MALT has just released the Gilli Dress in 9 different colors! I'm wearing it in Lime, Bubblegum, and Spice above. The skirt & top is sculpted, giving it such a great shape. Each dress also includes an AO version, with some great standing poses included. To activate the AO, just wear the shirt and it changes poses for you automatically.
What I'm Wearing:
Truth – Yvette (Seaspray)
LeLutka – LondonRevolutionLight-makeup5
MALT – Gilli Dress (Bubblegum)
SLink – Jolie Pied Achillia (White)
Vroooooooooommm!
All of my friends joke about dressing up their Second Life “Barbie” but NOBODY has a Barbie house or car, until now!! Moo Money made my day this morning by pointing me to the Sweet Bunny shop who sells the Barbie House, Barbie Car, Barbie RV, and tons more Barbie goodness to come. I purchased the items in-world, but you can use XStreetSL too.
The Avatar Welcome Pack is now available in the library and is free for all residents. To use it, copy the entire pack from the library into your inventory. I decided to challenge myself by dressing from head to toe in free items. Additionally, SeraPlus, the newly released gift pack from Seraphim, is also available. However, this gift pack is for paid residents only, meaning you need to be a Plus, Premium, or Premium Plus member to access it. I chose to mix and match items from both of these packs to create my version of Gogo Lite. Given the limitations of this mesh head and body, I think I did fairly well.
Almost immediately, I noticed that because I was using the lite Avalon head, I lack a HUD to control various features – can’t change lashes, expressions, HD makeups, etc. Furthermore, some of the shape sliders for facial adjustments are disabled. While I could edit about 90% of the features, one slider I really wanted to use, the chin depth slider, was unfortunately unavailable.
UPDATE: You can edit the chin slider and all of the sliders if you wear ANY BODY that is not Legacy Lite. I was able to edit the Avalon Lite head when I’m wearing the Maitreya LaraX body.
This is my first time wearing Legacy, so I can’t provide an informed opinion about it. Since it was free, I took the opportunity. However, I spent quite some time searching for a long sleeve alpha to cover my elbows, which were poking through the top; this was not included in Riot’s package. I assume the SeraPlus gift is aimed at residents with the full Legacy body, but if you search for it, you can likely find a free alpha to hide the arms. I also added a random shorts alpha to maintain modesty, as there were instances where private areas peeked through in various poses.
As for the Avatar Welcome Pack, while they stated that HUDs were omitted to simplify things for new residents, I believe HUDs are crucial for learning. It would have been beneficial to include at least some HUDs or controls. Though I find the free body and head adequate, the inability to hide certain body parts is a significant limitation. To top it off, I noticed I don’t have any fingernails, and the nails on the body skin I’m wearing is a hot mess on the Legacy lite body.
Overall, whether you’re a new resident or an experienced player looking spruce up your avatar, the Avatar Welcome Pack provides lots of items to get you started. If you prefer not to spend any money at all, I recommend checking out FabFree for all the latest freebie offerings.
I don’t often wear short hair, so when I find one that I love, you know it’s amazing. This short wispy layered hairstyle from Exile initially reminded me a lot of Taylor Swift’s hair; but when I tried on the pastel colors, I decided that it’s just amazing futuristic/anime hair.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Seethe
Blueberry – Loli (Hoodie Top)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Fairgrounds! I had so much fun trying to put together a green outfit from stuff in my inventory.

The new Maitreya Gold Esprit Xtd are stunning. These shoes comes with the HUD to match skin tone, change nail colors and a menu to color-change the Straps, Strings, and Ends. You can choose between 9 different colors for each component and mix-and-match them to your heart’s content.

This looks like a real foot, doesn’t it?
I’m pairing the Maitreya Gold Esprit Xtd in Noir with one of my favorite Elate! dress, the Felicity in Blush. Elate & Decoy is having a grand opening on their sim today, and they’re giving away free gifts!! The Elate Sunny Dress & Elate Sunny Ring is free during the opening.

If you haven’t tried Exile‘s new textures you’re totally missing out!! I’ve found yet another favorite Blonde, the Champagne has a lot of depth, and is just really sexy (shhh… I’m wearing it with the Phoebe skin even though the brows are Brown!). I would do anything for lighter brows on this skin!

Laqroki – Phoebe 06 [Fair] Glow skin
Exile – Courtney Remix (Champagne)
Elate! – Sunny Rose Ring
Donna Flora – Loretta jewelry set
Elate! – Silvia Sunny Dress

I’m a big fan of Glam Affair’s “weird skins”—you know, their Halloween-inspired and dark fantasy creations. Recently, I tried on the Glam Affair Creature Collection, and I was particularly drawn to the Cyber Mask. This led me on a quest for the perfect body skin to match it.
Interestingly, Glam Affair teamed up with Not Found for the Aliens and Cyborg Collection, and I decided to explore what they had to offer. I tested out a few other face masks from both Not Found and LeLapeau while I was there, but Glam Affair’s is my favorite.
If you’re in the mood to go full alien, Glam Affair has a matching skin that’s absolutely stunning. For now, though, I’m all in on being a cyborg, and I have to say, this is the cutest cyborg look I’ve ever seen in Second Life! If someone were to create this entire outfit in mesh, I’d immediately buy it.
However, I did have some reservations about the Not Found skin. I noticed some noticeable seams on the sides, and certain parts of the skin appeared a bit AI-generated and blurry. Despite these flaws, I still forked over L$699 because I really wanted to sport it. So my advice? Always demo before you buy. You really want to think twice about spending money on a costume you might only wear once or twice.
While there are instances in Second Life where I overlook imperfections, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed here. That said, if I were into futuristic roleplay, I’d absolutely rock this look and save a ton of lindens on clothing. And yes, I’m totally rocking the naked look right now—you could say it’s also a wonderfully lag-free style!
