Three SL Wishes Meme

Welcome to my second Meme post, responding to the blogger challenge championed by Strawberry Singh.   You can read about my first Meme post here.

I hopped from the first Meme topic to the most recent one because I find this one really interesting, partially because I am a “what if” person and always day dreaming about some ”if” situations, so this is just a perfect one for me.

…and here it goes…

So you’re walking along the beach, kicking at the sand and you notice a magic lamp hidden under a rock. You pull it out and rub it, because what else would you do with a magic lamp? Out pops a genie and is ready to grant you three wishes, any three wishes to do with your SLife.

1. I wish the Firestorm viewer would offer a calender feature that also works as an organizer that I could mark all my SL appointments as well as events that I like to follow on the respective date and time, for example a fashion show, a deadline, a fair, friends’ rezz days, wedding days and etc.  This Organizer will also send me alerts as the appointment and event draw closer.  It would be awesome if it could be something that work similarly to the Microsoft Outlook, that I could file the respective landmark, notecards and perhaps my prepared outfit that with a few clicks I would be all ready as soon as the alarm goes off.  Call me lazy, call me super OCD, but would it be cool if you have this to make our Second Life a little more easier?

2. I wish Linden would increase its’ weekly allowance. Afterall, the more we spend in SL, the more it will help with the SL economy.   Seriously, I so wish I have enough skills to get a good paying (and decent) job in SL to help me pay for my rent and shopping sprees.

3. I kinna mentioned this in my first Meme post….I wish I will be able to own a sim one day with a fantasy theme that I will be able to offer store space to some of my lovely designer friends here; and on my sim a genie that could grant me another 3 wishes.

If you have read my first Meme post, you will know that I love to delete stuffs in my inventory and sometimes too much so on second thought, I also wish we have an undo button for our inventory, to undo items that I have accidentally deleted in the trash or sentences on the notecards.

My Meme style today is a punk queen because my Genie said so!

Have a great weekend everyone.  Do join the Meme Blogger Challenge if you like and feel free to leave your link in my comment box so me and other readers could read about yours.

My Seven (I Mean Eight) SL Facts Meme

My RL friend, JoV, introduced the idea of blog to me many years ago.  She is an avid book blogger and runs a very successful book blog called JoV’s Book Pyramid that I really enjoy reading.  I tried like one book/reading challenge with her and another blogger.  It was fun but I am a slow reader and felt bad when the rest of them had to wait for me to complete my reading.  Plus, I am sometimes (well actually most of my free time not that I have a lot) in SL doing something I like too, so I didn’t participate further in any of the challenges.  The idea of blog challenge, however, has been at the back of my mind since then.

Blogger challenge in SL seems fun to me and they are mostly pictures driven with some writing, which is something I enjoy doing in SL.  So today, I have finally got myself started in the Memes blog challenge, championed by Strawberry Singh.  I picked My Seven SL Facts Meme for the first challenge because… well you will read about it below.

My SL Fact #1:

I like to delete stuffs and at times accidentally delete something important.  I have deleted style card and description notes that I have prepared and dued on the same day, and had to redo them very last minute.  After the first experience, I always send a copy to a friend for safekeeping.

My SL Fact #2:

In line with Fact #1, I clean my trash a few times a day because I never liked my inventory size to go beyond 50K.  At the moment it is at 65,007, way beyond my limits, so I need to stay calm and keep blogging until my next scheduled spring cleaning in June.  God helps this super OCD!

My SL Fact #3:

As much as I love my home on the ground, I stand on the platform most time, styling, chatting with friends and taking pictures.  A few things I MUST have on my platform - a pose stand, a wall behind where I place my pose stand for styling purpose (not for photography and don’t ask me why) and a runway!

My SL Fact #4:

My first job in SL was a lucky chair group spammer.  I still like to play lucky chairs ocassionally and I spam my friend when I see their letters.

My SL Fact #5:

I had a SL family and a partnership between year 2007 and 2011, unfortunately most of the members have left SL.  I still miss them dearly (Moon! Masaru! Where are you??).  That remains as my best time in SL.  Having said that, I am grateful that one of my very first friends that I met over lucky chairs is still around. /me hugs Clover Munro. <333

My SL Fact #6:

Some of you might already knew that, my SL firstname “Ai” is inspired by RL model Ai Tominaga.  I have always wanted to be a model since young.

My SL Fact #7:

I made and sold T-shirts and gift boxes in the past.  If you have items from the brand ”Back to B@sic” and “LAUGH” in your inventory, they could be made by me.   The items are not that great but thank you very much to those friends that have supported me.

My SL Fact #8:

I have decided to add another fact to wrap things up for this post which explains why I picked this particular Meme topic to begin with, like a little get-to-know-me session before I get Meme deeper into the challenge. ^.^

….and that’s just me, I always likes to have a beginning and ending to everything I do.  If I started something, I would work on finishing it even it might take longer (or forever)…so (message to Joy L)  one day I will pick up creating again. I’m sure!

One day, I also hope to be a sim owner and build a fantasy theme that will offer store space to some of my dear designer friends in SL.  I was almost going to do it but with a turn of a rl event, I have to shelf this idea.  It seems to be a dream that will not happen anytime soon but it is still at the back of my mind.

Five years, going to be six soon, I’m grateful of what I have in SL todate.  Some true friendship, people’s appreciation of my works (I just saw in a group that I am one of their Top Bloggers, among some really great one, and am really grateful for that recognition) and blogging and work opportunities.  Thank you to those that believe in me.

A Big Post for A Big Day

It’s was big day for me yesterrday.  Firstly, it was the second audition for AVENUE casting and also, I was celebrating the first day of Chinese Lunar New Year in RL.  With that in mind, I have decided to use red colour for all my pictures today.

In this post, I will be sharing my stylings for the second phrase of the AVENUE casting and also a casual chic look, something that I would wear on my first day of Chinese New Year.

I have to say both the themes for audition yesterday were really challenging to my experience.

The first styling is an inspiration of Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2013 collections.  Models were asked to study the Collections and put on our own coin on it.  When I saw the Collections, immediately I thought of the Linen Blouse from .SHI that I bought at the Black Friday event last year.  It was a limited edition item and hence not many have seen it on the grid, which was a great news to me. :) I was really excited when Joy told me she is going to release the same blouse in Spring textures in the near future.  The best experience was being able to show case one of the designs at the live audition yesterday, prior to the release :)  Not only that, I also have the priviledge to put on the sleeves that .SHI has prepared as a group gift for its’ member and will also be released the same time as the top.  A big thank you to Joy Laperriere for sending me these items to use for this round of audition.  <333

As the blouse is a lovely and signature piece, the challenge is to make my personal coin stood out.  AW S/S 13 Collections emphasized on clean cut, so I wanted to made sure all the accessories I used were carrying the same essence; and below is the results.  This is my most favourite styling among the four I have done for this casting.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

The Second theme is Avant Garde/Fetish. I have to admit this is not my strongest styling although I did a lot of research on this theme, in each of the area i.e. avant garde, fetish, architectural, structural, and trying to think how I could incorporate all of them and still look good and over the top.  A friend reminded me that the styling has to tell a story so I spent most of my last two weeks on this particular theme, styled and restyled.  I knew my styling for this theme was not extraordinary so I tried to make it up with poses.  Now, I will let you be the judge.

Now, a lighter topic.

After the audition, I have put on an all new and bright look for the first day of Chinese New Year.  It is a Chinese tradition to wear new and red clothings on this auspicious day, so it was cool that I get to do that in SL too.  The Chinese Lunar New Year runs for 15 days, starting on Feb 10. If you want a bright and modern chic Chinese New Year look, check my style card.

I hope you had a great weekend like I did and wishing everyone a great start for the year of snake.
