Autumn kimono

The chill in the air and the cold winds bring along a wondrous change. Bright colors of the sunset befall the green leaves of summer and a burst of color covers the land. Fall, such a nice season. Fall colors of kimonos are the same as the colors of Autumn. Reds, oranges, browns, and fall patterns are all very pretty in the colder months. Momiji or Turning leaves motifs and patterns are best. Kiku or Chrysanthemums and Tachibana are motifs for kanzashi's and kimono's. ^.^






This kimono is very beautiful. It's from Milky called Mai Sansafa. The fall colors really jump out of this kimono. It is very graceful by the seaside at dusk. What do you think??

Milky Kimono Hunt

Milky has a nice kimono hunt going on, unfortunately, the last day is tomorrow. I have to say, it was rather difficult and we just happened upon the last card by chance. Go to Milkyhouse, buy the hud (for free), wear it and you will find you need to find 15 boxes, or cards. In order to receive the prize, it says you have to save all the princesses. There are three princesses, that they say, were kidnapped. There are also priests hidden in the cards that will hinder the hunt, and if you touch one of them, all your princesses will be taken away. Yes, we had to do this several times and it was frustrating, lol.

The hud gives you very few hints, so I suggest walking all around the sim, going to the neo-japan sim, and lastly, falling into the waterfall at the kimono center for the final card. You will have two blank cards upon completion of the hunt. Then, it will give you the landmark for the prize. Unfortunately, for us, the last "gift giver" landmark wouldn't work, so I just had to get there by finding it on the map. It was well worth the hardship of the hunt, though. You get a nice these nice kimonos! One for females and yes, one for males! I have a back shot to show the pretty red bow on the kimono. Katanas were not included in the gift, but the hat was. ^^

Found a New Kimono Shop!

So, this weekend started off Milky's Kimono events! They had a fashion show on Saturday and they opened to sim to have several kimono shops all in one place. I went there last night and was in heaven! Kimono shops everywhere. I even found a new kimono shop I'd never seen, which believe me, is rare. Pop Feel is a shop that has great kimono's for reasonable prices. At the Milky event, they have a shop that has pretty haori coats and kimonos to offer. Even an entire outfit for 1L! You get a kimono, obi, geta, tabi, and even a shape! That's a deal! Here you'll see I'm wearing a Pop Feel Rin Haori all for 370L. It also includes a shape and geta. Amazing! The next picture is of the 1L kimono. Aren't they lovely? Most are photoshoped for effect, I did leave a couple not so you can see the true colors. I will definitely be watching for more from Pop Feel. Join Milky House in celebrating kimonos! See you there!

Together

I love wearing kimono's on SecondLife. It's even more fun to wear them with others. Here a few pics of me wearing kimono's with others of my role play and real family. You may recognize my kimono's. The guys kimonos are most from Milky House. Don't guys just look so handsome in kimono's? :) The top pic, Ame is wearing a miko kimono or priestess kimono and we're dancing geisha-like. The second I have on a GD yukata and my rp son has his kimono from Milky House. The bottom is my fiancee and I. Yes you can ride horses in SL. More on that later though ^^

Enjoy!

First kimono

Ok, when you first go into second life. You are a noob. Your skin is noobish, your hair and your clothes. It's easy to spot noobies in SecondLife to those that have been there awhile. With that said, yes, I was noob and perhaps still a noob to veteran SL avatars. You begin looking for things to improve the way you look. Freebies are the first thing most people use in SL. Luckily, there are some nice designers that have free gifts to those that don't like spending money on the game. I've learned so many things along the way through this virtual place. This kimono was the first kimono I ever spent money on in world. I searched for a place that had the most ornate kimonos. Finally, I came across a kimono shop called Milky House. I thought it was elegant and beautiful and I still do. My fiancee is going to kill me for using these old pics though. Both of us have pretty noobish avatars at the time. *is going to hide from him* I wanted to show you how detailed the obi and dress were. I took some new pics of it today and here are some really old pics of my fiancee and I. Enjoy! *runs and hides*
