Roll The Dice by Dice Beattie has the most funky, bright, fun, festive items I've seen in awhile! The grid needs more like this cos sometimes It's just gloomy in here… 😀
Over-sized glasses + little gym shorts completes the look. These are sooo the 80's!
Beats by Dice Beattie has cute retro-esque dresses and bathing suits! OMG there's hot pink and the suit is named… after Swirly Cyclone!

Now that my shopping blackout is over, I rembered that I wanted the Oaklynn Gown from Just Because. I collect a lot of their gowns since I love their style and color choices. When I’m not lounging in casual clothes, my other favorite style is Victorian lady, so I just fill my wadrobe with lots of gowns.
I went to Session Skin to try on the Charlize skin, mostly out of curiosity. I had no interest in looking like Charlize Theron, but I wanted to see if it looked good in-world. That led me to trying on a whole wall of face skins, only to decide they all aged me a little more than I would like in Second Life. The good news is that I still came away with a gorgeous new body skin.
I wasn’t even looking for a new body skin, but I’m always open if something suits me better. I tried on the Athena body skin and it looked great with a few of Izzie’s fixes. The challenge was matching their four skin tones to my Glam Affair face. It’s surprising that they only offer four tones and no neck blend, which leaves you on your own if you’re wearing anything other than a Session face skin.
Still, I made it work. I paired the Almond body tone from Session with Glam Affair L005 for the face. What you see here is not the bare Session skin since I added a couple of Izzie’s tattoos, but you get the idea. One of my gripes with the Ethereal Essence body skin I was wearing before is that the torso was too shiny, and they still have not released an optional layer to fix it. Another annoyance was how the inside elbow sat too high on the upper arm, which looks awkward when you bend your arm. Since I bend my arms a lot in Second Life, especially when holding things, I notice it right away. The Session body skin, however, has perfect shading at the elbow.
If you wear lighter tones and want to try a new body skin, these are worth a look. The toes are a bit of a blurry mess, but overall I liked it enough to fatpack. I would never recommend a body I would not wear myself. The definition is nice, and I managed to match it pretty well.
I like pressies, especially if they are items I can wear like SKINS! Winter surprised me this morning with a landmark to a skin shop unknown to me! How is that possible?! The brand is Domestic -V, and has a fantastic collection of Deadly Doll skins in seven sinful flavors! Shown below is the Envy Doll skin (thx Winter!) with tears version.
These Domestic -V skins are priced so affordable at $300L per skin and TRANSFERABLE. That’s right, buy this for yourself, your friends, pass it around to your alt.. whatever, it’s awesome!
I look so pouty..

TP to Domestic -V to demo all the Dead Doll skins for yourself 🙂
Katat0nik made this great Making Memories dress, a freebie at Starlust Motel lobby. I love this all the colors and cute unicorn print on the skirt. This dress is too good to be a freebie!!! But it is.. we're so spoiled rotten by Katat0nik's amazing gifts. Anyways, I'm getting my Easter outfit ready really early because my friend Gal sent me an Easter basket today and said, 'Happy Easter!'. I think it's actually 2 weeks away but whatever.. I love this outfit 🙂
To complete the dress, I'm wearing all candy accessories! The Candy BackPack is from Photon Pink's and Candy Bauble necklace and earrings form Ztique! Candy overload. <3

Torrify has these adorable Truffle Skirts with sculpted ruffles on the backside. I think they’re a lil’ skanky (because they’re so short) but it’s a cute kind of skanky! I love these.. they’re SKIRTS not panties! But can be worn as panties if you want to 🙂
The new theme didn’t last very long, cos I couldn’t figure out how to insert a banner. I thought no one would mind the theme without a giant close-up of my face, but apparently a few of you guys said you’d miss that feature! 😀 I will not buy any more new themes this year, cos I just bought this one and barely used it for a month. I need an i-n-t-e-r-v-e-n-t-i-o-n!
I read Katya’s post about why some people blog, and my reason for blogging changes depending on my mood. My friend said I should blog whatever makes me happy, and if I’m not happy I should stop doing it.
Am I happy?
Designers get twitchy if you dare mention a critique, and readers/bloggers say they appreciate it, but they also say they’re “not as critical as Gogo.” Am I too critical? If I choose to ignore all the products that I don’t consider flawless, do you know that I would probably only end up blogging……. nothing. Except maybe Pink Fuel skin, it’s flawless.
Here I am, doing my part practicing social distancing in both lives!
Earlier this week, Linden Lab posted about coronavirus and how it would affect Second Life operations. According to their post, most of the staff is already remote, therefore, business as usual at the lab. This is good news for all of the current residents that will be home more during the COVID-19 quarantine.
I do like the colors. Definitely cheery!
However, I’d like to see some finished edges and more work with lighting and shadows. It seems like plain/flat textures are the indy trend du jour.
