MichaMi Style Blog

Dear Readers, I have a very happy announcement to make: the beautiful and stylish Mariya Nesiote has finally started up a blog! Yay!! I know many of you, like myself, loved her postings here at Michami in March 2008 and we have all been waiting patiently since for her to set up a blog. Well, here it is : chignon — make sure to bookmark it!

The wonderful Sasy Scarborough has started a fund raiser for Wheelies, check out her blog for the background, and I just wanted to do my little bit to draw your attention to the cause.

Please drop by Wheelies Club in Showashinzan (34, 90, 301) and donate whatever you can into their charity fountain.

EDIT: Happy April Fool’s Day!

I just had to share this with you guys, a particularly tech-savvy friend of mine (who shall remain un-named) has figured out a way to exploit the avatar attachment points in the new Havok 4 physics engine. With the right manipulations, you can attach more than one item to each attachment point! Do you realise the freedom this will give us fashion lovers! Just to demonstrate, I’ve attached one necklace to the Spine (bottom gold chain), and the other two (black pearls and chunky gold chain) both to Chest!

Yes! I’ve finally shot my first pics in WindLight! I’ve had this enormous mental block against it for the longest time. I started using WindLight only recently (when it was included in the Release Candidate viewer) but I still continued to shoot my pics in the standard viewer as the Snapshot function is different borked in WindLight and because the idea of starting to fiddle with all those extra atmospheric settings was rather daunting. Then, thanks to Gillian’s comments in my last post, I decided to finally give it a go.

It’s time for me to go on little vacation again and I’m so very pleased to have finally managed to get the beautiful and stylish Mariya Nesiote to cover for me while I’m gone.

Mariya is well-known in the Fashion community and she’s a very successful model. She has a gorgeous and original sense of style and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for the blog. Oh, and she’s Swedish! Yay!

A big HUGE THANK YOU to you Mariya, for helping me out!

I’ll be gone for about a week and I should be back to blogging by next weekend.

Ciao, ciao!
