<a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Kaliko103">Kaliko103</a>, who we actually haven't seen around 'SMS in quite a while, nabbed a spot in first place in the NHE category. Her mystical theme and sense of movement in the photo made it stand out from the others, and the care and time she spent on the background made the entire photo just beautiful. Nice work Kali!</div>

Out of nowhere came this incredible entry from a brand new competitor, <a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Clle1P">Clle1P</a> (also known as Celle). She was the first competitor <i>ever </i>to paint every addition from scratch, including the background. By placing the sword in the background instead of her hand and using a rose in its place, Celle added depth of meaning to her photo that really seemed to tell a story. Congrats Celle!</div>

Yep, I finally got my dino butt out of the prehistoric age and obtained a shiny new iPhone 4S!! After all the crappy phones I've had before this, I couldn't be more happy with it. One thing I really love is that I can keep tabs on all my sims stuff now from, well, pretty much anywhere!!</div>

Well, Bleu's been having a blast here at my house since then, and I thought I'd take you along on one of his many adventures!!<br />
<br />
He loves hunting down chipmunks in our backyard. Even though he never catches any, he always ends up with a smile :)<br />

'SMS Set 12: Heated Romance WinnersOnce again, 'SMS ended up with a very diverse group of entries for Set 12. It's really amazing to see all the different things competitors can come up with when given minimal Set requirements!!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/SassyDana">SassyDana </a>took her second win in a row in the NHE category for her awesome hula-themed entry. She did exactly what we look for most in this competition: She paid special attention to detail and took care in every aspect of her photo. Congrats Dana!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/CookieDough987">CookieDough987</a>, a fairly new competitor to 'SMS, took her first ever win in the HE category! She went all out with her clothes drawing, hair drawing, and background creation to present this gorgeous mythical entry. She paid wonderful attention to detail, just like Dana did. Wonderful work Cookie!<br />
<br />
I wanted to take a second to stress just how important attention to detail is in 'SMS. These two competitors really hit home with their entries in terms of detail, and both landed first place. There's a strong connection between winning and adding a lot of detail.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://rexyslair.blogspot.com/2012/05/part-i.html"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>< < Part I</i></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/qYkaV.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/qYkaV.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Rexy felt a sudden pressure on her eyes as a blindfold was hastily tied behind her head. Now, without her sight, all she could do was feel the force of those strong arms controlling her…lifting her up to a standing position and forcing her body forward a few steps. She struggled, digging her heels into the ground, bringing the two to a halt. With a frustrated grunt, the man lifted Rexy up and threw her over one shoulder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/U2cG4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/U2cG4.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Despite Rexy’s protesting screams and kicks, she could feel the man briskly walking and hear the foliage crunching beneath his feet. She realized that no matter what she did, he would succeed in taking her wherever he had planned to.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/ZMfZd.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/ZMfZd.png" /></a></div>
<br />
After what seemed like an eternity, Rexy started to sense that her surroundings were changing. Her vision underneath the blindfold went from pitch black to a very dull glow, indicating that the trees had drastically thinned out. She’d started to hear the calls of birds that she didn’t recognize. They were leaving the rainforest. Never had she been even close to another edge of it.<br />
<br />
The steady rhythm of the man’s crunching footsteps suddenly muffled, as if he were walking in loose dirt or sand. Shortly after, they turned woody and hollow. Several new sounds started to chime in. Rexy could hear the voices of many people mixed in with shuffling, scraping, more footsteps, and the occasional strange metallic noise.<br />
<br />
After a loud creak and a slam, all those noises were silenced other than the man’s footsteps. Suddenly they stopped too. Without any warning, Rexy was thrown. Her shoulder slammed into something hard – it felt like a wall – and she slid down and landed on a soft, lumpy surface. After another creak and slam and the fading footsteps of the man, Rexy was alone in silence.<br />
<br />
She immediately pulled the blindfold from her head and found herself in a cell in a dimly lit corridor, sitting on a small bed. The walls, floors, and ceiling of the corridor were all made from planks of wood that quietly creaked, which she found very strange.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/PO5qj.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/PO5qj.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The terror of Rexy’s situation heightened now that she had her vision back. She was a prisoner. Escape seemed like a slim option until she saw those bars. She pulled her legs close to her chest as tears rolled down her cheeks.<br />
<br />
After a moment, Rexy heard another faint creak and slam, and a couple sets of footsteps coming down the hallway. Two men came into view, one shirtless, covered in tribal tattoos. The other man looked drastically different – he was extravagantly dressed with a very regal air about him.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/Dejkv.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/Dejkv.png" /></a></div>
<br />
“Thass her,” the tattooed man uttered in a somewhat raspy voice. “I found ‘er lurking near the entrance to our artillery cave…no doubt out to rob us clean!”
The well-dressed man’s brow furrowed and he swiftly slapped the tattooed man upside the head.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/ddAlQ.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/ddAlQ.png" /></a></div>
<br />
“What would a pretty lass want with a stock load of melee weapons, guns, and ammo, you fool??” he turned to look at Rexy, and his angry expression changed to a warm, sympathetic smile. “I’m terribly terribly sorry miss; you’ll have to excuse Brug, he’s not the brightest. Are you alright? Did he harm you?”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/JIC1l.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/JIC1l.png" /></a></div>
<br />
“Well,” Rexy said shakily, her voice cracking. She cleared her throat before continuing. “He threw me against this wall and I hit my shoulder…” she massaged the raw, throbbing area.<br />
<br />
“You horse’s ass!!!” Shouted the man, whirling around to glare directly into Brug’s eyes.<br />
<br />
The man forcefully grabbed Brug by the dreadlocks and threw him to the floor. Brug landed with a heavy thud and scooted away, whimpering.<br />
<br />
“Get out. Now.” The man said in a low, stern voice. Brug was to his feet and running before Rexy could even blink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/rz7gk.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/rz7gk.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He turned his attention back to her.</div>
<br />
“I’m horribly sorry miss, I’ll have someone bring you a cool cloth and bandage for that. That dress looks awfully uncomfortable…I’ll see if we can’t find you something a little less taxing to wear.”<br />
<br />
“Wait…” Rexy said, suddenly not as comfortable with the situation as she was before. “Different clothes? Why can’t you just let me tend to my injury and leave??”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/Ypnue.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/Ypnue.png" /></a></div>
<br />
“Well you see miss…” the man said, his warm smile vanishing, “there are many complications that arise from Brug bringing you here…you’ve stumbled upon something you shouldn’t have. We have much to discuss, and as of right now, you must stay here. My apologies. I’ll be back swiftly with your things.”<br />
<br />
With those words, the man turned around and headed back down the hallway. Rexy’s stomach churned and her head was spinning from the strangeness of the situation, and the mysteriousness of that well-dressed man. He’d thrown her off with his kindness, but it turned out she was just as trapped as she had first thought. Now that dreary life at home didn’t seem so bad.

The theme diversity in all the entries for Set 11 really blew me away.<br />
<br />
The search continues for a new second judge for the competition, so once again, if you're interested, please <a href="http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/1695/355191.page#8690529">fill out this application</a> and <a href="mailto:simmersaurusrex@yahoo.com">email it to me</a>.

<br />
Little bit of non-simmie-related content for you today. Some of you may remember <a href="http://rexyslair.blogspot.com/2012/01/rest-in-peace.html">a post from back in January</a> that was a tribute to my 12 year old chocolate lab, Sage, who passed away. It's been pretty rough not having her around, especially since we raised her from a puppy.<br />
<br />
Finally though, our family felt ready to bring another dog into the house. It's been really quiet around here lately, especially since my brother's moved away to Texas and I'm off at college most of the time.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So meet Bleu, my handsome little man!</div>

We picked him up from the shelter about a week ago. When I think about it now, it seems like fate that he came home with us. The first time we went to look at the shelter was the day they brought him in. On top of that, his name really got us - - when we got Sage as a puppy, her name was Blue for the first several weeks because she was the puppy with the blue string around her neck (so they could tell them apart). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bleu's about one year old, and he's a total sweetheart! Not to mention, he still has a lot of that derpy puppy awkwardness. We just love him so far :3</div>Simmersaurus_Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15522667155461809403noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320125036463249727.post-91205140996818417512012-06-07T17:16:00.001-06:002012-06-07T17:16:23.624-06:00At the Top of the Fashion Pyramid - 'SMS Set 10: Strut Winners'SMS is back up and rolling on a regular schedule again, whoop whoop! So this last Set? Set 10? Yeah. I don't think I've ever had a harder time judging a group of entries in all my judging history. The amount of talent exuding from these pictures was totally overwhelming.<br />
<br />
As a result of all the incredible entries, placing will now go up to 5th rather than 3rd, and all entries will receive at least an Honorable Mention and some feedback. Also, on a <b>very important</b> note, I'm seeking an amazing second judge for 'SMS. If you're interested, please <a href="http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/1695/355191.page#8690529">check out the application here</a> and <a href="mailto:simmersaurusrex@yahoo.com">email it to me</a> if you meet the requirements.<br />

<a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Simanims">Simanims</a> came out of nowhere with another one of her awesome sci-fi edits and nabbed first place in the Non-Hair Editing category! Amazingly enough, all the clothes you see here were completely drawn by her, and the whole image was inspired by her original digital painting, which I just had to link to <a href="http://nimsley.deviantart.com/#/d52613w">here</a>!! Other 'SMS competitors should really take note of the impressive creativity Nims has brought to this photo. While editing is a very important aspect of the competition, creativity also makes a huge difference in placement. Congrats, Nims, on your fourth 'SMS win!</div>

<br />
Speaking of coming out of nowhere, we saw a reappearance by one insanely talented competitor this round, <a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/generalflame">generalflame</a>! If you want a prime example of completely transforming a screenshot, look no further than flame's incredible Rococo portrait above. Every little piece of this edit is well-tended, from the curly blond updo to the lovely wrinkles and ribs on the dress. It was a daring move to take on a historical theme, but no doubt, flame has pulled it off.<br />

<br />
I finally, <i>finally </i>came across the perfect sims hair. As a lot of you probably know, I've been on the <a href="http://rexyslair.blogspot.com/2011/03/facepalm.html">hunt for a decent scene-ish hair</a> for quite some time now. I say "scene-ish" because I haven't been looking for that full-blown, teased-to-all-hell look, but rather a more refined version with the sweeping bangs and shorter layers. Now don't get me wrong, <a href="http://mysims3blog.blogspot.com/2011/05/newsea-holic-female-hairstyle.html">Newsea's Holic hair</a> is nice, but still just a little too much for my taste.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, here it is, simmies, <a href="http://lapizrazuli.blogspot.com/2011/11/hair-mesh-6-sand-unisex-do-not-convert.html">my perfect hair</a>:</div>

Apparently someone converted it to Sims 2 without the permission of the creator, Lapiz Lazuli. As a result, Lapiz took the download down and is only sharing it with friends. I am a saaaadd dino :C Wish I could have gotten my hands on it before it was taken down.</div>

Has anyone else seen this hair, or happen to download it while it was up? Is there an alternate download link possibly? If any of you guys could help me out with this one I'd be so grateful. I just think it's sad that a single bad move on one person's part can so easily ruin something great for everyone else.</div>

<a href="http://i.imgur.com/EWYQZ.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/EWYQZ.png" /></a></div>
<br />
The faint clanging of swords could be heard as Rexy neared the front courtyard of the Flintlock Manor. As the grouping of trees next to the path cleared, she could make out the form of Vincent Flintlock himself, overseeing four of his mates as they sparred. Every now and then, he would snap at one of them for their sub-par technique. Boldly, Rexy approached the group and cleared her throat to get Vincent’s attention. He turned to face her and an arrogant smile flashed across his face.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/APIMl.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/APIMl.png" /></a></div>
<br />
“Ah, Miss Simmersaurus, what brings you here today? Did you come for the show? You can join the other maidens by the fountain if you’d like,” he said, gesturing across the courtyard to where two other ladies lounged, shaded from the sun by parasols.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/TbxE8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/TbxE8.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Rexy shook her head.
“Uhm, actually Vincent, I was hoping that maybe you’d…teach me too.”<br />
<br />
The four men, previously immersed in their practice, stopped immediately to stare back at her. After a moment of silence, all of them, including Vincent, burst out laughing.<br />
<br />
“You’re…you can’t be serious…ahahahaha!” Vincent managed to spit out through gasping breaths. “A woman…practicing swordplay?!? That’s the best joke I’ve heard all day!!”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/CDIZB.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/CDIZB.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Absolutely furious, Rexy threw her hat to the ground and stormed off, leaving the laughing group of swordsman behind. Rather than heading home, she turned the opposite direction and started along the path that led to the rainforest. She had no desire to return to her house right now and be told to do things she didn’t want to do. Needlepoint, piano, dining etiquette…it wasn’t in her interest to refine any of those skills. She’d always craved adventure – something much more than the destined-to-be-boring life of a lady.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/GJSqU.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/GJSqU.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Tears welled in her eyes, remembering the ridiculing swordsmen, as she neared the entrance to the forest. Rexy had always found a haven inside - it was a place where she didn’t have to uphold a proper façade. As she walked, the feeling of just how different she was washed over her, bringing more vision-clouding tears. She’d never really fit in with anyone growing up. The boys had never allowed her to participate in any of their rowdy activities, and the girls had always shunned her for her lack of interest in lady-like things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/7EgTi.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/7EgTi.png" /></a></div>
<br />
After tromping through the tropical forest for quite some time, Rexy decided to stop and rest for a moment. As she took a seat on a large, mossy boulder, a sudden and terrifying realization washed over her.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/VzcDo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/VzcDo.png" /></a></div>
<br />
She didn’t recognize this boulder. She didn’t recognize any of her surroundings, as a matter of fact. Rexy had always been very careful to take the path she knew when she took walks in the forest, but in her highly emotional state she must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Suddenly, before she could even take a second to figure out what to do, a large pair of arms lashed out from behind her and locked her in a tight grip. One hand closed over her mouth, stifling the scream she hadn’t even begun to let out. With great force, Rexy felt herself being pulled backward into the dense foliage.</div>

<br />
So last week I posted one of my digital art projects from this past semester that featured my eye with a mechanical aperture slowly opening. My final art project also has to do with apertures...but more specifically, Aperture Laboratories from the Portal games!<br />
<br />
I went to an antique store with my camera and took photos of a bunch of different old-school objects. Then I chose three: an iron, a kerosene stove, and a briefcase typewriter, and Photoshopped them so half looks futuristic and Portal-esque.<br />
<br />

The numbers are all personally significant: 81 is my favorite number, 07-01 (July 1st) is my birthday, and for those of you who are <i>Back to the Future </i>fans, you might recognize the last number - 1.21 gigawatts!!

This is the first time I've ever heavily edited real-life photos, and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with how they came out!

We had a fairly low turnout for this round - only six entries total. Despite how few entries there were, there definitely was no lack of talent and awesomeness.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A newcomer to the competition, <a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/KymB96">KymB96</a>, took first place for her entry in the Non-Hair Editing Category. She paid amazing attention to detail by adding in subtle things like the dirt on Lynx and Ailios's feet and knees, and the mascara running down Lynx's cheeks. Her story was mysterious, gripping my attention. Congrats Kym, hope to see you participating again!</div>

With the results of this Set, <a href="http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Simanims">Simanims</a> has become the first competitor in 'SMS history to win three rounds!! She got a little special recognition for that with the golden (3). I think I'll be adding this as a new feature to the competition for anyone who wins more than one set. Nims's photo was so striking and well-done; I'm still competely blown away by it. Everything flows together perfectly from the beautiful combination of the white eyes, black hair, and pale green skin to the impressive clothing that I still can't figure out. Great job Simanims!</div>

I felt like it was time for a complete overhaul since my Lair has looked basically the same since the beginning.<br />
<br />
So I hope you guys enjoy my revamped sci-fi-futuristic-ancient Roman-Arab-Assassin's Creed Lair, complete with a brand new banner (which I titled "Infil<i>traitor</i>"), uniform buttons in the right panel, and shmexy new color scheme!Simmersaurus_Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15522667155461809403noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320125036463249727.post-4121857567989058402012-05-16T17:18:00.001-06:002012-05-16T17:20:46.305-06:00Some General Updates and My Digital Art!!Hey Simmies!<br />
<br />
It's been quite a while since I've posted, but now that my fourth college semester is out of the way and I'm all moved in back home, I have plenty of free time to get things for myself in the sim world chugging along again!!<br />
<br />
First of all, I'm assuming people are wondering what's going on with 'SMS, since it's kinda rolled to a halt as of right now. The most recent Set just got so little interest that I'm only going to continue on with the competition if people start showing enthusiasm in participating again (obviously I'll be posting something similar on the thread).<br />
<br />
As for the other simming-related things I'm planning for this summer, I'm going to be shifting gears away from modeling for a little bit. I just need to do something different for a little while, and I feel like the modeling community has been dwindling a little bit lately. However, I'm going to keep my plans under wraps for now, and surprise you simmies as I get them done :D<br />
<br />
Last but not least, I wanted to show you guys one of my latest digital pieces. I actually got to do some digital art for the last half of my studio class this past semester!! So here's my eye, with a mechanical aperture slowly opening with each picture.
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you guys like this one enough, I'll post the three photos I did for my final project, which I'm suuuper proud of! They're slightly Portal-themed too, if that piques your interest ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well anyway, I just wanted to give you guys a quick update to let you know that yes, I'm still here, and YES, I have some big things planned for this summer!!</div>

Then I had it:</div><div><br /></div><div>What if I kept a sort of "journal" of my steps through making an entry, all the way from the very start to the finish??</div><div><br /></div><div>...So that's what I did, simmies! Without further ado, I give you my Journal for Inspiration Cycle 2, assignment 2 :D</div><div><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">March 17th</span></b></div><div><br />- <a href="http://www.wix.com/eviesims3/inspirationcycle2#!__assignment">Assignment posted</a>. Listened to song and was instantly inspired after the first few seconds. Snow will have wings and will only be seen from the back, arms spread as she slowly leans to fall off of a cliff. The vast landscape will stretch out before her. I began my search for wings and appropriate poses. Searched “wings” on MS3B and found the <a href="http://siukay522.pixnet.net/blog/post/86419446">pair I want to use</a>. No luck with poses yet.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/36sw.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 590px; height: 425px;" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/36sw.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">March 18th</span></b></div><div><br />- Search for poses continues. I’ve just been going through the “custom poses” pages on MS3B. Finally, quite a ways back, I found the perfect pose in a <a href="http://keene.pixnet.net/blog/post/33521888">nature set by Keene</a> with arms spread. It’s meant to be a balancing pose but I think I can make it work. The next step is going to be finding clothing that’s interesting from the back.<br /><br /><a href="http://i44.tinypic.com/ng99gx.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/ng99gx.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">March 20th</span></b><br /><br />- Started my clothing search on MS3B. Found a bunch of great stuff from <a href="http://lorandiasims3.com/">LorandiaSims3</a>. I thought I found the perfect outfit, a <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-clothing-female/title/warrior-princess-dress-/id/1114680/">“warrior princess” outfit by altea127</a> on TSR, but then decided against it because of the gloves (and also because it was used by another competitor). Will hopefully start my picture tomorrow.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i40.tinypic.com/20gbd4h.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 508px;" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/20gbd4h.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i40.tinypic.com/33p97as.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/33p97as.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><b><br /></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">March 21st</span></b></div><div><br />- Getting ready to go in game to start setting up my photo. I ended up downloading quite a few sets of wings since I’m not sure which direction I want to take it yet. I’m conflicted…I’m not sure which flying creature I want snow to resemble yet. I’ve thought about dragons, eagles/other birds, or angels.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i39.tinypic.com/2qu4uix.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 591px; height: 333px;" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/2qu4uix.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- Went in game and took Snow into CAS. I tried out the new tank tops and leggings I downloaded. I finally decided on the stitched leather leggings I got from Lorandia, and a shirt that I’d actually already had because I liked the way it looked from the back best. I left the wings off for the time being since I wanted to take a separate screenshot and Photoshop them in later, just in case I needed to adjust the size, opacity, or color.</div><div><br />- After I was happy with the color of the outfit, I moved Snow onto an empty lot. I use I tiny, empty island I named “EditSim Isle” when I’m just taking screenshots of sims. I made it back when I had CAW and it loads really quickly so I can save some time.</div><div><br />- Built one big room, made the walls and floors black, added some light, and put Snow into the pose by Keene I found. I immediately noticed I didn’t like the way her torso leaned to one side, and decided I’d fix it in Photoshop later.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i39.tinypic.com/t5gh9x.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 590px; height: 367px;" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/t5gh9x.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- Did something a little different for my next step: Snow went on vacation to Shang Simla so I could get a decent landscape screenshot. Did you know when using the tabbed camera and holding “E,” you can make the camera go up really, really, really high? I didn’t until I came to take this screenshot!</div><div><br />- After flipping the entire camera with Shift + A (I wanted a long picture rather than a wide, panoramic one), I took my screenshot, making sure that no buildings would be visible in the final picture.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i41.tinypic.com/97l7ao.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 590px; height: 367px;" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/97l7ao.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- Next, I took a screenshot with a rock spanning the bottom. I’m going to cut it out and place it at the bottom of the landscape screenshot I just took. This is my cliff edge.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/apd6b9.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 590px; height: 367px;" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/apd6b9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- I was really excited to start my picture, so I switched back to my Mac OSX side. I started by flipping my landscape screenshot upright, cutting out the rock, and placing it at the bottom. Then I added a gradient to the mountains in the back to make them look very hazed in the distance. Good, I’ve got my background. Pretty simple.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i39.tinypic.com/wvobp3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 482px;" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/wvobp3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- Then I cut out Snow from her black background. I use a new technique where I carefully go around her figure with the pen tool, select the area, and then cut her from the layer. It leaves amazingly crisp, smooth lines.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i44.tinypic.com/6gwhl5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 431px;" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/6gwhl5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- I then realized I’d forgotten to pick my wings and take a screenshot to use. I decided I’d just keep working and maybe go back and get them later.</div><div><br />- Placed Snow on the background, resized her so she was much smaller, and worked on fixing her leaning torso. I also got rid the strap on the back of her neck from the shirt.</div><div><br />- I decided to see what I could do with her clothing, so I selected it with the pen tool and copied them to a new layer. After playing around a little, I was able to give it the appearance of being silky and shiny. Much better than the original in my opinion.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i41.tinypic.com/168vk0i.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 299px;" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/168vk0i.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- Since it’s such a hassle to shut down my Mac and reboot it into Windows and then load my game, I decided to see what I could find for wings with Google. Ended up finding some really <a href="http://markopolio-stock.deviantart.com/art/Wings-Angel-6-48739873">amazing stock wings</a>.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i40.tinypic.com/2eyxkkl.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 478px;" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/2eyxkkl.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- I heavily altered the wings by changing their dimensions, color, curves, and opacity. It actually took a couple layers to get their final appearance.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i44.tinypic.com/11ih9iv.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 362px;" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/11ih9iv.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />- Next, I moved on to Snow’s hair. I wanted a very pale blue, so I found a shade I liked and then started making the basic shape with the “fill” option with the pen tool. Then I added smaller pieces and some flyaway strands with the “stroke” option.</div><div><br />- Went on to add some strands, still using the pen tool, in white and a darker shade of blue. Then I went in and added shading and highlighting.</div><div><br />- Just working on refining details now: Added some cracks to the cliff edge and shading at Snow’s feet, and added some birds to the empty sky to add some interest. Something about the arms is kinda bugging me, but it’s late so I’ll come back to it in the next couple days.<br /><br /><a href="http://i43.tinypic.com/21946lv.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 723px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/21946lv.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">March 22nd</span></b></div><div><br />- Woke up and took a look at my picture today, and I think I’m going to leave the arms as is and call my picture complete.

However, things are <i>finally </i>starting to ease up for the Rexeh, and I've made a new sim and entered her in Inspiration Cycle 2!!</div><div><br /></div><div>I actually didn't think I'd get the opportunity to participate in Inspiration again after I had to drop out of the first Cycle, but timing worked out perfectly where I now have Photoshop and a working sims game on my Mac, so I entered ASAP!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://i44.tinypic.com/sm8rki.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 444px;" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/sm8rki.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i40.tinypic.com/jfum9x.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 518px;" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/jfum9x.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div>This is my newest (and possibly new favorite) simmie, Snow Rae Shyvira. I'm not usually too enthusiastic about actual gameplay in TS3, but the backstory I've set up with snow makes me reeaaalllyyy want to start a game with her!</div><div><br /></div><div>She comes from a tiny village high up in the mountains, far from modern civilization. The people there consider themselves a tribe and live off the land. Snow often wanders out into the alpine forests surrounding her village just to absorb herself in nature. Her traits are pretty characteristic of her lifestyle: She Loves the Outdoors, is a Loner, an Angler, and a Technophobe, and has a Green Thumb. I just love her to pieces!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="http://i44.tinypic.com/34fmsma.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 399px;" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/34fmsma.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>This is my photo for Assignment 1, my first simmie edit in several months (click it for full size). I definitely wasn't shy about it! This may be the most editing I've done on a single sim ever. I'm pretty pleased with how well my final picture matches the vision I had of it in my head.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm so so glad to be actively contributing to the TS3 modeling community again; I've really missed it and all the people in it!!</div>Simmersaurus_Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15522667155461809403noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320125036463249727.post-45122993940257920402012-02-28T21:51:00.006-07:002012-02-28T22:23:45.533-07:00Brrrr!

I'd been searching forever for decent clothing from Portal 2, specifically the main character Chell's tanktop. When my search led me to nothing, I decided to make it myself, and now I'm sharing it with you guys! Download is at the bottom of the page, and includes both the Portal 2 version and a plain tanktop version, both recolorable. The Portal 2 version includes a separate channel for the wristband.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i44.tinypic.com/kebwr8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 512px; height: 256px;" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/kebwr8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i43.tinypic.com/2v1alo8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 650px; height: 433px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2v1alo8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i41.tinypic.com/ixa2pv.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 512px; height: 256px;" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/ixa2pv.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i42.tinypic.com/50445c.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 650px; height: 501px;" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/50445c.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i43.tinypic.com/2cfqptt.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 490px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2cfqptt.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i43.tinypic.com/dqkqxg.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 497px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/dqkqxg.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?8josgs9m7gcd88x"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >DOWNLOAD</span></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=397337">Aperture Science Posters</a> by <a href="http://linna.modthesims.info/member.php?u=915598">Lechugo</a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://azarasasylum.blogspot.com/2011/05/portal-set-1-by-ar-and-stbu.html">Companion and Storage Cubes</a> by <a href="http://azarasasylum.blogspot.com/">AzaraRumhora & STBU</a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Models Lotus Darkwind and Lynx Rezanov by me<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Tanktop design is credited to the Valve Corporation and affiliated owners.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Use in videos and pictures is permitted, but I would prefer credit and, if possible, a link back.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Please do not alter or redistribute my work without permission.</span><br /></div></div><br /><br /></div>Simmersaurus_Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15522667155461809403noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320125036463249727.post-74121179817182690362012-01-07T19:19:00.000-07:002012-01-07T19:23:54.515-07:00Big Updates<div style="text-align: left;">Hey simmies,</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I have an exciting update for you coming tomorrow...keep your eyes open for it! ;)</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">- Rexers</div>Simmersaurus_Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15522667155461809403noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320125036463249727.post-44055273304648986912012-01-04T19:45:00.000-07:002012-01-07T19:16:30.406-07:00Rest In Peace...Hey guys,<div><br /></div><div>Yesterday was a pretty rough day for me. I woke up in the morning to find that my dog, Sage, wasn't doing too well. We took her to the vet and found out that she had internal bleeding caused by a tumor on either her liver or her spleen. The vet brought up the idea of surgery, but since she was already 12 years old and probably wouldn't handle that very well, we decided to put her down.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sage has been with our family since she was a tiny puppy. She was the best dog in the whole world and I'm going to miss her so much.</div><div><br /></div><div>Luckily, she had one last shebang on Christmas. She loved helping the family open all of our presents, and played in the torn up wrapping paper afterwards. </div><div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i43.tinypic.com/34nlcig.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 600px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/34nlcig.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love you Sage, and I miss you with all my heart. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#ffffff;">♥</span></div>Simmersaurus_Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15522667155461809403noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320125036463249727.post-34603691107765850842011-12-30T15:06:00.000-07:002011-12-30T15:26:37.385-07:00Winners Revealed for 'SMS Set 7: Maria!!!Set 7: Maria was the first open edit that 'Shop Me Stunning has had in quite some time (the last one was the very first Set). All of the entrants showed great amounts of creativity, but here are those who ended up at the front of the pack!<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Congratulations <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/LadyEmillye">LadyEmillye</a> and <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Simanims">Simanims</a>, our first placers!!</div><br /><br /><a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/2uzc8ig.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2uzc8ig.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>The striking, standout appearance of LadyEmillye's entry is what helped to land her first place in the Non-Hair Editing category. Her photo sets up a whole story just in itself, without needing any extra description. She did a wonderful job altering Maria's original dress and editing in her horse.

She utilized the idea of motion beautifully by making Maria's hair and dress windblown. She has the ability to drastically change the appearance of a screenshot, and in this case, it landed her first place in the Hair Editing category.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And here are our other Set 7 placers!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">- Non-Hair Editing -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2nd Place (TIE): <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/lmcarrotcake">lmcarrotcake</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2nd Place (TIE): <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/ixSydney">ixSydney</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3rd Place: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/TheMeeepMoop">TheMeeepMoop</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Honorable Mentions:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Simanims">Simanims</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Starling68">Starling68</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/deepdown">deepdown</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Simpixie2255">Simpixie2255</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">- Hair Editing -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2nd Place: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Kitteh1324">Kitteh1324</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3rd Place: <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/08404407701746846059">Hanechon</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Honorable Mention:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/terri222009">terri222009</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/355191.page">Set 8: It's Chilly!</a> Is now up on the 'SMS front page!

I know it's been a long time in between the deadline and the actual results, but that didn't make the pictures any less awesome.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">A big congrats to two first-time winners, <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/ixsydney">ixSydney</a> and <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/generalflame">generalflame</a>!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/20qurb.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 639px; height: 437px;" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/20qurb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://i43.tinypic.com/9zy7mw.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 502px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/9zy7mw.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>ixSydney's hard work and great attention to detail really helped her mystical entry stand out from the crowd! There's not a single part of her picture that feels empty or underdone. Subtle additions such as the light globs around the staff and the menacing eyes in the window help to take the viewer into this fantasy world that she's created. Not to mention, her story is gripping and really leaves you wanting to know how it ends.<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://i39.tinypic.com/1q2wrd.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 621px;" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/1q2wrd.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://i43.tinypic.com/25zl7ki.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 502px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/25zl7ki.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div>Generalflame is an incredibly talented editor who has popped up in the Sims Modeling Community pretty much out of nowhere. Her entry caused quite the stir with its precise clothes drawing, realistic hair, and beautiful lighting. Right down to the glowing edges of Lucia's hair, this entry is pure magic. The story to accompany it sets up a solid background, and leaves the extra details up to the readers' interpretation.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And how can we forget the other wonderful editors who placed in Set 6?<br /><br />- Non-Hair Editing -<br /><br />2nd Place: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/ladybug65">ladybug65</a><br /><br />3rd Place: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Mystical_night">Mystical_night<br /></a><br />Honorable Mention: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/deepdown">deepdown</a><br /><br />Honorable Mention: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/CUTEPEACH">CUTEPEACH</a><br /><br />- Hair Editing -<br /><br />2nd Place: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/ilovesims56">ilovesims56<br /></a><br />3rd Place: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/glambunny8189">GlamBunny8189</a><br /><br />Honorable Mention: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/strawberrycayke">StrawberryCayke</a><br /><br />Honorable Mention: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/penskii">penskii<br /></a><br />Honorable Mention: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Simanims">Simanims</a><br /><br />Honorable Mention: <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/themeeepmoop">TheMeeepMoop</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/355191.page">Set 7: Maria</a> is now up on the 'Shop Me Stunning front page!
