Oh my god! It’s wonderful to have my internet back again for how ever long I can keep it. Well I had this little number in my closet for quite a while from the Emery sale but never got a chance to blog on it. I have to admit that my favorite piece of the entire outfit is the DeLa trench coat. I knew the minute I saw it when I was browsing Xstreet that I had to use it in styling an outfit. The texturing is so well done that it looks soft, supple and luxurious. I’ve always been a fan of highwaisted pants- jeans or slacks or otherwise. Something about the fit always slims everything down and shows off the stomach to it’s best advantage even if you have 0 body fat. [laughs] I was so lucky to find this skin in the Fashion Freaks Hunt and am really glad that I decided to give it a look since the name alone didn’t appeal to me. It just goes to show you how you shouldn’t ever judge a book by it’s cover or a Hunt by it’s name. I have some more articles coming up featuring a few interesting pieces from the FF Hunt and Fall Seasons Hunt, which has a lot of talented Japanese designers!

Well second life is up to it’s old tricks of implementing new “improvements” to our sl experiences. What’s it this time? Have they decided to just dump all the adult triple X griders off the map into some alternate grid or universe like they do with youngsters on the teen grid? Nope! They’ve chosen to introduce to wonderful and creative world of Display Names. Can you just hear the sarcasm dripping like honey? I’m personally on the fence about this new “improvement” until i see how it would affect our lives so I’m cautious. Now if you’re scratching your head and wondering what the heck I’m talking about then you need to get better informed and I’m happy to help you out in that department. You can also view the video created by Torley Linden that goes on to explain how the Display Name feature can be used.

The Display Name feature basically allows you to change your name to anything that you wish up to 31 characters for whatever reason that you choose- whether it be to change or hyphenate your name after marriage, role playing, business purposes, or just on a whim. The only draw back- maybe they’re doing this to cut back on information overload- is that you can only change it once a week as I understand it. Now older residents are probably trying to pick their jaw off the floor and also wonder how that will work overall for the new and old. Well let me do a bit of explaining. The new residents will go about the registration and choose a username (which for older residents is the name that you signed on with (first name.last name)) and then when they log in they can create their display names. You won’t need your unique last name for your username so it’s entirely optional. Your display name will be shown in chat, IMs, build menus, overhead tag above your username, in the profile, during transactions, in Friends lists, and the CHOOSE RESIDENT window (also used when reporting abuse).

Some may be wondering why in the world the Lindens decided to go with this so called “improvement” now and some may already have their own thoughts on this particular subject. Their official reason was that “selecting a Second Life name is one of the biggest hurdles in the new Resident registration process” and is the most common reason that they abandon the entire registration. Long time residents are saying that this is Linden’s way of applying “correction tape” to the demand and request of being able to change your second life names. Maybe it’s a bit of both in the overall scheme of things- who knows? This nifty new feature will be implemented after careful and extensive testing on the test grid Aditi before it’s released and officially introduced to the Beta Grid for the 2.0 Beta Viewer. What does this mean for those that are running an older version of the official second life viewer or even the third party viewers? To put it simply nothing really changes and you won’t even see the display names so you may not even have to worry about it. Third party viewers are subject to change when the creators and scripters of that viewer decides to put that feature in so it has no bearing on the official 2.0 viewer and it’s changes. Also when logging into second life on the 2.0 viewer you can still use your second life name (user name) with the period or space. An expample would be if your name is Laura Lilibrook then you would enter Laura.Lilibrook or Laura Lilibrook to log in.

For business owners this could potentially be something great to use or something even more confusing depending on the way that you think and function. In the edit tab or the build menu when you click on your creations it will show both your display name and your username, which wouldn’t be visible if you used all 31 characters for your display name.

Now I personally have a few issues with this and I’m sure it’s probably been on the minds of a few others as well. Here’s what I’m thinking…

They say that it will be easier to find friends and recognize them with display names but I have to question them on this one. If you’re allowed to change it once per week after the launch- although while it’s still in beta you can change it multiple times- then what if they choose something entirely different from their user name- a username that you have identified with this person for all your time of knowing them? And what if they change it every single week to something different? How does that make it easier to find them or recognize them if you’re looking in your friends list? Sure you could scroll or hover your mouse over their name or check profiles to see their usernames but doesn’t it make it more troublesome, not less? I like being able to find my friends on my list at a simple glance with a hit of my tab button. Maybe you should think about this LL because I’m not sure where you got the idea it would be easier. Also what does this do for businesses or careers? If a model changes their name every week how do we identify her/him- with their username or their display names?

What if I find someone walking around with my exact name as their display name? They can chat with others, use that name for business purposes perhaps and even impersonate someone me or someone else! While it’s true that you can quickly find out of they are legitimately the person their display name claims them to be by checking their profile or inspecting them to find their usernames who wants to go through all this trouble and have to wonder all the time whether they are the real deal or not? This also makes me wonder about whether we will continue to keep and retain the unique identities that we have created and cultivated in second life.

Now there are some cool things that come with the name change that I can’t deny or overlook so I won’t even try.

You’ve probably seen so many people strutting their stuff with those huge titlers and sometimes it just made you go blind looking at them or confused you with all the text that blended in with the background or their bodies. Titlers are used for many purposes whether it’s just to be goofy and announce a preference, a nickname, or for business and advertising purposes. The display name feature eliminates titlers in a way and cuts down on some lag I suppose. So if you owned a business you could change your display name to Kookie Crumble of Kookie-Land Designs for example. Which is a nifty feature to have on hand although I wouldn’t say it was so dire in need that the display name feature should be created just for this.

Let’s say that when you first registered you thought it would be really cool to have a goofy and weird name but as you grew in second life you realized that it wasn’t so great to have a name with 20 characters or all numbers but you couldn’t change it. With the display name feature that is taken care of because while your username may remain all numbers you can quickly change it to whatever your heart desires.

What if you get married and want to take on the last name of your new beaux of the week like you would do in real life- for some people? The display name feature takes care of this as well and you’re quickly back in business with a new last name to reflect your new relationship and connections.

Linden Labs is working on putting in any feature that would make the display name feature convienient for the residents of second life to retain their current identities and to lose them if they so choose by not displaying them. While I’m not jumping for joy at this new feature and still have a few doubts on it I guess I’ll just have to wait and see how it will effect my overall quality of SLife. I personally use Emerald Viewer and unless they decide to change with the times like the 2.0 viewer I doubt that anything will be changing for me since I won’t even see the display names. But it’s something to keep in mind the next time you log in.

Want to have your voice heard then maybe you should vote on this new impending improvement launch. You can add your voice Here.

I’ve also included the video tutorial and introduction to the Display Name feature created by Torley Linden. Enjoy and let us know what you think or feel about this!

Okay so I took a trip on down to the Dressing room yesterday and I have to say that I fell in love with nearly everything there- especially the skins. If you don’t know what the Dressing Room is, it’s a great little place that provides quality discounted items from top brand named designers. The skins I bought were around 70L or so and I couldn’t be happier. Who says you can’t look good without pinching your wallet until it whimpers??! Certainly not I! I also found this wonderful LeeZu Gown on the hunt as well as an awesome long coat that just made me feel like a queen. I can’t even forget to mention the goodies that I found at Vinyl Cafe which provides great discount items along with freebies for group members. You need to stop on by there to get a pair of these great shoes and other things!

I found a ton of great goodies lately through the Platinum Hunt and also at the dressing room so you’ll be seeing a lot of posts coming up in rapid succession this week. Keep an eye out because I’ll also be posting a few great finds from the Shoe Fair 2010. Men, I truly truly haven’t forgotten about you. I have something great planned in the works that will allow you to gain exposure for your amazing styling abilities and help other men that need some help with styling as well. So stay tuned! Now if you haven’t heard about the Platinum Hunt, I’m here to get you informed! It’s a grid-wide hunt with some of the hottest brand name designers that have put an item up for the hunt that is over 400L! The hunt items aren’t free (10L) but that’s still something to get excited about. I found some amazing skins and you’ll see my absolute new favorite below. A tip to all you SL hunters out there for the PH: Items are usually within 40 meters of the landing point and unless they specify, it’s going to be on the same level that you land- so no stairs! I’ll have another tip coming up that may help although this hunt was so easy that even I could do it and I really do suck at figuring out hints.

This elf skin was found from Mynerva on the PH and it comes with ears, eyes, eyeliner and several versions of this skin that include the eye band and without. I love the cleavage because one of the things I always lamented about being a model was I lost some of my curves but nice cleavage enhancers bring it all back. Of course as long as it doesn’t look too cartoony.

Now this outfit I didn’t find on the hunt but it’s still blog worthy today because I found these outfits from Bare Rose- one of my all-time favorite stores in second life. I had these outfits for quite a while in my inventory but never got a chance to play with them until a few days ago. Boy I’m glad I found the time!

I’ve found second life can be many things to many people such as entertainment, a getaway, escape, business, a place to create a family and live, learn, laugh, love and make lasting relationships. Throughout all of this living and experiencing all that second life has to offer for those of us in the fashion industry we know that it’s essential to be able to set yourself apart, to be noticed and be different. If you looked like the next person around how could someone look at your avatar and say- there she is! There are several ways to help this along but I’m here to just give you a few tips that will hopefully change the quality of your life and how people recognize YOU!

One of the most important things you should do is set yourself away from the in-crowd. There are tons of great skin out there and top quality and poplar designers but if everyone is getting the same skin and look then how does that make you different? How does that make you unique? The quality of that skin just went down because you’ve conformed to some cookie cutter image that was set out for you. We see skins on ads and some of us try to look exactly like those models in those ads with the same skin and clothing. Bad idea here chickadees. The point is to do something different and make it your own so modify your shape to something where you can look at it and say- yes this is different, unique and beautiful. My advice would be to stay away from store bought shapes altogether because you never know who else could have that shape. If you are dead set on buying one then try to find one that is modifiable so that you can tweak parts of it to make it your own.

Lately designers are really into sets or giving outfits in their packages. While this is wildly convenient it can also work against you. I know I’ve probably said it a ton of times in my previous posts here and there or hinted toward this but it’s true and it bears repeating until it’s seared into your brains. Don’t try to copy a fashion icon or whatever you see that makes you think it’s the “it” thing. That will only make you a follower and to be like that person in the greatest sense of the term is to create a look and style all your own whether it be sophisticated, conservative, eclectic, casual, comfortable, sexy, quirky, or offbeat. Does it take more time and effort to do so? You bet your bottom dollar it does! But it’s going that extra step and really taking some time and effort that sets you apart. Do you think all those top named stylists are where they are and WHO they are because they copied a fashion icon? Nope! They worked their butts off to be different and seen as something apart from the millions of others that call themselves stylists. It’s not as effortless as they make it look and if they made it look like they worked at it they weren’t doing their jobs properly. When you can do something well and make it look like you’re not even trying then you’ve fooled the masses and succeeded in your goal!

Now do I know ALL there is to know about fashion? Heck no! Does anyone? Umm that would be a resounding NO. Fashion is always changing because the whim and opinion of the masses are always changing so the day that someone knows everything about fashion is the day that it’s no longer interesting and unique. This is why I didn’t give any set measurements and points but more of a general outlining that will help you become unique because you never know when those things will change. But I know through the years of what I observed and they seem to stay true no matter the decade. So if you don’t want to take my advice then look at fashion over the years and take a look at the well known stylists, models, or fashion icons and see what they’ve had to say on their style or how they dressed. Did they follow the parade or did they set out to the beat of their own drummer, confident in themselves and their skills? I’ll let you be the judge of that my friends!

I recently had the awesome chance to sit down and have a chat with a pretty cool designer, GryphElyse, who specializes in comfortable high quality clothing for women and also has selections for men as well. I was lucky enough that she replied to my letter of inquiry for an interview after she finally managed to get her shop up and situated. It was a pretty interesting conversation and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe that you all will to! She gave some insight to her designs, lines, what it took to get where she is, and how she got started. She also gave some great tips to aspiring designers! Be sure to check this out and run, don’t walk, to her store to take a peek at her latest designs! You can check out here store HERE. You can also check out a sneak peek of some of her designs after the interview. Enjoy!

KaylenaMaria Destiny: Thank you again for agreeing to do the interview with me. I really appreciate it. -smile-
GryphElyse Wingtips: I really appreciate you taking the time to interview me! =D
GryphElyse Wingtips: I am always enthusiastic to let people know about my designs >.>
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Well from what I saw they are really nice. =D
GryphElyse Wingtips: Aww, thank you <3 *blushes*
KaylenaMaria Destiny: What made you start designing?
GryphElyse Wingtips: Hmm that actually goes back to before Second Life
GryphElyse Wingtips: If you’ve ever heard of There, it’s a platform that was sort of SL’s runty little sibling.It’s long closed now, but that was where I started out.But my motivations There were really the same as here. I saw a lot of clothing that I didn’t want to wear xD so I decided to make some for myself.
KaylenaMaria Destiny laughs, “That’s usually the way of it I think. Hehe.Which I can completely understand. I’d be designing clothes myself if I had the patience. Hehe”
GryphElyse Wingtips: My very first design was a pair of boots – the Stomp boots, actually – they’re quite old now, but they’re in the Legacy section for sentimental purposes… all I could find for women were stilleto heels and bling… that was really how it went for a long time, was just me trying to fill the gap of clothes for SL residents who didn’t want to look… how do I say this tactfully… *cough* streetwalker-ish.
KaylenaMaria Destiny grins, “I hear you on that one.”
GryphElyse Wingtips: I’d still like to think my stuff is pretty sexy ^^; but that remains one of my main motivations, is to stay classy
GryphElyse Wingtips: …am I getting ahead of myself? >.>’
GryphElyse Wingtips: you were probably going to ask that xD
KaylenaMaria Destiny: LOL
KaylenaMaria Destiny: It’s fine. =)
KaylenaMaria Destiny: I love hearing about the inspiration behind a designers line and whatnot.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: I think that it can be inspiring to others that have the same view.
GryphElyse Wingtips: :3 I have one other motivation that’s very related to that.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Oh? do tell! :3
GryphElyse Wingtips: Well of course several other motivations including paying the rent xD but what I was referring to was that I want to make something a little different, something you can’t find if you just step into a random botique.
GryphElyse Wingtips: And of course that’s related to the, excuse my tactless…. I call them “Slutwear Emporia”… they’re everywhere.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: That’s certainly true from what I’ve seen. Your designs seem to have a bit of an outdoorsy and comfortable feel but they certainly don’t put aside femininity!
GryphElyse Wingtips: Thank you! That’s what I was going for. <3 Well not always outdoorsy, that’s actually just the Altitude series
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Ah I see. So you have more themes available for different styles?
GryphElyse Wingtips: Yus, one of my favorite series that’s just starting is the Dawn collection…. inspiration from all over Asia… China, Thailand, India… that’s in the works, but you can see it in the Arum tunic.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: That sounds great! I’ve always loved cultural influences. They can bring something new to outfits :3
GryphElyse Wingtips: Yus! I’ve always been very interested in Asia, I even visited Thailand once… that’s where I got some of my inspiration for that series.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Oh now I’ll definitely have to check that line out! :3
GryphElyse Wingtips: There’s going to be silk involved, Mandarin collars, frog buttons… and I’m planning some sculpted harem pants!
GryphElyse Wingtips: But that’s not out yet so shhh >.>
KaylenaMaria Destiny grins, “Hehe. Your secret is safe. lol!”
GryphElyse Wingtips: Except to your readers! xD
GryphElyse Wingtips: *waves to everyone*
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Yup and I’m sure it will have them anticipating and salivating for it to come. haha
GryphElyse Wingtips: Exactly *wink*
KaylenaMaria Destiny: So I’m always wondering, did you come in with a graphical background to become a designer?
GryphElyse Wingtips: Yes, actually
GryphElyse Wingtips: I have a ton of RL art background
GryphElyse Wingtips: Even went to an arts-focused high school GryphElyse Wingtips: I love drawing… I have a few comics that I started… people are my favorite things to draw
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Oh cool. Your clothing really has an air of quality that I’ve seen takes some skill and knowledge behind it.
GryphElyse Wingtips: It was designing that really got me into digital art, though… I learned Photoshop as I went along.
GryphElyse Wingtips: Oh, thank you.
GryphElyse Wingtips: It’s taken me a long, long time to build up these mad skillz. xD But yes, I would definitely say that the RL art background has been invaluable. Knowing how to shade, knowing what cloth folds look like, etc.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: I say that because I tried to design clothing with no knowledge or previous experience and well……they didn’t turn out so great. lol! So I definitely say kudos to you!
GryphElyse Wingtips: Awww, don’t feel bad xD
GryphElyse Wingtips: Everyone has different talents!
KaylenaMaria Destiny: lol. Oh I don’t anymore. My job now is to get designers’s names out there and help spread the fashion. :3
GryphElyse Wingtips: And you’re fantastic at that.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Thank you! I do try. *tries to look modest but fails miserably* lmao!
GryphElyse Wingtips: Haha Speaking of modest, have you heard the news? I’ve got the best jeans in SL. It’s official. *polishes fingernails modestly*
KaylenaMaria Destiny laughs, “Oh I can believe it! And you have clothing for men as well right?”
GryphElyse Wingtips: *nod* I try to do something for guys as often as possible, cause I know how hard it is to find decent stuff for men. All my jeans are unisex, there’s that.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: God yes. I try shopping for my male friends and want to tear my hair out. lol
GryphElyse Wingtips: And as often as I can I make a male version of a release. I can’t do it for most stuff, like this Theta top, but I do have a couple items planned that are just for guys.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Oh that’s a part of your line? I was admiring it. Gonna have to go pick one up. hehe
GryphElyse Wingtips: Everything I’m wearing is from my store ^^; Even the boots, as you’ll note their lack of stilletto heel
KaylenaMaria Destiny: better for not tripping and breaking your ankles in. *laughs*
GryphElyse Wingtips: and easier to sculpt *grin* that was my first sculpt, I was just learning the program. They came out awesome though. xD I tend to be kind of a perfectionist when it comes to… well, everything.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: So yo’d say it was easy to get into sculpting?
GryphElyse Wingtips: Uhhhh that would be a NO. xD
KaylenaMaria Destiny laughs
GryphElyse Wingtips: It still takes me days to make a sculpt. This knot on my shoulder, for example… tricky as heck.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Well they all came out beautifully I can say that
GryphElyse Wingtips: Really my fault; if I were less of a perfectionist things would be much easier. I won’t upload something if I haven’t spent at least 20 hours tweaking >.<’ it makes for slower releases, but I consider it worth it for the little quality things like matched seams
KaylenaMaria Destiny: But being a perfectionist just brings the quality of your work to a higher level and people recognize that.
GryphElyse Wingtips: I hope they do! :3
KaylenaMaria Destiny: I know I have. Now I want to go get a pair of those shoes. lol!
GryphElyse Wingtips: they’re boots akshly… let me show you the rest. These are the Altitude boots, from *dingdingding* the Altitude series xD They’re from a few months ago… big customer favorite. Kind of a wintry look.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Wow. I didn’t even notice that! They looked like normal shoes. That’s clever and they look great. Makes me want to go somewhere snowy to wear them. lolz
GryphElyse Wingtips: You can’t see the laces too well, but I was thinking of eskimo moccasins xD
GryphElyse Wingtips: I spent hours getting the leather to look raw and worn and natural
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Yeah. That was the feel I got from them too. ^_^
KaylenaMaria Destiny: You succeeded!
GryphElyse Wingtips: Yay!
GryphElyse Wingtips: I think they go great with jeans *nudge nudge wink wink* especially jeans with a Seat Shaper >.>
KaylenaMaria Destiny: When I saw the photos you sent me I really marveled over them because while some would say they are simple I’ve seen enough clothing to recognize the workmanship. The textures looked really soft and natural
KaylenaMaria Destiny: *laughs*
GryphElyse Wingtips: Nothing in my store is simple xD
GryphElyse Wingtips: well, not in terms of how much time goes into it
KaylenaMaria Destiny: And I know there are plenty of women (and men) that enjoy dressing down in SL but want to keep their style. That looks like you’re not even trying.
GryphElyse Wingtips: Oh, yeah… and want to stay classy but still wear something that is unique, maybe a little unusual, attracts a second glance…. that’s what I’m going for
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Well you certainly did at that. I was actually going to inspect you to see wheree it came from but didn’t want to look obvious with my edit beams tagging you. LOL XD
GryphElyse Wingtips: O nooooes I’m being molestered by particle beams *writhes*
KaylenaMaria Destiny: lmfao!!!
GryphElyse Wingtips: Just a shoutout to anyone reading this… if you don’t like that crack in your SL av mesh, seriously, check out the jeans… you’ve never seen jeans like this >:D
KaylenaMaria Destiny: lol!!!!!!
GryphElyse Wingtips: *forcefully shuts off advertising mode* Shush, Gryph!
KaylenaMaria Destiny: you’re a riot! lol
GryphElyse Wingtips: I gotta pay the rent! xD
KaylenaMaria Destiny: oh trust me I know that feeling. XD
GryphElyse Wingtips: ;_; Still trying to get a big enough customer base to break even on my massive rent
GryphElyse Wingtips: but my shop is oh so pretty D:
GryphElyse Wingtips: *waves arms wildly* I’m over heeeere! Throw money at meeee!
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Well I’m going to see what I can do about getting more to ya.
GryphElyse Wingtips: …you can edit that out >.>
KaylenaMaria Destiny: lmfao!!!
GryphElyse Wingtips: xD Thank youuu <3
GryphElyse Wingtips: I’m also saving up for a scripted vendor and gift card system…. I know the current system is a tad annoying
GryphElyse Wingtips: Still got $5k to go, but it’ll be worth it if I can make things easier for my customers <3
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Well they do say improvements take time and have to start with what you have. ^_^
GryphElyse Wingtips: Indeed!
KaylenaMaria Destiny: o.o wow being a designer is expensive
GryphElyse Wingtips: I started SL without a single cent >.>
GryphElyse Wingtips: I still haven’t bought any L$ in the entire time I’m here, I’m making it a game to see how long I can go.
GryphElyse Wingtips: (I’m a few years old now)
GryphElyse Wingtips: I camped to get enough money for my first texture uploads xDDD
KaylenaMaria Destiny: WOW
KaylenaMaria Destiny: I’m doubly impressed now
GryphElyse Wingtips: Xstreet SL has been a major help for me, although it doesn’t have my latest stuff…. I’m looking forward to the Marketplace
GryphElyse Wingtips: as soon as they take it out of beta… *grumble grr missing features argh*
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Well that’s an inspiration to anyone thinking they need to bring in big bucks from outside SL. It can be done.
KaylenaMaria Destiny: lol
GryphElyse Wingtips: Haha… oh yeah… but those people should know that it took me two years to even get enough L$ to rent a tiny parcel!
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Hey rome wasn’t built in a day. lol
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Do you have a website perchance?
GryphElyse Wingtips: Yups! Gryphon Wings Home Page
KaylenaMaria Destiny: oh i love wix. XD
GryphElyse Wingtips: It’s a lovely site…. I even have a page with a “sketchbook” of my designer process and some ideas I have for upcoming designs
GryphElyse Wingtips: I love showing people my process
GryphElyse Wingtips: I’m just so excited whenever I start a new design I want to share it xD
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Oh and I’m sure that they find that invaluable…especially aspiring designers and those interested in the thought behind the work
GryphElyse Wingtips: *nod* I try to take time to give tips to aspiring designers
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Do you have any last minute tips for them?
GryphElyse Wingtips: I’m also conducting a survey over a period of time, whenver I can find a successful designer, I have a notecard that asks things about their process… getting tips for me and for all the other up-and-comings… gonna put it on my site someday….
GryphElyse Wingtips: oh! Eheh sorry got carried away
GryphElyse Wingtips: Hmmm…. the most important thing when you design is that you understand shading and clothing folds… so I advise designers to study RL art… maybe do some figure drawing… learn to draw the clothes first, then paint them on an avatar
GryphElyse Wingtips: you don’t have to know proportions or anything, it’s all about shading and knowing how light falls
KaylenaMaria Destiny: Do you use any special tools? I know some people like to use tablets when they draw in pc programs
GryphElyse Wingtips: Oh heck yeah, I would not be able to LIVE without my Wacom tablet… I’m using a really fancy Intuos4, but you can get by with a $50 Graphire or Bamboo Fun tablet as long as it’s pressure sensitive
GryphElyse Wingtips: My dream one day is that I’ll be big, like people-know-my-name Big, like Maitreya or League… because then I’ll be able to afford a Cintiq tablet where you draw right on the screen
KaylenaMaria Destiny: That’s probably best for those serious designers. You have to have the right tools to create great work.

GryphElyse Wingtips: Yup, and patience out the wazoo xD
KaylenaMaria Destiny: I hear ya!

KaylenaMaria Destiny: Thank you again so much for interviewing with me. I’m sure MPI readers and models will love your designs! and you’ll have more customers than you can handle!

So I was in a bit of a quirky mood today and played a bit with some things I had in my inventory. If you’re ever looking to work on your style or create entirely new looks I would advise one and all to take a look at their own closets and use their imagination. It’s amazing how someone I once looked in my 20K filled inventory and complained about having nothing to wear when half of the things I had, I hadn’t even bothered to open after purchasing so it seemed like Christmas time when I finally did.

I was recently organizing a fashion show where part of the theme was Bohemian fashions and it gave me some inspirations to play with a bit. I wanted to wear something fun, colorful and a little offbeat and I think I found my goal.

They have a bit of everything and I swear when I step in there I feel like I’ve gone to fashion wonderland but then I love a bit of drama in my outfits to add a bit of flair to a design!

I have discovered a new passion for Agnes Finney – My Precious designs and I am here to share it with the world. Not only does this designer have great quality discounted items for group members – as shown below (25L) but all of her gowns are of the highest quality- if a little more pricey than what I would prefer. I had gotten this dress after I scouted the archives of some of my groups on new releases and gifts and am just now getting around to opening the package and really admiring the work.

The dress is cute, playful and flirty and NOT pink! [laughs] I loved that it had a vibe of spice to it but I wanted to go a girly route and played it up with a sweet hairstyle from Magicka- one of my favorite hair designers in Second Life. I didn’t want to go with heavy jewelry or really take away from the overall outfit so I decided to just accessorize with a necklace and a nice silver detailed clutch. All in all- it was a wonderful find and I would recommend all the readers out there to go check out this designer and join the group to get some great finds if it is your style.

Dress: My Precious – Agnes June (under 25L for group members)
Hair: Magicka – Ribbonetta
Skin: Atomic Bomb – Rocking Friday (under 100L fatpack – gift)
Shoes: Kalnins – Dragoness
Purse: Sculpties Up In Here – TE Black/Silver Snakeskin Purse (xstreet)
Necklace: (Dahlinks) – Purple Crystal and Rubber Choker

SALE ALERT: My Precious has many discounted or on sale items for group members. Joining is free and easy to do!

[Races in at the last minute with her awesome column] Well I made it again at last. I was just shopping around today for a new outfit- something that screamed sensual sex kitten but one that knows how to take care of business and I found the perfect outfit- all under 125L! As a model and a shopaholic I’m constantly on a budget and I know how a lot of women out there are as well- there are just too many great things out there that we all have to get but we only have a limited amount in our bank account. Who says we can’t be thrifty and stylish at the same time? [Thumbs through the fashionista bible before looking to you and getting silence] That’s what I thought so I took the liberty of blogging out on this cute little outfit that I found on Xstreet.

I’m the first that will admit that while I love a bargain, buying ready made outfits can really sometimes make us lazy as models but when you’re on the go and really just want to get something quick and cute this is a great way to do it while saving up on those lindens! The outfit comes complete with dress, gloves and accessories (came also with a pair of bracelets for each arm but I decided to go without). I was lucky enough to find this great updo from :KC: for 15L (30L for fatpacks) and the sale is still going on so be sure to check it out asap!

Outfit: DivaLicious – Urban Safari (Xstreet for 99L – dress, earrings, gloves & bracelets)
Hair: Kitsune Couture – Hairpin (onyx)
Shoes: Orage Creations – Melanie (black leather)
Skin: Changing Facez : Joy – E

SALE ALERT: Kitsune Couture is holding a sale on ALL hair at the moment for 15L per pack and 30L for fat packs. You don’t know when this sale is ending so get there fast to take a peek! They have some amazing quality hairstyles!

I was in a very sweet mood today and decided go in search of something that would match my insides to my outsides and found the perfect little number in this interesting outfit. One of my hobbies as a fashion minded female is to browse Xstreet’s popular items list on occasion. You’d be surprised with the amount of things you can discover at such great and reasonable prices. Many designers have promo’s that you can take advantage of and I regularly do with the building ones. But I came across this dress I just had to have it and it was only 50L! Can you believe it?

The outfit- Dark Starlite by Gothica – comes with the dress, stockings and a pair of funky heels with or without the designs but I decided to go with this cute and sassy chunky heels with the polka dot bow and carried that through with a lovely short cut hairstyle from :69:- one of my new favorite hair designers! I capped it off with some hot skull and danger necklace and bracelet from :Fusion:. Before vive9 went retired I had the chance to teleport over and grab some of their awesome gifts they had as a farewell but never got a chance to really use it. I fell in absolute skin-love when I saw this gem revealed and just thank my lucky stars I was able to get this when it was free and not in the thousands. The running make-up on the right eye really adds something special to the overall look.

Skin: Lumidee – Vive9 (out of stock)
Hair: Babydoll – :69:
Outfit: Dark Starlite – Gothica (xstreet)
Heels: Chunky Latex Black Pumps w/bow – Lutricia’s Luxuries (xstreet)

I know that I’ve been terribly neglectful of our counterparts out there which I deeply apologize for. It seems that fashion is more geared and aimed toward women consumers rather than males and that’s a shame since I know plenty of men that take a lot of time to look good and keep up with trends and stay in style. Fashion is not exclusive to females and I’m here to help those men that may not really have that mindset for fashion or the time to take lessons but really do want to look good. Here are some tips for the average man to keep in mind when shopping for clothes or when getting dressed to begin their day instead of being lazy and staying in the same outfit for weeks on end (yes I’ve seen it and it was so sad).

1. Fit, fit, fit!

Most men will go to extremes- either too tight or too big. If you find clothes that hug your curves but doesn’t squeeze the life out of you then you’ll see a dramatic improvement. If you wear your clothes too tightly then you’ll give off the image that you’re trying to be some tough guy to show off your body way to hard and that annoys everyone around you. If you have clothes that are way too big then it just makes you look sloppy and unkept- not a good way to present yourself.

2. Keep it simple.

You want to look great but that doesn’t mean you have to overdo it to get that effect. That means don’t wear more than two or three pieces of jewelry at one time. Bling is NOT hot and just looks blinding and is for noobs. Layering is great but too much makes you look heavy and the outfit too busy. You can spice up your outfit wearing a striped button down shirt slightly open and a dark blazer with a hat or messy bed-head. A little can go a long way for males.

3. Change your perception of casual.

Times are changing and men are coming to understand the power of casual fashion and how to truly master it so why can’t you? Casual no longer means dressing down in the conventional sense. So take advantage of layering your outfits- add a jacket, sweater, or vest! Take a chance and mix up your wardrobe. There are no truly set in stone rules to fashion but it’s only judged by your fashion eye! Accents are in now so take it to the next level! You can wear almost all black but throw in a hot new color like red, white, blue, etc.

4. Never go shopping by yourself.

You can never really trust a sales associate because they are paid to make you buy the clothing so it’s always good to have a second opinion although you never want it to go against your gut instinct. Ask them about discounts or what will go on sale and before you go shopping be sure to take a look at what is already in your closet and go from there! And let’s not forget accessories as they can add just as much paunch for a guy as any female!

5. Never underestimate supporting pieces and the power of details.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of a scarf or a great watch and hat! They can bring that outfit to the next level!

6. Invest in some quality shoes.

Now I can tell you from experience and from my own point of view as a woman that one of the very first things I notice about a man are what he’s wearing on his feet. You can tell a lot about a guy when you look at his shoes. If you go cheap and low quality it shows that you aren’t really investing that much in your appearance but if you invest in one or two really great looking shoes it really can impress!

7. Brand names don’t mean jack.

Brand names are great if you want to name drop but in the thick of things all they mean is taking more money out of your wallet. Your clothing should suit you, not the other way around and there are tons of clothing out there that look great that cost way less. Also if you’re just buying the brand for no other reason than because you can then it’ll probably end up showing that you are trying way to hard.

8. And undershirt is just that- and undershirt.

One of the things that always annoys me in second life and in real life is seeing a man wear an undershirt like it was any other button down shirt or something. Undershirts are meant to be worn under your clothes to absorb sweat. Wearing an undershirt might be comfortable but it is not cute to wear along with just some jeans no matter how much it shows off your muscles.

You’d be surprised at the type of fashion mistakes that most women make and at how easily they can be prevented but we’re here to help you with that and to get you back on the right track. Some of these tips can help with your real life fashion problems as well and I hope that they are of some use to you in the future. Enjoy!

1. People rely way too much on the fashion media.
I’m one of the first people to say that I love to read all the fashion magazines and soak it all up like a sponge but there are times when you see something that looks fabulous on various celebrities and models and you go- “I just have to have that!” You’d think that logic would work and make sense when put into reality and practice but it rarely does. When you see those celebrity fashions they are something to aspire to not copy-cat. You could end up getting something completely overpriced and then having it not fit you correctly or look completely wrong with your shape, body type or face. There are many ways to make a style work for you but you need to make it your own by putting your own spin on it. A square neckline and empire waist may work for some but maybe you’ll need to go with a V-neck and an A-line outfit. It all depends on your body and personal style. So enjoy the magazines and the new trends but let it inspire you to be creative on your own and become your own fashionista- not a fashion victim.

2. Buying clothes that don’t fit.
You would think that this is an obvious one but many people overlook the other aspects of this. There is much more to fit than just being able to zip the darn thing up or have it look decent on you. The length of your sleeves or hem can make or break an outfit so take a look at the following tips. (Note: I’ve added a few other tips that may be helpful in your real life as well. -smile-)

• Long sleeved garments should hit just below the wrist bone with just a little ease
  
• A button-front blouse should never gap open at the bustline. If the garment seems to fit, the problem may just be wide-spaced buttons. Attach a snap.
• A slim or pencil skirt should fit without bunching or wrinkling up. Do the sit-down test.
• Hemline correction — skirts should be completely straight all the way around. If that’s not the case (because of hips or tummy) have it rehemmed.
• Tailored pants should fall to the top of your instep.
• Long, formal gowns should fall to about an inch off the ground.

3.Creating a mish-mash wardrobe by buying odds and ends.
Buying up odds and ends on sale may seem to make sense. After all, the easy availability of off-price merchandise has lulled us into thinking that minor purchases won’t blow our wardrobe concept or budget. It’s really the little pieces that can completely destroy an outfit if you’re not careful. Take a look at the below tips on how to get on the right track.

• Stop impulse buying. Every L$ 10 mistake you would have picked up in a bargain bin goes to a really great wardrobe.
• In the first step of cleaning out your closet, eliminate everything that doesn’t fit or that you haven’t worn in a year.
• A few weeks later, go back and get rid of all the stuff you fudged on the first time around.
• With what’s left, begin identifying a theme to your wardrobe, relying on favorite looks, colors and lifestyle pieces.
• Decide on three colors that either match or will coordinate with what you own and buy only those three colors for apparel.
• Establish a workable budget.
• Make a list of all the items you need in your wardrobe.
• Set aside an hour of time each week or day to shop – online or off.
• Avoid trendy items.
• Buy clothing that will span two or three seasons – like wool crepe or matte jersey
• Purchase only clothes that work with something you already own.
• Pass on anything that doesn’t fit – no matter how great a buy.
• Try to add only one or two well-thought out items per day or week. (depends on RL or SL)
• Add punchy color and trendiness with accessories, shoes, handbags.
• Continually eliminate and replace essential wardrobe pieces once it is built up so that you are never caught without a necessary item.

4. Getting stuck in a style rut.
Sticking with classics has been conventional style wisdom for ages, and for women with full lives and limited resources this is still a sure way to investment dressing. The problem is that as we grow older, we sometimes become a little too comfortable wearing our old standbys (or just doing “replenishment” shopping each season). Sometimes all it takes is tweaking the basics that you already own to look fabulous.

• Pick up a women’s magazine you normally wouldn’t buy (hint: should have more fashion than recipes on the cover). Elle, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and W are good starters.
• Go to a different store (online or physical) and try on new labels, even if the style is similar to what you already own. You may be surprised what you’re missing if you rely on certain set merchants and brands.
• Slip in some punchy color. Every season there’s a trendy color palette, and it’s usually not too hard to figure out what it is. Use color as accent pieces — a bright scarf, a camisole under a suit.
• Accessories are the easiest ways to update a look. Choose a new handbag, sexy sandals or a new necklace. If you’re not sure what’s modern, ask a sales associate (or instore models) to point you to what’s hot — they usually know what others are asking for.

Well I for one understand the difficulties of trying to find something fabulous to wear in your inventory when you’ve worn it all or seen it all. It can get boring, staid, and uninteresting. What’s a gal (or man) to do when they can’t find an outfit in their inventory that they haven’t worn before and doesn’t have the money to go on a shopping spree to get some much needed alone time and pampering? It’s quite simple really- mix it up! Who in the world said that you had to wear the outfits you bought as you bought them? I didn’t read that anywhere in the manual or package when I purchased my outfits and I’m sure you didn’t either- unless it had something to do with scripts. But what’s the point of being a fashionista if you don’t want to be creative and make your own outfits? It can be tough if you are in a lag and can’t really come up with some ideas and sitting there sifting through thousands of items can be a bit of a drag if it ends up taking 2 or 3 hours but if you really do love your fashion then this should be a breeze for you and fun to boot!

We’ve gotten so lazy nowadays in second life with our outfits because they are all coordinated for us when we purchase them from the designer which is greatly appreciated- don’t get me wrong- but it makes us complacent in the world of fashion and we can’t truly be ourselves. Sure, you can purchase and outfit that fits your personality but what happened to making it your own? Why not instead of just adding your own accessories you create a whole new style?! And yes, there will be many critiques of your style and outfits- it’s to be expected really so just do your thing and make it your own brand. Mix up outfits from various designers or if you want to have a challenge mix it up with that same designer with various outfits you’ve already purchase.

Not in the mood to do it because you hate having to search through your inventory time and again to recreate an outfit? Oh that’s another easy if not quick fix for that problem. Style cards are a great resource to take advantage of when it comes to making your outfits or styling them. It’s something that many stylists use when dealing with clients so why not take advantage of a well known secret? It’s quite simple to make a style card. All you have to do is create a folder for it that you can find easily. I usually place it at the top of my inventory by putting a few spaces before the folder name and then create a new notecard in that folder. Once you have your outfit go ahead and write down the various pieces that you are wearing and save the notecard. You’ll be able to go back later and pick those pieces out. Also, if you haven’t heard yet, second life 2 has a nifty little feature that allows you to save your outfits and unlike with the old second life viewer or other third party viewers that I know it won’t move your items from their original folders but just create links that will allow you to wear the entire saved outfit in a pinch! What a world huh? This is a great feature for models of second life when you’re creating your quick change folders although I do hear that it slows down your computer a bit if you don’t have a high processing computer so like with all things it has it’s ups and it’s downs.

Well that’s all the time I have for you with your tip of the day. This is a new feature that will be added to the blog. It may not be everyday but it’ll be something to help you out in times of need. If you have questions pertaining to fashion, second life fashion, designers, employment, shows, news, etc feel free to leave a comment and we’ll do our best to get those answered. You never know, it may be a new feature added to the blog as well. We will be in the process of revamping a few things so please stay tuned and be patient as we get those various things in place for your viewing pleasure.
