Sex Change?

lol nevah! But i did rise to the challenge of Dagmar Haiku's ' switch your gender for 0 lindens'. Flickr stream So here we go fashion lovers!
Presenting Uncle Prim! or um Mr. Couturier? dunno lol


He's a bit The Rock like maybe?

Skin: free if you answer the survey 'how did you find this shop' from Sacred Skins
Body: by me from the basic body supplied by sl
Clogs: B&B Proud, free on the marketplace
Boxing Gloves: Mindshift Animations
Tattoo: Miss Jewel 
AO: Ax-002 Basically Boy AO (oracle) free on the marketplace
Clothing : Free Grey Pattern Underwear Set by Izzys Studio
Eyes: Mojo group gift
Sitting animations: Niamhinations!  MM Board Special-8-27 Male sit 27 and 28

My thoughts? I love the skin. The lips are awesome, the bloody nose ( i thought it was a scar lol) and the bandaid v. cool. I used the eye pop option on the body shape to make the left eye a bit closed looking too :).
The AO is a bit..er...animated lol. He skips he jumps he squats he swirls his arm in the air. I'd be editing this majorly if i had to really use it.Niam's animations though are great and they are always on the mm board.
The clogs are just ok, but i ran out of time to find anything better. I love the underwear set, comes with an undershirt as well.
All in all as a newb , Uncle might get away with propositioning someone don't you think? lol
hugs
Mai

OH ps: Now open in Inworldz. And i'll be doing a new blog post shortly for some new sets.

Miss Marple and the Case of The Sore Hand

I've finally gotten a shop at Inworldz at the Builder's Mecca Sim. I'm across from my friend Khan Omizu's [K.O.] Textures and next to Matika's. Still working on it so there are just a few textures there at the moment.
I've run into a glitch - the top of my right hand starts to ached after an hour or so of using the computer. I may have to learn to use the pen tablet as a mouse after all i guess. Probably i should take a couple of days off  but i doubt i do that :)
I have finally gotten around to making proper sets from one of my favourite textures of late - and named them Miss Marple. Here are the boxes and samples :







Of course this blog also uses one of the brown patterns as the background ( as of this writing anyhow, i'm a big changer upper though i'm afraid. I once had a partner threaten to nail the furniture to the floor lol)
In any case these are for sale in Second Life and Inworldz.
I have to say the folks at IW are really welcoming and friendly. I found it easy enough to transfer over some lindens and most things work just the same. You'll find me there as 'Aunty Prim' although most likely i'll eventually make an account as Mai too.
Off to plurk and work a bit before the hand is too annoying!

dwarven av and new sets

The other day i was talking to Fnordian Link, he the amazing scriptor ect ect. He was telling me about Dungeons and Dragons Online. So i registered ( free for a basic account). I picked being a cleric and a dwarven woman. I think because it was  so opposite to the pretty sl Mai lol. Anyhow its a fun game. And it inspired me to get on with making some avatars for sl. I've had a few ideas on the backburner for a while. I'm still working on it but here's a reveal of the work in progress. This avatar will include skin eyes hair and an outfit when i'm done.
She's pretty short and nicely muscled. Her outfit is made using my "Maile Copper' which i keep thinking should be called "Maile Gold' but too late for that i guess. Her hair is green and from a set i've worked with from a full perm edition i bought. Tentatively called Amira ( the hair, the av i haven't named as yet ) Feedback anyone?



I've also added the other three colours for the Delicata Walls set


 One more brand new set as well:


That's the news of the day. Oh, except to say join plurk! Once i figured it out its been a hoot

Sequins guts and Newness

I really need to blog more consistantly! I say all the time that i need more routine and then i avoid it lol.

I find it really interesting to check which of my products is selling the most on the second life marketplace. This past week it's been the Sequinning texture set which to me is more winterish?



And also the Sculpted Guts set. Is there something about spring that brings out guts lovers? :P

I did do a new set or two this week including ' Delicata Walls' in blue. Adding it in other colours today.



I'm inspired to do some more flowery art type textures today. So you know, that means most likely the new textures i get will be all grunged out and dark lol.

Time to work! Got to burn off that Key Lime pie
