Thanks Nef!

I used the free Back to Basics Pointed Toe Heels at In Her Shoes

...it's all about the season

This time I've dropped some free Winter Antlers into the shop (In Her Shoes). I'm still considering doing a set of these with flashy Christmas lights.... we'll see.

btw - I have Phoenix accept Windlight settings as I travel
Sims owners use Windlight to set a mood for your overall experience. It won't permanently change your settings...

Date Night:

• Tomuli`s Restaurant (because it's a date.. fumbling with the cutlery is a part of the process)

After dinner suggestions (if things are going well and you want to set a nice mood)

• Snowflake Island Ice Skating

• Winter Scenes 2011 by Incendia 

• The North Pole Sleigh-Ride Adventure

After dinner suggestions (if things are NOT going well or you want to see if he has a sense of humour)

• Horrific Winter Zombie Mountain

...A Little Something for the Elves

Thought I would set this out for all you busy elves. Stop buy and pick yours up (free) at In Her Shoes.
I have lots of goodies in mind for December, so if you want to be notified, be sure to join the Vignette group!

New Stuff Coming

Patience patience.... I'm revamping the blog and starting it up again.

I've decided to go back to my old format of blogging about all kinds of nifty stuff like:

• adventures
• places to visit
• great stuff I build 
• I also plan to include retro/costume (roleplay sort of stuff) 
• AND blog free nifty things I find in Second Life.

I will also be revamp the blog list I was keeping in the side bar and adding new stuff into the mix.

Rumors and Gossip - Microsoft and Lindens...Together?

So October 13th is the big day. Mesh Open Beta begins.  Is this something to look forward to?

What is a Mesh?, well, it allows 3d folks on the outside to create content, texture it and even hook it all together to make one prim..... then they bring it into SL and sell it. They'll be using programs like Blender and Maya. Within those programs they will make their own sculpts....bake on their own textures...and then turn something (like a coat or a house) into just one prim and sell it. It is a 3D professionals dream.

Are you going to buy a one prim coat with baked on textures or a 30 prim coat put together inworld? Mesh will separate the professionals from the mainstream sl builder. To be honest, I'd buy the one prim house if pressed!

I buy sculpts and textures. I make stuff and give it away because I can, but I am not a 3D professional.

So think of all the builders, sculpters and texture makers - how will they fit into this new plan? What will happen to the economy? Seems to me the professionals will make money - LOTS of it. Businesses in sl will hurt - a lot.

Who will love it? 3D artists/professionals and all those who come into the game just to flirt, adventure and explore.
Who will dislike it? The creative people already in SL. Dang, they come to build and have stores. It gives them a sense of accomplishment. Sort of like a "Eureka!!" moment:) This will be taken from the vast majority of them.

Rumors are out there -

The words Microsoft and Linden Labs, all in the same sentences????   What is THAT all about?
here
2nd here
3rd here 

Hey wait a second - Microsoft may buy Linden Labs? Dang...AND mesh that allows ubber professionals to make real $ ahead of the rest of us in Second Life? Ok - somebody wake me up...

Lot's to think about on this ....

Group Gifts at In Her Shoes [IHS]

For all the kind folks in the Vignette group (which is where ([IHS] In Her Shoes stuff is also found), I just sent three pair of shoes your way.

These shoes will NOT be in the store, you must join the group and check notices. Since group notices only stay in there so many days...don't wait too long to grab them!

Classic 60's

Time for more free shoes

I have been sooooo busy lately, but wanted to take this afternoon and set out something special for everyone.  Head on over to [IHS] In Her Shoes to grab both the white.... AND the black pair to add to your closet. They are both mod/copy so feel free to tint your heart out.

I also wanted to let everyone know where my blogs can be found, in case you want to keep up with my gaming activities:

For everything about the Vignette sim, In Her Shoes and any other free items I put out at Second Life, please head over to Second Life at Vignette.

My second blog is a bit new -----  Confessions of a Middle Aged Female Gamer.

See, I just love a good game but most of the sites online are geared to the 12 - 30 year old guys. I don't jump into hash and slash type games like so many guys do.
This blog is a gaming journal for women. I hope you take the time to stop by and say hello:)

Meanwhile, as always - FREE SHOES!

Dress - *ICING* Peggy in blue
Hair - from Truth, Nikhita 2 in barley
Shoes = [IHS] In Her Shoes - Classic Sling-Back Pumps in white - FREE!
