Leather & Tweed In The Lost Town

1 Leather & Tweed D

I hung out at Rwah’s place(s) this weekend. You remember Square Pegs in Round Holes, right? She and Jordy Zipdash have transformed it into The Lost Town, and there is still time to enter the photo competition. All you need to do is create a postcard, shot at The Lost Town and upload it to the Square Pegs the Pictures Flickr group by January 31. It is a juried contest, with the winner receiving 1000L, 2nd place winning 750L and third place gets 500L. So there’s no reason not to head over, snap some shots and enter!

When I got dressed, I realised The Lost Town would be a great place to shoot one of the latest releases from JfL Hats. I love the tweed, it fits snugly and fashionably and works wonderfully with leather and denim. I can’t quite decide if I seem more like a gunslinger in a ghost town (sans guns) or a wayward B actress lost on the back lot of a movie studio. Luckily, I only had to derender a few people who wandered into my shots; I guess I turned them into ghosts!

You might have noticed at the beginning I mentioned Rwah’s places…plural. She is working on another sim, which will be opening (hopefully) soon. It is an amazing build, very unique in character, and has that special touch that only Rwah can bring. Stay tuned for more info; I can’t say anything more right now or Rwah will beat me with her wet sock!

I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You

1 I Don't Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You 1

I don’t want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I’m playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don’t wanna spend one more Christmas without you

Lyrics from “I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You” by ‘N Sync

God help me, I’m quoting ‘N Sync.

I have been trying to do a second post with the hats from JfL Hats for the Jewelry & Accessories Expo since last weekend. Nothing has seemed to work. Today I headed over to Calas Galadhon and ended up at South Farthing. I tried multiple locations and poses, but nothing was striking me as “right.” I was about to give up, and then that bloody song came on the local music stream.

I am not a boy band fan. I am especially not an ‘N Sync fan. But something about that song struck a chord and I was able to create a photo that seemed to capture the spirit of the lyric.

As Grumper said, “No one is immune [to the power of boy bands].”

I hate when he’s right.

On a happier note, Queue Marlowe of Analog Dog has reintroduced separate bangs with her latest release, Bangers. I matched one of the sets with my standby Nicky ponytail and matching hairbase from Amacci to solve the problem inherent to wearing a hat in Second Life. Thank god for hair attachments and bangs!

(But not boy bands.)

Attitude

1 JfL Round

There’s just something about putting on a hat that screams “attitude.” Sassy, confident, pert and perky.

They say attitude changes everything. Attitude is everything. But for me, attitude is all about the hat.

Johnfrancis Laville of JfL Hats is releasing several versions of his round hat for the Jewelry & Accessories Fair, beginning December 5. Check back when the event opens for the link to the fair.

You can pick up a little attitude of your own.
