Can someone please tell me why Miu Edman of Mirone hasn’t made this awesome hair in all of her entire range of colors? Also… Where is Armidi these days?
*tap tap* Is this thing on?
Ok, I know I’m completely rediculous – but Christmas is definitely coming late for me this year in Second Life. First of all, the onslaught of skin teasing that’s been going on lately is almost too much to handle if you are a skin fiend like myself … Not that I want to name any names, but I’ve been drooling over the ”Gwen” skin that Iki Ikarus has been teasing on her Flickr and rumor on the street is that Vive9 has an adorable new set being released tomorrow. All of this coupled with the fact that the Dernier Cri skins that I blogged about yesterday are expected to be out any day now is enough to send someone like me into a complete SL-Identity Crisis. And… have I mentioned that I love big hair? Aside from the fact that it’s clearly much easier to maintain in Second Life, I think it’s just hot… and since the start of the new year, it seems that big hair has by no means been in short supply.
Ok, it’s not typical for me to admit how completely obnoxious I can be - but since in this case it’s relevent I suppose I can allow it. The other day when I saw the update from Dernier Cri’s Subscriber with a notecard listing the latest update – my knee jerk reaction was to send a message to my friend (Who I knew would realize I was kidding) and say: “WHAT IS A DERNIER CRI? OMG”
Let’s face it – it’s been far too long since we’ve heard much from Asuka Martin. For months now she’s been teasing a new skin – and I think any opportunity for someone to also bring more hair to the grid is an opportunity worth taking. Though her reasons for the lapse in time are totally respectable – those of us who frequently experience identity crisis when it comes to skin have probably been jonesing for a taste since seeing her first teaser on her Flickr months and months ago. Luckily, Asuka’s brief absence was not in vain. Not only did she return with one of my favorite hairstyles in a long time (Cheryl: I die for anything that is bombshell styled) – but she came bearing the fruit of her many months of labor: The new Charlotte skin – which will hopefully be available in her store sometime in the very near future.
My first thought after reading the notecard and heading over to Dernier Cri, which has also recently been remodeled I might add, was to just blog the Cheryl hair and to gush about how much I love bombshell hairstyles and impress my thought that coifieurs in SL really need to start making more. Have I mentioned that I love bombshell hairstyles? But then I thought that maybe I could somehow feature some more Dernier Cri stuff in the process. I’m sure I’m not the only one who saw the teaser dropped into that notecard and experienced a bit of childish impatience. You know, the kind where you want to stomp your feet and flail your arms and make whiny sounds and then throw yourself on the floor? Yeah, like that. I’m sure that I could find a link to an example on YouTube somewhere if I really was feeling up to it… and it would probably involve a WoW player. Just saying.
I’ve finally managed to finish updating our SLURL page, which we took down sometime last March — as soon as I post this it will be found on the header at the top of the mainpage with a full list of all of the SLURLs that are mentioned and/or have been mentioned at one point or another on this blog. You may notice that I had quite a bit of trouble updating some of the stores – either because the designer doesn’t list a mainstore in their profile, or because for one reason or another there just couldn’t be a valid landmark found. I will make note of it on the SLURL page as well, but I just figured I’d mention that if you see a SLURL that isn’t correct, or you see one of the bolded store names without a SLURL and you happen to have the information needed - please update me!
And now for some clothes, so I can excuse my shameless shopping spree while updating SLURLs…
Hey, at least I’m honest about it?

I’m very slowly and methodically trying to update our list of SLURL’s before I make that page public again … It might take me more than a few days, but it will get there. Until then, you may amuse yourself with my contribution to Sophia Harlow’s Blogger’s “Challenge” …
The photo may be a bit mis-leading since the avatar shown on the left is not actually Sofia Gray, however it’s all me. I had been debating whether or not I wanted to show the “original” Sofia Gray or my original avatar – but felt in the end that in the spirit of the challenge, an old Sofia Gray wouldn’t be nearly as embarassing or exciting since not much has changed aside from her skin (a million times) and a few slight body and facial tweaks.
I actually consider myself to be a bit fortunate when it comes to my “coming to SL” story. On my very first day in SL, September 11th, 2006 – I met Ingrid Ingersoll. She took me to Tableau, gave me 50L, and sent me on my merry way. I spent almost all of my first month in SL camping out on the boardwalk there until I eventually became comfortable with the sliders and the “concept” of SL – at which point I made Sofia Gray (and another alt.) — this challenge was definitely a good excuse to visit my long-forgotten first avatar and see what kind of goodies were hiding in her inventory. The “East Coast Love” T-shirt actually still happens to be one of the most used items in my inventory … definitely a classic.
I don’t know… No pressure. No promises. Just going with the flow…
Happy New Year, everyone. :)
