Social Media Meme

Strawberry Singh posted another blog meme, so here we go! And credits below :)

What was the first social network you joined using your SL Avatar?

Flickr

Which social networks are you currently on using your SL Avatar?
Flickr
Facebook Page
Plurk
Pinterest
Tumblr
Second Life Profile

Which network is your favorite?
I'm not super social on any of them but I would say my favorite is Plurk because you can get a lot of info there on what is going on in SL and if you need help/advice/whatever its pretty active.

Which network is your least favorite?
Facebook is probably my least favorite just because.. I don't know I've never really liked it other than the games.

Which network do you have the most amount of connections?
Flickr

How/Where do you usually read/use most of your networks?
Just on my desktop. I can't remember all the passwords to use them anywhere else.

What are your favorite social networking apps? (if applicable)

What do you like most about social networking sites?
Coming across blogs, pictures, or whatever that I wouldn't have found on my own. And knowing what is going on in SL (events and stuff).

What do you like least about social networking sites?
Drama queens. And the people who think you aren't allowed to have an opinion if it differs from their own.

Do you feel social networks are a good way to promote you/your brand/your work? 
Absolutely if you can do it without being spammy. I love seeing blog updates, event ads, work in progress posts...

What is your main reason for using Social Networks?
Like I said before, I like knowing what all is going on. I'm not a super social person but I do love to meet people I share interests with!

Hello lovelies! Today I'm wearing one of The Plastik's Astrali skins available at The Skin Fair. Something I've learned about this store is that they are very generous with their releases. This skin has a lot of extras including face tattoos, freckles, and even eyes! I'm wearing some of the eyes that came with the skins too. Check this out and the other tones at the fair!



The headpiece I'm wearing is from Pididdle and its only available until the 21st of this month, so hurry up and go get it! The adorable purse is from Adore&Abhor as they celebrate their 5th anniversary. Other designers are celebrating as well by putting exclusives in the A&A shop that will be available until April 16.

Cat

This is Cat, a super pretty skin by Mons, and its available now at the Skin Fair! There are 4 makeups that range from soft and subtle to dark and kinda edgy. My pick is the "soft makeup". I'm wearing the Light tone and light brows but there are more to choose from. I LOVE the thick eyebrows on this skin :heart: its probably my favorite thing about it!

Sadie

After trying and falling in love with the mesh head from Snow Rabbit, I knew that I had to try Sadie from LOGO as well. I'm so glad I did because, like pretty much everyone else, I love it too. The HUD has so many options - you can even change the appearance of the nose! Sadie was released a little while ago but there are new extras available now at the Skin Fair. The gorgeous glittery makeups (pictured above) are all brand new and you can mix and match them together or with the original makeups. They come as an addon - you just drag the scripts into your HUD.



This is my Sadie face :) I'm wearing one of the original lipglosses, a new glitter eyeshadow (add-on), and high res eyes (add-on). I'm also wearing hairs from Ploom (top pics) and Exile (bottom pic).

Clover

Another preview from the Skin Fair. This is Clover from Essences. I'm wearing the Sunkissed tone with brown brows but there are several others to choose from. In the pics below you can see the 6 tattoo lashes and 16 eyeshadows. (8 colors of eyeshadows each in light and dark) There are also 6 blushes that I forgot to picture but they are very lovely, subtle contour blushes.





I'm also wearing the Sonia hairstyle from LaViere and City Lights eyes from Insufferable Dastard. You can grab this skin by Essences on March 15 at the Skin Fair! Check out my other skin fair posts here.

My Seven SL Facts

This is my entry for Glam Affair's Amberly contest. I think this skin is so pretty - its definitely one of my favorites. You can find info on the contest and rules here.

Onto the meme! Strawberry Singh started a blog meme to tell about our SL lives... so here are my seven very boring facts!

 

My SL Fact #1:
I've had land several times but I always keep coming back to my messy cluttered platform.

My SL Fact #2:
I get a mini panic attack whenever someone IMs me.

My SL Fact #3:
I barely talk to anyone in SL because I'm shy. (I'm super nice though you just have to have a high tolerance for awkward, more awkward and lack of common sense) and I have a hard time talking to people who are too serious.

My SL Fact #4:
My current inventory size is 28,009 items. Which is WAY too much for me.

My SL Fact #5:
I'm planning to put together a (hopefully annual) SL event for a charity my husband is involved with in real life.

My SL Fact #6:
I have a store but I don't like to blog or advertise myself.

My SL Fact #7:
I'm more boring in SL than in RL.

Nea

Today I am wearing a mesh head! I haven't been too crazy about them but this one by Snow Rabbit (coming soon to the Skin Fair) is so incredibly pretty I don't ever want to take it off :love: The face is animated to smile, blink, close eyes, and squint a little. I took a few seconds of video in world to show you and you can check that out here on my flickr page or watch it below:

[flickr video=http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixel-pretty/8549766320/]

You can change the settings with the HUD and you can also choose your eyeshadow, lip color, and blush. If you wear the eyes that come with it you can change one or both eye colors with the HUD as well but you can wear other prim or mesh eyes if you like. I tried some Mayfly eyes with it and they looked great :) There are different eyelashes to choose from too with a hard and soft version of each.

The Skin Fair opens on March 15 and lasts until March 31. More info here.

I LOVE the roller skates by The Secret Store at The Arcade :heart: (and isn't this pose from the new "derby girl" set @ !bang perfect for them?!) I really really wanted the floral ones but I've spent way too many lindens already. Anyway, I lucked out and got them in mint which is one of my favorite colors! I was sure I had a few shirts in mint too but I couldn't find them in my messy inventory.. so whats better than a pink tee from Boom! And it matches the cute ears also at The Arcade by Pididdle. You can grab this mesh tattoo from Whore Couture Fair (its made by Tenjin). Why mesh? So it can be worn on only one arm! Now check out the bag I'm wearing also from The Arcade by Tableau Vivant:
