Longing For Spring

After the endless work for Fashion For Life, I'm here again to catch up with the great fashion events of this crazy world!

I totally fell in love with a cute outfit by Mimikri, offered at 70L only at The Dressing Room Blue. I matched it with one of the most recent Al Vulo! faces, Leilani, and with the beautiful bandana MESH hairstyle, Lola from Wasabi Pills. Have a look!

Skin: Al Vulo! - Leilani (milk) - 800L 
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Lola MESH hair - 250L 
Outfit: Mimikri @ TDR Blue - Tahnee Khaki  - 70L 

Al Vulo Leilani - Wasabi Pills - Mimikri TDR

Here's a chart of the six Leilani's main make ups, but there are many more coming on tattoo layer, as well as eyebrows and freckles options. The skin is shown in the milk tone, cacoa and sunkissed available too. Don't miss the group gift, a special Leilani make up in the sunkissed shade.

Al Vulo! is taking part to the Whore Fair, running from  March the 1st to March the 31th, with Alena skin. It comes in 3 make ups for the good girls and 3 for the bad girls, each with several options (cleavage, teeth and such) and in 3 tones.
I am showing the Porcelain shade, others are Cacoa and Sunkissed. Good Girl on the first row, Bad Girl on the second row.
Pictures are not postprocessed and were shot using the windlight sky "Nam's Optimal Skin 2".

The amazing lashes I'm wearing are the MESH Catwalk lashes recently released at Miamai. They are really beautiful, fit is very very easy, and once you reach it they look good from all sides!

[Mesh] PETITE Angelwing Fall Fairy

I officially fell in love with the PETITE's world, so I'm showing them again today, and sharing some useful info and tips if you ever wanted to join this magic world.

PETITE Angelwing

Angelwing adapted some of her beautiful fairy outfits to the PETITE avatar by Yabusaka. Here I'm showing you my favourite, Fall Fairy, that you can purchase only at the PETITE Headquarter at Yabusaka.
After checking the pics, you may want to have a look to a list of PETITES Resources, a collection of stores where you can find items that can be resized to fit the tiny avatars, put together by the lovely Dojiba Sabra. Contact her if you're interested in the PETITES world and to get the new lists as soon as she finds out new stores!

Last but not least, a pic to show you the size of a PETITE avatar.

PETITES Resource List by Dojiba Sabra

********
Please be sure to join the Petites group for all the latest news!  Group joiners are at Fallen Gods and Yabusaka (look for the glowing orb in the Petites area, or do a group search for petites.
********

TIPS FOR YOUR AVATAR:
Are your feet or hands a different color from the rest of your body?   First make sure they are from the same tone as your skin.  Put on the skin tinting hud that came with your Petite and choose the white box at the top, just under the word Presets and that should make them match.

If you can't see your body after putting on the demo or avatar, make sure you have Hardware Skinning turned on in your Graphics tab.  If you still can't see it, make sure you are wearing the item called Body. You will have choices such as natural, cherry, marks, corruption.

When you wear a petite mer tail or some of the boots available, you don't need to wear your feet.  :-)

We're finding that some ground sits will put you under the ground.  Try adjusting your offset to raise your avatar.

THE OFFICIAL GATHERING FOR PETITES

You'll find the Petites avatars here, including demos, school uniforms, a mesh clothing layer template, clothing, weapons and more being added every day.  Rezzing is allowed, so you can open boxes and rezz a pose stand for fitting and shrinking.  Please clean up after yourself before you leave.  :-)

AVATAR

The Petites mesh avatar and demos are available at Fallen Gods, also mesh hair from Wasabi Pills, a mesh fairy dress by G Field, floral vine outfits by Frippery and more.

WINGS

Seven's Selections has a vast assortment of wings which will resize down to fit a Petite.  A hud controls speed, size, etc.  They are also mod,  so you can tint the white ones or drop a particle script into a pair.
Material Squirrel wings will resize with the hud and are Xcite compatible. EDIT: I got this kind message from Kala Bijoux, owner of Material Squirrel: "Thank you for mentioning Material Squirrel Wings as a resource. All of our wings have scripted resize via the HUD - but if they don't go small enough, IM Kala Bijoux and she can get you a pair that does. All Material Squirrel wings are mod as well - the scripts inside are not mod so they show in inventory as no mod but once rezzed or worn, the object will be mod."

HAIR

Wasabi Pills has hair with resize scripts that will shrink down to fit.  Be sure to try the demo first, as not all of them shrink enough.
Jolie Femme has hair with a resizer script.  Look for the "Touch to Fit" logo on the vendors.
Battle Angel has some resize-scripted hair that will fit.  I haven't tried the ones that aren't scripted, so I don't know if they will shrink down enough in edit mode.
CaTwA hair hair will resize with the built in scripts.
fri.day hair should shrink down just with editing tools.
Truth hair will shrink down if you add a resize script to it.  Even the already scripted texture-change hair will work, as long as it's mod.  You may fight with the popups a bit to get the menu you want, but it can be done.

CLOTHES AND COSTUMES

The Looking Glass has clothing for Petites (and a very nice fae area close by).
Pacific Sunrise has mertails and mermaid jewelry for Petites.  Look for the Petite Minnows vendor at the entrance
Isanna Delvalle has opened a clothing store in the marketplace.
Sinful Needs has demon/demoness outfits, horns and tails that will resize with the A4 Hud.
KaiAna has a variety of clothing, from silks to skating outfits (with little skates!), medieval dresses, gypsy outfits, jeans and tops and more.  Take the teleporter to the Petite Hideaway.
Lillia Coveria has some Petite items in her Marketplace store and her inworld store, with more to come soon.
Les Petites Nymphes has two fairy outfits for sale, which includes bracelets, ring, head wreath, wings, etc.  More in the works!

NEKO

Lemon Tea, animated tails to fit Petites.

EYES
Ibanez prim eyes will resize nicely, no script needed.  The size I made mine is X 0.0151, Y 0.0193, Z 0.0168.  That's a good place to start and then you can tweak the size however you wish.

EYELASHES

Redgrave lashes will fit if you add a resize script, shrink down and then fit as you normally do.

AOs

Creative Insanity has Fairy, Fae, Pixie, Forest Nymph, demon/demoness and mermaid AOs.
Oracul Flying Pixie AO.
Kami-Hitoe Fairy and mermaid  AOs.

ACCESSORIES

ZMD has a cute Petite-sized lilypad with sits for 3 merfolk.  Look for Zohee's Mermaid Designs in the NE corner of the mall.
je suis... jewelry can be resized to fit your Petite.
Rainey Fae has Petite-sized earrings and circlets- no resizing necessary! Find them on the second floor.

In her notecard, Dojiba also includes a tiny camera hud to give you a proper view according to your size, and a resize script. Another resize script that works even better is here on the marketplace, free.
If you have any addition to this list, feel free to contact Dojiba inworld!

I'm also featuring recent releases from Wasabi Pills, the lovely mesh braids Kamiko, and from je suis..., the amazing je suis... voyante necklace and ring, in the gemstone version.

(Mesh part II) PETITE Elves and Dracos - Fallen Gods Inc

As I promised, here's another post about uses of mesh.

Not only clothes, shoes and accessories can be mesh. A whole avatar can be mesh.

This is the case of the PETITE series from Yabusaka and Fallen Gods Inc.

Fallen Gods Inc - Petite Elf

As the name suggests, they are tiny mesh avatars. In each pack you will find a skin, a shape, eyes, hands in 3 options, feet and huds that allow you to change the skin color and the facial expressions, as well as an alpha layer to make your regular avi invisible.
3 clothing options are included in the pack, while the hairstyle is specifically made for the PETITE serie by Wasabi Pills. Other designers, like Pink Fuel, G Field and more, are releasing or are about to release PETITE items, so stay tuned and don't miss this amazing cuteness!

Please note: on Firestorm, I need to relog before seeing the avatar correctly once worn, and same for when I go back to my regular avi. It may be my problem but I thought it was worth mentioning it.

Mesh (part I) + News and Sales

So, my poor desktop is still waiting to see a doctor. In the meanwhile I'm trying to survive on SL with my laptop, which is not the best thing ever, and I'm always late. That being said, let's see what I have for you today.

Mesh landed on Second Life some months ago and getting used to it took me a bit. I actually still have some problems that I will explain you in this post, but I also greatly appreciate all the good features that are now added to our virtual selves. 

Mesh & Sales I

Mesh & Sales IV


In this outfit, hair, pants and shoes are mesh.
The hairstyle is Cherilyn from Wasabi Pills, a mesh hair forerunner since the first day.
Pants, Rabea, are a new release from Jada Humby Couture, which has recently put out a whole mesh collection that you should really check out. 
Shoes are from NX-Nardcotix, Zoe, that I have already worn in the past and are still one of my favourite mesh shoes. 

Please note that I'm not an expert, everything I write is related to my personal experience only. 

The main issue I personally have with mesh is related to proportions: although the biggest part of the designers offers several sizes of their mesh products, I apparently have many troubles in finding the good one. 
It doesn't obviously depend on the designers, that are all working really hard to master and spread the new tool, but on the big variety of our shapes and on the limits rigged mesh has at the moment on the grid. I am investigating about the matter, I'll let you know. 

Winter is a quite slim avi, not thin as some models or kawaii japanese-style little girls, but I would consider her rather small. "S" and "M" sizes technically fit her, but they completely kills her hips (which are not huge but still someway round), giving her a weird and twisted shape. "L" and curvy sizes are way too big, out of proportion with the rest of her body.  
I am not the kind who is not willing to tweak with her shape a bit to fit clothes, but not at the point of deforming her or totally changing her appearence.

For the records, a group of mesh forerunning designers (SLink, Lelutka, Celoe, Mon Tissu) provided a Standard Sizing Package, on which for instance Jada Humby's mesh clothes are shaped. I didn't get a chance to give it a try myself, so I am sharing the news for the sake of honesty, I will let you know as soon as I manage to examine the thing. 

With hair, it's someway easier: I usually manage to wear mesh hairstyles with minor changes to my head size. However, sometimes it's still not possible: I obviously cannot successfully change my hair size from 20 to 70 in order to wear a mesh hairstyle. 

So, thing is, ALWAYS try a demo before buying mesh items. Take your time to experiment and check: it's way better than being mad later for having wasted your money. 

Now let's go to the good sides: mesh items move together with your shape, giving you a way more natural look than prims or sculpties, where your gestures and poses are limited if you don't want to have stuff coming out of your body or liying in awkward positions. Pictures like those below would have required adjusting prims inworld, and then re-adjusting after the shoot, or a lot of Photoshop work to rebuild the parts my body would have eaten. With mesh, this problem doesn't exist anymore: hair and all mesh parts follow your movement.

Mesh & Sales II

Mesh & Sales III

A post about other uses of mesh is coming soon. Stay tuned! 

Last but not least, some sales and something new.
The top I'm wearing is from So Many Styles, which was having a 50% off sale on selected items. I'm afraid it's over, but a visit to Irie Campese's great store is always worth. 
The necklace is from LaGyo, which is celebrating its anniversary with a 50% off sale, till January the 27th. 
The amazing prop I used for this pic is PolyWall v.2012 from Diesel Works. It comes with 26 poses and 16 background texturess and the menu allows you to adjust the poses till the perfect fit.

[Event] Dark Magic Winter - Severed Garden

RL is heavy these days, so blogging gets slow. However, I managed to pay a quick visit to Dark Magic Winter, the event run by ZombiePopcorn from December the 1st to December the 15th. The place is simply amazing, actually conveying the magic and fantasy mood, it's worth a visit just for itself, and the participating stores are the cream of the crop, each with a special release for the event and some of their best selling products.

I'm wearing the beautiful outfit from Severed Garden, Cloe, which is available only at Dark Magic Winter, together with Orion hair (MESH!) from Wasabi Pills, that you can purchase at the event as well, although it's not their special release (absolutely worth too but I couldn't find the time to take another pic for this post).

Hair Fair, New Stuff, Deals and Freebies, Viewer Talks and Random Nonsenses

My experiments and I are back! I gathered so much stuff in the past days that I will never be able to blog everything...events, new releases, special deals, gifts, things on Second Life run too fast! It took me a week to put together all this, so *Imperio* read! 

New releases a cute ensemble from The Sea Hole and exclusive releases at Hair Fair 2011 from AOHARU and Wasabi Pills (remember that when you buy something at Hair Fair, part of the proceeds goes to the charity organization Wigs For Kids) Also, an amazing retro pair of shoes from Donna Flora, that is not new but I totally love it, and a free outfit from The Sea Hole

Top & Skirt: The Sea HoleAnnis Top, (barley Sheer) mauve & Smocked Skirt - Coral - they are sold separatedly, they're available as an ensemble in the same color or you can mix and match among the offered colors as I did. The top comes in 2 versions, barely transparent and very transparent, and the skirt comes upper lace and lower lace versions. 103L + 117L.
Hair: AOHARU @ Hair Fair - Megan (espresso) - 220L (50% donation) 
Shoes: Donna Flora - Ilde Shoes (rose) - 350L

The Sea Hole - Aoharu HF

Since I logged in on Firestorm to try the new copy-to-clipboard-worn-stuff feature, at this point I decided to try shadows again. They are still unsupported, as the viewer itself warns us when enabling them, but I'm stubborn...and I managed to take this close up to show you better the lovely hairstyle...

Aoharu HF

...but then I dared too much...I knew it was better not to move my camera with shadows enabled, but I did it anyway. I took the pic, hit on save...and crashed! I was lucky enough to get this closeup on the shoes. The windlight setting I had on for the headshot messes up a bit the skin matching but I swear it was very good!! I worked a lot on that and I was very pround, but I didn't feel brave enough to try again... So I disabled shadows and relogged to take the rest of the pics!

Ilde - Donna Flora


Outfit: The Sea Hole - WeedTastic Freebie Outfit - free on the marketplace, belt and bag included. 
Hair: Wasabi Pills @ Hair FairMochi Hair - Chocolate - 250L (not specified amount % donation)
Sandals: KIWI - Zimra Flat Sandal Black - 60L. This sculpt has been around for a while and since I'm a fan of the flat sandals, a bit neglected in favor of heels, I tried some of them even though I'm not crazy for the sculpt itself. This is the best achievement I have seen so far, it comes with a hud for skin, nails and toe ring (quite easy to use) and it's part of the Sixty Lindens Weekend. 


The Sea Hole Free Outfit
