I decided to post this picture as it is, without any edit or cut. Just a raw picture from SL. I think I kind of start to learn how to set stuff to get decent pictures and snapshots.
Happy about that, but still working to make it better.
How do you think about it? :D

Hey, what's up?!
I know what's going on! There is a new release from GLITTER! Oh, not yet, it will be out tomorrow! Do not miss on 25th January to visit GLITTER mainstore and look for RADIANT, the new dress. It is available in four colors, I am presenting red.

Along with the new dress, I am presenting the latest skin from DULCE SECRETS. Its name is Hollynn. It is not the first time I blog DS items, but this time I have to say I am impressed. I liked how the face fits my shape, and surprisingly the cleavage looks just right with the dress.
Oh, I know you noticed already: I am wearing the dark tone! If you know me, you know I never go for dark skins. I don't feel myself anymore. It's very rare!
But for this outfit I thought I might go for some mediterranean tone skin, and then I tried this tone on and... too dark? Well, I just love it!

Few words about the hair. I know it's not a recent release, I had the demo in my inventory for a long time. I was undecided. I needed hair that I call everyday-hair because my inventory is kind of just full of modeling items. Updos, funny hair, teatral hair, sculpture hair... so once I decided to gift myself a hairstyle that I am not going to wear during shows but just on private life. :D
Oh, and of course for the blog :P

Blogging - Logging issues

It's been a couple of days I haven't been able to stay inworld when I tried to shoot photos and I complained in the last posts how bad my graphics were.
I uninstalled the viewer, reinstalled... and then finally when logging in the SL website to check out why none of my contacts were online (and at first the website did show some of them online), the statusgrid page popped up.
So I got it.
Server mainentance, and whatever thing I'll never understand.
Kind of "We are working for you, please be patient"
Ok, thank you guys.
And thank you for doing it while I have runway shows training and reharsals XD

But yeah, since now I know why and I am sure it was not my computer but SL itself... I'm relief.
I ask all my readers please to understand why the quality of last couple of pictures was a worst then usual, and also my colleagues and people who might have been waiting for me inworld while I was not able to log in to join them.

Thank you.

Styled 202

This time I want to present a new set of poses from WetCat.
Firstly, I have to thank some guest actors of my picture: xKlaus Resident, Shon Borgin and Cheetah Ibor. They helped me to try to do a themed picture, even if we did have many troubles finding good quality corners for the shoot. I still have a couple of problems with the photo menu in SL. When I am in a highly scripted sim I am not able to save the picture on the computer, with makes all the effort we put in preparing it useless. So we changed a couple of settings until I didn't crash by the shooting.
Thank you by the heart, guys!

This set of poses is an exclusive for the TRUTH group.
Here is what the designer says itself in the notecard:
Exclusively for the Truth District shop !
