Flickr pool - week 5

2008-11-23T16:57:00.000-08:00

First, I'd like to apologise with my customers for being so absent lately. For the first time since I got into SL, I'm going through a creativity draught. I mean, RL has caught me in a way that I don't have time for SL, and when I do, I don't feel inspired much. I'm hoping it's just a passing phase, please be patient with me...
In the meanwhile, I'm having fun taking pictures for other designers and posting them in Flickr, and of course, checking to see what other people post in PERSONA's Flickr. This week I've chosen this one as my fave:

Thank you Cynthia Smit! You'll receive the prize of this week.

Wanna see the other pics? Go to our Flickr page. And while you're at it, see if you feel inspired to post your pics too :)

Fave of the week

More realistic avie

2008-11-09T10:19:00.000-08:00

Yes, it's really nice to see all these people as their real selves. I've always tried to make my avie look like the real me, but no matter how hard I try, my avie always ended up looking prettier, younger, slimmer, doll-like-er. It's the nature of the avies, I guess. On the other hand, our avies will never have that "it" that only human bodies in person can have, a personal charm that is unique and can only be sensed, not seen. So, we're even :)

Week03 - fave from Flickr

2008-11-08T05:55:00.000-08:00

Thank you once again for everyone that posted their lovely pics in our group! Your pics really make me happy :D

Thank you SO much everyone who added their beautiful pics to the Flickr group! I couldn't be happier with the response from you guys and LOVED every pic. But... I had to chose only one and Connie Sec won my heart this week (but I still need you avie's name, Connie :)). I was absolutely astonished by this picture:

Join our Flickr group

2008-10-19T19:23:00.000-07:00

Hey all!
I've just created a Flickr group for people who wear PERSONA products in game and like to take pictures.

Each week, I will be selecting my favorite picture and the person who posted it will receive a L$500 value in store card in game to use in any PERSONA store.

Everyone is welcome to join and post pictures of themselves or others wearing any PERSONA product. You don't have to wear only PERSONA, you're free to mix and match and add credits of other products if you want, but you have to be wearing at least one thing from PERSONA. It can be a piece of jewelry, a pose or a piece of clothing.

So, do you love PERSONA? Join in!!! PERSONA's Flickr group

Freebie Jumps (for KIDS? - Nah, get one too!)

2008-10-14T21:45:00.000-07:00

Someone asked me for a jump, to be included in the KIDS AO pack. It made all the sense to me, but how could I include it in the pack since many people already bought it as it was, it wouldn't be fair. Even if I tried to trace them all or put a note in the blog for everyone who had bought it before to IM me asking for the updates etc. Well, to sum up, I decided to give the jumps as a freebie. So now everyone can have it. Of course, I had to put a flip in that jump (hehe), which is fun, but I also included a very simple one, it's up to you. (I strongly recommend the flip, though :)

Available in 3 locations in game: PERSONA's main store, Adelebsen Isle and Hampton Heights.

New additions - customer's requests

2008-10-14T18:34:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

PERSONA's mainstore has a suggestion box (on the small table, with the freebies) which I regularly check to see what my customers have to say. I DO hear you! And I try to follow your directions as much as I can. Don't believe me? Here's proof (hehe):

Some of you asked me for a red version of the feathers set, so, here you go!

Also following suggestions, the New Edition eyes now have 4 new colours: plain black, plum, cherry and blue-plum (like Liz Taylor's) :D

Yet on requests/suggestions, I'm adding jumps to the KIDS AO, but that's for another post.

Photography - my Flickr

2008-10-07T18:46:00.000-07:00

I've always loved photoshooting my own ads, but editing is forbidden 'cuz I like the customers to see exactly what they're getting. Editing is a lot of fun, though, and I discovered I can give wings to my editing experiments on Flickr. Yay!
So I've started making a few photos for the Jewelry Expo contest and I really enjoyed it. Now I made a bunch for the Ornamental Life Lingerie-Boudoir theme. Here are some of my faves:

If you want to see the rest, go to my Flickr. I want to start a pool or something cool with prizes related to photography and PERSONA's products soon. So, stay tuned!

The KID inside

2008-09-26T18:15:00.000-07:00

It's no secret that I'm in childish mood lately. I've been having a lot of fun making AND wearing a kid's AO in the last few days. The name says "KIDS AO Pack", but perhaps I should have called it "Girly AO pack", for the pack is clearly feminine. Now, before we see the animations in a kid's avie, let's see how it looks on an adult (at least in body) avie:

the pack comes with 5 animated stands

animated walk (faster or slower)

3 animated sits for ground sit and 3 for object sit

animated hover with flip animation or without (with is more fun!); fly up animation, fly down pose and soft fly pose

and Flight animation with 360 degrees swing (WOOT). That makes a total of 19 animations inside the pack. Of course, they're also avilable individually from the vendors in the store, at 100L each.

Hope you like!

PERSONA KIDS AO Pack, available in PERSONA, SLX and Onrez.

And that's my cute child's shape: (don't I look adorable?)

The adult avie is wearing:
SKIN: *blowpop* Tuesday - Vivid Collection - Honey skin tone with Clara-Blue makeup
HAIR: PBI* the bucket, in mahogany
CLOTHES: BettiePage unisex border sweater and PERSONA Hippie Chic jeans
SHOES: Battle ready boots (sorry, the store's name was not in the pack nor in the creator's profile, and I didn't have time to go back to where I bought it. But if you like it, I found it in Dutch Doutch's mainstore, in the guest designers room)

SKIN: D-SKIN08 v1.0 - colorA - E0_M0
HAIR: BettiePage - Arranged braid hair, in brown (modified to fit the kid)
CLOTHES: CCC (Chelsea's Children Clothes) - Wintertime Sweater and Skirt

Family Portrait poseballs

2008-09-21T16:42:00.000-07:00

Now tell me, how cute is this?

So I got excited after my "Mommy's lap" pose that I decided to expand the family (following numerous suggestions, including Sasy's). My god, I loved it so much I might even do a family series! They just look so lovely!

The poseballs were originally made to fit 2 adults (one bigger and one smaller, like mom and dad) and 2 kids, boys or girls (again, one bigger for standing and one smaller in dad's arms).
The poseballs are modifiable, of course, so you could make adjustments, if needed. But let's hope you won't need to :).
When I sent the poseballs to Aradia to test them, they didn't need to make any adjustments and sent me back the picture I'm wearing in the ad. Thank you, family! You are perfect models!!

Hope you love it and have fun!

Poseballs, poses and feathers

2008-09-19T11:27:00.000-07:00

This idea came from a question in the SL Posers group (Jezebelle, I'd love to send you this pack, but I forgot your last name! If you read this, please IM me). She wanted to know about poses that you coud use with children. Imediatiadly, this image (above) came to my mind and I felt the "itching" to make it. But I didn't know any kids in SL, so Sasy introduced me to the lovely Chelsea and her mom, Aradia. It's a pity I'm not a better photographer, cuz they looked more adorable than the picture could show. I meant to capture that period in your childhood when your mommy means the world to you and there's no better place than her lap.

For a complete change of mood, this is a modeling pack I've been working on, which I really liked. Since many of the poses show difference if your wearing hells or flat shoe bases, many of them have both options in the pack.

And this is the outfit I'm wearing in the photoshoots of the last pack of poses. For now, it comes only in black. I might be doing more colours, let's see...

Polished stones jewelry and Arabella shirt

2008-09-13T08:42:00.000-07:00

I have to go out of town for my cousin's wedding this weekend, but I couldn't leave without posting my latest releases first.

The Polished Stones sets come in 6 different semi-precious stones in two different necklace lengths and each in 3 different choices of metal: gold, silver and bronze. That makes 36 different combinations. The sets come with small matching earrings (the necklaces are the stars, the earrings are just complements).
I'm not posting all the pics, just a small sample:

The Ruby set in gold are extras: the long version set is a group gift (you're welcome to join, if you're not a member), and the short version is a LuckyLetter prize (already in the main store).

Now, continuing with my Fall clothes collection, Arabella was named after another good customer, Arabella Steadham, and comes in 6 different Autumns colours. Arabella has sculpted sleeves and collar, prim waist knot (at the back) and system skirt making the bottom part of the shirt). As usual, you can expect to see all possible layers inside the packs. I really love this shirt!

All available in the main store (for now). I'll be listing it all on the web when I get back. :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Met that great someone this Summer and things are getting steady? What about some great pictures together to put in your profiles? I hope I can help:

They were originally made for boys and girls (meaning: smaller and bigger avies), but they could be used for any couple of people really. The poseballs are modifiable so you can make the adjustments, if needed. The female position is about 10% smaller than the male.

Autumn collection - part I

2008-08-31T21:15:00.000-07:00

To start my Autumn collection releases for clothes, we have two blouses and pants that can go with any of them, all sold separetely and with lots of colours to chose from. Oh, and of course, all possible layers.

Keeping with my policy of naming my clothes after random selected customers (and sometimes friends), the first blouse was named after Dove Perlmann. A sweet and delicate lace-trimmed v-neck with long sleeves:

Then there's Dita (after Dita Tran), a bold offshoulder knit jumper with sculpted cuffs and collar (shoulder detail). They may limit your moves a little bit (you'll want to keep your arms down with this one), but they look so nice it's worth it! I hope!

Finally, Barb (named after my friend Barb Carson) follows the executive business woman style: elegant and discrete. The traditional plaid patterns in sober colours go with almost any top. In the ads, I'm wearing Dove in white tucked in.

Yes, my precious!

2008-08-31T20:47:00.000-07:00

No rings, but oh, so many other precious things. What Smeagol wouldn't do for these ones?

First, my favorites, a nice set full of pieces inspired by religious accessories. My initial idea was to make a rosary to be worn like a necklace, but SL wouldn't let me link that many prims in one piece, so I had to settle for less, shorter versions of rosary-like necklaces. They're very rich in detail and the pearls colour vary according to the metal used: Cream common pears for gold, blue pearls for silver and pink pearls for bronze.

Still in the religious groove, "Mary with Diamonds" was supposed to be named "Mary in the sky with diamonds" ('cuz I'm totally devoted to the Beatles...), but again, SL wouldn't let me have that many characters in one name. Anyways, the Mary medallion has front and back as medallions usually do, and they're carefully carved with tiny diamonds.

And last, some simple hoop pendant earrings, to complete the set of previous released sculpted Babyboy and Babygirl pendant necklaces:

Want more? I do! Jewelry is my newest addiction :)

All available in PERSONA, SLX and Onrez.

We're back! - My openspace

2008-08-31T07:40:00.000-07:00

YAY!!! After... uhm... how long?... I'm finally opening access to the openspace where I built the new PERSONA store (that's right, I did it. My super builder Kamian Treskothick was super busy, but he gave a hint or two :-). Thanks, Kamian!). I can tell I hope not to move again for a long long time, at least!
AND there are a bunch of new releases for clothes, jewelry and poses! (I've been saving it all for you guys). But first, let me show you some pictures of the build:

I've devided the store in 3 main categories: 1- poses/animations; 2- clothes and 3- jewelry and accessories like eyes, nails and hair/hats. Instead of a separate discount room, we're having discounted items in the second floor of the clothes room.

I'm not really a party person (seclusion is my middle name), but I do feel like making a party for this store. Let's see what we can arrange...
I'll be making posts with new releases along the week, starting tomorrow, ok?

So, do you like the new store? Come visit!

50% Store Card SALE YAY!!!

2008-08-11T13:32:00.000-07:00

My dearest beloved ones,

If you're wondering why I've been so quiet lately, it's because I'm working on my new island, where we're gonna have a new beautiful store. It's going to take a lot of my time, so I'll have to hold up the new releases for a while.

To compensate for that, I decided to make a 50% off sale. Yay!

Just remember this is a store card sale, so you have to buy the store cards forst and follow the directions from there.

Have fun!

<3,
Myllie

New Male 080 AO and exclusive poses for AMS

2008-08-03T14:53:00.000-07:00

Male AO, finally!

I always find it harder to make poses and animations for guys, I mean to make them look manly but not like "cave men". So this AO gave me more trouble than usual. I loved the outcome, though :) Hope you do too! Now, I forgot the name of the guy who asked me for a male AO, I just hope he reads the feed!

Debutant

2008-07-30T14:09:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to make this dress for a looong time. It was actually my RL debutant dress :)
The skirt is a bit of a problem to sit (in SL AND RL, lol). So I've included an IntelliSkirt version of the prim skirt in each colour pack. Remember, they're fully modifiable, although it may not say so in your inventory (it's a script thing...).

They come in 7 colours, all the layers possible and, as I said before, scripted and unscripted prim skirt versions.

Hope you love. I do!

New AO Pack

2008-07-24T22:43:00.001-07:00

Just B U

This is a very regular, day-to-day, relax, loose AO pack. My moto is "the more natural, the better". Or it could be "Less is more". So, no extravaganza, no extra curvy hips or dislocated femur bones (if that is even english, sorry). Well, I hope you know what I mean, I wanted an AO for the everyday real woman, who is feminine without being a caricature of herself. That's it.

Store Updates | News

2008-07-17T08:36:00.000-07:00

I've been so busy that I'm having a hard time to keep my posts updated. Just for the record, the store has a few updates. I'll try to keep it short:

1- I've created a DISCOUNT ROOM to put the items (clothes and poses) I'm removing from the mainstore (to open room for new stuff), but don't want to retire completely. So, these items are underneath the mainstore (underwater, actually) and they’ve been remarked. To be honnest, what was already VERY fairly priced is now ridiculous! You will find boards on the store with a TP that look like this:

2- The Odelia dress was such an unexpected (and welcome!) success, that I couldn’t resist and decided to release the Odelia tops:

3- I’ve already posted that I’ve put the Lucky chair (the letter changes every 5 minutes) back in the mainstore with an exclusive Odelia dress edition in white. But now I have also put Lucky Letter boards (the letter changes every 3 minutes) in my other satelite stores (at Haute Couture and Retrology), also with exclusive (meaning: you can’t buy them, they’re only in the lucky gadgets) items, such as:

4- I’ve already posted that we now have a great Store Card (Gift Certificate) system on the mainstore. Sooner than I thought, the other satellite stores have been updated already. So, now you can find Gift cards in every location.

Phew!!! And that's it

See ya!

Store Cards - Finally!

2008-07-17T08:23:00.000-07:00

PERSONA finally has a gift certificate system. Yay! It's already in the mainstore and I'll be updating my vendors to have it in all the stores, hopefully by the end of this week.
The amounts of the cards are: L$500, L$ 1000, L$2500 and L$5000.

You will find a card dispenser that looks like this:

Obs.: You will not be able to wear a store card in the Discount Room! Oh, but I haven't made a post about the discount room, have I? Ok, next post will be about that.

See ya!

EYES - New Edition

2008-07-14T17:42:00.000-07:00

I've outdone myself! I really love my new eyes!!! :)
They're much more realistic than the previous ones AND I've made many more shades of colours. They're 16! I've made more, but I chose my favourite 16. And to fit every avie, I'm releasing them in 3 sizes: small, medium and big. I personally like to wear the medium size, that's what I'm wearing in the main ads.

I hope you can find your colour amongst them. ;)

Available in PERSONA, in SLX and Onrez

Pearl Drop set & weekend promotion

2008-07-04T17:22:00.000-07:00

"Pearl Drop" is the latest set of jewelry from PERSONA. The set consists of a pair of earrings and matching chain necklace, with a pearl drop pendant. They're quite simple and delicate. I think they have a sort of nostalic vibe, like old jewelry.

I've decided to make a gift to everyone (since I don't celebrate the 4th of July). So, I've remarked the black pearl sets to L$10 each. The promotion will only be valid for this weekend and only in my mainstore in-world (here). I'm going away for the weekend and as soon as I come back on Monday, I'm gonna set the proces back to their normal L$170. Hurry up, then!

Enjoy!

P.S.: I'll probably list those in SLX and Onrez only on Monday too.

Lots of news

2008-06-19T10:57:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since my last post. The thing is I've been working on a new mainstore, in a new sim built by my friend Euterpe Zagoskin AND I've been almost literally banging my head against the wall trying to make a nice walk and run for my new AO pack. I've finally reached something I liked!
So, the news are:

1- My first AO pack:

I've made it casual and animated to the most. The Casual AO pack includes: 4 animated stands (they should be used in sequence so that your transitions is smoother); 2 options of walks (normal and slower); a run; a sit on objects; a sit on ground; a fly; a slow fly; fly up; fly down; fall and 2 options of landing. That makes a total of 16 animations!
The pack also includes the open source ZHAO-II version 1.0.041b already set with the animations inside. It's ready to use, just wear it! If you should have any problems with the AO hud, feel free to IM me or drop me a note with your concerns, but please read the instructions first (inside the ZHAO hud). I'm no expert, I just made the animations and put them inside the AO hud :-)
The animations as well as the ZHAO-II are modifiable, so you should be able to make any changes you want (to include different animations or to replace them as you wish). Of course, you also have the liberty to chose another AO hud, that's why I've included the animations out of the hud, to make this process easier.
I've included a pose vendor with the animations being sold individually (L$100 each).

2- A new pack of static modelling poses (Pack13):

This time I made only stands (the next will be only sits). As usual, the pack contains 12 static poses (L$500) and you'll also find a vendor with the individual poses in frnt of it (L$50 each).

3- New mainstore:

Opening tomorrow, Friday, June 20, my new mainstore is bigger and nicer and has all of PERSONA's products, clothes, jewelry etc. plus the old ANIMAH poses and the new packs.
You'll find Zagoskin there too and soon, Hart will join us with PXL Creations! Come visit us! Click here for a quick tp to Levant.

The ANIMAH store is closing on June, 23. The 50% off sale on the full packs will hold untill then (in both places: ANIMAH and PERSONA).
So, remember you have only a few days left to enjoy the sale and the new packs are not included, ok?

4- The Haute Couture Sim is having a hunt this weekend. For info on what stores are participating in this hunt, please visit the Haute Couture Sim's blog. Of course, PERSONA is in it and I've put a nice surprise gift inside the Cosmopolitan Glass (how very chic!).

5- From today on, you already will find all of the ANIMAH poses and animations listed on Onrez and SL Exchange, under PERSONA's brand. (Don't forget the 50% off sale is only for the shoppers in-world).

Phew! Ok, that's enough.

Summary:

In the ideal weekend that I planned for you, you will: Come visit me and Euterpe at Levant, see the nicely built sim, enjoy a cup of coffee and, who knows, you might wanna get a fresh new Casual AO pack. Then you might wanna go casually flying to the Haute Couture Sim and hunt for the yummy prizes inside the cosmopolitan glasses spread all over the stores there. Finally, you can come enjoy the last days of the ANIMAH 50% off sale. Deal? ;)

Hope to see you there!

ByteDreams Jewelry Collection

2008-06-05T18:12:00.000-07:00

The new results of my new addiction, Bytedreams was named after a good friend who live s in a volcano! More delicate and complex than the previous sets, these gave me a lot more work, but it was definitely worth it! :D

The ByteDreams pieces have 3 options of metals: white traditional gold, white gold and red gold. They are delicate hoops carved with stud diamonds (I'm sure there's a more acurate way to describe them in good english, but I hope you understand).

I love love love them!

Dear customer, ANIMAH is closing down

2008-06-04T13:49:00.000-07:00

That's right. The commercial partnersheep I have with my dear friend Annah Whitfield is coming to an end.
ANIMAH was born on October of 2007 and has been very successful ever since. I believe that's because both me and Annah love what we do. It has been just wonderful! But, as some of you may know, me and Annah are from different continents, so our time schedule don't always meet. When one of us (or both) get some RL issue taking our time, it gets even more difficult for us to meet inworld. That sometimes causes delay in responses to customers and I was starting to feel frustrated about that.
What we want to make clear is that: the closing of ANIMAH does not mean, by any means, that we will stop making poses. It simply means that we will start using the brand each of us already own (me: "PERSONA" and Annah: "Annah") for that. You will still find the same poses (and the ones that are to come) in our stores, we are just splitting them in two different locations with two different managements.
Now, to somewhat "compensate" our customers and as a way of saying goodbye to this beautiful partnership, we have decided to make a goodbye SALE!!! So, from June, 6 to June 20 (or so, yet to be defined) you'll all get 50% discount on each full pack in the "closed-to-be" ANIMAH location (here). That means single poses will still cost L$50 each, but the full packs (with 12 poses) will be remarked to L$250.
We do hope you understand what we had to do and I firmly believe it will be for everyone's bets interest. We appreciate the response our customers have given us so far and we will continue to try our bests to keep the quality and love with every single creation.

hugs,

Myllie Writer

Iris knit and jeans shorts

2008-05-28T14:07:00.000-07:00

New releases:

Iris (again, named after a costumer) is a sleeveless thin wool top (with a plush feel) with sculpted turtleneck. I was so pleased with the texture and the sculpted collar that I wanted to make all colours in the universe, but I figured 9 was good enough :)

Bonnie is a jeans shorts that I started some time ago, to match with the Bonnie top but only now decided to finally release. I've put them in packs of 3 colours each, so the price is more than reasonable.

Enjoy!

ANIMAH - pack20

2008-05-17T15:09:00.000-07:00

As i said in my previous post, this pack of ANIMAH has some (6, to be exact) poses especially made for smokers. Of course, your imagination will let you wear them anyway you want, but I've put the hand close to the mouth in a way that a cigarette fits perfectly. Here they are:

I've also included a pack with cigarettes and cigarette holders right next to the pack. You can buy those for L$0 in our store.

The ANIMAH Update Group members have already received an animated version of the cigarette holder as a gift. The animation will make your right hand hold the cigarette. Wanna get one? Join the group for free and check "notices".

Pack20 is available in ANIMAH, Onrez and SLX.

ANIMAH [Preview]

2008-05-15T09:50:00.000-07:00

Do you smoke? Well, I do. I'm from a generation that found it charming to smoke, so far from the politically correct of nowadays. I don't intend to glorify the habit (don't smoke! don't smoke! It's bad for you!), but I do intend to add some smoking poses in ANIMAH's next pack and I can't deny I still find it charming. And after all, it's SL, your pixel lungs won't feel a thing AND you won't get smelly hair or breath. So, relax and have a smoke.

I intend to also include in the pack (or next to it for free, let's see), this prim cigarette and cigarette holder I made especially for the pics. You can see the brand there: "MW".

Coming soon in ANIMAH!

Mollie

2008-05-13T10:43:00.001-07:00

After I made Nola, I decided I had to work on the lace top some more, because I loved it so much. That’s how Mollie was born. I find prim mini-skirts tricky, but the bottom had to be clean and simple so that the top would be the star. I made a long tank to go underneath the lace, and it turned out so nicely that I decided it had to be an option to wear it alone. So there you go, Mollie is versatile in the sense that you can wear it more dressy, with lace and stockings or more casual with only the tank and without stockings.

Mollie comes in 7 colours to chose from, but every colour has two shades (lighter and darker), for both lace top and tank. This time I didn’t give as many layer options as I normally would, because it was far too confusing even for me. So the lace top comes in jacket layer and the tank comes in shirt and pants layers. The mini-skirt comes in underpants layer, with and without stockings. There’s also a sock layer (feet only) to be worn with the stockings version of the skirt.

Liane and Nola - plus Group Gift!

2008-05-10T12:47:00.000-07:00

Presenting PERSONA's freshest releases, here are:

- Liane, a casual one-shoulder and tights outfit. I guess the top could also be worn alone, as a mini-dress. As usual, I try to provide as many layers as I can.

and Nola - a dressier but yet casual babydoll dress. I made the dress real simple and focused on litlle details, such as the lace texture on the top, a silver and feather brooch attached on the chest and the flowers on the back of the sheer stockings.

Hope you like them!

Available in PERSONA, in SLX and Onrez.

Now, a small gift for my loyal update group members. I decoded to give you Nola in grey colour. If you're not a member, you can join at no cost. Search for "PERSONA" in the Groups tag and look in "notices". If I'm not mistaken, you have only 15 days (counting from 9 of May) to get that gift box from there. After that, it will be erased, as the new LL rule says.

Okies! That's it for now. :-)

New Lucky chair

2008-04-29T15:46:00.000-07:00

Feeling lucky? Then head over to PERSONA's mainstore, 'cause I've just put a lucky chair there with 3 different prizes! The chair is right next to the other freebies in the store:

and the current prizes are:

The idea is to change the prizes every once in a while, I'm not sure how long I'm gonna leave the current ones. Let's see.

Anyway, if you want a quick tp, click here.

Oh, I've tried Annah's passion on Murilo and I think it doesn't look bad at all. So maybe Annah's passion is unisex. Or am I wrong?

Annah's passion

My friend Annah Whitfield has a passion for hairs with hats, so I named this new project of mine after her.

There are 8 colours of hair to chose from and I've put a simple colour changing scrip inside the hats, so you can click on the hat to chose from 11 textures/colours.

Obs.: I take my hat off for hair makers, 'cause making hair is a tough business! It's fun, though and I hope this is the first of a bunch.

My talented friend Kamian Trescothick is having a sale in his store Aristocrat Homes. I don't usually blog other people's works, but Kamian really impresses me with his work and his incredible building talent. I'm telling you, he can build ANYTHING you want. You will find a range of 16 houses in his store, with sizes from 512 to 4096. I love his clean elegant style. Here are a few examples:

I could have put more pictures, but you really should go see them for yourself. He has a system where you can rez each home and walk inside. One important detail: hurry up! Kamian in closing this store, so you have like two days left to profit from this sale!

Thanks, guys! Hope you all enjoy!

Spring / Summer time

2008-04-07T20:53:00.000-07:00

You know I'm in Brasil and down here summer is coming to an end. I don't want to say goodbye to Summer... (snif snif). But, in SL, I don't have to. Yay!
The next few new releases were inspired by sunny sunny days!

Bonnie is a soft linen button shirt, with sculpted sleeves and prim bottom. Personally, my fave of all the releases.

This is a simple plain cotton tank I made for the guys, something I wanted to present Murilo with.

Again, for Murilo, swimming trunks with the cut I like most. They have a "plush" touch and come in bright cheerful colours.

Same cut, but now with colour stripes on the sides.

Now, I decided to revamp some old one-piece swimsuits I made in the past. I've worked a bit on the cut and the texture is much much better. Alaysa was named after a dear and beautiful customer, as the next two swimsuits.

Montana is one of my oldest and dearest customers. She is unique! Hope you like it, Montana!

Sasy is completely new (not a revamped version). Classy and versatile as the lady I chose to name it. (Yes, Sasy Scarborough, it's you :P).

All one-pieces come with three choices of bottom cuts: small, medium and large. You know, you may want to be more "discrete" with children around and all... or not!

As usual, all pieces come with all possible layers, which you might as well ignore if you don't mean to mix and match. Just wear the jacket and pants layer and you're good :).

All available in-world here, and on the web: Onrez and SLX.

Blue skies for everyone!!!

RFL and new Jaydie

2008-03-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

The Relay for Life fair is now open! It's huge! Four whole sims packed with great stores. I'm happy to be amongst them :)

The black Golden Dots is a RFL exclusive item, so it'll only be for sale for the duration of the fair. Come grab your copy in the Summer sim.

Now, Jaydie is a new dress I'm releasing today and I'm in love with it. It was named after a very good and dear customer, Jaydie Sapeur. If you're reading this and are also a good customer, don't be jealous, I intend to do this much more often. Jaydie was so happy that it made me happier. So, this will be a new policy of mine: to name outfits after you!

Tag I was it

2008-03-14T11:59:00.000-07:00

Annah Whitfield tagged me, so here it goes:

Follow the Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

There’s no point in picking a book written in portuguese, right? So I’ve picked one I should have read during my first (imcomplete) major studies and never did. It’s “Mrs. Dallloway”, by Virginia Wolf.

"She was poor, moreover; degradingly poor. Otherwise, she would not be taking jobs from people like the Dalloways; from rich people who liked to be kind. Mr. Dalloway, to do him justice, had been kind.”

Who knows? I might as well read the whole thing. I certainly need the english practice :P

ANIMAH and Photostage

2008-03-12T07:29:00.001-07:00

In collaboration with Ananke Media Systems, ANIMAH is giving 6 free poses as a gift to whoever purchases their products. The promotion will last from 15 March to 15 May 2008. You will find a note inside their packages that include Photostand, i.e. Photostage, PhotoLite and PhotoTolls Pro. For more details on these amazing photoshooting tools check out the AMS website: http://anankemediasystems.wordpress.com/

Here's how it'll work:
Get the ANIMAH gift certificate notecard inside your product package between the above stated dates. Come to the ANIMAH store, select your favourite six poses, write their names on that notecard, and send it back to me (Myllie Writer) or Annah Whitfield. We will deliver your poses as soon as possible (remember there are 2 of us, so allow us some time to gather your gift. Since me and Annah are in different continents, our time spent in SL don't always match).

Enjoy your modelling photoshooting sessions with Photostand and ANIMAH!

Since you've asked...

2008-03-08T18:04:00.000-08:00

You have asked, so here they are! I can't always attend to everyone's request, but sometimes I can and that makes me really happy :)

Here is the Helena dress in burgundy: (I did a white version too, but that one didn't come out so good :P)

The shirt part in the Helena dress comes with the high waist of the skirt, and I'm not changing the packs, since they're already huge as they are (I've been called "queen of layers"!). But I decided to go for the full shirts and made a few colors (8 actually) of it:

Now, below it's just me playing model with my poses:

Another popular request was for the satin sashes alone. I made it in many colours and colourable, so you can tint them infinetely.

Now, enough messing with Helena, huh?

All available in my mainstore PERSONA, in SLX and Onrez.

New releases and RFL

2008-03-05T18:41:00.000-08:00

Helena is my latest release. A clean, simple and ellegant set of shirt and skirt that I wanted to buy in RL but have not found...
You can get a more casual or more formal look, depending on the length of the skirt you chose to wear.

The Golden Dots is my RFL outfit. Inspired in the movie "Pretty Woman" (remember that polo match Richard Gere took Julia Roberts? And they went into the grass field to tap the holes in the grass afterwards? - pardon my bad english) Well, I envision this outfit as a good one for that kind of situation, especially because of the hat.

I loved it so much that I had to make a white version for it:

All except the RFL outfit, of course, are available in my mainstore PERSONA, SLX and Onrez.

Still on nude mode

2008-02-25T11:06:00.000-08:00

I received 2 cool suggestions for nude poses that I really liked. Both came from RL photographs, as shown below:

So I decided to release them. I'll be including the 2 poses in a separate vendor for a while. This is a chance for everyone who bought the previous nude pack to complete the set. Later on, I'll be including them in the old pack, which will be 12 poses for 500L, instead of 10 poses for 400L. If you want to get them separately, they will be in the pose stand together will the other nude ones.

Obs: These will work for barefeet pics only. High heels will change the feet position.

2008-02-24T16:45:00.000-08:00

I've made eyes for myself and decided to sell them 'cause I think they're not too bad.
Each pack comes with 2 sizes: small and medium. I have not made those big SL standard sizes, because I wanted to be a bit more realistic. Anyway, here they are:

They're available in my mainstore (PERSONA) and at SLX and Onrez.

Enjoy!

Nude pack - new from ANIMAH

2008-02-19T18:45:00.000-08:00

Have you ever played of taking nude pictures of yourself? It's fun! But I can only speak for myself: I never wanted to make explicit nude photos (I think they're tacky and so NOT sexy). I think sexy is in what's not completely revealed. Maybe I'm just old fashioned...
Anyway, I decided to make a pack of poses with that idea in mind, you know, for naked-but-not-too-revealing pictures.
They might work great for skin and shape ads, but hey, use them however you want!

Ok, this last one is a bit more exposed. Still classy, don't you think?

Available now at ANIMAH, SLX and ONREZ

Photostage event

2008-02-18T11:16:00.000-08:00

I'm truly honoured to tell you that ANIMAH has sponsored the Photostage event this weekend. I'm even prouder because the winner photograph used one of ANIMAH's poses!! I really should have posted about this before but... well, you can see all about this wonderful, professional work here: http://anankemediasystems.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/delighted-at-the-photostage-launch-event/

P.S. - and don't miss Serenity's video! It's the most beautiful tutorial I've ever seen (and heard!). That song is one of my favorite songs in the whole wide world!!!

ANIMAH's permissions

2008-02-13T11:24:00.000-08:00

Obs.: It has come to my knowledge that some AO huds won't accept poses with "no mod" permissions. Me and Annah wouldn't want that models or anyone interested would prevent themselves from wearing our poses for that reason. So, from now on, all our poses have been changed to "mod" permission. We have not changed all ads though (at least not yet), so you will still read "no mod" in the old vendors, but be assured that the contents have all mod permissions.
For those of you who wear our poses only for static photoshooting purposes, that means nothing will change and you will still be able to drop the poses in a posing stand as usual.
We are sorry if that's a bit confusing, all we hope is to better attend our dear customers' needs.

Sincerely,
Myllie Writer

New Release - Hippie Chic choices

2008-02-03T09:07:00.001-08:00

I've been working on these for a while now and I really LOVE the outcome. The Hippie Chic is definitely something I would wear in RL on a day-to-day basis.

I love the fact that we can chose how we want to wear it. (My only advice is to wear a "skirt shape" if you wear the tunic system skirt, but again, a matter of choice). I appreciate choices and variations on the same piece. The same for the jeans:

The best pair of jeans I've made so far. Took me ages to hand draw, but it was worth it. The prim cuffs are modifiable, as usual, to better suit different shapes.

Although they look perfect together (in my view), tunic and jeans are sold separately, so people can chose what they want.

Available at PERSONA's mainstore, Onrez and SLX. Go chose yours!

He's done wonders with her new store too (you can have a look here: http://eolande.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/new-at-eolandes/)
Kamian can make pretty much anything you have in mind, and if you don’t have much in mind, he can come up with great ideas.

That's it for now. See ya!

Another Fundraiser skin - PREVIEW

2008-01-11T15:44:00.001-08:00

Do you like this skin? This is the version of Eloh's cf0 skin I've worked on, to donate to Another Fundraiser (http://anotherfundraiser.blogspot.com/). Let's say it's about 98% Eloh Eliot's and 2% mine. Still, unique. I made it with a soft, feminine makeup, that can be used on days or nights, discrete and classy. If you like it, it'll be available at Another Fundraiser locales pretty soon.
2 good news:
- It's gonna cost L$50
- All money raised from sales will be donated to UNICEF
Cool, huh?
The pack will come with 4 skins: freckled and pubic hair; freckled without hair; no freckles with pubic hair and no freckles without hair.
Oh, and the dragon tattoo is right there on the back, close to the right shoulder. Keep posted to hear about the release!

Playing with Eloh's skins

2008-01-08T22:12:00.000-08:00

A lot of work to do, unfinished textures of clothes waiting to be completed and all I can do is play with Eloh's skins. That girl really gave a LOT to us, her templates have it all. A little tweak and turn and I got my perfect brows. Some changes in the face marks and freckles, a litle more shading in the nose and a bit of color in the skin tone and that's it. I'm actually looking like my mother when she was my age (we look very much alike). I even made a cute little dragon tattoo that I don't have in RL. :)Thank you so much, Eloh!!!

50% SALE and new stores

2008-01-08T08:22:00.000-08:00

Wonderful gifts

2007-12-26T17:59:00.000-08:00

I love Chrsitmas gifts!

I got these group gifts from Melanie Zhao and I loved them so much I just had to blog them. She sent a fat pack of gifts, but the one I loved most was the one called "the ultimate face light". Turns out it's the huge elaborate set of lights with a big sign on top "It's all about me!".

I just LMFAO! It reminds me of that character from "Absolutely Fabulous", a british TV sitcom I used to love! Of course I've learned Melanie is british... I've also learned she is the talented shoe designer from ZHAO. And look at my second favorite gift:

A shoe-chair! And with a wonderful animated sit. Thank you, Melanie, for the wonderful gifts!

Oh, btw, the gorgeous lingerie set I'm wearing in the pictures was also a gift, from Jasmin Marquez, designer of "'Nuff".

Playful mood

2007-12-12T10:37:00.000-08:00

I had a child's moment yesterday night and made this little animation. I've seen snow only once, but never really played in it, though I'd love to. I gave it as a holiday gift for a bunch of people, but I wish everyone would be able to play, so I'm placing it as another freebie in ANIMAH. You're all invited to play!!!

Now, my friend Annah tagged me, again!!! For the rules and such, check her blog: http://annahwhitfield.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-i-want-for-christmas-tag.html

My answers:

1-) I was really really priviledged. I can't remember any Christmas gift that wasn't attended by my parents, even without my asking. (Spoiled? You think?)
2-) This Christmas, I want REST and FOOD!
3-) Sky is the limit? I want the utopy of everyone living in harmony and working for love, not money, just the pure motivation of doing what you came here to do, sharing your gifts and talents freely. If everyone could do it, we wouldn't need money and everyone would be attended in their needs and have abundance.

I tag: Delilah Karas, Sherpa Davies, Encore Mayne, Gillian Waldman and Tymmerie Thorne.

Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS - Freebies

2007-12-05T04:30:00.000-08:00

Real Life got me pretty good and I don't think I'll be able to hang around in SL much untill after Christmas. I'll be checking my emails constantly and I'll do my best to log in every time it's needed, but new releases will have to wait a while.

I wanted to give a little something to everyone as a Christmas gift, though. So, I released those animated poses as FREEBIES. They are 5 animated stands and 4 flying animations (the "Flying up" is static), you can put inside your AO Hud (ZHAO or Franimation, or whatever).

They're all available at ANIMAH

Please, come get your Christmas gift! I hope you enjoy!

With all best wishes,

Myllie

I've been tagged

2007-12-03T10:00:00.000-08:00

My goodness, I got this "tag" message from Phoenix, but then I had a quick look at Planet and I see almost everyone is alredy tagged? How will I tag 8 people? Have you been tagged already?

Here are the rules:
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
(4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So here are my 8 random facts:

1- Ok, this is funny and kinda gross, too, but here it goes: Once I had a dog who ate a used condom she found in the streets (I know... gross). Later that day, she puked the "thing" in my living room (that's how I found out she had eaten it). As if it weren't enough, my boyfirend had come visit me that day and accused me of cheating on him when he saw the "art" my little dog had done.

2- I have the cutest little dog named Hercules and I'm afraid he thinks he's as strong as the mithological character. When we're walking in the streets, he barks and teases with every big dog he finds in his way.

3- I once worked as a waitress in London's British Museum (looong time ago). I used to be in the icecream cart outside of the museum and we sold small cups of mineral water for an absurd price in pounds. One day, I had an american customer who asked me how much was the water, and when I answered, she furiously said "That is disgusting!" and almost threw the cup in my face. I actually agreed with her.

4- When I was about 5, I used to play a little game with my mum: I took a note ($) from her wallet and asked her how much candy I could buy with that note. Usually it was a very small note, so I could get like 5 or 10 bubblegums with it. One day, she was busy and not really in the mood to play and I took a very large note from her wallet and asked as usual: "How much candy can I buy with it?" - She replied impatiently "Nothing!" - "Nothing?! - I said. - "Then It's useless!" and I ripped the note into pieces.

5- When I was a teenager (I was a pain...) learning english, I started to get frustrated with the bad translations I found in the movie theaters (in Brazil), especially regarding the titles of the movies. One day I was in the cinema with a boy I was really interested in and wanted to impress him every way I could. When the movie started (I really don't remember which one) and the first announcements began, I quickly "corrected" one more bad translation, in my view: "Oh, here they come again! They translated it all wrong! It's obvious the original title of the movie is TOUCHESTONE PICTURES!"

6- My husband and I have the exact same numbers for the count of total letters in our names: 11. The exact same number for the count of vowels: 3 and the same number for the count of consonants: 8 (I love Numerology)

7- Sometimes my husband gets jealous of the time I spend in front of the computer when I'm home. Every once in a while, he waits till I get a bit distracted and types in MY keyboard "I love my husband" - So, if it happens to you while you're talking to me in-world, nevermind.

One more? Wow, I ran out of things to say...

8- I hate fancy food. Basically, anything that's expensive is not very appealing to me. My favorite food ever is the traditional brazilian "rice and beans".

Okay, finished! Uff!

Here are are my 8 "nominees" for the Tag award:

Sorry if it's repeated (it's not, as far as I could see), I tried to get people I know to have blogs.

LAYERS

2007-11-30T16:53:00.000-08:00

As has been discussed in the comments of a previous post, many people don't know how to work with layers in SL, to mix and match and vary your outfits. SL provides us with a range of possibilities and limitations also. If you're already familiar with layers, this post will be completely useless. But if you want to read and add/correct anything I've written, please do!

I don’t know if I can call it a tutorial. I intend to make a simple explanation on layers in SL, how they work and why some designers (including me) put many layers for a single piece of clothing in their packs. Let’s just hope I can make myself understandable ;P. (please forgive the precarious English of a non-native speaker).

Ok, think of an onion and its many layers, one over the other, that’s how layers of clothing work in SL. There is a “hierarchy” to be followed. So, the SKIN is the primary layer an avie wears, nothing can go underneath it. The next ones are the UNDERSHIRT and UNDERPANTS layers. Then, come the SHIRT and PANTS layers, and then comes the JACKET layer. The SOCKS layer will be over the UNDERPANTS and underneath the PANTS layers. Oh, and there's also GLOVES, that comes over skin and UNDERSHIRT and stays underneath SHIRT and JACKET.

The layers work fine together when they respect that hierarchy but they conflict if you try to wear two pieces made in the same layer. You can only wear one of a kind of layer, not two SOCKS layers, for instance, as you could in RL.

The names “SHIRT, PANTS, JACKET, UNDERPANTS AND UNDERSHIRT” etc. are the names of the layers, not the names of the pieces of clothing, ok? I’ll be writing them in capital letters, to differentiate them from the names of the pieces of clothing. The names of the layers serve to guide us as to where they are in the hierarchy of layers, but one piece of clothing can be made in many layers. I can make lingerie in PANTS and SHIRT layers, for instance, and I do. Why? Why not only in UNDERPANTS and UNDERSHIRT, as they should in RL? Because tatoos are made in those layers and you wouldn’t be able to wear your tattoo AND a set of lingerie if you have only the underwear layers for both.

Also, in SL, not always the name of the layer correspond to the name of the item. For example, painted nails. If they are not prim nails, they can only come in GLOVES, for it is the only layer that covers your fingernails in SL. For the painted toes, they have to be SOCKS. So, you cannot wear red painted toes AND your favorite stockings, for SOCKS is the only layer that covers your feet.
Each layer will have a reach as to what it can cover in an avie’s body, and SL has some limitations in comparison to RL. So, the SHIRT will cover your torso, arms and part of the neck, but it only goes down to around the waist line, it won’t cover your lower abdomen or your lower back. For that, you will need a PANTS layer or a JACKET, which reaches all areas a SHIRT can reach, plus parts of what a PANTS layer can reach.

A blouse can come in a variety of layers. If that blouse is to cover the lower parts of your abdomen and back, it HAS to come in JACKET or, it can come in a set: SHIRT + PANTS or UNDURSHIRT + UNDERPANTS. But why not release only in JACKET layer if it’s enough to cover it all? Because you might want to mix and match, and wear that blouse with an open coat in JACKET layer or wear it with a pair of pants, giving the impression the blouse is tucked in. The JACKET would go over your pants, but you can wear it in a SHIRT layer piece alone, you see?

Ok, let’s see some examples in pictures:

Here I’m wearing my Sheer Buttoned Shirt in JACKET layer, with my High Waist Pants (without the high waist belt piece) in UNDERPANTS layer (it could be PANTS layer also, but I wanted to wear these wonderful long boots I got in Last Call and the PANTS layer wouldn’t go with them). I’m wearing a piece of my Well Behaved bra in UNDERSHIRT layer (which could also be in SHIRT layer with the same effect) underneath the sheer shirt.

Now, I don’t want my Sheer Buttoned Shirt to be sheer, but opaque. So, I wear that same shirt but in SHIRT and PANTS layers underneath the JACKET layer. Since my pants come in UNDERPANTS layer, it still stays underneath it all.

Now, I want to wear this lovely Philippa knit waistcoat I got from Annah Couture, over my Sheer Buttoned Shirt. So, I wear the waistcoat in JACKET layer and keep my shirt in SHIRT and PANTS. I don’t have the opaque option anymore, 'cause I can’t wear two layers of jacket, remember?

Now I’m wearing my shirt in SHIRT layer only, tucked in, with my high waist belt piece of the High Waist Pants, in JACKET layer.

My Woolen Tights, in order to cover hips, legs and feet, have to come in two layers:

UNDERPANTS (or PANTS)

And SOCKS.

Here is another example of a top blouse worn in SHIRT and JACKET layers. You can see there that the JACKET would cover the belt in the PANTS layer of the prim skirt base. Underneath the PANTS I’m wearing my Woolen Tights in UNDERPANTS layer.

So, that's it. I know it can be pretty confusing if you're not used to it. It would be easier to have only one option, but it wouldn't be as fun! Isn't it wonderful to be able to mix and match with your outfits?

Milla, I really hope this post can be helpful. :)

P.S. - I forgot to mention that I'm wearing Caroline Apolllo's "Cameo". I can't seem to take it off since I got it for FREE (group member's gift)!! I love it! Love it! Love it!

Greetings, everyone!

Just a quick post to let you all know PERSONA has a new location. I love all my stores, but I needed more prim limits to make my mainstore, so here it is! I'm very close to my good friend Annah, from Annah Couture. She's just across the street. :)

And here I am posing for a pic inside the store. I'm wearing my "Sheer buttoned shirt" in beige, in shirt and pants layers and Annah's new "Philippa" in jacket layer. The pants are my "Stretch jeans - dark wash" in underpants layer. That reminds me, I need to write a simple tutorial for Layers in SL, as suggestion of Milla Michinaga. Layers tutorial, coming right up!
