Ich fand dieses Bandana so toll, das es auf der Hair Fair für 50 L$ gibt und hab mal im Inventar gesucht, was dazu passt.

Als Erstes fand ich den “Georgie”-Rock von “Skin Flicks” in einem schönen blaugrau. Der Farbton wiederholt sich im Bandana. Er wird in zwei Versionen geliefert, einmal mit, einmal ohne Gürtel. Der Gürtel ist braun – fand ich nicht so prickelnd dazu, also ohne angezogen.

Das “Crochet ruffle top” in hellblau von “Reale” passt wie die Faust auf’s Auge zum breiten Rand des Bandana.

Von “Nyte ‘n Day” passt der weiße “Clasp belt” hervorragend. Da er auf dem Jacket-Layer getragen wird, muss man sich keine Sorgen ums Anpassen wegen ausladender Hüften machen :-) .

Dann nur noch Kreolen an die Ohren – diese sind von “Shai” – und von “Earthtones” die “Beaded Bangles in ice”.

Schuhe? Nö. Am Besten barfuß :)

Die Amerikaner haben ihren July 4th und feiern ihr Land an diesem Tag überall mit großen Festen und Parties. Fast alle Amerikaner sind stolz auf ihr Land, stolz auf ihre Nationalität und zeigen das auch.

In vielen SL-Shops werden Outfits zur Feier des heutigen Tages kostenlos oder sehr günstig angeboten. Witzige, verrückte und elegante Kleidung in den amerikanischen Nationalfarben.

Wie ist das eigentlich bei uns in Deutschland ? Haben wir einen ähnlichen Nationalstolz ? Haben wir einen so großen Feiertag wie den amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitstag ? Gibt es in der deutschen Geschichte Ereignisse, durch die wir das Recht verwirkt haben, stolz darauf sein zu dürfen, dass wir Deutsche sind, duruch die wir das Recht verwirkt haben, unser Land feiern dürfen ? Hat “Nationalstolz” für Deutsche einen schlechten Beigeschmack ?

Wer von uns würde in SL stolz Kleidung in den Farben schwarz-rot-gold tragen und welchen Feiertag würden wir uns aussuchen?

Dieses Kleid “Miss Germany” ist von “Simone”. Im Paket sind drei verschiedene Röcke.

ModernMartha


4thI’ve been procrastinating putting my stuff on xStreets for a long time. I’m promising to put all my items there eventually! Since it’s the 4th of July, I thought I better get my Modern Martha Gown on there. So here it is! Woot!

Modern Martha on xStreets

A French silhouette combined with American colors and symbols and a sexy corset top, this dress is a twist between Martha Washington, Marie Antoinette, and the modern woman. This gown set has been created with attention to the smallest detail. It has 4 skirt options made with realistic looking draping fabric and an attachable corset piece, also an option for the bow and medal without the corset piece. This isn’t your typical patriotic outfit in SL, wear this to a 4th of July celebration and stand out as a classy sophisticated and sexy woman.

*all layers available for clothing pieces
*sculpted corset piece with sculpted bow adornment
*sculpted bow adornment by itself
*4 skirt options all with matching glitch pants on all layers
*prims are all mod/copy which allows for more colors and options!

Beach Babe

While Rhodesy was entertaining you all with her first guest post, I decided to take a little break and head back to the beach on Mirabella.  It’s hard to keep me away from the ocean while I’m logged into our virtual home; probably as hard as it would be to keep me away if I lived near one in RL.  Of course, having these sexy swimsuits doesn’t hurt either.

African Arts Parade & Festival in Brooklyn (pics, video)

african arts parade - 2I happened to hear the sounds of a marching band from my apartment and rushed down to see a parade for the International African Arts Festival rolling past my building up Fulton Avenue.  Those dancers are so cute!

African Arts Festival goers will discover live music, dance, spoken word performances, African marketplace, showcase performances, fashion, and hair shows.  Children of all ages will enjoy an exciting children’s program featuring storytelling,  clowns, and a youth talent search. This year’s theme is “Mashariki” which means "The East" in the language of Swahili.

The African Arts Festival runs this weekend until Sunday July 5 at Commodore Barry Park (Google Map.)

INTERPRETING MR. CRAPPY


INTERPRETING MR. CRAPPYLast week or so, I was poking around Violet Voltaire’s shop and I found Mr. Crappy and the matching earrings tucked quietly into an upstairs corner. The earrings were labeled as an April Fools’ Joke but I’m not so sure. … Now I’m already an admirer of Ms. Voltaire’s slightly subversive humor as seen at times in her products. Seeing Mr. Crappy, I thought I caught a whiff of her dark humor that I think I’d like to discuss.

The Hair Fair in Second Life: virtual hair raises real dollars for Locks of Love this weekend!

hairfair2_skyview2
This is the last weekend of the "Hair Fair" in Second Life, an innovative fundraiser for the "Locks of Love" charity.  Locks of Love, for those that don't know, is a nonprofit that provides hair for kids who have undergone chemotherapy or other medical procedure that causes them to lose their hair. For the last couple of years, a bunch of Second Life residents have been organizing the Hair Fair fundraiser to provide thousands of real world dollars to Locks of Love. Last year they raised nearly $10,000!

You can teleport directly to Hair Fair at this link.


hairfair_demo5hairfair_demo2hairfair_demo3hairfair_demo

If you aren't in Second Life, you don't understand what a big deal virtual hair is.  The "slider hair" you create when you join Second Life is the most visible evidence that you are a noob.  And hair is one of those hard-wired human forms of expression that has translated directly into Second Life.  Literally thousands of dollars are exchanged every month to purchase meticulously designed "prim hair" for your avatar. 

The Hair Fair is four sims worth of vendors selling their prim hair at bargain prices, with most or all of the proceeds going to Locks of Love. I love the idea that you can buy virtual hair for your avatar that can translate into real world hair for a kid that really needs it.

purple hair aituiI ended up buying a couple of nice hair items from Aitui, after trying on several wacky creations by various hair artists.  Lots of demo pieces are available to try out before you buy.  In general, there are many more offerings for women than men, which I suppose should not be surprising.  Still I found lots of great stuff my my male avatar.

Check out this cool promo video for Hair Fair created by my peeps at Ill Clan.

Oh yea! What is summer without an all girls sleepover. ehh.. maybe just for me XD The activities normally includes 1. a crazy dress up time and 2. the mandatory movie marathon. Just drawing your attention to a few items. *pokes* Firstly, the unmatching socks in outfit one are a recent find from DemiDemi. There is a whole wall of socks which are cheap, funky and cute there. Mother Goose is a shop I previously blogged about. I visited the shop yet again the other day and spotted this pack of scarfs for 10L (?) I just adore the simplicity of it and really add a different feel to this outfit in my opinion. Oh, Mother goose is directly beside newreem’s store Duboo so do check it out. Psst, I heard she just released more cute tees <3. On to the 2nd outfit, I gotta say, the notice from sugarcube about its new release came at a perfect timing. I was standing around the studio when I saw the notice for this pair of pants. Next thing I knew, I was standing in the shop buying them. I threw on the pair of checkered slacks from the unreleased Modd G. men line (releasing in a week or so). I was jokingly saying yesterday that it should be called “ah gong” *which stands for grandpa/old men, whichever way you use it* as they look like a pair of pants my late grandpa used to wear. XD They simply look extremely comfy! I totally agree with what Abra said in one of her last posts. Surf Couture definitely win the “SL Fashion” award for creating the best summer basics this year, especially with such an awesome pair of sandals for sale. I craved and bought the N2 Elizabeth skin from blowpop. The freckles are irresistable! Blowpop has a 30% off at its mischief location till the end of today. So if you havn’t got it yet.. get it! No sleepover is complete without some cute stuff toys. The teddy bear from the 1st picture is a one I won from one of those carnival games. Btw, the dogs in the 2nd picture are photoshopped in. The stocks are avaliable on deviant art if anyone’s interested. That’s all for now! Have a Happy 4th of July! <3<3

Hi everyone :)

I released a new collection called “Jeanne” in my main store in Tropical Orchid. last week but I didn’t get a chance to announce it in iheart’s blog as I am currently away in the UK and will be back sometime later this month.

This new collection called “Jeanne” is great for salsa dancing and stepping out in style in clubs and parties.

Jeanne comes in several assorted colours giving you several great options for dress skirt styles and there is also a lingerie set option. The fabric pattern, shading and clothing creases in the outfits are all hand drawn artworks by Nicky Ree.

Cheers

Midnight shadows at KONA studios


Some Shadow Pics

I too have been playing with the hidden shadow procedures in the latest SL viewers (like Snow Globe). Like the introduction of WindLight into the release clients the first iterations of any new feature are going to have some rough edges. With a moderately powerful video card you too can run shadows ( 8000 series and above for Nvidia) . There will be a performance hit though, my frame rate halved, but it was still usable for most SL uses. The more powerful your card the better. Now for the pics:

I chose ABBA Svenska for the model this time around as she tends to show up better in dark lighting conditions. I did not want to touch up these photos so you’ll get an accurate feel as what you may expect.

Half lit Abba -1

Local time is 5pm. I have her standing upstairs facing west. It’s hard to see but she even casts shadows on herself. One glitch I have noticed is that the avatar body will cast a full shadow at first, but after a couple of minutes the body shadow dissipates and shrinks to disconnected balls.

Half lit Abba -4

Remember the early days of WindLight? Yup the glowy Go’auld eyes are back.

Half lit Abba -5

Fast forward to 5:38 PM local time. Look to the right. Notice the ferns? They cast shadows on themselves. Also, look on the glass. Is that a reflection? I’ve seen reflections in water, but on prims? I recall way back in January 2007 some of the first look clients had avatar reflections on certain prim objects.

Abba at midnight in the Shadows

Nighttime  with shadows is even darker, even if you are fair skinned like the lovely ABBA. Set to local midnight the moonlight causes the prim hair to casts a shadow over her face and chest.

Midnight shadows at KONA studios

Items set to glow or made bright really stand out. Perhaps this like the eyes are something else that needs to be tweaked before release.

So far it looks pretty promising. Here’s to the future of SL!

Emotions and expressions


Visiting my friend's business B&A Ascii gesture. For 30L, you can buy those IM art that conveys a special emotion, shout outs, or congratulations. They've been in business for almost two years and just seems to be selling more and more. I like the ASCII art because it rapidly conveys emotions without too much work for the mind. Even with the best graphic, sometime it's those simple and thorough expression, such as LOL or LMAO, that gets to the heart of what we want to say

Land flipper adds to Zindra woes

When you're in the position of fighting to get your own way and insisting you're following the right path, you need a little bit of help at times. Help for Linden Lab at this time can come from residents. Those who have already moved to Zindra can rightly point out that the process is working.

However what you don't need is some numpty upsetting the applecart and alas, this is what happened when a resident whose reason for getting a full sim swap to Zindra was already being questioned, then went and did something extremely silly, they set the sim on Zindra for sale for the sum of L$1,000,000.

This undermines Linden Lab's claims that the first settlers in Zindra, those who are entitled to the free moves, are those who are most severely impacted by the new adult content policy. Linden Lab really don't need this sort of thing happening at this time.

The options open to Linden Lab are slim as they fully intend to auction land on Zindra, they can hardly ban reselling of land when they themselves intend to do it, but maybe they should point out to people that this sort of profiteering during the land migration period really isn't on. Whilst technically it's allowed, ethically it stinks, it's two fingers up not only at Linden Lab, but also at those residents who are anxiously waiting to see if their application for a land swap will be approved.

The sim has since been taken off the market and the owners are now erecting a castle but this sort of thing only adds to the discontent over this policy and the way it is being implemented. Linden Lab can't envisage every scenario but concerns about exactly this sort of thing happening have been raised with Linden Lab over the past three months. Whilst the queue is frozen it's time for Linden Lab to prevent resale for a period of say a month, then we don't have all these accusations about people gaming the system being thrown around so easily.

Role Magazine - July 2009


Role Magazine - July 2009

ROLE Magazine is pleased to announce the publication of our July, 2009 issue. July was a hectic month for the ROLE Magazine staff as we were chosen as an exhibitor for the SL6B Celebration which required a build to suit the futuristic theme. We celebrated the 6th birthday of Second Life in style with a live performance by the talented Winston Ackland and a photo contest for SL6b revelers.

We welcome new staff contributor Salvatore Otoro and anticipate his upcoming articles on role playing sims including his first in our magazine on the City of Lost Angels.

Our controversial on-going discussion of what makes art “art” continues with thoughts from Kee Llewellyn. Aldwyn Zanzibar unravels the mysteries behind three in-world pose tools and weighs in with his thoughts of the merits of each. Keeley Huet hops about the grid in search of the dearest prefab houses for our consideration. Paypabak Writer bowls us over with her in-depth look at the sixteen sim fantasy world of the Great Alliance.

As always, our fashion spreads are lush, exceptional and artfully inspired. We think you’ll agree that stylists Keeley Huet, Felicity Blumenthal and fashion photographer Zoe Demar have outdone themselves once again. Ana Lutetia gently nudges the guys towards the finer things in Masculino, male fashion and Cayce Newell and Tomoyo Breitman bring us Hot Finds and a Mix & Match feature that continues to delight and inspire those itching for a weekend shopping spree.

See an article that might interest your friends or group members? ROLE Magazine blog posts can now be easily shared by linking directly to your Plurk or Twitter page.

ROLE Magazine continues our commitment to our advertisers by providing verifiable readership statistics on our website.

As always, the team at ROLE Magazine thanks you for your continued support and encouragement!

Mixed Realities

Happy 4th of July!

As a Belgian, should I be in a festive mood because of the 4th of July? There are some good reasons for celebrating: for instance, the US Declaration of Independence can be considered as containing some very important human rights principles. The Wikipedia entry for the Declaration rightly underlines this sentence, one of the best known of the English language:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

People do not sympathize with other countries on the basis of important historical texts alone. Of course, there is much more than solemn declarations. There is an intensely shared history, such as the liberation from the nazi-regime.

What makes me celebrate today however is not only the sense of sharing fundamental principles and a struggle against tyranny. It is the fact that I meet on a daily basis friends from the US in Second Life and on other social media (not to mention encounters in the “physical world”), which makes me feel much more connected to what happens on the other side of the ocean.

In the end, it is this opportunity of working together on a daily basis which makes one fully realize that we all are created equal, that we all have unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Revisiting a client's sim, Splintered Rock, a desert RP sim based on Frank Herbert's Dune saga. They were rocked by Herbert's lawyer henchmen a few months ago and were forced to scrub all the content of recognizable names. Another IP stupidity that alienates the fans rather then helps expanding the fan base. Drop by and visit this place. Gorgeous build, and very realistic roleplay.

Probably the laggiest place on SL, but it's popular and posh, so I come back and back again, it's a great place to listen to ballroom and romance musics, without it being Martini in the Morning, but MiM's still good, but you need a break from time to time. :)

Normally I save the nudies for last, but today let’s do things in reverse! Check out these new Laqroki April skins, just one of the many beautiful faces from the Glow line of skins. This skin is perfect for red heads, because it includes natural looking red brows and a light dusting of freckles. However, the skin will work for Brunettes too since a version of Brown brows is included for each makeup.  I’ve also tried it with Blonde hair, and you can totally get away with wearing Blonde hair too! <3

Here are all 10 of the makeups in Fair skin tone:

Yep, this gorgeous fatpack will only cost you $1990L. The price is incredible, I can’t imagine anybody would buy just one when they can have all 10 for a low price.

[MUSIC] Fresh homegrown piano

Welcome back to your childhood home. It's a dilapidated, disgraceful ruin of a shanty, but oh, you can remember when it housed your whole family. Kept you warm as you beamed at the stars, always a lively conversation at the dinner table…

The white picket fences have been strewn apart, cascaded across what once was a lawn, the individual spikes now resting as yellow-grey in the low sun. You brush the creaky door wide, step inside, and instinctively pull the switch — but of course, the lights fail to illuminate.

So you come deeper. And there it is, unmoved after all these years of what they call growing up. Your worn, used upright piano. And you can close your eyes for a moment and tune out the street traffic, be brought back to your youth, when you first took lessons, those very beginning melodies that streamed from your fingertips. They were naive, and in that freshness was an honesty you'll never recapture. At least you don't believe you will. But if you have enough faith, anything's possible.

Just about. Then you begin to play.

It's not too late to make my dreams happen, you think to yourself, smiling at the chipped ivories.

PR Contact: Annette Wilder, Wilder Public Relations Firm Inc. for Bliss Couture

Re: Miss Bliss Couture 2010

The search for Miss Bliss Couture 2010 has begun! Entries will be accepted until July 30th so all interested models should quickly apply. We are calling every beautiful model and every classy woman who adores Bliss Couture clothing. Many women would love to be the “Face” of Bliss Couture and wear the title of Miss Bliss Couture 2010, are you one of them? Only ONE will be chosen as Miss Bliss Couture 2010 and that lucky lady will appear in most vendor ads for new clothing and will exclusively be the model in all print advertising for magazines and other media. Miss Bliss Couture will be given priority for all modeling jobs available, only being replaced in the event of her being unavailable. Miss Bliss Couture will be awarded a specially designed diamond jewelry set from Alyssa Bijoux. She will also be given all future Bliss Couture releases throughout her one year reign, $10,000L Cash Prize, and of course the title of Miss Bliss 2010. The winner will also receive an invitation to the prestigious Boulevard Agency and an interview for BOSL Magazine. With prizes like these who would not want to be part of a contest of this magnitude?

Miss Bliss Couture 2010 is a multi level competition based on photos, live modeling and objective judging. There will be no voting from friends the competitors will only be judged by the distinguished panel of judges chosen for the event. The rules to the contest are as followed:

Step 1 – Join “THE BEST OF SL Magazine Readers” Group. All notices and results will be announced in this group only. All contestants also, have to join the Bliss Couture In-world Group to be part of this contest.

Step 2 – Models will submit photos of themselves wearing a dress or outfit from Bliss Couture. One full body and one headshot 512 X 512 (FULL PERM) each.

Step 4 – The pool will be narrowed down to 20 models from the live audition. Since the winner of the competition will be working closely with designer Amutey DeCuir, it is important that the girl herself show signs of reliability and be personable. An interview will be scheduled for each girl to gauge for compatibility between model and designer.

Step 5 – The pool of 20 will be narrowed down to 10. The 10 finalists will all have a photoshoot wearing the same dress provided to them by Bliss Couture. These photos by a professional photographer will be judged by a panel and will determine the top 5.

Step 6 – The top 5 will all be [...]

Ravishal Ramblings

Shadows - midnight - no lite


Shadows, a first look for me

Having recently acquired a new video card I decided to check out the unsupported shadows feature that’s appeared in the latest releases of the SL Viewer. The results weren’t too bad. The resulting frame rate for me was 8 FPS, somewhat usable for general SL use. The below video is the results I got.

youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Hd6rX8SnI

You’ll notice that alpha textured items tend to flicker in and out and that the avatar shadow tends to degrade into point shadows.  Below are a few screen captures. The built in picture utility doesn’t work and fails to capture the shadows. A Print Screen or external utility will capture them though.

Shadows in SL

Under Crap's Tree - Shadows

In the above pic notice how dark it is at noon below Crap’s Clock Tree. Also notice how the eyes tend to glow/shine a bit too.

Shadows in Nowhereville

The Palm trees cast a shadow over the plane in the late afternoon. The shadows look weird at high noon as the prims used for the palm leaves  are vertically oriented and cast almost no shadow when the sun is overhead.

Shadows - midnight - no lite

Midnight is really dark now, even with the moonshine. GoSpeed’s fedora shades her face making it hard to distinguish her features.

I can imagine that many improvements and tweaks will occur before the shadow features are officially incorporated into the SL viewer.

Glam and Grace


Hello Everybody,

I’m thinking most of you will be away from the city this weekend, probably at home preparing the fireworks or making sure your barbeques are in pristine condition… Yup, it’s time to celebrate one of the most important days for you guys up North in America. I can remember the days when I lived there, the 4th of July celebrations were always amazing, full of happiness and joy, something I will never forget. (Did I mention 20days after the 4th, it will be my RL birthday? ;) lalala)

I wish you all a Happy 4th of July! And I hope you all celebrate it with your friends and family, and I hope it is a day filled with the joy and happiness!

I have been working on a photo to share with you all, but you will have to wait till tomorrow when Jordy makes her post.(pssst Jordy, could you please post the picture for me? :3 )

I hope you all remember what the release was for this week, if not I’ll just say this… “Glam and Grace” is an adorable female pose, and the pose was made for two ladies to share the moment together. I took this a little further, and I grabbed Spad and instead of sharing it was a lady friend, I shared it with him! I know it sounds rather strange, but the shot I took for the photo was just perfect.. Just take a look for yourself:

Glam and Grace

So, as you can see … you can always use it with with a male friend ;)

Don’t forget that Striking Poses is part of the “Cinderella’s lost slipper” find the slipper and collect an awesome prize!

Okay! That is all for today, enjoy your weekend and have fun !

Thoughts on Four Decades of Being Rik

rik at easter parade 09Today marks my 40th year on this planet.

I wish I had some grand epiphany to share at this point in my life.  But being a Quaker, I know that revelations don’t necessarily work on a schedule.

People have been asking me what it feels like to turn 40.

On the one hand, not much has changed. I feel as young, energetic and creative as I ever have.  I can do things with my body now that I couldn’t do at 25.  I am just as frenetic and busy as I have ever been.  And I am still making big life changes while others my age are starting to “settle down.”

On the other hand,  I feel like I am just starting to feel comfortable in my own skin, to feel integrated within own multi-layered identity.  I feel more at ease being the Filipino-American / Quaker / lindy hopper  / b-boy / geek / activist / virtual world explorer / blogger / Brooklynite. For once, I feel like I can be all those things, all the time, and have that make sense.

In the past, I have felt like I have had to draw hard lines between my different identities, to try to keep apart my different lives. I couldn’t let my work colleagues know that I was a swing dancer.  I couldn’t talk about Quakerism to my family.  I found the role-switching often confusing and exhausting.

Now I am just too old to work that hard to keep those roles in their little boxes.  I’m just... me.

I’ve had a crazy journey to get to this day -- from the slums of Juarez, Mexico to the stage at the Apollo Theater to a fossil dig in virtual Tanzania.  There has been very little that was conventional, or even logical, about the paths that I’ve taken. But somehow, everything has worked out alright.

Here’s what is on my mind, right now.

Right now, I am organizing a virtual summer camp for 20 New York and Chicago teens in Second Life.  

Right now, I am working on my breaking swipes and fast lindy skills.

Right now, I am preparing for a camping trip in August with my cousins in Northern California.

Right now, I am dreaming of buying my own place in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Right now, I feel so fortunate to get to live this life. And I can’t wait to see what comes next.

[TIP] VLC media player can turn movies into color ASCII

VideoLAN Client (VLC) media player has a nifty feature built in: it can play movies (and still pictures!) as color ASCII. This means visuals appear reminiscent of old BBS and terminal art. Since it's automated, it's not the most precise conversion, but I put some concert footage through it and was all grins. Here's how you do it, at least on the Mac side (since VLC is multi-platform):

  1. Go to VLC menu > Preferences.
  2. Click Video tab.
  3. Change Output module to Color ASCII art video output.

BEFORE

AFTER

Play a movie and get out the bitcrushed popcorn. To screengrab a still shot like this with Skitch, I had to drag it into the VLC playlist, play it for a sec, then quickly pause it.

A brief google shows me not many know about this, so spread the lofi word! Previously related is my "8 Inspiring Stories of ASCII Art" for Smashing Magazine.

Each one of us is a planet

Some of us are attracted to each other. We can then become a solar system unto our own, but don't ask me who's the sun.

Some of us aren't yet ready to make first contact — because that civilization yonder there, as promising as it may seem, is still riddled with civil war. They need to sort out their problems first. And send some explorers over to meet you. Maybe then, an intergalactic treaty can be formed.

Some planets are fertile and ripe with resources!

Others have been strip-mined, said F-U you to the environment, or… are barren.

And when we can take the consciousness & soul of a person and put it in another body, well, that'll be like extraterrestrial colonization.

Filed under: , , , ,

While most actions people take in the flesh are ephemeral - performed fleetingly, and unmarked - MMOGs and virtual environments keep that data as a rule, usually most or all of it.

Three social researchers from the University of Michigan obtained data from Linden Lab about the possession and acquisition of 'gestures' (preprogrammed sequences of text, avatar animations and/or audio) and data about account creation dates and friends-lists, and studied how gestures passed from user to user.

July 4, 1776

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

… The Drama Queen Outfit also includes a large, colorful, dare-i-say-Dramatic skirt, but I couldn’t resist showing you the Vanity instead. This vanity is an attachment you wear, so it is usable even in places that will not allow you to rez objects. (As Chic already said, make sure you are wearing pants before you wear the vanity.)

I could also have shown the Banilacoco Skin which is wearing one of those pink cosmetic masques, but I thought the mascara and tears added so much more emo!

Outfit: Mix and Match “Drama Queen” Outfit (also includes a crown and a skirt)
Vanity: GiftHorse “Makeup Vanity AFK”

Also wearing (not from the hunt):
Hair: Dernier Cri “Michelle” (hair fair)
Skin: Tuli “Meredith Tan” Post Party Skin (gift)
Eyes: Poetic Color “Night Rain”
Tears: Cutie Honey “Tears” (optional sad emotion, regular, black and bloody tears)

Thank you thank you thank you all you designers! You were so generous!

A quick note to tell you of a few specials at the Silk & Satyr Mainstore…to celebrate Independence Day, we have a special silk at the introductory price of $L200 – a remake of Wish Upon Cygnus (our most popular silk ever!) in white and gold.

We’ve also introduced a new line of freebie silks called Lock & Key.  The blue one is $L1 at the Mainstore, the violet is in the lucky chair, and the teal is a group gift (still in the subscribo for new members).

Both of these can be found on our specials wall on the first floor, near the tp board.  Here’s your chariot!
