It was announced earlier in the week that the UK is planning on banning e-cig products.
Not in the UK? Make no mistake, this affects all vapers, worldwide. If this ban goes through, it will give the FDA much needed ammo for the appeal in their current case against SE/Njoy. It will be a hop skip and a jump to a worldwide ban. We have until May to make our voices heard, that is the deadline for all comments/petitions.
If vaping has impacted your life in a positive way, now’s your chance to tell your story. We need positive feedback and honest testimonies of how vaping has helped you. Please no flaming or trolling, it just won’t help. Ash Out.
This is the best and most comprehensive guide on the net to “vaping” by Spikey from Vapers Forum.
Thanks to Ivey and the folks over at the forum, my life has changed completely. I havent touched a regular cig since December and I have never felt better. Check out the forum, there’s heaps of great info including health articles that are a fascinating read.
School, college, university………one of the most popular RP scenarios in SL. I won’t name sims, you already know them you dirty lot :P Guys generally take on the “teacher” role, not counting the fabulous headmistress at School Girls Gone Bad, but thats a bedtime story for another time.
Dressing the part helps suspend your belief and immerse yourself in the RP, much in the same way a snippet of fact in a book of fiction tricks your brain into believing the whole story.
SL is all about possibilities, and I have such fun turning stereotypes on their heads. Sure, wanna play naughty college students? I’ll be the teacher dammit :p Thats why I was more than stoked to find the outfit I’m showing today.
This school teachers outfit from MPS is so hot it should be fucking illegal. I blame Sasy of course, for posting the cheeky mini skirts from there. As soon as this rezzed in for me, it was right click buy with no hesitation at all. It even comes with a nifty pointer, which could double as a switch depending on your frame of mind. On the RP subject, one thing that never ceases to amaze me, is the people that say they loath it so much, they have a whole list of scenarios that upset them listed in their profiles, while claiming to never have set foot in an RP sim. Really, really? I call shenanigans. Ash Out.
So I’ve been getting this really weird bug, where I’m seeing alpha halos round everything. I know theyre not supposed to be there, and I only get them at certain angles, but it’s made taking pictures absolute hell. Is anyone else having this issue?
Apart from the texture weirdness, I’ve been a wee bit distracted and have gotten terribly behind again, so I’ll be playing catchup for a bit. After all the amazing over the top outfits I’ve shown the last couple of weeks, I felt the need to show a relaxed look. Casual and comfy, but still sexy….in that girl next door kinda way.
Fri.day’s latest release fits the bill perfectly, beautiful scoop back sweaters and adorable hair. I love the fact that from the front, these sweaters look so demure, but turn round and bam! Smexy. I have a love for scoop backs in rl, my whole back is tattooed, so backless clothes are like mecca for me.
I could kill Justice….last week I had a hankering for a denim mini skirt, so she sends me to the Plastik. Of course, the skirts I bought are so fucking perfect, I am now ruined for any other denim mini. Ruined I say….bah. The beautiful skins shown throughout are the new release from Amacci. Felicia is so pretty, I’ve shown her in the Bronze tone. You have about 16 makeups to choose from, so there’s a look for all tastes and all the amazing options skin designers have spoilt us with of late. Back to Photoshop I go, thats if I dont get distracted again in the meantime :P Ash Out.
This is my final post about the 2010-The Future is Now event, and it really has got me thinking. What would the future be like if all the flaws and imperfections that make us so fragile and so human were gone? SL in particular seems to attract the most broken and damaged people, how would our SL be if we were all “perfect”?
Funny how Sasy and Mel always seem to be intune with what I’m thinking or feeling, even if we’ve all beeen doing the offline dance for a week! Sasy’s post here, struck a chord. It should with you too. Onto the clothes. The outfit is Rebel X’s offering for the 2010-The Future Is Now event. Sidera 9 is gorgeous, structured, and screamed girl bot to me.
Speaking of girl bot, I just had to show you the skin, sans clothes. It’s a store Jussy found, on her quest for metal perfection. Terra’s Bodyart is a wonder of creativity and talent. Each piece is a work of art, and completely fucking seamless. When you see what she has on offer there, you’ll understand why that such a big deal. From stunning chrome goddesses, to yakuza tattooed skins, if you want something unique and very different, this is the place to find it. Terra also does custom art, you just need to IM her to discuss it. Ash out.
I love logging into “Bella Bombast has offered you………” which is usually followed by “damn youre offline!” This always makes me giggle because I don’t hide my online status, and she’s on my friends list :P But I do understand the bubble, the one designers get into when there’s an upcomming release, and Elvis could be online for all they know (and most likely is, but that’s another story)
I have a gorgeous dress to show you from Uzuri, the Hamu, along with the latest hair from Fri.day. The snow has long since melted over here in my part of the world, and already I’m looking forward to spring. My sl has reflected that, with me and Jussy redoing our land and our choice in day to day clothes. Hat hair is my all time fave, and I’ve been waiting for a fedora to replace my beloved ETD one. I think I may have found it. And check out the gorgy biker jacket, also from Uzuri. It’s all prims, so get ready to edit.
The skin shown in the pic above is Lelutka’s contribution to sl’s fundraising effort for Haiti. One thing I love most about our community is how we all pull together in times of crisis. Be it as a creator or a consumer, anything you can do is something.
Bringing it home with the 3rd Fri.day hair for this release and a classic colour for the Hamu dress. And now, my boring ass must bid you adieu as Mini Ash is on a ridonculous sugar high after a birthday party…….wish me luck :P Ash Out.
We already knew Barerose can’t be beaten for diversity and value. June’s creativity runs the gammit of every possible fashion genre, and then some. To say Jussy and I were stoked to see Barerose in the 2010-The Future is Now show is something of an understatement.
Echidna is spectacular. Just the right combination of smex and badass, and beautiful texturing. Yes, it’s armour, but it’s feminine and can totally be worn minus some of the prim parts.
And of course, you absolutely cannot beat the price. You get everything, including boots, so no need to go on a grid crawl trying to find something to match (unless you want to that is :P) Ash Out.

One of the things I noticed about the Future Is Now show, was how supportive the designers were of each other during. One such designer who was sitting in chat range of me was SySy Chapman. She was whopping and cheering for every design that came down the runway, and I could hear her also making a note of what she was gonna buy :P
Gaga is SySy’s creation for the event. It comes in a range of colours, and yes, I have nipple lasers, deal with it! The skin I’m wearing is from KA Designs, also for the event. I was chatting with Winter about the KA skins, he said he wanted a main stream skin designer who could “bring it” and I think Kira covered that quite nicely.
The beautiful hair is from Exile, it comes with fibre optic attachments and braid attachments, for some reason my client wasnt rezzing prims correctly yesterday, so sadly I cant show you the braids. Take my word for it though, they are the cute! Ash Out.

When Thora gave me this folder I just about died and went to girlbot heaven. This is Leltuka’s contribution to the 2010-The Future Is Now event, and was the showstopper of the fashion show. After totally freaking Sasy and Whimsy out, I knew the EVE avatar had the desired effect :P I’m so ebil!
You get absolutely everything you need to make this look yours, including a HUD to customize the colours of the tail and eyes. You will need to wear the shape provided, unless youre the awesome at editing prims (which I am not)
What makes this av all the more interesting for me, is Thora’s departure from the high fashion side of things, she really let loose and had her imagination run wild. I hope she does more along these lines in the future, who knows what shameless begging will do for a girl! Ash Out.
The first of my series of posts for the amazing 2010-The Future Is Now event. I was lucky enough to have a front row seat, along with Eden and Jussy. There were some absolute stunners, and it was incredible to see everyone thinking outside the box.
As soon as this came down the runway, Jussy and I were all WANT. Then when we realised it was created by Ivey as Sn@tch’s contribution, we were DOUBLE WANT. The avatar is absolutely stunning in every way. It comes complete with skin, hair, eyes, clothes, and the showstopper tentacles.
Kali is the Goddess of time and change, and has been flung into the 21st century exqusitely by Ivey. If the future is nipple tentacles, gimme moremoremore!! I wanted Jussy to model for me, cos she totally rocked the av hard. Now I’ve got to catch up with my overflowing to blog folder, a week off is like a month in SL :P Ash Out.
