Mask Mode Tutorial for Belleza Users

Hi MAddicts!

First things first – this week I’m doing one of Strawberry Singh’s famous Memes! The topic this week is ‘Ask me anything’, so I’ve set up a little page for you guys to, well, ask me anything! I’ll choose some questions to answer in my next blog post, so go ahead and submit your questions HERE 🙂 They can be Mesh Body or Mesh Head related of course, but also any questions you have about blogging or me in general are welcome! ❤

Okay so today I’m revisiting a topic especially for the Belleza crowd (and those with other bodies who may not be familiar with it) – Mask Mode!

Please note – this tutorial is brought to you by MS Paint. MS Paint – the creative side of work laptops 😛

Now, I recently posted a tutorial about Mask Mode, but it’s become quite a hot topic once again because for the first time, Belleza users now have access to this function for their bodies, and it’s causing a few headaches 🙂 So let’s get into it!

Clickity click below for the tutorial!

Weekly Fitmesh Finds

I know I’m a little early with the fitmesh finds this week, but there has just been TOO MUCH going on to not do an early Fitmesh Finds post!

First of all to clarify – Yes, the Belleza mesh body update is coming out this weekend! You can read more HERE, but I will absolutely update the Mesh Body Review for it as soon as I can possibly can 😀

Now for those of you who may be new to reading my blog, first of all, welcome! By way of introduction, the Weekly Fitmesh Finds post is the post I write each week outlining the newest Mesh Body Fitmesh clothing (that is, specialty mesh clothing that is designed for mesh bodies such as Maitreya, Belleza, Slink Physique etc.). In these posts I include everything I can find, including Men’s Mesh Body Fitmesh items (although these are few and far between – but this week I’ve found two!).

In the image above, I’m wearing the newest releases from Blueberry and HUCCI, both of which can be found at Uber in mesh body compatible sizes. I’m in LOVE with this shirt – you can wear it with the bra underneath or on its own, and it just screams country sexy to me, so I had to head over to Image Essentials and wander around their farm area for a while.

Now, let’s find out what I’m wearing, the on to Fitmesh Finds!

Firestorm, camping and my thoughts on Bloggers ♥

As a blogger, I think the general perception of the sl public is ‘they do it to get free stuff.’ I felt like addressing this generalisation today, I don’t know why, it’s random day! Part of being a blogger is indeed recieving ‘review copies’ of items (ie. the ‘free’ stuff everyone speaks of) but the work that bloggers put in to the pictures they create… well, it justifies the ‘free’ part.

So let’s look at that perception. The facts are quite simple – a good blogger can take days to create an image that they’re happy with, in fact the one above took me 3 days of just setting up, planning an outfit and buying (yes, BUYING) the outfit I’m wearing! I like my photos to create a story, to have their own narrative (albeit, that narrative may be only known to me at times haha). The jeans I bought at TMD – and I bought them because I have a very simple rule. I always buy creativity. These jeans are mesh body fitmesh (for Maitreya and Slink), they are unisex and the best part… they come with an applier HUD for the body shadows. Yep, I’m not joking. The artist (being SPIRIT) had the foresight to create torn mesh, knowing how unrealistic ‘torn’ mesh can look at times… and addressed that issue by including system, Slink and Maitreya shadows as tattoos. How awesome is that? How could you not buy that? So simply, I did!

Now let’s talk about the top – this tank is from Miss Chelsea (at FaMESHed) and this I purchased because simply, I was glad to finally see a midriff tank that was a bit on the ‘baggier’ side. That was the first one I’ve seen, so bang – bought it! (In case you’re wondering, I do work in SL to support my shopping… uh… habits) haha. Now this isn’t to say that I don’t try my best to become a blogger for designers who’s work I respect – because in that way, it’s an honour to be part of their team and share their vision. Case and point, Rebel Hope (who’s work I love) is a recent sponsor of my blog. Why? Have you SEEN THESE SHOES?! Quite possibly the most detailed sandals I have ever seen, right down to the jewellery….. This is an un-edited, un photoshopped picture in midday lighting, just to show you how awesome they are on their own…

I could go on and on but the point to my rambling is this – when you read a blog, or comment on a blog… don’t assume that the blogger is a ‘salesperson’ or worse yet, a person who’s just after ‘free stuff’. Yes, they exist, but let’s pay them no mind – quality bloggers do what they do for the love of it, the excitement of the creativity of others, and in my case especially, the want to share knowledge with others. Leaving mean comments, or treating all bloggers badly because of perceptions… well it’s just not nice, and it can hurt (I’m not talking about me, but a friend).

So in summary, if you can’t say anything nice…. well say nothing! 😉 ♥ Okay on to another topic – who’s using the new Firestorm? I am (obviously) and all other issues aside, I have had a blast playing with the new Snapshot filters!! There is seriously a newspaper one, making your image look like it’s from a newspaper. In the image below I’ve photoshopped to give it a story etc, but hey – want to join in? Take a pic using the ‘Newsprint’ filter in the new Firestorm and share the link in the comments so I can see it! Fun!

A special picture today… not only featuring the work of the gorgeous and talented Rebel Hope (this dress is featured at Fameshed) but taken at the memorial section of the Gardens of Absentia.
