Studded Brakinis

In celebration of my well drawn out obsession with Lady Gaga, I made this super hot studded brakini!



I've just been wearing it like so about in my workshop, my second hermit home aside from my shop. I added a posing stand which is quite fancy to me since I know that it's gunna be a bitch to adjust since not everyone has my chest. I wish I had a script that didn't change the size of the prims but.. just moved it up, down, left, right for those who aren't familiar with editting things, ya know?

Anyways, I'm really pumped with how this turned out, I'm super happy with it I think it looks absolutely marvy, it's fun just changing up the different styles of underthings. Haha. It's weird because I thought dresses were more of my thing but now I'm all about underthings all of a sudden. Although! I have this huge page of doodle ideas sort of in this direction, it's probably a little bit bad timing since it's supposed to be all about spring and being light but a part of me wants to go in that direction also. so! we will see what will happen. The madre is really yelling at me right now so gotta run, will continue later!

Anywho, I got into this new event ran by Chaotic Monday who is a marvy events coordinator and it's called La Venta Eventa! Woot! Basically how it works is starting on June 24th all weekend long and every four weeks from then on forevermore there's going to be an item up for sale for 100L or less that is obviously valued more than that. Woo! Very excited, I'm in the group and everything and got to have a chat to make sure I was solid. When I saw the list of other participaring designers so far I nearly fell off my rocker seeing that I recognized some of the names of other wonderrrrful mg designers. Oh dear!

Basically reality has been increasingly demanding lately so if you start to notice me moving a little bit slower than usual I'm probably a busy bee, being busy.

Also, I have been hanging about lately a ton in Tableau, a darling sim everyone should visit. I think my dream one day is to have a shop there. Mmmmm. I have to wait until my walls are not so bare though until I even start to see myself worthy. I need better things in shop I always feel like I need to get rid of the old!

She strikes again!

SO! Good thing I saw this because I totally got rid of the peacock set but put it back up in a heartbeat. No wonder people have been buying it latey! Sheesh. Thank you Strawberry, again. I owe plenty of my sales to you,  muaahhh.

Now back to my essay that's a week late. (Yikes)

Look what I made today

So, I made this Sailored Romper. I tweaked something that I made for CTF and editted a bit and then I pulled some sculpties from my bellybutton and this is what happened. I'm dying for it to be next week already so I can send out a notice for it but since no one reads this I assumed it wouldn't be bad to plop it on.

OH MY GOODNESS

So! I logged on this morning and I saw that someone messaged me. I opened it and then it was an invite to the LAZY SUNDAY EVENT (http://therumor.biz/2011/01/16/lazy-sunday-will-make-your-whole-week/)

Yes yes yes! I am going to have to thank the one and only Kyle I think for getting me noticed, I filled out an application and.. so yeah. I'll be hearing back from her soon. I am so happy though you guys have no idea! I finally get to be a part of something! Weee!

Also, I just got rid of all the old crap in my store that I don't take full pride in so my walls are extra bare, don't worry though it'll fill up. things I got rid of: Bora dresses, sailored trousers, basic cardis, onesie, and crappy old vest that everyone liked for some reason.

I heart spring cleaning!

Fresh Undies/Rantatantant

SL is totally being a bitch to me today. Silliness!

Anyways, made some undies and released them yesterday, they are totally a great start to spring since it just started to feel like spring here in Seattle so I'm in that zone of colours and such.



These were super fun to make since I basically had the crotchet down from the Brakinis I didn't have to go through hell again! Woo!

ALSO! notice how I'm calming down with the shading, I'm really trying to hit somewhat of a realism? I dunno if it's working but, I'm trying out different groovy shading techniques and it's different from what it was before. I feel like I'm growing as a designer! Awww.

Anyways, I feel super blessed because one of my past models from CTF offered me a custom gown project and I'm super excited about it, she never stops praising me I don't know what to do with myself because I don't feel like the ish yet. Haha!

I mean I feel like I'm still starting out and there's a lot more to learn and improve at. Like, I still have my home set to where my original location was in Eutopia across the street from the beach and sometimes when I log in it shows me the screen shot from when I set it as my home and everything is sooo outdated it's crazy how I'm saying that because it was only a couple months ago but there was a ton of growth between then and now and it's just the beginning, as long as I have people there supporting me which I do and I'm soooo thankful for I'mma keep going at it and sharing my ideas and such. Gross I feel so super cheesy!

But also like... yeah, I'm blessed to be the only teen making the way up the ladder but I was looking foward to sharing the joy with someone. I feel like I'm the only store on the Eros sim that isn't going downhill since the merge and I hate seeing more and more empty spots on the sim because those are all my fellow teen designers that were there way before my time and I wanna see them succeed, duh! I dunno. People tell me that like ohhhh they don't put the same amount of effort into whatever. I mean sure but I haven't even gotten into anything yet either as far as events go.

Anywho! Less of that seriousness, and back to yapping about something way cooler. OH! So, yesterday I got reunited with one of my favourites, Kimi, aka TAYLOR and we went to mojo this super groovy fancy shmancy skin/bod place where I got my skin not too long ago, and guess what? Yeah, the skin I got was reduced to 50% off. BOO on that I say. But I mean I'm really stingy with spending L. But! I do love that place, really great, I'm happy Brad showed it to me.

Oh! Speaking of Brad (Armonde; or who I've called my sculpting slave in the past), he's starting to get things in gear with his own thing which is super cool because I know that he has alot of the ingredients to make it. He's also been complaining that he doesn't want to be abused by me but I think that's just my way of kicking him around to get going or showing my appreciation and also that's just how we work, it's terrible. He's the only one who reads this I think but! Know that if we do.. do any project together before I learn sculpting myself (hopefully in the near future) totally gunna give him credit, duh. But also we are both so super wrapped up in our own thing, who knows, but it's scary seeing how much he has to offer. Yikes!

Alright, so what's next... who knows, because last time I was like, expect wearable shorts or something! and then I end up making undies. I kinda wanna bring in some dresses... or... I dunno! Prolly won't start until after Xandrah's dress which I am pumped for, woot.

I also can't stop listening to Lady GaGa. Whatever, I love her.

Phew, this was a long one!

Bisous, bisous

It's my RezDay!

Am I suppoed to be doing anything?

Pant pant pant

Who knew that CTF was going to be such a headache? I accidentally got kicked off since my outfits didn't load then they asked if I wanted to come back but I was like no thanks. I mean I would but the timing isn't right. AND! I feel reunited with my store, Touché! Mmm! Once again we have time together, it's been so long.

So, once we had make up sex we made these darling tanks.

Ribbed racerback tanks that are prolly to die for. I worked really super hard on these guys. You can wear it in basically four ways, modest or not, studded in gold or silver or not, what a dreaaaam. Shows just the right amount of belly button that you can get away with it without being called a hooker. But the top half without being modest good luck. I dunno, maybe it gets balanced with the classiness of the studs? Whatever, I really like how these turned out and I totally tried new gimpy techniques on them so it was a lovely learning experience.

Anyways, to be continued... I think I have just woken the beast (aka. M of M&D)

Good morning! Where was I...

So yes! Luckily people somehow managed to stumble upon my store while I had no releases (thank goodness) and I think I owe a large THANK YOU to Strawberry Singh, muah! I was surprised that I got blogged about behind my back and I think she's a big deal (so I've heard. I feel bad because I don't know anyone/anything I'm basically a hermit in my store) and so that was very exciting and a lot of sales from those brakinis so thank you, you, and you.

Link to her blog post: http://strawberrysingh.com/2011/04/30/fraise/

Anyways I'm hoping she'll stumble upon me once again, I don't want to bother her I'm sure everyone is busy.

BUT! I do need to start throwing myself into things, thanks to my vair groovy new friend Kyle/Divine (who is a laugh by the way) that I met through the also vair groovy friend Asuka, they helped and gave me some tips on where to poke about for my shop.
I have it literally writted down infront of me so I won't forget but I'm always a little shakey about these things because my walls are very bare compared to what the... judger.. or gate keeper of events.. who might be used to seeing more, so, I dunno hopefully I get accepted into some sort of event so people won't forget me!

I have a ton of ideas backed up the ass from not creating in a while so expect more within a two week time period.

Also, noticing a lack of bottoms in the shop that are wearable so I might attempt primly shorts.. or jeans or something? How does that sound? Great? Coolies.

Oh! Also, smoothed things over with my sculpter/slave, so, hooray! Sculpted goodies once again!

I might make a come back with the bonbon earrings, I just forgot how much I truly lurve them to death, might smash them together into a  bracelet, ring, or necklacey thing which will be totally fab since I'm lacking in the accessory department.

Anyways, off to class!

Bisous bisous
