These new Fresh FX4 (LONDON) skins comes in 6 makeups and also with freckles (not shown). They look like a mixture of hand-drawn and photo-sourced and the result is something totally unique, like a painted portrait. I'm wearing the Fresh FX4 in the lightest skin tone.
What I'm Wearing:
FFX4 – London skins
Exile – Carrie (Chocolate) hair
artilleri – Nyna bikini (Green)
I need a place for my G-O-G-O Monogram Marquee Lights from Commoner. I forgot to rez them in my house and they’ve sat my inventory for months! Who doesn’t like their name in lights?
These new Akita Suede Boots from Hucci are fantastic. They’re available in Suede or Leather, and includes a HUD to change color. I thought this Studded Cross Dress (in Green) from Ricielli matches perfectly with the boots, and it’s so sexy! My only gripe about the dress, is that it is unlined (invisible on the inside).
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Truth – Candy (LightBlondes01)
Ricielli – Studded Cross Dress (Green)
Paper Couture – Jade Necklace, Earrings
Hucci – Akita Suede Boots – Collection (S)
&
Culprit – Bohemia Daybed
Commoner – Monogram Marquee Lights
Someone asked me awhile ago why I haven’t visited ColdLogic, and the truth is nothing appealed to me (until now). I don’t normally wear knee-length dresses, turtlenecks, or long trousers, so I’ve just been passing up the new releases. Finally, yesterday, the newly released Clark top (it’s mesh) caught my eye, cos I love the cleavage and it looked pretty great on. I purchased this top in White, and also bought the Mazza trousers (also mesh) in White to create an all White outfit. I could have also gone with the trousers in another color, they’re all pretty basic and will work with a bunch of things in my inventory.
This may be the most mesh items I’ve worn in a single outfit — shirt, trousers, and mesh hair! I think that wearing mesh is less complicated than regular sculpted prims (you don’t have to re-position or mod anything) buuuuut, you have to be willing to mod your shape, unless the alpha was very accurate. Instead of wearing the Medium size, which I thought made my avatar look really bulky, I chose to wear the Small and reduced my body fat & breasts on the sliders. I didn’t want to make my avatar slimmer than normal, I just didn’t like the too broad shoulders on the Medium size.

Stiletto Moody gave group members a free pair of Stiletto Moody Bare Lana in Red to celebrate the brand’s anniversary. For various reasons, I haven’t ever bought a pair of SM shoes (with or without feet). I am usually pretty good with tinting feet — and I own a lot of shoes from different brands in SL with them. I don’t understand why a pair of shoes that costs well over $2,000L does not include a HUD but a rather primitive drop-down menu. Really SM, you can’t make a HUD? It would make the tinting process SO much more pleasant. Other brands have them… Maitreya, SLink, even N-Core!
Anyways.. these shoes are FREE, so you know, like everybody else I’m curious to see what all the fuss is about.
All the photos taken below have NOT been post-processed — this is what a pair of Stiletto Moody Bare looks like to me:
1. Straight out of the box — my skin doesn’t match and the ankle strap doesn’t fit into the shoe.
2. I tried fixing my skin color via the ‘ControlFreak’ option and inputting my RGB — uh-oh my feet are PURPLE. So obviously I’ll have do it using the R,G,B drop-down menu which I hate. How am I suppose to know if I need to plus or minus more Green, Red or Blue? I’m a visual person, give me a HUD!
3. 10 minutes later, I’ve matched my skin as best as I could and fixed the fitting issue on the ankle strap.
4. Worn with my AO
Now that I’m satisfied with this, I hop off my pose stand and test the shoes out in-world with my AO. And it looks like crap….. hello hot mess. Looks good if you are posing but not so great when you want to wear it in-world.
5. Is this what you paid $2,000L for? (or however much these costs, I don’t know the exact price)
Would I buy a pair of Stiletto Moody? NO — not with the ankle strap issue. The foot isn’t that nice either with all those heavy shadows but it’s probably something I could live with.. but not for the price tag or the ill-fitted prims.
I know there are die-hard Moody fans out there, so enjoy your shoes! 🙂
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!

I went to the SL22B Meet the Lindens meeting today, and right at the start, Patch Linden dropped a bombshell. He announced a new land product coming soon to Second Life called Ridgewood Enclave. He didn’t say it’s part of Bellisseria, just that it’s going to be separate and its own thing. That makes me think it might be a bunch of mini region clusters they can launch as needed.
Ridgewood Enclave will have both homes and commercial parcels. The plan is to release the homes first, then the commercial spots later. I’m so ready! Take my money! I don’t even have an in-world store in Second Life right now, but I still want to make a little office or something cute like that.
There was also a quick update that more Linden Home themes are on the way, a theme for Premium Plus and another one for all 3 subscription levels.
Another bombshell is that Second Life is not selling any Premium Lifetime subscriptions this year, which is kind of a bummer. Even though I said what I said in my last post, I know some people were really looking forward to that.
After that first question, I kind of blacked out. My brain was stuck on one thing: Commercial-themed land is coming soon!
Watch the meeting:
Hello from the charming Seaside Sweets Shop, lovingly decorated by the talented Fay Starlight. This Traditional Linden Home has been transformed into a delightful sweet shop featuring cozy decor and an abundance of complimentary treats and beverages.
I’m fond of the adorable kawaii cafes scattered throughout Bellisseria and hope that the moles will grace us with many more such quaint spots across the continent. To me, the essence of a vibrant community encompasses more than just living spaces; it includes retail establishments and perhaps even a quaint chapel.
