I'm fairly organized, but sometimes I find things in my inventory that confuses me, I don't know how it got there or how long it's been there. Then I try it on and it's totally NEW to me! Obviously I didn't try it on either, oops! Yesterday I found a skin called *GC* skin sitting there in my skins folder, not filed away properly, so I thought what is this?! When I tried it on it was like….. score! I would totally have bought this if I didn't already have it.
This is GC* skin by Giana Paine. Gigi Couture is mostly known for having adorable clothing, but there is a small skin line, and it's very affordable at $300L per skin.
THEN… I found something labelled *Donna Flora* Gisella (Juicy pink?), and of course I have no recollection why it's called Juicy Pink, and not just Pink. I blogged the Donna Flora Gisella outfit in Peach colored last week, and Squinternet Larnia had sent me a special Juicy Pink as a gift, but my inventory is such a mess I never saw it. So, thank you Squinternet! <3 Donna Flora!!
p.s. I love these N-core heels, I'll save that blog post for laterrrrr……

I found myself on this map in VRChat not long after signing up for the game. I didn’t know what was going on at first. People were waiting in this lobby like it was a real club. I could hear muffled music as if I were outside a real building. A group of girls chattered away near me, talking about what club to hit up next since their favorite dj’s set was over.
Inside, people were dancing. A moderator was positioned off to the side and looking over the crowd like a bouncer. As I had no one to talk to and didn’t have a VR headset at the time, I left once my curiousity was satisfied. I wouldn’t return again for half a year. That’s when my experience changed entirely.
Sculpted hands are here! No more ugly avatar hands when you want to take fabulous close-up pics! I’ve seen previews of sculpted hands in progress from a couple of designers, but I do believe that SLink is the first to release a fully sculpted hand. These new De Jolies Mains “pretty hands” from SLink comes with 3 hand styles (flex, straight, curl) and a HUD to change nail colors, resize, turn jewelry on/off.
I don’t Photoshop my images so if you look closely enough, you will see a slight ‘line’ where the sculpted hand and avatar arm meets. I think that with the bracelet option ‘on’ it will be unnoticeable but with it off, this line is unavoidable. I am very happy with this hand because it’s realistic and matches the SL avatar beautifully. I’m just ecstatic to have a new thing to play with in SL that enhances my avatar’s realism.
My dress is the gorgeous new Svara dress from Zaara that comes with a sexy wrapped version (worn above) and a more modest less revealing version with more fabric underneath. I really like this dress, and I could totally see it converted to a bikini if Zaara made it shorter and a pair of panties to go with it. Svara bikinis anyone?
Why is it that whatever I say sometimes causes so much fuss? A couple of weeks ago, I compared VRChat‘s avatar grading system to Second Life’s avatar complexity numbering, stating that we should adopt grades instead because it’s simpler for users to understand.
But Second Life likes to play the telephone game with re-quotes and paraphrases. Soon, my suggestion morphed through other mouths and turned into “I want us to pare down our avatars to Ruths”, and that’s not what I said at all. Do people read around here? Do they just like being outraged over things? Make a little cash with clicks in the process?
Whatever.
In an effort to retain my goal of an ultra-chill summer, I took to the seas of the Bellisseria continent to invest in deepwater fishing. And while I’m here, let’s do that “VRChat versus Second Life” comparison. We’ve already gone halfway with it. Why not take the whole kit?
This new Laya hair from Exile is only available at Rezzable’s “Future is Now” event. The hairstyle can be worn with the braids attachment or without. Personally, I love it both ways, but the braids gives it that wild & messy look.
I’m pairing the Laya hairstyle with the Glitterfly dress in Pink and Cream from Hucci. This dress is short and sexy, I totally like how the system skirt is used here (it doesn’t even make my ass look fat!).
ISSIGONIS has just released the Aska skins in 4 skin tones Pale, Cream, Natural, and Honey. I’m wearing the Natural skin tone and 4 of the makeups available:
Each skin comes with light or dark brows:
The new ISSIGONIS Aska skins are only available at Skin&Shape Expo for now. Visit ISSIGONIS @ S/S Expo.
Hello and welcome to my blog! Long-time readers already know that blogging is my passion, and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. Over the past 17 years, my interests have varied and evolved, but everything you see on JuicyBomb is a true reflection of me. I’m thrilled to join the Got Blog! Bloggers Challenge. Through this challenge, I hope to share my thoughts on blogging and offer readers a deeper understanding of the Second Life blogging community.
When did you start your Second Life Blog?
I started my Second Life blog in 2007. My blog is nearly as old as my avatar!
Why did you start Blogging in Second Life?
My first Second Life blog was on a free platform, and it wasn’t a fashion blog. I just wanted a place to document my adventures in Second Life, so it was just candid photos and brief captions. Eventually, I decided to make a proper blog, so I bought a domain and started a blog called Gogolita. The name Gogolita was a combination of my avatar name (Gorgeous) and my favorite fashion style at the time (Lolita fashion). A year later, I bought a region and named it Juicy, so I rebranded to JuicyBomb.
Do you feel the Blogging community in Second Life has changed since you started Blogging, and if so, in what ways?
Back in the day, I felt that (fashion) bloggers wrote to share a genuine love for items they discovered and to connect with other residents on the grid. I used to know most of the bloggers in Second Life—not personally, but through their writings and being in the same groups and attending bloggers-only events. Designers were really nice to bloggers in general; they tried to be our friends, hoping we’d promote their stores. Now, some designers act like we’re their employees, setting requirements to be part of their blog teams. Even the bloggers appear to be more focused on meeting deadlines and promoting products rather than sharing things they genuinely love.
Do you think that Bloggers have a positive impact on Second Life culture and community, and if so, do you have any stories about that?
Where would Second Life be without bloggers? I feel that all bloggers have contributed to Second Life and filled the information gap when Linden Lab fell short. Additionally, our love for shopping and sharing that love on our blogs has positively impacted e-commerce here. Imagine Second Life without bloggers! It might have shuttered long ago.
Are you approachable as a Blogger by content creators that may have interest in you as a Blogger for their Brand/Store? – if you have review policies etc. feel free to include them.
Absolutely! If brands want to collaborate with me, please reach out to me in Second Life – Gorgeous Aurelia. I’ll blog about women’s fashion, home and decor, and landscaping items. I will also explore your region or promote a project that I find interesting. I blog about all sorts of things, so if you think it’s something I might want to highlight on JuicyBomb, let’s talk!
Did she take down that skin? I know this is a post from a year ago, but I can’t find either the hair nor the skin again.
