After 11 rounds of the New Zindra land lottery, what an adventure it’s been! Second Life kept us on our toes, and I had so much fun touching kiosks and running around checking out new land with my friends. What started as a little game turned into some beautiful new places to call our own, and I can’t wait to start making beautiful spaces on New Zindra!
For anyone who hasn’t been following along, New Zindra is an expansion of Second Life’s existing Adult Mainland continent, Zindra, with 92 new regions. The land was originally added to accommodate residents relocating from Gaeta 1, which Second Life had planned to close. Then came the surprise announcement that Gaeta 1 would remain open after all! Once displaced Gaeta 1 residents had their chance to relocate, Second Life offered the remaining New Zindra parcels through a lottery, giving residents a chance to claim a little piece of the new continent.
And would you look at that dreamy view behind me? I won this gorgeous island in Hog Tide during the lottery, and I couldn’t be more stoked! I especially like the New Zindra terrain with patches of green grass mixed with sandy beaches, this is not something you can find anywhere else in Second Life. It’s such a pretty combination, and I’m already imagining all the possibilities.
Of course, I can’t keep everything! If you love the island and that gorgeous view behind me, Hog Tide could be yours! Check out my available parcels at JuicyBomb Land Sales page, or contact me in Second Life if you’re interested.
A big thank you to Second Life and the land team (Wendi Linden, Kady Linden, Kit Linden, Guy Linden, Oatmeal Linden, Whitney Linden) for making the lottery such a fun experience. Here’s to new neighbors, beautiful views, and making New Zindra feel like home!
I know I’ve worn this Truth updo all week, but it really does go with everything and it’s a nice change from my usual long hairstyles. I’m accessorizing it with a gorgeous feather headband from Little Tasta (@ Fantasy Gacha Carnival).
I love these new Travelers Tees and Estate Shorts from BOOM! The shorts fit really well, but the top had a couple of issues around the shoulders. I straps hovered about an inch above my shoulders, and the alpha takes away too much of the shoulder, it wasn’t needed at all, so from the side it looked really bad. I wore a different shirt alpha, one that didn’t take away the shoulders and it looked way better, but I’m also wearing this gorgeous Faux Fur Coat from Teefy to cover up, plus it looks good!
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Truth Hair – Felicity
Little Tasta – Headband 2
BOOM – Traveler Tee (Rich Kids) S
BOOM – Estate Shorts (Sugar) SM
Teefy – Faux Fur Coat (Pink) S
SLink – Sigourney Boots (S) White
I’ll admit to being a snob about template clothing in SL, but I absolutely love this Romance Tunic Dress from Toxic. Sometimes, template clothing can cuter than an original creation, and more inexpensive! I paired the Mint colored dress with the new Collide hairstyle from Exile (available at faMESHed).
Hello from Hair Fair! If you want to try on hair and make a shopping list before arriving at the fair, join the Hair Fair DEMO Group in-world! It would take several hours to see everything that Hair Fair has to offer this year, so take a look at SeraphimSL for a preview, they did an amazing job taking pictures of all the vendors.
Here’s a quick video showing some of my favorite hairstyles found at Hair Fair:

*note: If you think they suck, please say so but I probably won’t change it cos that’s all the Photoshop I know and I’m not a professional web-banner maker, but I tried to make it pretty!!
