Woohoooooooooo!!!!!!! I was bored, so I made a new banner for Fall 2009. YAY. I hope you guys like it better, and if you're reading this through a feed reader, you're totally missing out!! Banners are tough cos they're an odd size and I suck at PS. BUT, I tried! 🙂
New poses!!!!! Are you Bella?

The subscribeomatic kiosk board thingie is purple.. you won’t miss it!
The With Love Hunt is coming! It doesn’t start until the 30th, but I have to show you this cape! I know you guys don’t like teasing, but this gorgeous Chloe Cape from Diram is part of the hunt, and I felt inspired to wear it today. I normally don’t do hunts, but I think that for $10L, you can’t pass this up.
I’m at Izzie’s gorgeous sim for this photo. I love Winter sims! Do you guys know of any other ones?
When I left my sim earlier today, I ran into Caduceus Lorakeet (twice). The first time, he snapped a picture of me and posted it to Flickr, and the second time, he showed it to me like a stalkerazzi (jk!). Normally, that would freak me out a bit, but he called me SL Royalty, and that made me happy. Also, I’m glad I was wearing shoes, instead of my usual “I’ll just tp around barefoot, nobody’s looking at me” look. I seem to have forgotten my shirt though, but at least from the backside… it looks decent! 😀
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
Pink Fuel – Lip Glaze (Retro)
Exile – Breathe Me (Frost)
Diram – Chloe Cape
LeLutka – Fur Hat&Muff
Celoe – Snare Ankle Boots (Tamarillo)
The Secret Store has a new Peplum Shirt out with a color-changing belt! The note card says to rez this shirt on the ground and touch it to change the belt color, but I just made sure the edit menu was up, then I clicked on the shirt and the menu came up too. If you’re able to do this, you won’t need to rez it on the ground. I also do this to change hair accessory color sometimes, when I don’t want to attach the HUD (it works with the new Truth Siobhan hairstyle worn above).
I found the brightest little store in SL two weeks ago called Candy Mountain, and bought this adorable hair bow. Check it out here.
I’m really into mesh shoes created specifically for SLink’s mesh feet, so shoe designers, please make some more! HINT HINT HINT.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Truth Hair – Siobhan (LightBrowns01)
The Secret Store – Peplum Shirt (Floral) S
Teefy – Lovisa Ruffle Mini Skirt (Pure) S
Candy Mountain – Boogily Bow Nest modded
Ingenue – Lydia Slingbacks (Lime)
SLink – Mesh Hands (av)
SLink – Womens Medium Height Barefeet (Rigged S)
Flair – Fingernails Applier (Set 42)
Gala Phoenix will be releasing the April skins soon (tonight or tomorrow) and they are fantastic!! There are seven makeups for each skin tone, and two versions of each makeup included in every purchase. If you've ever wanted MORE COLORS… here they are, tons of bright & bold eyeshadow with names that are happy, like Bunny, Rainbow, Showers, Tulip, etc.
[ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Bunny 1 | 2 ] [ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Crocus1 | 2 ]
[ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Jonquil 1 | 2 ] [ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Pure 1 | 2 ]
[ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Rainbow 1 | 2 ] [ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Showers 1 | 2 ]
[ GP – Petal [Dark] April-Tulip 1 | 2 ]
April has new lips, brows, and nose (from what I can tell, there may be more subtle differences all over the body). The new brows are super nice and the lips are a bit pouter, too.
Visit the Curio sim for all Gala skins!
* Hair worn here from [Pacadi Jasha] Susan I – Coffee (group gift)
* Jonquil makeup will be released at a much later date! Sorry about that!
I know it’s still November, but I’m already in the mood for winter lights and Christmas festivities in Second Life. There are several things I look forward to during this time of the year, including Black Friday sales, the LeLutka Christmas tree gift, and clothing options that go beyond dresses that barely cover one’s bum. I need to find a way to wear this Everfaery Frostlight Jacket year-round, as it comes with so many color options and optional string lights. Everything is better wrapped in string lights.
To distract myself from the issues with the Second Life mobile app, I decided to visit Winter Love Valley and enjoy some snow. This region is simple yet truly exceptional for photography! I was especially impressed with the chairs by What Next; the poses are all great and appear very natural. I immediately messaged Sparkle to ask if we had those chairs in our region, and she confirmed that we do.
In all the years that I’ve blogged about Second Life, I have never felt appreciated by Linden Lab. Therefore, when I read about the secret invitation-only blogger’s Zoom meeting, I was not surprised at all to not receive an invitation. A few other bloggers expressed similar sentiments, as feeling excluded is regrettably nothing new here. Second Life gains a significant amount of free press from its residents; we take millions of photos and create videos daily to promote the platform. Second Life bloggers are essential to the platform’s success; without us shopping, buying regions, and showcasing our experiences online, brands would not be able to thrive here.
If you read the blog post I linked, you will see that in Brett Linden’s email, he mentions plans for even more secret meetings with selected creators. If you are a creator, consider how you can get on that list, as your competitors may receive invitations and obtain information that could significantly impact your livelihood before you do.
There’s more I want to express about how Linden Lab has handled these matters, but I am not particularly impressed with recent developments, and I worry about Second Life’s future. With tickets going unanswered and numerous hacking incidents reported on the platform, I question whether we are safe. Is Second Life in trouble?
Please share your thoughts in the comments! Do you believe Second Life is better than ever, or do you think it could improve?
A little late posting this one, but for the Fourth of July, I remembered the one song that should probably be the theme song for the USA: William Shatner singing “She’s Miss United States” in Miss Congeniality.
I needed something that screamed patriotic pageant, and I remembered I had the Magnolia Gown from Just Because. Since it comes with a fatpack HUD, I was able to put together the perfect red, white, and blue look.
I’m also wearing the new Odyssey hairstyle from Truth. It has that soft, windswept look that’s perfect for outdoor photos.
Hope everyone is having a happy long holiday weekend!
