When this gown was dropped onto my profile it came with a very nice note from the designer as well as a nice chat with her. When I unpacked this I was blown away by just how many options you can wear this beautiful gown, and she has provided not just a ton of options but colors as well.
I asked her to drop me her fav color and she sent Ethereal Noire. Let me tell you this, the movement of this gown is beautiful, but when I saw the hat I smiled. I love hats, they add an air of mystery to a woman and the perfect touch for this gown. My grandmother always told me 2 things a woman should never be without ….her best red lipstick and the perfect hat. Lets not forget the brooch it to be worn with the straps.
The Ethereal comes with:
* Sleek Flexi skirt
* Train Flexi skirt
* Swooshy Flexi skirt
* Fluffy Flexi skirt
* Brooch
* Seperate straps
* Glamour Hat
* Gloves
All the layers, all the skirt options you could want and just look how beautiful and sophisticated.
I love this gown and I think you will as well, pop over she provides a demo in the store. Here’s the taxi and let me just mentuion for all this gown the price will make your wallet happy too.
Aimesi dropped a notice about their Midnight Mania Board, 80 taps = a free skin , so I went over to tap. I’ve been over there a few times admiring not only the skins but the clothes as well as the furniture designs and I really loved the soft summery Thea skins so today I bought the them.
Its been a mix n match day for me, I really loved my new shoes sooo I wanted to wear something fun and fresh with them. So beginning with the shoes from HEELS I popped over to Aimesi and got Thea ….tossed on this fab yellow blouse by *[ROC]*, watch this space for the upcoming information on Opium Fashions Runway show for this designer, you’re really going to love her things. But don’t wait to shop run over now and see whats new. My fav mini is from SySy absolutely perfect fit.

If you love shoes, like I do…these are going to make you smile ! I picked up a tip on these on another site , Moolto this is another social network site the difference is its a site geared to Second Life users, Social Network for Avatars and Community Store.
I went over and took a look at the shoes at HEELS and loved the styles. I loved the store too *laffs* one of the mosy unique lamps in SL you should go if just to see that. There is a MM Board for members only too.
The prices wont hurt you and the looks will make you smile too. I finally decided on Jewels Sorbet V2 in yellow. You will find in the box a HUD for skin color, a HUD for nail color as well and complete easy to follow instructions BUT I slipped these on right out of the box , no fuss no muss no adjusts and they were perfect for me.

To Darkley Aeon
Throughout the course of recent days much has been made of how your photographs were handled during the SLBD events by photoLIFE staff. I felt because of the amount of publicity that any conversations between us may be forgotten or not properly acknowledged so I felt it necessary to write this letter making it unequivocally clear the position of photoLIFE on how your photos were handled.
photoLIFE does not condone the use of any photographers photographs without their permission. I feel you were not properly informed of how the photographs from the Flickr site were used, and as a result, new policy has been put in place to prevent this type of occurance from happening again.
New Policy Change
”photoLIFE occationally uses textures submitted from the Flickr site for photography contest, and featured photographer displays. Those photographs on the photoLIFE Flickr site may be used during these types of settings. Those photographers posting to the Flickr site must now agree for any uploaded photos to be used in promotional settings of the Team photoLIFE group. The Purpose of this policy is to allow a smooth process to honor the work of individuals on the photoLIFE Flickr site. It allows our staff the ability to have your work posted in world for others to view without having to address each photographer individually which could take an endless amount of time depending on who is in word or not. Photographs uploaded to the Team Flickr site will never be sold or used for profit. Only display or contest purposes.”
This policy was not in place at the time you were not informed about the use of your photos. I sincerely apologize for this happening. I hope that you see that efforts are being made to prevent this from happening again.
I sincerely regret the manner in which you were addressed in this occurance by the photoLIFE staff. New policy has also been put into place that addresses the way your complaint was heard.
New Customer Service Policy Clarification
”……If a photoLIFE user has an issue they feel needs to be addressed. It is the policy that all affiliates of photoLIFE treat each issue with the upmost care and respect……..No desciplinary action should be made towards any individuals based on a formal complaint about programs or systems of photoLIFE…”
The final complaint that was made regarded the display your photo was on being set for sale. While I understand the implications behind such actions, I can not speak for anyone but myself in saying that photoLIFE has never sold the work of any photographer with or without asking.
After reviewing this case I have found that the nature of the item being set for sale suggest it was an error based on several points. The item that was set for sale was a wall approximately 20 meters long of around 20 photographs gathered from the Flickr group. Most of the photographs had the names of the photography studios from which they came from on them. The parent prim used in making the wall came from a product recently set for sale by the builder. The URL of the photoLIFE website appears on the wall. I know during our discussions you have agreed that you did not think the intended use of the photographs was malicious. While it is unfortunate that the wall being set for sale suggest an ill intent, I have no indications that the individual has ever attempted to steal or reproduce the work of any other photographer.
In regards to this incident , a new proceedure policy is in place “….before the opening of any event, a review must be made by the owner or the general manager of photoLIFE to approve the site and or any displays that have been built or made for it. This review will check for any oversight or misplaced permissions that may be misunderstood or against company policy.”
Finally, while I know this has been an unpleasant experience for you, for that I am truly sorry. Many people are not aware that we have had a friendly relationship and I know I can say I have always enjoyed the time we spent learning and discovering different photography approaches together. While I know relations have been strained, you are always welcome to be a part , however you see fit in the photoLIFE community.
LIFE is GOOD
