Holiday decorations have arrived at Palais and are in abundance!  They have beautiful decorations!  This designer has applied her talents, which are extensive. to trees, stockings, garland and more!

The trees are so life-like it’s almost as if you could reach out and touch them.  They are virtually beautiful!

Velvet stockings that actually play Silent Night!

Customizable too!  Now you can have one specially made for that special someone you want to share time with or as a gift for a special friend!

In addition and just as b,eautiful, they have pearl garland and jeweled twinkle lights too!

Add some holiday cheer to your decor and order a unique and special gift for your friends!  Visit Palais!

Miss Refined International

I do not do voting contests – ordinarily.  There happens to be a voting portion now to the Miss Refined International contest.  Please take a few minutes to go vote for me: http://wp.me/pyh5c-uw.

I truly appreciate every vote.  We were to have created a single photograph out of a few photographs of us – one from when we were new avatars and one as we are now.  We were to put specific wording on the photograph as well as our names.  I’ve got to say I am not the greatest with Gimp, I don’t own Photoshop, and photo editing/graphics is not my strength.

I am a little disappointed that there appears to be a popularity component to the competition.  I’ve worked very hard on the challenges and had hope that this would be a truly revealing competition, not just one for beauty or popularity.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, so I’m going to make an effort.

My dear friend Miaa Rebane, a Miss Virtual World candidate, was presented, along with all of the other candidates on Saturday.  There is an excellent interview with her on this website: http://missvirtualworld.info/2009/11/up-close-and-personal-5/comment-page-1/#comment-15.  The interview displays a wonderful side of Miaa.  She is intelligent, sweet, talented, beautiful, and stylish.  Take a few minutes to read through it – you’ll be glad you got a chance to know her a bit more!

Best wishes to you, Miaa!

As things draw closer to the final decision on the Miss Refined International Competition, the challenges are starting to be issued!  The first challenge is to create a blog dedicated solely to the day in the life of a model and thoughts on the competition.

Between posting for OFA and MRI, real life work, and second life modeling schedules I hardly have time to breathe!  That’s why this blog isn’t receiving much attention atm…please visit Refined Rendition for more up-to-date info!

Next on the Schedule: Narkissos 4

Pleasure Ever After Anyone?

I was recently introduced to a new store in Second Life that has amazingly ornate designs and styles for your home to help fulfill your fantasies.  Not only that, but it has the animations engine to back it up.  The store?  Palais.

When arriving at the landing point, I was in awe of the castle’s atmosphere.  After walking up a bridged walkway you enter the castle.  Going to the left you will  find beautiful rugs and rug/pillow combos.  The quality, down to the most minute detail, is very much a part of these designs.

Leading away from that room and continuing upstairs to the next floor, you find several raffles for prizes and lots of midnight madness boards in addition to beautiful beds and gorgeous artwork.

Powered with the TNT animation system, the designs have 52 menus, 276 poses, 58 objects, and 279 animations.  Also included is the TNT cuff system.

Right now, they have a promotion going on where you can enter to win 5 free Palais rugs or beds fully equipped with the TNT animations sex engine.  The only catch is you have to be 30 days old to enter.

While touring the store, I met the creator and owner of Palais.  She has been building since the first day she came to Second Life.  The store itself has been open approximately 6 weeks now.  The work is amazing.  This is an experience you don’t want to miss.  TP over to Palais and check out the amazing engines and beautiful ornate designs yourself!

How old is too old?

This bothers me every Halloween.  Perhaps it’s just me, but I can’t help but wonder, how old is too old for children to be trick or treating?  It bothers me to see kids obviously 15, 16, or 17 out gathering candy.  In fact, those who were those ages ringing our bell last night looked a little sheepish about the whole thing themselves.  Most of the teenagers weren’t even dressed up!  For heaven’s sakes, at least make an effort.  Is it just me?

Someone is losing their mind…

I know it’s SL and we all go through spells of sanity and insanity.  At least, I do!  However, someone has decidedly lost their mind at the moment.  All hair and shoes at Vignette is currently free!  Yes, you read correctly, free!  The owner, Rachel, sent out a note that stated after years of loving SL, she has decided to give back.  Her way of giving back is by making all of her shoes and hair free!
I know the sim has been full and is horridly laggy.  It is worth dropping in before she gains her sanity and charges again though!  Hahahaha.

Along those lines, it should be noted there is a tip jar at the hair store.  If you appreciate her products and take advantage of her generosity, tip what you can!  Show her it pays to be kind.  Oh yeah, and pass this tip on. ;)
