My song has ended :-)




Yes, I was trying to keep going with my SIM, even prepared the new Star City, but helas, I have to give up my dreams :-(  At the beginning of this year it will go off line... New Year, New beginnings, but in my case it will be an ending... well, I  also had a sort of Burn Out for making clothes... all the group notices and advertising is very hard to keep up and as you know I'm not good at preasing highly myself or my brand or gaining money out of it :-)... so be it !  I will come to Inworldz from time to time and have fun with making pictures and relax, I'll see how things go... will keep my 2 stores at Bellissima Square and Emsland even if I dont sell a thing, its hard to let go all in one time :-)  hope I will get in better spirit the coming year...

I wish you all a very Happy 2013 !

may all your aspirations, wishes come true and may life have the fulfilment you were hoping for,  in a Virtual World or in Real Life witch is more important :-)

thanks for visiting my blog wich I will remain but not so frequently

Take care 
greets Mira

Witchcraft needed !

Well, I have been busy behind the scene with building on my SIM for quite a while :-)
Finally I took a decision on what to make out of it. I'm like a balance, always doughting about everything lol, should I make a Fairy Forest ? or a Science Fiction Star City ? hm... started on those  and did not finish. Now the RL circumstances have pushed me in the direction of a Shopping City...Yes I do have a Mall on the Sky platform and yes its not full house...
But I have no choice for this adventure... I need some income to support my SIM.
RL is going to have changes and I have no choice, it is this solution or giving up the SIM :-(
I'll give it a try and see how things go...

I realize I have to do something in return for running it, like sales, boardwalks, advertising and if I have the ability and knowledge I will start a Magazine to write about the merchants and their works.
This is what I had in mind, I know it is not so evident to run all this and will see how things turn out. Its a lot of work looking after the rentboxes, no lost objects lying or floating around :-) see if all works like it should, yes don't underestimate the work for running all this ! I have a great admiration for Estate Managers who do this with many SIMS... and... gain a lot of money !
This is not my intend to gain, just to sustain :-)

I used Magic :-)
 Tired but satisfied

 

  shouting : I need some renters

I will have done all before the Holidays and hope to have a full house  by then ! 
 

Sorceress costume

I had posted on te last day of October ( Halloween) on the usual channnels, this Sorceress Costume, better late than never I should say...
Well afterall it is also suitable for roleplay, to be good or bad, its up to you, but mind the Pentagram's point is directed upwards so actually its ment to be 'GOOD MAGIC' to be done :-)
It really works, see next post :-))

A visit at the Fright Fest

The Frigth Fest at the Events SIMS are worth a visit :-)
each time I go, there are no visitors...  in my timeline there are only 80 to 90 online.
Maybe at rush hour and US time it will get more people :-)

A look inside my shop

Amazing builds and sculpts !

Halloween coming up !

Halloween is coming up soon ! 
The  Grid is all prepared for the Spooky scenery :-)
Inworldz Sponsered Events started the Fright Fest on the 1st of October (yes, yes I'm running behind, I know),There is a lot to see and to explore for the creepy things.
I did my best to make some new stuff, like a beautifull Bat Woman with Sculpted wings. It takes a lot of patience to learn, no good= use the X in Blender and start all over ! Many hours spent...

I made a graveyard also with sculpted prims for FACADE building brand, a part of my enterprise I have neglected lately.
Why are there only 24 hours in a day ? Or why am I so slow ? :-)

All is set up by now... if you like spooky things go visit Ghost City!
look for this board on the grid and touch for TP
 

 the graveyard has been set up ! Had a lot of fun making the pictures and Photoshop them, but thats the easy part :-)

All the while, we welcome our readers to go and visit the galleries / exhibits and offer their opinions in the comments section.  Our goal is to be a humble tour guide and Art Travel Log thru the grid of Inworldz.

Cleaning up

Time to clean out my store and make some bargains :-)
 Dresses I made in the beginning have had their life, some of them where never sold... Time to comtemplate about my designs, are they still in the market ? Are they still wanted ? Well, I do not sell as much anymore like before, maybe because a lot of good designers and creators from other grids came to Inworldz and now adays there is plenty of choices and shops. The New makes place for the Old, its like season changings :-) 
So if you want a dress for less, come to the Star City Mall and grab your choice under the 100 I'z, because a lot of them will not see the light anymore after the sales !

Virtual Reality, how real is it ?

Last night I went to see the Fashion show for the first time :-) shame on me for this but I had to go because the vendors for after the show weren't set up yet...
Oh ! La ! VR how real is it ? I missed the first catwalk for the Autumn dress, hope that went well :) I was seated on a table and enjoyed the dresses the models were showing, then the Alani was the first I got to see, but the model was not wearing the skirt...auw  first thing came into my mind, did I forget to include when I send the box?  So I asked in chat WHERE IS THE SKIRT ?


Lyra was so kind to send me a picture from the model showing the dress With Skirt ... hein ? how ? I didn't see one... I forgot to take a picture of her to prove this on my end. Well next time better :-) then the Drapage dress was showing and that looked fine except 1 missing earring.


 Finally at the end Absinthe was coming down the catwalk...oh my God, the model was wearing the hip skirt from the Drapage dress and the black pants instead of the green ....was this for real? or was I tricked again :-) 


But I heard a comment that  the outfit was so special because of the black pants combined... sjeessshhhh... this blew me up my chair, lol ... some must have seen the same as me... or maybe they were lucky with another viewer ?... who will tell what's real or not !
I leave that in the middle for now...  Well its all in the Pixel or not  :-)))) I had a good glass of Champagne afterwoods !

InStylez Fashion show

I was at a point to give up making dresses...(see my previous post 'no strings no have to' )and then a IM dropped in my box...'I invite you to do a show'...the theme would be 'Fall' ! Hm, hé, oh, well I don't have recent fall items made... short notice only a week...so instead of saying no thanks, I ran to my drawing board and started to make 4 dresses. For me thats not my paste and way to fast to go :-) but I don't want to disappoint people when they say you make nice stuff...hm, and I also have an ego lol
So I got my deadline last week, because the models need to fit and rehears on the catwalk, just like in  real life !

Twist&Torch Art Fest

Summer Holiday periode for the Arts Fest is over  ! It goes that fast :-) The next Art Exhibition will be held in september.

I like the theme and it is a challenge,  "Twisted and Tortured prims"
Well, I never did this with much attention when building, but yesterday I had a beautiful sunday playing and torturing things, I like that, lol !
Do you know that feeling when you are very concentrated, you go almost in a trance...?
I do, also when reading a book or watching an exciting film, that happens to me, the world is standing still and I'm moving into another, not necessarily a virtual world but my own :-)

I said  it would be a BIG composition for the next Art Fest and indeed it IS BIG :-)
luckely we got a 30x30 meters size plot to put up... so we have to go into the sky if we have a lot of ideas.





The pictures show only the first part. I started with 1 idea but it evolved to 3 levels, had no problem finding a name for it :-) yep I have "A Tortured Brain"
