FaMESHed is turning one this month. No doubt it is one of my most favorite events. Every month Fameshed brings you some of the grid’s top mesh content creators with original mesh designs.
For their first birthday they have invited back all of the designers that have participated in FaMESHed this past year. So you will find over 50 designers under two beautiful tents with all original mesh content.
It’s a must visit this month! Now here are some informative links about FaMESHed:
Finally, I just wanted to say congratulations to the organizers of this event for doing such a wonderful job this past year and for introducing us to some awesome original mesh content creators. Thanks so much guys and wish you another year of success! <3

Fantasy Faire 2013 starts on Saturday, April 20th. Over 140 of SL’s talented designers are coming together to bring you this magical event!
Draxtor Depres has come back with another epic episode of his Drax Files, this time focusing on Fantasy Faire. You will see some beautiful imagery of the builds from this event along with an interview with event organizer Zander Greene. I found this video especially inspiring and it really shows a very generous and caring side of SL residents. You can view the episode at this link but I’m also embedding it below: http://youtu.be/yjzG9g8PNFs
The gorgeous dress I’m wearing is FATEwear’s contribution to this year’s Fantasy Faire. I love the way it flows and the texturing is flawless but the best part is that 100% of the proceeds from it will go to RFL. When you visit the Fantasy Faire, you’ll find FATEwear on Titan’s Hollow. Please keep an eye on the Fantasy Faire blog for upcoming details/slurls and check out their entertainment schedule to see all of the events they have planned.
The sexy boots I’m wearing are the latest release from Erratic. I was blown away by the texturing on these, it’s so nicely done and I love that they come with a HUD to change the metal on the zipper. You can pick up a DEMO on marketplace and try them out for yourself!
There was much debate over which picture I should use for this blog post over on plurk. My friend Ms. Dove Swanson was hating on this pose (that she made 5 years ago) and trying to get me to use a different one. She said it looks like a zombie was choking me out. I’m not sure if I should be offended or get turned on by that, but in any case, I settled on this one because well…I liked it!
The mesh owl bracelet will be available for only L$50 for Fifty Linden Friday in just a few more hours. You can check out Erratic’s flickr for all the colors. If you’re wondering what else will be available for FLF this week, keep an eye on Elysium’s pinterest. She’s been doing a great job of pinning all of the events and has a separate board for Fifty Linden Friday.

I took this image about a month ago and just decided to reuse it today because I figured the frustration on my face suited the theme of this meme! :P
I have a feeling this meme might cause a bit of drama, but I figured that I’m usually pooping rainbows so I should be allowed to vent my grievances sometimes, no?
Meme instructions: Share your top five SL pet peeves. Don’t forget to link your post in the comments so I can come read!
Random teleports & “hi” offlines: To be quite honest, I am actually kind of afraid of just “hi” offlines because I never know what to expect from that conversation. I much prefer if people IM me with a full sentence of what it is they were looking for. So even when I login and all my ims are capped, I’ll remember to look you up in my email and respond because you actually said something. I will add though that I do prefer communicating via email. As for random teleports when I AM online, I cannot tell you how many times I have accidentally clicked accept and teleported into a room full of people dancing around at a party and I’m completely naked and possibly bald. Please don’t do that to me. Just ask me if I want to come by first, ty!
People who don’t read profiles: I think SL would be a much better place if people just took two minutes to read someone’s profile before contacting them. This is especially geared towards those fashion bloggers that spam designers (and their managers) with lots of notecards begging them to send items to blog or sponsor them (unless it’s written in the designers profile that it’s ok to do that). I feel that it just makes the rest of us bloggers look bad and is one of the main reasons I never ask for review copies myself. I do not want to be placed into “that” category of blogger that is just in it for the free stuff, because I’m not! My first few YEARS of blogging I PURCHASED everything I blogged. However, this doesn’t only pertain to bloggers, it’s also to those people that don’t check if the person is already partnered or in a relationship or doesn’t wish to be in a relationship before contacting them to flirt or have sex with, etc… So yeah, I would love it if people read profiles more often (especially my real world tab).
Pushy people: I am in SL to relax, take some pictures and do the work I enjoy doing. I get frustrated with people that IM me every day with the same thing over and over or when they try to sell me their latest “idea” because it’s going to make me rich and famous. I’m not in SL to make money or get famous. I am very financially stable in my real life and I don’t wish to become a hollywood or bollywood cinematographer or real world photographer. When I am logged in, I am usually in a photoshoot so if you want to IM me to just chat once in a while, that is very cool and I can totally do that but please don’t IM me to say the same thing every single day.
Morphs: I usually don’t care what other people are doing to their images or their avatars, I figure it’s their second life and I’ll let them live it. The only reason morphs are on this list is because since I started offering my photography services I get requests once in a while asking me to do morphs. I find that a bit irritating and my answer is always, NO! In my personal opinion, I think morph photography is not very attractive. An example of morph photography would be what I did to Mr. Jefferson in this photo. I took his face and I plastered it all over a real life image of Crocodile Dundee (which was probably copyrighted). Now obviously I did that as a joke because I was trying to get revenge for something he did to me. But it’s a good thing I didn’t sell that image to him or I could get myself into a lot of trouble. Anyhow, with all that being said, I DO have friends that have morphed images as their profile pictures, but I do not judge them or say anything because in the end, it’s their taste and their choice.
Facelights: I guess this is a given but it honestly doesn’t bother me as much anymore since I’ve just started to keep my local lights off in graphics settings. However, what I miss is going to a sim and really discovering the ambiance the sim designer was trying to create because now I can no longer see any of the lighting they have incorporated. I’ve had to keep it off because it’s happened that one too many times someone with a massive facelight teleported right beside me and completely blinded me. It’s even worse when you have ultra graphics and shadows on. I’ll also be honest and say when I used to see a person with a facelight or bling, I would automatically assume that they were new to SL and just didn’t know how to adjust their graphics settings (like me when I wore bling and facelights as a newbie). I know some computers may not be able to handle higher settings and I understand that, that’s why I never complained to anyone or said anything about it. I just adjusted the local lights on my end. But I do wish that the facelight trend never began. (The brilliant Sasy has left a solution for this problem in the comments and I’ve just tried it out and it works! I no longer have any issues with facelights, yay!)
Now that I’ve whined and complained, please keep in mind that all of these things only mildly irritate me because they don’t fit in to my own personal set of standards. I would never expect anyone else to adhere to my standards and if you do any of these things, I hope you don’t take my comments to heart and just know it’s my opinion and I’m not expecting anyone to change their behaviors/attitude because of it. I am a “live and let live” kind of person, so I do hope you don’t get offended and just see this as an exercise in sharing and I hope you share your pet peeves as well! I’m sure there will be lots of things I do that’ll show up on your lists.
Please remember that you can participate in any of the memes at any time. You’ll find them all under my memes category. I have also gone ahead and added them to my Blog Challenges category as well. If you go back further in this category, you will find older challenges that I did a couple of years back. You are free to participate in those as well if you like!
This month Zodiac focuses their attention on Aries. Aries is symbolized by the ram. The ram has come to represent attitude and courage. Aries natives are said to be leaders and are thought to approach life head-on. You can check out the Seraphim blog to see all that’s available at Zodiac this month.
I’m wearing the gorgeous Aries skin by Essences and the fairest of them all necklace by House of London. And my personal favorite, I’m using the confident Aries poses from Exposeur. I adore that these are so full of attitude and the best part is, they are only L$75! So take the slurl and head on down to Zodiac now.
The shoes I’m wearing are a new release from Maitreya. There is a special offer on these shoes right now if you are in the Maitreya VIP Group. When you go to the footwear/mesh section in Maitreya, you’ll notice the VIP shoes on the top shelf along with the rest of them, but they will be at a reduced price. Just make sure to enable your tag and you’ll get them at the reduced price. This promo only lasts one month, so teleport now to pick them up.
I wanted to go with a heavy eyelash with this look, but the hair I’m wearing was messing with my mesh lashes. So I decided to wear my tattoo lashes that I recently put up in my marketplace store. About two years ago I was goofing around in photoshop and created some tattoo lashes which I sent to my group inworld. Since then, from time to time, people would IM and ask me for them. I have long since deleted those ones now (I didn’t really like them). However I still kept getting requests so I made up five new ones for fun and put them up last week. You’ll find them at this link. I wear them underneath my mesh lashes for a fuller look sometimes as well. If you try them out, let me know what you think!
Finally, I wanted to bring up something that happened recently to a content creator, which I was pretty shocked to hear. Lilith Heart was recently banned from SL for 24 hours with no explanation whatsoever. I asked my friends on plurk if anything like that ever happened to them and they all responded with more of their own horror stories about being banned with no explanations. This whole thing has kind of freaked me out and I wonder how often does this happen to people? Has it ever happened to you? It’s never happened to me, but the thought of it is kind of scary.
