o.m.f.g.

Ok, I don’t have any photos, because I’m not on my computer and I CANNOT use photoshop elements. but holy hell, i LOVE windlight. downloaded it on my friends computer because he has 2 gb of ram and I only have one, because he was at work and I was bored, and the regular viewer was being evil.

Holy, I’m SO glad I did.

Does anyone else get turned on by the awesome beauty of windlight? I know I do.

Seriously, I just had an eyegasm.

p.s. Also: New Overheard in SL post.

Max Kleene on Tonight, last night!

Posted on November 12th, 2007 by Jade.
Categories: Newsworthy, Where to be.

There’s this guy I know, his name is Max. He lives just a few minutes from me in real life, though we have never met. He came to Second Life and once dreamed of being a builder. Instead, he picked up his guitar and started playing shows. Not a single person who has crossed his path or heard one of his shows will ever say he made a bad decision…

Last night Max appeared on the Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe, he filled the sim before the show even started.

Max typically plays covers of upbeat, “heart swell” type tunes. But last night he treated us all, he sang his first ever origional tune, Never Despair. He wrote the song in 3 days, beacuse he had to, but WOW. His new song was inspired by a close friend of his, who gave him a flower and simply said : Never Dispair. It brought the crowd to thier “feet” shouting encore. Click here to watch last nights episode and Max’s performance and interview, and join his group Rhythm Collective in world to get updates about upcoming shows.

I may not be an expert, but I love my music, and I can tell you that this humble accoustic rocker has a lot more in store for us and I can’t wait!

Categories: Fashion.

So, yesterday I was out shopping with/ for a friend, and we ended up at WRONG. I haven’t been there in FOREVER! She had so many new things that I loved. I bought this lovely little white PolkaDot Dress (L$250), which has tons of beautiful little prim details, and comes with come nice thigh highs. I also got her white Zippy Pants (L$120), which go really nice with the shirt portion of the dress.

The rest of my getup: ‘Herpe Harper’ hair in pink from Old Gravy, Deviant Nation Astral - Pure Skin by Celestial Studios, “#1 Crush” Deviant Nation nails from Celestial Studios, Asian theme tattoos from Canimal, Alexis shoes from Zhao Shoes, ‘By the Powah of Gray Skull” and ‘Zebra Schmebra’ bracelets from Woo’s, ‘Chinese Takeout’ earrings from Turnstyle. Facial piercings, eyes and sternum piercing, are Flawed Perfect/mine. The pose is dimples from Old Gravy.

Please note, that in the photo with the pants, my avatar refused to look the right direction, so it looks like I’m picking my nose. mmm boogers.

Ways to pass time in SL

Posted on November 4th, 2007 by Jade.
Categories: Shoes/Accessories, Where to be.

First things first, I must clarify that no noobs were hurt in the creation of this blog…

It has been a boring few days for me, Lex has left for the great white Norther, Ali is off capturing Panthers and I really should be spending my time in SL doing something productive, instead, I have come up with this list of things much more interesting to do in SL than work.

#1. Find a silly costume and make a lame tag to go with it.

I have quite a few origional avatars, everything from Tooter’s “Your Aunt” avatar, to my personal favorite, Pink Power Ranger. However, for this occasion I chose to go with the classic “City Chic” avatar a la Linden Lab. Now the tag you choose must compliment the avatar, there might not be anyone more famous than this girl… so I went with it…

Once you get to this stage it is important that you find something unique to do. I went and stood in the Hysteria sim and stared at people. Didn’t really say anything, just stared at them. I am pretty sure that makes people uncomfortable, but what else do you do when you are fiddling with this silly pic in Photoshop.

#2 Set a fun trap.

Akasha Wachmann of Catnip was kind enough to give me a fun chair for Halloween. Which I naturally set up to look like an art piece on my land and waited for someone to sit on. I waited a long time, the only people that would sit on it were friends I bribed with profile pictures and topless lap dances. I ended up posing for this picture myself, but not 10 minutes after, me date for the evening, Mr. “Boy Next Door” came and took a seat, unfortunately I wasn’t there to see it, but I hear it was great lawls.

#3 Write a blog that resembles a Seinfeld episode.

Well, this is perhaps the most productive thing that I have done all weekend, the writing of this blog that is… But I hope in a way I helped you to burn some time at the very least, cause this is like 4 minutes of your life you will never get back.

COME BACK LEX I MISS YOU (and I think that our readers are bored)

-> LEX EDIT: (cause I has teh fancy admin powers) I miss you and love you too Jadey cakes, I was busy partying IRL the way we all do in SL: clubs, gratuitous amounts of liquor, and loud music. Though, to be fair, I was wearing more than the usual SL clubbing attire of a semi see through latex cat suits with crotchless undies. WELL most of the time at least.. to be fair, on Halloween my friend DID keep undoing my shirt -.- I WISH YOU WERE THERE!

BWAHAHA! The office rules

Posted on October 28th, 2007 by Alexis.
Categories: Newsworthy.

See, CSI hired a big fancy company to make them a big fancy UNREALISTIC Second Life video. It had no accuracy at all in reference to how the game goes.. the whole thing was just silly. Silly, and quite frankly, retarded. It made me want to cry.

And then, ’round rolls Thursday night. With the office. Oh yes <3.

Yes, I downloaded the episode and watched it over and over and OVER again, much to my boyfriends displeasure, to get you the Second Life aspects, word for word.

Jim: You playing that game again?

Dwight: Second Life is not a game, it is a multi user, virtual environment. It doesn’t have points or scores; it doesn’t have winners or losers.

Jim: Oh, it has losers.

(All correct, factual information. Unlike anything in CSI)

Dwight to camera man: I signed up for Second Life about a year ago. Back then, my life was so great, that I literally wanted a second one. In my second life, I was also a paper salesman, and I was also named Dwight. Absolutely everything was the same… except I could fly.

*Shows Dwight with a HUGE headset on, staring intently at his avatar, and then a shot of his avatar. His name was (in a name hover thing, not in some made up thing like on CSI) Dwight Shelford. His group tag was “Asst to Regional Manager”

*******
Jim: Hey!

Pam: No, no talk, I’m animating…

Jim: Why don’t we take a quick ten second break from that, so I can show you whats going on here. Ok, this is Dwight’s second life. He’s on it all the time. So much so, that his little guy here, has created is own world. It’s called SECOND second life, for those people who want to be removed even further from reality.

Pam: …are you serious…

Jim:Yeah,

Pam: Oh my god, he’s really in pain! [points at Jim’s av] Who’s that!

Jim: Oh that just my avatar.. guy.. whatever..

Pam: He looks a lot like you! How much time did you spend on that?

Jim: Eh, not much, it’s just for tracking Dwight, so,…

Pam: right..

*shows Jim’s avatar with name and group tag and SIM LOCATION. name:Jim Samtanko, tag: Philly sports Writer, sim: Mesopotamia.

Pam: You’re a sports writer in Philadelphia? Nice build too,

Jim: *looks around* yep..

Pam: You have a guitar, slung on your back, I did not know you played guitar!

Jim: … I…. *looks embarrassed* Why don’t we go back to the… animation

Pam: No, no, no, i wanna see more of Philly Jim!

Jim: No show me how this-

Pam: No! I want Philly Jim!

Jim: Nahhh show me how this works

Pam: Ohh boy…

UNRELATED PHOTO THAT AMUSED ME

Kevin was imitating the kool-aid jug face LOL

Anyway.. I liked this WAY better than all the effort that was put into the CSI episode and all the crap that is surrounding the CSI thing. Oohh mystery game.. Oohh stupid user interactivity! (though thier noob packages are really awesome.)

I liked how the in-world footage was just a shot of a computer screen with the game on it.. It was a freaking blast to watch and I’ve never laughed so hard about second life. And you know, if something that Dwight is doing is mentioned THIS briefly, that it will be a recurring plot device.. I can’t wait. And I’ll blog all of it.

mwahahaah

P.S. I may miss some blogs ’round Halloween, I’m going to Banff to par-tay like a rockstar.

~*~*~*~*~ EDIT ~*~*~*~*~

I sussed out these profiles and it appears that Jim’s avatar is partnered with Pam Brezoianu. That would explain why she didn’t look confused at most of the second life stuff.

~*~*~*~*~ EDIT # 2 ~*~*~*~*~
Apparently Michael, Angela, and Toby have avatars as well, MichaelScott Schmooz, Sprinkles Mehrtens, and Toby Donardson, respectively

Autumn-TASTIC

Ahhh the Fall! Pretty leaves, cute sweaters, and, as I am Canadian, clinging to the last bit of warmth before I hide in my igloo for the winter, all comes to mind.

If it has to be cold, at the very least we can be fashionable!

This little gem of a hooded blazer from Decoy has become a staple in my wardrobe over the past week, its versatile and has some serious sex appeal when warn without an undershirt! It is available in six different colours: Navy (shown), Blue, Pink, Forest Green, Light Pink and Red. Retailing at 115$L its a steal to tide you thorough those chilly fall sims!

Coming next blog… where to be for Halloween!

(this rl work thing serious cuts into my sl time)

We want the SLapocolypse!

Posted on October 25th, 2007 by Jade.
Categories: Newsworthy, Where to be.

With SL all a buzz about last night’s CSI episode it only seems right to lead off my SL Blogging career with a post about this maddness. It doesnt appear the 90,000 user influx is coming. I kept close tabs on the stats and it appears after the episode aired in the Eastern timezone Online Residents actually decreased by 500. However as of 3pm SLT, we are at 51,000… We want an apocolypse! There were visions of 90,000 users online and crashes everywhere, missing inventories and the evil lag monsters taking over our world!!! oh wait… that’s Saturdays.

Regardless of all the stats and the possible economic impact, lets talk about the most important thing about the episode… STRAYLIGHT!!!! Annette and I were watching together in world and nearly died when we saw a few quick flashes of our favorite place in SL. It came when they were chasing the blue tiny on the hover board, and then it was gone as soon as it got there. On closer examination we actually saw a tent from a camp that the Straylight Faeries had set up for a while. How exciting! Mr Kriss Lehman is a superstar!

Other highlights:

Cop guy #1 says: dude they are totally going to pin you for a noob, you need a custom skin *beep beep boop*(hits a few keys), there you go ~Jade DIES~

Gary Sinises says: LOG OFF NOW!!

It was also pretty funny when Venus’ real life crashed… how else could she have gotten away.

If you havent visited Straylight yet click here for an SURL, and you can Visit the CBS webpage to view episode 405 “Down the Rabbit Hole“.

Peace out peeps, <3 Jade

Shoes and skins and sealing wax!

Posted on October 24th, 2007 by Alexis.
Categories: Shoes/Accessories, Clothing, Hair and Skin.

Ok, so there is no sealing wax. Whatever.
WELCOME TO THE FIRST POST IN THE Second Impression Blog!

And what a treasure trove of goodies I have here.

Even though half the reason I’m so in love with some of these items is because they were things I requested the designers make, I figure that since they are, or will be, publicly available, they are fair game for blogging.

The Black Tatts and Cherries B Line dress, buy Pin Upshaw of Pin Up Dolls is full of retro-ey fruit filled goodness that goes so nicely with everything else that I’m posting:) I LOVE it.

These shoes are the shoes I have searched for for MONTHS AND MONTHS, and finally, the holy-shoe-grail hath cometh. *weeps with joy* I’m not even kidding.. I really love these shoes!

Alexis Shoes(<3), from Melanie Zaho, of Zaho Shoes are the Second Life incarnation of my RL shoes. Melanie’s shoes are by far some of the best shoes in SL. No visible prim edges, no twitchy textures, and none of that “a huge chunk has been removed from my foot” look.

Other favorites from Zaho shoes include: Jenny, Betty, Vivacious, Zoey II and Fyre pictured below.

The Aine makeup on a Joanna skin by Ivana Rosher, is just…wow… Anyone who knows me knows that I dig and dig and DIG for skins that are like makeup I’d wear irl, and this is perfect! Besides the makeup, the details of the skins are beautiful and the lighting is amazing. Ivana does not have an actual “store” yet, but you know that the second she does, I’ll have it noted here, and in the directory.
Other makeups that she made for me, and will soon be released are shown below.
