Support SL Content Creators III
Well I did the thing I know best, I shopped! I went and bought from 4 of the wonderful content creators in SL. In the two left images I am wearing the tag from the PROTEST AGAINST CONTENT THEFT Group.
I am wearing the *PERSONA* Itaparica pants in dark gray and the top [including the lace insert] in bluish gray made by Myllie Writer. The detail is nicely done and I like the way the top tucks into the pants. My boots are the new Eva Suede Boots in fawn from SLink , made by Siddean Munro. I visited the Kraftika Jewelry shop for the first time having seen some of Anuitka Barthelmess' work in a blog. Didn't buy the blogged item, but fell in love with No. 109 with its fan shaped pendant with a subtle gold heart and wonderful asymmetry in the placement of the beads on the neck chain.
But the BIG purchase was my first Abyss skin. I had been eyeing them for a while, but so many choices and even more lindens ... but with the attention paid to skin texture theft yesterday I wanted to put my pixels where my avi was so to speak LOL I am wearing the Abyss Jadzia Illicit 2 B skin and loving it. The surface of the skin is flawless, the B level of lip glossiness suits me fine and the eye makeup is among the best in SL. A lot of lindens for sure, but worth it even without the desire to support SL content creators.
Otherwise I am wearing Maaliyah by ETD in auburn burnt, Beauty Raine's brown rainbow fantasy eyes and Celestial Studios' Classic 6 eyelashes.

Also a reminder that Another Fundraiser ends tonight. Get those skins and support the creative content providers of SL!

Stop Content Thieves II
Others are following the ins and outs better than I can, although I was among those who were orbited and banned at Marwood. I have to say this is my first major protest activity since the Vietnam War [okay I'm dating myself!] and it felt good to be able to do something about an important SL issue. Maybe it's not world hunger or genocide, but the rights of creators to protect their work is one the the pillars of civilization. Just read the English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, about what happens in the "state of nature" -- or as my students -- they'll be writing on it on their midterm.
What can you do? Well join the demonstrations, wear the Layniewear skin, but also vote on this JIRA: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-676. It's important -- please do it!
Oh and also go buy skins from the legitimate creators. I bit the bullet and bought one from Abyss last evening.

Support Second Life Content Creators
The sad story of content creators' work being stolen in SL continues, thus this post. Today Emilia Redgrave left SL because her skins were ripped off by Bonnie Arado.
The SL fashion community, through the much appreciated intermediary of a concierge level resident, was able to get the work deleted, at least at the Donahoe location. The Bonnie Arado account also seems to have also been deleted. Below is a picture of the demonstration during and after the deletion of the store. Let's be grateful that the Lindens responded in this case at least.
Many people can report better than I so here are a few links that, in turn link to other reports:

http://ornamentallife.blogspot.com/2008/02/thieves.html
What can you do? First don't buy from thieves. Second file an abuse report for every creator who has been ripped off. Include pictures as as much evidence as you can. Don't use the word "copyright" in the header though, as the only route the Lindens recognize for that is the the DCMA process. But enough ARs and notice will be taken as we have seen.

Two Faces of Sam
Well at least it isn't three and my name isn't Eve.
The picture on the left was taken after a good friend's Rezday Party -- with a super live band yet!! I came home and, before I kicked off my shoes, I took this photo. The outfit is a mix 'n' match combining several elements. I started with the top from Last Call's Casey, because it went with the Nereid jewelry set by Tekeli-li . The set is color-change, but I love the seagreen/blues it comes in. The skirt is a very useful one from Ibizarre called "Mix it up." I colored the G.L.A.M. freebie metallic Lycra tights [light] and finished the outfit off with the Shiny Things T-straps revamped from the balcony discount section. Hair is AJ from ETD in cinnamon, skin is Celestial Studios Jade-Mid in champagne.
Once I got started taking pictures I wanted to see how Last Call's Aphrodite would look against this shot I took of a medieval courtyard in Arles, France. Hair is AJ from ETD in strawberry. The skin is one from Another Fundraiser -- [Fayray] Lf0 - Dark Angel (Another Fundraiser) by Shani Fayray. Then this avi left to make dinner in RL.

Never too much of a good thing ;)
I normally don't blog every day, let alone twice a day, but with a snow day called at my college, and the opening of Simone's new sim, Style Starts Here, well why not?
Here I'm wearing 3 of the wonderfully detailed lingerie items that are the heart of SSH. From left to right: the Blue Floral Body Thong [L$ 150], the Green and White Lace Bra & Panties Set [only L$ 75 !!] and the Black Lacy Bra and Panty Set[L$ 100] . My picture doesn't show the wonderful cutouts on the Blue Floral Body Thong at all!
Hair is AJ from ETD -- from left to right: smoke, cinnamon & strawberry. Skin is Celestial Studios Fall-3 in champagne.

Ssshhhhh ... it's SSH
Simone Stern has been tantalizing her group members with whiffs of things to come. And yesterday we were allowed in to see what SSH stands for. And it is ... Style Starts Here. It's a wonderful build full of quality casual Simone designs for both men and women. Especially of note is the lingerie for the ladies AND most of the items are priced at L$ 100 or lower. There is also plenty for the guy in your SL at the same prices. Here's the slurl: Style Starts Here
My first two purchases were the SSH White Crossover Knot Top and the SSH - Inked Jeans [the pattern is a tribal one...], both of which were L$ 100 each. I've taken the pictures in front of one of my photos of the parkland at Chateau Chenonceau in France.
Hair is ETD AJ in Strawberry, the choker is a freebie from Canimal and the shoes are the Elana Sandals (silver - taupe) from Shoes Simply Shoes on sale for half price. The skin is Celestial Studios Fall-3 in champagne
Thank you Simone!
