If you’re not on X (Twitter), you really should be. I use a few different platforms to keep up with Second Life news, but lately I’ve been enjoying X more because it gives me a nice mix of real world updates too. The algorithm is surprisingly good at surfacing tech content I care about, like the latest in AI. Today I came across a fun tweet that inspired me to try something new. I turned my Second Life avatar into a figurine.
All you have to do is go to Google Gemini and enter this prompt:
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.
From photo to figurine style in just one prompt.

People are having fun turning their photos into images of custom miniature figures, thanks to nano-banana in Gemini. Try a pic of yourself, a cool nature shot, a family photo, or a shot of your pup.
Here’s how to make your own 🧵 pic.twitter.com/e3s1jrlbdT
For my Gemini photo, it took a few tries with Second Life snapshots before the app accepted one. Eventually I uploaded a full body shot and within seconds it generated the cutest figurine photo. I even tweaked the prompt to add some flowers to my desk. To get good results, you’ll want a clear picture of your avatar against a plain background. I was impressed that it captured my clothing and accessories so well and it really does look like Gogo in SL.
Try this and let me know what you think! Don’t you want a doll of your Second Life avatar? I know I do!
Oh look, I’ve left my skybox! And, I’m wearing something other than a tank top and booty shorts.
Evie’s Closet has just released the Ariel dress in a bunch of different colors. I’m wearing the Pink one, of course! This dress includes sculpted flower top, sculpted flower pants (with and without silk attachments), circlet (for your hair), anklets, and modesty tops & pants (not worn here). I tried on the modesty top and pants and I didn’t like the look of it showing beneath gorgeous sculpted flowers, so I went without pants.
I tend to take too many pictures when I’m doing photos in-world cos I figured since I’m already there, and I’ve spent all that time rezzing the sim, why not take a bunch of pictures? Oh, also, other people must think I’m a weirdo for hovering in the same spot almost naked for a long time. I need a group tag that says “I’m not weird, I’m just blogging.”
Also, if you like my poses used in these photos, they’re from Leafy. I love these poses for in-world photos, especially when I want ‘action’ shots.
All pictures were taken at Tempura Island!
What I’m Wearing:

Fascino – Ayan (Orchid) hair
Evie’s Closet – Ariel (Pink)

I am a huge fan of online photo editors. I have reviewed Picnik, PicMonkey, Ribbet, etc. I have used all of those services and found each one to be easy to use, fun, and definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of editing without using Photoshop.
FotoJet sent me an invite to review their online photo editor and collage maker, so I tried some of the filters and fun graphic design tools. For now, signing up for an account is FREE. I predict that once this service gains more popularity, they will introduce a fee, like some of the services I mentioned above. Usually the price is a few dollars a month, or around $20-$25 for the yearly subscription. It’s fairly cheap, if you enjoy these type of things.
I was able to edit photos, make posters, make magazine covers within a matter of minutes. Everything seen above is editable – resize the text, re-position it, or remove it entirely! If you’re looking for a fun way to jazz up your SL photos, check out FotoJet!
While I know my way around Photoshop, I really love playing with photo editors when I want to make quick edits to my photos. They’re great for adding filters and color manipulation. If you enjoy using online photo editors, let me know in the comments.
Obviously, I am not paid to write a review of FotoJet. Companies invite me to review things all the time, and I only review the services that I find beneficial or useful.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Half Shut Eyes
Ricielli – Jessy Top (Soft Pink)
Ricielli – Kendall Skirt (Sand)

Ashoka Eales of Phoenix Rising, along with other fabulous designers will be launching their own sim on January 31st! Mark your calendars… here's a preview of the gorgeousness to come!
The sexy 'Intentions' outfit from Phoenix Rising is definitely a MUST HAVE! This outfit includes lots options and layers that can easily be worn together or mix-and-matched with other pieces in your wardrobe. I love the shirt, hat, and the cute little lingerie tail skirt (not shown above is the long formal skirt).
The 'Mourning Elegance' gown is glamorous and classy! My favorite piece in this outfit is definitely the flexi skirt, it moves so nicely!
For now, you can find Phoenix Rising @ the Costa Rica Sims

Heya Gogo, yes the faces are cute.. but have you checked the rest of the body… at all??? It’s a nice quilt… but not exactly what I expect on a skin… not even if it is this convenient.
hi Grazia! I have, and the six-pack is not what I would normally prefer but 800L works out to be about 133L per skin so it’s not a huge amount if you just wanted make-ups variety. I think these are partially Eloh mods too, and gawd I must have hundreds of them in my invy from all different creators! 😛 The’re cheap, fun.
The face is totally Eloh cept the lips as you could see here http://s3.amazonaws.com/shop.onrez/item-686308-1215538393
Whats up with the belly. Looks like she didnt know how to finish it ?
I agree with me (uhmmm.. sounds weird… but hey…), the skins look unfinished. Also make sure to wear long hair.. because the head/neck is of a totally different texture than the back, which has a different texture than the front of the upper body, which has a different texture than the lower body… Yes.. cute faces… but even for just 800 a pack.. I think it is fair to point out the flaws, instead of just cheering the, indeed, adorable faces.
The six pack is the least of my concerns.. I’ll just pretend I work out all the time if the skin is good 😀
Thank you all for your constructive criticism. Opinions always help, my goal was just to make them pretty, lol. I certainly am not the best, still learning, next will be better for sure. Well, if there is a next time. Might be time to try something else, skins are a “killer”!
Heather… the skins you send me yesterday, the ones you’ve worked so hard on to make them better… they really have turned out pretty good. And I sure hope you won’t let skinmaking go.. because I think you could really make something good… after all, practice makes perfect. And after having surprised all of us with a lovely face, you have also managed to make a much better body than on the first version of your skin.
