Sorry if you have been waiting for me to post again. Life has been a mess here. May is always a hectic month and this year it was even busier than normal. So as to if this blog will be back to updating every day....I'm sorry to say no. I Plan on updating once a week. That will give me time to take some good shots, edit them, find the SLURL if it's not in the main sites database, and think of something more to say than...uh this place is pretty. He He. I plan on still continuing my series on avatars, the next in line being neko's. I am also going to touch on some subjects of interest in different communities as I travel. But as I said, it will switch to once a week. I'm going to try to set one day a week that is steady so that you know when to expect something from me.
As the grid changes from time to time, I may touch back on an area thats added something special, or vanished. I will also update some of my older blogs with SLURL's as I find them. *Yesh I'm bad about forgetting what landmark was for what, lol*
Thanks for reading!
*PS. Thats inside my house ^-^*
Hope Your Easter was as Wild and Crazy as Mine was! ^-~
Lets start out in what I know best, Furry.
With Lost Furest Creatures reopening its doors with a new look I thought now was as good a time as any to start talking about avatars. If avatar looks was a college class, I'd have at least an associates by now. =^-^=So I figured I'd share my knowledge a bit.
Since I mentioned them first lets start off at Lost, They are not hard to find, you can look up Lost Furest in Search and you will get there no problems, but if your a quick fix like me heres the SLURL.
They have a good array of avatars to choose from, all very well put together. You can choose from mammals, canines both wild and domestic, felines, hybrids and recently added a tribal wolf. They have added new designers to thier line and have great selection. I have three of thier avatars and wear them often. All thier avatars are personal mod, so you can change as you like. And if you lose something in an inventory glitch, as long as you have the origional box, you can replace the whole avatar in a click.
Next up is the first maker in SL Luskwood, They also have quite the selection. Thier prices are varried from avatar to avatar style, which personally I do and don't like. I have three from this seller as well. They have a good eye for detail and some creatures that are unique to thier vendors alone.
Luskwood in general is a good place to explore and relax as they host events on thier main platform and around the area. They have a great sense of community and are very welcoming.
Ninja Weasel Studios is another maker of furry avatars. They have some of the species that are harder to find, such as otters, hedgehogs, and hyenas. They also have some of the mythical creatures, such as gargoyles and unicorns. I don't actually have any of thier avatars, but from those I've seen in them, they look to be well put together.
The Zoo by Brandi is another maker of harder to find furry avatars, she carries deer, lemurs and many other hard to find but great looking avatars.
Then you get into the more realistic furry forms, closer to your werewolves than what most consider furry. This is what the Werehouse specializes in. They have weres of every color, as well as anthro foxes, tigers and bears, oh my! You can also get a very well put together feral ( meaning good old scampering through the forrest on all fours typical ) animal, of wich I have one. Its my only avatar from this maker, and I like it for when I want to scout an are unnoticed. You can also get some interesting hybrids here.
One place I miss and I know others do too, is an area we lost in sl with the copybot issue. There was a maker there that had some of the most interesting furry avatars I've seen. They were of the elements mixed with a furry. I only wish I hadn't been short of lindens the day I found them.
There are many different makers out there of Furry avatars, so if your interested or looking for one, try typing furry avatars in search and watch the list it pulls up. There are macro furs, and avatars that look like stuffed animals, tinys and some wild and wooly ones out there. And thats just the furrys!
Next time I'll move from furry to neko, One of my other favorite forms =^-^=
Being Valentines Day and all, I thought a few special places to take your sweetie
First off, Seagrape is a romantic place to take somone you love and have a special area all to your self. There are themed areas that once two people walk in, a little sign and velvet rope pops up saying that the area is occupied. Each area is themed differently and all very relaxing. There is a chapel to have a wedding at, and the area also hosted the Slurgis festival recently.
Second on my list is some peaceful time in a quaint french village. Intemptseta Nox is absolutly the spot for this. Its built by some of the same people who built Svarga and is chock full of textures to make your eyes pop, in a good way. Weither your sitting at a table chatting or romantically dancing in the fountian. This is a great spot to propose or just spend some time with somone special. ( By the way, not too far up the hill, they are finishing the Paris Opera House. The area is based off the small villiage in The Phantom of the Opera. ) I will definatly be spending some serious time searching this place.
And last on my list but not least, is a little italian cafe. I looked up Italy in the serch tab and found out that there was a little shopping to be found. Also in the area was a quaint cafe and so I sat a while. Though I could not get my Babbler to work for me, so I could not understand what was said around me, but I had a good time none the less.
I know there are many, many more romantic spots out there, but I coudn't list them all here. I wish you all a Happy Valentines Day. As for me, Ill be spending some quality time with a special someone ^-~.
While the update was being applied, I wandered around some of the popular places of sl through others..and I found a place that caught my eye. The Doodle House. So you know just what I did when I logged back on, I hit that ever popular search button.
When I arrived I found myself in a quaint little neighborhood. Cute little homes every where and very nice clean streets. I spotted a pavilion and snagged a seat so I could get a quick look around the area that surrounded the doodle house.
Just outside the pavilion was a car that looked like it had just hopped off the page, so I headed over. It was a sample of the Doodle Car, so I rezzed a trial car and took it for a drive. I have to say, it was one of the smoothest rides I've had in sl so far. It was fun, you hop in and in the window of the doodle car, a doodle of a driver pops into the window. ^-^
Just across the way was a memorial, so I headed over to it. They seem to be very concious in this area, as there were two memorials that I found.
I also found a soccer field, though, I didn't play -_- no one to play with.
Then I headed back to the spot I'd teleported in to and used the red box to teleport up to the Doodle House. The Doodle house looks like someone sat down and drew a home on a doodle pad.
Everything is as flat as paper but still very fun. The only things here that are 3D are the some of the furniture pieces. That way you can sit in front of the black and white fire. ^-^
You can go out the front door and into the front yard, but I don't recommend walking far as the Doodle House is way up in the air. There is a bit of color out on the lawn as the bushes in front are green. ( Not sure why, but it seemed at the time, that pouncing the mail box....was the fun thing to do. lol)
So, if you feel like it, drop by the Doodle House, perhaps it will inspire a doodle of your very own. ^-^ Now where did I put that pen and paper?
