Found on the street: TOSL "Punk Princess"

I got a notecard from one of the various groups I am in, and it was actually one designer advertising for another, new, designer. Well, I ended up in the store called TOSL, or Tree & Ocean SL. The owner is Quinlan Quimby, and she has some really great stuff in her store!

I noticed this sweet little dress right in the entrance called "Punk Princess". I just knew I had to have it, so I chose the Peacock color. There's also matching sculpted shoes, so I snatched those as well, in the same color. You can find 3 other colors available, of dress and shoes.

The dress comes with several sculpted pieces that fit amazingly well, and have a very sweet texture. You get the belt in 3 different sizes, and the skirt has a regular and a sit script version. There's also a bodice and chest ruffle. The clothing layers of top and undies come in shirt/undershirt and pants/underpants layers.

I hope you'll stop on in to TOSL and see what other goodies you can find! Happy shopping!

I thought I'd share with you all my then and now, inspired by Sophia Harlow.

Wow, first of all, my apologies for such a small photo! And the graphics...OMG what a difference in 3 years! I was obviously going for the super hoochie mama look. I think that was in my time of escorting (come on, who hasn't tried something like it in SL?!), so I was all about the boobs and such! I have no idea where the clothing and boots are from, but I do know the hair is Calla Delphinium Black, and the skin is +LD+ chai - bubblegum. Wow! LOL

Now a days, I obviously have much better graphics. (And style!) And with the introduction of windlight, and my ability to take nice pictures, this photos is much more pleasing. I am showing off some of the current fundraising items available to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake. There's a skybox in the Scribble sim where all designers are donating 100% profit of the items there. I hope you enjoy my now picture, and please go to that skybox and check out the fabulous items that you can own, and know you helped even in just a tiny bit.

My computer was dead!

Thank goodness I am back up and running! On Tuesday, before work, I had checked my email and peeked at the fashion feeds for a few. When I got home, Tuesday evening, my computer was off. Knowing that I'd left it on, the first thing I did was check the clock on the microwave (my computer is near the kitchen) to see if there'd been some sort of power outage. Nope...the clock was still on and showing the correct time. I tried to turn on the computer, but to no avail. I checked all plugs, checked the power strip, etc. I couldn't figure out what in the world was wrong. The monitor, the internet modem, and the wireless router all had power! The mouse and keyboard, however, did not. I had a suspicion it might be the power supply, but you can never be sure unless you have all the diagnostic equipment available at your fingertips! I took it to the local computer superstore, but they wanted $69.99USD just to find out what was wrong with it! No way was I gonna pay that!

I posted a plea for help on Facebook, and luckily one of my friends replied telling me to call her fiancee, that he could help. I took it over to their house, but he found that the power supply was in fact good. The next concern was the motherboard. I allowed him to keep the computer so he could take it to work and fully check it out. Guess what he found wrong with it?! The graphics card!! For some reason the fan had stopped working on the graphics card, and it caused an early demise for the graphics card. Very interesting that a dead graphics card could cause my computer to completely shut down! So, I got a new card...a slightly better one at that, and he fixed it for me for $20!! What a nice guy! Now where can I find one of those...
