It has been too long since I last made a shape! I made this shape for the LeLutka May Bento Mesh Head. I have made a handful of shapes for Simone, Chloe, and Spencer mesh heads from LeLutka – so I will probably not make any more shapes for those faces. I will try to make shapes for the ones I have not, such as May, Greer, Cate, and Bianca. I wear Chloe a lot, but they’re really all gorgeous when paired with the right skin.
Hello from the drive-in! We’re watching “Awkward First Date” — it’s coming to a virtual theater near you. This barefoot hippie guy let me hang around him for a bit for today’s post, should I keep him?

Aren’t these Gigi Balloons from Legna the best? I love that these numbers come with two really nice poses for each hand. Even though the balloons state they are no modify, it actually allowed me to modify one, and I tinted it a light shade of blue. You can also rez these numbers for any occasion.
This is meant to be an early Happy New Year post, but I also wanted to share my reflections on last year. Overall, I feel I had a good year in Second Life! I upgraded from Lifetime Premium to Lifetime Premium Plus, which cost a significant amount, and at first, I was genuinely excited. However, as the year progressed, I began to worry about the longevity of Second Life.
I was enthusiastic about the mobile app when I tried it early this year as part of the alpha program; however, I now think it’s completely hopeless. This Open Letter to Linden Lab clearly outlines why I don’t believe we will ever see a usable mobile app.
I had a lot of fun in the Aurelias region with my friend Sparkle. Still, I ultimately decided to pull the plug when I recognized that the economy and the state of Second Life might be uncertain in 2025. It was actually an easy decision; when faced with uncertainty, it is prudent to eliminate an unnecessary expense. As much as I enjoy having a whole region, I also appreciate the freedom that comes with not having to maintain one. I told Sparkle not to let me bring the region back next year, even if I have new ideas and want another one. 2025 is not the year for significant land projects.
What am I looking forward to in Second Life in 2025? I am looking forward to Philip Linden changing his outfit. Additionally, I am eager for the next Linden Home theme, although Linden Lab has gone silent on that topic! Will it ever come? Who knows. It has been so long since the next theme was chosen via a poll that I almost forgot we were promised Alpine and Tiki as the next two themes. I am also looking forward to cleaning my inventory; right now it stands at 77k, but I know I can reduce it to 50k if I put in some effort.
What are you looking forward to next year? Let me know in the comments!
JUICY has just released several collections of sculpted Mini Top Hats! Each hat is adorned with a colored ribbon with lovely heart pattern lace and decorative hat pins! There's also a sculpted heart that is color changeable when you touch it.
We have released the hats in a collection of colors that match perfectly with Juicy Pumps as well as a sweet berries and cream collection and a collection of dark colors with subtle hues.
This year marks the 5th Bellisseria Trick or Treat event! The first one will always be my favorite because it was hard as hell. None of us knew how many candies we needed to win, so my friends and I went all in and collected a ridiculous amount. I still didn’t make the Top 10 or get all four bears in 2021, but it was so much fun trying. The second year was great too, and the bears were still adorable.
By the third and fourth years, the prizes switched to boopies, and collecting candies around Bellisseria got easier, but it still had some challenge to it.
This year, though, felt like life on easy mode. It was so simple that I didn’t enjoy it as much. As a homeowner, I already got five free candies every day. Since the Tier 4 prize only required 400 candies, I knew from the start that I’d win just by following the Bellisseria Citizens group Trick or Treat list. I guess I’m grateful it only took me two days to hit the top prize, but it wasn’t as fun because I didn’t have to team up with friends and explore all over Bellisseria like before.
My pro tip for this event is to skip any house where the bucket is too hard to find. There are tons of buckets out there, and your time is valuable. If you don’t spot it within five seconds, move on. When teleporting around, open Area Search, type “BUCKET,” and get within five meters so you can click it. You can even touch it directly from the Area Search window.
One thing I noticed about the BC list this year is that there were only around 400 buckets total. That makes me think not many people are active in the Bellisseria Citizens group anymore. There have to be over 30,000 Linden Homes by now, so where’s everyone at?
How can this event be more exciting next year? Go back to the first year’s trick-or-treating style. I don’t want to know how many candies I need to win, and the requirements should depend on how many residents are actually collecting. I’m not saying make it harder, just make it less predictable. There was also a lot of lag this year, and I really don’t like those long, narrow 2048 parcels. And bring back the bears, they were the best!
