52 Weeks of Color Challenge ~ Week 5!

I am finally caught up with the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge (check http://lunajubilee.com/2012/01/01/52-weeks-of-color-challenge-champagne/ in case you don't know what it is yet or want to join in!) and I am so excited about moving forward with it. I was actually pretty proud of myself for getting the picture for this week done AHEAD of the scheduled time and I am blogging it on time! The color for this week is a shade called Patina. If a swatch had not been listed on Luna's blog I would have had absolutely no clue what it was and in talking to other friends they were pretty perplexed as to where it fit on the color wheel. I searched for it on the marketplace but with only 9 results in the women's apparel category total, I knew it was time to TP around and  see if any of my favorite stores were carrying the hue. I got super lucky when I landed at RezIpsa Loc (I love her work and she is SO nice!) and saw that she was actually making items specifically for the challenge! I didn't use her featured item but I did grab up the nails she had to go with and then I compared as I hopped around to a couple different stores until I was happy with my finds. I hope you enjoy this outfit picture as much as I liked putting it together! :)

52 Weeks of Color Challenge ~ Week 4!

Week three of the Color Challenge had the color Iron in store for me. I ended up asking quite a few people about what to do for this assignment and after searching the marketplace for quite a while, I came to the conclusion that I would look through my inventory and put something fun together. I hope you enjoy it! :)

52 Weeks of Color Challenge ~ Week 3!

Week three of the Color Challenge brought the color Electric Indigo. Now I had NO idea what to do for this color and I pondered over it for more than an hour before I thought about my SL daughter/RL friend Honor and it all immediately popped into place! She loves fun and funky clothes and really colorful patterns, so I decided that was the way I wanted to go with the Electric Indigo outfit. Enjoy! :)

52 Weeks of Color Challenge ~ Week 2!

Week two of the Color Challenge showcases the color Coral. While I usually shy away from this color in both real life and second life alike because I don't care for the way it looks on my skin tone, I actually had a really good time with this outfit and picture. Enjoy my picture for the second week's color!

52 Weeks of Color Challenge!

One thing that I have never really tried (maybe due to lack of motivation or laziness) in the SL world is to create a blog and keep up with doing entries on it. I have started a few in the past but a couple posts in I usually either forget about it or decide I don't have anything worthwhile to talk about so I don't get anywhere. When I heard that Luna Jubilee (www.lunajubilee.com) was doing a second running of her 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, I thought that perhaps it was the perfect opportunity for me to start a new blog and have a good reason to post as least once a week! I will hopefully be doing more posts than just the color of the week ones, but that is definitely a good motivator to not forget that this blog is here. Wish me luck!

Week one of the Color Challenge featured the color Champagne. I was slightly disappointed to find that I didn't really have too much in my inventory that fit with the color that was designated, so I set out on a shopping trip! After a little searching I found a cute pair of high-waisted pants in the exact color of the challenge assignment and went to work. I think I did pretty well for never having been involved in one of these challenges before, and below you'll see my end picture that I submitted to the Flickr group for the challenge.

Blog Post #1! :)

I never really planned to be addicted to a 'computer game'. But somehow over almost 3 1/2 years, I am still involved and dealing with the day to day happenings that occur on the virtual grid that is Second Life. I have made a few different avatars over that time and explored what SL (as Second Life is known for short) has to offer, everything from adult hangouts with R-rated material to the deeply developed world that involves children and family. I've met people who have changed my life in more ways that I can count, and I am better and worse for it. I have seen the innocence and joy in a child's eyes even though I knew the person behind the cartoon was a grown adult and I have also felt the pang of heartbreak after allowing myself to feel love and losing it. Even through all of the experiences and the sometimes drama that comes along with the 'game', I find the time in my life nearly everyday to log in and spend time with the friends I have gathered over time and enjoy all the beauty that our minds allow us to create in this digital platform. This blog was created with the intent to show people how I live my SLife and the people that mean a lot to me in it. There will most likely be posts from different perspectives as I have avatars that range from child to adult, but I hope to do my best to showcase all that my SL holds. Enjoy, and happy SLife! :)
