I am NOT a fashionista

Wow, it has been three months since my last post. Such is second life and it's peripherals when one is busy in the real one.

I was laughing at the though of having picked up a fashion blog. The truth is, if I had not read it in my blog, I would not have remembered that I had written about fashion in any sense. I retraced my steps looking to see if I still liked, or what I had liked at one point about Wicca's blog, and no longer found it compelling. Sure, it is nice for those of us who have leisure time to kill in SL and have found the human look in SL to be to their liking. I would be a hypocrite to say that I am not passing off as human these days, but it is not the only look I favor. Actually, if I am to post at all about fashion, I should revert to the skins and accouterments put out by the fabulous and extravagant fashionistas of Alpha Tribe. Now we're talking. But of course, not everyone is comfortable in skins other than human skin, and well, it is their loss, really, to miss out on the likes of the fantastic and uncanny offerings by Alpha Tribe and Grim Bros.

I am not fashionista enough. Wicca's blog is still pretty cool in her views and takes on the latest and hottest fashions in SL. Check it out if you are into dresses and such. As for me, I will remain perfectly happy in my Miasnow denim jeans, now super discounted, and still the best rendered ones in the whole of SL.

I once saw a greeting card aimed at friends on their birthday which read something like this: If you can't get rid of it, hide it. And it depicted a couple of ladies of mature body type and countenance wearing an overabundant amount of jewels and baubles and probably even the kitchen sink over their overgrown bellies. I loved it, in retrospect I wish I had bought it, for it seems to have become my mantra. I love jewelry in RL, particularly as it has little or no Avatar Rendering Cost (ARC) and does not add any more lag to my cadence as I walk down the street.

So much for my fashionista days...come and gone in the proverbial blink of an eye.

Now, for those of you who know me, you may be laughing at my expense, for you know I like to change my outfits/avatars as often as I change in RL. Hey, I am a photographer, right? Gotta go with the flow here....

Pffft.
