Shopping For Buildings and Yet More Skin!


I was delighted to find 'Four Winds' owned by Koshari Mahana in Iw. I had met Koshari and written a spotlight about her for Virtually London (lite) a while back. Her creations are absolutely wonderful and if anyone wants a beautiful period house or shop she is the best! I bought a little shop for my plot of land and as it was modify and copy I was able to rez two of them and modify one a little. I am putting together a News shop and I have no idea what else yet! but it's great fun.
I also found some nice furniture but I seem to be having trouble with the poses, as I sit on the floor sometimes instead of in the seat and then I find I'm sinking up to my knees in the floor when I stand up, but I expect it's something I'm doing and I think it will all settle down!

I crashed this morning when I typed 'Skin' in Search. As this had happened a couple of days ago when I typed just 'hair', I knew I had to add a word or two once I had re-logged, so I typed 'Female skin' and it was fine. I went off searching again for some skin and got quite a nice one which wasn't a bad price either. Shopping is hard at the moment, as understandably the designers seem to be testing the waters by only bringing a few of their products in, but for being still in Beta it's very good. When I crashed after typing 'Skin' I got a shock when I re-logged, I had reverted back to my newbie av and even my clothes were newbie. It's a good job my inventory is small as I soon found my hair and eyes and other bits. I've put them all in one folder now in case it happens again!

Exciting Times Ahead!

Well I haven't got my avatar the way I want it yet and my walk isn't right and I hate the way my animation makes me pose so vainly when I stand still, but I will find another animation for my walk and I will alter my appearance and enjoy the shopping on the way! I've enjoyed this InWorldz so far! Yes I've only been in InWorldz for a few days, I had wanted to have a look ever since my friend Hibiscus Hastings posted about Victoriana moving onto the new grid on CNN. I did more than look, I got quite excited about this new world today I even rented a piece of land, the exchange rate is so good that I can afford a lot more than I can in SL. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up SL, I love it too much, but I decided I wanted to explore InWorldz too and some of my friends are already here, Hibiscus Hastings, Boye Jervil, Eliza Janus, Johnnytreadlightly Nightfire, Alphonso Pigeon and Headburro Antfarm, and probably lots more that I haven't caught up with yet. Then I suddenly thought that I would dedicate a blog especially to InWorldz as my other blogs are about SL and obviously the two will never mix, so here we go, my new blog for a new virtual world, well it is still in Beta! This is my journey and it is about to begin.........
