Hays Uriza is back!

Hays Uriza is back with a fantastic new release! I've always been a huge fan of her sculpted shoes & textures. The newly released Sayuri pumps are gorgeous and scripted to change the ribbon texture and gold, silver or original heel texture. You need a fatpack of these, it's impossible to pick just a few colors they're all YUM.

[ Hays Uriza - Sayuri Pumps ]

Tp to Hay Uriza's new main store!

Bijou has just released this Survive corset & shorts outfit, and it's sexier than ever. I probably own half of Bijou because I just love the layering options and how different the outfits are from other brands in SL. This Survive outfit can be worn with a green top undereneath or as a standalone corset top, revealing a lot of cleavage!

Tp to Bijou @ Bijouaholic!

What I'm Wearing:

LeLutka - LondonRevolutionPale-makeup4
Exile - Dominique (Harlow) hair
Bijou - Survive [Mintgreen]
Hays Uriza - Printemps Teardrop Earrings (unreleased)
Hays Uriza - Pearl Night 3 reams Silver necklace (unreleased)

Mish Mish

Have you been to Mish Mish? They sell these adorable Lil Veggie family shoulder pets, each is controlled by a HUD (seen above). The owner can wear the pet along with the HUD and choose different animations such as kiss, wave, jump, and sleep.

If you're in the mood to garden, the Mish Mish Vegetable Patch can grow tomatoes, carrots, radishes, and sprouts, all selectable via a menu. There are cute garden acessories sold at the shop as well, so you can decorate your garden area with seed packets, a watering can, and a mini shovel.

TP to Mish Mish, there are lots of cute and giftable items.

Happy Tantrum

This post is for Ann Launay, who said she couldn't locate this awesome Candy Necklace from Happy Tantrum. When Davo tp'd me there and said I *must* have it, I looked at him skeptically since the shop sold mainly Gorean things. But on a wall full of Gorean weapons and things, there was the Candy Necklace, for just $20L! Click here to TP straight to the necklace.

While I was there, I couldn't help but notice the creator, Happy Kuhn (omg I love her name! in my mind, it's pronounced very dirty.. like.. Happy Cu...n.., if you know what I mean) had these gorgeous revealing "gorean" flower outfit thingies, see below:

I'm wearing the Lily in Tropical Blends and Pleasures Gardens in Black outfit, both come with everything shown here and more. The PGiB outfit has a sakpak and water jug included!

P.S. I haven't gone Gorean but I do love flower things!

Say it ain't so!!!

Australian network filtering promises to reach out to block games, online games and more (Massively)out to block games, online games and more (Massively)

Confirmed: Second Life, online adult games to be banned outright in Australia

Web filters to censor video games

Internet filter: $44.5m and no goal in sight

These articles are being passed around amongst people on my Plurk timeline, and even though I'm not an Aussie I'm still shocked. I hope this is isn't true! It's alarming, it's strange. Censoring SL is like censoring the internet. Let people decide for themselves?

Momo has just released these great new DewDrop tutu-ish outfits in a bunch of colors and they include a 2 options and comes in all layers. You can wear it as a suit or as a cute belly-baring top perfect for tattoos or belly rings!

I did web stuffs last night!

Avanista.com got a face lift last night because I was bored! Hopefully you guys like this sleek new layout more since it focuses on the entries and not the giant rainbow banner like before.

I've often wondered who reads my blog since about 1% of the people ever leave a comment. Who are youuuuuu? My biggest day this week was Tuesday, with 1476 page views! According to my average views that's around 34,000 views month!

iheartsl.com does really well with 60,000+ views month, and that number has grown steadily since the beginning of the blog.

I know these are relatively modest numbers compared to other blogs out there, but I'm happy with them! :)

Hair Fair 09: Head Mistress

Head Mistress released five adorable styles at Hair Fair!! They are Carlita, Beautiful Disaster, April,  Cyndi, and Alica. Kimmie Mosten definitely has gotten better at making sculpted hair, from when I was first introduced to her shop a couple of months ago. I like the two long wavy hairstyles because the prims do not sink into the shoulder, perfect for taking sexay photos!

Tp to Head Mistress @ Hair Fair

Exile Giselle hair

Exile has just released the Giselle hair and it is adorable!! Giselle has a braided hairband and a side ponytail with a couple of smaller braids mixed in there. I have added a couverture mignonnette hair flower on the side, but any hair flower will do. If you love this hair, visit Exile! :)

Laqroki Claudia Skins

I couldn't resist these smoking hot new Claudia skins from Laqroki! These skins have such a beautiful face, I'll go Brunette for awhile to wear it. Each makeup includes a regular skin and one with a bald base. The Claudia fatpacks includes 8 makeups and is only $1,990L, what an amazing deal.

How to Enable Shadows on the SL 1.23 Release Client

(pic provided by Jenny since I don't have nVidia 8)

The awesome Jenny Thielt wrote instructions on how to enable dynamic shadows on the Second Life 1.23 Release Viewer (re-posted here with permission):

Enabling Dynamic Shadows on the 1.23 Release Viewer and any viewer based on the 1.23 version.

Make sure you have a DirectX 10 compatible card (eg. nVidia 8 series or newer)

1. Make sure Atmospheric Shaders is on (windlight pretty skies and clouds)

2. Open the Advanced menu (if you dont have it yet press ctrl+alt+d)

3. Go to Debug Settings...

4. type renderuseFBO

5. Change value to TRUE

6. type renderdeferred

7. change value to true

8. Welcome to the world of dynamic shadows.

To disable dynamic shadows all you need to do is change the renderdeferred value back to false. (you can also change the renderuseFBO value to false too if you want)

Hair Fair 09: Groovygirl

[ Groovygirl - Arial | Siana ]

Groovygirl has 5 hairstyles at Hair Fair, and a freebie style for everyone who stops by the booth! This brand is new to me, but there are already some cute hairstyles that I'm totally going to recommend that people must get!!

[ Groovygirl - Azerie | Sophie | Mari ]

All Groovygirl hair features a resize menu, which is kind if a pain to adjust hair. This might be good for new & inexperience players who prefer a menu but most people would like to resize/mod hair themselves using the traditional SL menu. But try the demos, if it's cute and you think you can work with the resize menu, buyyyy it!

Hair Fair 09: Amacci

[ Amacci - Sophia (Butterscotch) ]

Do you like big fluffy hair? Amacci Hair has two gorgeous styles at Hair Fair that I just lurrrve. They are Sophia and Alice. There's also a third hairstyle called Elana that casual short pony tail.

Blowpop N2 Elizabeth Skins

Blowpop will be releasing these N2 Elizabeth skins on June 23rd, along with Ava, Carmen, and Maya (not shown here). The N2 Elizabeth skins will have 4 skin tones, each makeup includes 2 different makeup versions and a separate underwear layer for public hair (because the skins are bare down here). The Elizabeth face is so sweet, and the N2 blows me away. I love fresh pouty young girl look, and the variety of lipsticks & generous lip gloss!

Overall, the Elizabeth skin is really lovely and these are my favorite Blowpop skins ever. I think the face is so very sweet and perfectly done light skin tone will be a favorite for many people.

[ Blowpop - N2 Elizabeth - Tone B ]

If you're dying for a pre-release preview, join the Blowpop Update Group, there are are 4 exclusive group gifts for members (one makeup for each face in all skin tones). This sweet 'barbie pink' makeup is the preview gift for Elizabeth. SO YUMMY!

Hair Fair 09: Truth

Truth has released 4 fabulous women's hairstyles @ Hair Fair. You've probably seen many people go gaga over these hairs and totally well-deserved, the styles are adorable. Shown above are 4 of the hairs in "blondes" colors since they're my favorite colors.

I'm Wearing:

Truth - Sophia (Seaspray)
Truth - Romy (Tahiti)
Truth - Esme (Driftwood)
Truth - Twiggy (Platinum)

Be sure to visit Truth @ Hair Fair! (there's a gift for you!)

note* Yes I know the Hair Fair sims are hard to enter right now, but don't give up! The traffic will wear off soon as more people are able to purchase the goodies and leave! :)

Update!! The no mod was an SL glitch, and creator tomo Zenovka was nice enough to send replacements prims! YAY <3 I'm happy again!

I'm wearing the WTC lingerie v16 set here, which includes 2 options (bra/panties or with a cami and pants). WTC (by tomoe Zenovka) is a lingerie shop new to me, and I found so many adorable lingerie sets for cheap! For some reason the WTC lingerie ver16 (in green) that I purchased is no mod, so couldn't un-tint my leg prims or resize it to fit (I had to move the prims around my leg to make it fit). I went back to the shop to check, and sure enough another color of the set I bought had mod perms ~ so be sure to double check what you're purchasing! I'm totally bummed I have to ask the creator for modifiable leg prims, which is a hassle that could have been avoided if the perms are mod/no trans to begin with!

If you're purchasing lingerie without prims, the perms are no copy/trans, which is great for gift giving. Despite my annoyance with the perm issue at WTC, I really like this shop so far, and am totally adding it to my list of places to check when I want new lingerie.

Hair Fair 09: Diversity Hair

Diversity Hair has released 5 new hairstyles for the Hair Fair. The styles are cute & funky, they're all different from each other too! Lots of cute colors to choose from.

Tp to Diversity Hair @ Hair Fair

What I'm Wearing:

DH - Loni (Mocha Brown)
DH - Griff (Punky Pink)
DH - Daphne (Mocha Brown)
DH  - Natsumi (Punky Pink)
DH - Elysia (Tootsie Brown)


[ Shown above: Full bright, full bright @ midnight, not full bright (SO MUCH BETTER!) ]

One of my biggest hair pet peeves is FULL BRIGHT hair textures. Full bright textures changes the way the textures look (in the case above, it added more yellow to this Natsumi hairstyle in Platinum Blonde). I don't want to wear full bright hair, ever. This problem is not noticable in daylight, but once you're at Sunset or darker, the hair will be the only thing that glows on your avatar (hopefully) and it'll look awkward. Thankfully, all Diversity Hair hairstyles are modifable, even though it still annoyed me to have to uncheck the "full bright" button (what if I forget? It would lead to wearing awful bright hair). Some designers create no mod hair, and have this option permanently checked...... believe me when I say that if I've ever bought your hair and it was full bright and I couldn't undo that, I have never gone back. And I will tell all my friends... that your hair sucks. So please for the lurve of gawd, if you must do full bright, make your hair modifable or include two versions. Nobody likes full bright hair, really! /end rant

Hair Fair 09: Simply Britnee

Simply  Britnee has 4 women's style (shown above) and 1 men's style available at Hair Fair. All hairs sold at Simply Britnee are $300L per fatpack (all colors included!!). The Tati hairstyle will benefit Locks of Love, 50% of proceeds goes to this charity.

This Samanta hairstyle in "Sueno" hair color is a freebie only at Hair fair, so stop by Simply Britnee to pick up yours! :)
