Tuesday Morning

Nylon Outfitters is a store I discovered within the first few months of my SL journey. It was the first store that I ever saw that had hand drawn clothes, which is something I really admire. Tucked on a boardwalk sim that was Tableau, I thought Nylon's clothing were the best on the grid. I saved for weeks camping until I finally managed to purchase my first NO designs.  I still have my first purchases BTW, they rarely are worn but are a precious part of my SL inventory. Now on for the look of the day.

Manic Monday

 So I realize it's a little late, but here is Monday's Look of the day. It started with this incredible offer from SLDD. Sunday Zarra offered this exclusive purple Syona Kurta top. It's one of the latest releases Zaara has available in store. Now if you haven't shopped at Zarra before, you defiantly have been missing out. Zarra's style is hard to describe. It's eclectic, funky, indie, unique, ethnic. The texture colors are deep, rich vibrant colors designed with details that can make any girls knees weak. The shop is beautiful in it's design and makes for some great photo locations. In all Zarra is an A++ store. Now for the rest of the look.

"Harder, Better, Faster Stronger" with SLDD

**Note-Great ideas are not created over night but rather change and adapt over time. It's through this growth that the small become bigger until they become the best. It takes hard work: scripting, negotiation, marketing, patience and above all else time and love. Thank you SLDD for creating something wonderful and unique in SL. Shopaholics around SL thank you, appreciate you and support you 100%.

I'm a total shopoholic in SL. Which is why when I see a sale on an item that I would have normally purchased at full price it's a total bonus. It's like adding the cherry on the ice cream brownie that makes life just a little sweeter. For me, SLDD is the cherry of my shopping excursions. I rely on SLDD to keep to date on new stores, exclusive promotions and items. Anyone that is a thrifty shopper or a lover of discounts can appreciate SLDD.

With more possibilities for savings and a new innovative membership card system SLDD has returned with a twist. SLDD cards are great because they provide exclusive discounts on some of the best designers in SL. These designers are providing a generous offer to the community by discounting their work for these daily deals. Daily discounts provide 50% off one fantastic item. Designers are also providing an additional 10-25% percent off their normal prices on selected items. This is the bonus. Currently SLDD is providing a promotion to kick off the start of the new program. Membership cards are only selling for 10L for the rest of this month. It's really a great steal. This offer is perfect for those that are curious and interested in testing how the membership works.

Exodi
Whippet & Buck

"The Geek in the Pink" standing up for Pink Shirt Day

Today is Pink Shirt day! For those of you that are not aware Pink shirt day is a RL movement to stop bullying. More information about the RL movement can be found at the following sites.
Stop Bullying Now!
http://www.bullying.org/

Whether it be in cyber space or in RL, bulling is hurtful and damaging to one's self esteem. Personally I can't stand to see groups of intelligent people I respect tearing one another apart. We forget that we are a community and should be supportive of one another. We each have different personalities, strengths and weakness. We should learn to become more tolerant, loving and caring of one another. By utilizing our unique perspective and outlook on SL; we are able to build a stronger bonds within our little community. Just think of the resources we could pull together instead of using negative energy to tear one another apart. We're all adults and should take the time to reflect upon that before we speak badly about another person.

As someone that has been the subject of bully attacks in the past I can defiantly say it caused me unnecessary stress. Just because the method of bullying is virtual/cyber doesn't mean the emotional pain is lessened nor does it mean that it is acceptable. I've walked away from my computer at times with tears streaming down my face. The effect of the bullying didn't just stop at my computer but carried on to other areas of my RL as well. For some of us leaving the virtual world drama behind is a little more difficult and attacks made against personal decisions or aspects of your RL can cause emotional distress and real pain.

Please stop by participating stores on this list and take part of Pink Shirt day. Together we can help to stop bullying by stand up next another, speaking out for one another and not spreading or feeding into the bullying mentality.

"Vogue" with the First Annual Pose Fair 2010

The First Annual Pose Fair is here and underway!! The Pose fair opened it's doors on April 2, 2010 and will run until April 16th, 2010. Almost 100 pose vendors have all gathered for this event to raise funds for Motivation, which is an organization that helps individuals with mobility disabilities. This worthy, noble and heartfelt cause is the main beneficiary of the first annual poise fair. The second are the wonderful, generous and talented Animators/pose makers that make us avatars mobile. This pose fair not only brought awareness to Motivation, but it also made myself and others conscious of the influence that animators/pose makers have within SL. I will admit sometimes tend to forget these praises and have inadvertently made them the unsung heroes of my blog and well....my SL life.

Without these creators SL Residents would become vapid, lifeless dolls without expression and movement. Stuck in Linden chicken walks with our arms tapered at our side like stumps. Instead of walking we would waddle to one another and resemble poultry more than humans. Intimate embraces such as cuddles, kisses, hugs and group shots would become a faded memory. Which is why it's important to provide kudos to these creators.

I honestly have a lot of fun editing photos and picking out the perfect pose is a big part of my creative process. Which is why I have decided to make a commitment from this post on to provide a little credit at the bottom of my blog for pose makers and props, as a way to say Thank you; I appreciate you; and PLEASE keep doing the fabulous work that allows me to "strike a pose, and Vogue".

**Note..I sat on writing this post for about a week, RL became busy and always comes first. I created a flicker set with the photos I had intended on using for this post. Poses from stores: Poise, Dismorph, posemaster. please click link if you care to view....and now on to the closing credits and music.
