June Starlight

Finally got my 1st shot yesterday. Fever makes it hard to be productive now, but having it done gave me some peace of mind already.

Look up Enfer Sombre

Wedding planning and coordinating Photography Being a waiter in a restaurant Hosting in a family-friendly venue or a ballroom All sorts of market jobs for various SL businesses Surfing competitions apparently pay their staff (that was a surprise to me), maybe other SL sports do too? Interior design and landscaping That's just some random examples that came to mind Keep in mind, most SL jobs don't create a lot of income, but then might be a good way to try something new or just make a few linens on a side doing stuff you already enjoy doing in SL. My expirience was also making friends with co-workers everywhere I went, so that is another plus! Aside from the forum section linked above I find it useful to look around landing zones - if a place looking for staff, they likely will put a poster there, and that way you might find some opportunities that aren't advertised elsewhere.

GIMP is a good picture editing tool, regardless if you are on a budget or not. It's free and has more functionality than you probably will ever need. It might be a little overwhelming when you first start using it, but as you handled the learning curve of SL itself - shouldn't be a huge problem. Aside from this, editing as a skill, so you could benifit from going through tutorials, having fun trying new tricks and building up your toolbox. YouTube is full of tutorials. I think Happy Hippo building school offers some classes on GIMP in world even, but I will need to check their calendar to be sure.

Double checking the spelling might be a great benefit to your group.

I need a wisdom of forumites for this x) A friend is looking to buy some heels for his male avi. Preferably not stripper type heels. He uses Belleza Jake body, so if anyone can point me to the stores that rig women shoes for it, I will be grateful!

There is also a group called Altamura Friends (or something along the lines) - you can find a group joiner in Altamura body store. It is used for promotions by designers that make Altamura sized clothes. Might be helpful to find more places to shop.

As far as I am aware, you do not have legal right to use real person's photo without signed model release (signed by them it is) and photographer's permission. Celebrity or otherwise. At least for commercial purposes. There are exclusions, but they are rare, and you don't want to go down this rabbit hole if you are not sure what exactly are you doing. It might be also against TOS, but oddly I am more familiar with copyright laws.

People will not (and shall not) work for other person's business for free.

Pretty much me trying to wrestle with real world problems today.

Wow this week was a challenge! The way things are labeled didn't help at all. Coat says it's yellow (okay), top thinks it's color is gold (?) and boots are labeled as #17, which is just... just... but they match everyting else!

I keep my male and female avatars on separate accounts. It's just more convenient to sort inventory, outfits etc. this way, and I can drag my alt in a picture any time my heart desires. Keeping them separate also helps with getting into RP character easier, as I have to do the dance of logging in separate account - sort of "putting a hat" of this character on.

Have you tried using a different skin? Is blackness still there if you change it?

About two days. I have two subfolders in my Advent LMs folder: one for must visit stores and another one for those I am considering to remove from my list. I move LMs between folders as I unpack gifts. I try to keep my list reasonably small, so visiting stores doesn't become a chore.

I have some favs today! Well, one is actually from a couple days ago. Same issue with not having enough time to unpack every day. These pajama pants make me way too happy for no reason at all. Or maaybe because cats. Cats for the win! These are from Eclectic Stars (Dec 2nd giftie... I think). And the little guy on my head is today's gift from Mishmash Fusion!

Talking about skills which could be used outside of SL - my picture editing skills got better, my English as well. I learned A LOT about 3d and making game assets, and what makes a good one (it is still work in progress). Some things about map/level/landscape design. I am better at saying "no" to people without feeling guilty about it. More comfortable approaching strangers and better at small talk. Also, I learned to pay more attention to my surroundings in RL by exploring SL. Was surprised to realize the difference in the way I look at things now while venturing outside for the 1st time after a lockdown.

That was surprisingly easy (Addams fatpacks for the rescue!). And now I want a latte.

My trick for times when I'm in doubdt about colors is to google "Pantone >paste whatever color in here<". A lot or RL interior and clothes designers follow along Pantone color guides. And as a bonus I usually get a few complimentary colors palettes for inspiration.

Depends on a hairstyle AND a type of avatar I am using. One of my alts uses an anime avatar with one of those Utilizator heads. And for her I only buy unrigged modifable hair, because nothing else fits! On my main I prefer rigged hair, because it clips less and moves more naturally with my body. But then again - demo demo demo. As with anything rigged - have to make sure it is made to fit mesh parts I am using.

Threw on a blanket and calling it a day.

I have one of these I think! That's 3-5 houses clustered in a pretty landscaped dome in the sky. Check landmark in my picks if you want, it will take you to our little "neighborhood".

Combining one of those "life HUDs" that require you to consume food with family rp is actually a lot of fun. If that is your kind of thing in the first place, that is. And restaurants are a thing in SL, although I rarely find a reason to go there.

Here go my spending funds for a month! Still considering grabbing petite add on as well. Want going to buy another body, but Maytreya makes fitting clothes so easy, and at half price... I have no willpower I guess. XD Sim surprisingly wasn't too crowded or laggy at all.
