Smart skirt

Don't you just hate it when this happens:


All your modesty exposed and very unbecoming for a fashionista :P

Well, help is at hand :) You too can look like this:


A scripting buddy recently gave me an attachment set script written by Carrice Wind. This is open source so all are free to use it. I've put a copy on OnRez for free. Just search for Attachment Set OSS. It's the first time I've 'sold' anything using OnRez so any problems then please let me know.

The script works by adjusting a prim attachment in response to an avatar animation.

While wearing the skirt, right click and select “Edit”, then go to the “Contents” tab. Drag the script marked AttachmentSet OSS from your inventory to the Contents page on the edit window. Detach the skirt and then 'wear' again. The script won't work unless you do this.

Type “/66 suspend” in chat (without the quotes). The skirt will say “[name of item] animations stopped.”

Find a seat without poses or poseballs attached and, with your AO on, take a seat. If you haven't got a seat without poses then just rez a box.

Right click the skirt, select Edit from the pie chart, then hold the Ctrl key. You will see three circles. Click and move the cursor along the green circle to rotate the skirt. Or, you can try these settings and then make minor adjustments afterwards.
Rotation (degrees)
X: 0
Y: 28
Z: 0
You will need to reposition the skirt after this. Y will be at 0, Z will be around 118 and 165 depending on the length of the skirt (longer skirt = higher number). X you'll have to fiddle around with until the skirt looks right.

Finally, if you wish to resize the skirt hold the Ctrl and shift keys down together. You will see little white boxes. Drag one of those boxes inward or outward until the skirt is the size you like. You will need to reposition the skirt again after this.

Type “/66 set sit”. The skirt will say “Sitting position and rotation edited and reset.”

If you stand up now then the skirt will be in some crazy position. Type “/66 resume”. The skirt will say “[name of item] animations restarted.” Now, walk forward...hehe it's magic! Sit down and more magic!

You can repeat the above steps using "stand" instead of "sit", as well as "ground sit", "walk" and "run". Have fun and look good :P

Flower baby

I was inspired by Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver when putting together this look. It also gave me an excellent opportunity to show off one of my favourite items of clothing at the moment, the gorgeous jacket by sato Yifu of KUROTSUBAKI. I'm in love with her hippie jeans too! The textures are just so scumptiously rich, you can feel them! As for her designs, they are as sweet as chocolate biccies!

Flower baby

I am wearing:

Hair: ETD Jessica II - Auburn (freebie) - hat modified
Skin: TaP Vivant - Blush Rose 1
Jacket : KUROTSUBAKI used flower cardigan - Red

Home Sweet Home

Up unitl recently I've been renting a tiny house from my lovely friend Anita Milestone. I'd been looking for land on which to put my own build but my linden bank balance isn't up to the task what with all the clothes shopping that I do...lol! At last, however, I've found a reasonable priced house near the sea...yay!I've now entered the mad world of SL interior design...trying to find decent furniture at a low prim price! It's been an almost impossible task!


My kitchen/diner:
Kitchen: LPHS 14 Prim Walnut Kitchen with appliances
Dining table: Maximum Minimum Work Table
Dining chairs: SOLAdesign Free Chair
Lights: avenue four designs retro groove collection hanging light
Painting: Made by me using a Torley Linden texture

LPHS is great for low prims but I found the designs a little crude whereas Maximum Minimum was the reverse. The designs at Maximum Minimum are actual copies of design classics...a couple I have in RL and the others I just dream I had! Avenue Four Designs is the place to go for lighting and not too primy.
