i wanna do bad things with you

now that my move is over (or at least, the hard part is done! now i just have to unpack everything i spent a month and a half boxing up……….. grr), i’m back to second life… and back to blogging!

o/

so i thought for my first post in my new house, to get back into the swing of things, that i’d indulge in what i like to call… a li’l fan service.

i may be slow to catch on, but i am currently *obsessed* with true blood. i’m desperately trying to catch up on all the episodes before the new season starts && considering the fact that i just started season 4 last night… i think i should be good before the premiere.

which is awesome, because today.. i’m doing my best impersonation of sookie stackhouse and channeling all things vampire bait.

/me perfects her “sweet and innocent” look….

it definitely helps to have two *very* sexy volunteers playing vampires for me, too. ❤

i tried convincing one of them to go blonde, just for one post, because eric northman is one of the hottest vampires i’ve seen since spike (and just what is it about blonde vampires, hm?), but alas.. neither one of the boys were kind enough to oblige.

not that it’s a terribly big deal..

..considering how well they played the part, blonde hair or not.

i *suppose* dark hair is just as hot on vampires as light hair is… mmh. not that i really was paying much attention to their hair… i mean, braden is there shirtless.. and allarik often looks prettier than *i* do. i’d be lying if i was really all that concerned about their hair color.

those fangs, on the other hand….

I’m Torn About Paying It Forward

Mostly I am torn because I chose to feature a dress from Torn, a mesh clothing boutique owned by Torn Difference, but it’s not just a play on words. You know I am a sucker for community-building projects, so Harlow Heslop’s Pay It Forward Project has a lot of appeal for me. In an ideal world, it would have developed organically and not in response to conflict, but in the real world, conflict is the heat that makes the seeds of change sprout. There is one way in which I would love there to be a sea change in the blogging world and if this helps bring it about, I will be thrilled.

In my opinion, too many see blogging as a zero-sum game, as though the traffic that goes to a competitor’s blog is traffic that won’t go to one’s own. In truth, fashion blogging is more like Starbucks. When Starbucks first began opening their stores all across America, there was a lot of griping about it killing the small local coffeehouses. The reality is, though, that a Starbucks opening up near a local coffeehouse is often the best thing that happens to them. Starbucks is not just selling coffee, it’s converting people to the idea of high-end, specialty coffee and amplifying the market.

How does Starbucks relate to blogging? Good fashion blogs generate more interest in fashion and in fashion blogs. People generally do not read just one blog, they read several. They start by checking out the blogrolls of favorite blogs in hopes of finding others with similar taste. They begin reading feeds and following fashion more closely. Blogging is the opposite of zero-sum, it’s more of a mutual-benefit relationship. This means is that traditional competition strategies are counter-productive. In a traditional business, you would never put up a sign for your competetor’s store in your store, but in blogging, inter-linking is critical to building your audience. There’s a synergy with competitors that creates an environment where what is good for one is usually good for all.  I don’t know whether doing good will generate enough good feeling to blunt the natural competitiveness that often fuels conflict, but it would be a great thing if it does. So, cheers to the Pay It Forward Project.

Now on to actually Paying It Forward. I came across a new-to-me Torn storefront at The Ashraya Project and purchased this Gozii dress which I love for it’s beautiful draping and gorgeous neckline. It’s not just new to me, though. It just opened in April and is pretty new overall. I popped over to the main store and saw a lot of beautiful clothing with new shapes and styles. That link will take you to the Marketplace storefront where you can see the large and creative inventory filled with lots of gorgeous prints and fabulous tops, skirts and dresses. In the store, there’s a picture of some dresses that are “Coming Soon” that interest me. I love the color story and creative flair in the clothing and look forward to the store’s future with anticipation.

Okay, now this the Pay It Forward part. The hardest thing for bloggers to do is to criticize something about a design. We all know that great creativity and imagination are often accompanied by tender feelings and sensitivity. So we tend to focus on the positive and gloss over or only briefly mention the negative. However, that does a disservice to our readers and ultimately to the creators whose work we love, because if we see something that should be better and don’t say anything, then we are not doing our best for the creators either.

That’s why I am paying it forward by pointing out that there’s one flaw that made me hesitate to buy more clothing. I was so tempted by the fatpack of pencil skirts, but I stopped because it’s alpha on the inside. This is not the only store that does this. So many leave the inside alpha that we are coming to accept this as the price of mesh, but it should not be. There are a few stores that do texture the inside and their clothes are more wearable and more flexible. I don’t know the mechanics of creation well enough to know why so many leave the inside alpha, but even if it is more difficult and costs a little more to upload, I urge everyone to texture the inside. It makes your clothes so much more tempting and will win you more long-term committed customers who will value the difference.

The Loneliness of Being

That doesn’t sound like it’ll be fun, but the art installation found on Pahute Island called The Loneliness of Being isn’t meant to be uproarious, but rather contemplative and serene.  I seem to be drawn to such places in Second Life, and I wanted to share it with you while I show off Hush Skin’s newest face called Grace and the very hot GCD Tiger.  I’m rarely the first to show you, but I enjoy giving my own interpretation and hope you’ll like it!

So what is The Loneliness of Being all about?  It is an isolated island with a cloud of colorful letters floating in the air.  I thought their notecard explained it well, so I offer a direct quote: “The Loneliness of Being is a contemplative installation by artist Ian Pahute. The cloud comprises a thousand ever-changing words. Drawn live from the internet (including live news feeds and Twitter), the cloud is always evolving. It always reflects the ‘now’. Some see nothing more than foggy letters. Others see words. Some see hidden meaning and insights.”

Though I was too busy taking pictures to be as contemplative as I might have been, I do highly recommend a visit to this beautifully done work of art.  It does have a feeling of being in the now and of experiencing the movement of thought.  I’m wearing a leather jacket from *COCO* on top of GCD Tiger, which can be worn with or without the skirt.  Here is a close up below of Hush Grace SmokeyPink in the Vanilla tone with light brows.  It is enhanced by an eye make up from Fishy Strawberry.

Gorgeous isn’t it!  I’m also rather fond of this Fashionably Dead hair I’m wearing called Roxy in a vivid orange.  Below, I’m wearing GCD Tiger without the jacket and sporting a head dress from SoliDea FoliEs along with a sleek new hair from Vanity Hair called Casual Affair.

I had a hard time getting rid of the tint inside the little cubes of the hat so I had to cut some of them out because my Photoshop skills are terribly limited.  The hat is fabulous and looks even better than I was able to convey here!

In the last two photos, Grace is enhanced by a luscious orange lip pant from Eyelure.  Visit Gwen Carillon Designs for exotic, tastefully sexy clothing options and Hush skins for a growing array of beautiful, refreshing skins.
