Criminy, I'm getting old you whippersnappers. Now bring me my headache powders, I'm going to listen to Caruso on the Philco.<br />
<br />
Not only that, but it's also <a href="http://www.strawberrysingh.com/">Strawberry Singh's</a> rezday. (Thanks to it being the same day as my Birthday I tend to remember it) Her blog is pretty much the only SL fashion blog I follow these days. While I kind of miss the old days of less video and more text, her videos ARE very helpful for those knew to mesh avatar enhancements. Happy Rezday Berry! Thank you for helping to keep our avatar selves pretty!<br />
<br />
I usually treat myself to SL fashion shopping on my birthday. Picked up this Cynful Maxi Summer dress from C88. I thought it was dressy enough to wear more formally. It has versions to wear with heels, and with flats, smart idea on the designer's part. I'm wearing KC Kairi heels.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also picked up this LaGyo jewelry set at C88, which reminded me of some of the Maxi Gossamer sets Berry wears, which is why I'm rather less pale than usual. There's a necklace, earrings and headpiece. Thought it would work well with the red version of this dress. (I also picked up the Maxi Gossamer Boho set that was also at C88) It also comes in silver. I'm wearing Argrace Miyako hair in brown and Lumae Ruby skin appliers on my Catwa Kathy head in T6 Tawny. the Makeup is the Luxe sets for eyes and lips from Alaska Metropolitan. Eyes are the IKON Charm Eyes in Chocolate.<br />

<br />
Yes <a href="https://strawberrysingh.com/">THAT Strawberry Singh</a>.<br />
<br />
I noticed right away that LL's "inSL" branding was mentioned by the LL employee, one Tia Linden, <a href="http://ccslfashionista.blogspot.com/2008/04/blogger-strike-against-lls-trademark.html">and had a flashback to 2008</a>.<br />
<br />
The whole policy was silly and counterproductive to Residents doing their thing and promoting SL BETTER than LL ever did, which is why it was never actually enforced.<br />
<br />
What I guess happened is that LL has some relatively new people in their IP
enforcement crew who have no knowledge of the SL history around this,
and got all hyped up about enforcing the already existing silly policy.
I figure that in a few days word will come down from LL's senior
employees who know that FIC, near-fic and oldbie residents are more
important to LL for promoting SL and being the people who actually make LL money, than their IP crew and the IP crew's knuckles will get
rapped and they'll get told to return to the previous status quo without
actually changing the policy.<br />
<br />
In the Mean Girls Vernacular, some of LL's employees went all Gretchen Weiner
and are trying to make "inSL" happen...again. Stop trying to make inSL happen!<br />

In the St. John regions of SL, there is a Hurricane event every August. I usually do a fiction post about it, more info on <a href="http://gabrielleriel.blogspot.com/">Gabrielle Riel's Songs of the Nightingale blog</a>.</h3>
<br />
Thank the Goddess and Powers that Be that I don't drink, not that it would affect me because of my {REDACTED BY ORDER OF MAMMA GKIKA, EUROPA WULFENBACH} nature.<br />
<br />
But DAMN did I want to start.<br />
<br />
First it was St. John Beach destroyed by EROSION of all things, sure the tides were high and the water warmer than usual and there was that big summer storm that I though might turn into a Hurricane but I thought the beach would survive...but it didn't. Residents fled to other realms or the rest of St. John...it was gone in almost an instant.<br />
<br />
Then there was...The Breakup. I swear I am going to vet any prospective innamorata for Gabi from now on....Kitty will help, he's been working on a Questionaire for them. It did not end well, it involved much Demon Alcohol, though strangely no Absinthe or Whisky. Must remember to actually HAVE Absinthe and some good Single-malt Glenlivet on hand next time. I may be a teetotaler of the St John and Steamlands Temperance in Moderation League, but if one is going to drink Demon Rum one should drink the Good Stuff. And I had to have a "Talk" with the fellow, this would be much easier if I had remembered to have the "Talk" with him at the beginning...especially if I'd morphed into {REDACTED BY ORDER OF MAMMA GKIKA, EUROPA WULFENBACH. BAD GURLIE, HYU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ONDERCOVER, REMEMBER} form. That ALWAYS got attention, especially with the 54 caliber revolver.<br />
<br />
Then came the NEWS from the Weather Bureau, which was not good. <br />
<br />
Luckily, I did have that newfangled orangeade, which Gabi preferred as her hangover remedy. Selena, Emma and Pru had brought her home, and Kitty was resting with them after he brought me, they were sleeping while I made up tea, and the orangeade. I had been planning on bringing the news when Kitty mentioned her incapacitation.<br />
<br />
She asked for the VERY BAD NEWS first which meant the Hurricane.<br />
<br />
Hurricane Gabrielle!<br />
<br />
Now when I told Gabi about it, I smirked since that was one of Gabi's nicknames. In fact when the Weather Bureau contacted me:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: Ah Miss CC of St. John?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: that's Ms.! I'm too old to be a Miss!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: Ah yes, that's right, I'm sorry, I forgot, won't happen again, just don't come into the office again... one of our Meterologists still has nightmares about what you did when one of our people called you "Girl"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: Continue</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: Ah yes, I hate to be the bearer of bad knews but there's a Hurricane heading your way.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: Gabi hasn't mentioned any vibes, that's unusual, she's a better forecaster than YOU are about Hurricanes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: Ah yes, we do try and we are improving our technology.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: My Apologies, you do your best, no offense intended.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: None Taken, the name of the Hurricane this year is Gabrielle</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: WHAAAAT? No {REDACTED ON ORDER OF DECENCY BUREAU} way! HY KAN'T BELIEFF IT!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: Yes, it is, we believed you'd have this reaction but we didn't expect you to blow out our Eardrums with profanity. Your voice is very...strong. And what kind of funny phonetic accent was that last sentence?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: Hy don' hef an accent schmot guy! I mean, I don't have an accent, what do you mean by that?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather Bureau: What ever you say Ms. CC. Be safe and be careful</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moi: Will do, and I really do thank you deeply. I'll be sending messages out to our friends elsewhere.</span></span><br />
<br />
I passed the info on to Gabi, surprised she didn't ask the name at first. When she did, she laughed and obviously her hangover caused her to OW<br />
<br />
"Well isn't that just...", she said.<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
"Indeed." I replied.<br />
<br />
At that moment Amelia came in to take over care duties, so I could send out messages, which Gabi does have to authorize first. She brought Muffins, of which I grabbed one and stuck it in my bag. I don't always eat Genuine Europan {REDACTED BY ORDER OF MAMMA GKIKA, EUROPA WULFENBACH. NO MENTIONINK DE BOG EATINK!}<br />
<br />
She made a few changes to the form and handed it back to me.<br />
<br />
“Thank you CC,” she said. “For everything. Now let’s get that out to the Steamlands immediately.” <br /> <br /> “Yes Your Grace,” I replied, automatically reverting to her original style of address.<br />
<br />
I headed back home to send the messages via telegraph, wireless and telephone...while the phone lasted. I swear the St. John Telephone service needs tech upgrades! In times like these the Telegraph and wireless have actually been more reliable!<br />

There's one good thing about being a {REDACTED BY ORDER OF MAMMA GKIKA, EUROPA WULFENBACH}, I'm damn strong. Lifting these sandbags was like picking up flowers, and I could quickly throw them into place with just one hand.<br />

Zan can't get a Maitreya dev kit so he has to guess. He had a Slink one, but as he has found out, the Maitreya body has become more popular leaving him in a fix. Here's the thing, some of his things work fine with the Maitreya body...just try them out. Demos are on <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/58846">marketplace</a>. If you have a Maitreya body, head upstairs....those tend to work better. The fit isn't perfect, but it is close and well without a devkit it's all guesses. This is original mesh NOT templates. Well worth taking a look if you're a steampunk who wants something besides the usual corsets and cleavage gear...even I don't always want cleavage <br />

Charlotte is wearing Zan's Stroller dress. Her hair is Slink Constance, which I should pick up. Her head is a Catwa Amy. Her eyes are from Inkheart, Winter fantasy eyes in Snow.<br />
<br />
I'm going to say this right up front, the Maitreya body developer needs to be more forthcoming with the devkit and more free with it's release. Even with small niche creators like Zan. Getting it into as many hands as possible makes higher quality items for the body available and INCREASES the desirability of said body even more than it is already, ESPECIALLY in niche communities like the Steamlands.<br />

So I found it and put it on and remembered there was a Titanic build in SL. I found that easy enough and discovered the ballroom was basically a mall, but I headed to the bow, turned on shadows, Depth of Field, messed with some windlight and ... Near.....far...wherever you are....<br />

<br />
One of the ways I do that in SL is groups, the Fashion Emergency, and the Maitreya Lara group in particular. In these groups I talk with other fashionistas like LaDonna Upshaw, Vivienne Graves, and the maker of posestands, and other photoprops, Ava Rage.<br />
<br />
These people have been among my fashion enablers over the past years. Now recently we were talking skins and Ava mentioned she uses the Lumae Eirtae. I told her that while I had the Eirtae it wasn't quite me and I mentioned it was the Melusine that I'd picked up at some fantasy event...and then she said something like "CC, that's a special edition version, theres a regular version!." Then I have my Don Draper moment and say "What?" Then, relatively quickly, meaning the next day, I go visit Lumae.<br />
<br />
Now my readers and flickr followers have seen Lumae's fantasy skins here before, the Dark Elf-ish Hecate, the Devilish Naamah and the Wicked Green Orismer. I liked them quite a bit and liked them after I picked up my Catwa Tumble head.<br />
<br />
Now the important thing about skins and appliers for me is "Does it come in a pale enough shade? Does it suit a redhead? Is it fairly priced and of goodly quality?" Yes, yes they do. I eventually picked up the Eirtae and Ruby sets in T3/Shell and T4/Fawnshades. The T4's because I discovered the T3's weren't quite perfect for some modern looks. When I mentioned picking up the T4's to Ava she said something like: "You tanned Freak!" Which made me laugh because the T4's are STILL pale. They come with appliers for various bodies, and heads and also for Lumae's ears! So yes, you can use these skins if you're an Elf like The Blogging Elf. I would describe the main difference as the Eirtae's being more romantic and softer and the Ruby being more aristocratic and modern, with cheekbones sharp enough to slice bread!<br />
<br />
Here we have the Eirtae in T4 with some Pink Fuel Glossy Pout lips and Smokey Boudoir eyeshadow. Gives me a Gogo from Juicybomb meets Megan Fox sort of thing especially with the Catwa head's slightly parted lips option. Hair is Exile Bewitched.<br />

Thanks to Ava, I'm the Shopping Queen. This is her Chalkboard set. There are several phrases (coffee, vodka, family, love, etc) , backgrounds, floors, poses you can use. I find it fun and mentioned wanting MOAR phrases. We'll see. Get it at SecondSnaps. And yes, with Shopping Queen I had to pull out a Tiara. Don't look at me that way, I have a Tiara and I know how to use it! Though in all honest I don't really shop all that much compared to most in SL.<br />

Because thanks to Amazon Prime I could get the Limited Edition for 63.99 which is only $4 more than the digital version. Which gets you a steelbook case, comic, art book, dynamic theme, Bonus In-game DLC - Photonix Core advanced ship boost, Trader Charisma bonus set of valuable resources, and Boltcaster SM weapon blueprint, AND the Alpha Vector ship with upgraded lasers and built in hyperdrive.<br /> <br /> Quite frankly, that stuff is worth the $4 and the slight inconvenience of having to put the disc in to play. It arrived about 2pm. I was playing, took some screenshots and a video so I could mention it on a few forums and the blog.<br /> <br /> As everyone knows, No Man's Sky is a procedurally generated space survival/exploration/trading game with 18 quintillion planets to explore. Literally! In scientific notation there are 1.8 x 10^19 planets. Every player starts on their own planet and it is unlikely anyone will see another player.<br /><br />
I started off on a cold foresty planet. Just so you know, you can't change the units from Metric to Imperial. While I can deal with meters/kilometers, I still think in Fahrenheit.<br />

I haven't upgraded the ship or my multitool to the LE ones yet, I'll
wait till I get a hyperdrive for the starter ship, because if you switch
to the LE ship it still bugs you to make a hyperdrive even though the
LE ship is equipped with one. There are no pictures of my in-game
character because you simply never see yourself and there is no 3rd
person mode.<br />

I did start streaming to YouTube my first moments, up till I had to take a bathroom break, but that isn't available in the archive yet.<br />
<br />
Overall, I'm having a positive experience so far. It's minecrafty, but space-y, with that whole 70's sci-fi novel cover aesthetic. Quick tip, you can use all the scan beacon options if you make multiple bypass chips and I recommend doing so since it adds points of interest to your "Radar".<br />

And you'll never guess who is standing near the Glowing Tree....MINSC! I've never even played the Bioware Baldur's Gate games and even I know who he is. I had a fangirl moment and looked for Boo, his hamster, but it looks like he doesn't have it. What kind of travesty is that?<br />

Inspired by Marty Robbins "Big Iron" and the zombies that were in Babbage a couple of years ago, and maybe a bit by my thing for gatlings and Coco of Team CFVY in the web animation series RWBY<br />
<i> </i><br />
<i> To the town of New Babbage came a stranger one fine day<br />
Hardly spoke to folks around her didn't have too much to say<br />
No one dared to ask her business no one dared to make a slip<br />
for the stranger there among them had a gatling on her hip<br />
Gatling on her hip<br />
<br />
It was early in the morning when she flew into the town<br />
She came flying from the south side slowly lookin' all around<br />
She's a redhead loose and running came the whisper from each lip<br />
And she's here to do some business with the gatling on her hip<br />
Gatling on her hip<br />
<br />
In this town there were zombies of the kind that are undead<br />
Many men had tried to destroy them and that many men were dead<br />
They were vicious and killers and numbered twenty four<br />
And the brains they had eaten numbered one an nineteen more<br />
One and nineteen more<br />
<br />
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around<br />
Was a Fashionista redhead wouldn't be too long in town<br />
She came here to help the people who were living against undead<br />
And she said it didn't matter she was after the undead<br />
After the undead<br />
<br />
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to the undead<br />
But the undead didn't worry men that tried before were dead<br />
Twenty men had tried to take them twenty men had made a slip<br />
Twenty one would be the redhead with the Gatling on her hip<br />
Gatling on her hip<br />
<br />
The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet<br />
It was twenty past eleven when they shambled out in the street<br />
Folks were watching from the windows every-body held their breath<br />
They knew this lovely redhead was about to meet her death<br />
About to meet her death<br />
<br />
There was twelve meters between them when they ran to eat and slay<br />
And the swiftness of the redhead is still talked about today<br />
The undead had not cleared a meter fore many bullets fairly ripped<br />
And the redhead's aim was deadly with the gatling on her hip<br />
Gatling on her hip<br />
<br />
It was over in a moment and the engineers had gathered round<br />
There before them lay the bodies of the undead on the ground<br />
Oh they might have stayed un-living but they made one fatal slip<br />
When they tried to match the redhead with the gatling on her hip<br />
Gatling on her hip</i><br />

By the way, I WAS threatened with Sticks and The Squid for playing Rick Astley in 2014.<br />
<br />
While I sometimes say I wouldn't be in SL without the Shopping Addiction, that's not the ONLY thing. If it was "just" shopping I wouldn't have stayed in SL either....it's the people. All the friends and acquaintances I've met, you're one of the reasons SL is special. And again, you're all welcome to come to the party!CronoCloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13837636780764302961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31984703.post-9287546927095749252016-04-10T13:11:00.000-05:002016-04-10T13:11:02.995-05:00SecondSnaps Studio 3 Mesh Modeling Studio, by Ava RageAva Rage, fashionista (and friend) par excellance has updated her SecondSnaps studio. As any long time readers would know, her studio replaced my "vintage" Picture Perfect studio from Sabrina Doolittle, though I kept the Picture Perfect pose stand in use because I liked it slightly better than the one in the earlier versions of the SecondSnaps studios......until now.<br />
<br />

Basically the studio big buttons to choose and switch between textures, and you can add more via texture sets or make your own. It also has built in lighting and other features.<br />
<br />
But the posestand does something that I don't think any other pose stand in SL does. You rez it a bit ABOVE your picture taking spot and pose BELOW it. With other pose stands that you stand ON, if you're wearing a long dress it can get in the way of the buttons to switch poses...but not this one. They're ABOVE you and they're not tiny little things, so easy to click on. It has the standard show/hide feature and you can add more poses as usual.<br />
<br />

<br />
I slapped my 3-axis rotation script that lets me rotate a pose stand at any angle I want with a chat command without having to manually turn it via the edit window. For example "/7 z 180" rotates the stand 180 degrees for quick pictures of the back of outfits.<br />

<br />
All in all the SecondSnaps is the "best selling full-featured entry-level studio since 2011," for very good reasons. It just "works", doesn't have a high LI, is easy to use, and is inexpensive. I highly recommend it.<br /><br />
Acquire the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NEW-SecondSnaps-Studio-3-Mesh-Modeling-Studio-Photo-Studio-30-Backgrounds-30-Poses/1270265">SecondSnaps Studio via Marketplace</a> or <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lost%20Farm/151/213/1192">via the SecondSnaps in-world store</a>, for only L$350 for studio and pose stand.<br />

Thankfully, unlike Erratic lingerie, United Colors lingerie is more "reasonably" priced. It's less than HALF the price of an Erratic set, which is a good fair price for lingerie. Sadly, stockings are not included, but I consider this lingerie to be a better buy than the Erratic Eden set. There's a Hud that you can change the colors of the trim/straps as well.<br />

League Erin skin, Clawtooth "Audrey H" hair that I have tinted to my proper color (good ole 128/65/0 to the rescue). I bought the EnVogue hair that Connie was wearing in the picture, but sad to say it is NOT tintable to my proper color.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what shoes these are. Dirty Princess I think.<br />

I think I look like a redheaded Scarlett Johanssen with RBF (Resting Bitch Face) But I'm ARISTOCRATIC, not angry. I really need to find a different skin that makes me look less "angry" and more "approachable". I do think I look good, just in a severe way.<br />

Gaussed and glowed this one up.Thought about picking up some violet eyes for a "Liz Taylor-esque" look, but I didn't get around to doing it. The "Audrey H" hair reminds me more of her, than the Blessed Audrey.<br />

Well they didn't hold a gun to my head, they just take pretty pictures that make me want to buy stuff.<br />
<br />
I picked up the Erratic Eden set, and thought that the white version would look good worn over my Lumae Hecate skin, Unseelie style. Gotta have my cheesecake for my favorite Steamlands Unseelie couple, Darlingmonster Ember (nicknamed DME) and Solace Fairlady, AKA The Ember-Fairlady's. When I go Unseelie, I tend to look DME-ish anyway.<br />
<br />
To save time, and because I love these shots, I'm posting the raw shots taken with shadows and DOF and whatnot:<br />
<br />
Here you can see the back of the Erratic Allure robe<br />

Strangely, when the Shopping Desire Monkey hits me with the need for what we used to call a "Lemming run" (those are what happens when something becomes popular amongst the Fashionistas and makeupistas of USENET newsgroup alt.fashion and everyone runs out and gets it), I revert to "Third Person Fashion Hulk Speak."<br />
<br />
So I purchased the pretties and then didn't get around to taking pictures of them....until I bought OTHER lingerie, which I can blame on Connie Arida and Strawberry Singh. They make me buy stuff.....I'm not a shopping addict...nosirree.<br />
<br />
So I took pictures but wanted some Charlemagne focused Cheesecake, because I had done some Unseelie cheesecake intended for the Ember-Fairlady's...which will be blogged...sometime.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I had found this Nar Zoe (3) skin that reminded me of Charlemagne, which is a touch paler than my usual League Erin, and took pictures:<br />

I love this lingerie, it's sexy but vintage-y and classy. There's a HUD for the bralette which lets you change to a sheer style and a sheer with dots option as well. Shoes are Essenz Marseilles, which are sexay, but a touch overpriced IMHO. Essenz "used" to be a budget offering, but not anymore sad to say. I recommend KC and BabyMonkey for budget shoes these days.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the ISON Ethereal gown, which also comes with an option for a sheer upper bodice addition that makes it more "demure", but I prefer this strapless option without the sheer bit.<br />

The hair I'm wearing is Truth Nayeli, one of the few Truth hairs I have in black/white in addition to LightBlondes and my usual reds. It is one of my favorite sexy updos on the grid, and I recommend getting it or the similar Truth Mayim, which I also have.<br />

Location: Edison Ballroom in St John in Second Life<br />Dance was Nina 5 from Akeyo<br />Muted Coven Dress from Zenith<br />Margot Ballet shoes from Slink<br />Zoe (3) skin from Nar<br />Rogue updo from Lelutka (included with their mesh heads) and tinted to my proper dark red color. (I use 128/65/0 to get it close enough to the classic Truth Blood/Reds05 and the old 2007 version of ETD Mahogany.)<br />
<br />
I'm also wearing the new Deluxe Slink feet, which have ALL the feet shapes in one attachment. You use the utilities hud to change feet styles, no more detaching and attaching! Not only that, but there are TWO new feet styles, a "Ballet" style, that I'm using in the video, and a new KITTEN feet style. When I first heard of that I went SQUEE, since I adore kitten heels in RL.<br />

Yep, I'm doing the Stephen Colbert's #BerniePromposal meme. I AM planning on voting for Bernie in the primary.<br />

I decided to give Bernie an 80's blonde prom princess. The Dress is Brocade Corset Top and Lace skirt from Zenith. Hair is the Harlow from Chemistry, Skin is the Pink Fuel Harley, Jewelry is the Kinbaku Heart set from Maxi Gossamer.<br />

Wait...stop laughing, I'm not always thinking about fashion or shopping in SL! Anyway, I was thinking: "What would the CC wear if she had a holiday office party to attend." I had an outfit in mind, but didn't take any pictures or anything, being lazy, unmotivated to blog and without a lot of time.<br />
<br />
But... I follow a few RL fashion blogs, One in particular is <a href="http://fashionapocalypse.blogspot.com/">Fashion Apocalypse</a>, which is the blog of my favorite curvy fashion blogger, who calls herself "The Lapsed Victorian". I tend to like what "Lapsy" likes. She likes the vintage influences, worships Christina Hendricks, and dresses WELL.<br />
<br />
Well anyway, a couple of days ago she posted her <a href="http://fashionapocalypse.blogspot.com/2015/12/well-red-christmas-ootd.html">Christmas day Outfit of the Day</a> which was, "On Fleek", as the kids say these days on their Facingbooks, Tinterests and Pumblr's. If you follow that link you can see that it's a lovely red dress with vintage influences, ballet neckline and slightly below the knee hemline. She accesorized it with a nice bag, patterned hosiery and nice shoes. I LOVED EET! It reminded me so much of the outfit I was thinking of for "CC" that I decided to post the outfit. It also reminded me of an outfit I was thinking of for a character in a story that was writing in my head.<br />
<br />
Anyway here's the look, taken with shadows, depth of field and whatnot:<br />
<br />

<br />
That's the Fame dress from Molichino. Molichino shut down so it's not available anymore sad to say. But I love this dress and should have shown it on the blog sooner. It's in my flickr, but not the blog, but I would have sworn that I blogged it, but I guess I didn't. But it doesn't matter because you can't get it anymore. Sadface, because it works well over the Maitreya Lara body. The clutch is from CoCo<br />

<br />
The hair is Wasabi Pills Jamie, which I wore because it reminded me of "Lapsy's" hair a nice layered mid-length. Jewelry is the Michelle set from Yummy. Skin is my usual League Erin and eyes are my usual IKON Charmed Eyes in Moor.<br />

<br />
The shoes and hosiery I picked up for the look today. I was going to wear my Izzie's tights, but the patterned tights don't have Maitreya appliers. So I looked on market place for something like the dotted faux-fishnet Lapsy was wearing and found these Polka Tights from The Secret Store, which are perfect for adding a bit of interest to the leg.<br />
<br />
The shoes are the Mutresse Volena Spectator style pumps, worn with the SLink High feet, but I'm wearing them with all black options set.<br />
<br />
Here's a studio shot of the look.<br />

It might not be surprising but I thought about doing a "do's and don'ts" of Holiday Party dressing post last year using RL as a basis for the choices. One of the pictures I took then is also a good holiday party look. It's a bit more formal. You wouldn't wear this one to an office party, unless it was held at a hotel ballroom or something. This is more a "Dressy holiday party where there will be dancing" look:<br />

The dress is the PurpleMoon Maureen from a couple of years ago. It's vintage inspired with a sort of 50's look to it, but it's classic enough one could wear it to a modern party. It's a nice dress but doesn't play well with mesh bodies sad to say. I'd kill for an updated version. I wore it with Truth Mayim hair, and Essenz Zurich pumps. I do believe that's the same Michelle pearl set from Yummy. I was wearing Belleza skin back then, of course.<br />
<br />
Anyway there you have two nice holiday looks. Which would work rather well for Valentines Day outfits as well!<br />

Now for the actual pose stand pictures, still cheesecake though. I think I resemble my friend LDO in this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Right then, Erratic Delice set, Bra, thong, suspender belt (garter belt for us Yanks), and suspender brief (brief with built in garters), and stockings (with appliers for Maitreya bodies and Slink feet) Make sure you have the most recent OmniHud 6.1 version of the feet, the stockings require them. I really can't say more about the lingerie other than it's Erratic, which the glamorous sexpot fashionista types at the Chamber seem to wear. The fit is good (erratic lingerie also works on non-mesh bodies if you're close to the standard sizes), and it looks REALLY good. It's frickin shmexy for sure. You can probably guess I have the fatpack.<br />
<br />
I wore it with Truth's new Heloisa hair, a shmexy "windblown supermodel" hair and Hucci's Jacmel pumps<br />
<br />
But this post isn't really about the lingerie, it's about the body. I've been wearing the Maitreya Lara Body for two months now, and can state that I can recommend the body, with a caveat. That caveat being the lack of fine grained control over the alpha, meaning I can't wear it with some of my mesh items sad to say. One example being the <a href="http://ccslfashionista.blogspot.com/2014/03/just-say-no-to-gacha-and-few-more.html">Steffen Garcia Blair</a>.<br />
<br />
Otherwise it works well, is relatively easy to use, and has good support amongst third parties. <br />
<br />

<br />
As you can see, I'm also wearing the Karin head, with League Luna head appliers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2dEPDmGj5yv1LFP-zgeeLfzRFsbmpIJKKnpWtrRbUJwUiAcH95iQlMNWwKYzfGkgrf_gvOohcLlBZs2DtEgv3PvBliNtpeNsAp6iG0Xx4dGJ6rCnucTxDjeftr0RSXNGk3b7/s1600/cc_erratic_delice_lelutka_head_lara_body_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2dEPDmGj5yv1LFP-zgeeLfzRFsbmpIJKKnpWtrRbUJwUiAcH95iQlMNWwKYzfGkgrf_gvOohcLlBZs2DtEgv3PvBliNtpeNsAp6iG0Xx4dGJ6rCnucTxDjeftr0RSXNGk3b7/s640/cc_erratic_delice_lelutka_head_lara_body_2.png" width="535" /></a></div>
<br />
Perhaps I shouldn't have picked it up, since I was iffy about the demo. But a couple of friends had been urging me to go ALL mesh with a mesh head, and I wanted to see how it looked with actual League appliers on it so I held my nose at the price (L$2500, I consider it a bit overpriced at that level, I think a 1200 to 1500 price would be more reasonable), and bought the thing, and both sets of the Luna appliers.<br />
<br />
Sadly the Luna makeup works much better with blonde hair than red. And you know how I am about my red hair. The lipsticks need a little more work to be more flattering to a redhead. (As do the Erin makeups) And I'm not sure I like the head, there's something about it when I look at it in profile (from the side) that bothers me. From the front it's gorgeous, but the side....I have mixed feelings.<br />
<br />
Also the head had fewer functions than some other ones I have heard of. For example there are only two settings for the mouth, closed and slightly open. Some other heads have animated mouths. Also lash tinting uses a color picker than some standard presets. Another caveat involves the included hairbase applier, there aren't enough colors in it and I don't think my favorite hair makers make a hairbase applier for the head yet.<br />
<br />
Sadly because of my mixed feelings on this head, I cannot categorically recommend this head, or the other Lelutka heads....yet. My feelings may change as further updates are made to the head, I hope.<br />
<br />
Also, besides LDO, it makes me look like my bacon-loving friend RachelAlivia, who also uses this head, especially with the blonde hair.<br />

At first glance it would seem she is just some flighty brainless shopping addict, but first glance would be wrong, Mein Baron. Apparently she was drafted into the Caledon Militia and was promoted to Sergeant. So how does some fashionista get promoted to non-commisioned officer? She likes guns, big ones, especially gatlings.

And when he came after her with a knife, she disarmed him and BROKE the knife with one hand, and said, and I quote: " Hyu hain't a very schmot guy, hyu know " And then she decked him, with one punch.

As Agent #1138 was preparing to leave the Hut with his missive, the double doors opened and he saw the familiar face of Ms. CC the Fashionista, but this time her face was green, she was wearing a nice hat, and she was carrying a portable gatling.<br />

Agent #1138 handed over everything without complaint. What could he do, facing a gatling armed Jäger.<br />
<br />
She then said, "Dat's a schmot guy, Hy tink hyu vill enjoy you retirement hennyvay, much more fun ten servink dat jerk Baron Bombi"<br />
<br />
The Agent thought, "Oh well, alls fair in espionage, and love. Perhaps he could find a large bosomed oiled up vixen for his very own in Zindra." As he left, he turned and watched the Jager head into the Hut.<br />

I saw this Nikita Military dress when Charlemagne Allen TP'd me over to Valentina E. one day. She didn't know I was a fan of "V.E."and I didn't know she was a fan of V.E. either. Anyway, I saw it first and told her she had to have it because it was so Charlemagne-y. I eventually caved in and got it too. There's also an all-black/grey, olive green and navy blue versions.<br />
<br />
I'm wearing it with the Lumae Orsimer Adore skin with the included Leevi ears. <br />
<br />
Makeup used is a red gloss from Roslin Petion's Luxuria brand , with Schadenfreude fangs. I paired it with Lassitude & Ennui's "Flutter" boots. I had to size them up to M to wear them over the Maitreya body. Coincidentally, Luxuria, Lassitude & Ennui and Schadenfreude are all located in the Nouveau region.<br />
<br />
The dress isn't quite perfect with the body, sadly we don't have enough fine grained control over the alpha, but it's not too bad. The hair is Magika Honest with the Paulette hat from Pure Poison.<br />
<br />
The portable Gatling is one of my cherished SL posessions, being made by the late Nix Sands for his XNT brand. He was a True Gentleman in my book and I still miss him. It is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reference is Vulgaria and Baron Bombi (Bomburst in the film and book), who are often used as "generic steampunk villains" in fiction-y blog posts and stories in the Steamlands.<br />

Check the full size version, it's 3840x2114 in size. No, I'm not
running a 4K monitor, I'm using the double size screenshot feature built into SL viewers that actually works on Linux in Firestorm. Yes, Firestorm Long time readers may know that almost always used one of LL's Beta builds, though I've sometimes tested older Firestorm builds on my alt. <br />
<br />
I've complained about the double size screenshot feature not working on Linux intermittently before. At first it didn't work, then it did, then it stopped working...again. Then came <a href="https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-9115">THIS BUG</a>! Which causes any LL SL build AFTER 3.7.28 to fail to start on a 64-bit Linux. ANY 64-bit Linux, not just Fedora. Not only that, but the last build that works on 64-bit Linux has some regressions in regards to textures blurring in and out, and obvious RAM issues. It is seriously crap, even compared to previous SL viewers in the 3.x.x series. Why oh why LL doesn't do a proper 64-bit build is beyond me, Linux users have been complaining about it for years. <br />
<br />
I got so fed up, I grabbed the 64-bit Havok-less Firestorm build and tried that. In the past when I used Firestorm there were typeface issues, for some reason Firestorm didn't use the same ones that LL's builds do and it had legibility issues. But now it used what I considered the proper typeface and everything was hunky dory for the most part, once I put the thing in Viewer 3 mode. Sure there's a few qurks I don't like. For example, sidebar buttons don't work like they do on LL's viewers where a single click brings them to front (Probably a configuration thing), and the "Stand" button is not where it should be (but they know about that one).<br />
<br />
But all that is minor stuff compared to having a build that works, and crashes less often in it's 64-bit form. (The 32 bit Firestorm version has some of the same memory issues the 32-bit LL clients do.)<br />

<br />
Why yes, I WAS inspired by Zelena of the television show, Once Upon a Time, so the cleavage isn't really all that gratuitous. My Friend Gabi immediately recognized I was doing a version of Zelena when I showed her the pictures.<br />
<br />
I cam across this inspiration by lucky chance. I just happened to run across a Zelena video in a search I did some weeks back, I haven't actually watched the show yet, haven't had the time, and well...bandwidth cap. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
After seeing that, I was like, "OH MY GOD! Just look at HER!" And then I started Googling her. Her famous fairytail black gown with the cleavage reminded me of the Black Arts Flora which I'd demo'd but not bought because of alpha issues with my non-mesh body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Back to the SL fashion, I'm wearing the League Erin skin, when I'm non-green. It's my standard skin now, even though It's not quite the perfect skin for me.<br />
<br />
The green skin is the Lumae Orsimer Adore skin with a Luxuria Red Gloss layered over it. "Orsimer" being a reference to the Orcs of the Elder Scrolls game series. The skin DOES come with Maitreya body appliers AND Lelutka head appliers (as well as appliers for other bodies and heads) It also comes with a set of ears as well! I'm also planning on using this skin when I go Jagermonster from Girl Genius.<br />
<br />
The old time-y neo-victorian look comprises the Black arts flora jacket and skirt, which as I said, couldn't actually wear before I started using the Maitreya body. The default alpha when used with my non-mesh body has issues and needs some more work. But with the Lara on the other hand it works very well. This outfit is template based, there ARE other versions of it on the grid. I picked two other colors of it, the red and pinstripe version.<br />
<br />
I'm carrying the Inanna staff from Tekeli-li, which I've had for a while and has a ton of color change options that you change via chat commands, not menus.<br />
<br />
The Empyrean Forge Heritage statement jewelry set I picked up specifically for these looks, but it's the sort of glamorous statement set I'll get good use out of. It is also color change for the gems.<br />
<br />
I'm also wearing Ingenue Laura pumps, which you can't see. The Victorian hat in all black I got with the Chantilly Victorian Gown by Boudoir, just a simply lovely and sexy victorian hat, not even taking into account how great the gown is.<br />
<br />
The modern dress is the Kastle Rock Hilary dress, with Izzies Sheer tights basics, the versatile Hucci Glynco pumps, the same jewelry set and Amacci Amelie hair for both modern and old-timey looks. <br />
<br />
More Zelena! (From Reddit) These two looks are what inspired my modern "wicked witch" look.<br />

The show apparently runs on The Rule of Cool, Ridiculously Cool Clothes, and The Rule of Cleavage. When Cosmopolitan of all things does <a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/tv/a37210/once-upon-a-time-cleavage/">an article about the cleavage</a>, there's a lot of cleavage on the show...and it is glorious. As Everyone Knows, the CC is All About the Cleavage. It is one of my many "CC Rules #1"<br />
<br />
But All of the fashion on the show is fabulous! Modern and Fairytale, which may be why I like the fashion so, since I need both Modern and Old-timey looks in SL. Just look at Regina! (you could easily come close to this with the red jacket version of the Black arts Flora)<br />

<br />
And the hats! The HATS with the CLEAVAGE and the GLAM makeup Squeeeeeee! I need everything Regina wears on the show in SL...now please. Just look at these two modern dresses Regina wears, they are so me. She also reminds me a bit of Megan Mullally's Karen Walker in "Will & Grace", whose style I also adored.<br />

Hurricane Éric approaches.After last year's hurricane hit St. John, I had sworn that I'd be prepared for the next hurricane season. I had put off the upgrades to the Wireless transmitter and generator and we had paid for my laxity with much damage.<br />
<br />
Not this year. I looked over my new equipment in the attic with much joy. It had been late to arrive, some of the components being shipped from far away Caledon with some additional apparatus that was originally of Seraph City origin. I only had just finished the final installations, though it had been ready at half power (still more than last year) last week. But it was worth the expense and time. This hybridized transmitter
ought to be able to reach such far away lands as Cala Mondrago, Babbage,
Caledon, Europa Wulfenbach, Winterfell, perhaps even Bay City, the Blake Sea, or
Neufreistadt.<br />

I decided to temporarily put the operator station near my desk with the telegraph key. <br />
<br />

<br />
That should work well enough, for the time being. As I walked past the clock and barometer, which showed a "change" reading, the telephone rang.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Allo?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Ah, yes, Miss Creeggan of St. John? Weather Bureau here, we've received some reports of heavy tropical storm activity reported via Mondrago, and vessels under way to the south of St. John. So do keep an eye on the sky, that's a good girl. </i></span><br />
<br />
"Merci, M'sieu, will do." I replied to the obvious dolt who didn't know better than to condescend to me.<br />
<br />
As I hung up the phone, the telegraph began chattering away feeding the paper tape and radio began squawking on the St. John Corsairs frequency.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Allo St. John, This is Corsair Capitaine <static>, reporting a très mal storm 'eading Nord. Navigateur thinks landfall will be <static>. S'il vous plaît préparer, repeating land fall in 4 days estimate. If my eyes are right, it looks like a ouragan. <static> if you can hear this, but avec la grâce de Dieu, you will.</static></static></static></i></span><br />
<br />
I rushed to the transmitter and replied:<br />
<br />
"Ms. CC at St John here, transmission recieved, bless you Corsair! 4 days warning! Mon DIEU, 4 Days! Get your ship to safety Capitaine, make port at Cala Mondrago or Half Hitch dock on the Blake."<br />
<br />
The Capitaine replied: <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Je obéis mon châtelaine</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> </i></span>I headed outside to look at the sky. It was beautiful, but soon wouldn't be. 4 Days, Blessed Be.<br /><br />

I headed back inside to the desk to check the list of this years Hurricane names, ah, this one would be "Éric", with the accent mark. Time to send some messages out, THIS time it would do some REAL good... 4 DAYS warning, thank the Goddess.<br />

<br />I then realized that I might make good use of that air raid Siren I picked up on the Iron Cloud. Sandbags, I'm going to need more sandbags. I returned to the Telephone and key and spread the word to the good people of St. John. We'll see how tough that Hurricane will be when we can prepare.<br />

A japanese themed party. Being the Steamlands, you just know that everyone is going to dress VERY well (which everyone commented on, even though I expect it):<br />

That's the only group picture I took, I crashed a couple of times and textures sometimes went blurry on me. (stupid 3.7.28 compatibility client, the 3.8.X+ series crashes on start on 64 bit Linuxes)<br />
<br />
Wasn't going to miss this. I decided to go Jager and I'm glad I did, because I was the only Jager there! And what's a Wulfenbach party without a Jager? Even bought a new skin with Maitreya appliers (Lumae Orsimer Adore from the We Heart Roleplay event) just for the party! It even came with EARS. It's going to be a good skin when I do a Zelena (from once upon a time) look. I just bought the PERFECT outfit for that.<br /><br />
To my right is in the black/gold is Dean "Double Secret Probation" Phrynne of Caledon Oxbridge. The couple with the fellow with the white hair dancing with the pretty lady are the Baron and Baronin themselves. The Gorgeous blonde in Pink is the Lady Skye. Who quite frankly makes me look like chopped liver fashion wise most of the time. SHE is the one who should be fashion blogging. The Eldemars are there in back next to the Tiny Eladrienne Laval. In blue in front of me is Mari Moonbeam. Wulfi and Lady Sumoku are in the far right corner, they were the party organizers and hostesses. The build was VERY nice and several people wanted to steal it.<br />
<br />
At the end of the party I just had to take a pic of Babbage Urchins Stormy Stillwater and Satu Moreau, where were freaking adorable. I just wanted to take them home and give them wuv. Say it with me now....Awwwwwww.<br />
