New SLNN article and a New Look(er) for the 'Ol Blog!

I have another article up at SLNN on the Skin Fair entitled "Skinning". I had so much fun interviewing designers and attendees! I even got a chuckle out of a man who was looking for skins for his slaves who offered to collar me when I asked him for a quote. Thank you to everyone who spoke with me! And thank you so much to my editor, Willow Caldera, who polishes my writing up and makes everything come together. (But just because she is a good editor does not mean I will let her win our chocolate wrestling match.)

You may also notice that this blog has a new look! I thought I would shine it up a bit. The look is centered around the absolutely brilliant photo taken of me by SL Photographer and blogger Looker Lumet at a party last fall. That photo has always taken my breath away - it is so surreal and the colors so rich. I am proud to have it anchor my blog. Looker is going to be one of my upcoming Great Goatee interviews, too!

Anyhoo, Happy Monday!

  1. Piffle, young lady, editing your articles is a small matter of "ctrl+c...ctrl+v" <3

    Bloody good piece, to anyone considering giving it a read!

  2. Another good article by my favorite cub reporter! And if my girl friend didn't like my current skin so much, I would be tempted to check what was at the show. But I like to keep her happy. So I will just keep wearing this old skin ;-)

    Hey, should you ask the goatee wearing hunks to divulge where their skins came from when you do the interviews?

  3. Ooh, I like Jerremy's idea. It would be nice to see where guys are skin shopping, especially since when I get asked, "Where do I get a good male skin?" my answer is usually, "...umm...I dunno, I'm a girl."

  4. Thank you Willow!! You are such a good boss!!

    Jerremy - cub reporter...hee! Bear references!! And I do love the skin you're in!

    Alicia - Maybe I should! It would be relevant since the skins have the facial hair on them. BTW - I made a list (the I will double check) of male skin designers from the Skin Fair that I will post here or possibly in an article for SLNN. (I will talk to Willow to see what works - i.e. maybe it can be part of the new fashion problem solving column we will have.)

  6. Thanks to you, Looker! That photo proves your brilliance. It tells a whole story of a woman in a fantastic place, but pausing to think about where she is...she will say something when she looks up but we don't know what. Perfect for this blog!

  7. You can say that again - interview with a prim bear, totally did not see that coming.

    Please never stop LOL!

  8. I can't tell you how relieved I am that the bear was amusing.

    That whittling story is 100% true and one of the rare times I ever got into trouble as a child.

    Jerremy is up next for an interview so I hope you are all ready. Looker is on deck.

  9. *Timothy tries to suppress his RL self, but fails miserably*

    I love the new blog look, but as a web developer I can't avoid saying that the header image is too biiiig ;)
    In my eyes, it takes away the focus from your blog content too much by covering up half of the screen (or more, depending on your screen resolution).


    *Timothy finally manages to get his RL self under control again*

    Don't listen to that silly human behind me, he's just babbling! I love your blog and especially the bear story :)

  10. Timothy - I totally agree with your RL self, but for the life of me I could not figure out how to make it smaller. Do you know how? I would love to make it smaller.
