Second Life Fashion Friday: Witty Style Ideas from Jordan Whitt

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Whitt-icisms is a cleverly named blog by Jordan Whitt. Her post Beauty Is an Attitude gives us another play on words with a literal knife-edge eyeliner application. Of course, there is a knife-edge brush for eyeliner and shadow, though not one so literal as this. This picture just made me laugh because it was such a clever witticism, or should I say Whitt-icism.

• Hair - Muse from Truth
• Skin - Jasmine Skin from Belleza
• Eye Liner - Black Liners from Belleza
• Pose - Sharp from PiXit (Sabbath Event) ends June 11th

SL Friday Fashion Finds Both Classy & Sexy from LeYo

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

LeYo [MaziKeenFr] is an unusual blogger in that most of her pictures are in black and white. Not all. Occasionally she does a color picture when it’s important to present the items in color. She is a great blogger who seeks out actual clothes along with the sexy lingerie and clubwear. I love this gorgeous gown with the dramatic collar. It’s from Sascha’s Designs. The lighting emphasizes the contrast between her skin and the gown.

SL Fashion Friday: Colorful Looks from Juliette M.

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Second Life Fashion Blog may be a generic name for a fashion blog but there is nothing generic about Juliette M’s style. I love that she likes color and prints.

Here's look #498. I am not in love with the sheer over bra looks, but I think it looks great here. It suits the mood and the place. She is successful at providing a background context that really brings it all together. I always appreciate it when folks give me the ending date of events, so I know where to go, event or store. 

• Top | .:Fio’s – Chloe Top (Tres Chic event apr 17 – may 10)
• Skirt | Ascendant – Sol Skirt Fatpack
• Drink | [ENAMOUR] – PINA COLADA COCKTAIL (Tres Chic event apr 17 – may 10)

SL Fashion Friday: High School Styles Plus a Fun Pillow Fight Attachment

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

“The Halls” is the most recent post in Toxzen OwO’s Flickr Blog. I like the letterman’s jacket with the school uniform. Seeing the Class of ‘85 patch, I am guessing he’s wearing his dad’s letterman’s jacket. His knuckles are badly bruised, something explained by the title of the book.

Yes, you have to look, not a subject I recall. I wonder if someone could make a texture change letterman’s jacket that would allow you to change the numbers to any year?

I am really taken with the clothes. The set is made for Legacy+Athletic, Belleza, CZ Slim, Anatomy, and Kairo Fit

• CORDEWA - Male Class Set Available at Access (4/12-5/8) | Store LM | CORDEWA MP
• Jacket Fatpack includes: 3 Jacket and Metals, 4 Tie and 2 Shirt HUD textures, as well as Long and short ripped and a Hide/Show options
• Pants Fatpack include: 5 Pants, 4 belt, 3 metal and 2 boxer texture colour HUD options, as well as Hide/Show Boxer options.
• Shoes Fatpack include: 5 shoes, 2 laces and 3 metal HUD potions.

Second Life Blog of the Week: Lucky Spiritor Tells Stories With Screenshots -- And Creates an Impressive SL Tribute to LeBron James!

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Lucky Spiritor is an unusual Second Life blog. Most SL bloggers focus on fashion. They style an outfit, post the credits, and if they’re writers, add some text about the outfit, their inspiration, or their life. Lucky Conundrum, however, writes a story and creates pictures to illustrate and share the credits. VIII: A Twist of Fate is the most recent installment of an ongoing story called Fate and Fortune. He also writes about life, sports, music, and what else that catches his peripatetic interests.  For this picture, his alt looks slick, sleek, and ready to wreak havoc. 

• Jacket: Blueberry – Spotlight – Leather Jackets – Brown
• Pants: Blueberry – Unbothered – Pants ~ BlackDark
• Boots: Wicca’s Wardrobe – Gypsy Boot ~ Redclaw Inshan

Fantastic Friday Fashion Finds from SL Style Blogger Venus von Deep

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Venus von Deep’s blog post Ready to Pop captivated me. I love the colorful skin. It reminds me of Seventies fabrics. I am pretty sure my sister-in-law had a shift dress in a similar print. No one was afraid of color in the Seventies. I love how she commits fully to the look including the setting. It’s a very editorial picture with complete credits for the outfit and mood music. (Topic by Retrogade). Venus includes her raw shot so you can see start to finish. Click through to her blog for even more details.

Fashion Friday Finds from SL Style Blog Yurin's Happy Sigh

Yurin has a lovely blog called Happy Sigh. Her most recent post 230313 features the ubiquitous fashion passion for mesh. If you checked out the Oscar and Vanity Fair After Party fashions, mesh and illusion was everywhere with over ever shrinking strategic coverage. This is downright modest by comparison. 

• TOP + *COCO*_FishnetTopWithBra(Black) @FaMESHed which closes March 27th

Fun & Spectacular SL Sims to Visit, Selected by Susann DeCuir

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

MEIN ZWEITES LEBEN is a blog by Susann DeCuir whose fabulous picture of flamingos was featured in yesterday’s post. A link from that picture brought me to her blog, which in English is called My Second Life and it’s amazing. Simtip: Happy place by Cica Ghost (Moderate) is a recent post featuring her visit to Happy Place. Her post is thoughtful, asking us to consider what might be the intent behind what seems on the surface happy (happy place) and may, on closer consideration, be melancholy, even disconsolate.
