When I first started with RUNWAY Magazine and the amazing Maggie Mahoney, Second Life was still going through that rather exciting period where your skirt would simply vanish for no good reason, usually somewhere public, and embarassing.
So, when I started to write my monthly column for RUNWAY, I decided to call it Landing Strip, a play on words for a Runway, obviously, but also because I would arrive 'stripped' half the time I was going somewhere.
Landing Strip has been great fun, so I'm going to put it up on here every month.

The thing that got me started on this blog was the recent 'challenge' by Alaska Metropolitan on her blog, My Virtual World. The challenge... to take the newbie shape, happily known as 'Ruth', and changing ONLY her foot size, (and NO photoshopping!) tart her up and see how she looks.
Here is the post for that:

And here is the Group on Flickr to post the results...

Well, after I stopped shuddering at the thought of how I used to look, I decided to have a crack at it.
Here are the results!
After I'd played around a bit, I decided, you know, she's actually not bad. So I thought, first up, lets give her a spot of High Fashion and a funky sim backdrop. Its a great shame I'm not a good photographer - and I'm SO not - so here was Result Number 1!
Miriel Realistic Eyes - Marine, Detour Stage Lashes, Skin DC Adriane Cream - Midnight (Royal)
Hair by The Abyss - Secret - Steel, Giusia LILI Brown outfit, and Stiletto Moody Pinup Patent Black.
Not Bad, Ruth!

Well, after such a great start, I wondered how she'd scrub up if we put her in a ballgown and some fancy jewellery. I must admit, she's really not bad at all. What IS terrifying is that I didn't know you could do all this stuff to Ruth in the beginning, which is a pity, because I have spent HOURS and a FORTUNE tinkering around with shapes, LOL.
LD Honey Ashlin Skin, Detour Stage Lashes, Miriel Realistic Eyes - Marine, Miriel Gibson Girl Hair - Silver,
Nikki Ree Relay 2008 Mara Collection in Ruby, Stiletto Moody Pinup Patent Badseed, WLB Dark Ruby Set, Bracelet, Earrings, Necklace.

I've had so much fun in Second Life, and I keep finding things I want to post somewhere... so I figured, well, I'd better have a blog. I have NO idea how it'll go, but at least I've got a place to put fun stuff.
I wanted to add a picture, too - here I am, right back at the beginning - Noob City for me! One of the fun things will be adding piccies, lord, has this girl come a long way in a year...
Mind you, I still LOVE that hat!
