D’Ior Presents: Meghindo

Last night, D’Ior Modelling Agency presented the new collection from {Meghindo’s}, and Mori and I went over to see it.

For some strange reason, the blog post that I had found about the show had coordinates to some empty spot of air roughly 1200 meters above the offices of D’Ior Modelling Agency. I guess there must have been a skybox at that point in the past.

After a rather hurried way down to the ground (listening to “Free Falling” playing in my head), we found a catwalk… but no one else was there.

After a bit of waiting I simply asked someone from the Agency about the show, and got a teleport offer as a reply… obviously they had relocated the show, and the blog post, which was on a third party site, had not been updated or followed up.

But I digress. I do that a lot, if you guys don’t stop me in time. Don’t let me go off on a tangent like this.

My wife and I had seen some designs from {Meghindo’s} in the past, my wife even has an older dress from there, and I have to admit that older dress had rather spectacularly failed to impress us when it came out of the box… “no-mod” skirt prims are a spawn of the satan, I tell you.

But as soon as the show started, we were simply blown away by the sheer (literally in many cases), awesomeness on the catwalk, and therefore, without any further unnecessary rambling, here’s a bunch of pictures from the show.

Sheer awesomeness.

Stunning silver.

Lady in red (hint: SL 2.0 alpha layers that hide the whole leg, and no shoes and a “hobble” walk).

More red.

Black and red… a classic.

Definitely not the “little black dress”.

The bride and the evil mother-in-law?

More sheer awesomeness.

Now here’s a “little black dress”… that is quite not so ordinary either.

If any of you get the same “itch” in her wallet that I got when I saw these outfits, here’s the address: {Meghindo’s}

A short comment on the technical “issues” at the beginning of the show: The sim held up to 90 avatars without crashing, of course it got laggy like hell… but still, the show was fun!

Here now some pictures in no particular order or preference:

All in all, it was a great show, and we had lots of fun, even with the lag!

Save our OpenSpace

On Monday, October 27, Linden Labs announced a massive increase in the prices for so-called “OpenSpace” sims, which are basically sims with reduced power, which were used by many people to have “their own island” for a lower price.
Read the full announcement here.

This caused major concern and protest among customers (What linden labs calls “residents”, to hide the fact that those people are the ones that pay for the grid), mainly because the increase is seriously hefty (66%), yes, TWO-THIRDS, which will cause lots of private estates to disappear.
One of them might be the USS-SC area, a cluster of roughly guessed 130 sims mainly used for sailing.

To protest against the price raise, on Wednesday a group of sailors held a marathon cruise through the whole area, most of them using special sails that had been created to voice the protest against said price rise.

There’s a JIRA entry that uses the votes as a counter of how many people don’t like the price rise here.

Here are a few pictures of the event, a video of the event is here.





Wedding at sea…

Last saturday, there was a nice little ceremony at Union Passage:
Kirby Jameson and Sidney Sheldon got married on board of his Trudeau Tradewind…
Rick Wake of cobblestone vineyard fame was officiating, and as usual did a tremendous job on it.
