Fleur has just released these gorgeous Second Date dresses! I love the low cut cleavage and rich textures. Shown above are the dresses in Spring and Berry color.
Simtropia has been around for a long time, and they're famously known for having beautiful eyes. I'm very picky about which eyes I wear (I like small irises), and these look great.
What I'm Wearing:
Gala Phoenix – Petal [Dark] April-Redbud 1 MMS Hair – Villa (Natural Blond) Fleur – Second Date (Berry, Spring) Love Soul – Prim nails*Cherry blossom* artilleri – lovely lily! Courtisane – Sacoche (Bag) Muse – Kailena Necklace (Tan/Fern) Truth Aurora Heel (Mocha, Night)

I’m a big fan of skins that are for Blondes. The new Redgrave (Fairy Skin) Avie is a gorgeous face with beautiful complexion. I love everything about this light skin tone, and there are plenty of gorgeous “fairy” makeups to choose from!
Light Brows | Dark Brows
Each skin pack includes 16 makeups in Light and Dark brows. I think both brow colors are gorgeous, and very natural looking. Though I choose to wear this skin with Blonde hair, I think it will work just as beautifully with Dark Brown hair.
Redgrave – Avie (all 16 makeups)
Extra features available for the Avie skin includes: Breast Enlarger (tattoo), Lipstick tattoo in Cherry and Orange, prim NailsLong Fairy, a Hair base in Powder and a Fairy Glitter hairstyle also in Powder.
Phoenix Rising has just released a pretty new collection of clothes. There are short dresses, long princessy gowns, and a few basic pieces for you to mix-and-match! I’ve snapped pictures of a few of the new items, you’ll have to visit the store to see all the colors available (there are lots!).
Hi everyone! I went to the Tomorrow Today event [direct SLurl], and picked up this gorgeous Ankh necklace from Amorous. If you attend Tomorrow Today, don’t forget to look for items that are labelled with a donation percentage, cos the proceeds goes towards a good cause. Be sure to visit Amorous too, lots of pretty jewelry by Matchbook Monday.
My outfit today is based around the My Baseball Jacket from Monso! The Pink version of this jacket has a “G” which could possibly stand for Gogo or Gangnam Style??
Here’s a close-up of the G, not covered by my hair.
I’ve been thinking about SL22B, Second Life’s big birthday celebration, which is coming up next week. Around this time every year, I also find myself reflecting on whether I would buy SecondLifetime Premium Plus again in 2025.
Back at SL20B, Second Life introduced SecondLifetime Premium and SecondLifetime Premium Plus. It was a limited offer, and I was able to buy just one SecondLifetime Premium for $749 dollars. Then during SL21B, they gave us the option to upgrade from regular lifetime to Plus. I went for it and spent another $1,150 dollars to upgrade my main account. I also bought a brand new SecondLifetime Premium Plus for my alt at the full price of $1,899 dollars. So altogether, I’ve spent $3,789 dollars for two lifetime accounts.
Did I need two lifetime accounts? Last year, I would have said yes without hesitation. I wanted to lock in my Linden Homes permanently. I do not consider myself a creator, so the free uploads were not a huge deal for me. I also do not care about being in a hundred groups. The biggest appeal for me was living rent free in my Linden Homes. That was enough to justify it at the time.
Back then, I had a lot more confidence in Second Life as a company. These days, that confidence has faded. Would I buy another lifetime subscription this year? No, I would not. If they offer it again in very limited numbers, I guess my choice to pass gives someone else a shot at it. If you want one of these, you should pay attention during the Meet the Lindens event at SL22B next week and be ready to submit your ticket fast.
Lately, I keep asking myself how long a Second Lifetime really is. I hope the answer is forever, or at least long enough to break even. We are living in unpredictable times, and Second Life could disappear at any moment. None of us want that, but at the end of the day it is a company, and companies can go under. Everyone who bought Lifetime like I did is hoping Second Life stays around long enough for us to enjoy the full value of our long lifetime subscriptions.

There is a new Lara Hurley Skin out at CH1C’s birthday event, and it only has one makeup (neutral), three skin tones (Pale|Tan|Dark) and hair base option. Since I don’t wear other skin tones, I wish there were more makeups options, but this neutral face is a good base for tattoo makeups.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these new Imabee Olivia eyeshadows! This was created to match the Olivia skin from Imabee, but it will work with any skin in SL (it is transparent all around).
I just love piling on tattoo blush and eyeshadows! I’ll try to do another Minute Makeover post soon, cos I’ve found some pretty awesome new tattoo makeups.
Hey skin addicts! If you want to score this gorgeous LeLutka Lola skin in Sunkissed tone, visit the Modavia II sim. I think this skin is a MFW 2010 gift so it may not be available for long!
Fishy Strawberry has a gorgeous pair of unisex Gonzo Jeans for $55L only at The Dressing Room. This is a limited time deal, so get it while you can! I’m thrilled that I can share these pants with my boy av too 😛
I wasn’t sure what to pair with these jeans until I remembered the Tube Top shirt that Fishy Strawberry released this week that goes perfectly with this. I love this classic White & Blue jeans combo, and yes, you can wear White after Labor Day.
Check out my flats! I’m matchingggggggggg!
