I love the new skins from miaSofia.

Misa's Loco Pocos Avatar

After seeing posts about Loco Pocos on the feed, Misa picked up a new avatar at Loco Pocos Island tonight. In fact she got the Mega FunPack which gave her all the avatars and all the accessories =)




Each avatar comes with a HUD that allows you to quickly and easily change attributes - like fur, eye and nose color. Wearing other Loco Pocos items loads them into the HUD allowing you to change their attributes also (for example: hair, hat, shirt, and skirt colors).
It's a pretty impressive avatar and reasonably priced. Individually they are 350L$, and accessories (clothing, hats, etc.) are 100L$ each. There aren't a lot of clothing options yet (I believe only 2 shirts and 3 skirts for women), but the HUD color changing creates a nice variety. It looks like more options will be available in the near future (there were plenty of "coming soon" signs).
The Loco Pocos: Mega All For Girls 1.0 is L$2,500 and comes with 5 avatars, 4 pairs of shoes, 4 types of hair, 3 skirts, 2 shirts, and a bunch of other fun stuff like hats, glasses, wings, etc. There is also a Mega pack for men, too.

There are horses at Starlust! You can pick up a free demo (with limited rides, but enough rides to get some awesome shopping done). I think these are only around for a limited time - for their upcoming July 4th party.


And I've decided that the absolute best possible outfit to wear with a horse is Schadenfreude's Tuxedo Corset.

Silent Sparrow Sylvan Suit & Rosemar Skin

Rosemary gave her group another gorgeous skin. It costs $250L to join the ROSEMAR group but it is well worth it! The skin below, for example, came in a pack of 12 tones (plus adorable pics of her dog's new puppies... awwww so cute).


I was lucky to stop by and pick up the new beautiful group gift from Silent Sparrow while Hyasynth Tiramisu was dj-ing. Good music, great free gift, and a bonus shovel!

Ring Flash

Gaynor Gritzi has a very cool ring flash for photographers. I've only barely scratched the surface of what it can do, but already I can see two ways it can make lighting a shot easier.

The first is that I have a photo studio with three light balls that I manually move closer or farther away as needed. This isn't a lot of work, honestly, but it is a pain when I have a shot set up and then have to zoom my camera back and try to get the lights in the right spots. The Ring Flash HUD makes changing intensity, radius, falloff, and RGB values so much simpler and quicker than moving around the light balls.

The second is when I am out and about and am trying to take photos in a place where I really don't want to (or maybe can't because of permissions) pull out my own light balls. This ring flash just attaches to your head like a face light and makes the process much easier.

So to test this out in the field Uhi and I went to the WWF island.


HUD with default settings.


Playing around with environment settings set to midnight.


The ring flash on "show" so you can see the different lights. When you set the ring flash to "hide" you can't see the lightbulbs.

The only thing I can think of to make it better is having an easier way to go from one extreme to another (like going from 100% to 0%) on the settings, but I've never seen a better interface option on any other HUD (like a slider or input) so it probably isn't even possible to try a different approach.

This is a really great gadget and I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it!

My new favorite dress

I've been hearing such fabulous things about Rosemar and I was really looking forward to a shopping trip there. I am so glad I went- such wonderful clothes and skins; Rosemary is such an amazing designer! And right now (as you've probably heard) she has a buy-one-get-one-free sale going on.

Lovely Dresses
This is such a beautiful dress - great detail and I *love* the way the skirt moves. This is my new favorite!


The dress looks especially delightful with Rosemar's Creampuff Skin (nutmeg, makeup 058).

The Frontrunner Dress has three skirt options (this is the "full" skirt), and lovely details.


The skirt on the Plume (Feather Cocktail Dress) is so adorable!
