[How do you feel about content creators using templates?]

Yes Eve and Whimsy, my sentiments exactly! Eve I don't think I could have phrased it any better than you did! LOL

[Is the SL you similar to the RL you in looks?]

Alazarin, you just made me LOL!!!

[What do you think was the hardest thing to get used to when you first started SL?]

Oh I had a horrendous time trying to figure out movement as well. Lucky for me I had people to help me out and guide me pretty much right away. 

[How do you feel about content creators using templates?]

I don't have an issue with it, as long as they get creative with it and give it their own unique flair.

I know this is a touchy topic for some, but I'd love to see what everyone's thoughts are on it.  

[Is the SL you similar to the RL you in looks?]

Do you dress your av the same way? Did you make your av look like you? My av is kind of similar to me, but I think a lot prettier. :P I do tend to stick with the darkers skins and darker hair like I have in RL. How about you?

[What do you think was the hardest thing to get used to when you first started SL?]

Mine was fitting prims (eyelashes, skirts, etc....) It took me FOREVER to learn how to do it and in fact I think for the whole first year I totally avoided it and would walked around with badly fitted prims without a care. *facepalms*

[Seeking clothing designer for specific outfit]

Hi Ariella,

I let Zaara know of what you are requesting and after looking at this picture she says that in order for you to get a good flow in your machinima this outfit would be best made in mesh, which Zaara is still learning and would not able to do for you at the moment.

What she CAN do for you is use her current kurta set (which you can see at this link: http://zaarakohime.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/zaara-ethnic-kurta-sets) and recolor and base it on your design with shorter sleeves and a print like yours. However the pants will not be baggy and the dupatta will not flow as it does in your image. If this is something you are interested in, then please feel free to contact Zaara Kohime inworld to discuss it further. 

Thanks!

 

[Good places to make fashion pics]

OMG I am totally bookmarking this page and going to visit these places inworld. Thanks for sharing!

[How has your look changed over the years?]

This is so much fun, I'm going to share it on flickr and plurk too!  Here's mine:

[What is your favorite group in SL for getting fashion tips?]

Oh these are great links Harper, I didn't even know about Womenstuff. Thank you!

[Underwear yes/no]

No underwear for meeeeeee, I like to be skanky.

 

 

[Race--does it matter?]

Wow I love that picture!

 

I know a lot of people tend to think dark skins and dark hair when they think of me (which I'm trying to change now because I don't want to be boxed into a specific kind of look) but I do enjoy trying on different skins that give me completely different looks. I don't change my shape though, kind of attached to it. 

As for your questions:

1. I don't think I represent any kind of race as I change myself around a lot, and I don't think it matters. 

2. I think skins are getting better and better with more details and more variety. A few years ago it would be very difficult to find a decent dark skin on the grid, now I have an inventory full of them.  Some of my most favorite dark skins are from: Dutch Touch, PXL, Glam Affair and The Body Co. 

 

 

 

 

[Fashion Blogging in Native Languages]

Unfortunately I'm not completely fluent in any other language but I can imagine the familiarity one must feel reading something they can relate to and completely understand. I'm sure if more bloggers blogged in their own language, it would encourage others to do so as well. My only concern is you might lose english only readers. However there are some blogs in other languages I still look at because of their pictures and also google translate is extremely helpful. 

 

 

[What fashion would you like to see more of in Second Life?]

I think we need more gowns. I can never find any gowns to wear.

 

 

[My Passion Gowns: Second Life Fashion Expert Days]

My all-time fav gown is from LeLutka.

[Accessory you wish creators would make more of?]

I love big dangly earrings (in RL too) Some of my favs are from Kunglers, Mandala and Zaara. 

[Real-time Share from Twitter Hashtag #slfashion]

oh wow, that looks great! And I didn't even know about that hashtag on twitter. Going to start following it now. Thanks for the heads up!

 

 

[Felicity's Favorite Blogs]

awwwww you like me! You really like me! Thank you <3

And great choices on the blogs!

[What matters most to you in SL Fashion: Quality or Creativity?]

I agree with what Cajsa said! If it's just a small seam or something, I honestly probably won't even notice it. But quality is a must, especially for photography.  It's hard to get inspired to do a great shot if the item is not made well. 

 

 

[Favorite shoes!]

My favorite shoes on the grid RIGHT NOW are those thigh-high mesh boots from SLink. I love love looooove them!

 

 

and another one of my fav shoes that I actually wore A LOT when I first got them, in so many blog posts were the Edith sandals from Nardcotix. They are just the perfect sandal to wear, simple, sexy and understated.
