New Sayla and Ayumi Skins @ Issigonis
I’m lifting these pictures off the Second Life Official forums, to spare everyone of seeing my face stamped with demos all over ;P Issigonis released new versions of their skins and they’re HOT!!!!!!!!!!!! The Sayla medium skin tone has one of the most perfect glossy, heart-shaped lips I have ever seen. It’s cute.. and only 4800L for all SIXTEEN skins!!! Whoa.. <3
Visit the Issigonis official website for more info.
My friend Sparkle is all about that brunette Gogo look, and I totally get it! Personally, I’m a fan of both blonde and brunette hair colors. I even play around with blue and pink sometimes—my style’s all over the place, but I love it! Each hair color definitely brings out a different vibe.
A couple of days ago, I discovered the most amazing denim jacket in Second Life. I came across the Nothing Jacket from Coco Louis and knew I had to add it to my wardrobe. The best part? It’s generously roomy, which makes it perfect for layering with other mesh items underneath. Seriously, you have to try it out!
I found the jacket at the Belleza event, although it looks like that event has wrapped up now. The tricky part will be finding the right shade of denim pants that fit this jacket perfectly. I’ve dug through my inventory and come close with a few pairs. I can’t wait to put together a whole outfit!

iheartsl.com syndicates a lot of sl blogs, 806 to be exact! I’ve noticed that when the site is syndicating this many blogs, it will experience occasional server hiccups (blogs not updating, database errors, etc.), so I’ve recently added a policy to remove blogs that have not updated for 60 days or more. This has reduced the number of inactive blogs quite a bit — but it’s totally screwing up my “syndicated blogs” count.
When I checked in the site dashboard, the total is 1,161, which is NOT an accurate number. I think that number reflects the numbers of blogs (links) that has *ever* been syndicated. A more accurate number is 806 — which is reflected on the blogroll. I copy & pasted my entire blogroll links into Excel to count ’em.
With that said, I think that iheartsl.com is the “largest” community blog feed, simply because it’s syndicating the most.
Fashionplanet, which has been around forever, is only syndicating 583 blogs (I counted!) but a lot of people still read it out of habit.
Iheartsl.com has just passed the 2 year mark (in January) and it’s still going strong. I’ve had a lot of issues with it, but I’m really happy that I have my server problems under control now (for the most part).
Thank you for ALL of your patience for the past 2 years, and for being so supportive.
✿ cheLLe ✿ Glamour Puss includes six vibrant tattoo eyeshadows that can be worn over any skin. This package also includes bonus Black eyeshadow & a pair of Glamour Puss brows.
The brows do not need to be worn for these shadows to work, but they are recommended if you want to minimize creasing and show off the eyeshadows more smoothly.
✿ cheLLe ✿ Leopard Spots is now out at the main store! Thank you to everyone who went to the memorial site for Cliff, the event has now ended.
Purchase these packs online or at cheLLe mainstore on Juicy.

The person responsible for the mural in this painting is MALT, an artist from Detroit who does beautiful paintings around town and abroad. I recognized this picture because the irl version is located at an art park not far from me (scroll down to the last picture), and his style is recognizable just about anywhere.
I am not the first Detroiter to be active in the grid. Detroit Techno Militia was here once too. I’ve seen Niagara‘s work for sale at Tart Gallery, I’ve seen tons of great art in galleries that said they were used with permission, but I always had a funny feeling about it. Something was always off.
So when I recognize a fellow painter’s work in the game, especially if they’re a local artist, I contact the artist to let them know what’s going on. Sometimes they have actually given permission to have their work for sale or used in the grid, but many times they don’t even know their work is being used at all.
This practice is especially troubling when it comes to to hi-res photos like the one in the picture. I can tell it’s of a good quality. Whoever uploaded the texture either took a picture of this themselves, or ripped off a hi-resolution photo of the mural.
Many people still don’t understand this rule about art in Second Life, so let’s be clear:
YOU CAN’T UPLOAD ART/TEXTURES TO THE GRID WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE PERMISSION TO.
The sim this belongs to is filled with art that is both corporate (I saw an ad for Levi’s on the other side of the wall in the photo), and from other art that is so varied, it couldn’t possibly be all sourced with permission. I won’t link to them because it would encourage visits or possibly even hate–but I have contacted the muralist to tell him where his art is being used.
It’s not snitching, it’s what happens when other artists are tired of seeing work abused in Second Life and want it to stop. The grid should be a place to foster creativity and inspire others, not to deposit work you’ve taken from others.
It’s been storming a lot where I live, so I’ve decided to be extra cheerful in SL. I love reading looking at Japanese fashion magazines cos they’re so colorful. I’ve decided to make a look that’s somewhat similar to what you’d find in a JP fashion mag! I’ve noticed that a lot of the models have Caramel Honey Gold hair color, so I’m giving it a try in SL.
A couple of you guys said you liked the hair color change (from my usual ultra light Blonde), so I’ll try it out for awhile.
kOwP Piercings – Closer | Paranoid | Seclusion
Thanks to Marketplace, I have found a way to spend money even when I’m not logged in! I bought these three adorable piercings, even though I don’t normally wear them in SL. I didn’t have any free attachment points before but now that we have multiple attachments, I may start wearing some more frequently. I still don’t think I could pull it off convincingly cos Gogo has more of a casual girl-next-door style.
I love this Green Laine Cardigan from Naith Smit Design. It’s so easy to wear, and pairs perfectly with the Pink Bonnie Top, also from NSD.
What I’m Wearing:
kOwP Piercings – Closer | Paranoid | Seclusion
Love Soul – Tote Bag *Logo* Pink
LeLutka – Biel hair (Sookie)
LeLutka – Gem/Golden/Makeup4/L Brows
Mozz – Aegyo – Teeth – Light skintones (love this!)
Mon Tissu – Denim 1929 Cigarette – Faded
G-Field – Flower Pumps “Eve” Black
NSD – Bonnie Top (Pink)
NSD – Laine Cardigan (Green)
I love Ayumi, but being Japanese I have black eyes brows not brown. It’s too bad they weren’t black, cause that skins is SO perfect otherwise but looks odd with the eyebrow color. Rather have black eyebrow options over freckles which I’d pass on every time.
Good post too Gogolita blogger!
hi Jess! I think those brows are lovely the way they are, but you could try asking the creator to tint the brows for you? 😛
Can’t seem to get in contact with them. trust me i have black hair and I don’t have brown eyebrows. I have quite a lot of friends with black hair and black eyebrows (I am from Japan.) The brown immediately stands out. The skin is great though and the actual drawn/shape aspect of them is excellent. I’d buy it if it was the right color. Maybe they will do something, as I see they update their skins often. AWWW there’s always SOMETHING not right about most skins in SL. It’s the balance. In order for something to be allowed to be good, they got to throw in something bad heh. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
you can tint your eyebrows black in appearances, it should override the skin unless they have done something odd, try wearing black brows with the demo.
Eyebrows are part of the bald base you wear not just shape but also colour and depending on the way the skin is done it may be possible and worth a try
xoxo Sasy xoxo
I like your hairs, where did you get it?
Agree about the bald base. Some skins even come with both black and brown brows as bald bases within the pack. So you might be able to use another one? I remember when I was REALLY new (very long ago) and put on my first real skin (a big deal then) an LOST my eyebrows!!!! Took me forever to figure out how to get them back – LOL.
BUT, my REAL question is GOGOLITA WHERE DID THAT HAIR COME FROM? It looks fantastic on you and I love it.
Im actually using a black base it’s still looking brown though
