Architecture In Helsinki - Do The Whirlwind (Hot Chip Remix)

I’m Fine Caliber, and my job here at Uncover is keeping you considerate of others while we all pile into the same sim. To do this, I use my ARC as a guide and go for unscripted items or items with removable scripts.

Over the next few posts, I’ll show you how I stay “in the green” without compromising style. The above outfit is around 750 ARC with 32 scripts, 26 of them irremovable in the shoes. If I port into a busy sim, the first to go are my lashes. Those alone will save me 150 ARC.

The outfit below is 640 with a script count of 5. This is my go-to outfit folder. It’s because of the ROT boots: three prims a piece and an option to change the quality of the texture, aiding you in reducing lag for yourself and everybody else.

It’s “do unto others” and all that, but, really, it’s peace of mind in knowing your outfit will rez-in faster than everybody else’s.

Kid Sister - Get Fresh [nsfw]

We were all set to log and go to bed when the latest Ordinary Design flyer dropped on us. Fueled by the newness and vastness of customization possibilities, Damfunk and I ported and purchased immediately.

While Ordinary Design’s shading had dissuaded me from blogging them in the past, this shoe for me is definitely a necessity. They’re closer in design and proportion to Creative Recreatons, so there’s room for them in your inventory alongside your UBU Drunks. Anyway it has perforated leather, so it is an automatic buy.

Nothing profound. Just some good shoes.

Go see what Dam is wearing at his blog, chapeau de viande.

The ice-tart taste of Sprite.

Sprite makes a melonball bounce. What?

1000 Names - Melonball Bounce

Melonball. Oh, honeydew.

Things were kind of tumultuous this past month. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with the holiday season. I changed my skin set and opened up December with a serious shopping spree.

Leaving Takako behind was a big step for me and just as refreshing as a makeover. It came with insecurities: wearing my hair over my face, big accessories to bring the point of focus Southwards. Ended up finding a new favorite hair and necklace.

Keep an eye out for an Ugly Duck skin review coming very soon. Also: how fresh are Shade Throne’s bags? Like… super fresh.

All poses from a fine line., inventory updated as this post makes it to the feed.
