Hi guys! I’m working on a new site project for Second Life residents. If you’re interested, visit RUTHED.COM and read all about it.

What I think
Download the Second Life 2.0 Beta Viewer here
I am test driving the new interface & new layers!! After how many years of griping about not having an extra tattoo layers to wear over our skin/clothes, Linden Lab has finally created one. There’s also an ALPHA layer!! Oh, and my dear little fashionista heart is so happy there’s a WEARING tab that lists everything I’m wearing. This will making doing outfit credits SO much easier! I LOVE YOU LINDEN LAB.
This viewer will take some time to get used to, but it’s better to start getting used to it now, before they roll out the official version. I like what I’m seeing so far! <3
I made a ‘viva la juicy’ tattoo to test out the layer. It works awesome!! If only I could make better tattoos, lol!
In addition to tattoos, creative residents can also try adding stuff to their skins like beauty marks, extra makeup, etc. I think this will be AMAZING, I can’t wait to see what designers come up with!

1. This is the CherryGirl CamicTunic (in Pink) that I purchased on February 12th, 2010. When I wore it, I noticed right away that the skirt prim did not match the shirt texture at all. At first glance, I thought it might have been tinted “gray” so I sent the creator, kumichan Koba, an IM in-world asking her to un-tint the skirt.
2. Kumichan sent me an updated skirt, but she made it FULL-BRIGHT, which actually looks worst than how it was originally. The skirt still doesn’t match the top texture.
At this point, I thought that maybe her texture was the problem, or that she’s not understanding my concern. I’ve sent her pictures and even asked my friend to translate my note card into Japanese for me. I felt kind of annoyed/defeated when I didn’t get a response after waiting for nearly two weeks.
Today I went to find the CamiTunic to delete it from my inventory when I found another one just like it.. but in White!
3. This is the CamiTunic in White that I had purchased back in May 25th, 2009. The skirt didn’t match at all, but it was MOD, so I looked in the properties and discovered that the prims were not tinted gray at all, but it was set to LOW SHINE.
You guys know I think Full-Bright is the devil right? Well, shine is it’s cousin! EWW.
So then I adjusted the shininess to none and voila!
4. A perfectly matching CamiTunic dress.
But seriously, why was the Pink version NO MOD, and why didn’t the creator replace mine with a no-shine version. LANGUAGE BARRIERS MAKES ME SAD! I didn’t know that it was set to ’shine’, I had assumed that it was tinted gray like MOST prims before Windlight.
Anyways.. if someone can speak Japanese, can you ask Kumichan to send me a new skirt, thanks! :)
I might delete the Pink CamiTunic soon if I don’t get a replacement I can use.

Left: 26 size boobs | Right: 60 size boobs
“As much as I enjoy making fun of the size of my own chest, I find that the humor in that phrase in poor taste. My breasts are size 26 and I’m certain that I’m not the only one with breasts that size or smaller.” – blog reader comment
A reader left the comment above and so I decided to try size 26 on Gogo, just to see if it’s as “FLAT” as I thought. When you’re looking from the front view (like the picture above), thanks to the magic of cleavage shading it doesn’t look so bad. I thought to myself that it was kind of nice, I might even enjoy wearing boobs that small until……
I turned to the side. This side view is not flattering. WHERE ARE MY BOOBS? That’s my reason for making the comment about how only guys should wear size 20 boobs. It’s not meant as an insult, it just looks “OFF” unless you’re a) a very small avatar b) a man 3) a kid avatar. :P
In a virtual world where we can go as big or as small as we want, I’m going to indulge in having size 60 boobs, even though, really, I would not mind 80 LOL. Maybe next time.. :P

I have many friends who choose to play an avatar that’s the opposite of their gender IRL. However, NONE of them carry out romantic relationships without informing their SL partner first, of their RL gender. I think that’s the best way to be, even if your partner is infatuated with your SL pixels, they deserve to know. Let them decide if they want to carry on the relationship, don’t decide for them. Truth is best, don’t you think?

I don’t like to give feedback unless it’s to very close friends who I know won’t take offense when I say, “What’s up with your skin tone? Why is it orange? Uhh your lips are uneven. I hate the brows… bla bla bla.”
I’m BRUTAL.
A lot of people ask me for feedback on new skins but I find it very hard to give honest feedback (like I said, I only reserve those for very close friends), because I don’t want to be the “mean critical one.” I’ve had instances in the past where people have said, “hey Gogo! Why are you such a bitch! You can’t even make skins, what gives you the right to tear people dowwwwwwwnn!” Well, they asked for it. And even if they didn’t, it’s for sale. I’m a customer, I can comment.
I find that honest feedback is very very hard to give. Many people think they’re giving honest feedback when they’re just holding back.
I hold back.
Unless I’ve known you for awhile and I know that you really want to improve (sell more).
I cringe whenever I see people saying “aww it’s gorgeous! I love it! SO SO HOT” when the item is obviously not? I know that my preference for something may not always be everyone’s preference, but generally MOST people can agree on what is fug, and what is not.
If you love your friends, give honest feedback.

Gee, Emerald Wynn. Thank you for linking to my Team Lizzie blog entry on your little rant. You bring forth all these accusations that Lizzie supposedly did, but you’ve posted no proof to back up your libelous statements.
It was a nice idea for a friend, there is no “other team”, let it go.
I’m just so sick of people writing about some big evil thing she supposedly did, and making digs at her on my plurk timeline. Yep Lizzie was my friend, but so are all of you. I’m not asking people to get along, but don’t ‘hate’ on someone just because ‘everybody else’ does. Look at your own interactions with them, and judge for yourself.
Lizzie was always nice to me, and when I needed help with iheartsl bloggers group she volunteered (and did a fantastic job). I don’t know all the “DETAILS” and I don’t care. If she has personally wronged you, then by all means jump on the hate bandwagon but if she hasn’t, why the fuck do you care? You know what I’m talking about. Let it go.

I told Khea this morning that I am changing all the palm trees on Juicy sim to new palms from Heart Garden.
She said… I hate palm trees! They’re so kitschy and tacky! This is why I would never go to Bali (this is the Aussie equivalent of Hawaii).
So I said, whatever, don’t hate! LOL
5 hours later.. I get an offline:
Khea: omg the palms look sooooo good
Khea: I cant believe it
Kheas: lol
Khea: they are nice
I TOLD YOU SO!
So I wrote a response back: OH, what ever happened to TACKY? TACKY PALMS!! haha you changed your tune :P I will go plant you some!
There you go guys. I have converted another palm-hater into a future palm lover. Look for palm trees on MALT sim soon (maybe! lol).

I spent hours today moving my site to its own hosting account, cos I’m so fed up with it crashing whenever iheartsl is overloaded. So, here’s to the rest of 2010 and my site not crashing. YAY!
And also, I am paying a ton of money to host iheartsl and juicybomb, so if you love the blog(s), please consider buying an advertisement.

I’ll admit it, I love to tweak my avatar. I like tweaking my friends too, if they’ll let me tweak their shape (and sometimes without their permission too, like that one time I gave Wilma bigger and perkier boobs. And a few times after that, I tweaked other stuff but she noticed and yelled at me).
Over the past 3 years, I have made subtle but noticeable changes to my shape, to go with the skins I’m wearing or just to get bigger in size. My waist use to be a scary 35! I wouldn’t wear a shape that small now, but I liked it then.
This past week after reading all the gossip about Heidi Montag’s new face, I really think that the appeal of SL for many is the ability to have our sliders exactly how we want it. If you wanted more boobs, more height, more pouty lips, it’s just a click away.
Thankfully in SL, we can tweak as much as we want an it doesn’t cost a dime or possible complications. So happy tweaking!
What about you, do you like to tweak your face or has it remain unchanged over the years?
P.S., I’m keeping my ‘before’ face, but I like the ‘after’ too!
* This post is inspired by Heidi Montag’s new face.
