Refine Six

I’m six today (May 20)!!  Yes! Six years old! Wow! I can’t believe it…..I am an old cow!

Six years ago today I rezzed in this wonderful virtual world of Second Life, driven partially by curiosity and real life works.  This is the first virtual game I played and since then I never turned back.

I can’t believe it has been six years!  Six years is a long time for me.  Not only many things have changed for me in SL, I have been through a lot in RL for the past six years too but I am glad I have always had SL by my side on those bright or gloomy days.  I see turning six as a great milestone, in fact a fabulous achievement in SL.  Looking back, I have grown a lot in SL and the changes and experience I had, have come to defined who I am in SL today.

The other day I overheard a friend describing her two-year son as the “Terrible Twos”, and I thought if I have to call six years old something what would I call it?

For six years, I have found my interest, my friends and myself in SL.  The journey has shaped and cultured me and make me who I am today, so I like to call it “REFINE SIX”.

Today, I like to treat myself to all things beautiful.  I have been admiring this Origami Galliano Dress from ChicZafari for some time now and finally bought it as a rezz day present to myself; and I am lucky to have this beautiful Iconic Heels from BSD Design and the Persia Clutch from Pure Poison that when I put all together, is a well defined look.  For the details of what I am wearing, do check my style card below.

I always believe there is a story behind of every life, or every age in this case.  Strawberry Singh did a “Draw my life” on youtube on her 6th rezz day and as much as I love to participate, I am a complete noob in making a video.  Hence, instead of doing that, I deviated and had some fun naming my SL age.  I called mine the “Refine Six” and I am going to celebrate my rezz day today by kick starting a mini blogger challenge, something that I have always wanted to do for quite sometime now.

I am calling this a “Name Your SL Age” Blogger Challenge.   This will be a year long blogger challenge starting today (May 20, 2013) and ending on my rezz day next year (May 20, 2014).  If you are interested, please read more about the challenge here!

Have a great week everyone and for those in Canada, Happy Victoria Day!! Don’t feel shy to comment below or pop in my box inworld to catch up.  I love to hear from you!

Urban Symmetry by SHIKI Designs (S/S ’13 Collections)

SHIKI Designs has a lot of good things going on at this Spring & Summer (S/S).  The soon to be released S/S collections, Urban Symmetry, at the AVENUE Fashion Week (starting March 31) has really original and creative concept.  Not to mention, it is a huge leap for SHIKI to be creating its’ own mesh this season.

The idea behind of “Urban Symmetry” is taking the most unflattering and dull objects within the City and turn them into detailed fabric; object such as bricks, wired fences, discarded cans, rotten leaves, and garbage netting.  Shinichi and Vinn would like to take a positive approach, by showing us that even the simpliest things in life can also be very beautiful, by changing what is visually unappreciated objects to something that is exquisite and elegant.  This includes adopting simplicity, intricacy and geometry patterns to create that clean visions in their designs.

The Bedazzled Couture gown that I am wearing for example, is the inspiration from wired fence.  This dress has a double pointed bodice that symbolize energy and motion.  I especially like the midnight blue colour, it reflects classy and empowerment.

Come see SHIKI’s debut of its’ S/S Collections at the AVENUE Fashion Week next week!  More details about the Fashion Week to follow soon!
