Have you been to Mish Mish? They sell these adorable Lil Veggie family shoulder pets, each is controlled by a HUD (seen above). The owner can wear the pet along with the HUD and choose different animations such as kiss, wave, jump, and sleep.
If you're in the mood to garden, the Mish Mish Vegetable Patch can grow tomatoes, carrots, radishes, and sprouts, all selectable via a menu. There are cute garden acessories sold at the shop as well, so you can decorate your garden area with seed packets, a watering can, and a mini shovel.
TP to Mish Mish, there are lots of cute and giftable items.
Happy birthday to Truth Hawks! Without your presence in Second Life, we would all be a little less stylish, so naturally, your birthday should be celebrated grid-wide.
I went to The Arcade. I recently told you how burned I felt after the last round, but apparently, I don’t learn my lesson. I went again and found so many schoolgirl outfits, which is perfect for the back-to-school season. As if I don’t already have 100 schoolgirl outfits in my Second Lifetime, but I played, and I conquered.
My friend says I look like a bad schoolgirl, but whatever could she mean? Gogo is so sweet, definitely not a mean girl. The Seniha Back to School outfit is actually pretty reasonable for a gacha. You can easily put together a complete outfit with just a few plays.
I also love everything Movement makes, so I was happy to see their darling gacha offerings. If you love accessories, check out the Movement Zodiac Girl set. The set includes a planner, bag, and tablet.
It’s officially autumn in Second Life! The Bellisseria regions have changed seasons, and the best season has arrived. Bring on the cozy vibes and pixel sweaters.
I had a feeling that many people would be blogging this Tuli Zoe skin (from Skin Fair) so I waited awhile to do my own post. I think that overall, this is a very nice skin with plenty of options to mix-and-match your own look.
I wish the Pale tone was more pale for Blondes, but if you wanted to do a beachy Blonde look, Zoe does have nice highlights and shine on the face that works well together.
Top Row: Blonde | Light Brown
Bottom Row: On Skin (Brown) | Black
I love the range of colors offered for the brows tattoos, but I didn’t like how they looked once the colors were darker than Light Brown. The Brown/Black brows looks unnatural, like it was drawn on with an eyeliner pencil. I guess they look more “harsh” than the Blonde and Bleach brows (my favorites).
The lipsticks options are superb, they’re available in 12 natural colors and has a nice subtle glossy look to them. These lipstick tattoos will only work with Tuli’s skins, cos they have some “skin” texture around the lips. If you find a skin tone from another brand that is a close match, it might work — but the lipstick tattoo is not cropped closely all around.
Overall this skin is pretty cute. I realize that not everyone is quite as picky as I am, so give Zoe a try, you may like it 🙂
Second Life is rolling out a new cheaper Premium Plus plan this October, but it doesn’t include the weekly Linden stipend. On paper, it works out to about the same cost as the old plan with the stipend, but the benefit really depends on who you are in-world.
If you’re a resident who shops, rents land, or just enjoys having a little spending money, the stipend is basically free Lindens in your pocket. It’s what makes Premium feel cheaper, because those few hundred Lindens a week can either go straight into your shopping budget or help offset the cost of Premium. Without that stipend, the discount doesn’t really give you more value. You just lose the free money.
Where the new plan makes sense is for creators and anyone earning Lindens in-world. If you already have a steady flow of income, you probably don’t care about a stipend trickling in every week. In fact, this option benefits you more because it means fewer Lindens are being pumped into the economy. Less supply keeps Lindens stronger, and that helps creators when they cash out their earnings.
There’s also a smaller win here for people who love playing Game of Homes (GoH) and having multiple homes. Premium Plus gives you access to the 2048 Linden Homes, and this new no-stipend version brings the cost down by about $100 a year. So if you’re mainly in it for the house and don’t care about stipends, this plan lets you hold onto a home for a little less.
It’s also worth pointing out that with the real-life economy struggling, Second Life is clearly planning ahead. They’re looking for ways to improve their own virtual economy while keeping Linden dollar stable. A stronger, steadier Linden dollar benefits creators the most, especially those who rely on cashing out.
But I also wish Second Life would consider the residents who aren’t earning any Lindens at all. For a lot of people, the weekly stipend is more valuable than free uploads or other perks. I have Premium Plus and almost never upload anything. This is where the new plan could backfire. Without a stipend, people may become more budget conscious. They may start to notice just how expensive it is to buy Lindens with real money, once you factor in the fees and the not so great exchange rate. Reminding people that in-game currency equals real money is not the kind of wake-up call Second Life should want to encourage.
If Second Life wants to cater to all residents, they would allow us to customize our Premium plan. Imagine being able to pick from a list, no uploads, no stipend, no extra groups, etc., and adjust your subscription price based on what you actually use. That kind of flexibility would make Premium feel more tailored and valuable to everyone, not just creators.
At the end of the day, this plan isn’t really for shoppers or casual users. It’s for creators who earn their Lindens, or for GoH fans who just want the cheapest way to hold a house for less money. Everyone else will find the stipend plan still gives the better deal.
Still, having options is always a good thing. Soon, residents will be able to choose what works best for them, whether that’s weekly pocket money or a lower upfront cost with no stipends attached.
In Second Life, I can relive my Second Childhood (which is not that long ago!) with cutesy accessories and clothing. Ivey Deschanel of SN@TCH recently released these yummilicous 'Retro Crush' tees and I am in luuuuuuuurve! The 'Retro Crush' set also includes a pair of Retro Virgin Vintage jeans! I can't resist cute, and these are cuteness overload!

LeLutka released so many goodies this week — but omg, the most exciting has to be these gorgeous new FAME pumps! They are available in Shiny or Suede textures and also includes plain and striped leg warmers (scripted to color-change). I love a good pair of pumps; they really do go with everything and you can wear it with cute tights!
