LOTD Jul 20 - White flower in the desert
Today’s look is inspired by the recent collection designed by Faint Paulse, who brought innovation and set new trends with tribal elements in a very modern key.
Lately I’ve also searched a new skin that would fit my face and after viewing some options, I chose Orchid, by the body co. I love natural-looking skins, with nude looks that can be easily customized with make-ups in tattoo...

It looks like being very similar to Google+, however it is distributed as open-source and it is indeed open to everyone, including the thousands of people who work/enjoy in a virtual world like Second Life and are not accepted under their avatar’s name in social...

An outfit to make a strong statement and be ready to do business.

TIP OF THE WEEK // Posing on the runway
This week’s tip is pretty much visual.
I’m showing you some examples of poses that may happen to be seen on the runway. The following are all very nicely done poses, and work quite well with this outfit. Indeed, there’s no texture distorsion, prims are for the most part displayed correctly and not sinking in other prims or body parts. However, the point of this post is to show...

LOTD Jun 7 - Azoury
I love Azoury’s sculpties.
Shoes and prims are always amazing, as well as textures. But what really adds to this winning combo is Mayhem’s creativity. Tenue Rhys is the perfect example of what I’m talking about.

TIP OF THE WEEK // Casting time!
After so much work, casting time has arrived!
The first advice I feel like giving you is to make sure that your computer system is stable and ready to handle massive lag. This may sound blunt, but it’s true: if you are not able to control your system and manage such a laggy situation as a big casting or a fashion show is, your job opportunities will be limited, especially if you aim at...
