Shopping For Mesh - Tea Couturier reporting

Mesh…how did we ever survive without it I hear you ask?

As content creators are getting better, it has only made our choices even harder on what to buy and wear.

If you are not sure what is new out or even what is available, never fear here is my list of what I feel is hot for now. However, instead of featuring mesh clothing, I am going to feature mesh for your body, which I feel is becoming popular now.


RiRi Inspired mesh head


I think this is very clever as it looks so life like. If you have ever wanted to look like a famous person then here is your chance. This is a Rihanna inspired mesh head, intended for personal use, whether for avatar appearance or learning. This version of the head is non modifiable and only includes a makeup HUD, including 6 makeup types which I think is very good as it allows you change your look easily.
The content creator does other mesh heads also.
Priced at L$1499





Slink AvEnhance Hands Female – Casual and Slink

AvEnhance Hands Male – Relax

As we all know, Slink make excellent mesh hands and feet, so it would not be surprising to find it in my list of mesh body parts. You can find several female hands with different finger poses, but I picked this one as I felt it had more of a causal feel and look to it for any occasion, but you can purchase which ever you feel works for you.  This is the female hand and they also do male hands.

 Features:
Left and Right hand for mixing hand types.
Works with appliers for Skins, Nails, Gloves, Tattoos
Left and Right Gloves and Tattoo options
Priced L$450




  

Slink AvEnhance Feet Female Flat


These flat feet will only work with shoes made for Slink Flat Feet. I have picked these as I feel, to me,they look more natural when worn, as your feet are not always on tip toe. Again,  Slink have done an excellent job on these feet and has made my list for mesh body parts.

Price L$675




Slink Physique Mesh Body

This is not a "shape" or a "skin". It is a fitted mesh female body replacement for your SL avatar body. It will work with the included shapes OR your own shape!
You must have at least basic shaders and hardware skinning on for this body to work properly.
I am new to mesh bodies, so have chosen a creator who I know,  and I know there are quite a few stores in SL which create mesh bodies but, to begin with, I think this is a good starting point.
Price L$ 1250



These are just a few mesh body parts you can purchase in SL and I am sure if you are new to mesh body parts then you will have a lot of fun a little tip if a demo if offered purchase the demo first.




Happy Shopping!

A Few Popular Romantic Destinations in Second Life- Tea Couturier Reporting...


It is always better to get involved in activities with a companion When it comes to romance in Second Life there is no shortage of things to do. Most couples love to spend time together. Whether it be home alone or out and about. Finding that perfect venue in SL that brings out the romance can be very important in relationships.

Depending on the type of music you want to listen to there are so many venues which offer couples that one on one romantic time they require. Here are just a few places I found and have also been to myself.


Frank's Place Jazz Club
If you are looking for a popular romantic venue to go to then Franks Place Jazz Club is perfect. There are 3 sims, each beautifully decorated and all playing Jazz music. It is also a formal venue so appropriate attire is required
Franks Place Jazz Club   
Bogarts  
Franks Elite Jazz Club    (membership only 500L)


FOXXIES
One of my favourite venues is Foxxies. This venue has a lot to offer for you and your partner after dancing.  For example there are balloon or horse and carriage rides. The venue is beautifully decorated and is an intimate setting but you won’t feel as though you are too close to other couples when dancing.




Intimate Romance Garden
If you are looking for a venue for you and your partner to end the night just dancing then this is a perfect venue for you. It is set near the ocean and it is a medium size venue but you are still able to find a little corner to dance on a busy night. Set in a romantic theme it definitely is a great venue to add to your date night.



Sweethearts Jazz Club
This venue is popular and has changed since I was last here as it has a non-formal part at the entrance and at the back behind the bar you will find the formal section. Still set in an impressive building the music is still as lovely as I remember. It is worth the visit.



Keeping the romance fresh and new is the key to a long and happy relationship. Be sure to check out these venues and keep your date night itinerary exciting.

Happy Date Night!

Have you ever wanted to match your partner. I don’t mean like twins but in outfits that accent each other? Well, it is possible to do it without looking tacky.
It can be difficult advising your partner what to wear but I have found a few items of clothing which your partner is sure to love and you will both look great together.

Formal wear

New summer 2015 CoCo is a laid back outfit that has it all. Black leather jacket with choice of silver or gold hardware that you can wear with or without the under blouse.

Spotlight on AviewTV’s LaPiscean Liberty Tea Couturier Reporting...




When you think about SL TV you automatically think of AviewTV. It has been an institution in our SL lives for a long time and is still going strong  with the demand  for Machinima and increase of SL residence wanting to know what is occurring in our SL world.
PAGE BREAK.
LaPiscean Liberty is the founder of AviewTV and still continues to provide Machinima and media the residence of SL need and require. He was kind enough to meet me to talk about AviewTV and also learn a little about the man behind Machinima media.


Tea.  Could you please tell us a bit about yourself and how you came about joining SL?
LaPiscean: As I live some distance from my Daughter, Cherub Spectre in SL, I joined to spend time with her. She is Founder and CEO of PixelTrix in SL.

Tea. You’re the Founder/CEO of AviewTV, how did the Aviewtv begin?
LaPiscean: Around 2008, A friend of mine, Rysan Fall of Fall films and I were talking about how to promote the filmmakers in SL, as most never heard of most of us. I say us because I no longer make films. I realized I would never make films as well as other have, so I decided to promote those that do. My friend Rysan said, why don’t you create your own network, like others have done in SL but more of a commercial programing network. So I agreed and started to develop some resources that would best promote the filmmakers as a community. Hence we started "Community Driven Programming".

Tea. Do you feel that since starting the AviewTV SL has changed throughout the years and has this affected the media industry?
LaPiscean: I feel the changes that SL has made to its platform has only made the media resources in SL better. Such as media on a prim, or shared media. Machinima has become a very good marketing tool for LL as well. Bringing the filmmakers together as a community in SL has brought a wealth of information to the filmmakers, such as technique, style, as well as inspiration and comprehension.


Tea. You hold quite a few top position in SL such as "UWA Machinima / Virtual Media Advisor / Archivist" and Cutting Edge Concert Events / Partner LEA Board Member how did you get involved with these industries?

LaPiscean: Simple really, (short version) When I first came to SL, people were very friendly and forthcoming with help and advice. The community was small in 05, and Lindens were around commonly. In developing my own international Avatar, I spoke to each person as if they were a Linden, because they were around in resident identity as well, with the most helpful manner I could muster. You never knew and still don't know who your speaking with really. So in this spirit I always wanted to help others accomplish what they were trying to do. This led to these positions more than anything. But I love Art, and Rock & Roll to and I have been web casting since AOL. So combining my interests and experience this is what led me to be lucky enough to become involved with these organisations in SL.

Tea. Can you tell us a bit about Slartist and how it came about?
LaPiscean: Slartist started out as a domain only about the same time as Metanomics started out in SL, with Robert Bloomfield. I got the domain as part of a resource list I had made to develop a site for film community. The domain went unused or parked for years, until AviewTV had run its course with development, meaning outdated and new resources were required to meet the needs of community.

Tea. What do you like to do when you are not working in SL?
LaPiscean: When am I NOT working in SL? I DO love playing chess with friends and folks from around the globe. I also like cooking and working outdoors, weather permitting.


Tea. What is next for you for the rest of 2015?
LaPiscean: Basically finish up some development on some of the networks other sites such as https://aviewbox.com which is a file sharing site like dropbox or you send it., Also working on the next generation AviewTV at http://beta.aviewtv.com which you may log into now with existing AviewTV account name and password. In 2016 be we will be looking forward to producing/launching  http://aviewcart.com, which will be a 3D content, multivendor shopping site, where members will sell content. We want to build a network site for the opensim community as well with the domains http://hypergridtv.com and http://opensimtv.com Right now these domains point to Slartist.

Tea:  It looks as though we have a lot more too look forward too from AviewTV
