I haven’t posted in a long time I’m sorry to say.

When you take pictures with Firestorm, you can select the size of the image you want.  You can even ask the program to save an image that’s larger than your screen resolution (which is wonderful for bloggers, it’s like using a large format camera in real life!)

Recently (and I’m guessing it’s when I updated the the latest version of FS), saving hi-rez images like this appeared to work… except the output would be a 25KB file containing black, certainly not what you want!  Unfortunately, this was an intermittent problem, and it became so frustrating for me that I stopped wanting to take photos.

You can probably see what’s coming… I found a workaround!  If you’re experiencing anything like this, try setting your image size and then unchecking the “Constrain proportions” checkbox.  This seems to have fixed the issue for me!

So finally, I was able to take these photos of an outfit was was released by Glitzz for their Advent calendar, but is now available FREE for their group members in-store!  Glitzz is L$300 to join at the time of writing, which is quite expensive, so if you like their outfits, you should watch for free join weekends!

This lingerie includes the choker, corset, pasties, panties, stockings, and gloves.  It also includes a fur stole which I chose not to wear as it’s rigged and not resizable, which means I’d have to muck around with my hair to get it to fit… naw 🙂

Sizes in the pack are Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, and Reborn.

One nice thing about this outfit is the stockings, which are a full mesh set all the way down to your toes.  There’s no variation with them, I have to wear them with Lara feet set to “High”.  But the nice thing is that Glitzz have managed to get them very tight on the feet, allowing you to actually wear some heels with them!  I must have ohh a dozen sets of mesh stockings like this, and this is the first set that’s I’ve been able to do this with.  Yay Glitzz!

Here’s a FREE group gift for members of KimCloud.  Their group is FREE to join.

I really like the “both straps over one shoulder” look, and the color scheme!  There is also a black version via a HUD, which allows you to color the top and bottoms separately.  There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Reborn Rolls, and Reborn Juicy.

One of the groups I belong to – Havoc – seems to offer group gifts each weekend, and only for the weekend.  Their group is FREE to join.  I haven’t been in the group long enough to know if this is a regular thing or not, but the last three weekends have seen gifts.  This weekend, I’m quick enough to blog one, and if you’re quick enough, it’s yours as well!

This bikini and top is three separate pieces.  There are sizes for Lara, Legacy, Kupra, Freya, and Hourglass.  It’s also a generous fatpack, with a HUD containing thirteen plain colors and eleven patterns.  You can color each of the pieces individually.

Hello sweets!  This is a lucky chair win from Pure Poison.  The are four chairs at the store for members of the group, which is FREE to join.  There’s also a chair for members of FabFree, which is also FREE to join.

This outfit is sized to fit Lara, Legacy, Isis, Freya, and Hourglass.  The boots are included and come in fittings for the same sizes as the dress.  I’m not much on high platforms, and normally with a dress this short, I’d wear flats.  These boots are nicely done however, and if you get your hover height just right, they look pretty good when walking.

Both the dress and the boots come with separate thirteen color HUDs to personalize them.  You can color the top and skirt of the dress separately, and there are four metal colors to choose from.   The boot HUD lets you color the main boots, the platforms, the heels, and the toes all individually, which might make for some clownishly eye-catching combinations!  The boots also have four colors for the soles.

This is a very nice FREE gift.  The only drawback is that the chairs are on a fifteen minute turnover, which is quite a long time if you don’t get lucky and have your letter come up quickly.  I had to wait over two hours for this one!

Here’s an eye-catching group gift from Black Angel.  Their group is FREE to join, and there are lots of past group gifts available.

This dress with its strappy overlay is all one piece, and is sized for Lara, Venus, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique.  It comes with an eight color HUD that allows you to set the color of the dress and straps separately.  As you can see, the dress is materials enabled, although it really could have done with a proper spec map to make the glitter pop, never mind.

The Fifty, the monthly event by the organizers of Fifty Linden Fridays, is celebrating an anniversary this round, and there are FREE gifts at most every creator’s stall.  Simply wear the Fifty Linden Fridays tag – FREE to join – to get them.

This bodysuit is the pick of the gift outfits.  It’s a wonderful design with the sheer fabric and lace ruffles.  There’s also a floral patterned version whose main fabric is more modest.

Sizes include Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Reborn.

Collabor88 is on at the moment, and I was having a wander around and I saw this dress.  The photo showed what I thought was a daring side cutaway crossed with ties.  I should have tried the demo, but as it was only L$188 for a single color and one of my favorite colors was staring me in the face, I didn’t.  When I tried it on, I realized the dress should have been 50% off, because it’s only 50% there!

Sizes include Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, eBody and eBody Curvy, Kupra, Belleza Classic (I’m guessing Venus?), Belleza Curvy (I’m guessing Freya?), Reborn (and “Juicy” addons”).

There’s also a fatpack available for L$1488.
