My Wonder Woman Outfit

Wonder Woman is my number one favourite super hero and I have always wanted to bring her to life in SL.

After a visit to Velvets Dreams Store I knew that I had found the one but I still wanted to make some comparisons. 

I logged into Second Life Market Place even though I have always preferred  to shop in-world I decided to check out the competition.

A lot of stores only had a few parts to the costume that I liked and others I didn’t like at all. 

Velvets Dreams kept popping up on MP and I found myself going back to that one outfit that stood out. 

It was simple yet beautifully made and I don’t buy much without trying a demo first however I took a risk on this one because I had bought clothes from their in-world store.

This lovely design came with the Tiara and Belt the Top and Pants and after more searching on Market Place I found a great pair of Superhero Boots from Pixel Perrfect Productions to complete my outfit.

Hair was next on my list and after trying all of the hair that I already had I decided to go to *TUKINOWAGUMA* (wow that is a mouthful) And I found a cute hairstyle that really worked.

I didn’t go for all of the extra accessories I wanted to keep my Wonder Woman looking my way and that’s the thing if you want to create a cartoon or comic book character in SL then you don’t have to be exact and go for THE original look. 

Make your version and make it to suit you and what you like and find your own originality within your creations.

Wearable Furniture

Do you ever wish that you could wear a seat right out of your Second Life Inventory without ever having to concern yourself with rezz rights? Want to relax on a beach in a cool laid back chair without a care in the world? Well now you can.

Maybe I am a bit behind in the times when it comes to SL either that or I just totally missed something because discovering Grimalkin’s Store was such a surprise.

I should have known that anything is possible in a virtual world but wearable furniture? Seriously? Okay I’m hooked.

I bought quite a few items ranging from 65 Lindens to 100 Lindens at the most and I really wanted to share my experience with all of you. 

This is my list: 

Handy Hut (Type A - AFK Sign included) 

The Reading Seating (Personal Version) 

The Wherever Wearable Reading Rug 

The Private Changing Room (a free gift)

And last but not least my favourites:

The Anywhere Chair (Iced Tea & Kitten Edition) Which comes with an AFK Kitten as well and The Bed-blogger 5000

I’ve added pics of those for people to take a look at.

Just type Grimalkin in your SL search bar and teleport over there or you can find them on Market Place.

Have fun with it.

My Blog is my Second Life Diary and it’s full of posts regarding my experiences in SL as well as some of my fashion favourites. I write this Blog for me and when I find something that I like whether it’s clothes or a product then I’ll share it with everyone complete with photos and links if the creators have a fan page or a web site.

I only have one follower on my Blog yes only ONE but I don’t care because if people want to like and follow me they will and if they don’t well that’s life and I will continue to write regardless of who reads my material or who doesn’t.

As you can see on my Blog I also have a Facebook Page with a Facebook Group and Instagram. The links are there if you want to take a look. I do follow other Blogs however if I follow your Blog on a personal level as a form of support to you and you don’t follow me back then eventually I will unfollow you.

I’m a shopaholic in SL and for every outfit that I post about I will also post a followup update if I’ve added or changed anything about it and I always include a style card to credit the creators from my hair to my shoes. 

I am always up for something new so if you want anything blogged just hit me up in the comments or on my Facebook Page. 

I would be more than happy to help.

My G.I. Jane Outfit

After seeing Demi Moore’s portrayal of Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil in the 1997 action movie G.I Jane I wanted to create my own version of her character in Second Life.

Sometimes I’ll get lucky and find a complete outfit and other times I just make the outfit up by using clothes and accessories from different creators which can be a lot of fun as I watch it all fit together giving it it’s own originality.

Everything that I am wearing here comes with a colour change HUD so you can alter your look whenever you wish making it a lot more versatile.

Quinnty’s *** A Fun Pace To Shop

When it comes to Second Life I am a self confessed shopaholic even if I’m not buying anything I still like to check out new stores or new to me at least so if I come across one that I really like then I’ll blog the outfit(s) so that you guys can check it out for yourselves.

I discovered a neat little store in my travels by the name of Quinnty’s and I don’t usually pay to join groups however this one was just my style for the bargain price of 50 Linden I signed up straight away.

The Quinnty’s store caters to the lovers of casual and retro fashion. Most of the clothing come with HUD’s with different colours and/or different designs.

Prices are cheap too at 100 Lindens for a fat pack of leggings or tops and there are dresses and single tops as well. A great way to mix and match your look.

If you like this style of clothing take a look  just type Quinnty’s in search. I don’t post store SLURL’s because places are always changing but it’s easy to find.

I’ve written a little blurb below about what I’m wearing and I’ve included the creators of my hair and shoes as well if anyone wants … enjoy.

Applier Clothing *** What Are You Wearing?

My transition from a classic avatar to a mesh one wasn’t exactly easy and going from a look that I had become accustomed to for years to having a separate body and head was a little daunting at first but I got there and I am still getting there.

Buying clothes became an issue. Like everything else in this world of mesh I had to demo my outfits too and that can’t be hard right? 

Wrong! My first experience with demoing clothes in a store came as quite a shock to me because when you WEAR one item another one can disappear and bam there you are in the store naked which is not a pretty sight. 

Or maybe it is but it wasn’t for me at the time and I rode that TP hard all the way home and didn’t look back.

I had to consider my options. Do I take my demos home and try them there? What now? I didn’t have a clue so I decided to use my applier underwear. 

Confused? Okay when you buy your body and in my case it's Maitreya you also get a few extras such as your body HUD and a lingerie applier HUD that you use to apply lingerie to your body in the form of a tattoo or underwear or even clothes and it will not come off until you take it off via your body HUD.

It is a simple little lingerie ensemble complete with bra and pants and stockings and suspenders with different clothing options and you can save your styles in the slots of your body HUD.

I went to the LARRY store and bought some applier jeans and top combos and over time my applier clothes collection grew and I now have a few trusted items that I can wear when I can’t think of what to wear or for when I go shopping to demo a thing or two.

In my opinion applier clothing is not much different from any other clothes in the sense that they are either well detailed or they look really noob as though they have been drawn onto your avatar. When it comes to appliers people usually love them or hate them. 

For me personally? They are a great idea.

Regardless of what you wear … be happy with the you that you created. 

Want to look like a newbie? Do it … still classic? Who cares? Converting to mesh? Go for it … my number one rule in Second Life is … be who YOU want to be NOT someone else’s idea of who you should be.

You are YOUR vision … dream big.
