Comments:
This will be the first in a series of several entries regarding Wintry Ware. It’s a favourite time of year in SL; when landscapes become chilly, foliage is frosty and we are compelled to adorn ourselves in appropriately warmer attire (except for those adventurous among you who are driven to romantic encounters atop the ice — for you, I suggest at least a blanket).
And speaking of sex on an icy beach, these next few entries will take me out of the Photosphere and onto my own lands. This is also the reason that I have not blogged of late — I’ve been a tad occupied transforming four sims in a winter wonderland with my Lady and neighbours. As most of the lands are open to the public, please do come visit any time. Our winterization, while still a work in progress in areas, will be active until March 1, 2010.
Pardon the enormous image sizes, but I confess to showing off not only the ensembles, but my lands as well.

Background
I often say that avatars come in all shapes and sizes, and it is this variety that maintains avatar diversity Second Life, which in turn is what makes Second Life such a fantastic realm to explore. However, for some, as it was for myself, creating a pleasing shape shortly after entering Second Life can be a daunting task. Nearly three years ago, whilst travelling the Grid with newbie eyes wide open, I observed that most males had extremely broad shoulders and thick limbs that would put Arnold Schwarzenegger to shame. Moreover, most men’s heads were either far too small or even too large for their bodies – usually the former.

First, I would like to make a public apology to Calamity’s creator, Ariel Zuhal, for inferring severe malcontent with one of her creations in one of my recent blog posts. My intent is never to malign – if it were, I would write day and night about creators and creations that are not sympathetic to consumers, but that is seriously not my desire. I would sooner spend money on amazing outfits and share my findings with my fellow fashion-lovers.

Introduction
With all of my ranting these days and railing against improperly used resizing scripts, I thought that I would locate some item resizing tutorials. I found a resizing tutorial for hair (always useful) where the techniques outlined can easily be applied to any other worn object. There are more tips and tricks that could be utilized in resizing non-hair objects, and as I find other tutorials, I will post their links here. If anyone reading my blog knows of any others, I would also be grateful for links.

Name of Ensemble:Gentlemen Take Polaroids
Creator: Ariel Zuhal
Shoppe: Calamity
Comments:
Do I ever feel like Mr. Negativity these days! Apologies in advance for another slightly malcontented review. I’m determined to find something light and positive for my next post.
I have been keeping tabs of Calamity’s creations on XStreet for some time now and this week decided to purchase one of their ensembles. The spread of style on their offerings are reasonably varied although heavily “Gothic”, leading to my hopefulness that I’d found a new creator I could count on to supply me with fanciful elegant gothic attire every now and then. Sadly, that will not be the case (unless they modify their creations drastically), which is unfortunate as the general styles and textures are quite nice.

Name of Ensemble:Viscount Black Seas
Creator: Raven Pennyfeather
Shoppe: Rfyre
Comments:
I enjoy spotting an ensemble that I am fairly convinced will perfectly suit either my human or fox self. I took one look at Rfyre’s new Viscount and knew that fox had to have it.
Admittedly, I have not bought any Rfyre ensembles for some time, not really finding most of their offerings in the past year to my taste, but I thought — why not? Fox gets what he wants. Do you want to tell him “No”?

Name of Ensemble:Valeries Suit Black
Creator: Azriel Demain
Shoppe: Falln
Comments:
Almost three years ago the first suit I bought was Lord Lace by sf Designs. The second suit I bought was Falln’s Arachnid. I thought at that time, naively, that I couldn’t possibly afford clothes in Second Life and how many suits do I need any way? Mind, if my RL coat closet alone is any indication, I should have known better. Fast forward nearly 3 years later and I have more than 100 ensembles and Falln still remains one of my favourite creators.
Azriel Demain is incredibly prolific and quite unstoppable in his creation endeavours. For this, I am most grateful.

I, sadly, have attended very few fashion shows/exhibits in SL, and would always like to attend more. Unfortunately, timing has often been incompatible given my busy schedule.
However, this past weekend, timing was good for Shenlei Flasheart’s Mainely Men Corporate Menswear event. And so I went, accompanied by my Lady, Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks. The models and attendees were very congenial. The environment, while a little different (and I do like the unique), was skillfully arranged, and quite ingenious. Although it may seem unusual to view models showcasing corporate fashion wares in the midst of a forest, the experience was extremely pleasant.
