Online petition for Intellectual Property Rights Protection in SecondLife
2008-03-02 03:18:00
The petition is for changing the Second Life Terms of Service "to disallow creation and use of objects that are intended to circumvent object permission as established by the object's creator". There are few existing objects/scripts that can change the permissions of objects created by somebody other than the current owner. The problem is that these scripts can be easily abused, even though the primary reason for their creation is not to assist in content theft and there is no violation of the ToS by the creator. It the ToS is changed, then probably the number of cases where theft has occurred will be significantly lower. The petition only requires your Second Life name and email address, which you can set to private to your convenience. And it only takes few seconds of your time. Just fol

Content theft - the fight continues
2008-03-01 01:40:00
Few days ago, the Intellectual Property Rights Awareness Campaign was launched in order to promote awareness and educate as many SL residents as possible about content theft and its consequences. For this purpose, several ads were made that feature some of the well established content creators that were victims of content theft - Tigerlily Koi and Haedon Quine of Calla, Minnu Palen of Minnu Model Skins, Sachi Vixen and Damen Gorilla of Adam n Eve, Caliah Lyon of Muse Fine Jewelry, Nyte Caligari of Nyte'N'Day, and Stroker Serpentine of Strokerz Toyz. You can join this campaign and help reaching fellow SecondLifers by picking up your IP rights campaign kit, which can be found on OnRez, as well as in-world. You can distribute the ads to your friends, to other content creators, to your group

OMG, I'm such a DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
2008-02-28 16:07:00
In the previous post I was whining about how my PC is acting weird on me and that I cannot take photos. Well, it was all my fault. I FORGOT TO INSTALL DIRECTX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now how dumb is that?!?!?!? Anyway, this means that I'll be able to continue blogging afterall. YAY!!! Still the photos are far from perfect and a bit of too pixely for my taste, but they are not so disastrous.Now, isn't this sooo much better :D:D:D


I REALLY, REALLY NEED A NEW PC
2008-02-25 18:30:00
I know I was supposed to post this a lot earlier, and I apologize for that, but here it goes. Because of my crappy laptop, and because SL hates me and is getting worse and worse for me (PC requirements wise), I have to pause working on this blog for a while, or at least posting photos. The photos from the last few posts (Another Shop skin mods by Imperial Elegance, Mourning Glory, and Do a good deed today - donate to charity) were taken from my bf's PC, but unfortunately he doesn't get his butt off his PC, so if I want to take photos, I either need to stay up all night, or wake up at abnormal times like 5 or 6 a.m. to do my work. So just as a demonstration so you can understand my decision better here are two photos of the same hair by GuRL 6 - one taken by me and the other one taken from

GLAM SL Magazine has finally arrived!!!
2008-02-12 09:59:00
I have been waiting for this moment sooo impatiently, since I first got the notice. And now its finally here. And I didn't waste a moment to start browsing its pages. I got to say I am pretty damn impressed. It is probably the most professional SL fashion magazine to date. And its only the first issue. I just got two objections. Its just too short to satisfy my appetite (which is on incredibly high level, so you can just scribble this out), and its got far too many advertisements compared to the amount of other content. Apart from this, content wise, I think they did their homework and pass with flying colors :D. Nice articles, great interviews. Even now I can't wait for the next issue LOL. Without further ado, read on - Glam SL Magazine . This is a video from the fashion show from the


Another Shop skin mods by Imperial Elegance
2008-02-08 11:51:00
Seems like Sai Pennell doesn't take a break. Always busy, busy, busy, releasing new items. And most importantly, she never forgets her fans and group members. This week, apart from the big amount of poses, she has released five modified Another Shop skins. The skins are gorgeous. I just love the makeup colors. They are only 1L$ each, or if you are a member of the Imperial Elegance group, you can get them for free (just click the poster in the shop). Also the hair in the photo is a freebie from GuRL 6. It is a Valentines day gift called Candyhearts, which includes all hair colors. ~*~* wearing *~*~ hair: Candyhearts in Peachy by GuRL 6 eyes: Intense Violet/Obsidian Eyes by Sin Skins skins: Fall Leaves Skin :: Spring Sakura Skin :: Playful Summer Skin :: Spring Reborn Sk


Mourning Glory
2008-02-06 15:44:00
I'm not much into gowns, but when I saw the Mourning Minnu Gown by Kyoot Army, my jaw dropped. Literally. It is pure perfection. It is combination of the Wilted Wednesday Vest and the Exquisite Corpse Gown, made by Minnu Palen's request. It costs 350L$, comes only in black, and can be bought from the MMS shop. The skin worn with it was made specially for this gown. I must admit, in my opinion, it is the best skin so far by MMS. It costs 1200L$, pale skintone only, and can be found next to the gown. ~*~* wearing *~*~ hair: Crush in Blackgloss by GuRL 6 eyes: Intense Violet/Obsidian Eyes by Sin Skins skin: MMS Pale Mourning Minnu Skin by MMS gown: Mourning Minnu Gown by Koot Army shoes: Black Stiletto Pumps by Sylfie's Prim Seduction


What to do in case of an earthquake
2008-02-03 20:29:00
Well not a literal one, but the one that has been shaking SL lately involving the copyright infringement. Absolutely everyone is panicking and feeling kinda edgy. Designers are feeling underappreciated and try to do everything that is in their power to protect their creations. Some feel they are the next ones on the thieves' list, whilst others are even scared that they are going to be falsely accused for copying at one point or another. One person (not a designer) even accused me of harassment. And I have never even uttered a single word to her, nor remember seeing her. Talking bout brain damage. That's how far this has gone.The protests haven't helped much. All the stolen items are up in the thieves' stores again, just like nothing has happened. Still he is in denial and thinks that he i


STOP THE LEECHERS!!!
2008-02-02 19:19:00
If you are a designer or just a concerned customer, I just created a group that you can join called PROTEST AGAINST CONTENT THEFT. Ashia Tomsen, Sasy Scarborough and Cat Magellan, with their negotiations, might have won this battle against the thief Centuriaro Romano (who has removed all the skins from his shops), but the war is far from over. That's why this group was created.Show your support for this cause by wearing your group tag. Spread the word. Buy only original content. Don't sell stolen content. Create and sell your own creations. All group members can post notices, so that if content theft is spotted, even offline members will get the info. All the group members can send invitations to the group. Discussions about this issue is allowed in group chat. STOP THE LEECHERS!!! DON'T L


CALL TO ALL SECOND LIFERS - ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH
2008-02-02 15:51:00
Texture stealing has been an issue in SL for quite some time. But now it seams that it has reached its culmination. All the designers are revolted, and everyone shows their displeasure in different ways. MM Skins stopped the creation of new skins, and PopFuzz closed the store. Not only the designers, but this affects greatly the customers as well. The number of thieves and stolen textures are growing rapidly. But the question is when it is going to stop??? When Linden Labs are going to do something about this??? Huge percentage of the SL economy relies on this, so they do have a lot to loose if this continues. And will the thieves ever think for a bit and put themselves in the place of the creators??? They put a lot of effort and time in creation of these textures, and by this theft they a


Happy Birthday Fashion Consolidated!!!
2008-01-31 14:09:00
I know I am a bit late, but I spent whole day freebie hunting :D. It was a helluva exhausting task. Surprisingly, a lot of freebies are still available. I managed to grab quite a lot, though not as much as I wanted to LOL. I haven't even seen them yet, but I will get to it right away. And post pictures, of course. Also I want to thank all the generous designers that participated in probably the most massive freebie giveaway in the history of SL, and a special thanks to FashCon for being the best group there is.

Bewitched Hair continue their secret sale with even more hair added to the previous discount list. As well as in the previous one, there is hair for only 1L$ in each section, but you will need to find it yourself. Or you can just ask around , there are always people kind enough to help you. Still haven't checked it out since the previous sale, but I'll surely will, since I love the hair there, especially the bright colors. Also some bad news. Glitter 'n Glam is closing, but they do have a sale. Honestly, when I heard about the sale it was the first time I actually heard about this shop, so I am not really sad to see them go, although it is a pity. They do have some nice swimsuits there, jewelry and shapes. I got a skull bikini and a leather belt cuff bracelets.

WARNING!!!WARNING!!! A fashion disaster in the vicinity! eeek
2008-01-15 16:06:00
Be very cautious all you fashion clueless avs, because the Second Life Fashion Police is always on the lookout for new victims. If you are noticed, run, i.e. TP, as fast as you can, unless you want to receive the bashing of your life. Somebody was ought to teach those fashion freaks a lesson. The girls are absolutely hilarious. No hair on their tongue, that's for sure. And the best thing is that apart from getting a good laugh, you'll be also getting tips on how NOT to look like in SL. Actually the biggest reason why I checked this blog out in the first place is to see if by any weird twist of fate I'm there. And thank god I'm not. Not that I was worried that I would be there LOL.So if you happen to see a fashion disaster, do send them an email. The more fashion crime reports, the merrier


Bershka
2008-01-12 07:54:00
Finally I got around to continue writing about Bershka. As I said previously, the clothing is extremely inexpensive. The most expensive item costs L$40. The clothing here are preppy, formal and elegant, consisting of mostly tops and jeans/pants. Very few skirts and shoes, no accessories, and also I don't recall seeing any dresses. The clothes are good quality, very simple, nothing extravagant, mostly plain colored, though with good design. This makes them perfect for combining them with almost anything you got in your inventory, even with more extravagant pieces, so you can still keep your sense of style.


Its been a long time....
2008-01-08 21:17:00
since my last post. But I'm back now. I hope everybody had a good time during the holidays, and I wish all of you a successful new year, full of joy and happiness. Currently I am preparing new content for the upcoming posts, and also for a new blog. Yup, thats right, a new blog. The concept will stay the same, only the world will change ;)Till the next post :):):)


Bershka in SL
2007-12-19 18:21:00
I can't believe how lost in space I am. I have been in SL for like 10 months (actually like half of that since I did a huge break from SL because of my hectic RL), and I just found out that one of my favorite RL brands has a sim in SL. My closet is cramped with clothes from Bershka since this store is like a blessing for my wallet. Cheap, but extremely, totally amazing clothes. The same goes for their virtual store. I just couldn't believe how extremely cheap they are. All the clothes are around L$30, which makes them perfect for newbies and tight budgeted fashionistas. But to my big surprise, the whole sim was creepily empty. Totally deserted. I was the only one there, FFS!!! Sooo unlike the RL store, in which you have to wait for half an hour at the cash register (at least here in Thessa
