"Grand Illusion..."
...living within my escape.
Sunday, January 25, 2009

Not all that long ago there was a plethora of bloggers paying homage to Barerose, and with good reason. For the longest time I was unable to go and spend any amount of quality shopping time at Barerose, due to a wimpy computer, but I have recently made up for that. My Barerose folder now holds dozens of outfits, and I revisit them often as their new releases come out. One of my favorite things about Barerose is that not only do you get amazing quality of items, including prim attachments to enhance each outfit, you also get it (most often) in the variety of colors they have created. Unlike most creators who set out each individual color for sale, Barerose tosses it all at you, to organize later. I do suggest you organize it, else run the risk of just skipping the outfit at a later date due to being overwhelmed by the amount of items in one folder. I didn't mind the organization task at all!

I wandered out to a small grassy area next to my new home (to be blogged about later, I love my new home!) and snapped a few shots by the gorgeous waterfall that is my front window views. I've been tinkering with the environmental settings lately and, last night as a matter of fact, downloaded the presets released by the ever fabulous Torley Linden. In the weeks to come I am sure I will be playing with them in my photography, I will include a link each time I do for you to go and get them yourself. However, the setting that I used for the pictures today were given by Redgrave with their skins. Its a fabulous setting that makes all shadows on the face disappear for photos, without the use of a face light (which drives me crazy in the first place.) If you would like the settings feel free to IM me in world, I will share them. Take a moment and check out the environmental settings for yourself and save a few of your favorite settings. You will love the changes and varieties of worlds you can create within your Seond Life.

Forgive me for the rather bland photos today. We are working on the house to prepare for the onslaught of teen age boys coming over for my brothers birthday. Halp!

Grand Illusion...
...behind the mask!

Grand Illusion, to me, is a great many things. A place to share my adventures within the grandest illusion I know, Second Life. Exploration, friends and loved ones and best of all, fashion and the addiction that is, shopping! I often spend most of my time in SL working these days, but I still find time for the fashion, for decorating and landscaping and the pure obsessive nature of it all.
