In the meadow

Summer hasn't quite arrived yet. For some reason the sky seems determined to stay gray and moody; keeping me away from the beach and that cute swimsuit I've begged my dad for.

Even though it's dull, it's not too cold for a pretty summer dress. This one from Somnia is perfect. It's short, flowing and any of the colours in the fatpack would brighten up anybody's day. I chose pink because it's my favourite, but you can choose from a generous selection.

I changed my hair too. Like it?
I've been blonde for so long that I really fancied a change, so I chose this warm brown from Wasabi Pills. I love the casual, soft look and I just adore the bangs.

I took a little day trip to a gorgeous little sim called Eternity which is a gorgeous country themed sim which feels very retro and summery. I found it through Asthenia Pinnazo's blog and fell in love. If you get a chance please go and see it for yourself. Hidden in the long grass around the lake are tons of spots to sit and relax or to take photographs.

Here's hoping summer is here soon.

Swimming in the sea hole

Hey Girls! 

This is my first post on GforGirl and I am really excited to be here. 

I'm Wendy Riaxik (Wendy Densmith in search) and I'm sixteen years old. I am blogging here to represent the roleplayed teens of second life, and I will be hunting down all of the funky and fun stuff that is suitable for teenagers. I'll also be telling you all about some really brilliant places targeted at teens. If you have any ideas you can comment on any of my posts, IM me in-world or email me wendydensmith@gmail.com

So... 

Don't you just hate it when you find a new store to love, and then learn that it is closing for good. 

Yeah, it happened to me today. 

I was scanning through some feeds and blogs looking for somewhere to shop for some cute summer clothes that my Dad would approve of. It's heating up and I really wanted something cute and casual to wear whilst I hang out with my friends.  

I'm sixteen and I really don't think dad would let me out of the house in a short skirt or low cut tank. So, when I found this post on Seraphim about The Sea Hole's closing sale I decided to go and see if they had anything on offer that would work. 

I am really glad that I did because I managed to pick up these shorts and the gorgeous retro blouse for just 50 L each! I also picked up a few other things that I will try to show you before the weekend. 

The pieces are amazing quality with fab textures. I especially love the texturing on the shorts and the fact that there are so many styles and choices in the store. The blouse is mesh and comes with a variety of sizes. I usually wear a medium and this one fits perfectly. 

If you haven't checked out The Sea Hole before now then please do go and take a look before it closes. I wish I had found it sooner and I just know that I'll be spending a lot of time and Lindens there before it goes forever. 

♥♥ Love Wendy ♥♥

Hair Fair 2012 - Discord Designs

My favourite thing about SL is the creativity. I love seeing creators who stretch the limits of the tools, simply to see what they can do. I love to see somebody find a workaround to ensure that they can create the item that they envisioned. I also love to see the detail that comes from somebody working so hard to make their idea a reality.

One person who has always awed me with her determination to break the mould and do something different is Kallisti Burns of Discord Designs. In the time that I have known Kallisti and her store I have seen her break many of the rules, designing hairstyles that I have never seen elsewhere and brining us some of the most realistic braids on the Grid. 

For this years hair fair Kallisti has gone one step further, uploading some fantastic mesh hairstyles.

The two styles above are just a selection of the goodies available a Discord Designs' Hair Fair location. The first is my solid favourite, Dhilon. I adore the ruggedness of the style. It's messiness adds the the realism. 

The second is Bouncer. A style that I was lucky enough to see some of the creation process. Bounder is a mohican style, created to resemble a close cut with many individual spikes. Again I love the realism. 

All of the styles on offer come complete with hair-bases that are designed to follow the design from the mesh onto the avatar. The braids have a base resembling the natural pulls of a scalp with tightly braided hair. Bouncer has a shaved scalp. 

Kallisti never lets a detail go, which guarantees you quality hair.

Copyright issues affect all of us within SL. 

Designers and content creators watch as their hard work is stolen. Those thieves then go on to resell the creations under their own names, also stealing the credit. Or they might give it away for free and full perms. Either way the original designers are then hit with a loss in sales.

Honest shoppers are then stung. They find their favourite stores closing. They find prices rising whilst designers struggle to cover the costs of their losses. Those costs ranging from legal action to simply having to retire stolen stock. 

Eventually we will all be affected. We will lose the fresh content we all need to keep this world interesting. 

Recently Gala Phoenix of Curio was affected in a way we could never have foreseen. The DMCA process, designed to protect her intellectual property has failed her and now she is facing an expensive RL court battle to prove her rights and get her store back. 

More information here. 

Designers from across SL have come together to form One Voice. We're standing together to help Gala and to take a stand against theft. We're saying "this isn't okay." 

Come and join us. Head on over to the One Voice fair and pick up a few creations from your favourite designers. Every donation helps towards giving Gala a chance to defend her business. 

Every donation makes One Voice louder.

You know what to do.
