Video Tutorial: How to Tint Clothing

In a run of bad luck, my hard drive crashed on my desktop last week and took with it 3 years' worth of files (back up your data, kiddies, I learned the hard way!) and now my laptop is bluescreening every few minutes. While I wait for a company to try to recover my files, I decided to try my hand at creating a few video tutorials.

First up, How to Tint Clothes in Second Life:

I get a lot of requests for custom colors on outfits, but many people don't realize that they can often do this themselves quickly and easily! Check out the tutorial and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Store cards and Marketplace

At long last, I've implemented the TMC store card system, so now you can easily gift *ICING* items. *ICING* Store Cards are a wonderful gift for your friends or partner, providing them with a fun and easy shopping experience. Instead of paying for *ICING* products, simply wear the card and click to shop!

How To Use The Card:

1. Wear the card
2. Select the item you want purchase
3. Instead of paying, RIGHT CLICK the item and select "Card..." from the top of the pie menu
4. If the item cost more then the balance on your gift card then you may have to pay the difference.

Store cards are available in 250, 500, 1000, and 2500 linden values. These cards work at all locations and can be purchased in the main store at Mischief Cove or on the Marketplace.

Note: Purchases made in the normal fashion will not be debited from the card- shop carefully!

Marilyn

I felt like doing something a little different and silly this week. Marilyn is a satin halter dress with a draped neckline and a pleated skirt, available in Gold, White, Pink, and Periwinkle.

The skirt is scripted to blow up in the wind, like Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch". Wear it like any dress, but step on the included scripted grate and woosh, up flies the skirt! The skirt can also be triggered by a gesture or simply by typing '/95 woosh' and '/95 stop' in main chat. Two skirt versions are included with each color, each animates your avatar in a different pose.

All Eyes on Me

Need something extravagant for New Years? I felt inspired by a recreation of Goldfrapp's Supernature album cover I did for kicks and ended up with this. *ICING* All Eyes on Me is a sumptuous gown of sapphire and emerald silk, with a painted peacock on the bodice and an oh so dramatic prim tail trailing off one side of the skirt. A bright bit of flexi prim plumage at the shoulder finishes the look. This outfit can be worn in two ways: as a pencil skirt with the feathers worn off one hip, or as a tea length prim skirt (versions for slim and curvy avatars included.)

The model is wearing:
Skin: []::Tuli::[] S5 medium ~ glam 1
Hair: ETD Eva II - Smoke
Earrings: Paper Couture Crystal Bloom Earrings

Lashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

New Release: Glam Stole

Here's a bit of sumptuous luxury for the holidays. The *ICING* Glam Stole is a soft white fur wrap in two versions: one that can be worn slung low and across the elbows or another that is thrown elegantly over one shoulder. The stoles have an embedded AO that allow your avatar to wear the various pieces naturally while standing, walking, sitting and flying. Best of all, it's modifiable, so you can customize the poses and tint it any color you wish for maximum versatility.

Now the disclaimers: For best results, you should turn off or remove any other AOs as they may interfere with the look of the stole. Dancing in the stoles may cause your avatar to appear as if it is being attacked by 3 rabid albino raccoons.

Clothing and other accessories not included.

The model is wearing:
Dress: *ICING* Vixen - Ruby
Necklace and Earrings: *ICING* Princess Pearl Set
Ring: P.C; Times Square Ring - Diamond
