New Year’s Eve formalwear
For my final post of 2007, I thought I’d make just a few suggestions for possible New Year’s Eve party attire. It seemed to me that formalwear was called for, so here are just a few of my favorites, some recent, that haven’t been featured here before.
If you’re looking for a beautifully designed traditional tuxedo, consider the variety of styles by designer edo Tone. The simple, classic style at right (L$400) has clean lines, a notched silk collar, and silk-edged pockets. The pants are elegantly textured, with a cleanly defined crease. The shawl collar tux at left (L$500) is done with the same attention to detail. Also available are a “High Grade” tux (L$600), with jacket textured in deep charcoal rather than inky black, and for variety a grey tux (also L$600). Note that the prices given here are for the tuxedo jacket and pants only; all tuxedo styles are also available in “coordinated sets” with wing collar shirts, vests, cummerbunds, and ties in various colors and styles. These accessory items are also available individually, so you can mix and match or expand your wardrobe with specific items to your personal taste.

Silent Snow White
This look was inspired by the new Kyoot Army sim, Silent, and one of my long-time obsessions, the band Rammstein and their video "Sonne". (Translated lyrics can be found on Herzeleid.com: Sonne.)
This series was really just a way for me to be creative and have a little fun at the end of the year. Credits are available on Flickr, just click the pictures above to find out more! There are also more pictures in this series, so check them out on Flickr, too. I am currently doing research for more “modern Disney princess” looks, so if you liked this one, keep your eyes open.
There will be a lot of changes for me in Second Life in the coming year and I’m very excited. I hope you have a happy New Year’s Eve and good luck in 2008!3
Gaming the Search Tool 05
Someone posted an image on Bloghud.com and I had to go see for myself, of course. I ended up with several shots, myself:
This is such total BS. Other businesses hustle to promote their brand by paying considerable sums on advertising in SL, in magazines, on blogs and websites — this includes paying models, photographers, set designers, possibly even graphic designers and advertising agencies. They take the time to network with people, sometimes offering their items for review at websites like Linden Lifestyles and Second Style Fashionista or courting modeling/PR agencies. They try to attract customers with all sorts of innovative builds and special events, brainstorming different ways to get people to take note and get involved.
They work damn hard to make their business a success.
So yeah, it pisses me off when I see this kind of cheap stunt pulled because it seems like cheating to me. These people don’t care about the kind of lag they inflict on their visiting customers; all they can see are dollar signs associated with each green dot on the mini-map that isn’t an alt. And I sincerely doubt the avatars you’ll see in the following pictures are legitimate, paid accounts.
Clicking on the images will take you to their respective flickr pages, where you can view larger version. I’ve included the interface and HUD objects in the screenshots, but blurred out my linden balance because I don’t want anyone to see how poor I am. :p
Happy New Year!
To those already into the celebrations - or already recovering - and to those who are still to ring it in (myself included), I wish you all a peaceful and very happy new year.

Though there are some deeply sad memories, there are also many especially happy ones. I truly treasure the friends I have made in Second Life and I am reminded of how lucky I am every day.
