Learning to Design Mesh Clothes


Off Topic

I must admit that for all but the narrowest skirts, I just can't enjoy SL dancing in a mesh one - dance is flow, and mesh doesn't.

Twelfthnight and a few others have had some good results with simultaneous skirt flow + modesty maintenance by using a combination of narrow mesh underskirt and prim/flexi overskirt (as long as the flexi isn't SO flexi that it moves whether you're moving or not!)

Food – To Die For: Food Preparation in the Georgian Era


Food

"Horrible Histories" has done some stomach-churningly good work on this theme.

Celebrating 20 years: Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a feminist parable for everyone.


Off Topic

Yes! The TV series still generates the occasional weekend immersion for me. My husband loves her too, and not only because she looks good wielding a stake. My daughter used to tout a strong preference for Susie Stackhouse, but I notice that as she becomes more of a full-time social activist, her tastes are shifting our way.

'Victoria' Is About To Become Your Biggest Non-Guilty Pleasure


History

According to the author interview that PBS aired right after the last episode of the season, the author is drawing heavily on Victoria's own diaries. Certainly some key details are right - the white wedding gown, the packing off of her mother's over-controlling "friend." I've gathered from other sources that Victoria was never actually recorded as having said "We are not amused" but I was quite amused by her use of the line in the show, while in bed with her husband. Having been pregnant and grumpy about it myself - without the added annoyance of a nation waiting impatiently on the outcome as though nothing else about me was important, or the reasonable terror induced by maternal mortality rates of the age - yes, Princess Charlotte did die in childbed, helped along by the incompetence of the doctor in attendance - I empathize with the attitude portrayed.

Going Home


Communty News & Events

I must say, Prince Jacon, that if your nephew George takes issue with your drinking, it is yet one more example of His Royal Highness as the much-burned pot, calling the kettle black after a minor delay in its scrubbing. You do not need such an excuse in order to move back to the baroque gem that is Clagny!

Amongst all chateaux and other stately homes in real life Europe, Chenonceau is my absolute favourite. It deserves a place in Second Life.

Yes, it proved a good way to watch Rufus Sewell...I enjoyed it! And not only him and Jenna Coleman. I was interested in the whole of it. I laughed aloud when I saw how much the throne room looks like the one in our Buckingham - and Jacon tells me that he and Twelfth are already considering the matter of textures earlier than the sources they found when they were building. I enjoyed seeing the interpretations of the people I've been studying for our Georgian period work, and the Whig and Tory politics. I enjoyed the rats and the tallow...so far, so good, and definitely a date for next Sunday.
