Sweetest Goodbye has just released the Billie cropped hoodie. This is an adorable sculpted hoodie and will work with many different looks. I've decided to wear it with some pieces from the Rapture outfit from Winter Moon. This is my version of a hot video game vixen?
The Billie cropped jacket comes in Red, Blue, Black, and Gray.
During 2007 and 2008, I had one site banner design for each year, and I stuck with it. For some reason I'm completely indecisive this year.. this design will be the THIRD one. I hope you guys like it! It's tropical, with a blue background to mimic water on the beach, and I've even changed my font!
I know, there are too many changes and I really don't like drastic change either, so I re-used my pink font style, and also included the background stars, which I've been using forever! I LOVE THOSE STARS, even though they're sooo easy to do in Photoshop.
I’ve received the coolest press package ever from Babyhoney Bailey. I rezzed this expecting a typical notecard giver but was pleasantly surprised to find that it contained things that are useful — like, I can totally use the pine tree & pine wreath (both would make wonderful decors items) and there’s even a little red wagon!! The crates also contains goodies from Djinn & Tonic. This is so clever and memorable, it’s worth mentioning!
Now, onto the info you need to know:
.44 Caliber is hosting a Winter themed playground for you and yours to come pick up your last minute Christmas decorations, gifts, and winter goods.
Ice skate with your friends, sip on spiked hot cocoa, ride a reindeer, shop, or just hang out and enjoy the snow (from the comfort of your heated home.)
Over the next few days Holiday Hill will see the likes of Djinn & Tonic, Fear & Clothing, Agent Orange, Anexx, Lark, Malt, Miseria & Mudhoney stuffing their cottages full of winter goodness. Blackheart & Bailey have been busy to make sure you take a stroll around and click anything you might want to take home – there’s a good chance most of it is for sale.
Also, .44 Caliber in association with Glance International Agency is having a Holiday Hill photo contest! (See attached notecard for details!)
Holiday Hill wil be open throughout the month of December, so come on down, and see us. We look forward to spending the holidays with you!

Juicy sim will go offline on April 26th, thank you to my friends for the best 12 years of sim ownership in SL! Visit my little corner of Juicy if you want to see it for the last time.
Times are changing, and with the popularity of Linden Homes, I foresee a change in how people rent land as well. I have thought about taking a break from the rental business for quite some time, and with the recent launch of Bellisseria, it reaffirms that this is the right decision.
Once I found a buyer for Juicy sim, I upgraded my account to Premium to acquire a Linden home. I wanted to move into the same sim block with all of my friends, but the homes are randomly assigned. Aemeth got a home several sims away, and she did an amazing job decorating it.
I wanted a waterfront parcel, and after abandoning the first home that was inland, I scored this little charming home on my second try:
It’s near water, it has a (blocked by houseboats) view of the ocean, and my own little private beach! I’ve always had an unlimited amount of prims to myself, so it will be a challenge to decorate this home and landscape while staying within the 351-prims limit.
If you figure out where I live… sail on by!
I’m enamored by my little Linden home and community living with so many perks. This premium slice of waterfront land, which would normally cost several thousand lindens, is free with premium membership! I love having roads I didn’t have to build, and going to community areas (pools) that I also didn’t have to build!
How much does Premium Membership cost? I paid $72USD/year for my membership. I receive a bonus $1,000L cos I’m a first-time subscriber, and I will receive a $300L weekly stipend. That’s $15,600L in yearly stipend plus my $1,000L bonus = $16,600L (or $66USD) I get back from Linden Lab. My total cost for my home is only $6USD a year!
I predict that by the end of this year, Linden Lab will make several more land announcements that will increase premium membership subscriptions and also affect sim owners. My predictions are:
Linden homes with larger parcels options
Commercial themed sims, with various parcel sizes
Lowered tier prices on all sims, ending the distinction between grandfathered sims and regular sims
Allowing residents to own a homestead sim without owning a full sim
Did you get a Linden home this week? Do you think any of my predictions will come true? Let me know in the comments!
EDIT: 9/26/2019 – I have moved out of my first Bellisseria home! My friend lives there now.
I’m entering my cape fashion era. When I’m not wearing casual pieces, I really like to dress up and pretend I’m a lady from the past, maybe the 1800s! I am wearing the Sweet Time cape from Toksik. This pairs beautifully with the Flirty Slip from Tres Blah. You can wear a cape with casual/modern dresses, or pair it with any outfit that you want… capes are the best!
A friend said to me… Gogo, you only wear 3 hair brands. This is kind of true, I only 3 hair brands as my staples, and then sometimes I add a new brand if there’s a style that I like. I think I will start adding Wings hair to my list of hair brands, so now that’s 4 brands that I wear. This brand is super cute, and I’ve already found a few hairstyles that I love.
As you may or may not have heard, there’s a Gala Fundraiser event that starts on July 9th. ✿ cheLLe ✿‘s contribution to this event is the Bohemian Beauty set of six under-eyeshadow. I am donating 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this makeup set to Gala Phoenix. Hope you guys enjoy, and see you there!
If you want to know more about why this event is being held, I’ve found a thorough blog post with a ton of links about the Gala/Hush situation, compiled by LeeHere Absent.
Tiny Bird has just released two new hairstyles with all new hair textures! I really like the clever bird’s nest packaging (pose included) that ‘breaks’ an egg when you touch it to deliver the hair color pack.
I am wearing Tiny Bird’s ‘Green Gloves’ and ‘Laundry Day Hair’ both in Bistre Brown. The Green Gloves style is without hoodie, and Laundry Day Hair is a collaboration with Reek to match the Laundry Day Hoodie.
Reek‘s Laundry Day Hoodie includes Hoodie HUD to change all sculpted attachments to 20 pre-selected colors & textures. The hoodie can also be worn down, or up and pair with other hairstyles, too.
I’m playing around the CreamShop sim with Glitterati‘s ‘Rainy Days’ pose set & color-changeable umbrella. There are 10 poses included in this pack, it’s pretty awesome!
What I’m Wearing:
&Bean – Pillow Light ONE
Tiny Bird – Laundry Day Hair
Tiny Bird – Green Sleeves
artilleri – Zee tank top (White)
Reek – Laundry Day Hoodie
Kyoot – Zipper Cords (Sea)
G-Field – Key Necklace
UBU – Drunks
&
* Glitterati – Rainy Day Poses
That hair is super cute, I’m going to have to pay Exile a visit.
