Hello from the serene Buddha Garden! I discovered this gem through the Destination Guide, an excellent resource for finding picturesque spots and experimenting with EEP settings.
I was pleasantly surprised by how tranquil and well-designed this homestead region is. They’ve kept things simple due to prim limitations, but this simplicity enhances its charm. As a long-time admirer of Second Life water, being surrounded by it here is a dream come true.
The default EEP settings in this region were quite dark, so I created a new one specifically for my photos. Interestingly, I didn’t plan on making an EEP or shooting a short video, but I was inspired to capture the stunning new Second Life skies in a PBR viewer.
Adjusting to PBR has been a challenge, but I’m coping better by fully embracing the PBR viewer. By doing so, I avoid making constant comparisons with the old viewer’s water. Surprisingly, I’m starting to miss the beautiful pre-PBR water a little less each day.
Sometimes, diving in headfirst is the best approach to adapt to a drastic change.
My photos are straight from Second Life with very minimal edits—just a bit of blurring and cropping.
I was strolling along the streets of Mayfair looking at the shops when I ran into the guy from last week and he waved at me. As we stood in the streets exchanging hellos, it started to rain and he took off his jacket, and said he’d like to take me shopping, so I said yes.
A bunch of you guys said last week that I should keep him as well, maybe I will…
What do you think we bought together?

✿ cheLLe ✿ has a new set of moles and freckles! They are above the lips, under the eyes, above the eyebrows, and on the cheek. I think a sexy lil mole adds character, and is oh-so-sexy! This pack also includes a bonus freckles tattoo in Light, Medium, and Dark tone.
If your name is listed above, you should have received a boxed item from me, but if you didn’t just let me know in-world! Thanks!
Hidden profiles cannot be found in search, so if I cannot find you to gift you, I have to pick a new name! So if you want to win cheLLe goodies, make those profiles public!
KUMI IS HERE! It’s no surprise that Pink Fuel is my favorite skin brand on the grid, and overall my favorite “kawaii” brand — all of her other stuff is super cute too.
I know a ton of PF fans were annoyed that bloggers & friends received advanced copies, so I delayed posting this until the release of the skin. Now that Mochi is back, the skins are out, so go get ’em!!
With the release of Kumi, Pink Fuel also introduces 8 new skin tones! My favorite Pink Fuel tone was Honey, and now, it’s Peach. I normally wear Light Brows, but I’m really loving the Brown Brows and Dark Brows this time around, too. I’m wearing darker hair to complement the skin, but this skin also works perfectly well with any hair color.
Shown here is 6 of the 18 makeups available for this skin.
Check out the lipsticks on Mochi’s Flickr — there’s over 30+!!!! I like to mix-and-match the Pure (base) skin with my own shadows and lipstick tattoos, so having over 30+ new ones to play with is a makeup lover’s dream!
Hey, I was just wondering – do you know if they have any color change features or anything that’s scripted on them that makes them 500L a pair or was that just the pricing that was decided upon?
I now have a pair on, and these are the only plain, classic-style pumps I will ever need to wear. I may splurge on a fat-pack, or mini fat-packs each with like, a choice of 5 colours, if the price for the pair goes very low. 🙂
And, as far as I can tell, there is no scripting on these shoes at all.
But I had been looking forever for a pump with this classic, conservative but feminine line, and with a sober texture to suit. The Maitreya slinky stilettos were too thin, I couldn’t help but find fault with the lanky shape and plastic-y texture; I do not like the shiny pumps from Armidi with the overly wide toe; then the colours and textures on the Cute Girl pumps from Tesla aren’t very attractive. The pumps that came closest to pleasing me so far were the Tekylah Elytis Crisis pumps but they have a bit of a ‘Daisy Duck’ look to them. They’re a great value, though, you get all colours scripted in for the price of a pair if I remember well.
So, my quest for the perfectly shaped and adequately textured classic pump ends here. I know it sounds like a dull thing, but I think they bring an interesting playful accent when paired with either a reckless tomboy or a sugary girly outfit.
Although if the pair had rather been tagged at 300-350L, I would probably have bought three pairs by now instead of just the one. And perhaps, 450L would sound a bit less harsh, though it’s not much of a difference ? 😉
I’m really loving the Strawberries and Cream pair that I bought, they still haven’t come off my av’s feet. The toe-point hits that perfect, happy medium that I’ve been seeking out for a while now — not too pointy, not too rounded, but juuuuuuuuuust right ^^ And no nasty invisible foot syndrome around the edges, one of my biggest pet peeves when buying shoes!!!
I love the colours, and they are a generally nicely shaped shoe, but I couldn’t go for the $500L price. For one pair, it seems pretty high, and although they are nice, I found a few little glitch bits on my screen when looking at them rezzed on the tables, and the undersole seemed like it wasn’t quite the right fit. I would have liked to try them on and see them on my feet, or anyones feet, but they weren’t on feet in the ads and no demos. Maybe of the price comes down, I would grab a pair to try. 🙁
It may take time rendering all those sculptie shoes correctly on a full shopping sim, Jhuzen. When I first arrived, the shapes were kinda sloppy to me too, but as I had been aware of this issue for some time, I just stood around the shop for about 25mn, and by then all the shoes looked the same as on the poster. And when I put on the pumps in my home, they rezzed exactly right.
If when you try the demo in the store or someplace else, it looks funny, not quite as perfect as shown on the poster, it may just need some time rendering properly, but eventually it will. 🙂
Those are way cute. I’m hoping though that the price comes down a bit, or that there is a fatpack with a MASSIVE discount. Because those are the only things holding me back right now from getting them all.
zOMG! You made shooooes! You rock. 😉

We’re getting demos in the shop tonight 🙂

I’d also love to see a fatpack. I want to buy these shoes, but L$10,000 for the set is a bit much. 😀
Sean, fatpacks are coming!! And the prices will be irresistable.. I promise 🙂
