I went to Paris 1900 tonight... many crashes well, those things happen. Many anachronisms also, like the Buren columns, not only are they not near the Eifel tower but they were build something like 80 years later :)
There was a concert at the Moulin Rouge that was quite good.
And, ho... I am considering letting my SL hair grow... this is much more complicated than in RL: you have to see a hairdresser to do so! At last, I found something that is not easier in SL :) So, for the moment, my hair is just slightly longer...
I've found a lovely free broomstick at Little Heaven !
This is really funny riding it in my Halloween cute witch costume... SL flight capabilities work very well with this !
Last Sunday, I've been looking for transferable things for Rimco's birthday gift.. This was difficult finding good stuff cause nice designs are generally no transfer items. Too bad :-(
Today, I found this shop *Pochette and they do transferable items, yeah ! Even a whole lot of complimentary knitted socks... They rock !
Oh, and I also met Sayuri Cremorne from Sugar Cube at the opening of their new shop. I'm a Sugar Cube collector :) This girl is really talented and so nice... I'm really happy to have met her. This made my day !
I visited a pirate ship today !!! (here's a slurl not far from her)
This is really a great ship... unfortunately, no pirate to meet there :)
I went to the lost gardens of Apollo last night. This is a great place and I haven't finished to explore it...
Some parts of these architectures make me think of Schuiten and Peeters "Cities of the fantastic"... I enjoy their work very much btw so here's a link:
I discovered Avilion Grove last night. This is a very well done sim but maybe a little heavy... I met a dragon avatar there (wow, impressive: I missed the pic) and a cute deer family... I know how to make sunrise now. Yes it's possible even not being a witch (unless this has to do with my Halloween dress!).
After two weeks of multiple connexions to SL (3 to 4 times a week or so !), I must confess that I like it, but I also dislike a certain number of things... I still feel completely overwhelmed by SL appeal though.
What I like:
- This is a whole universe to explore and some parts (I should call them "sims" now) are really creative. I've always liked exploring Irulde Realm (in Zelda game) and this makes me feel the same... Curiosity killed the cat. I should remember :)
- I can identify to my avatar and build her own style corresponding to my tastes... so I'm her, she's me... this is fun even if really confusing.
- There are so many people to encounter. I've met wonderful people already: caring, generous, interesting, friendly...
- There"s still room for creation: from graphic design to business or communities, there are so many possibilities...
- I miss a "best places of SL" guide, for this is difficult to avoid visiting uninteresting places.
- You can't visit only PG places as some "mature" places are really interesting and a "mature" rated place does not necessarily include violent ou sexual things...
- Some people may feel desinhibited in there and some may be really rude. You can be asked to have sex by an intruder right in the middle of an interesting discussion about opera with a charming vocalist. You can also be "bombed" or noise spammed while creating things quietly... I may be over sensitive but this really bothers me...
- A great number of people are "like the others"... does everybody really want to look the same, really ? On the good side of it, I can select easily who I'd wish to talk to :)
- This is so appealing that I could spend hours in there... without noticing RL is going on !
Well, I wanted to build something as I recently learned that there were places where to build in SL.
My first attemps in pure creation are... well... first attempts :) Better not show...
Usually you build things in a "sandbox" place but I discovered, by chance, a whole island where you can build ! Well, this gave me the idea of putting together a house and a worshop and a shop (I wish I could do that in RL). And I am rather satisfied by the result. Several people stopped by and told me this was an unusual style in SL and that they like it. Here it is...
Someone had the very good idea to release this free japanese garden. How cute ! I instantly installed it before the great window. This make the "beach" side of the house very stylish... Take a look by yourself :)
I updated my profiles, both here and in SL with pictures of this set...
