I think I’ve finally climbed my way out from under the avalanche of Blogger Appreciation Week gifts, and all I can say is “Thank You!”
A thousand “thank you”s to the fashion designers in Second Life who put their creativity and talent out there for all of us to enjoy; who work tirelessly to make each release better than the one before; and who spend precious personal time responding to their clients, managing update groups, dealing with failed transactions, upload issues and all of the “stuff” that goes along with running a business in SL. I know you don’t do it for the money, but for the love of creating and the joy that must come from sharing your creations with the grid.
So Thank You! Not just for these gifts, but for everything you do, everyday, to satisfy the shopaholic and wannabe-fashionista in each and every one of us bloggers.
I wish I could share with you all of the gifts that you have so generously given in this post, but there are simply too many and I’m still opening and trying on much of it! But here are a couple of looks that I put together using items that caught my eye right off the bat! Don’t worry, I’ll get to all of it…its just going to take some time!
Oh! One quick note. The cool frame on the top photo was created with the MechanizedLife FilterCam HUD. Its a great little tool that lets you jazz up your in-world snapshots with frames, textures, designs and other effects. You can read more about it here. Also, there’s a little contest going on for you Photoshop/Gimp types who want to try your hand at creating your own custom masks for use with the FilterCam. Read more about the L$40,000 in cash and prizes that Codie is giving away!
