Insolence - Flore Lingerie

I can't believe that I've had this set in my inventory for so long and haven't blogged it, but I missed the original release notice and by the time I'd raced over to Insolence and picked up a set, I had stacks of posts in the works. That said, the best way to handle an oversight is to admit it and fix it, so that's what I'm doing here before I return to skulls, roses, wire and bones tomorrow. The Flore Lingerie Ensembles by Insolence are light, delicate, airy sets with lots of optional details and combinations, the perfect offset to the heavier fall colors and fabrics.

The set has several different looks included with both a balcony bra and a triangle bra as well as traditional and string panties. You can add optional tiny ties and lacy underbra ruffle to tailor the look to any mood or preference. This set is available only in light colors of Cream, Lavender, Peach, Green, Pink and White - sorry red and black fans, but darker colors would overwhelm the delicate textures. As always the ensemble is flexible with tattoos, coming in all layers except jacket. This set does not come with stockings, but any of you Insolence fans like myself know that you can easily grab any other Insolence piece and it will work, though this outfit is very sweet and innocent without and at L$290 per color it has more than enough options to be a smart purchase.

Slip into something where a little less is definitely more at the Insolence Main Store.

A Perfect Place - Dickins Photography Studio

Well, with the new viewer, I discovered that my pictures were coming out even more dismal than usual, so I went on the hunt for better lighting and settings. I wasn't really getting anywhere in finding the lighting I needed to show clothes to their best advantage, nor was I finding settings that weren't difficult to work with within lighting constraints. On a whim, I did a search for photo studio and Dickins Free Photography Studio came up. What the heck, if you can't find natural lighting you like, create some, right?

From the Studio Brochure:

Our photo stations are equipped with the N30 Deluxe Modeling Studio version 2.9, loaded with 240+ poses for male and females and dozens of backdrop images.
Controlling the modeling studios is easy. You can use the commands in the attached notecard or opt to purchase a low prices HUD which is good for any N30 Deluxe Modeling Studio version 2.6 and above.

What does all this mean? It means that I spent a huge amount of time trying different options and didn't even scratch the surface of what was available. You control the station with a series of commands on a channel specific to that station. There are also menus for driving the modeling table, lighting and effects or they can be touch controlled directly. You can learn all about this by either clicking around and experimenting or reading the Modeling Studio Abridged Guide that you are given.

You can start and stop the modeling table rotating as you move through the hundreds of poses either automatically on a timer, manually scrolling through or by choosing individual poses. There are effects such as snow, fog, bubbles and stars and a long list of various fog specific commands for density and colors. The lights can also be managed on a color by color or bank by bank basis allowing you full control of the lighting. The Modeling Studio guide and Dickins Photography Studio business card both have lots of information on optimizing your effects and enhancing the quality of your pictures.

I used almost none of the available options and only a fraction of the backgrounds, lighting and effects available (as well as being not the greatest photographer) and still got great results. I didn't even try out any of the available props this time, but you can be sure I will in the future. I can see this becoming a staple for the blog and a huge consumer of my time in Second Life.

Grab an armful of clothes (and maybe a friend), head to Dickins Free Photography Studio and have a whole lot of fun! (And don't forget to tip!)
