Still alive! I'm sure nobody was actually concerned but here's a reassurance anyway, I live, and if my outfit is anything to go by, so does grunge.

First off though, I am so very excited about the newest version of Firestorm, which includes all sorts of good things, but particularly the new Layer Limits which allows you instead of, 5 jackets, 5 alphas, 5 socks, and so on, a total of 60 of any combination of system clothing layer. For us mesh body wearers, what this means is, ALL THE MAKEUP, since we're basically otherwise just wearing like, an alpha or two. Sooo the effect is a bit subtle but I have PILED on the auxiliary face tattoos. I've got extra moles, and a thing that makes my nose more buttony, and TWOOOOO eyemakeups, and a lipstick AND a shader to make my open mouth look more natural. AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING. Seriously I am mad excited about this.

I ended up dressing like a moody teen from getting dressed around my SL mom, Christa Echos. This put me in an understandably rebellious mood, and then we went to Kustom9, which, idk if this was official or planned, but seemed to have a nice 90s grunge motif going on, and that's where I got the plaid shirt and cropped top combo by Amitomo, the tank includes a color-change HUD too. My hair by Olive and shorts by Monso are from where we went next, Shiny Shabby, and were serious must-have items.

My boots I have actually featured before, by Bubble, and are appropriately called My Fav Boots.

For Strawberry Singh's Monday Meme: Yearbook Smile Challenge 

My smile here actually doesn't use any emoters or such. It's actually achieved with various changes to my shape, plus an openmouth alpha, and two sets of teeth (one mesh, one flat, to fill in the gaps). It's based on me when I was about 17 and going through my half-hearted late 90s goth phase and messy hair, and my husband just looked over and said it looked like me. So that was nice.

Not everyone was set up yet when I visited the blogger's preview of the Geeks n Nerds fair, but there was plenty there to keep my geeky nerdy wallet occupied - it's an event I've been looking forward to since I first heard about it a month or so ago.

My dress is my Katat0nik and is available in various bright colours who assorted comicbook onomatopoeic sound effects emblazoned across the front. Here I am wearing the rather nonstandard BSOD, which I forbade Persephone Paine over at Dressing in Pixels to wear because she has a Mac and thus does not understand the torment of the Blue Screen of Death. It has binary code on the sleeves which my husband pointed out hexadecimal would be more appropriate and I pointed out that he sucks. It was a good exchange. Anyway the dress is fitted mesh, and rigged to fit the Slink Physique mesh body, which is rad.

Also rad are my nails, which are by Fetch and look like rupees from the Legend of Zelda games, and my cool Yoshi-inspired earrings from Frogstar - part of a line including matching necklaces and nail appliers available at Geeks n Nerds.

My hair is blue because I wanted it to be (it is in RL too!), but I left my stubble red because Niv is after all a true redhead. The facial tattoos by Wicked Peach I chose as an elegant alternative to piercings. 

Second Spaces as always hits the mark for humorous everyday clutter with the excellent box of junk you see at my feet, which I have paired for aesthetic value with an older item of hers, a broken monitor.

Geeks n Nerds Fair opens to the public at midnight SLT on November 24th 2014.

lotd150814 - Post 100!

Goodness, 100 posts already?! Well. I say "already", but this blog is actually ancient-ish, and for most of its life inactive. Most of those 100 posts have come in two stints, this year and last. This one feels most like I'm doing it right. I've got nice people who think I'm good enough to give me stuff (there's a list over there -->), I'm on a couple of feeds, I've got people who actually really do come and look at me, and most importantly of all, it doesn't feel like a chore. 

I know I'm still properly smalltime, but 100 posts in, for the first time in years, I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

If you're reading this: Thank You.
