I have some sad news, Twilight Magazine is going hiatus, due some drama going on in the flickr world. Personally, I think it was the wrong thing to do because allowing drama to win should never happen. Although I’m happy that it will be coming back and I will still be on it, so I might add things from time to time about the art world in SL(tm), although don’t get your hopes up. lol 

Anyway, I have some summer goals and plans on SL(tm) which I would like to share. 

1. I will be working and opening an exhibit on Vodou/Voodoo. I had to do a large term paper and I enjoyed it so much that I decided it would be fun. I also want to do museum work when I’m older, so this might be a good way to see if I like it or not. If you would like to help me out with the exhibit, drop me a notecard about some of the things you would like to help out with. I might put some of the positions on my profile, but I can’t guarantee anything. 

2. Try to update more often. I will be less busy during the summer, so I should be on more and I can give opinions on developments of the Grid. Also maybe,  like I said above, post somethings on the art world. Who knows, I might even work on Hanging Gardens of Babylon Garden Society of Second Life(tm)! 

3. Meet more people and nurture my older friendships. I want to  meet more  people in the fashion world and the art world, but everyone is welcome to drop me a line if they would like!

 4. Work on improving my photos and editing skills, which need a lot of work, but hopefully I will improve and be more confidant about my work. 

5. Learn how to use scupties to create furniture. If I get any good, I might even open my own furniture business. If that happens it will be small! Lol I would just have maybe one store in a retail sim. The pieces would be limited edition, depending on the piece, kind of like a real business. Although that is still up in the air.  I think that would be fun to do! 

I guess the themes of the summer is improving and working. It would be great to hear from people about new art exhibits and other events going on the Grid. Hope to hear from you!

Btw New flickr photos—> Be sure to leave a comment!

I have soooooooooooooooooooo busy with rl that it has kept me away from Second Life(tm). I have some news to say I am on the staff of Twilight Magazine! I was referred by a friend who is one of the editors and they liked me! Yay! I’m finally doing something other than taking pictures of myself and shopping! lol  I will post a link to the first issue, which i didn’t work on. It is a great art magazine and I encourage everyone to read the first issue!

Adia!

bored. I can’t stand it. I want to do something else than just purchase clothes and just talking with friends, not that it that isnt fun anymore, I just want to do something else. I don’t want a job in sl because frankly I don’t have the time and my hours on sl are starting to get few and far between. I want to curate a gallery or a museum exhibit in SL, which I’m thinking about doing one that is really informal and just on a sandbox for a few hours, but I would like to do something more permanent, perhaps at one of the many college campuses on SL. I think it would look somewhat good on my RL resume, although I’m not quite sure. What do you guys think?

Hmm? What to do, what to do.

Anyway, I got three pictures so far on my fashion shoot, but I don’t know if I’m going to continue with the shoot.

And I just reemembered paper couture released their spring collection. And I love almost every single piece. Some of them are a bit odd, but that is good ole paper. My favorite piece of the pieces that I bought would have to be the rosette dress. It is very Nina Ricci, with the diffferent layers of fabric. The scupties are impressive and I feel like a million bucks. lol On the whole the collection is very Christian Siriano, the winner of last season’s Project Runway. It has a lot of volume pieces with antique and tea party touches. Cora Lu outdid herself, with the introduction of hair. The jewerly pieces accent the whole collection. I really like the champane pearl necklace set. She also did a really nice sapphire and diamond set with amazing textures. BTW many of her old pieces are still at the tableau store, which I had to get some. Oh, I almost forgot, Paper now has skin! I don’t know what Lu is selling them, all I know is that they are Toast Bard’s wonderful skins and are selling for 800 a pop, which is a decent price for a quality skin, although I perfer 500 because it is a bit more afordable for me, at least.

Her are my Top 5 Must haves from the Paper Couture Spring Collection 2008

1. Rosette

2. Davinci

3. Delicate China

4. Romantic S…. (I can’t spell it lol)

5. Any wig of your desire

lol I still live. I have been very busy in RL! I will be posting a new photo shoot late this weekend! It is my high fashion shoot that I have been cris-crossing the grid for the right outfits and such! I can’t wait!

I wanted a change, so i changed! lol yay for orange!

Lately I have been referring to Adia as a character, not nessarily an extention of my RL personality. It is really weird. I feel like my actions on SL are a lot more than my actions in RL have been lately. It is weird. Adia is someone who I like and perhaps at one time, was more me than me, but that has reversed itself and it is a weird feeling. I don’t know. I guess it has to do with the fact that I wasn’t feeling good at the time I started and now I’m doing much better, even though this month has been one of those you wish was over in the middle of the month. Perhaps it is all this V-day stuff, and super bowl projections (as in what my mind projected on to the game). Also perhaps all this stuff is so backed up that i need to get it all out, because i haven’t seen my therapist since the beginning of the month and will see her next weekend. Who knows. Anyway, if im not in sl for a while, i need a short break.

Adia

No, it isn’t out yet, and poblibly won’t be out for a while. Anyway the whole idea started with the purhas of Ghost from COIF and the new line, Cachet, High Fashion. I’m flying across the Grid to find over-the-top fashion pieces, such as, but not limited to, Paper Couture, in SL and then doing a photo spread and then posting it up on flickr and here! If there are any designers that read my blog and your pieces are over the top and you would love to be included in the shoot, drop me an IM or a notecard and perhaps a few pics that would be great, and then we can discuss the payment options.

Your Candy Heart Says “Get Real”

You’re a bit of a cynic when it comes to love. You don’t lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart. Your ideal Valentine’s Day date: is all about the person you’re seeing (with no mentions of v-day!) Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic What turns you off: romantic expectations and “greeting card” holidays Why you’re hot: you don’t just play hard to get - you are hard to get

Thank you very much

C’est mari gras!!! Yay!!! Get out those masks and induge in Unbridled Hedonism Day!!!! Hope everyone enjoys the day! Make sure you walk home, take a cab, limo, party bus, etc. to get home!!! DONT DRINK AND DRIVE!!  I need to keep my readership numbers. lol. Hope you have a fantastic night!

Remember to shower the flashing noobs with lots of free L$ today, as this is the day they can do that without being chastised. lol!

Remember DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!

These are just some of the symptoms of my first week back at school. Yay! I don’t know if I will be on as much as I used to be, because of the amount of work that I want to get down this semster. I might just have to be on weekends, Friday-Sunday, so that way I can get all my work done and continue in-world. I will try to get on during the week, but I can’t promise anything right now as I’m really trying to push hard for high grades espcially at the beginning of the semster. lol
