Delora’s (out of) the Closet – Week five
By Delora Starbrook, Haven Designs
Tenshi got mad at me for my photo quality the last couple of weeks. Â I hate to say it, but my video card is starting to go, and I get unreliable results from snapshots at times. Â Thankfully, this week, my images turned out slightly better, so here we go.
I spent a whole hour of my time today picking out an outfit to go over the top fantasy without losing any of my personal style. Â That’s what fashionistas do, I’ve been told. Â Oh wait, maybe not. Â Most of them are sheep. Â I’m only a sheep on days that end with “Y.” Â If you have some grasp of the English language, then you understand what I mean. Â If you don’t have any idea what I just meant, go visit the Gossip Girl sims before they’re gone forever! Â I hear they ban love non-english speakers over there!
But I digress.
I felt a little dirty last week, using a pale skin for my article. Â I love Tuli’s skins, but she doesn’t make them in my normal skintone. Â It’s sad, really. Â (Tuli… hint hint. HINT HINT.)
Once again, I digress.
Let’s take a trip to the world of fantasy! Â I got this floaty white gown, some fancy diamond jewelry, and a black skin from Fallen Gods that could double as a not-Everquest-style dark elf, though it’s officially considered to be an ‘elemental’ skin.
I found a nice natural setting by stepping out of my skybox and plummeting the few thousand meters to the ground. Â I was a flying drow/elemental/fantasy creature for… a few moments at least! Â I don’t get out much; in fact, I’d forgotten I had landscaping down there. Â So I took some photos for you! Â I wish I still had time to roleplay, I almost miss wasting my time standing in one place creating drama that isn’t important enough to rate plurking. Â (By the way folks, I’m Delora on plurk if you wanna add me.)
The dress-up part is one of the best parts. Â The worst part is when some idiot comes in with giant mario bros. particle poofers and ruins the fun. Â Don’t get any ideas folks, that’s mean and will get you loved on by me banned.

I did not get MAD, I just said it didn’t look as GOOD as your last post. Pfft. This looks awesome though. <3
Uh huh. Suuuuuure. I had to rag on you a little bit though.
lol. Photos rockin this time, and love the obsidian skin. I have to say I love that whole look – but the contrast with the whites, and then the blue backgrounds… well, it’s just yummy.
The jewelry grabbed me too. Nice post!
Please! The photos here are always top notch.
I only sleep at night by telling myself you have much better filters than me and it’s not talent.
That doesn’t explain my lost hours in Photoshop, but I needs to sleep.
Hey Adric? Whatcha talkin about, filters? You tellin me I don’t have to do all this crap by hand?
The filter thing is still a theory.
I asked a blog once what filter they used and it was like I asked them to go down on me. I even promised to stay out of the fashion world.
I take comfort in meta data that shows me I am not the only Adobe CS3 user : ) Just the only one who can’t get filters down. Xero hates me.
Delora some people use PS Filters to touch up their photos. You don’t need to at all – looks like you use windlight settings in your photos, which is what I prefer. The shots are lovely.
