So I guess I have been on break (finally) from school and really, I haven't gone around the grid at all. I realized that I may not have enough time to be on SL so I downgraded my account to basic for the time being. I can't really keep with it as much as I used to. Too many things keep coming out, too many events, requirements, etc ...

Though my RL is kind of slow, I has it? I'm sort of enjoying that more. Work with the fucking Dark Knight (been sold out ever since its 72 hours straight run on opening weekend) can be stressful but it's part of RL ... The summer movie scene? I want me some of that. Teehee, Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder look neat. Lollapalooza with LollaLounge privileges? Nothing like avoiding 75,000+ people. Hangin' at the beach? I dig it.

I may come back to SL someday. I'll probably still hit it at least once a week still just to pay rent but for now, I see nothing in the long run. I seriously can't keep with it. It's like after a while with Animal Crossing, it just gets too much.

If you feel like, I float. Emails at violet.xingjian@gmail.com. Sorries for being not so reliable a model, all agencies I am with. I can shoot but I am no good wiff runway shows T_T.

Finally, school is near the end! I have one more class only I finished everything so I'm free to slack already. I'm like broke phi broke (as usual) since summer school was too much. Y'know, working less in turn making less but spending more because of art supplies.

Seems that I'm pretty damned behind but I don't think I'll be catching up anytime soon. Eh, I have shitloads of crap anyways, I'll get by. Wing it with what I have for now ... Hopefully join up with Scar or something with the studio.

If not that, game elsewhere. I do in fact have a Wii and Harvest Moons come in August :D!

So I was doing my daily rounds of SL fashion blogs and stumbled upon the creations of katat0nik. It managed to make my outfit for today complete.



I absolutely loved all the gear I found at katat0nik. At this point, I had drained my funds on awesome things from GearShift (note the kickass jacket?) and skins ... I only had the money for a pair of boots but I absolutely love them! The texture is beautiful and something I haven't really seen before.

Speaking of skins, I finally got a chance to grab some Chai skins a few days ago since Miss Launa Fauna treated everyone to a short gift card sale. Though I didn't care for the way the darkest shade looked on my shape, I found the lighter shades oh so much cuter.



Oh man, then there was the fact the goddess of goth Helyanwe Vindaloo had some scattered releases just in a few weeks. I love doo-dads on hair ... Especially the multicoloured variety.

I start summer school on Tuesday and have two concerts this weekend. I've been lazing about but I'm glad I got to grab such neat things while bored on the grid. Check out these joints, just search for them ... and they will come ... ... (via search)... ... (I'm lazy to link/tp, sorry).

So, I keep seeing these and I haven't gotten around doing it so here!



Kinda cool only I don't know the majority of the people identified, har. Get your own.

So when Sunrae Moonbeam posted the offer to preview the new skin range of PXL Creations' Linda line, I totally wanted to try it out. I'm new with this writing about fashion thing so bear with me while I attempt to do a skin review, har.

While I was sent all the ranges (from fair to dark), I was most interested in the dark (obviously).



The new line will have the following as its darkest shade, a fashion tan, sunkissed, light and as said, fair. I had previously encountered the skins while wandering the fashion feeds and thought the tan was great and the dark from this new line is as well ... Pretty much darker to my liking.

I love the overall tone and how my avie actually looks ok in it. She's a tricky shape to work with and the skin works well. Finally a new line with good work to the usually abandoned darks.

My only problem with the skins were some of the details.



It may just be my own preference but while I love how the makeup/face turned out, the body portion kinda weirds me out. For a realistic skin, it's pretty well on the dot but the lines are too much to my liking. Wrinkles make me scared slightly, har.

I hope to pickup the pack of darks once they come out this coming Monday. And if you were looking forward to the more common lighter shades, PXL does no wrong with those so check it. I don't have them pictured because hey, too excited by well done darks. Props, Hart Larsson.

Just FYI, my attempt at a shop is going down. The partner hasn't been on SL for ages and recently cancelled the credit card used to pay for it. So that's that.

If anyone is interested in anything, all items will be on OnRez, all items costing L$90 (even packs and such) because I am lazy to go through each of them over again. Also, I don't think anyone wants 'em but eh well. Just saying, y'all.
