Total Betty has just released the Lash Factors Collection (shown above are some of my favorites). They were super easy to fit and there's something for everyone. The lashes are $100L per pair or $900L for the entire fatpack of 12 styles! This will probably be more than enough lashes to keep even the pickiest lash-lovers happy.
Here's what you get in the fatpack:

Tp to the Total Betty @ Juicy (satellite location) for a FREE pair of lashes!! The gift is in a blue gift box on the table.
I'm wearing Kira Ahn's newest Lilly skins in Sunkissed in this post. It's so beautiful but I'll have to show you the makeups in another post. I'm burned out from fitting 12 pairs of lashes in a row!!

iheartsl.com syndicates a lot of sl blogs, 806 to be exact! I’ve noticed that when the site is syndicating this many blogs, it will experience occasional server hiccups (blogs not updating, database errors, etc.), so I’ve recently added a policy to remove blogs that have not updated for 60 days or more. This has reduced the number of inactive blogs quite a bit — but it’s totally screwing up my “syndicated blogs” count.
When I checked in the site dashboard, the total is 1,161, which is NOT an accurate number. I think that number reflects the numbers of blogs (links) that has *ever* been syndicated. A more accurate number is 806 — which is reflected on the blogroll. I copy & pasted my entire blogroll links into Excel to count ’em.
With that said, I think that iheartsl.com is the “largest” community blog feed, simply because it’s syndicating the most.
Fashionplanet, which has been around forever, is only syndicating 583 blogs (I counted!) but a lot of people still read it out of habit.
Iheartsl.com has just passed the 2 year mark (in January) and it’s still going strong. I’ve had a lot of issues with it, but I’m really happy that I have my server problems under control now (for the most part).
Thank you for ALL of your patience for the past 2 years, and for being so supportive.
I’ve been seeing quite a bit of buzz lately around PrimFeed, which is touted as a Flickr alternative specifically for Second Life residents, created by a fellow resident. Interestingly, PrimFeed isn’t the only social media site exclusively for Second Life, despite such claims. Personally, I don’t use any of these Second Life-specific platforms because I prefer to share my Second Life photos and blog with the entire internet.
Why Some Second Life Residents are Upset with Flickr
The primary reasons that some residents are frustrated with Flickr often boil down to two things:
They aren’t PRO users and face limitations.
Frequent Terms of Service (TOS) violations, such as posting adult content and not properly moderating it, or engaging in commercial activities on a free account results the account being deleted.
Flickr offers a free option that lets users host up to 1,000 photos, provided they adhere to specific restrictions. On the other hand, PrimFeed permits adult and commercial content on free accounts but limits file sizes to 1500×1500 pixels. I believe free account limitations are justified due to the operational costs of such platforms, and I’m willing to pay for a service as long as it meets my needs.
My Take on Flickr vs. PrimFeed
I’m not dissatisfied with Flickr nor am I seeking an alternative. Since signing up as a PRO member in 2007, I’ve found Flickr to be the best photo hosting service for Second Life brands and bloggers. For under $60 USD a year, I enjoy unlimited photo and video storage and the ability to embed these media into my blog seamlessly.
First Impressions of PrimFeed
PrimFeed strikes me more as a social media platform, akin to a streamlined version of X (formerly Twitter), rather than a robust image hosting site like Flickr. It offers social features but lacks the comprehensive photo hosting capabilities that Flickr provides.
In my opinion, PrimFeed is not a replacement for Flickr. It’s more of a pared-down social media platform that may or may not gain traction. Without enough paying subscribers, its sustainability is questionable due to the costs associated with hosting and bandwidth.
Here are the essential features missing from PrimFeed:
No viewing without a PrimFeed account and are signed in
No high quality image format, everything is converted/compressed to .webp
No favorites tab, makes it hard to revisit images I liked
No search, can’t find anything I’m looking for
No direct messaging/private messaging
No views count
No dates on gallery images
No groups
No albums
No tagging other people
No tags
No sharing outside of PrimFeed
No private photo settings
No embed code for your blog
No clickable profile links
No videos
No notifications to email
No custom URL/ability to change url
No stats who liked/shared/viewed?
No editing tools/batch editing for photos
No automatic account deletion (must send a notecard and wait 72 hours)
Is PrimFeed a reasonable replacement for Twitter? Absolutely. It’s designed to look and feel just like Twitter, ensuring you’ll feel right at home. Plus, you won’t have to deal with annoying real-life ads and irrelevant content cluttering your feed. When you evaluate PrimFeed as an alternative to Twitter, you’ll find it much more appealing.
This morning, I stumbled upon the cutest thing ever!!!! I was pleasantly surprised by how detailed this Swan Lake mini-scenery prop from Kraft is, and it also includes the outfit! For a mere $75L, you get the pose prop that’s scripted with particle effects (fireflies, fog, spot lights ,water) and audio effects. Also, this included the Ballet outfit (Dress, ballet points, tights, and hair feathers) and seven Swan dance poses.
I love pose props with a nice scenery included, it really makes photography a breeze. The outfit is a nice bonus, too. What else can you by for $75L that’s this awesome?

I love these new Clarus Eyes (Special Edition #3) from Aphotic Gloom. You can get these at CHIC Fashionably Late starting today.
My favorite color is the Druuna (Purple) one, but they’re all nice!

While checking my Adsense dashboard this morning, I noticed that Google added stats from other planets and moons, LOL!! Happy April Fool’s Day!! Just in case I have some extraterrestrial readers now, HELLO!! 🙂
Don’t believe anything you read today, especially if it seems absurd, it probably is.
The LOLO Pet Shop has just released these adorable tiny Mesh Birds, and they’re just my kind of pet in SL. These birds do not need to be fed, they don’t need attention (petting, playing), and you can’t even breed them! Just buy one bird, or a few birds (if you want to collect all the colors) and watch these lil’ darlings fly around you OR set it to perch on top of your shoulder.
The LOLO Mesh Birds is scripted with these functions: follow fly, follow walk, roam small, roam, roam large, fly, sleep (reset), chill, walk, rename, and name display.
These birds have transfer permission only, so they’ll make a great gift but you’ll have to be careful not to lose them!
Who doesn’t love a good uniform? This outfit is too sexy for the real military, but it’s just right for virtual dress up. Fishy Strawberry released the Army Pin-Up outfit at Uber, and I just love everything about it! The matching hat is a fantastic addition.
I’ve never been able to get into the hole eyelash thing in SL… As is usually free head locations are scarce for me anyways as a neko, so eyelashes get a low priority…
And you call yourself a lazy blogger?
