Seething – LOTD #267

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, so it’s been another while since I did a LOTD post.  I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and I put together a picture.  I uploaded it to Flickr, and then tried to embed it into my blog, as I have done since I got Flickr.

I usually make my LOTD photos private, that way they don’t show up on my Flickr feed until after the blog post has published.  Except now it doesn’t work that way.  -.-

Flickr has changed the rules without any notice once again.  Now in order to embed a photo I have to make it public.  Which is what I was doing, but AFTER my blog post published.  There are those of us who like to work ahead, and have our posts scheduled, rather than hitting ‘publish’ as soon as we are done.  There is something called a ‘guest pass’ that is supposed to let you have an embed code for a private photo, but I couldn’t get it to work correctly (or at least, it may work as Flickr intended, but it doesn’t work as I need it to).

So now, I have two choices – I can make my photos public in order to obtain the embed code so I can add them to my blog post, or I can find an alternative to Flickr. Well, three choices, I suppose – one other being that I could go back to just uploading my pics directly to WordPress.

I originally began adding the photos to Flickr and then embedding them in order to save space on my free WordPress account – you only get 3GB of storage with WordPress, which goes pretty quick when you are taking hi-res photos with large file sizes.

After scanning my way through the mind-numbing Flickr forum, it appears the change was triggered because the embed code they provided violated their own TOS.  (I’m still not clear on why.)

I’ll have to do a few more photos and see what option I think is the best for me.  I can upgrade my WP account to get more space – perhaps once I get closer to the limit, it might be worth it.  We shall see.

In the meantime, my photo turned out to be pretty prophetic – I was seething myself by the time I figured all of this out!!  Instead of 15-20 minutes, I spent several hours reading and searching.  Gah!

Armed & Dangerous – LOTD #235

Swords poised, she waited.

Eyes narrowed, lip curled into

a snarl, she feinted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that we have entered the holiday season, I find myself with too much do to and not nearly enough time to do it all.

I bought this outfit ages ago just discovered it sitting in my inventory.  The armor is from Flecha, part of a gacha set at the recent Jackpot Gacha event.

I love the texture of it, the appearance of well-worn metal.  It came in several different colors, and I was lucky enough to get a set in the red and the blue.

I found the accessories after digging in my inventory.  The horns are from Tabou Irresistible and the swords are so old, I have no idea where I got them, sorry.

The boots I picked up a long time ago from Yasum, but they are still fabulous.  The eye makeup is from White Widow – I love their stuff.

My hair is a recent release from Truth (my favorite hair store).  And even though I’m not wearing my mesh body or head, I lucked out and didn’t have to do a lot of post-processing to get rid of jagged edges.

The rest of the photo came about from me playing with my newly acquired ‘erase green screen background’ skills. 😛

LOTD #105

We ❤ Roleplay is open, and I picked up a few items there last week.

I picked up a cute set of candles from aisling, which I showed in a previous LOTD.

I also grabbed this Magic Potions Shelf from them.

I love the detail and the textures of the item.

This costume is something I bought quite a while ago (I can’t remember where).

The sigil on the floor I picked up at Genre a few rounds ago.

Abracadabra!

The second pic gives a better view of the costume from May’s Soul.

The bra & thong have a HUD, so you can choose from gold, bronze, black, or silver metals.

There is a regular drape, shown here, and a sheer version is also included.

LOTD #95

This cute little number is a costume I picked up at a Fantasy Collective Round (I think).

The top is a tad risqué, so I tried to find a pose that didn’t leave everything hanging out. 😀

However, I can certainly see using this in a routine.

Skin: Eye Candi – Nina – Tone 4

Shape: Laqroki – Glow (modded)

Eyes: IKON – Utopia – Pale Cerulean

Eyeshadow: White Widow – Earth – Black/Blue

Eyelashes: Gaeline – Divina

Lipstick: Shine – Teeth Tattoo – Sexy

Costume/Hairpiece: Luas – Sia Blue

Pose: Purple Poses

Here’s another shot of the outfit.

This angle gives you a bit more detail of the front as well as the hairpiece.

You could even wear the top pieces with a mermaid’s tail.

Or skip the bra top for that ‘Irresistible Siren’ look. 🙂

LOTD #93

I’m still busily working through my inventory.

This week I’m focusing on items that I’ve picked up in the last several months at various events.

If you haven’t heard yet, and you’re a Purple Moon fan (and who isn’t, right?!), there is an Easter hunt going on right now at the store.

Head on over and pick up some great items!

This sassy little number is a corset I picked up from Zenith (I’d tell you what event, but frankly, I can’t recall).

The gold accents are fantastic and the hourglass figure provided by the corset is to die for!
