A Hush Fell Upon The Blog…

So if it’s not already apparent, I’ve somewhat stepped aside from SecondLife and the fashion scene within. It comes down to a simple statement of, “Not enough time and not enough desire to continue blogging.” SL was the water that fed my thirst for fashion when I was just a seedling. I always loved going to the fashion shows to see what new menswear designers were putting out and how they followed RL trends or created trends of their own. I actually hopped on to noticing the RL trends because of SL. My RL closet and Gilt Groupe are beaming with a smile from ear-to-ear because of that. I’ll always love fashion and that love will carry me throughout my future days, but these days it doesn’t include SL fashion. Often I log in, clear notices, check notecards, and log right back out (in fact I did it tonight). My time these days is all taken by sports (soccer and kickball) and the things that aren’t getting done while I’m out being a sporting lad. I know I never really posted all that much on here anyway, but I figured I’d give it an official send off.

Designers, keep pushing the limits of your creativity and never give up the fight reach the perfection of your creations. It’s always appreciated in more ways than one. And always remember that for every dress you sell, there’s most likely going to be a man that needs a great outfit to not look like a vagrant with system shoes/hair/skin on next to her.

With that I bid you adieu, adios, aufiderzein, and goodbye.

Peace,

Back To Basics

Yeahhhhhhh, so I’m ahead of schedule with this blogging thing, huh? Based on my previous time period I don’t think I was due for another one until 2012, but sometimes Mercury goes in retrograde in the sky and shit happens. 😉 Honestly, I simply had fun putting pics together for this one and the inspiration to post sort of came out of nowhere. Let’s get into this:

Workout

Well well well… look who’s back with their blog. Okay don’t get used to this as my spring sporting schedules (both playing and viewing) are in full form. So let’s get into this before I forget to type this entire thing out and go back to laundry:

Pacific Crisis Fundraiser

I know it has been a while since I strolled through here, but I have a humbling reason to stop by tonight. The news of the 9.0 earthquake in Japan followed by tsunami lit everything from telephones to social media on Friday. The damage cost and death toll are still rising. The threat of nuclear meltdowns may still be on the horizon. The amount the Second Life community gives and has risen to the occasion in the past for Haiti, Queensland, Relay For Life, etc. is incredible. Please go. Please give. Please love. Please remember that there is no force stronger than nature.

**Official Press Release**

An emergency fundraising effort for the victims of the crisis in the Pacific that hit on the 10th/11th of march is being set up.

SL is an international community, with a strong base in Japan specifically. This disaster is worldwide and affects us all, as a community SL has risen up time and time again to help out in times of distress, including very recently.

In September 2010 $11,000USD was raised for the Pakistan flood crisis relief fund (UNICEF) at an SL event. An event organised in four days. This is an example of what our community can do, and we are attempting to prepare for a similar, simple but effective, event.

We are calling for anyone who wishes to help with this fundraiser. We will be providing vendors that donate 100% of sales to a charity account (Charity Shelter) for people to place in their stores and at an event location slurl here. The products in these vendors don’t have to be new, but the more new and exclusive items available the more money we will raise, so even a variation of an existing product is appreciated.

We welcome any and all participation and interest in this event – if you’d like to participate as a designer please go to – http://www.tinyurl.com/pacificfund/

We require all brands involved to have one product sold at 100% to the charity, however if more than one item is available the others can be at 100% or 50%.

Please note that 100% of all money raised will go to the charity Americares. Land was donated by Glam Affair and all volunteers are giving their time without charge.

Rainy Day

Hola! I’m up in here once again to blog up some things in my inventory that need not stay in there forever and ever. It’s actually quite the sunny day outside right now, but I’ve been feeling like my only time available for blogging or taking pictures are rainy days. Rainy days for me would be days without any sports or social activities going on and I can take the time to put together a post. I’d love to be out in the Sun today, but it’s deceiving as it’s a bit cool today at 31°F. Thus, you get a post from me! Are you excited!? Okay now calm down your excitement because my pics are not that amazing. Let’s get into it:

Refresh

Good day everybody! I’m back at it again. I’m forcing myself to blog today because there are so many items in my inventory that are just sitting there asking me to blog. It’s like a giant bird’s nest with little baby birds peeping to be blogged. For the look I’m tossing at you today, I thought I’d go a little lighter than normal. Most of my posts tend to be a bit on the darker side and, as I look outside where there’s snow as far as the eye can see, I thought I’d try to blend in and get a little lighter.

Meadows and Spring

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of S/S10 campaigns showing up as the F/W11 shows kicked off this weekend. It’s feeling very wintery today here. I just lifted the blinds to see if it’s still snowing and you bet your bootay it is. It’s definitely a perfect day to just stay in the house and I felt like I needed to get a touch of spring into this latest post. So let us get into this:

Yes… More Black

Or should it be… YES! MORE BLACK! Well, this I guess depends on you and what sort of colors you love. I’ve been all about the blacks lately. My last 2 posts were all black. Well, the scarf on the pea coat from Mr. Poet and a stripe of the shoes from Redgrave were brown, so at least there was some color in there. I can promise you that there will be some browns and blues dominant in my next post, but let’s get into and past this one first:

NYE 2010

You know you’re either doing it right now or are going to do it some time today. I’ve done it a few times where I’m searching and searching, but break down and just go with an old standby. You need to find that suit that’s going to get you through New Year’s Eve. Often I’ve found my suit 30min before shoving off to a NYE party. Thankfully I had this one cleaned, pressed, and sent my way c/o Jura Shepherd for Shiki Designs, so let’s get into it:
