This is the Fake Pianist outfit from TRI. The design is interesting, includes several different metallic belt styles and tube top in different bright colors. I'm wearing the skirty belt in mono color (bright and very shiny!!). This outfit can be worn without socks, with socks, or with just the skirty belt (for those that are super daring, lol).

and I have to show you some gorgeous prim nails from Love Soul! I'm not a fan of prim nails, like many people, because the hand only has one attachment point so movement causes prim nails to 'float' in a rather creepy manner. However, I found some poses made specifically for prim nails and they are gorgeous up-close! I know, I wish I could wear it all the time!! These Love Soul nails have a built-in pose for the hands, they're super easy to wear.
What I'm Wearing:

Some of Cajsa’s dearest friends have created a tribute event to honor the memory of Cliff, her RL cat that recently passed away. We’re also having a 3-day sales event with proceeds donated to the Oregon Humane Society. You can read more about the event at Kess’ blog.
✿ cheLLe ✿ is donating 100% of the proceeds from these new Leopard Spots back tattoos, so we hope that you can come out and support a good cause, and also leave your condolences and view cute Cliff pictures 🙂
I've been blogging SL fashion for almost two years now and I have to admit, I'm a complete wuss when it comes to giving honest opinions so will either blog stuff I genuinely like or not give any opinions at all and just give you the facts like.. "Here's new hair, new skin, here's a slurl, go shopping SL!"
Do people prefer that or an actual critique? I know designers must like some feedback, since I give my friends really honest critiques in-world when they ask me to check out their products for flaws or things that *I* would change. A lot of times those improvements are made and they end up selling a whole lot more (hopefully).
I've noticed that on this blog, whenever I critique something that I think is 'bad' or not my style, people get bent out of shape over it.
Here are some typical responses I've observed:
1. Whenever I point out something I don't like on a product, for example skins, a dozen people will say, "That's exactly why I like that skin! I love that it has no belly button/has seams/has acne!" Whatever floats your boat.
2. And it doesn't stop there, people will actually go out of their way to purchase said item, and then review it on their blog or flood their Flickr stream with it. "Gogo you're wrong! Let's all go buy 20 copies of [whatever item I simply mentioned I didn't like]."
3. I find it discouraging when people
assume I'm a 'negative bitch' or having a bad day in real life which
affects to the way I blog Second Life fashion. I try to say only good things about products most of the time, if you read my blog you'll know that. I blog to let people know what's out there in Second Life to go shopping, not to discourage it. Thankfully there are demos in Second Life for most avatar goods (hair, skin, shoes), because review blogs will NOT point out the flaws or things that may make you think twice before purchasing. Some blogs will, but you won't see it on here (most of the time) for said reasons above.
This DpYumYum Fitting Room was a group gift from toraji Voom. If you missed it, it’s gone now.
I saw many people decorating this lovely skybox and didn’t really know what to do with mine until I remembered that I needed to set up a new Baby’s room. Since I moved to my homestead, I had to sacrifice a couple of homes, so I didn’t have any space in my existing beach house for a baby’s room at all. This skybox is fabulous, and is just the perfect size for all of my Zooby Baby’s furniture.
I paid a visit to Zoobyville recently and purchased my baby a new bathing suit! While I was there, I noticed a fabulous new line of Maternity wear, which I will feature in a separate entry soon.
Zooby Baby lovers will be happy to know that I have info from creator Carrie Tatsu that a newborn will be released very soon. How exciting!!!!! My baby is totally getting a new sister 😛
In the mean time, please enjoy some fabulous baby pictures. My friends are split into two groups, some of you adore the babies and have one yourself, and some of you think I’m weird. But you know what? You cannot deny their cuteness!!
After being teased all week with coming soon notices, Entente finally opens to the public with a large range of items mainly geared towards men in SL, but there are a couple of things for the ladies too.
If first impressions are important, I was definitely impressed with the build upon entering. The interior textures are amazing and so realistic and the displays are very well done. I liked that the build was spacious, and really easy to navigate.
I spent too much time taking pictures of everything, that I didn’t get a chance to grab demos of all the things on display. From what I’ve seen, this brand has a lil’ bit of everything — and probably lots of room for new products.
Men’s hair! None for the ladies, yet.
More of the build! I hope I was able to rez all the textures correctly, as I was crashing quite often and had to re-rez the entire thing each time.
There is an Opening Gifts package at the store filled with a couple of goodies in both Femme and Homme versions.The gift bag is not there anymore, sorry guys! I’m wearing the Sebastien Glasses and Saile Tee from the package. I love these glasses, they’re beautiful and the scripting on the HUD to change textures & size is flawless. I did notice that this top has nice sculpted sleeves, but the seams are so-so; while the stripes are lined up pretty well, it does look unfinished without some shading along the seams.
With any brand in SL that is a group effort, I’ve noticed that some designers in the group have more skills than the others.
I have no idea who the main avatar(s) behind Entente are, but I have a couple of guesses! Who do you think is behind this brand? I heard it was a collaborative effort between a few established SL designers.
Visit Entente, then come back and tell me what you guys think of the build & items!
Opulence, I love this word. Opulence is this month’s theme for Uber, and so many brands delivered with luxurious goods! I am so impressed with this Isabella corset outfit from Eudora, matching headpiece, and even matching pumps! Everything includes a HUD to change the color/texture.
I attended today’s Zoom meeting between Linden Lab and content creators/bloggers. The focus was on content theft in Second Life, and I will not bore you with all the details. You can read a recap of the meeting by Salt Peppermint. It appears that Linden Lab will soon revise their Terms of Service to include harsher penalties for any resident caught stealing content. Such penalties may include banning the offending account and all associated alt accounts, removing all their content from the grid, and potentially pursuing legal action.
Some of the meeting was dedicated to marketing. If any content creators wish to collaborate with Linden Lab by offering perks to residents, they should reach out. If you have an idea that could attract new residents to Second Life or help retain them once they join, Linden Lab is eager to hear about it. They mentioned that MadPea had approached them, but did not disclose whether they are compensating MadPea for providing their games for free to residents or if exposure is considered sufficient payment.
Regarding other marketing plans, Linden Lab is still assessing the return on investment for their marketing initiatives. They want to ensure that their spending to attract new residents brings in the right demographic—the residents who are willing to spend money. I believe Brad Oberwager (Executive Chairman of Linden Lab) referred to them as “monetarily valuable” residents. Essentially, Second Life aims to attract individuals who join, purchase premium memberships, acquire land, buy items, and continue this cycle. When I first joined the game, I was intrigued by the potential to earn money, but I quickly discovered that my true passion lay in dressing up my pixel doll. I believe the demographic that Second Life wants to target includes young, tech-savvy individuals who enjoy cozy dress-up games. While Second Life can be challenging, it is not difficult for those who learn quickly.
I left this meeting with the impression that Second Life creators have many ideas—such as a creator verification program—which could make the platform unwelcoming to new content creators or those who wish to create as a hobby rather than as a business. The beauty of Second Life is that anyone can create and sell anything, and implementing a verification system (like a gold star) could divide the community between verified and unverified creators.
I look forward to attending future Linden meetings and listening to fellow residents express their ideas and concerns. I believe Linden Lab faces a challenging road ahead, as marketing this game and achieving growth are not metrics that can be measured instantly.
If you are reading this blog post and are not yet playing Second Life, I encourage you to come and check it out! You can earn money here, and you can also be anything you wish to be.
