Island Style Designs — Hula Girl mesh hula outfit (Maitreya/Physique fitmesh/standard 5 rigged mesh sizes) (includes mesh ti skirt, white top, hibiscus haku lei with ferns, kukui necklace, plumeria lei, and hibiscus flowers for your ear — all of the items that you see here except for the kupe’e and kakau, the anklets/bracelets and tattoo!)
Also, that lovely traditional canoe behind me? It’s a wa’a kaukahi, a single-hulled canoe with an outrigger. This lovely one came from Tiki Tattoo, purveyor of lovely island decor. This is a really lovely piece, and was a gift to me from a dear friend.
As I mentioned, Blueberry gave away L$500 store credit at SLB15! This is the other outfit I purchased with mine. I must have been in the mood for things in cream that day 🙂
I’m a bit of a sucker for one piece swimsuits, I think they can be even more sexy than bikinis. Sometimes it’s not so much what you reveal, but more about what you conceal.
This laced swimsuit comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Isis, Venus, Freya. It has a 25 color HUD for for the straps and laces. Each base color is L$199, and there a lots of colors to choose from.
As usual with Blueberry items, the fit and detailing is superb. Look at the inbuilt wrinkles in the fabric and such. If you zoom in close enough, you will even notice stitching on all the seams. Fantastic realism in clothing, yay!
While watching SLF&O group chat the other day, I saw this dress announced on an MM board that only required 14 slaps! I ran to have a look and was really surprised to see such a lovely little dress on a board only requiring so few entrants!
Needless to say, we managed to lock the board down easily. The dress is for Lara only though, so if it’s still available on the MM board or for sale in store, keep that in mind.
The dress also comes with a HUD with eight colors for the ribbons. I’m showing it here in white to match my fur 🙂 I thought this would look really nice on my DSD bunny, but as the bunny is only for system bods, this wasn’t going to work. If you’ve heard about Bakes on Mesh, this will fix that problem shortly! Strawberry Singh has a great video about Bakes on Mesh here.
During SLB15, Blueberry were giving away L$500 store credit towards anything in their store! I heard a rumor that the credit would expire after five days, so I wasted no time in selecting a couple of outfits.
This stunningly detailed bra, pantie, and dress set comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass. Each color is L$250, and there is a large range of colors to chose from.
Each piece is separate and so can be worn individually or all three together. The detailing on the bra and panties is exquisite. This is not just an alpha-ed texture, but actual mesh. The fit is extraordinary on Lara with no hint of clipping.
I particularly love mesh details like ties and bows, especially on lingerie, as it gives a true sense of realism that makes an outfit. Plus, having tried to make some myself, I appreciate how difficult they are to create! Another fabulous job from Blueberry!
This is certainly an outfit that will turn heads on the nightclub dancefloor, and when you get home with your sweetie 🙂
Lingerie and dress: Date Night – Cream by Blueberry
As you may know if you’ve read my “About Blue” page, I love writing scripts to get objects to do things in-world. It’s one of the reasons I joined SL, to discover what I could do with a new and interesting programming language. So, you get the occasional technical article on the blog. Feel free to skip this if you have no interesting in scripting 🙂
LSL is limited is a number of ways. One of them that it lacks a preprocessor. Preprocessors allow you to do things like:
#define CONSTANT value
and wherever the word CONSTANT appears in the script, the preprocessor will substitute value before it compiles the resulting code. This is great for things like debugging scripts, and many other uses.
If you are using Firestorm however, you can switch on a preprocessor for LSL built into the viewer!
Other than doing substitutions such as the example above, there are a number of things you can use defined constants for, such as conditional compilation. Also, the preprocessor implements a number of other functions such as code inclusion.
The feature I want to talk about though is the switch statement. LSL lacks this common feature of other C and Java-like languages. So the Firestorm developers included a way to have the preprocessor do it.
In their basic form, switch statements look like:
switch (expression) {
case value1: {
do something;
}
case value2: {
do something else;
}
}
And here is the point. We know that expression is something that can return an integer. The first time I used a switch statement in LSL, I coded what any C or Java programmer would and said:
switch (llListFindList (list1, list2)) {
knowing that llListFindList () would return an integer result. But on looking at the resultant code (you can see this in the preprocessor window in Firestorm after your code is preprocessed), I noted that the switch statement is translated into multiple if statements with jumps, but the preprocessor is not smart enough to evaluate the expression once and use the result! So if you have 40 case statements, the resulting code will have 40 calls to llListFindList () ! This is terrible for performance!
If you are using switch statements in your LSL, please evaluate your expression before handing it to the preprocessor. For example:
integer result = llListFindList (list1, list2);
switch (result) {
This will ensure expression is only evaluated once.
Aloha kākou! I’m so sorry I’ve been away and sporadic, hopefully things will get back to normal here over the next week! Like many of you, I enjoyed the big extravaganza of SL15, and picked up my store credit to Blueberry. I found something just perfect — the DWL Classic jeans!
The fatpack for these jeans is totally worth it. There’s a thirteen colour HUD plus exclusive patterns (I love the boho pattern shown — it matches my foil tattoos from Alaska Metro!), and three different jeans cuts – skinny, classic, and boot cut.
Hello lovely friends! As promised in a previous entry, I want to share with you some of my favorite items from L & B (Lapointe and Bastchild). All of their offerings feature superb mesh detailing like laces and zippers, and many color options (all of their products are sold as packs only, rather than in single colors).
One of the best of their items is the Aspen Denim Jacket, with an open front and optional knotted t-shirt, with sewn seams, zippers, pockets, buttons and an optional wool collar.
It comes in 10 plain denim colors plus one bonus theme denim choice, 7 inner lining options, 12 wool collar options, 5 jacket hardware choices, and 42 t-shirt options. It is available for fit mesh for Maitreya, Slink & Belleza. Check out the detail in the artwork on this jacket!
One of the areas in which L&B excel is in their leather goods. Here is a wonderfully matched set of the Dita jacket and Keiko pants. I particularly love the pants as you can set different parts of the pants to contrasting or complementary colors. There is also a non-leather version of the pants available too.
The jacket is a cropped length open front that includes sewn seams, zippers, pockets, tassels and buttons, and can be worn with or without the optional wool/fur collar and cuffs. There are 21 Leather options, 4 wool collar options, 6 fur collar options, and 5 jacket hardware choice. It comes as fit mesh for Maitreya, Slink & Belleza.
The pants are finished off with front grommets and lacing (corset style) plus zipper pulls with dangle tassels. The included texture HUD has 22 plain leather colors and 5 zipper metal options. Versions are included for fit mesh for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza as well as classic avatar fit mesh.
And how could one do a summer piece without a nice pair of shorts? These Dita denim shorts were originally featured at an event and are now available at the in world store. They are finished off with zip tassles and front lacing (corset style). It includes 12 denim textures, 3 theme versions, matching corset lacing, & 5 zipper metal options. It comes as fit mesh for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza.
The cute hoodie top is cut short to highlight your curves. It may be worn with or without the included Bra Tube Top, which I have omitted here (hey, it’s summer and it’s warm out!) The set comes with 36 plain fabric colors, 6 theme fabric options, 9 hood lining versions, plus 36 Bra Tube Top colors. It comes as fit mesh for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza.
I hope this giftie is still available! This full over one piece swimsuit is a group gift for members of TeleportHub. TeleportHub is L$10 to join, and once you do, there are gifts all over the grid, just waiting for you.
The swimsuit comes in classic standard sizes, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Fine, Curvy, and TMP.
The polkadot pattern is cute, and I really love the ties at the hips.
