I was going to blog one of 2 shoots that Raven and I already had in the can, but neither was suitable, so I scrapped that idea, and thought I would just type what came on its own. You may have either heard my bitching on Plurk or read some of it here, on my [...]
Friday Focus: Saying Goodbye to Crimson Shadow.
July 17, 2009
Lokum Shilova:”Ready to delete “ I saw this plurk yesterday morning, and my plans of blogging half the store I bought out the night before vanished. I want to focus today on the closing of another great Rezzable sim, Crimson Shadow. I knew it was coming, but the actual delete and removal ticket were an [...]

Friday Focus: Tank to Boots, How a Fashion Blog Happens.
June 19, 2009
Or “I need an accessories intervention” and the process of outfit development. This look started with an innocent plurk about Callie Cline’s new tank tops. Believe it or not, I had never been to Callie’s store. Yes, I admit it. I manage to log on, and stand for a long rez. (My end, not Callie’s [...]
Friday Focus: Go Ahead. Make my Day.
May 29, 2009
Words are incredible things. Just the sight of them can cause intense emotional response, positive and negative. You know what I call using forums and blog comments to deliver nasty hateful ‘observations’ or ‘criticism?’ I call it ‘Sniping” because that is what it is. Taking shots at someone from under cover of anonymity, for what [...]
Friday Focus: Silks and Pseudo-Slavery (Yes, Gor)
May 22, 2009
I wrote my last post after getting that gorgeous ‘Flourish’ camisk/top from Delora Starbrook of Haven Designs.  Shortly afterwards, Shelly Toonie plurked up a link to Talyn Barrett’s blog (Of Analise) and I liked what I saw there as well. This segue into camisks, silks and other role playing clothing gave me an opportunity to [...]
Friday Focus Quick and Deadly: Tattoos and Textures.
May 22, 2009
Happy Friday!  Quick rundown on a few items in this outfit. I belong to the LeLook update group, and had tp’d in after a notice another place, and randomly wandered over a few stores to stand and Rez. Believe me, with my horrid internet, in LeLook, it takes a while.  When the wall vendors cleared [...]
SCD Prom: Deja Vu in the Matrix
May 15, 2009
Greets. This is Raven Haalan, pinch-hitting for Isle Lunasea due to RL traffic congestion. Fair warning. There’s something about revisiting my old High School that makes me feel inadequate all over again. I do make the trip now and then to take in my kids’ school play. There’s the locker bay I first necked in, [...]
Friday Focus: Fashion Bloggers, Appreciation, and Questions.
May 15, 2009
This has been “Blogger Appreciation Week”, so dubbed by the wonderful and talented caLLie cLine. A ‘fashion bloggers’ group was also created in world, and has resulted in an entire week of many many excellent and cool gifts and gift cards being dropped on all the blogger members, in appreciation for all the work they [...]
Friday Focus: Funky Textures, and Guess that Store.
May 8, 2009
Squint your eyes so you don’t see the credits, and try and guess what store these outfits came from. Bet you wouldn’t, unless you are a regular there. I have 6 outfits from this place, and would have more if I didn’t exercise control. The majority of outfits there come in multi layers, and I [...]
Friday Focus: Monkey Business and the Joy of Nekkid.
May 1, 2009
This post is dedicated to Vivianne Draper, my partner in crime here at SCD, ’cause I have been promising her Monkey Jammies for weeks, and I figure it might help her get over bein sookyfaced at missing the Man Clicker photoshoot the other day. (Sorry Viv, I suck as a human being and beg forgiveness… [...]

Friday Focus: Short Hair (aka The Hairy Grail)
April 3, 2009
Hair. Wonderful Hair. So much of my time in Second Life has been spent in pursuit of the perfect hair. I am a hair addict, and my inventory reflects that. I have been through many hair phases, from the stiff lovely ponytails that speared through my stomach when I danced, to ankle length tresses that [...]

Friday Focus: The Art of the Teaser.
March 27, 2009
The idea for Friday Focus came to me when I was deciding on an outfit for my first SCD fashion post. I realized how may outfits I had by this designer, and how unique and interesting they were as well as the inspiration behind them. The designer of the following outfits certainly merits a closer [...]
Friday Focus: Intro Post.
March 27, 2009
Hello. I’m Isle. (pronounced as in ‘I’ll’ or ‘aisle’, short for Islander, which I am.) I’ve been online since the mid 90′s, always been Islander, and my friends long ago shortened it to Isle. (I get called ‘Is-la’ or ‘Is-lee’ a lot inworld, *sigh*) I’m a tech by trade, and have been active on tech [...]
