Fear Us, The Death, Doves and Crows, Patron/Wildchild & Muse, U-Poser, Little Tasta, Little Vulo Lula, AngelRED Couture, LoMos Designs, Fallen Gods, Inc

Y'know... no big deal. :P

Of course, there have been issues of lag and downright inability to TP into the sim. Duh! I usually wait a few days for big events like these or discount collections (ESPECIALLY C88), though I have to admit it kills me to do so.  But if you can't wait, try. And if that doesn't work, some stores have decided to place their donation items in their stores for sale! Use this page for real-time (aspiring to be, at least) information on those stores that will sell their items at their respective stores!

I have no idea why, but this song has been in my head this morning. It wasn't the reason I named this outfit and blog post after the song. After finishing composing the pictures, and I took one last gander at them before posting, they just felt like "11:00am."

Also, be thankful that the link I posted to the song does not feature the official video or even a live performance. Because then you would naturally have to gaze upon the lead singer's, Brandon Boyd, lean, Inferna-ready body and his handsome face. Then, I would have to maim you. 

:D

One Voice... Behind Gala Phoenix!


As you probably all know, Curio's Gala Phoenix is currently in the midst of legal issues which have resulted in her content being removed from the grid, pending the outcome of her legal battle. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) process in Second Life requires that when there is legal action taken against your content, Linden Lab will remove it from the grid until a ruling is made. Gala's fellow content creators have come together to host a fundraiser to help with the enormous amount of legal fees she will have to bare in order to fight these baseless claims.

The fundraiser will be held from July 9-15, with a blogger preview on July 8th.

Some participants include Flowey, BareRose, Black Lace, Belleza, Ingenue, Laq, Luck Inc, One Bad Pixel, Gos, Truth, Bent, Fawn, Cupcake, evolve, Glam Affair, ely, Lassitude & Ennui, Zanzibar, Adorkable, Ikon, League and many more.

This fundraiser is not only to help Gala Phoenix, but to also take a stand for the community of content creators, for many of whom SL is their main source of income. This could happen to any one of us, and it's necessary that we stand up and fight back to ensure that it doesn't.

Please contact Sophia Harlow or OMGWTF Barbecue if you'd like to participate as a content creator or blogger, and join the inworld group One Voice for updates and the LM when we open!

More info here: curioonline.org/2012/07/05/curio-news-release/

PLEASE REPOST THIS IMAGE AND MESSAGE! Thank you.

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

I feel so terrible for Gala, having to pay for the insecurity of another. Let's support her as much as possible!

I've got another Illusory skin! Illusory skins are, from what I have seen so far, are 1,000L each. For what you get in each pack, that's a pretty sweet deal. However, it's not so easy to come up with 1,000L every time a new Illusory skin is released. Now that Illusory and Aura are teaming up to offer their items to us lucky SL residents under ONE brand, there was (and still exists) an awesome sale at Illusory and Aura. Most things are 50%, including this skin. I got it for 500L! So can you! This is the Paige skin, and the Love skin (which I've blogged many times and which you can see up above, in my banner) is also on sale for 500L. The sale will last for an undetermined amount of time, but I wouldn't risk missing the sale, since that could mean the sale will end at any time. Look to the right to find the link to Illusory!

I should really start hunting like I used to. These are some of my favorite pumps, and I paid nothing for them. Hunts = win!
