Hint Hint nudge nudge Kaguya's charity is giving one away.

It has a dark elegance to it Tiva, regardless of simplicity.

Actually Uma, that is pretty much what I do, lol. I'll choose a color (usually one of the ones in my sig) and build around it. Saloon style was a luck up for me, especially after this last event. This time I chose red, and think it's turned out pretty well. Even if it is the same old witchy thing. XD I really like corsets and the like.

I like Umaeril's dress/horns/hair/everything

I tend to have an idea - like "robotic" or "pirate"
Then I pick a few colors/items (Usually 2...can't seem to avoid my avi's becoming messy when I add more ;_;)

Then I just add around them.

Lawtan, so glad you are here, I was going to stalk you but now I don't have to. =P Nah, but I did want to talk to you about your Very Dynamic avatar, wow I can almost hear the shrieks coming out of the raging inferno behind you. What inspired you?

Hi again Tiva, Kaguya is giving one away? Ok that is a very cool thing to do. If I ever go I would like to give my stuff away. Speaking of which...there is a place I need to go and do that. *sigh* I hate it when sites die.

And how is Kilala in all of her crimson and white? I Adore corsets. I wish I could wear one IRL! My husband would just die, but the thing is that I did that essentially for ren faire, wore boning, and it was NOT comfortable. And I did that for like 5 years running so I know what it is like to be in a corset. I'll stick to using it on my avatar. XD

Hello all!
Just browsing around the forums I've seen some amazing avatars.
I don't know much about any of the items on this site, but what are some cool looking items that are easier to acquire for a new user?

Hi there Adariel, nice to meet you, I am Uma. Ok I have been keeping track of my avatars since 2010, I I can tell you of some good items. Some do not cost much in aurum or runes. Just a question please, are you limited to whatever aurum you get here, or are you able to get runes? Maybe think about that since you have not been here long. For aurum you can get commons. They are some of them very versatile. Like the Tea Time items, for example, can be bought for the pose and it comes with a ton of colors. Like if you get the Tea Time feathered hat then you get all the colors in that hat. Or there are other commons where you have to buy just the color of an item. But even so, they all blossom to 5 shades. So I would first look around the shops. Tell us what you like in an avatar. Have you been to other avatar places? I'll start with that, I have too many questions, lol, I am always asking questions.

That is a lot of questions!
I mean, right now I might want to stick with Aurum. Runes wouldn't be a problem for me to get, but I don't want to jump into that quite yet!
I will have to take a look at the shops! I did quickly yesterday, but I will take a more detailed look today! I like kind of cute pastel type avatars. Sometimes I also like really dark avatars, but that's on occasion. I've been to quite a few other avatar sites, so I'm not new with them in general.

Ok cool, well then, you just need some nice commons. The Lolita shoes are darling if you like cute clothes. There is also the poof skirt. Take a look at it, if you like it I have one I don't wear in Coral. Take a look at the Coral range of colors, they are really cool. I also like the Lolita Mesh Gloves a lot, very cute. You can find them in Eclectic Trends I think. Not sure about the poof skirt. Ok that can get you started. Oh you'll need stockings too of course, there are Stockings (that is the name) in all different colors and Mesh Tights too. Don't by a bunch of skirts, I have a few I don't want, but let's see what you like and if you even want to stick around Tris. Haha, true though! XD

Thank you for the help! I will go and browse the commons now and come back and tell you what catches my fancy. I'll stick around as long as there is a nice community, which it seems there is! I only left some of the other sites because of problems with users x.x

Ah, yes, I see, that is a drag, I totally understand. Ok have fun with the commons. One thing is that you get achievement points for lots of the things you do around here. There are some great token items. Ok, I will ttyl. I am going to watch some Mystery Science Theater and eat popcorn with my husband. XD And I have to go to bed super early because I work tomorrow at 7:30.

I feel like a nerdy witch/ witch-y librarian, lol. I love the way corsets look, but I don't want to wear one with boning. I've borrowed a few corset style shirts from a few friends, and LOVED them, but for a real corset... Boning seems like it'd be way too uncomfortable for me. I love how sexy they are though, and I think the fact that I don't have any irl, is what draws me to them so much for my avs. >w<

Enjoy the time with your Hubs, Uma, and eat some popcorn for me! ;)

Also, hi Andariel! I hope you find this wonderful little site as charming and amazing as I do. :)

Wow, Kilala, you look fantastic! I love the colors of this new avatar, very original. What are those colors? I see a brown, crimson and white. I LOVE the shoes, where did you get those, so cute!

Yes on the corset, I agree, that is why we have our lovely avatars, to play with the stuff we cannot use IRL.


So what is everyone going to do this weekend?

I wear a corset once a week. After so long it doesn't really bother me though it is a steel boned one, but I enjoy the look.

Quidditch Tourney this weekend in Rock Hill SC if anyone wants to come out.... I am going to support the team but I don't play.

I have no clue what the actual colors are. None of the items I'm using have a set color except for the hair, lol. And thank you! The shoes (and stockings, skirt, arm warmers, and hat) are Tea Time items, and I adore the versatility of them!


I'm planning on overhauling our laundry if I can get some assistance from le hubs. Our laundry room is downstairs in the basement, and I have problems with the stairs. (I was in a car accident 3 years ago that really messed up my ankle. It makes it hard for me to get around sometimes.) Other than that I want to find something new to binge on via Netflix, and maybe play some COD.

That actually sounds like fun, Tiva. Wish I had a ride up that way. I've always wanted to see a live Quidditch game.

Are you wearing a corset for the shape it imparts Tiva, or for fun maybe? When I was wearing one it was only every day for 6 weeks and then off for a year. Hehe. Ren Faire. Omg that thing felt so good to take off. I don't fit in it now. :(

Quidditch! I had heard that the game was played, but I have not seen it. Were I in SC I would go, most certainly, but I am in Maryland. How neat, I would like to see that played!

It is ..... different. They look pretty goofy but it is an actual sport. My boyfriend is trying to add lib of how awesome they are.... but they aren't. The world cup is in myrtle beach this year.
