Sass Swarm MM Board Run 8/3/13

Today's board Run (as listed here) Was completed at 9 am slt. So if you're on later in the day, the number of people who've hit the mm's will likely be higher. It is a sales day so if we make sure to hit the boards it's more likely we will see them lock. If you do have some midnight mania boards that you'd like to see added to the list, please feel free to send a shout out in the sass swarm group in second life. I'm sure we'd love to help ^_^.

If you click on the slurl it will open a page on sl's map in your viewer, where you'll find a teleport here now button. Or you can copy and paste the slurl in world to teleport. I hope you have fun on the run, and here's hoping they lock ^_^.

Moving Mainstream?

It baffles me to no end the way that Shades of Grey has been snapped up by various outlets. The book series is very popular, and although it doesn't necessarily present a positive or factual scenario; It has brought the idea of BDSM type activities into a brighter light. I can accept that the movie industry is thinking about making a movie out of it. Popular literature is an appealing source for them, because they have a pre-made target audience and don't have to hope that there is a niche for them.

But this, I wasn't expecting. *points at the cropped photo from her phone*

Yes, they're moving to accessories already. Cutsey t-shirts, underpants, jewelry and thigh high stockings of various sorts are what I saw when I investigated the display in the store. It's not really anything too bad, but are they blurring lines that they ought to leave alone? There are people that are figuring that the books are something to base ideas and activities around. That isn't a bad thing.

But there are lifestylers that may find it annoying to see some things used so flippantly. There are a lot of people that just think that they're dealing with a fashion statement, or expressing their adoration for the interesting "Mr. Grey". But unlike Harry Potter fans, Grey fans may find themselves in some interesting conversations. These can be uncomfortable for both parties involved.

So what I'm trying to get at is this: know what you're wearing. Think about the multi-facets that something can express. Educate yourself on symbolism, and don't be afraid to express yourself. But don't expect everyone to see what you're wearing and interpret it to mean what you've intended it to. So please, I know a number of you DO know what you are doing, and you are all (I think anyways) adults and entitled to do as you like. But take into mind the message your choices may send to those around you.

There are many beautiful things available to accessorize and express yourself. I personally have a set of neon rainbow plastic bamboo look bracelets. I was trounced after work one night (rl) by a group of gay men who felt that if I wasn't gay I shouldn't be wearing them. I had a very long discussion with them, and after we went on our ways. I won't forget it because they seemed slightly hostile at first, but calmed down as we discussed why I wear them. This is only an example of what I mean though. Am sure a number of folk have their own experience, good and bad.

Please have good ones.

The Importance of Utilizing Market Place

Second Life's marketplace is an amazing place to find new items of a wide variety. Utilizing Market Place can help you find new creators, as well as enable you to personalize and tweak your look. There are a great number of creators that offer promotional items, as well as freebies on the marketplace. It's definitely worth the time to look and check some of them out.

Why is this a good thing? You can save money. You can find some unique and rather fascinating shops. You can be introduced to knew concepts in style. And you can continue modifying your second life, tweaking yourself into your personal ideal avatar.

Anyway, to get you started, here's a variety of items that I found and sent to my inventory. We'll see later on just what I can do with them. Happy Hunting! ~Tia.

Building Avatar Appearance : HAIR

Hair is an element of the SL avatar that many people are very picky about. There's a good reason for this. Hair is a very noticeable element of an avatar. People will create an opinion about you by your hair. First impressions and all that jazz.

So what kinds of hair are there in sl? On the most part there is sculpted, flexie, and mesh hair. Each style has it's pro's and cons. And each one can be appealing for different reasons.  You can pick a hair that speaks about what your avatar is, or let it be a way to express you're ideas.

Sculpted hair, or hair that is constructed from multiple prims is not always going to look the best. Many examples of hair like this can be seen in the old SL libraries. This hair frequently does not move, which makes this hair type the one that is most likely to seem as though it is going extinct soon. It is good for photo's and for creating a distinct style though.

Flexie hair, is very common now. It's the hair that we see that flows and moves when an avatar walks around or dances. The hair has a type of give and bounce, giving it an almost realistic feel. Flexie hair has a tendency to go through an avatar when it moves though, meaning although it looks and flows nice, there are times when it can look surreal.

Mesh hair, is newer. It is a work in progress, but many people have a lot of nice things to say about it. It moves with your avatar, so there is no "through" where the hair might bounces through your avatar. BUT mesh hair doesn't bounce the same way as the flexie hair does. It has a tendency to look as though it is sticking to your body.

Anyway, those are some of the types of hair to consider. The next thing you want to decide, is what color and style you'd like. These factors will play a part in deciding what is going to work best for your avatar. What I would recommend, no matter what style you are thinking of selecting, try out a demo first. Make sure that you know for sure if the hair will fill and act the way that you are hoping. Short or long it doesn't matter, as long as you are happy with your look.

Sass Swarm

In Second Life there are groups for just about everything and anything we could be interested in. But we have come to notice that even some of those groups, get uppity when they're used for what they're meant for. So with that in mind, we would like to introduce you to a fairly new group in sl, the Sass Swarm.

What is the Sass Swarm? Well it's a place to call those fabulous silks you saw on a midnight mania board, or share some information about a to die for sale. even let us know about events you may be participating in. Share your opinions, make friends, and just stick together as a group. This group is not affiliated with any one sim, and it is not intended to replace another group instead our point is to provide a friendly environment for all.

We know that there are a lot of like minded individuals out there who read our blog, and may be interested in participating in some of these activities that we mention. Scavenger hunts (as an example) are much more fun in groups, and go much faster that way than when alone. Maybe you're learning to build and need advice on a project, or perhaps you need someone to model an outfit and give opinions. This group is for you.

One of the key elements to enjoying second life is being part of a network, and knowing what's going on. Being a Sassy Honey is one way to do that. So look us up. We aren't sexist either! We call male boards too!

Shopping VS Hunting

In Second Life there are a variety of ways to dress your avatar. You can be just about anything that you want to be, as am sure you've realized by now. Today we're going to look at the pro's and con's of two different ways in which to outfit your avatar. Shopping and Hunting. I know that it sounds a bit peculiar to think of hunting as a way to outfit your avatar, but it'll be explained well enough for you to understand.

Second Life clothing and avatars can get to be a fairly expensive hobby if you're not ready to be a content creator yourself. We're not all creative art talents, some of us are writers, and others are scriptwriters. While a large number of us wish nothing more than to rp and pay dress up. Playing dress up can get costly, and it can be daunting. How can you look different without spending so much?

This is where scavenger hunts and store events come in. There are a number of grid wide hunts that happen in Second Life, and the prizes vary. They can be everything from a pose, to a whole avatar. Unlike shopping though, there is no guarantee that you will like everything that you receive in a  hunt. But you're not spending nearly as much by doing a hunt as you would by shopping. The biggest thing you're likely to spend during a hunt is time.

You will find out that there are stores that you shop at, that do participate in hunts. This is  a good way to slowly decide if scavenger hunts are for you. Some of them are very difficult, and I personally recommend hunting with a friend, or even in a group. Why? Because it can be more fun and you'll cover more ground that way.

This is just some food for thought. Shopping is by far the more reliable method to get exactly what you want. But a hunt, will usually add some unique pieces to your wardrobe, that over time are generally unavailable.  So here's to happy hunting, whether it's for a deal or for an item.

Feeling Slightly Villainous

Sometimes something catches your eye while your bouncing from place to place. For me this silk did it. I HAD to have it.The only thing was finding someone to match up with me at the Lucky Fortune Machine that they have out at Shack >.<. Am sure that there are a lot of you that can understand and relate to that. Anyways here's a picture in my new silk and a list of how to look just like me. (Though it is more fun to look like yourself, if there's something you like in the picture then you can find it yourself)
