For any Second Life Fashion blogger, there is one item you absolutely need and which makes your life so much easier, it is a posing stand. Basicly, you drop your poses in it and scroll through them to choose the one which will compliment your outfit the best. Poses are so important to make good pictures. I cannot imagine going on blogging without my dear [Tillie] Posing Stand. I have it for years and it has never failed me. For beginners, it is even delivered with poses from reknown poses shops, being Diesel Works and Glitterati.
Occasionnaly, Tillie Ariantho is adding new features to her creation and you automatically receive a new box full of wonders. The last 4.0 version is bringing a very neat option: “[new] light/huds: You can now click a button in the blue LIGHT menu and on the hud LIGHT page to make lights follow the nearest avatar: button FOLLOW. This will make the light always being directed towards the nearest avatar.” I just love that. For a long time I have been avoiding playing with spotlights in Second Life because I was finding it too long to set up. Nuw, you just click a button and it is set. I don’t see how to make it easier.
While snapshotting the picture in world was easier, I had a bit more trouble to rework the light and shadows (dodge and burn) in Photoshop as there are three sources of light. For the rest, I have kept the same postprocessing method I usualy do, that is cleaning the picture than playing with curves (a lot), adding contrast, vibrance and then lowering the saturation. Here below, you see the raw shot before working on it.

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, coldLogic has a huge release this week with several dresses, tops, skirts, rompers, and more. For this picture, i have chosen the moffet dress in purple. At first, the colors of the outfit were rather sweet, lilac and mint but then, I have used a windlight setting showing more contrast. It is a bit different from my usual photographies but I enjoy to experiment with filters and I was finding interesting the additional drama provided by the strong shadows.

That’s it! The Gacha mania has struck me at The Arcade event. For prices ranging from 25 L$ to 100 L$, you can buy items made especially for the event. It is a game. Each time you buy from a machine, you receive one no copy transferable version of an item. There are several colors and some are common while other are rare. I was lucky to get the Thruth hair in blonde fade, boots from ISON in red and the skirt from The Sea Hole in crimson so I was able to combine them to create this outfit.
As soon as I have seen the League Corset availabe at the Whore Couture Fair, I had to get it to complete this look which was way too lovely, romantic and adorable before. It needed some strong sexiness. I have braved the lag to get my corset. Be warned it is awfully crowded as The Arcade is.
Of course, I couldn’t be reasonable and stop the gacha mania at that point. I have played and played again, even getting three times some rare colors for the ISON boots. Fortunately, Yard Sales are being organized to resell the colors you don’t like or the ones you had in double. I am selling my extras here and there. The prices there are monitored. You have to sell the gacha for the same price you have bought them which is pretty fair for the designers and still allows you to buy more gacha or get the colors you are missing.
There are a lot of other items at The Arcade. It is a very fun event for everyone.
