Busy in rl, needless to get into details, right? Let go straight to the business...
This weekend Bliss Couture had a Fashion Show celebrating it's 3rd Anniversary where Amutey presented her newest formals, including a few preview so the attendees could get it in first hand at special prices.

Promotional add. All rights reserverd to Bliss Couture.
    I can tell you that the word of the day was RUFFLES! Yes babes, there were plenty of delicious and lavishly ruffled skirts, I really loved her volume and texturing play Amutey had going. There was this youthful feel mixed with a confident sexiness  imprinted in every design and I heartfully enjoyed the sight of it.

The colour pallete was into a pale mood, but hey, it doesnt meant it was boring - far from it! The color choices, that ranged from white, orchid, plum, shades of magenta and some others I unfortunately didn't see in time were all well used, providing the outfits a personality of their own, as it is supposed to be, right?

    Walking the walk were some of the lovely Bliss Couture models - Miss Bliss Couture 2011 Kay Fairey, Lulu Breuer, Queen Watanabe, Emma, Christiane (to name a few), and hosting the event was Alena Lionheart. I was very pleased with the choreography, that allowed my computer render most of of the gracious ladies, which also brings me to another spot on for this show - the beauty. Bliss's troupe were all sporting the bold and beautiful hairstyles designed by Amutey, and I have to I admit, I had to contain myself from touching their well sprayed locks. Needless to mention that all the girls styled with all prim and proper, I find them all dashing, nobody overdid their styling and that my dear it's a bliss, *chuckles*.


Sadly I couldn't make in time for more shows this weeked, hopefuly I intend to attend to shows more often, and to log in as well, silly real life could be easier on me, lol

A little thought...

I've been thinking of translating some SL related articles just for the sake of informing and practicising my skills, I'll gladly take suggestions, specially fashion/modeling related as I have a thing for that subject.

Estou pensando em traduzir alguns artigos relacionados ao SL só pelo prazer de informar mesmo e para praticar as minhas habilidades (hehehe), aceitarei sugestões com muito gosto e em especial as relacionadas com moda e carreira de modelo.

(Not so) lazy days

Greetings from this awful blogger that hasn't been around for quite some time, I know... =/ RL was kind of hectic lately - I was dismissed from my job at the same time I was admitted for the liberal arts / linguistics course, life knows how to puzzle us, eh?

My sl continues the same, me jobless, lindenless and trying to figure a way out to sl-poverty (exagerating much, nah... a little, yeah, lol).

In hopes of getting a job in both lifes, I leave you in this cloudy sunday!

Keep breathing,
Mac.

Adventures in content making

Another tag has just born and I find that it comes in a very apropriate time, you know? I've been experimenting with various things at the same time - which I know it is never a good thing 'cause it will be better if I focus on something and make that something happen and all that jazz, I know, really, lol - read it as prim manipulation regarding hairmaking, texturing also regarding hair and I got stuck on 3d modeling once I have no clue on how to lock a model so I could load another and model it around the first one, like in making a shoe and dabbling with the heels, got it? That's it, ph, and I am looking forward to fool around with those tattoo layers, I can picture some interesting uses for it. - Never change Mac, never change, lol...

Nothing much to say other than...

My phone line was off and only today they sent someone to fix it but it's all good! Raining cats and dogs here, typical January treat but I hope it doesn't make as much mess as last years.

Anyway, I took the web-free time and did some research while away from work and found some nice inspirations to model upon, now I just need to keep working on AC3D and manage to figure it out if not completely, at least enough to make a full sculpty shoe or bag, or belt, or whatever... lol

Have a great week!

Hurried up

Hiyas!

I still didn't had the time to work on my 2nd life virtual life project neither to login but I plan to do during the weekend. I also figured that I am seriously unemployed there, geez, no more store modeling for me? Aww... even though it would be difficult to keep up with it as my actual life career finally happening - it sort looks like a trade, my sl job for my rl job - but I trully hope I can bring both into ballance, if many can do, why not me, right? So bring it on, I know this will be THE yeah for good things happening all around, it may soun d cliché, which I admit in fact it is - I have good vibes from it.

Be well!
Mac =D

Preguiçinha de traduzir o post, mas lá vai (hahaha) - ainda não tive tempo essa semana de mexer com  as coisas do SL mas pretendo logar e fazer elas durante o FDS e me toquei que estou desempregada no SL - trágico, né? - e no final das contas tudo meio que soou como uma troca - emprego SL por emprego na RL - surrealista no mínimo né? Mas eu espero na boa que eu consiga trazer os dois num equilibrio, afinal tem quem conseguiu, pq não eu, não é mesmo? Além do que eu sinto que esse ano vai ser muito bom num plano geral.

Bom, é mais ou menos isso... fiquem bem e até a próxima!

Helloooo 2011

Is it a shame that this entry took almost the entire afternoon? No! It's the sunday after the New Years day so I am giving myself that benefit. Sunday is mostly a lazy day per se and it just increases its qualities if it comes after a holiday like the January 1st. Ah, the perspective is kind of scary, I expect a lot to happen in RL and subsequentialy in SL - think about a kid that will only get its bycicle if she or he gets straight A's on school that's me and SL. I may have to prove later in the year that I am capable of separating my virtual interests from my real life (and to keep the same happening perfectly) - ah the challenges...
So estimutalting and I am willing to go after it. I cherish my real life but SL is the perfect outlet for my other ambitions, you know? But as the perfeclty worded lines from Coldplay's "The Scientist" say "...nobody said it was easy" and I am sort of glad it isn't. The purpose of living is to overcome the adversities that appear along the way, specially in our actual lives. Before giving too much credit to pixels remember you're human after all.

That's how I'll start 2011.


Take care! =D
Mac

Versão em portugues do artigo acima =P

É uma vergonha que esse post levou quase a tarde toda? Não! Afinal é o domingo após a virada do ano, por isso eu estou me beneficiando do mesmo. Domingo por si só já é um dia preguiça e sua característica só aumenta se o mesmo acontece aós um feriado tipo dia primeiro de Janeiro. Ai, perspectivas são um tanto quanto assustadoras, eu espero muitas coisas para acontecer na rl e subsquentemente no SL - pense numa criança que somente ganhará sua bicicleta se ele ou ela tirarem 10 em todas matérias na escola, essa sou eu com SL. Eu preciso provar no correr do ano que eu tenho capacidade de seprara meus interesses virtuais da minha vida real (e manter a mesma acontecendo sem problemas) - é, os desafios....
Tão estimulante e eu estou disposta a corrar atrás disso. Eu me importo muito com a minha vida real mas o SL é a vávula de escape perfeita para minhas outras ambições, sabe? Mas como as palavras perfeitamente colocadas de "The Scientist"do Coldplay "Nobody said it was easy..." e eu meio que estou contente que não o seja. O propósito de se viver é superar as adversidades que aparecem ao longo do caminho, em especial na vida real. Antes de dar muita atenção aos pixels, se lembre que depois de tudo ainda é um ser humano.


E assim é como inicio 2011,
Cuide-se! =D
