  1. ABSOLUT CREATION (Ginger Chevalier) the maker of the Eve body. Their called Amanda so I had to buy them along with the matching dress which isn't in this picture but is fabulous. They come with sizes for both Eve and Maitreya.
  2. I went dancing in the 1930s last night and this is my outfit. My friend Samantha joined me for the photo shoot. I love her hair.
  3. I went for a walk in Clublane Park in my New Orleans City and took a few pics by the big willow at the duck pond. Not the best boots for walking on dirt but I'm very talented that way.
  4. Yeah the display didn't do it justice. I might have to go back and get a couple of more colors now that I've seen it on me. The corset and skirt have color huds and you can turn the corset off.
  5. I went shopping at the Engine Room too. I didn't mech out like Skell and Seicher but I did get this dress. I bought a few gadgets I'll likely work into future pics. The pics are at the Continental Navy fortress in the Pirates Destiny estate.
  6. Yes there weren't many makers. There are more now but not as many as you'd think for Lelutka heads. When I got my first mesh head, Lelutka Simone was the only one I could make the demos look something like my system face which was important to me. Luckily the skin maker I was using sold my old skin as an applier for Simone then but she doesn't do much for Lelutka anymore and the old skin layers are lower resolution than new BoM. The new line of heads from Lelutka has cause other makers to start making some that work in the shades I need.
  7. I bought a new skin Glam Affair just released. I've been looking for one for some time but it's hard to find one in the darker skin tones. It's designed for one of the new Lelutka head but this is on Simone. I'll have to work on the shape on the new head but for now it works on this one.
  8. I sometimes do this when sailing in a ship battle if it seems very laggy. The view is not as important as it is for most sailing. I just need to see the other ships. It does seem to help a lot along with turning off transparent water.
  9. Is that a mainland region you own half of? You have to be premium to own mainland and as I mentioned region owners, estate managers, and Residents with Premium accounts are given preferred access to crowded regions. The bonus capacity of a region depends on the type of region. Full regions are +10% and homesteads are +25%. It's not related to groups. If a full region has a capacity set at 100 then 10 more avies can get in if they meet the above restrictions. I'd guess you are premium.
  10. How would they give a priority on getting into a region based on a group membership? Standard region controls provided by LL won't do this. I can limit those entering my region to just one specific group but there is no way to give priority access to a group. I understand the new Estate Access Management project viewer allows having multiple allowed groups but as far as I know it still doesn't allow for giving priority entrance to a select group. The only priority given to access that I know of is SL premium members.
  11. I went dancing at Silhouettes again. It's a diesel punk 1930s era club. Here are some posed pics of my outfit and one action snapshot. Those are never as good.
  12. Keep in mind that mitigation was never meant to save anyone from getting the virus. The point is to "flatten the curve." The amount of space under the curve is the same which means the number of people infected is the same with or without mitigation. The purpose is to spread the infection out over time so our medical system is not overwhelmed by the sheer numbers hitting it all at once. It saved lives of people who would not receive treatment at all if the system had been overwhelmed as it seems to have been in Italy and other places. The virus is still going to infect most of us eventually. The only way it could prevent people being infected in the long run would be if a vaccine was produced quickly but that seems unlikely.
  13. Their more fun with cannons. Of course you do end up in the water a lot more often as your ship sinks out from under you.
  14. I love the picture. Isn't that a quote from the movie Master and Commander: Far Side of the World? The movie is good the books are wonderful. I wish they'd based the movie on one of the books and not tried to jam two of them together that took place a decade apart in the chronology of the books. Master and Commander being book 1 and Far Side of the World book 10. Admiral Nelson's advice really depends on the ships involved. In SL ship battles you don't want to go straight at a 12 gun broadside (the largest broadside on the typical boats used) with your 2 bow guns. Basic math means you'll be sunk. You have to maneuver to get the angle where you take less damage than the other ship. In fleet battles you need to stick together and support each other which is easier said than done.
  15. This is from my first week in SL (November 2006) at the Shelter. This is a year or so later after I became a neko which I still am a lot of the time.
  16. I spoke too soon earlier. I crashed at 1pm slt and can't get back in on any account. Of course I had an event scheduled for 1pm slt which someone seems to have cancelled since only 2 people showed up.
  17. I've been logged in for about 3 hours and didn't have any problems and I have a about 150000 inventory.
  18. The eyebrows on the first one don't look right to me so I'd go with number 2.
  19. Not really since I'd have left SL sometime in early 2007 and have totally forgotten about it by now if I had to do all that.
  20. Some of us use system avies for using vehicles in SL. I'm normally full mesh but when I'm sailing I strip down to something more basic in the hopes of having less lag and xing problems. @Zeta Vandyke describes exactly what I do. It's a great way to be able to updated my basic look without having to do updates on many outfits.
  21. My first car was a 1969 Austin Healey Sprite. It was identical to the better known MG Midget, the motor had MG markings. That was the most fun car to drive I've ever driven. I only had it a year as it really needed to be owned by a mechanic who do their own work.
  22. The pink ship wasn't part of history but I have been using pink ships in SL ship battles for a while now. Along with the striped sails with the snake from the Continental Navy Jack (we are the Continental Navy), the pink ships have become my signature. Skell is right and his link is pretty good about pink being considered a masculine color. Some 18th century military units had pink as part of their uniform. In the Napoleonic wars era they used a riot of colors. In the mid Victorian era (mid 1800s) male babies were dressed in pink and female in blue. It was the early 20th century before the modern pink and blue associations were cemented. Of course this is in Western European cultures, particularly English speaking.
