Hey All My Friends!

How about all the amazing stuff that's appeared in the shops these days! WOW!!! Not to mention the abundance of free and cheap things...I'm sorry that so many of them are a result of shop closings.

In other GREAT NEWS: the Phoenix Viewer folks have come out with two new viewers recently - at last the 'final' non-beta version of Firestorm has arrived and I've installed it with little fuss except I can't stop my avatar's arm from going up when I right click - sheesh that looks so dorky! Yes, I've asked in the Phoenix-Firestorm group and haven't got an answer yet...lol. That group is as BIGGER and BUSIER than ever!

Also the upgraded Phoenix viewer with mesh accessibility has been released.

The best thing I've noticed so far on the new Firestorm-Release v3.2.2.24336 are the new functions in the camera window! WOW!!! I took these photos just yesterday and they are possibly the best quality I've ever taken in SL! Well...IMHO!!! LOL! I used my graphics editor ONLY for resizing and adding the signature - NO OTHER POST-PROCESSING! I really hope this will help to encourage folks to make and post ONLY their very best images without ANY JAGGIES!!!

I used to click on prims and click edit in order to do stop-motion photos but now that process is built in with Freeze Frame. I've always preferred to use my avatar's movements rather than static poses and wear an AO for photo sessions. Now you can just hit Freeze Frame as often as you like and freeze each tiny movement - then you can STILL cam around and get the best zoom and angle for the shot! I love it! There is also a little quality slider in the window which I set to the highest and then it disappeared! Hm...

Levitation!

OH NO, I'M A DOLL! A DOLLCOCO that is! :D

2011-10-29T03:33:00.000-07:00

OH NO, it finally happened, I've hung around too long and become a doll!

Actually I just couldn't resist this delightful new mesh avatar, so adorably made by cocoro Lemon of COCO fame!

I discovered quickly that the doll can wear some of the prims and mesh already in my inventory (she comes with just the one set of black lingerie) - everything from hair to shoes to clothes and jewellery though I admit it took a fair bit of editing to make things fit.

But so cool! I think I'm in love! :D

DollCOCO, Magika, Al Vulo, Frees,Slink and Me! (LEONIE
that is.) And What I Found! oooooooooooooooooh boo!

What I saw!!!

Just in case!

The scene is at DollCOCO, an all mesh avatar shop by
Cocoro Lemon (of COCO fame), just opened! I knew it had
to happen soon and was interested to see what new
avatars would come up. These are so cute, not too
spooky either. They are all mesh so you need special
clothes and hair for them from what I understand.

I can't imagine how many hours of work has gone into
this ball-jointed doll system. If nothing else, drop by
and take a look!

To top if off, there are two mesh ball-jointed doll
bodies FREE now. Add one of the adorable heads for 450L
(which is incredibly reasonable) and you're a doll!

I took all the pictures there.

[ Al Vulo! ] - [ Sally] - [ anniversary Sunkissed ]

mobs and a broken subo. Maybe take off your scripts or
high prim objects before you go. This is one of the

Hi All,

How's it going?

2nd OPENING Wednesday July 20, 2011
9-11am and 8-10pm SLT

I'm in Gallery 3 at The Rose Theatre and Galleries

As always I'm pretty obsessed with gold and here's the
"Gold Rush Fever" Show where you'll see fourteen new gold-toned fractal
paintings with gold prim frames and dark shadows - well the 14th is the carpet!

Also on display, a fractally textured table with a fractally textured gold and yellow diamond ring "LEONIE Moon Over Bangkok" is located there as well. Both are ON SPECIAL at 70L each! until the end of July.

Rose Theatre and Galleries is just that, a theatre and a massive series of galleries with more artists from around the world all collected by Kylie Sabra, gallery director. Thanks to the builder and owner Kaya Angel.

The sim next door is also home to a collection of 60 more permanent paintings.

Thanks so much to Kylie and Kaya for picking me!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all there! Please feel free to forward this to your lists and groups.

Thank you so much,

Upcoming writers meetings start June 8 at 12pm noon and 8pm SLT. Please contact Llola Lane if you're interested in seeing the painting and participating in this writing project.

Leonie Squiddity Tentacles

2011-05-13T14:51:00.000-07:00

Yay!!! My shop has reopened at last!!!

I shortened the name to just LEONIE or LEONIE (on the beach). It's on a great sim and yes I do have my own water even thought it's just a tiny bit at the moment.

I woke up one morning at my previous sim and look what came to greet me! Three adorable tentacles in three cool colours (more colours maybe soon?)!!!

At only 70L, you can afford to populate your water too. They each have one or two sits in them and are fully modifiable so you can put in your own poses if you like.

There are also two new sets of furniture which I hope to photograph soon. Almost all the pieces are under 100L! All pieces are copy and mod. In most cases you buy the object itself and simply change the
"When left clicked" option to Touch/grab. There are one or two poses in each piece of furniture as well and these are set to work with your own AO.

Please look at the previous posts on my blog to see what else you can find here (to be updated asap). There are quite a number of freebies and cheapies. There are FOUR dollarbie rings to find! New things will be arriving frequently and I plan to post them here as well.

Everyone welcome though this is a "Mature" sim, whatever that means - it's a limit and I'm sorry about that. Private viewings may be available for those who cannot tp to Mature land.

There will be an official opening party soon, likely later this month. We'll have a live DJ (SiselyBella Riggles, famous DJ at Club Onyx [owner of The SL Toolbox Chicks blog of course), dancing and a live light show done by the amazing Maidy aka Dolly of VenuSLights. No doubt I'll whip up a contest too!

All my public locations in Second Life are listed near the top right of my blog. They all have cheapies and/or freebies to be found. I'm also now listed in SL Search and in the SL Classifieds as LEONIE.

I even have four paintings up at Culture Shock with 50% of the sale going to Doctors Without Borders!

Also the art folks on the grid have been more than generous towards me and there have been a few more people finding me since I've had the show at the Pixel 2 Pixel Gallery so I have two upcoming shows around June 1 and July 1 as well as my official opening at Art Boulevard in August.

Thanks so much for your support and I hope to see you soon!

Trip to Thassa with Maidy (aka Dolly)

2011-05-01T15:49:00.000-07:00

Welcome to a little view of Thassa, an amazing Gorean sim! I was introduced to this sim when I was a box noob, eons ago!

Here's where you land after a lengthy rainy journey on a sailing ship. (Hint: click on the lifeboat to get to this beach.)

What a gorgeous place to explore with your pals and there are many cool poses for you and your significant other.

Look, so lucky to catch this sweet bird near my av.

Dolly - just standing around looking dollish!

(Actually kinda pissed off cuz she'd tried to drive the boat like 10 times and yet only I was able to drive it! She knows I'm not the world's greatest captain!)

Dolly and I squeezed in a little Tai Chi. When you find these balls, hop on for another little touring surprise here in Thassa.

Here's Dolly and I taking advantage of the romantic pose on one of the several kinds of vessels you can ride and/or rez in Thassa.

I could be Cleo if I didn't have to do the rowing myself! Hehe.

Here's just one of many dance animations you will find scattered around the beautiful spots of Thassa!

Dolly is wearing a recent skin free from Arata Shouten and a dress of her own making to arrive soon at her shop Maidy's Emporium.

I'm wearing an old Curio skin hunt gift (Belle), Kosh lipstick, Indyra Nikka dress and jacket (from current pink sale 130L), Posh Push and Shove hair (former sale), The Abyss Oxide dirty ballet shoes 200L, glow Bitterness earrings in gold - former TDR.

Take a relaxing holiday soon! Make sure to join the group though so you don't get captured by marauding Goreans!

MOI!!! @ Culture Shock!!!!

2011-05-01T04:19:00.000-07:00

Happy News!

Just at the last possible moment I was able to connect with Chic Management about the wall art I was supposed to hang here! And YAY! It's hanging on four corners on one of the fanciest junctions at the Culture Shock Venue!

There are four pieces, all black on transparent, making them ideal as tattoos for your walls at home or in your shop. They are copiable and modifiable. Each one is 200L with 100L of each purchase going towards Médicines Sans Frontières [Doctors Without Borders].

I was also lucky enough to get a bit of a preview and I'm telling you, the place is a knock-out!

Be sure to deprim and take off all scripts before you tp in tomorrow!

(BTW I'm wearing the free Sasha LB hair from Silenced and the latest gift dress from Mashooka! I couldn't resist using the new poses from Magnifique Poses to show off the new diamond ring I made, soon to be available in my new shop!)

Thanks,

La Femme Closing Already!

2011-02-12T19:51:00.000-08:00

Alas, my friend Lois Milgrove, whose shop La Femme my last posts were about, is closing. As a result, she has slashed her prices down to 25L per dress! Go over there right now and be gluttonous! Lol!

I'm wearing Pink Fuel 50L Skye Milk skin, Fishy Strawberry sweater (sale), GF Flower Pumps, La Femme skirt, Heart Softens Riri and a few other items in my bedroom.

As a result of all these other things I keep finding to do, I feel I set my bar too high and will be breaking one of my own pet SL fashion blogging peeves, which is not posting every single detail of where to find things. I know that so much of what I cover is freely available and probably covered more excitingly that what I do - which is finding cute looks using all the incredible items to be found in SL. Finding these things and doing things while wearing them seems to be more of a focus for me lately. Perhaps this will encourage iming! I dunno. I'll just name off a few things and if you can't find them, IM or note me in world. Let's see how it works. Who knows, it might be less boring for all!?!?!?

In light of that decision, I thought it would also give me the excuse to show random photos of my av wearing the various thing I find, mod or make even, along with my galleries and art and my newest shop: Leonie Textures and Sundries - opening soon!!! without having to spend days and days setting up for the shoot and documenting the whole thing when it's already been documented on the feeds! And you all know that keeping up with just the basic feeds these days is a full time job in and of itself, much less blogging the whole thing!

I believe it was Strawberry Singh who showed shots from the lovely Pixel Bean Coffee Shop sim and so I ended up there last night in layers of things I'd just recently bought or tried on. I also used the sim's windlight settings for something different that my standard "best light" settings so I thought my effect kinda cool.

In this lovely spot, I've got on an incongruous fur hat hair gift from 3636, 120L sweater from Pig, an indigo dress from Glad Rags for 5L (whole shop is on sale for 5L and closing at 6am February 17, 2011 SLT) and tinted ring from paper couture and some free nails from RezIpsa Loc. I loved those 50L The Squares Ethel Glasses at TastyBeans and had to have them even though I don't need glasses in Second Life. Oh yes and of course the fantastic group gift skin Eva from Glam Affair - only 30L to join and sooo worth it!

Ciao for now folks!

Lotusland XION African Male Shape (ONLY) 40L for D' Week Saturdays!

2010-11-11T23:26:00.000-08:00

So my "make your own boyfriend" Xion ("Shawn") decided that he was too stressed from the modelling business. So we went to Las Islas and swanned around! I was relegated to taking pictures! Check out the 1937 Jaguar SS-100 we rented. Xion let me drive a little but not too fast. That's our gorgeous pink room on the left. We spent a lot of time exploring the waterfalls, beaches, jungles, our room and shopping of course! Next time we're renting our own beach cottage for only 250L/week!

Industrially Wasted Gallery @ Urban Arts Gallery: ALREADY CLOSING November 11, 2010

2010-11-09T16:24:00.000-08:00

Hey All My Friends,

How's it going? Enjoying your second life? Me too! Lol!

Just a couple of days ago I heard from the owners of the Urban Arts Gallery that they would be closing on November 11, 2010. I had missed the earlier notecard! ARG!

In any case, I had just barely finished putting up this new show and hadn't even had a chance to have the opening party - was planning that for December. Oh well, freebie come, freebie go! Now I'm concentrating on my new gallery on Harmony Island that will open November 20th! Yay!

Meanwhile you've got only a couple of days to check out my gallery as well as any of the other amazing ones that haven't yet removed their works. I highly recommend Urban Arts as one of the most ARTISTIC looking galleries in SL as well as showing some of the most incredible art works.

It's so sad to find that the owners can't keep running it due to the costs and amount of work. Both pitsch Parx and Rodriguez Munro will be making time for their other artistic ventures. Pitsch did all the textures and also has a show there. He's got a number of incredible shops showing his gorgeous art and interiors - really cool, unusual stuff, much of it texture change so you get many art pieces in one object. He's moving to another sim to rebuild his main shop which will be opening soon.

So hobble on down there to see 4 levels of art you'll want to buy!

40 for D Week

2010-10-18T00:05:00.000-07:00

Hey All,

How's it going, eh?

I just met a designer called Shele Blackheart of SB Wear. She asked me to join her group which I had not yet heard of (big surprise - who can keep up with all the new SL fashion developments!?!?!) - 40 for D Week! Her blog is here. She has nice shop with lots of cool things and a special offer called BOGO (=buy one get one free), a new system in SL. The group has reached nearly 600 members with more designers and shoppers joining every day. Yes, so Saturdays are all designer specials for 40L only!

So I had to hustle for my first entry - it's a sculptie stole with one of my fractal/texture designs. I'll leave it up for at least one week as I didn't put it up until late Saturday.

Rays of Hope stole D by me from Lotusland Gallery Shop.
Skin: Mynerva Plain Jane V2 Vanilla blond brows, one tone pack with 20 variations and lashes, meant to be used with the new tattoo layers, 700L
Lips: Glamorize Pretty Pout Lips, Hazelnut (from fat pack of 20 colors 20L)
Eyes: negaposi Silent eyes - DEW prim eyes 30L
Hair: Analog Dog ash ash - in free ball near entry point, FREE
Tank: Jane intrinsic tank, reds, cherry FREE - along with a ton of other free colors

Location Lotusland Gallery Shop, painting RaysofHope0003. Be sure to check the table for some other free and cheap things.

Thanks so much and have fun shopping!

Phoenix Rising Outfit, D!va Group Gift and other cute things!

2010-10-08T15:46:00.000-07:00

Bustier, ruffled skirt, bracelet and bag are all from -Phoenix Rising- Breezie's Kiss (Khaki) 25L in the current closing shop sale. Skin is Mynerva - my all time go-to skin: Vanilla Plain Jane V2 w/eyeliner blonde brows, gift, blogged before. I made the shape. BTW, will do complimentary shapes for new players, makeover shapes for oldbies for a reasonable fee. IM me in world.

FREE D!va Chiaki (Cat's Eye) more than 7000 group member celebration, hat hair with options - you can change or remove the hat and rose as well as resizing it and it comes in 3 colours with 2 different fringe options! Just join the group and touch the vendor which is on the upper floor. They also have previous group gifts - both hair and poses, 6 LB's and 3 new discounted hairs, all gorgeous with several options at 50L each. Her usual hairs are only 100L for one colour and several options. A caution on the hair demos: all demos seem to come with a pose so it can be a bit tricky seeing the hair properly. I've always had great success with her hairs though! I'm also wearing a set of free eyes from Farouche LB: Aerial 052 Mix neon brights.

New Kalnins Flirt colour change sandals with 12 colours and masses of combinations. Their stuff is so nicely crafted! These are on sale at 50% off for a few more hours: 385L. Free zebra stockings from Paper Couture Fall 08 Gift pack.

Farouche Eyes Romantism jewel set of 5 colours in both round and oval shapes, also available free in LB at Farouche.

The Innsmouth location is a lovely creepy falling down grungy dirty place! Go there and be sure to use one of Torley Linden's Windlight presets (more Windlight settings to download as well here). I used [TOR] FOGGY Das Fog. There's also intermittent rain here. This location and setting was suggested to me by a friend! You know who you are! Thanks so much!

Check out PHOENIX RISING, Everything now 1L or 25L!!!!

2010-10-07T16:24:00.000-07:00

OK it's incredibly laggy in here with a ton of other shoppers but SO worth it! If you love detailed and well-made versatile clothing (including everyday casuals, office wear, party stuff, gowns and menswear; other designers' items not on sale) in lots of practical and interesting colours and designs, get your butt down to Phoenix Rising. Discount items are 1L, regular items are 25L. I even got the dress - in 2 colours! - that stayed listed at 200L during the earlier part of the sale, despite many notecards (maybe too many?) to the owner and manager.

ANYWAY!!! I'm super sorry that the owner has decided to leave SL and REAL always takes precedence, lol. Just sad that we are losing another incredible 3D designer...

Take advantage now!!! Hehe!

Ingenue Dress and Details

2010-09-30T16:46:00.001-07:00

Ingenue Seasons Hunt Dress
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

I saw this Ingenue Highland Traveler dress blogged many times and still thought I had to do my own look. Lol! Sheesh! Shot on Empress and Hierophant, (Empress and Heirophant blog) thinking the dress was a fine fit to their Celtic theme, I wore it in the pouring rain and fog, almost getting hit by lightening, standing next to three sheep (7 different Blackface Sheep are on sale for 175L along with some other cool things here.) (free sheep avatar no longer available from Alchemy Immortalis) piled against an Irish dolmen. The sim is amazing and highly worth exploring tho the Bed and Breakfast is not yet open. It's one of the few places I have found in Sl with a regularish rain storm. I stood getting wet thru like more than 8 cycles and failed to get a shot of the lightening flashes which vary a lot! (I have blogged this sim before under Tellaq & Dany.) Alchemy Immortalis is also in the process of moving - an amazing assortment of shops to be checked out as well.

The dress is still available in The Seasons Hunt at Ingenue. Look for an orange leaf. The really amazing thing about this dress is that it comes with an alpha layer to make invisible your entire waist area. So while you wear the fantastic brown leather prim corset, you will look spider waisted! It works best if you don't resize the corset. This will have many other applications for SL fashion. Check it out!

Ibanez Eyes Cheap Makeup Lashes
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

Ibanez SmoothGlow Eyes Algae - pretty sure this was a subo gift, lol. I couldn't find them in the store now, or the subo and LC. However there are still free eyes here. Ibanez is moving and I feel sure that these things will be available again soon. (Ed. Note: "Ibanez Eyes NEW Mainstore opens FRIDAY -- OCTOBER 1st 2010 -- 6PM SLT. [Will be no access until then.]
With this NEW mainstore opening there will be 3 brand-new releases: Softglow Eyes in Brights and Softglow Eyes in Pastels, and Smoothglow eyes. Plus, two re-releases of totally upgraded and improved classics; the Rivendell Line and the Creature Line!" from Annie Ibanez.) Also Wearing Cheap Makeup Spider Lashes (on tattoo layer, they work so much better for eyes that aren't within the "norm"!) 40L in gatcha, fatpack of 8 styles 320L.

Govil Hair artilleri Glasses Fluffy Tippet
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

Govil Thank You So Much Hair blonde, free. Lots of LB's and cheapies here. Mynerva Vanilla Plain Jane V.2, gift from creator, artilleri Gabriella glasses leopard 120L, Fluffy Fur Tippet, untied strings (colour change options) in gatcha for 30L. Lilipily African Jade Earrings were once a free gift, no longer available.

Kookie Shoes Sn@tch Tights
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

Vo Pumps by Kookie (not Cheerno), were 50L special, solid colours 500L pair. Orange and black Cheetah Tights are FREE in a fat pack of 12 colours from Sn@tch. If you have not yet checked out their free and bargain sections, they are underwater and incredible. Tons of stuff! This SLURL should land you in front of the tights in that section. (Do not pay attention to the prices on the vendors, left click and click buy for 0L.)

Yak&Yeti Bracelets SYDS Ring Sin Skin Nails
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

Yak & Yeti IS BACK!!! EVERYTHING SINGLE THING IN THE STORE IS FREE!!! There is a tip jar, proceeds going to help Tibet. Almost all the old contents appear to be there as well. That includes any amount of saris, clothing (men's and women's), jewellery, decor and furnishings. I didn't see the pets tho. I'm wearing the Yak & Yeti * Wax Bangles - wear all together * red set right.

Adorning my hand is the SyDs Serenite Ring (green) (I believe this may have been a gift at one time.) They are still available for 68L and are no copy so they make great gifts. Check out this amazing hair and jewellery shop. They have Lucky Boards as well.

Glitter Manicure Mocha is from Sin Skins. The whole shop is just 10L. I highly recommend their glove base manicures and well as the eyes.

Thanks and have fun!

R2 boots pumehana front (KDC MALL new location)

2010-09-27T23:01:00.001-07:00

R2 boots pumehana_001
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

R2 Pumehana (=warm love and affection in Hawaiian) Boots in black found with much effort! Here is the exact SLURL! They are located in a set apart display section along with a number of other fantastic new products. Pumehana comes in a sea green, light pink/mauve, sand and several other colours for only 249L, a real steal. I've always adored R2 - rei2 Aya makes a lot of nice footwear.

(Also in this area you'll find some amazing jewellery by Gabriel, including a group gift of a piercing set like you never seen. The detail!)

When you enter KDC Mall here, there is a huge wall to your right showing the tper's for all the separate shops and their Lucky Boards! (Not clear on why LB's would have to go off-line tho.) So I grabbed a few things here and there as I flew through the shockingly EMPTY corridors. One of the L's was right at R2 stall (the Pumehana Boots are not located here, just a pic) and I got a sweet pair of pink striped pumps! R2's shoe and boot sculpts are like none I have seen elsewhere on SL and reasonably priced as well as gorgeous!

Just a little further ahead front the entrance are tper's to the individual stalls and shops. Have fun shopping here before everyone finds out about it!

R2 Main Store

Also wearing DJunk socks! (Djunk & tarvike just fine socks pale, TARVIKE just fine socks black, tinted dark blue by me Yes, after I despaired last time I searched for it, DJUNK IS BACK! Yay! The sign says DJunk tho you'll also see UKK, Too Cool for School and Republic of N so I'm not absolutely sure what the correct shop name is yet. EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE STORE IS FREE (that I could see)! I will vouch for hard work tho yes some things are um...well...you take my meaning! Lol! I haven't tried on everything yet and there is a lot of cute stuff including clothing and skyboxes!

I'm standing in the lovely skybox from TEE*FY in the Seasons Hunt. Look for an orange leaf here.

Happy hunting my friends!

Tiny Voodoo Avatar
Originally uploaded by Leonie22

Check out this adorable little thing!

From the Twisted Hunt, spinning orange and black box, here is a burlap voodoo full avatar and with only 196 ARC!!! (Not that that apparently means anything about anything! Lol! ARC: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/ARC & http://analutetia.com/2009/06/22/anatomy-of-lag/) It's almost as great as the box shaped avatar to be found at the beginning of the hunt, which I posted here.

Watch out, this shop which will not be named here cuz I'm chicken, has no less than 13 decoys! Sheesh! I did hear the rumour that up to 12 decoys are allowed in this hunt but that is unconfirmed! Even so...WTF?

And with that note, I would like you to refer to this amazing post by Perion Leominster of SLEX and the CITY blog fame!

In this she speaks about some of her (and my friends'and mine) pet peeves about hunts! She had the courage to post about what I only rant about - but not on my blog! Lol!

So I will blame her for being my inspiration! Hehe
and add this note as well:

Bloggers and Creators

I honour, respect and thank you for your efforts and lovely things! I know how long it can take!

Number ONE principle: K.I.S.S,!!! People have only so much time to find and get your stuff! Most people want the simplest possible instructions if things are not self-explanatory (never assume that people will somehow KNOW what you are talking about.) LAG is a huge factor for many avatars - there are many articles about LAG and how to build to prevent it available thru SL and on the net. Consider the sim where you build - let's face it, mainland sims and also certain islands can be notorious for lag. I don't say cater to it at the loss of other things, though please do remember it. If LAG is a factor, nothing rezzes, PEOPLE ARE LIKELY TO JUST GIVE UP AND LEAVE THE AREA! This is one reason SL Marketplace (formerly XStreet) is so popular - and to me that is just the anti-thesis of SL. I WANT to see the shop!!!

Please check your SLURLS before you post. I have spent hours looking for items that I want to own and possibly blog, only to find that the SLURL leads nowhere near the blogged item, is nowhere to be found, least of all in that store. Then I usually search for the shop name in SL search and we all know how well that works! LOL! Of course there are more methods to try and find items but I wonder why the seller and blogger make it difficult for one to get/buy the thing. This is like anti-capitalistic and non-SL!!! He he! Make it big and right in front of your shop or in an obvious area! It's fine to do that with hunt items as well, many shops do it and I am then much more likely to spend additional time there, looking at the other creations available there. Really I'd rather stay out of Wireframe and Area Search and see the lovelies to be seen there.

Please also note that I often have to use Area Search, WireFrame and sometimes even a scripted object finder if other methods fail and I don't see or rez the item. I will use these freely available methods if am unable to easily find the item (as I like to be able to choose how I spend my time on SL)in hunts or for any other purpose as I am totally pressed for time. I have the fastest, most SL compliant computer I can afford and I'm sure other shoppers do too.

If I like something - which I frequently do! - and was able to obtain it quickly I will go back again and again to that shop! And not only will I happily and thankfully take a well-crafted freebie or cheapie, I will spend actual linden at the place too AND send my friends and blog readers there, all for free and without any expectation of free items, review items and so on.

Please, when offering a free or special gift - remember that you're promoting the shop, and stand to GAIN income rather than losing it. Yes, that last gorgeous skin I found in a hunt caused me to send 6 new buyers plus myself back to that shop more than once! Yay!

Please quote the exact and full name of the object and the store as well as the exact SLURL so that others can benefit from your work and information. I realise it's difficult to answer all blog comments but please do help out by letting others know what you do and by answering even the stupid questions (of which there is no such thing!) Lol! Please let us know if the object can only be obtained by certain people and how much it costs to join - if anything.

Also helpful is the link to the group, the creator's name (and blog if any) and the exact cost. It's quite frustrating to see something on a blog, TP over, find the object and then find that it is either not free (as you may have implied in your blog), not the price you quoted or no longer available - or hideously out of site financially! And yes, it is helpful to quote the current price of the item!

As for SL groups - I find that 25 is not enough. I can't stay in most groups for long. Personally, IMHO, I find it counter-productive to charge people to join shop based groups. More people will buy from the shop if they are under no obligation. It's a tough call for shop owners however, even with my shop, I stay away from any tricks to try and keep people in my groups - hehe, shameless plug cuz this is my blog: Lotusland Gallery and My Secret Guilt Free Addiction - are free to join and leave freely as you choose. I intend to set up a subscriber when I have more prims available in a larger shop. In My Secret Guilt Free Addiction group - anyone is free to join and create messages regarding FREE and SUPER CHEAP SL things. Everyone is free to open chat as well so please do feel free to join and I will soon set it up so that you can go almost directly to the join page from this blog - SOON! HAHA! Meanwhile hit my profile or Search to join them.

Thanks so much! (Please read my tone as polite, not sarcastic! Lol! Seriously!)

And now back to the lovely posts! Yay!

LS

PS Please do feel free to comment pleasantly here and do let me know if I have made any errors or oversights! TY! Happy SL!

Baby tigur NSF(The specials are shown in the picture above).

There are two other free items to be found in the gallery. There are also some Asian themed photos of mine for 100L each.

Maidyuk ("Maidy") Axel will be presenting her incredible light show of prims and some of my textures will turn up in her stylings and around the dance area.

DJ SiselyBella Wriggles of previous party fame is going to play ambient music for Maidy's show and later take requests of all kinds.

If we are super lucky Sis will get in the zone and play beyond the party hours!

Thanks again to Ivy Lane, Jadyn Firehawk, Zip Zlatkis and Timm Short and The Hope Village for making this all possible and giving me hope. Corny perhaps but I mean it! (BTW, Hope Villagers, most of this display is temporary!)

My Gallery Opening Party and Rezday! Everyone welcome!

Hi All My Friends,

How are you doing?

Please come to:

Lotusland Gallery Shop Opening,
Rays of Hope Opening
My Second Rezday Party
Thursday September 9, 2010 4-6pm SLT
The Hope Village Square

(Also to be blogged on my blog at Lotusland Notes V.2 and listed in events if all goes well! )

My little shop on my home sim is opening and I thought I may as well throw in my rezday party too.

The theme of the party for your wardrobe fun is "Rays of Hope" and this you can interpret as you like. There will be a judged contest during which you must be dancing and wearing an outfit representing this theme. Go wild! The winner will receive any painting of their choice that I have up on the grid including in my home above the gallery.

There will be a feature of my paintings: fifteen new fractal images all stemming from the same fractal parameters. (Google 'fractal' for more information! Lol.) There'll be some gifts and some specials so you many see something you like. I'm happy to answer any questions you have after the party as during the party I will be mass tping and having chat conferences and a million ims. Hehe.

Maidyuk ("Maidy") Axel will be presenting her incredible light show of prims and pixels and maybe if I'm lucky, some of my textures will turn up in her stylings and around the dance area.

DJ SiselyBella Wriggles of previous party fame is going to play ambient music for Maidy's show and later take requests of all kinds.

If we are super lucky Sis will get in the zone and play beyond the party hours!

Thanks again to Ivy Lane, Jadyn Firehawk, Zip Zlatkis and Timm Short for making this all possible and giving me hope. Corny perhaps but I mean it!

YOU HAVE TO GET THIS TWISTED HUNT BOX AVATAR

2010-09-05T21:51:00.000-07:00

Somewhere off world I saw a reference to this amazing avatar made by Helix Constantine as an extra gift for the Twisted Hunt. This is the only thing in that hunt that I've got so far and I'm loving it! Your entire avatar ends up being encased (or shall I say enboxed?) in a box like the one you are hunting for in the Twisted Hunt - a magical looking, spinning orange box.

Wow, has this served me well today! Of course I took off absolutely everything, then put on this avatar and FANTASTIC. I have been oh and off of any number of hugely laggy sims (especially the Hair Fair, Designers United 4 and the Unicef Project Donate in side this adorable box and have had none of the problems I had last night when I was trying to explore them in just a stripped down usual av.

So please, read the blogs, tell your friends and groups - this beats a naked avatar any day - take off those prims kids and shop in happiness instead of cold molasses!

Oh the other hand, I wonder when the day will come that SL will be able to hold large sim wide events like these and we will walk fashionably dressed with tons of prims, freely as we do elsewhere in-world!

Meanwhile you can modify this box to your heart's content. I'm thinking of putting a nice picture of my avatar in a cool outfit on the outside of it! Lol!

Here are two pics of the somewhat modified avatar:

i tinted one of the boxes green
here I'm wearing the box with a lovely Italian soap box texture I made

Shop HAPPY!!!

Ivy Lane - Speech at the Second Life Convention in Boston

2010-08-28T15:18:00.000-07:00

My Friend Ivy Lane!

Hey All,

How's it going?

Check out my friend and patron (Provocative Arts Gallery and Provocative Designs ), Ivy Lane's speech (just click on the title of this article for the link or here ) made during the SL Convention in Boston just a couple of weeks ago. Ivy along with her partner Phil Metalhead (whom I also express great thanks to) are the owners of Provocative Arts where my show Best in Purple is housed.

Twenty percent of the sales in that gallery go to benefit the Pixel To Pixel Foundation in Second Life which provides a stipend of 500L/week (which is a lot in SL terms!) to those from any country applying to the organization who are receiving a disability in Real Life. The head of this group is Jadyn Firehawk, if you require information or would like to make an application or contribution.

This agency runs entirely on donations. Here's an article from the Harrisburg Second Life Examiner about her and the org . Ivy Lane acts as an assistant to Jadyn in this project. Pixel To Pixel Foundation is a sister to the group The Hope Village which provides free housing, also for people with a disability in RL. Speaking for myself here - this is greatly appreciated by starving artists like me! Thanks to Ivy, I am where I am in Second Life today due to the fortune of meeting her. My exhibit Best in Purple in her gallery is dedicated to her. There are many other folks benefitting from this program who would not be able to have this kind of life in SL.

It's about semiotics:

"se·mi·ot·ics also se·mei·ot·ics (sm-tks, sm-, sm-)
n. (used with a sing. verb)
The theory and study of signs and symbols, especially as elements of language or other systems of communication, and comprising semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics."

The Free Dictionary

AND Second Life!!!

Wow, what a great and unifying way to look at Second Life!

OK Folks Here's the Canadian Political Content - Whistler Old Growth Forest to be CUT!!!!

2010-08-26T14:12:00.000-07:00

Remember the scenes of Whistler Mountain, British Columbia, Canada during the 2010 Winter Olympics? Well, soon you will never have the opportunity to see them again.

Let me take this opportunity to again CONDEMN Gordon Campbell the leader of British Columbia, Canada for destroying the natural beauty of our province not to mention killing as much of it as possible while in power these last almost 8 years. What is he thinking!!!!!?!?!? I would also like to vilify the so-called mayor of Whistler, Ken Melamed for this holocaust of trees to be visited there.

Yes, I am a tree hugger and I have no shame about it! This is going to destroy the resort area and kill animals too.

Please take a moment to email the mayor of Whistler: MayorsOffice@ Whistler.ca and the premier at premier.gov.bc.ca. Tell them you will not go to whistler and will tell your friends not to go until they promise not to cut down the trees.

Thank you,

AND now back to Second Life...

Hi Folks,

How are you doing?

This show is dedicated to Ivy Lane who is the owner of the gallery with her SO Phil Metalhead. I am where I am in SL thanks to Ivy! Thanks so much Ivy. BTW Ivy spoke at the SL Convention in Boston this past weekend and a recording should be available soon! She met the other Phil (lol), Philip Linden at the conference!

This is a charity show (loads of other exhibits in the gallery as well) to benefit the Pixel to Pixel Foundation (Jadyn Firehawk)...
Interview with Jadyn Firehawk in the Harrisburg Second Life Examiner:
http://www.examiner.com/second-life-in-national/pixel-to-pixel-foundation-features-artwork-by-disabled-residents-2

...which provides a stipend to those in SL who are on RL disability pensions (any country) and to the Provocative Arts Gallery (Ivy Land and Phil Metalhead) which provides profit sharing spaces to artists who have disabilities in RL. Twenty percent of each sale is divided between the two organizations.

Moi, Fractals and Specials

I specialise in fractal artwork which I've been making for the past 12 years. Essentially a fractal (google for masses more info) is a formula which describes natural objects. Some examples are spirals, seashells, leaves, flowers, trees and cityscapes. I use fractal graphic generators to create my images and usually display them as paintings and on other things as well.

Making colourful and interesting pictures is most important to me. Sometimes I choose names that are pertinent to me at the moment but usually they are fairly random! It's up to the individual viewer to decide what they envision there.

All the paintings and objects are copyable and modifiable so that you can size them to fit your place. Remember to make a copy before you start modifying. If you change the texture on your only copy, you will lose the original.

There are two gifts - Torso in purple and Fleur vase in purple (full perms) and two specials - sculptie chairs with my textures on them @ 50L/each.

Thanks so much and please enjoy the exhibit.

Leonie Szczepanski ["Shapansky"]

PS I also make textures and other little things as well as free shapes for all (1) especially new players. Can do custom orders as well.

PPS Regarding organization and invitations:

I'll send out another reminder just before the show. I will also send to my groups so please excuse double postings.

In addition, I will open a conference chat just before and possibly during the show - don't mean to spam you, I just want to be sure that all are aware. And those dang mass tp's!!! Don't you just hate them? Lol! I will do my best not to tp you more than once unless requested and will also try to exclude those who are already there! However, accidents happen and SL's systems aren't perfect. People pop off and on SL quickly. So please bear with me and know that I'm not trying to cause any problems. There are many people who request special reminders which I also try and fulfill if I'm not overwhelmed in im boxes! It's rather tricky to do it all individually not to mention impossibly time consuming. I apologies for any mix up's in advance! These are just the standard ways of announcing events in SL today - ! Hehe! I apologies if I can't get back to you quickly or miss your message - im or notecard me again!

I'm to have a shop opening in September for my rezday party September 9, 2010, so please keep that in mind too!

Thanks,
