It's raining MESH!!!

I'm Ellie and I have decided to defend my SL shopping obsession by contributing to my good friend Boo's Blog.
 I love to mix 'n match different pieces of different designer's works together, and have found the CTS Wardrobe an invaluable time saver.....or at least it will be when I finish going through my embarrassingly large inventory.
For my first blog however I will start with Boo and I's new favorite thing...MESH. Why are some people so reluctant to upgrade for this feature?......crazy......cause SL worked just perfect without it ?...LOL.it's awesome...go download it now....I'll wait.....

MY DIGITS

I decided to join in on the "What's Your Digits?" project started by Berry of strawberrysingh.com. In world, I'm a proud burlesque performer at the Viva La Glam sim, so I pay a lot of attention to my shape in hopes that others will too *badabum* When I created my shape, there were three factors that were the most important. I wanted my SL body to be proportionate, natural and curvy. I'm on the thick side for SL standards, so sometimes resizing can be a pain, and there's certain things I just can't wear (just like RL). But overall, I love the shape I created, and I can't foresee ever changing it. Besides, who would want to resize all that stuff again? :P
